An Ordinary Day

Part One

That morning when Tino Väinämöinen opened his eyes to greet the sun, he thought it would be like any other weekend. And it indeed was, at least in some aspect.

Like every other day he woke up after the alarm rang for the tenth time or so, cleaned up and got dressed in his favorite blue jeans and white shirt. He then made a simple breakfast of Ahvenanmaan pannukakku along with blueberry jam and a cup of milk tea. While sipping his tea he scanned the newspaper, looking for nothing in particular. After that he quickly looked over the grocery list, making sure that everything that had run out was noted.

Putting the dishes away, he made use of the rest of the morning by cleaning around, moving furniture and fixing up the wall papers of the rather old house. And that was how he had spent all weekends before this and how he planned to spend those yet to come.

Only when his stomach growled did he glance at the grandfather's clock standing in a corner. It was almost 2 in the afternoon.

Heaving a sigh, he picked up the shopping list and made his way to the departmental store. Lucky for him the store was only a short distance away from his small but spacious cottage.

The store was almost empty save for a few people wandering about the isles. And like most afternoons, the clerk at the store was a rather interesting (to say the least) Pole. Looking up from his bright pink nails, the man acknowledged Tino's presence with,

"Like you'd look so good in a pink shirt! White is like, totally out fashion now!"

"Ummmm………… I'll keep that in mind."

"You know what else will, like, look totally smashing on you? Leather…"

Quickly paying for his purchase, Tino backed away from the counter and from the man called Feliks, who was well known for his cross-dressing prowess (?). His survival instincts reminded him of the last time he tried to listen to the man, and somehow ended up posing in an embarrassing piece of clothing.

Shaking his head while trying to stop the blush that was threatening to make an appearance, he strolled back towards his home.

The air was crisp and slightly tangy, reminding him of the kokko held back in his native soil of Finland during midsummer. Those days of summer were always special to him, almost magical.

Halfway in his musings, he heard something.

It was a moan that twisted his insides. And soon it was followed by the scampering of feet. Curious as to what happened; he headed for the nearby bushes.

And the sight that was before him would remain etched in his heart for years to come.

Cradling the bloody body of a white Bolognese puppy was a giant. Well, perhaps 'giant' was a bit of an overstatement, but the man towered over almost everything in the vicinity, save for a few elm trees.

"What happened to him?"

Tino rushed over to the kneeling man.

"K'ds."

"Huh?"

"S'me k'ds b'at h'm 'p."

It took Tino a minute or two to separate his thick accent from his words.

"That's horrible!"

He quickly reached for the pup, fearing that they might be too late. Just as he was about to touch it, the tower of a man stood up, causing Tino to topple backwards in surprise.

"Aaaah!"

Blue-green eyes peered through rectangle glasses, as the man mumbled,

"Tyvärr!"

Slightly confused with the foreign word, he jumped to his feet.

"Where are you taking him?"

"T' th' v't." The man had a blank expression on his face, as if telling a child something very obvious.

"I'm coming too."

All Tino got in response was a nod.

This is my first fanfiction, so please guide me along. I welcome all requests, suggestions and criticism. Any one of them means that you've read the story.

I plan on making this a collection of many chapters, and as for updates, I assure you that they will be frequent since I have nothing else to do at the moment.

Ahvenanmaan pannukakku is a traditional specialty of Swedish-speaking province of Aland Islands, Finland. It's basically a pancake with rice porridge as a base for the batter. The cold porridge is heated and thinned out with milk, enriched with eggs, sugar and spices like cardamom, saffron or cinnamon, poured in a wide oven pan and baked. It's served with whipped cream and berries.

Kokko is the midsummer bonfire held in Finland, an important time in folk magic.

Tyvärr is sorry in Swedish.

"S'me k'ds b'at h'm 'p." = Some kids beat him up.

"T' th' v't". = To the vet.

Reviews are my oxygen.
