AN: I don't own Bones but I do own Luna and Amy.
Hope you enjoy this Sweetsational Story. Here is Chapter 1.
I glance at my reflection in my bedroom mirror. After running a comb through my black curls I hurry into the kitchen of my apartment to pour myself a bowl of cereal. I was in the process of scooping cornflakes in my mouth and reading an issue of Who Magazine (a private thing that I enjoy doing) when my doorbell chimes. I stand up and push my chair in before hurrying into the hallway. I twist the lock and undo the chain. I open the door to find my neighbour Amy standing on the doorstep tapping her foot about on the ground. Her dark hair was tied in two thick plaits and she was wearing some jeans and a black and white spotted shirt. Amy and her family lived in the apartment across the hall from me and I had been invited to their dinner parties occasionally. I smile at the young teenager.
"Hey Amy," I begin. She just nods excitedly; I think that she had a bit of a crush on me.
"Hi Sweets," she replies.
"So what brings you to my apartment Amy?" I ask the girl. She smiles and holds out a bundle of fur that she was carrying. At first I thought it was a toy but then I realised it was a small grey cat.
"Well this here is Luna…" she begins "And me and my family are going on holidays to Australia so we were wondering if you could cat sit".
I smile at the kitten that was stirring around in Amy's arms. Cat sitting, I wasn't sure if I was going to be good with grey furry cats, I understood people not animals. The little kitten looks up at me with its big green eyes. It lets out a short mew and I immediately decide that I really wanted to look after this little kitten.
Amy glances over at me "So do you want to look after Luna or not?" she asks.
I nod "Yeah well how much trouble can one little kitten be?" I reply.
Amy just smiles "That's great Sweets; I have a few pointers for you though…" she begins.
"What sort of pointers are you talking about?" I ask the young teenager.
Amy just smiles and ruffles Luna's grey fur.
"Well they're pointers on proper Luna care" she replies. "Luna's favourite food is Dine tuna Mornay and she loves to play with people," Amy says with a smile.
I nod at Amy and put out my hands so that she could pass me Luna. She places the cat down in my arms. I slowly stroke her little furry head.
Amy just smiles "You two are just so adorable together…" she giggles. "Thanks again for Cat Sitting"
I nod at my neighbour "That's cool, neighbours do each other favours" I reply.
Amy nods back at me "That's great Sweets but my mom told me to finish packing" she informs me "So I better go, bye Sweets" she cries as she waves at me and hurries back down the hall leaving me holding Luna.
"Bye Amy" I call after her but Amy was already gone.
I look down at the kitten in my arms "Guess it's just me and you now buddy" I laugh.
"Mew, mew" says Luna opening and closing her little jaws. How much trouble could one little kitten be?
"Come back here!" I cry as I chase the small grey kitten through my apartment. She was like a lighting bolt. Luna was running around carrying my blue tie that Daisy gave me on one of our early dates in her small cat jaws. "That tie's from my girlfriend" I cry. Luna just drops the tie down on the ground and I pick it up and examine the bite marks that her little teeth had made. I sigh and put the tie up on the kitchen bench. This cat was going to be so much trouble. I sigh and sit down on the sofa. I switch on the TV and tune into some Wife Swap. Just as the wives were meeting over the table I hear a loud mewing coming from the little kitchen. "Mew, mew, mew, mew" it went. I look at the time 5:00pm. Dinnertime. Luna was obviously hungry. I hurry into the kitchen to find Luna gazing up at me, giving me the puppy dog eyes. "Hey Luna, you hungry?" I ask. She just mews softly at me, I could tell by her behavioural patterns that she expressing hunger. I glance over at the kitchen bench to see what food Amy had left for me but I then stop in my tracks. She hadn't left me any food; I had to go buy it. I look at the clock it was 5:07. I had to go buy her dinner. I look at the kitten who was rubbing on my calves "Hey buddy, you did it, you've officially gotten me to go to the shops to buy you dinner" I sigh. She just mews again in an approving way. Luna had already twisted herself around my little finger and she'd only been with me for the length of one episode of Wife Swap. I was so gullible.
I hurry into Woolworths and straight to the cat food aisle. I glance at the shelves to my left. They were completely filled with cat food in every colour of the rainbow. There were about twenty different brands and I was already lost. This wasn't at all like buying Sci-Fi movies from JB-Hi-Fi. That was easy they were all in alphabetical order. I walk to the far end of the shelves and grab the first can of cat food and begin to read it all, the flavours, the ingredients and the preservatives and additives. I was on about the fourteenth can when I feel a soft tap on my shoulder. I turn around to see a little old woman.
"You okay Son?" she asks.
I just shrug "I am looking after a neighbours cat and I can't quite remember what food the neighbours said she liked" I tell her.
The granny nods "Well I have two furry friends myself and they quite like the Dine brand" she tells me. I nod and grab one of each of the Dine flavours. The little old lady just smiles.
"Thank you" I tell her.
She nods "That's fine sonny but remember to get the cat some biscuits, dry food is very important for their little tummies" she tells me.
I just nod and throw a packet of biscuits into my shopping basket. I then head to the counter to pay for the food. I pay and was immensely shocked whilst doing that. Just to say I didn't think that I'd be spending over thirty dollars on cat food.
AN: Hope you liked Chapter 1. Amy is based off myself and Luna is my real life cat. Chapter 2 should be up soon. Luna will get her dinner and the two of them will have to watch a movie together. STILL TO COME: Daisy will come over and will fall head over heels in love with Luna.
Check out my other stories, they should all be updated soon and please Read and Review. Ideas for what antics Luna gets up to are always welcome you can include them in your comments.
