"Henry!" a bored sounding voice whined as Henry who had been sitting on the couch reading his newspaper set it down to see a certain little cartoon demon standing in front of him "I'm bored, can't we do something?"
"Oh not today buddy, I've got some things I need to do today" Henry replied "maybe tomorrow."
"You're not doing anything right now" Bendy implied, gesturing to the newspaper that the man had been reading.
"I'll be busy after I finished reading" Henry replied "but I don't have any stuff I need to be doing tomorrow so we'll do something tomorrow."
"Promise?" Bendy asked "because I don't wanna be bored tomorrow."
"I promise buddy" Henry replied "but for now, I think it's time for breakfast." He got up from the couch and headed into the kitchen with Bendy following behind him and once the pair were in the kitchen, Henry began looking through the cupboards, asking the toon what he should make for breakfast.
"Hey Henry, can I have one of these?" Bendy asked, grabbing a cookie jar that was sitting in the middle of the kitchen table "cookie?"
"Oh not right now" Henry replied, taking the jar from the little cartoon.
"Please, may I have just one cookie, just one" Bendy pleaded but Henry firmly told him no and placed the jar up on top of the kitchen cabinet, out of the little toon's reach "aww come on Henry."
"You know the rules, no goodies before breakfast and lunch" Henry told him "now what do you want for breakfast, cereal or toast?"
"Bacon on toast" Bendy replied, his trademark grin growing bigger.
"Of course I should have guest" Henry chuckled "well, if you want bacon on toast, then that's what you will have." After the pair had finished breakfast, Henry announced he was heading into his office to do some stuff he needed to do.
"Can I trust you to behave whilst I'm in my office?" Henry asked.
"Henry old buddy old pal, what do you take me for?" Bendy replied as he pretended to look offended "I wouldn't even think about causing any mischief whilst you're in your office doing whatever officey stuff you need to be doing."
"So can I leave you alone for an hour or two?" Henry asked.
"Sure pal, I'll be on my best behaviour" the toon replied "I'll just be sitting in the old living room and reading the paper." He then headed into front room, climbed onto the couch and picked up the newspaper that was almost bigger than him that when he opened it up, you wouldn't have been able to see him but his shoes could be seen sticking out from the bottom and satisfied that Bendy was going to behave himself, Henry headed into his office.
"I don't know why he reads this stuff, it's boring" Bendy commented, closing the newspaper and throwing it aside before making sure that Henry wasn't around and satisfied that he wasn't around, a mischievous grin spread across his face "now, let's have some of those cookies." The little demon jumped down from the couch and walked into the kitchen to see the great big shiny jar of cookies up high on the kitchen cabinet, way too high for him to reach but he was determined to get at that cookie jar so he took a chair from the kitchen table and dragged it all the way to the bottom of the cabinet, climbed onto it and attempted to reach them but they were still too high for him to reach.
"Come on, just a little further" he muttered, standing on his tippy toes to see if that would work but it was no use, the cookie jar was still too high up for him to reach "darn, this isn't working, there must be something that can help me reach them cookies." He sat down on the chair and began to think of ways he could reach up and get the cookie jar until an idea came to him, an idea that might work or might not, it was worth a try.
"He he he, I will get those cookies if it's the last thing I do" he said in a devious manner before carrying out his plan.
Meanwhile, back in his office, Henry was in the middle of doing some paper work when he realised that it was quiet, too quiet to be precise and he began to suspect that maybe Bendy was up to something, he was almost, always never made a peep when he was up to mischief so he decided to take a quick break from his work to check on his little cartoon house guest so he got up from his seat and headed out of his office and in the front room to find it empty and pieces of newspaper thrown everywhere.
"I'll check in the kitchen, see if he's in there" the man commented before heading into the kitchen and once he got there, he couldn't believe what he was seeing because there right in front of him, up against the cabinet was some kind of tower, a tower made up of a chair, step ladder, ironing board, a couple more chairs and a trampoline which all lead up to the top of the cabinet and sitting on top of that cabinet was a certain little cartoon demon who was holding a cookie jar and was eating the contents out of it.
"Ahem" Henry spoke causing Bendy to look down from the cabinet to see the human standing at the bottom of the tower he had made, hands on his hips and a raised eyebrow.
"Oh, hi Henry" Bendy replied before taking out a cookie from the jar and holding it out "Cookie?"
"No I do not want a cookie but I would like you to come down here" Henry replied in a stern manner and the toon began climbing down his makeshift tower, still holding the cookie jar "leave the jar on the shelf please."
"But.." Bendy protested.
"No buts Mister, put the jar back where it was and come down here" Henry ordered. Reluctantly, Bendy did what Henry asked and climbed down his makeshift tower and once he reached the bottom, Henry scooped him up, sat him on the counter and looked at him directly in the face.
"Now, I want to ask you a couple of things" Henry began "first, would you care to explain what all this is?" he pointed to the tower that Bendy had created, presumably to get to the top of the cabinet.
"Oh that thing, why it's a homemade tower that I made all by myself" Bendy replied, looking proud of himself "well remember how I said I was bored, well I decided to do something creative" Henry raised his eyebrow at him "oh yeah and I wanted to get to the top of the cabinet."
"I see and was there and specific reason why you wanted to climb up there?" Henry questioned "like for example, you wanted to get the cookie jar" at that moment, Bendy looked away from Henry with a guilty expression "ah, so you were after the cookies then I see" Bendy nodded, his expression still guilty "what did I tell you this morning Bendy, about the cookies?"
"No cookies before breakfast" Bendy replied "but I was eating them after breakfast so I don't know why you're giving me the stern talking too."
"I said no cookies before breakfast and lunch" Henry replied "and it's not lunch time yet is it, so you were eating the cookies before lunch."
"Oh yeah" Bendy replied with a guilty expression "so,what happens now?"
"Well I want you to put all the things you used to make your tower back where you found them, the chairs back at the table, the step ladder and ironing board back in the basement and the trampoline back outside" Henry ordered "then I'll be taking you into my office so I can keep an eye on you and keep you out of mischief."
"Okie dokie boss" Bendy replied with a salute before going to demolish his tower as Henry waited and once Bendy had finished putting the items he used to build his tower back in their rightful places, Henry took him into his office so that he could keep him out of mischief, after all, having a mischievous little cartoon demon living with you could be a handful.
