DOGGY DAYCARE!! (TMM STYLE!!!)
(Part 1)
The sun was warm and bright that day. A gentle breeze made the leaves dance on the tree's branches. Ichigo sat on a wooden bench in the park, staring at the ground, with nine different coloured leashes in her right hand.
'How am I to do this?!' She thought. 'I have to take care of these dogs but I have to be at the café in a half-an-hour!' She looked at the leashes and sighed.
"Why the long face, honey?" A teasing voice said from above her.
Ichigo whipped her head up in surprise! Floating above her were three very familiar aliens! Kish, Pai and Taruto were looking down at her. "Kish! What are you doing here?!" She said, almost falling off the bench in shock! Pai and Taruto exchanged quick glances, as if to say, "What are we, frick'n invisible?!" Kish carelessly floated down to her and said, with an innocent smile. "I'm on holiday!"
"On holiday?" Ichigo said, with a puzzled look on her face.
"Yes, holiday! What?! You act like you don't know we take holidays!" Pai answered. "Um ... well." ; Ichigo said, a little embarrassed. "Who knew?!" Pai only rolled his eyes at the comment and was about to say something but Taruto interrupted him with a whine "Let's go and get something to eat! I'm starving!" Kish turned around and glared at Taruto evilly. "Um ... maybe later." Taruto said. 'Geez! What's his problem!' Taruto thought 'Ooooo! The first case of male PMS!' That thought made Taruto laugh. The two elf-eared boys floated down and seated themselves on the bench next to Ichigo.
Kish noticed the leashes in Ichigo's hand. "I see the leashes but I don't see any dogs. Are they invisible?!" Kish asked, with a chuckle. "No. They're over there." Ichigo replied, pointing behind them. There were nine dogs in all, all different colours and sizes, running around and barking their heads off.
"Wow! That's a lot of pets to have for one girl!" Pai said, a little amazed. "They're not mine," Ichigo answered. "I'm babysitting them!" "You mean like doggy daycare? Cool!" Taruto said, excited. "NO! Not cool! I took this job to make some more money but I didn't know I'd end up doing this on the same day that I work at Café Mew Mew! In fact, " Ichigo pauses and looks at her watch. "Gah! I have to be at the café in twenty minutes! What am I going to do?!" She yelled, going all spastic and attempting to rip out her hair.
Kish looked at her and felt sorry for her. He put his hand to his chin and started to rock back and forth on his heels, trying to think of an idea to help her. Suddenly, he got one. He dropped his eyes onto Ichigo and a big, devilish grin came across his face.
That look on Kish's face made Pai uneasy. Knowing Kish, who knows what hair brained idea he had just thought up! Kish walked up to Ichigo, took one of the leashes and started to toss it back and forth in his hands. "I have a fantastic idea!" Kish said, excitedly. "You go to the café and the guys and I will babysit the dogs for you!" "What?! Really?!" Ichigo said, a little surprised.
"WHAT?!!!" Pai and Taruto yelled at once.
"Geez! Guys! What's your problem?!" Kish asked, rubbing his neck, which is now kinked from turning too fast. "Kish, can we talk for a sec?!" Pai said, grabbing one of Kish's ribbons and jerking it so hard that Kish almost fell backwards onto his butt. Pai dragged Kish away, so Ichigo wasn't in earshot. "Are you insane! We know nothing about dogs!" Pai yelled after letting go of Kish's ribbon. "Yeah! What if one of those things bites off my hand or something?!" Taruto added. "What! These are dogs, not fire breathing monsters! Besides, how hard can it be? One of them is a cute little puff ball!" Kish replied, pointing to the Pomeranian, who was hopping around, looking cute as ever. "See! They couldn't hurt a fly!" Kish continued with another one of those smiles that makes everyone else's stomach clench up with unease.
Pai shifted his glance over to the Doberman and German Shepherd, who were snarling and growling at each other, looking ready to fight.
Taruto and Pai both look at Kish nervously. "Can I get that in writing?!" Pai said, a little worried. "Please, you guys! This is very important to me!" Kish begged. "Why?" Taruto asked, with a puzzled look on his face. Pai stared at Kish for a moment. Then it hit him. "Now I see! You're doing this to impress Ichigo! Aren't you?!" Pai asked. "Um ... no." Kish said, blushing. "Ha! I knew it!" Pai yelled "So what! You never know! She might say "yes" to go on a date with me!" Kish answered, blushing an even darker shade of red. "Do this for me, please! You've never helped me out before!"
"WHAT!" Taruto and Pai both yelled in outrage.
"We have so!" Taruto yelled, glaring. "We helped you when you got tangled in your ribbons and when you accidentally stapled a piece of paper to your hand and when you got locked in that closet AND-" "Okay! Okay! I get it!" Kish interrupted. "Please, you guys!"
Pai and Taruto exchanged glances, sighed and nodded, wishing they were dead or someplace far, far away.
"Thanks guys! You won't regret it!" Kish said, smiling happily. "I want that in writing too!" Pai said, with a chuckle. "Ha, ha. Very funny." Kish said "What a comedian!"
That being done, the three elf-eared boys walked back over to Ichigo. "Is everything alright?" Ichigo asked, a bit confused. "Yes, everything is fine. We'll be more than happy to help! Right guys?!" Kish said, turning to his buddies with begging puppy dog eyes. Pai and Taruto sighed again and, with great hesitation, nodded. Kish's face broke into a big grin as he turned back to Ichigo.
"You're really going to do this for me, aren't you? Thank you so much! You're such a good friend!" Ichigo said, with a sweet smile. Pai and Taruto looked at each other and thought, 'Yet again, we're chopped liver!' "Well, you know I'd do anything for you, Ichigo!" Kish said, trying to keep a straight face . "Hey. This isn't one of your tricks to get me to go out with you, is it?! Hmm?" Ichigo scowled. 'Uh-oh! Busted!' Kish thought. "What?! I would never do that to you!" Kish said, trying to look innocent.
"(cough)Bullshit!(cough)" Pai teased but stopped dead after noticing the glare Kish was giving him.
"Whatever. I don't care right now. I've got to go! Here, take this." Ichigo said, taking a little pink piece of paper out of her pocket. "This has all the dogs' names and how to take care of them written on it." "We don't need it! I know everything there is to know about dogs!" Kish said, trying to sound smart.
( DK: How far will you go?! You suck at lying! Kish: I resent that!(glares) AND I'm not writing this! You are! DK: Oh, yeah.)
"We'll take it!!" Pai yelled, snatching the pink piece of paper out of Ichigo's hand, trying not to think about what would happen without it!
"Thanks, you guys! This means a lot!" said Ichigo, trying to express her gratitude but still feeling a little bit nervous. She stood up and handed the leashes over to Kish. "Take care! Hee, hee have fun!" With that said, she waved goodbye and, now that she was a little late for work, raced off, praying that she wouldn't get fired.
Kish, Pai and Taruto stared after her until she was no longer in sight.
Kish whirled around and faced his comrades with a big, proud smile plastered on his face and said, with excitement. "Alright! Let's get started!!"
