Lil' Cal sat in the sofa and watched the strider brothers have another strife. He really adored them and wanted to guard them the best he could. But still, what can a puppet do? He saw Dave counter one of Dirks attacks. Lil' Cal laughed for himself. That little boy had grew so much. Cal had watched him grow. It made him happy that the little Dave soon could leave their nest. If Dirk was willing to let him go of course. Lil' Cal laughed once again.

"That's enough lil' man!" Dirk finally said. The Striders stopped their fighting.

"Okay Bro" Dave said. Lil' Cal followed Dave with his glassy eyes as he walked to the bathroom. Dirk also left the room. The doll was left alone once again. 'If only I could protect them' the puppet thought. But he couldn't he was just a puppet.
