A Wolf's Worst Time (1)
It was a beautiful day in Jasper. There was nothing to complain. The hunters were gone and the creature was dead. Everything was peaceful… almost.
"Man, it's a beautiful day!" Aaron said to himself. "I think I'll meet up with the gang today to see how they're doing." As he walked along the forest, he sniffed some flowers and gave a contented sigh.
He came across the river where he saw a familiar face. It was Humphrey. As he came close, he saw he was talking to Kate. Humphrey noticed him approaching."
"Hey, Aaron. What's up?"
"Nothing much." Aaron said, shrugging.
"'Nothing much'? You're a scientist and immortal. How can you not have anything going on?"
"I don't know. Some days are like that."
"Yeah," Kate started. "Especially when you're not immortal."
"Ha, Ha! Sorry about Kate. She can be skeptical sometimes."
"I see." Aaron said with a smirk.
"Yeah. So, are you thirsty? We have water and blueberry juice."
"I'll just have the usual."
"What's your poison, bro-lisimo?" Humphrey joked.
"Funny you should ask." Aaron said as he pulled out a funny looking bottle labeled 'poison'. He took a sip and smacked his lips. "Ah, delicious. Being immortal is the only thing with any kind of kick."
"That's so cool!" Humphrey exclaimed.
"Yeah, even though it's not real poison." Kate said with a sneer.
"Okay, if it's not real poison, then drink it." As he said that, he handed her the bottle.
"No!"
"Ha, Ha! You can't!"
"Yeah, because it has your spit on it." Aaron looked at the bottle.
"Oh. No matter. I'll just get some more." And with that he left. But then he turned and spoke to Kate. "You were right Kate! I tasted it, it's not poison. It's… well, never mind!" He then left.
"There is really something wrong with that wolf." Kate said.
"Yeah, but he's fun to hang out with. I wish a day like this would never end." As Humphrey said that he looked up. It's just so… awesome." And then he ended with a sigh and went on with his day.
