This has been written for Tipsy14 to cheer her up :P
Xenakisfox101112 gave me the idea a LONG time ago in a review on another one shot I did on these two (called Claire, it's broken!)… please check that one out as well!
"Myrnin, you need to feed it every day," Claire says patiently to her vampire boss, who seems to be taking this in pretty well. Too well, for her to truly believe that he is listening and taking in everything that she is saying. As usual, he doesn't appear to be really bothered about the useful (well if he doesn't do it, the hamster will die!) information that Claire is trying to share as he thinks he knows it all too well!
"John," Myrnin proclaims proudly, as Claire waits for an answer to her statement or at least recognition that he listened. Nope, she gets none of that… just a name for the creature that probably won't survive more than a week due to either starvation or that Myrnin will use it in an experiment. Knowing Myrnin, it will probably be a mixture of the two. "That's what he's called. John!" he repeats, looking at Claire for approval. Does he think that she will know the right name for a ginger and white spotted hamster that looks sort of like a rat but with fur and whiskers? No, she never had a hamster… they were too much work.
"And what do you have to do every day?" she presses, ignoring everything that he has just said and getting onto the important thing.
"Um… wash him?" Myrnin guesses incorrectly with a small smile. Claire hits her head theatrically; making Myrnin put his hands over the hamster, sorry John's, eyes to stop him seeing such acts of self harming!
"No!" Claire exclaims and points to the bag of hamster food she bought at the store, along with the bedding and bed… the only useful thing Myrnin did was pick the hamster. Still even that wasn't easy! It took him three hours to choose between a black one, one that looked similar to John and John: she almost committed him when he began to get into the individual pigmentation of each hamster! "Does this give you any clues?" she says pointedly, actually shaking the bag.
"Oh!" Myrnin exclaims, finally getting the point. "I have to feed him everyday… and not blood – he wants that rabbit food that you bought for him!" he says and although she shakes her head at how long it took him to draw this conclusion, at least he did! The other week when she tried to get him to understand how you had to plug in his phone every day (it was a miracle actually managing to get him to not break his phone) so that it wouldn't die… that still hasn't happened. He still drags her down to the lab via the portal to figure out why his phone has turned itself off!
"Well done!" Claire says sardonically, half laughing on the inside (although she doesn't let this show… then he'd get even more bigheaded than he already is!) at him.
One week later:
"Claire, it won't eat the food," Myrnin moans to Claire as she appears in the lab, looking disgruntled at the amount of phone calls she has just received from the mad vampire boss himself. He actually kept his phone charged, which was a plus that she didn't expect when she walked down to the lab.
She approaches the cage where John lives and spots the problem instantly.
"That's because you KILLED IT!" she yells at him.
Ahh well, John survived longer than she thought he would!
What did you think?
Sorry it's short!
Please review!
