Excuse
Anne and James were at a nice dinner with the parents of Hope. It had been a long day for Anne and as often happened, the subject turned to their children.
"How's Hope?" Anne asked.
"Well, she's not very happy." Michael said, "In fact, I'd go so far to say that she's very unhappy. We had to ground her for a week."
"Nothing serious, I hope." Anne said.
"Oh, she stayed out two hours past her curfew." Jennifer said. "I thought to give her a break, but Mr. Rules here..."
"Now Jennifer." Michael told his wife. "You can't let them get away with this. There's never any excuse for coming home past a curfew."
"Kimmie wasn't home when we left." James said. "If she's still not home when we get back we'll have to have a talk."
"Right!" Michael said. "Like I said, there's never any exc-"
Suddenly the wall on the other side of the room exploded inward, and screaming patrons fled. Standing, in all of its snarling glory was a humanoid wolflike creature, sheathed in russet fur and nearly nine feet tall even as it was hunched over, glaring green eyes surveying the scene. The shredded remnants of cargo pants and a crop top adorned the hideous creature, as it looked at the helpless humans, drool rolling down its saber like fangs. A glowing stone with a runic symbol was dangling from a collar around its neck.
Without missing a beat, it howled, leaped over the four, grabbed the pot roast from table 14 and smashed through the opposite wall.
Suddenly a blonde haired boy with a naked mole rat came running in.
"Did anyone-" He paused, and looked at Anne and James. "Oh, high Dr. and Mrs. Dr. P—did you see Kim?" The two, without missing a beat pointed at the hole in the wall.
"Thanks!" Ron said, running off. His voice drifted in through the hole as he ran out. "Bad Kim! No eating the SU-" his voice was interrupted by the sound of a car alarm starting off and dying horribly.
As Michael and Jennifer were looking at the still calm Anne and James in disbelief, a horde of monkeys dressed in ninja outfits swarmed through the building, vanishing out the same hole Ron and the somewhat changed Kim had.
"Monkey Ninja's!" The man screamed, "attack! The Amulet of Fenris WILL be mine!" Then he followed his ninjas."
"Ah." Michael said. "About there being no possible excuse-" He broke off.
"Kim! NO! BAD KIM, DON'T EAT THE MONKEY NINJA, YOU DON'T KNOW WHERE IT'S BEEN! AUGH! DON'T TRY AND EAT ME EITHER!"
"MONKEY NINJAS! GET THE AMULET!"
"As I was saying." Michael continued, "I stand corrected."
The End.
