Chapter One.
Catch me if you can!
As Jeremy stood outside of the plain looking house, he knew what was most likely happening behind the ebony colored door. Even before the red reptile could reach the brass handle and screech could be heard inside the house from his wife. Jeremy cringed slightly as he heard his wife chase after a particular energetic tot.
Finally after what seems like hours (which was really a few minutes) Jeremy gathered enough courage to enter the battle zone. Instantly he couldn't help laughing quietly; Eleanor was under the kitchen table looking around widely, her azure eyes' darting around as he white tail waved around eagerly.
"Where are you, Randy?" she asked in her I-gonna-getcha-voice that only made Randall run faster.
"Well, this is welcoming," said Jeremy leaning against the doorframe. With a thud and an a small 'Ow!' Eleanor crawled out from under the table and glared up at her husband who only smirked down at her.
"Your worse than Ran you know," Eleanor snapped smiling as Jeremy helped her up "He really knows how to catch me unawares, I mean he's appeared out of no where! I don't know how he does it" Eleanor sighed as she kissed Jeremy, and then began looking around for their little purple blur.
Jeremy noted the soapsuds trailing from the bathroom while he hugged his wife.
"Bath time?" he asked grinning at the state of the floor that seemed to have flooded from the bathroom.
"Don't remind me" moaned Eleanor burying her head into Jeremy's chest. "I'm the one cleaning that up later" she said before sighing again.
"Want some help?" asked Jeremy smiling at his wife's thankful expression.
"Maybe later… But first" she said with a smirk "We've got some monster hunting to do" said Eleanor turning quickly to the hall where a small purple creature with large emerald eyes had been watching. But was now running (on all eights) for his life shrieking as his mother chased him through house.
Jeremy shook his head while laughing at his wife's tactics, but that's why he married her.
"A little help?" called his wife as she missed catching their swift son.
"Coming" said Jeremy taking off after the two, smiling helplessly at his wife who was watching their son run across the ceiling at an alarming speed.
"We lost him, how embarrassing!" these were Jeremy's thoughts as he peered around a corner trying to find their little angel. In all truth Jeremy loved playing these games with his son but Randall was getting better all the time.
"It's quiet," said Jeremy narrowing his golden eyes as he rounded the corner cautiously "Too quiet" he said smiling as he saw a small blue tail disappear into the guest bedroom. Jeremy smirked as he approached the room but a noise straight ahead caused Jeremy's head to snap in that direction.
"I could've of sworn" mumbled Jeremy heading towards the sound. Jeremy groaned as he found himself at another corner, he'd bought this house for a family and now it was too big!
Silently Jeremy peeked around the new corner seeing a small green ball. Jeremy groaned loudly while he began rubbing his temples. The red monster stepped out from behind the corner to pick up another one of Randall's toys.
"ROAR!" bellowed a loud voice as a small reptile materialized in front of Jeremy's face. Jeremy yelped as he fell to the floor closing his eyes in shock, this was new!
Jeremy decided he better play dead for a bit…
After a pause, Jeremy knew Randall was getting nervous.
"Daddy?" Randall asked in a quiet voice.
Jeremy tried to hide his smile as he squinted up at his son; his son had a big heart, always the softy. Slowly Randall reached out a shaky hand to prod his father but Jeremy had other plans.
"Gotcha!" yelled Jeremy pouncing his son who shrieked happily as his father pulled him into a hug.
"You're alive!" exclaimed Randall hugging his father around his neck happily.
"Well yeah" laughed Jeremy shaking his head. "Now what did you just do?" asked Jeremy smiling at his son.
Randall beamed up at his father,
"I can disappear!" Randall said happily, Randall closed his eyes as if concentrating hard then to Jeremy's shock the small reptile vanished surprising Jeremy who let his eyes to widen.
"Wicked!" said Jeremy hugging his son harder.
"Can't breath!" said Randall struggling slightly but Jeremy knew by Randall's smile he was joking. "You know," said Randall looking at his father "I thought you were dead" said Randall looking quite putout by this.
"Nah, you're not going to get rid of me so easily!" laughed Jeremy getting to his feet still carrying his son close.
"I was worried," said Randall seriously glaring at his father, but his two jade eyes glaring only made Randall look cuter in his father's eyes.
"No way" laughed Jeremy "I'm not going anywhere" said Jeremy grinning at his son's solemn features, which made him laugh helplessly.
"You promise?" asked Randall as Jeremy walked into the small reptile's room.
Randall's room was a sky blue color with glow-in-the-dark stickers of stars and planets lining the roof making the ceiling look like a galaxy. Toys were scattered across the floor of the room and several times Jeremy stopped to kick something out of the road.
Jeremy beamed down at his son, he couldn't help it; Randall was always the worrier.
"Of course I promise" smiled Jeremy pulling the comforter over Randall's small frame. "I'm not going anywhere!" said Jeremy.
"O-Kay!" said Randall grinning, but stopped his father before he could leave. "Tell me a story?" Randall tried with a sly smile.
"Oh… Alright, how about 'Octey-locks and the there kids?" asked Jeremy receiving a gasp from Randall prompting him to go on, "Once upon a time there were three kids, a teenager, a toddler, and a baby. And they lived in a small cottage deep in a dark forest-" Jeremy continued with his story until Randall's eyes started to close.
When Randall was fast asleep Jeremy tucked the young monster in and flicked on the night-light.
"Good night Randy" whispered Jeremy closing the door leaving the room in the eerie glow of planets and stars…
