It was another normal day, or as normal as you could get in Nearburg. Our favorite conjoined brothers sat at a round table, eating breakfast. cat was dinning on a piece of extra crispy toast while Dog was eating some sort of meat mush, cat looked mildly disgusted. Dog looked up at his brother excitedly, food covering his face and said, "So cat! What are we gonna do today? Huh?" cat glanced warily out the window, where the rain had been pouring down since 12pm. "Well, we're not going outside. I can tell you that."
Dog cast a sad glance at the window, "Oh come on cat! Lets go outside just this once! I wanna play in the puddles!" Cat's response was blunt as he got up and went to the refrigorator to get some milk, "No." Dog argued slightly, "But yesterday we went to the fish market because you wanted to! And after that i didn't go outside the rest of the day because you wanted to finish your book! could we please just-"
cat nearly spat out his milk, "I just remembered! We have a doctors appointment today! Hurry up and get ready or we'll be late!" As cat began to get everything they would need together he didn't notice Dog sigh sadly at not being able to play in the puddles. "Come on, Dog!" Dog quickly scarfed down the rest of his breakfast as the brothers walked out the door.
cat burst into the hospital, shivering as water trickled down his fur. Even though he had worn his brand new rain coat he still managed to get wet!
cat quickly pulled him and his brother up to the check in desk (not checking to see if he accidently pulled his brother to the ground), "Are you checking in?" asked a snooty-looking rabbit who was at the desk. "Terrific, i'm wet and now I have to deal with her." cat mumbled under his breath before adding, loud enough that she could hear him, "Yes." He filled out the neccisary papers and dragged Dog to the waiting area, "Cat, why are we here again?" cat sighed irritably, "I already told you, we're here so the doctor can make sure our spine is okay."
"Oh" Dog said quietly.
Finally they were called to the doctors office, where they would hear life changing news.
Catdog sat quietly on the uncomfortable, paper-wrapped "bed". The nurse had said. "The doctor will see you soon." oh how she lied. When the doctor finally came in he had an odd look on his face, "catdog, i have a... proposition for you"
Catdog sat up, Cat was the one who replied, "What proposition?" he was suspicious, who wouldn't be?
The doctor spoke with confidence, "In the near town of Farburg a dog and a cat were shot. Yes, they are going to die, But the good news is they donated their body to science! So we would like to ask, catdog... Do you want to be separated?"
Silence settled like a heavy blanket across the room, shock showing on the brothers faces. "Be sepatated...?" Dog asked slowly, as if having a hard time processing the information.
"H-how much will it cost?" don't get cat wrong, he loved his brother but it would be nice to do stuff by himself.
"That's the joy of it! It's completly free!" Catdog's jaw dropped, "Your kidding, right?"
The doctor grinned at Cat, "Nope, You are our testers, so it's completly free! but there is one, tiny complication..."
Dog tilted his head to the side, "What is it?"
The doctor now looked uneasy, "Well... The Dog thats dying has... Male parts, but the cat..."
It clicked in both their heads at the same time, "WHAT?" they both shouted.
"I'll just leave you to discuss amongst yourselves..." He slipped away.
There was a long silence between that, Cat's face was twisted up in thought. Dog really, really, really, wanted his own legs. Then he could play in the rain all the time! But he would give them up if his brother didn't want them, it was just the way he was.
Dog spoke first, "I don't think-"
He was cut off for the second time that day, "No, Dog. I can tell you want your own legs and...to be honest, you deserve them." he sighed, "I was so caught up being selfish that i didn't think about what you wanted to do, today is an example! All yesterday you were nice enough to do what i wanted and what did i do? I told you we wern't going out in the rain even though you wanted too." He sighed again, "If you getting legs means that i have to be a girl then so be it." He smiled feebly.
Dog's face almost split in half at the size of his smile, "Thank you, Cat!" He tackled his brother in a hug, "I guess it's a good thing your bisexual!"
Cat's face shone scarlet, "Dog!"
The doctor stepped in, "So... are you in?"
Catdog looked at each other before speaking in unison, "Yes."
I do not own catdog! really, i don't!
Anyways, this story has been brewing in my head for ever, i just had to do it! be expecting another update soon!
