Hey guys, this is a new story that I've been thinking about ever since I watched Rugrats Go Wild MULTIPLE times with my cousins before we moved. Tell me what you think of the fictional character that I created for Siri. Please Read and Review. Thanks.
Disclaimer: I don't own Rugrats or the Wild Thornberrys. They belong to whoever created them. Frankly, I don't want to own them either.
Chapter one
"Ugh!" Kyra turned toward the cave entrance to see her girlfriend, Siri, climbing through.
"Siri!" Kyra exclaimed, rushing over. "What happened? Where did all these scratches and bruises come from?"
"I tried hunting some puppies that had been stranded on the island with their humans."
Kyra snickered. "You couldn't catch puppies?" she giggled.
"No, they were human babies." Siri growled softly, her head hung. "I didn't realize it until I was about to pounce on them. Though I did have some fun teasing this human girl and her pet. But then a dog humiliated me in front of them; I couldn't catch him and I don't understand why." Siri's shoulders sank as she looked at Kyra.
"Well, are they still on the island?" Kyra asked.
"Yeah," Siri told her, slinking over to the back of the cave.
"Well, the sun is about to set, perhaps they can share some of their food with us."
Siri's ears perked up. "Do you really think they'd do that?" she asked skeptically.
"Well, they will unless they're cannibals." Kyra told her.
Siri giggled and touched noses with her mate before they both turned toward the setting sun to await their brief change back into their humanoid selves. As the sun set, the two cats stood on their hindpaws and let their bones shift into different places. Siri turned into a bronze-skinned woman with rippling muscles and long limbs, flowing black hair and hazel eyes. Kyra turned into a creamy-skinned woman with lean muscles and bodily proportionate limbs, flowing red hair and electric blue eyes. The two looked at each other to make sure their tails had disappeared before jumping down from the cave and making their quick trek down to the beach. It was only fast because of their cat-like reflexes and speed. They arrived on the beach in the shadows to watch the two+ families.
"They seem friendly enough. Though that male eating the baby food does seem a bit off." Kyra said speculatively.
Suddenly, the dog's ears perked up and he looked in their direction. Surreptitiously slipping away, he made his way over to the two women.
"Come back for more?" He asked with a smirk.
"No Spike," Siri told him gently. "We've come to ask your forgiveness for me almost eating your human children. And to ask your human owners if they have any food to spare."
"Well, they caught some fish, but that's about it except crabs." Spike said.
"Thank you Spike. By the way, this is my mate, Kyra. Don't pee on her tail or I may have to mutilate you."
"Nice to meet you, Kyra." Spike said, waving his tail.
Kyra smiled kindly at him and then looked down at both herself and Siri. "We need clothes first." She told her mate.
Siri nodded and sprang back into the trees, resurfacing several minutes later with two dresses that resemble something off the Flintstones. The three of them began walking over. The man with the spiky blue hair noticed the women first and he nudged the man with short red hair. "Hey Chaz, check out the island hotties."
Siri smirked at Kyra as the other woman blushed. Next to notice was the brown-haired woman with the bandanna in her hair.
"Well, hi," she said. "How can we help you?"
"Hello," Kyra said. "I'm Kyra and this is my friend Siri. We were wondering if you would be kind enough to share some of your food with us. Our hunting day wasn't very good and we saw you from our cave…"
Just then a man with a high voice shouted, "No, uh-uh. How do we know you won't eat us? How do we know you won't wait until we're asleep before roasting us in the fire and eating our babies for dessert." As he continued ranting, the man slowly advanced on Kyra until his finger was in her face. "How do we know you won't pick us off one-by-one, making the rest of us scared, frantic and suicidal. How do we know- ouch!"
Everyone turned to where Siri was gripping the man's wrist. "It would do you good to back away from my mate, now." Her voice was low and deadly with the feline growl entering it a bit. The man quickly backed away.
"Don't mind him," the brunette woman told them. "He's afraid that we're all going to eat him once we run out of food on the island. Sit and have some fish, there's plenty."
"Thank you?" Kyra said, still a bit dazed from the unexpected verbal attack.
"I'm Betty, by the way. The redhead is Chaz, next to him with the spikey blue hair is Stu, and next to him with the glasses is his brother Drew. The blonde with a lot of lipstick next to him is his wife Charlotte and next to her is Stu's wife, Dee Dee. Then you have Chaz's wife Kira and my husband Lou. Over there are the Thornberrys, Nigel, Marianne, Debby, Eliza and their little boy Donny and the chimp, Darwin."
Everyone waved as they were introduced and Siri moved over to Eliza. "Nice to see you again, Eliza." She said pleasantly, holding out her hand.
"Have we met?" Eliza asked, shaking her hand.
"Yes, I believe the last time you saw me…" Siri bent to whisper in Eliza's ear. ",,, I was covered in clouded spots and threatened to eat you."
Eliza gasped at this and she and Siri moved a bit away. "You're the clouded leopard?" Eliza asked.
Siri nodded. "And my Kyra over there happens to be a striped cheetah. She has both the spots and the stripes. But Eliza, I beg of you a favor. Don't tell any of the adults. Kyra and I have been happy on this island for years. Our friends have made it so that no civilization is started here and we are happy together. Our relationship is strong. Please, we know about your father and his television show. We don't want him to broadcast our island, then hunters will come and Kyra and I have sworn not to kill humans."
Eliza looked into Siri's pleading eyes and nodded. "My lips are sealed." She told her.
Siri smiled her thanks and they began walking back. Kyra was sitting next to Kira and keeping a bit of distance between herself and Lou. "So you're from France?" Kyra was asking and Kira nodded.
"Siri, Kira's been to France. Oh, it must be beautiful there."
"It is," Chaz said happily. "It's where Kira and I fell in love. She was so beautiful in the Paris lights. I couldn't help it."
They gazed into each others' eyes as Siri took a seat next to Kyra. "Ah, true love is hard to come by." She said, looking at Kyra. The other woman smiled at her and this drew all of the men's attention.
"Are you two together?" Stu asked slowly, not wanting to provoke Siri.
Kyra turned back to him with a beaming smile. "Yes, we have been for a few years now."
"How long have you been on this island?" Charlotte asked, filing her nails with a sharpened stick.
"Almost fourteen years." Siri said dismissively. "We were best friends when our ship stranded here. Our parents were killed in the crash and so we were the only survivors. We crashed when we were six and had to fend for ourselves. If we didn't have each other, we would have perished, but luckily, we were best friends and practically sisters. It made us realize exactly how important family was and that if you lost it, you had nothing."
Kyra grinned up at Siri as the other adults looked up at each other thoughtfully.
"Don't get us wrong though," Kyra said, laughing. "We had plenty of fights over whose fault it was, but after I nearly got swallowed by an alligator and Siri was bitten by a venomous spider, we realized that we had to stop blaming each other and just work together to survive. We got together when we were about sixteen. By then we had been on the island for about ten years and it was a common ritual. It's actually all we've ever known."
"Wait, you've been here since you were six?" Dee Dee asked. The two women nodded.
"Fourteen years," Drew whispered.
"You poor things, you're only twenty and you haven't seen the world." Kira said.
Kyra turned to Siri and the other woman shrugged. "Well, we've always wondered what was out there and we got a bit lonely because no one ever came by, but we were also thankful because then, people would bring civilization and tear our island apart to make it into some getaway resort. They would scare away the animals and such. It wouldn't be fair to the island itself."
Stu and Drew nodded in agreement, while all the women said, "Good point."
"So, what do you girls do for fun?" Debby asked.
"Hunting, swimming, hiking, running through the trees, racing the alligators, practicing with our spears and bows, taking mudbaths to relax, things like that." Kyra rattled off.
Eliza and Marianne grinned at this as Debby and Charlotte asked, "Mudbaths? Really?"
Siri nodded and said, "But you have to be careful because the spiders get really close if you stay still too long."
At this moment, everyone except the two island women let out a yawn and began getting ready for bed. Siri and Kyra bade them good-bye and went back up to the cave.
"I think that was a good first encounter." Kyra said to which Siri nodded.
"I agree, love. Now, perhaps we can get some sleep? We have hunting to do tomorrow and you promised the alligators you would teach them how to stalk their prey without making so much noise."
Kyra nodded and the two curled up together beneath some spare animal skins. "Siri?" Kyra asked.
"Hmm?"
"Do you think we'll ever be able to tell them the truth?"
"No. Humans are too predictable. They'll only use it to their advantage rather than ours. Eliza is the only one who can know." Kyra nodded and snuggled into the warmth of her love, falling asleep within minutes with Siri close behind.
So, what did you think? R&R! n.n
