Summary: Theo didn't want a pet but somehow or another, he got one.

It blinked first and Theo blinked right back.
By the spirits, what was he suppose to do with it?
He tried trying to make it go away. He tried yelling at it. He thought about throwing things at it. While he didn't like it, he didn't want to hurt it. He tried walking away but the thing would follow him around. When he stopped, it stopped. He almost thought that the damn thing thought it was a game. He decided to stop and wait…maybe the thing was bored.
About thirty minutes later, he was still standing here and staring at the thing.
How do you tell a goat to go away?
He thought about using his animal spirit. Just to scare it away but he thought that it would be a little harsh.
It is only a goat. It is probably curious about him. He doesn't know why the thing was curious about him.
Perhaps, once the goat satisfied his curiosity, it would leave. He hoped so. He sighed as he turned around and walk. He could hear the Goat's footsteps behind him. He was getting close to Master Swoop's house. How on earth is he going to explain that a goat followed him here?
Maybe, Master Swoop knew where the goat came from.
Or Dai Shi sent it.
He frowned…why in the spirits would Dai Shi send a goat?
He stopped and turned around. It looked normal enough. Plain white goat. It didn't look too old or too young. Maybe, it thought that he had food or something.
"You know that I don't have anything, right? No food or water."
The goat just stopped and stared. It started wagging its little tail.
Great…he got stuck with the dumb goat.
"Why are you following me? Are you that bored?"
The goat just tilted his head then came over and bumped his head against his stomach.
"I am not going to pet you."
The goat gave him an eager look.
By the spirits, what was this goat on?
"If Dai Shi sent you, you are a terrible spy."
The goat started nibbling on his jacket.
"So…you are going to eat me to death?"
The stupid goat just kept nibbling on his jacket. Stupid goat.
An idea popped into his head. He focused for a moment then he swung his arms around. He let go of his antelope animal spirit. His spirit landed on the ground behind the goat. The goat turned around….the thing looked excited. His animal spirit took off and so did the goat.
He nodded.
Good.
Maybe, the thing would go home.
About thirty minutes later, he reached Master Swoop's home with no trouble. His Master seemed to know that he was coming because he met him half way. After the first million times that he has done it, he was no longer surprised.
Master Swoop stopped short of him and tilted his head.
He stopped a few feet in front of him and frowned.
"Master?"
"You seemed to have a guest following you."
He groaned. He didn't want to turn around.
"Is it white and black and have horns?"
"I can't see, Theo but I can sense a goat coming."
His hand hit his face and he turned around to see the goat approaching him.
What in the world is he suppose to do with a goat?
