Hurky: Here's another installment of the Dude Where's Series!
Sora: WOOT!
Riku: Is this going to be long?
Hurky: Actually, it's going to be the shortest Dude Where's story. I'm only going to write five chapters and then move onto Dude, Where's Donald's Pants and Goofy's Brain!
Sora: You mean that there's a Dude Where's story for Donald and Goofy?
Hurky: Uh, kinda. Check out my profile in the coming soon section for a complete description. My profile is updated as the stories progress.
Riku: And what if they read this story by the time the next one gets published?
Hurky: Then go read the story. Now, here's the disclaimer!
Disclaimer: Hurky doesn't own Kingdom Hearts 1 or 2 the Final Fantasy characters, Ryo and Zoge,or the Disney characters. If she did, KH3 would be in the works.
Riku: You said last time that Hurky didn't own KH and if she did, KH2 would be out in December and not in March.
Disclaimer: Quiet you. Now please enjoy the story.
About a few months after Riku found his car, Sora and his family were going to go to spend a few weeks over at the ranch his grandparents owned next to their house over on the other side of the world (Destiny Islands). They were Sora's mother's parents. Sora only had his grandmother on his father's side since Grandpa Hart died of a heart attack just two years earlier. Sora's parents told Sora that he could invite all of his friends. He only got Kairi to come. His other friends, Hurky, Riku, and Ryo, were going to stay on the islands to finish the house Hurky was building on Coconut Drive, where Riku, Kairi, and Ryo also resided.
"Are you sure you guys don't want to come? We've got plenty of room in my mom's car for you guys!" pleaded Sora one day at the building site of Hurky's new house.
"I told you before, Sora," said Riku from the roof where he was using an electrical nail gun. "I've been at your grandparents at least a billion times! I don't need to go again. At least not right now." he said. He put a nail in the plywood. "Besides, remember what happened last time I went?"
Sora and Kairi snickered. The last time Riku went with Sora to his grandparents, was right before the whole KH1 ordeal, Riku went totally dude ranch crazy and walked, talked, and even dressed like a cowboy. He signed up for the rodeo and lost it miserably because he was just an island boy who was no match for guys who have lived on ranches all their lives. Then Riku told Sora and Kairi to never bring it up again. If they did, Riku said he'd sell Sora's pet rooster, Mr. Whiskers to KFC to be slaughtered and made into fried chicken and he'd take Kairi's stuffed chocobo that she had received for her fifth birthday and run it over with a lawnmower.
"Then if you're staying here," said Sora. "Can you take Mr. Whiskers and keep an eye on him for a few days?"
"You mean that stupid rooster that likes to crow at the crack of dawn?" joked Riku.
Sora gave Riku a dirty look.
"Hey, chill!" said Riku. "Listen, I'll look after Whiskers but you have to lend me Gran Turismo 4!"
"Alright." said Sora. "I'll bring Whiskers tomorrow morning."
"T-tomorrow?" stammered Riku.
"Yeah, we're leaving tomorrow." repeated Sora. "But we'll be back next Saturday."
"Fine!" said Riku. "But you have to fork over Gran Turismo 4!"
"I'll bring that along with Whiskers! Don't worry!" reassured Sora.
Sora and Kairi walked off and Hurky turned to Riku.
"You don't know anything about taking care of a rooster, do you?" asked Hurky from downstairs.
"I've watched Sora take care of Whiskers. How hard could it be?" asked Riku.
The next morning, Sora dropped Mr. Whiskers off at Riku's house, along with some food, and instructed Riku when to feed him and to let him wander around the backyard as much as possible.
"Wander around the backyard?" asked Riku.
"It's easy!" said Sora. "Just let him out like you would with a dog. And I normally let Whiskers wander around my backyard all the time, unless it's raining."
It was true. Every time Riku went to Sora's house and went into his backyard, Whiskers was usually found wandering around, clucking and doing what other chickens do.
Before Sora left, he gave Riku the video game and then he finally left. Right after Sora closed the door, Riku sat on his couch and watched the rooster cluck around and cock his head.
"Why doesn't Sora get a normal pet?" Riku asked himself.
When Sora's Pekingese dog, Senor Fluffy Butt died, Sora wouldn't come out of his room for a week except for the poor dog's funeral. He and Kairi tried to get him to come out, but Sora refused. He finally did come out when his mother said that he could go out and get another pet. Sora didn't want another dog because he would just have a repeat of having another dog dying, and his father was allergic to cats. He thought a fish was extremely boring and lizards grossed him out. He didn't like hamsters, either, because they just went and got lost easily. He knew that after watching his older brother lose several hamsters as a kid. Sora was about to give up on getting another pet until one day, when he was walking by a chicken farm and a farmer kicked a young rooster out of his farm, yelling "Aaanndddd stay out, ya good for nothing rooster!" Sora ran to the rooster, took it home, and got his parents' approval to keep it. He decided to name him Mr. Whiskers just out of the clear blue. Riku thought it was stupid. Stupider than Sora's own name. Sora had mixed feelings about his first name. He liked the way it sounded, but he hated the fact that a lot of people considered it as a girl's name. His mother would have named him Skye, but then her sister had a baby two weeks before Sora was born and named him Skye, so Sora's mother had to pick something else, so she went with Sora, which was another name for Skye.
Riku picked up the remote and turned on the TV. He channel surfed until there was a knock on the door. Riku got up to go get it. He opened the door and someone tackled him to the floor and hugged him at the same time.
"RIKU!" squealed a voice.
"AHHHH!" screamed Riku. "Get it off me, get it off me!"
"Riku!" said another voice. "Ryo is not an 'it!' She's a person just like you and me!"
Riku looked up and saw Hurky, standing in the doorway with her hands on her hips. Riku shook Ryo off of him, stood up, and dusted himself off. "Sorry, Hurk." he said.
"So, Sora dropped Whiskers off, huh?" asked Hurky, studying the room and looking for the rooster.
"Yeah. That thing hasn't even been here for thirty minutes and it'salready gettingon my nerves." replied Riku. "He does the cock-a-doodle-doo thing at five in the morning. I know, because I've spent nights at Sora's house and that thing is loud in the morning."
Right then, Whiskers walked in, clucking and all.
"How does Sora deal with a rooster?" asked Hurky. "You think he's a little strange for having a rooster as a pet?"
"Not really." said Ryo. "I once had a neighbor who had a possum but thought it was a dog. Every single day, he'd tie it up on a leash and walk it around."
"Are you sure he wasn't blind?" asked Hurky.
"No. He was justcrazy." said Ryo. "After the insane asylum took him away, they also took the possum and no one ever saw it again. It turns out the Zoge Shinzo called them because he was sick of seeing that stupid possum being carted around."
"Weird!" said Riku.
"Be glad that Sora doesn't have a pet possum that he ties to a leash." Hurky pointed out.
The day passed uneventfully. Hurky and Ryo went to go work on Hurky's house again, and Riku had to stay with Whiskers. He let him loose in the backyard and watched him eat the chicken feed Sora had brought. Then, that night, Riku was helping his mother with dinner.
"Riku, I have a task for you." said Mrs. Thompson as she put on oven mitts and looked into the oven at the lasagna. "Can you go to the garage and get some sodas from the fridge?"
"Sure." replied Riku. He got up from the chair he was sitting on and went to the garage that was attached to the house. He opened the door, walked in, and went to the fridge. The garage was very dark, and the light was broken, so it made everything crrepy and dark. He opened it, got three sodas, since it was only going to be him and his parents, and closed the fridge. He was about to walk out when he heard a weird sound. It sounded like a bird. There was only one way to find out.
"Who's there?" demanded Riku.
The bird made the sound again.
Riku put the sodas down on his dad's workbench and took out his Soul Eater. He crept over to where the sound was coming from, which was over by his mom's SUV. No bird here. Suddenly, there was a crashing sound. Riku immediately turned around and saw that it was a box, which was toppled over on its side. It was marked "Riku and Ryan's baby stuff." Ryan, or Rep, was Riku's evil twin brother who was off in boarding school. He caused a lot of catastrophe when he was around. Everything was better off with him gone. A moogle plushy fell over on its stomach.
"Hey, there's Rep's moogle plushy!" said Riku, bending down to pick up the stuffed toy. He himself had one since he and his twin were born, but he kept it in his room and still slept with it at night. It was named Mr. Moogy. Rep never named his. He just called it "The Moogle Toy." when he was a kid and stopped sleeping with it when he was only six.
Suddenly, something attacked him and pecked at his legs.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" screamed Riku as he dropped his Soul Eater and ran out of the garage.
Hurky: Sorry to leave you guys in a cliffie on the first chapter. What was that thing? Find out when I update this again!
Mr. Whiskers: COCK-A-DOODLE-DOOOOOO!
Sora: MR. WHISKERS! WOOT!
Kairi: You're weird.
Riku: By the way, Mr. Whiskers the rooster is not to be confused with Mr. Whiskers the rabbit from Brandy and Mr. Whiskers. Hurky's brother's friend had a rooster whom he named Mr. Whiskers, which inspired her to give Sora a pet rooster.
Hurky: Later, everyone!
