My Pet
Chapter 2- a few tricks…
A month passed since Dad gave me the Seze, who had a slight growth spurt. Now being the size of an adult cat, Seze followed me everywhere, even to my lab. One day, I was in the garden examining some of Larry's plants when Seze came and was about to urinate one of them. I pulled him back
-Seze, no! - I scolded him
However, he suddenly stepped back and looked afraid, it made me feel guilty. Larry came and looked at Seze.
-hey, bro. have you taught him any tricks? –he asked me
-err… no, I haven't- I answered
-well, you should. I heard it makes them smarter; I can help you if you want-
-Thanks, but I'm busy right now…-
-don't worry, it won't take long. Just a few minutes…-
Larry stood in front of Seze.
-Seze, sit down…- he ordered
However, Seze didn't appear to understand him and just remained where he was
-hehe, he doesn't know what that means- I said chuckling
-Well, we should get a book- Larry suggested
Ludwig passed by and stopped when he saw Larry was trying to teach Seze tricks
-hey, chain chomps can't sit down, remember? You can only teach them how to fetch a stick- he said
I noticed there was a stick in the ground and picked it up, Seze suddenly started to hop around me. I threw the stick and Seze went after it.
-see? He should bring it back in a while- Ludwig said
-Are you sure chain chomps only can fetch sticks? -Larry asked Ludwig
Ys, I once tried to teach a trick to Goomba's chain chomp, but it didn't work- Ludwig answered
I wasn't listening, I got an idea. Chain chomps fetch sticks… wouldn't they be excellent trackers? I thought for a moment, it might work. Seze came back and placed the stick in front of my feet, and then he wagged his chain slightly. I chuckled ad picked him up, then I caressed his back gently. Seze cradled in my arms and fell asleep.
-Aww… he loves you- Larry said
Wendy suddenly came storming
-if you think I'm jealous, you're wrong! I'm going to get a pet, and it will be better than yours! - She almost yelled in my ear as she walked to the forest. Ludwig laughed
-ha, I'd like to see her trying to catch a wild animal. I bet she will end up with her ribbon shredded to pieces- he said
-Well, I bet she will end up in a mud puddle! - Larry said excited
-in three, two, one…- I counted down
-AAAHHH!!!- Wendy screamed as she came running and passed by without even stopping. –There's a nasty spider there!-
-See, I told you! - I said smiling
Seze woke up and sniffed around. Then he ran to the bushes.
-Seze, come back here! - I yelled him
After a while, Seze returned. However, he had a dead rabbit in his mouth. We froze, thinking were he could have gotten a rabbit so fast and feared he answer.
-Is that one of Roy's rabbits…? - Larry asked trembling
-Let's hope no…- Ludwig answered trembling also
Seze came next to me and placed the rabbit just in front of me, I could only smile trembling as I picked Seze up.
-guys... I'm afraid Seze just learned a new trick…- I said
-what? Kill Roy's rabbits? -Ludwig asked me
-No… track down his prey- I answered as a malicious grin appeared in my face
-Oh, no…- Larry said –I know that grin… what are you up to now?-
-you will see...- I answered as I walked away holding Seze in my arms.
