Yaaay chapter two is here! :D Thanks to Silver Tsuki Hime, squigglestheredpanda, and HeartOfNewCastle for reviewing the first time! (Seriously, I checked the reviews today. The computer showed one new review and I about had a heart attack of joy…) Enough procrastinating! *hands Elliot a broom and dustpan* Let's do this! Oh, and I own nothing except a yo-yo, but that's irrelevant.
Elliot walked into the storage room. Oh crap. This place is a freaking mess! His shoulders slumped in despair when he beheld the room: Books all over the place, unidentifiable doodads, endless piles of scrap papers, and a beat up old hat that looked suspiciously like the one Elliot got Blood for Christmas. Everything was covered in a thick layer of dust. How was the poor not-rabbit going to clean all of this up?
He decided to start by putting the books back on their shelves. After lifting a particularly dusty textbook titled The Art of Hat making: We're bringing top hats back!, Elliot found something he didn't expect to find: a blue yo-yo with a gold letter E engraved on both sides. What's this? A yo-yo? The March Hare decided he could use a break and try out his newfound entertainment. When he was a child, he was a pro at yo-yoing. All of his friends were jealous of his mad yo-yo skillz. Warming up, he did a simple walk-the-dog, but the yo-yo proved that you can't teach an old dog new tricks; it split right in two! Uh-oh. I'll just throw it away later…, he thought to himself as he shoved the broken toy in his pocket.
"Elliot, stop slacking off. You've still got tons of stuff to clean," came his boss's smug voice from the doorway. Elliot spun around.
"Oh, Blood! You startled me," said Elliot. "Hey, I had a random thought: do you like yo-yos, by any chance?" Blood's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Are you kidding? I LOVE yo-yos! In fact, I lost my favorite yo-yo a few years ago. My old friend Earl gave it to me when I was a child. It was blue, his favorite color.." Elliot gulped. Oh. Holy. Crap. If he finds out that I broke his prized yo-yo on top of eating his sandwich, I might as well be dead! In fact, it might be better if I was.
"Uh, Blood?" Elliot weakly moaned, "I just remembered that I had to go… uh… do something! I'll finish cleaning the storage room later okay? Gotta go!" With that, he dashed down the hallway, leaving a confused and irritated Blood in his wake. He needed to find some superglue. NOW.
"Master Elliot? What's wrong?" A faceless maid wondered.
"Do you know where any superglue is?"
"If I were you, I'd check the supply closet. We have just about everything there," the maid laughed.
"Thanks!" Elliot ran for the supply closet and slammed open the door. There were mops, brooms, hammers, a rake, and even a kitchen sink, but there was no superglue! Suddenly, an idea came to his mind. Superglue is good for fixing things, so maybe Julius would have some! Gah! I sure hope I'm right.
*sniff* It's a short chapter… No me gusta! I really hope I spelled that right… oh well! What do you think? Will Julius have superglue? Will Blood find out about the yo-yo? Why am I asking you? Reviewing is good, so please, I'm begging you, TELL ME YOUR THOUGHTS! I don't care if you like it or not, criticism doesn't scare me! Bring it on! Well, I have to go, so… bye-bye!
