Chapter 4
Mikey's P.O.V
I had been asleep on the couch after watching Night at the Museam 2, when I heard Bunya barging in from the lair entrance. She had surprised me so bad that I literally jumped and fell out of the couch. I groaned a bit before propping myself up on the palms of my hands and knees; looking up at her, feeling a bit exasperated. "Yo, dudette, whatcha doin'?" I asked her. She was breathing hard, like she had been running from a glob monster for dear life, and only glanced at me once before, uh, wow. She bounded away to where Kat slept. Never thought I'd see her actually do THAT in my lifetime.
So, my natural curiousity got the best of me and I followed her. Using my mad ninja skills to be as quiet as possible. I finally got close enough to listen but not get caught, and what I heard wasn't exactly what I was thinking would be said. "…Katherine! We have to go back and help them!"
"No. We don't." Kat's voice was low and getting close to threatening.
"But it's Bowen! And others! They're our friends! Why don't you want to go!" Bunya's voice raised a little bit higher.
"We came here so that we could get away from that mess. We promised that after we left we'd forget about everything we left behind except for things we cared about. Remember?"
Bunya's voice also lowered to a cool level when she spoke next. I felt other presences behind me; glancing back I saw my brothers also curiously looking over my shoulder after being awoken from the yelling. "Yeah, I remember. And I didn't forget what was important either. I can't believe you. So, not even Bowen was important to you? Even though he played a huge role in helping you escape from the life you hated so much?" Bunya narrowed her eyes as her ears pulled back a bit to show her contempt. " I never thought you were so cold."
"Bunya-" Katherine started, but Bunya lifted her left hand at eye level to block Katherines view of her face. She turned her head to the side disappointment and sadness deep in her eyes.
"I'm going after I fix the ship up Kat. With or without you. Even if you don't care, my family and Bowen are in the midst of the war on our planet." With that I couldn't help but be stunned and frozen in place as Bunya completely turned her back on Kat and nearly marched slash sprint out of the room and into the 'garage'. I turned to look at my bro's and saw that their postures and faces pretty much physically personified what I am feeling right now. I started when Katherine smoothly and silently walked out of the room and headed to the dojo, completely ignoring us just as Bunya had.
My brothers and I all stood there for a moment, stunned. I looked towards Leo as I heard him sigh and saw that he had two fingers holding the bridge of his beak with his head slightly down. One arm propped up on top of the other; which was crossed over his chest. "Now what?" I asked out loud to no one in particular.
"I…guess I should go see if Bunya needs any, uh, help with ship." I heard Donny say as he slowly made his way towards the garage, leaving the rest of us to try and figure out what to do to distract ourselves after hearing what we just heard.
