Chapter 4: Learning about Pepe!
"Ah, but I love you, and you and I were destined to be together! MWAH! MWAH! MWAH!" When I opened my eyes, I found that I was somehow lifted in the air, and when I looked around, I saw that Pepe was holding me up in the air, constantly giving me so much kisses and hugs, it was as if I was a stuffed animal!
"What are you doing in here? PEPE!" I exclaimed at him in intense anger. I was very mad. I didn't even know why I was mad, the only thing that I could know about was that I was not happy about being woken up from my nap by a ton of kisses!
Slipping out of Pepe's arms, I held my paw out in front of him, trying to block him from grabbing me again.
"How on earth did you break into the room...? I was happy in this room, and you didn't have to enter this room to love me. I had enough last night!" Trying to be stern with Pepe, he managed to stop in front of my hand, finally realizing his mistake.
"Oh but of course! I told you I am zee locksmith of love, right? I have the guest bedroom key in case of emergency. You never know when you may need it! But I felt lonely alone in my bedroom, and when I realized that you weren't drying off anymore, I decided to remind you. I guess it's possible to be too attractive!" Pepe was giving me the charm he always did in his response, which slightly made me less angry at my sudden awakening. Looking around the guest bedroom, I saw no light coming from the windows, which made me worry.
"What time is it?" That was the question I wanted to get an answer to. Pepe looked at the clock on the wall and gave me an answer.
"3:00 AM! What a perfect time to sleep together, no?" Pepe slowly moved his lips toward me, trying to kiss me, only for me to give him a punch in the head.
"Never mess with me when I have my catnap! Now what will I do until the sun rises?" I was hopeless, seeing how I did not want Pepe to kiss me until the sun rose, I guessed maybe a movie would do.
"I do have some tapes of my childhood, remember? You shall fall asleep from laughter!" Pepe was right! Those tapes he was watching when I came home from the store could help me learn more about him. Giving a nod, Pepe and I moved to the next room. Pepe approached the television and turned it on, hitting a button. As I crawled into Pepe's bed, Pepe laid next to me as the cassette tape started to load.
"Zhis is about two years ago. It was when I met a beautiful femme skunk at the zoo! But as you will see, it didn't work out well..." As Pepe was hugging me in the bed, the TV finally loaded the tape, beginning with a scene where a gorgeous female skunk was sleeping peacefully in the fields.
Seems like an ordinary day.
But then that was when I noticed a strange thing: The skunk was a cat! Just like me, it must have gotten a white stripe on it's back somehow, but it didn't seem to care. It was just sleeping without a care in the world.
And that was when Pepe made a stink in the scene. Pepe came out from behind the cat, and held her right in front of his face, causing the cat to wake up.
"Guess who? It is moi! Pepe! And I am your bride, no?" Pepe's comment seemed to be what scared that cat, as the cat unsheathed her claws and scratched his face to get out of his reach. Not bothered, Pepe stared at the cat, still lovestruck with the cat.
"It's funny, cherie. Watching zhis and realizing you are also a kitty, makes me wonder if this encounter made our destiny, no?" Pepe seemed to have a good point in his little commentary, maybe this meeting that was being showed on the tape really did let Pepe show more interest in me!
The scene on the TV then changed, showing Pepe chasing the cat into a balloon, where Pepe cut the ropes on the balloon, raising it into the sky with the two trapped in the balloon. Pepe held the cat under his neck, where he gave her kisses as the balloon kept getting higher and higher. The cat couldn't seem to talk due to the intense situation going on, but words didn't need to cover her situation. She squealed as soon as Pepe gave her a very tight hug, holding her nose and jumping out of the balloon, leaving Pepe all alone in it.
And then the tape stopped.
"What happened after that?" I seemed confused at the sudden ending to the tape, as Pepe was right here next to me, clearly he did not get lost as he was right beside me!
"Well, after zhat I gave up hope for a potential cheire. I managed to lower zee balloon to safety. I never did see the cat again, but after seeing you, I don't want to. You are my true love!" Pepe gave me a hug, satisfying me.
"Could I perhaps see another tape?" I didn't feel like going asleep, and I wanted to learn more about Pepe! But he just shook his head.
"No. I am sleepy tonight, and you are, no? Good night..." Pepe just abruptly fell asleep for no reason, instantly becoming more and more asleep by the seconds.
I guess even Pepe can't stay awake at this time!
Closing my eyes, I managed to gain the strength to fall asleep, holding Pepe right beside me...
It may seem confusing to some people, with all of this dialogue. But don't worry! In the next chapter, the true plot will be revealed!
