*BENSON WALKS BY AND HEARS EVERYTHING*
"Morning, Little Kitty!" Benson said cheerfully walking in the room with a tray in his hands. Kairo sat up and groggily rubbed her bandaged back.
"Why does everyone keep calling me that? Is it like a a pet name here or something?" She asked positioning herself so she wouldn't irritate any of her already sore body.
"Well, you you have cat ears and a tail, so I just assumed that's what you were. Sorry if I'm wrong."
"Wait, what?" She shouted placing her hands right on top of her fuzzy warm ears. "Haha! Good one, dad... Now where did you put my contacts? Hey, can you go wake up Rowan? I'm too tired to do it today, your turn." Kairo chuckled relaxing.
"Okay, I'm not your dad. I'm Benson, and your contacts are in the cup on the nightstand. You want breakfast before you go to work? Last night Rowan said that a sausage, egg, cheese McGriddle, chocolate milk, hashbrowns, and orange juice is your favorite." he said setting the Mcdonald's bag on the nightstand and handing Kairo the paper cup containing her contacts.
"So, last night wasn't just some crazy fucked up dream after falling down a flight of stairs?" She Asked putting in her contacts.
"No... Why are you so surprised about the cat ears thing? I mean it's not too terribly common here, but every once in a while with a trans-species couple they have a kid with features from both of them, so I'm kind of used to it.."
"I'm a human! My mom was human and so was my dad! I didn't know I had cat ears until just now!" She shouted at the confused gumball machine as he placed the warm McDonald's bag in her lap before sitting next to her on the soft bed."I'm not hungry." She lied giving the bag back to Benson. The truth appeared before them as her stomach made itself known by releasing a low growl.
"Haha, yeah... Right..." Benson sarcasically laughed. "Eat up. I expect you to be showered, dressed, and FULL in 45 minutes. Be prepared to work. Someone will bring your crutches up in a bit." He said leaving the room.
"Hey, dude! Come on, man! It's time to get up! Benson is going to drop his ballsif I don't get you up!" Mordecai pathetically attempted to wake Rowan from her heavy slumber. Then he remembered what Kairo told him not five minutes earlier when he brought her the crutches.
'Just tell her that you have McDonalds. It gets her up every time...'
"Oh Rowan..." He said in a sing-songy voice. "I've got McDonald's for you..." She instantly sat up and snatched the bag from him.
"OH MY GOD! Shit! I forgot about last night! What the fuck is all over me?" She asked unwrapping her breakfast and touching her bandages.
"You have on an eyepatch, your head is bandaged, your arm is in a sling, and your side is bandaged. Don't touch it. Skips says you shouldn't take it off until he says. You get to work with Pops today and Kairo is working with me and Rigby." He said stealing a hashbrown from Rowan. "Skips said he'll be up in a bit to check on you and re-bandage you."
"What the fuck is going on, Skips?" Benson slammed the kitchen sable as he sat across from the white yetti. "Their reactions to us, not knowing what their real age is, hell, they do't even know what species they are!" The stressed gumball machine took his first sip of coffee of the morning and relaxed a bit.
"The answer is simple, Benson. They aren't from here... The paper says that there was a strange aurora last night over the park, but that is not an aurora. That is a multi-dimentional tear, and the extreme conditions that they experienced seems to have caused an incomplete bodily transformation. Also, during the transformation their age accelerated by about 6 years." Skips informed Benson, all while not once looking up from the morning paper.
"Now in english please..."
"Let me give it to you straight, where they're from gumball machines are inanimate and cannot talk, yeti are mythical creatures, blue jays grow to be no taller than 8 inches, and racoons are wild animals. Everything they've learned to be fact in our world is a lie." Skips simplified as he set his papre on the table.
"Wow..." Benson sighed slumping back in his chair. "So, how old are they here?" He asked.
"My estamate is that Kairo is... 22. Which makes Rowan 21."
