"Oh man... Now what do we do?" He began whining: "It's raining outside so we can't go hang out; we're already bored of the video games; it's a Saturday so not much on TV; your mom's gone out so she can't drive us anywhere..." Jun smacked his head and lay down on his still-laid-out futon. "Ugh..."
Suddenly, they heard a low scratching sound at the door. Yousuke went to open it and found his dog, KK, looking up at him. "KK! You're back!" he exclaimed, and hugged her.
Jun rolled over. "Hey, missy dog, how ya been? Where were you yesterday?" He asked the questions as if the dog was going to actually answer back.
"KK went to Grandma S' house. Mom sent her there because there's been something wrong with KK lately and we don't know what it is."
"Aha. Your grandma's a spiritualist, isn't she?"
"Yeah."
"Quite famous, that old lady," Jun said, thoughtfully. Then, he asked, "Did she say anything?"
Yousuke looked at KK and found something white in the little pouch that the dog loved to carry around. He opened it and took it out; it was a letter from his grandma. The letter contained only a few words (as Grandma S always seemed to have): "There is an inner dog."
Jun, who was sitting by Yousuke's side now, looked at it and said, "That doesn't explain much." He eyed KK. "Is she pregnant?"
"That's unlikely. Most of the dogs around the neighborhood are females." Yousuke rolled his eyes when Jun made a face. "Don't get weird ideas." KK barked in agreement. "Anyway, the vet would have told me so when we took her for a checkup last week."
"What did the vet say?"
"... He's got no idea what she has."
"So it's a disease?"
"That's what we think. But we can't seem to find a cure anywhere..."
"... Even in Italy?"
Yousuke stared at Jun, who stared back at him. Yousuke then looked at KK and ruffled her ears. "He sent a letter a few days ago stating that no one there knew anything either."
"I see..."
o o o
"SHIT! I'M SO FRIGGIN' BORED!" yelled Jun.
"Sorry."
"Geez, man, you gotta stop apologizing for things you don't need to apologize for."
"Sorry."
"..."
Yousuke continued examining his dog (out of boredom) and let the silence flow back and forth in the air. Suddenly, he heard Jun talking to himself:
"Hey yo, wassup doc? Hey yo, wassup man? How you feeling man? I'm feeling fine, yo. Whaddabout you, man? You good? Yeah, definitely, man. I feel like there's pigs flying in the sky and cows are jumping over the moon and-"
"Jun."
"Hum?" Jun looked tiredly over at his friend, whose hands were half in and half out of KK's mouth.
"Are you... sick or something?"
"I'm fine!" He forced a laugh. "How 'bout you? Did you find anything?"
"Nothing that the vet didn't show me..."
They both sighed.
All of sudden, the loud ring of the phone went off. It was so loud, they jumped in their seats. Jun ran to get it since KK had accidentally bit down on Yousuke's fingers when the phone rang.
"Hello? Uh... really? Great, man. No. No. I said 'no', man. Give it up. What? No! Chill out! I said 'no' and so the answer is 'no'!" He slammed the phone down and frowned.
"Who was it?"
Jun walked back to his seat on the bed. "No one, really. Just some random 'Congratulations! You're a winner!' man."
"I see."
"He was asking for your address so he could send the prize money. Really persistent guy. Haa. What a laugh."
"Yup."
But neither of them laughed. Jun resumed staring at the drops of rain collide into each other and slide down the window pane, and Yousuke continued examining KK after he bandaged his fingers.
And then, as sudden as the phone call before, Jun jumped up and said, "I got an idea!"
This time, Yousuke's hands weren't in KK's mouth. He turned to look at his friend and asked, "What for?"
"To get rid of our boredom."
"... What is it?"
Jun grinned from ear to ear. "Let's do a prank call."
o o o
"Are you sure about this?" asked Yousuke as Jun dialed a random number on the phone.
"Sure! Why not?"
"I don't know. It seems... I don't know... weird..." He looked on as Jun continued pressing numbers. "Are you sure that's a real number? I don't know any that starts with XXX..."
"Doesn't matter; it's part of the fun. And you know what'll be more fun?"
"What?"
"You'll do the talking!"
Yousuke jumped back and for some reason, lowered to a whisper: "Are you crazy?"
Jun copied him and whispered back, "I might be. Who knows?" And he handed the phone to the already-panicking teenager who pushed it away. Jun tried to hand him him the phone again but Yousuke pushed it away again. They did this for a few minutes when a voice from the other line asked, "Hello?"
And it begins! Again. Lol.
