Chapter 14: I'm A Real Boy

The following is based on Pinocchio. Chapter 15 will be the second part of the story.

Robbie was saying his prayers for the night on his knees as he had his hands together on his bed.

".. and bless grandma and Rex." Robbie said looking over at Rex. "Amen." He said as he got off his knees and walked over to Rex. "Oh Rex, why could we not really be brothers?" He asked as he looked towards the stars. He would start to sing "When You Wish Upon A Star" he would sigh as he finished and got in bed. Little did he know… something magical was going to happen. "Good morning Rex." Robbie said as he woke from his slumber.

"Morning Rob." A British voice said back. Robbie would stop and look over as he screamed. "It's not nice to yell you know."

"Rex, you can talk!"

"Well of course I can stupid, you wished for me to talk."

"Wait, where are you going?" Robbie asked as Rex got down and tried to walk. "Here let me help you." Robbie said as he thought Rex how to walk. "I can't believe it I finally have a brother!" Robbie said happy wishing upon a star came true.

"Well I'm off to town to pick up some hotties, later Rob." Rex said as he left heading for Hollywood. However he would not get to far as he was stopped by Mr. Vega and his partner.

"Woah son are you okay?" He asked since Rex was walking around alone and not knowing Rex's age he thought he was a child.

"Yes I'm going to go look for some hotties?" Mr. Vega and his partner laughed.

"Hotties, what are you six or seven where are your parents?" The partner asked as Rex shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know but my brother Rob is home."

"Okay son, now run along to your friends." Mr. Vega and his partner said as they headed to Robbie's house. Little did Rex know that Robbie would be locked up for abandoning a child. Rex who had no luck finding "hotties" would head on home unto he found a tiny Cat sitting on his couch.

"That was not very nice." She said with her arms folded.

"What are you talking about?" Rex asked.

"Taking off on Robbie like that, he is your brother now. You should have asked him to come along with you."

Rex would just laugh. "Like I'm going to take advise from some ditzy redhead.

"What's that suppose to mean?!" Cat asked angrily before she disappears as Rex shrugged his shoulders. Rex figured if he could not find hotties in town, he go door to door looking for them. Rex would leave his house and start knocking on doors the first was Festus. He would just scream and slam the door in face.

"Well that was uncalled for." He said heading to the next house of Lane's. Lane would answer the door but not see anyone. He would quickly shut it as Rex sighed. "Idiot." He said moving on to the Vega house. He would knock and Mrs. Vega would come to answer. "Woah… not my age or type."

"Is there something I could help you with?"

"Yes I like to speak to your daughter." Rex said as Mrs. Vega screamed up the stairs Tori would come down with a towel on her head.

"Hello sexy, maybe you…"

"Rex, your alive now."

"Mmm yes and I think it would be perfect if you ran off with me to town."

"But I already have a boyfriend Jason remember."

"Ughhh, but he doesn't even look good. Run away with me Tori."

"You do know my dad is a cop right?" Tori said as Rex ran from her door. Having no luck there was one more place he would stop. But as he got there knocking on the door Jason Riley would answer the door.

"So Tori just called… seems you wanted her to run away with you huh?" Jason asked not happy.

"Uhh…" Rex asked as Jason picked Rex up. Jade would walk into the room and spray Rex with a water gun soaking him. Jason would then toss Rex out. Rex now soaked and not getting "hotties" would go home. He would find Robbie there who saw Rex was all soaked.

"See what happens when you're mean to your brother?" Robbie asked as Rex nodded his head. "Come on let's get you some new clothes and some hot chocolate." Robbie said as Rex went upstairs to change as Robbie made him hot chocolate.

"I promise Rob that tomorrow I'll go to school to make you proud of me." Rex said wanting to thank Rob in some way for warming him up. The next day Rex was on his way to school when all of a sudden he saw a huge crowd. "Wonder what's going on over there?" He asked as an outside performance was taking place. It was Shelly doing stand up with Rubby and Trina working as the hype girl.

"So what did you tell him Rubby?"

"Your too tall to ride this ride." Ruby said laughing as she looked out to the crowd. "Hey you, what's your name?"

"Uhh Rex!"

"Rex, isn't that a name of a dog Sehlly." The crowd laughed as Rex was not too happy. "Oh come on sunshine you don't want a doggie biscuit do you?" The crowd was eating it up but not Rex. The show would end as Sinjin came up to you.

"I know you… your Robbie's puppet."

"Puppet? I'm no puppet! I'm a real boy!" Rex said mad as Sinjin would look him over even bending down to sniff him.

"So you are my boy, I'll tell you what.." Sinjin said pulling out some bubble gum. ".. for my mistake here take some gum." Rex would reach out taking it.

As he walked away Rubby would look at Shelly. "What did you ever see in him? It's Robbie who has the nice butt.

Rex who again had no luck after a long day would start to head home when he ran into a bunch of flashing camera's and guys with camera's.

"Hey, what the…" Robbie asked blinding his face from the camera's flashes.

"Oh man this is going to make us money." The main producer for The Wood would say.

"Can you believe we passed on this little guy years ago? What's his name again?"

"Rex."

"So Rex, what you got there?" The African American producer asked.

"Bubble gum."

"Bublle gum, can we have a piece?"

"Well…" Before Rex could answer they would steal his bubble gum. "Give me that back you weird Hollywood producers." The producers not happy would pick Rex up and look for somewhere to put him. They would pants the real boy and hang him up the flag pole. Rex would be up there to the sun went down and the principal of his new school would see him hanging there.

"Boy what are you doing up the flag pole?" Helen would ask.

"Some mean Woods producers would put me up here! Can you get me down?"

"Hold on!" Hellen said as she went and got Luther the janitor to help get Rex down.

"Wait aren't you…. Yes you are, the puppet who that weird kid used to stay in Hollywood Arts."

"I'm not a puppet! I'm a real boy! What don't you people get it! I'm walking, I'm talking and it's all without my brother… ughh, I'm going home." Rex said walking home embarrassed from the flag hanging.

Happy to see I got another favorite. Just wanted to inform everyone when I get to chapter 16 it will be the end of this story. However I do have plans to do follow ups, but I want to try writing for different shows. Anyways keep reviewing and I hope you liked this chapter and are waiting to see how things come along.
