Chapter 36: Is Everyone In The Middle-Verse This Weird?

"My word," Jake thought as he was trying to sleep in one of the guest rooms, "how can one thing snore so loud?"

From Billy's room there was a loud, buzz-saw like snoring that the whole house was able to hear.

"Someone please find some way to shut him up," Wilder growled on the couch, "or I'm tempted to kill myself."

All of them heard the clacking of nails on the floor, then a leaping sound, a switch being flicked, a thump of something hitting the ground, then the toenails clacking off again. A gigantic steel door covered Billy's room's door, silencing all the snores.

"Thank you," all four of them said at the same time.

'Must've been one of his pets he talked about,' Brian thought, then he drifted into peaceful, dreamless sleep.

The next day, Brian woke up smelling something delicious.

He walked into the kitchen area and a Hylian was cooking bacon (Author's Note: Who doesn't like bacon besides vegetarians?).

"Are you one of Billy's friends?" Brian asked

The Hylian turned around, and it was Billy. He saw Brian's surprise and said, "this just happens every once in while, because of the curse, my human form changes races.

"Let me get this straight," Brian said, just realizing something, "you can cook, too?"

"I have a lot of time on my hands and when you're a traveler, or a warrior, it helps to know how to cook." Billy replied.

Everyone slowly woke up. "So," Billy said during breakfast, "did you seal my door shut?"

"No," they all replied.

"Probably Torch," Billy said, "he's one of my pets. Well, Omega, shall we get on with your training?"

"I'd like to see your methods," Wilder said, "can I come to watch?"

"Sure, if it's okay with Omega," Billy said, and Brian nodded.

"I've gotta see this," Daniel said, "I'm coming too."

"I'd also like to watch this," said Jake.

A few hours later...

"Whoa, Brian," Daniel said, "how could you get that good that fast?"

Brian shrugged, "it just sort of... popped into my head."

All conversation after that was interrupted by a loud thud from where Billy was, and there was a woman who was on top of him. She said with a high, excited voice, "gotcha, gotcha, GOTCHA!!!"

"Get off me," Billy growled, and the woman listened to him. "You just wait, I'll get you next time."

Then Brian noticed the woman was very strange looking. She had large, cat-like ears on where a cat's ears would go, and a tail, and her hands and feet looked somewhat like a cross between paws and hands. Her brown eyes with black slits were definitely not human, her dark skin actually had black stripes on parts of it, she was wearing something a warrior would wear, and she had a bell on a necklace around her neck (Author's Note: Classic anime cat lady).

"Well," the woman said, carelessly flicking the bell on her necklace back and forth, "aren't you going to introduce me to your new friends?"

"Oh, yeah," Billy said, "guys, this is my best friend, Leo."

They all introduced themselves to her. "Omega's my student," Billy said in a bragging tone, "and he's doing better than I'd have ever thought possible, even better than you."

"Oh, really?" Leo said, smiling, "perhaps we should test his skills, Billy."

"He's not a dead warrior like you, Leo," Billy said, "but if Omega agrees, I guess it's fine, as long as you DON'T KILL HIM."

"Then I change my mind." Leo said, looking like she'd just had cat-nip taken away from her.

"Fine," Billy said, frowning, "but I would've liked to see him battle someone but me, for his training, of course."

"Fine," Leo said, smiling again, "but only if Omega agrees."

Omega agreed to this, and before they were about to fight, Billy pulled him aside. "Now be careful, Omega," he said warningly, "she's incredibly fast. Faster than me, but there are other ways to win."

"Thanks for the tip," Brian said, "I'll do my best."

"Good." Billy said, "now get ready for the fight."

And I have to get ready to write the fight. So long for now!
