Um, thanks for reading chapter one if you read it. This is chapter two so I
hope that you like it just as well or more than the first one. =]
"Rox!"
"Y-yes, Specter?" asked Rox.
"What is this about Pugs that I am hearing?"
"Well, Specter, um, Pugs is going to live with Spike," replied Rox.
"What?"
"You see, it was either that or we'd all been sent back to the zoo."
"Rox!" shouted Specter. "This is silly! Everyone knows that evil monkeys don't go and live with the good guys!"
"Oops… Um… Sorry… I think that I'll be going now…"
"Spike?" asked Nattily. "You went to Specter's castle, right?"
"Yeah," said Spike.
"Where are all of the monkeys that you caught?"
"Yes, Spike," said the Professor.
"I let them go," said Spike.
"Spike, the world will be unsafe if you do not catch the monkeys. I highly suggest that you go back in there and catch some!"
"Yeah, Spike, the world will be unsafe! You have got to go back in there!"
"I can't," said Spike.
"What do you mean?" asked the Professor.
"I would be breaking a deal. I need to take care of Bananas, anyway."
"Bananas? Why do you need to take care of bananas?"
"No, not bananas, Bananas. He's my new pet. I think that I'll be quitting this "monkey catching" job and go on to grooming monkeys or something."
"My name is not Bananas!" yelled Pugs from inside Spike's backpack. "It's Pugs! P-U-G-S!"
"Sh!" Spike said to Pugs. "Anyway," he said, turning back to the Professor. "Maybe Jake can take over for me. He's always wanted to be as good as me, so I guess that he can do it instead."
"What? Jake is evil, remember?" said Nattily.
"Yes! Spike, you must go back and catch more monkeys! I order you to, this instant!"
"Sorry, it's a free country," said Spike.
"Free country? You're back in time! You probably aren't even in America yet!" shouted the Professor.
"Well, maybe Spike does need a break… I suppose that he could have Jake take over for a while," said Nattily. "Then maybe he'll cut out all of this talk about quitting!"
"Hmm, yes, yes, everyone does need a break at some point… Spike you have my permission to take a break from monkey catching for a while. I suppose that I should telephone Specter and pause the Play Station for now…"
"No, Professor! That will stop the game! Then none of us can move!" said Nattily.
"You're right, Nattily. I'll call Jake and ask him if he'll take over for a while."
"Yes, and then Spike can take his place again!" added Nattily.
"Great!" said Spike. "So I can go now?"
"Yes, sure, Spike," said the Professor, frowning. He turned to Nattily and said, "I still don't think that this is a good idea."
"It's okay. Spike knows what he's doing. This'll work out fine!" said Nattily.
"I sure hope that you're right," said the Professor.
"Rox!"
"Y-yes, Specter?" asked Rox.
"What is this about Pugs that I am hearing?"
