"Saturday Morning Cartoons"


"Get up! Get up!" Misty tugged impatiently at Gary's sleeves.
He groaned and rolled over. "It's seven-thirty," he mumbled, "on a Saturday! Misty..."
"Get up," she insisted. "Don't you want to watch cartoons?"
"Cartoons?" Gary echoed. He rolled onto his back and realized her face wasn't two inches from his. "Cartoons? Misty..."
There was something challenging about the smile that suddenly broke across her face. "What?" she demanded.
"Misty, we're too old for cartoons! We're adults! We're..."
"...We're both off work Saturdays," she giggled, "so we can do what we want."
"I want to sleep till noon." He rolled over again.
"No, you don't.
Gary could hardly believe his ears, but he didn't roll over and he didn't say so. He just mumbled into his pillow, "Yes, I do."
"No, you don't."
"Yes, I do."
"You don't!"
"I do!"
"No, you don't!" Misty shook him until he was, somehow, lying on his back again. "You want to get up and watch cartoons with me," she insisted.
Gary was beginning to realize that ultimately, he wasn't going to get his way. Still...he was determined to resist her as long as he could.
Which wasn't going to be very much longer. She shook him again. "Please," she whined, switching tactics slightly. "Pleeease, Gary."
"Misty..."
She pouted. He squeezed his eyes shut and tried to roll over; she tugged, yanked, and smacked him. "Get up!" she ordered, reverting back to her less-gentle approach to getting what she wanted.
"All right! All right! ALL RIGHT!" Gary finally consented, stumbling out of bed. "Just let me get dressed..."
Misty interrupted, "You don't need to. I'm not," gesturing to her body, still clad in an ankle-length blue nightgown that Gary had always insisted was 'for children.' He personally thought she'd look better in something sexier...like lingerie, maybe. Red. Or black. Or heck, nothing at all. He'd heard of several women that slept in the buff.
He'd mentioned this to her on numerous occasions, every time resulting in a fight and, ultimately, a blow to his head. "And how, Gary Oak," she'd demanded once, hands on hips, "do you know about other women sleeping naked?"
"Girls gossip," he'd explained, "so do men. They just gossip about...different things." Instead of being his ladder out of the hole, however, that had just dug him in deeper.
Bearing that incident in mind, he figured it was probably best to do what she said. Besides, how could you say 'no' to a girl with eyes like hers?
Still...he wasn't walking around in his living room in an old, stained T-shirt and plaid boxers. The whole neighborhood did not need to know what he looked like before he got dressed.
Then again, Misty had a point. Why get dressed just to watch cartoons? He looked down, giving himself a once-over. Well, he didn't look that bad...
Wait. What was he thinking? He was Gary Oak. He always looked great!
Except at seven-thirty on Saturday morning...
Misty seemed to possess the ability to read minds. "Don't worry so much," she chided. "Nobody's going to see you. I think the neighbors have better things to do than look in our windows." Sensing that she now completely had the upper hand, she stood up. "Togetic's asleep, so it won't even interrupt us." He heard he going downstairs. A few minutes later, and there was noise. Voices. The television.
Gary sighed. 'Togetic's asleep.' He contemplated that. 'Won't interrupt us.' He followed her down the stairs.
"Misty! You know what? As long as we're on this 'do whatever's fun' kick..."
The neighbors sure as heck would *not* have anything better to do than look in their window *this* morning.
