Okee Dokee. I had to re-do this chapter cause it was whacked up O.o;;;;
Sure enough, it was a giant mongoose; well, sorta. It was actually a guy in a costume. "I told you before, that part of my life is over Gus!" Sam yelled defiantly at his hidden face, but only caused him to start guffawing loudly.
"Ahaha! Oh man, you had me goin' there for a second!" he spat out between laughs, infuriating her. "I'm not joking! It was nice for a while, but I nearly killed him! You saw what happened!" The man, supposedly named Gus, stopped his chuckling fit and stared at her through the costumes' mouth.
He started to slowly walk towards her, as she jumped back and went into a fighting stance. "Stay away foul demon!" "Hey!" Sam turned her head and grinned a little, "Not you Pepito," just as she turned her head back around; Gus grabbed her by the waist and picked her up off the ground.
"Aw, come on! Let me coach you again!" he beseeched, "You can rise to the top again! It'll be a snap for you!" "Can someone please tell us what's going on here?" Squee intervened with a usually forceful voice, causing Gus to drop Sam onto the dusty ground.
She picked herself up and shook the dirt off her like a dog. She looked at her two friends bashfully, then cast her eyes toward the ground and kicked it. "Well, you see guys, I used to work at this traveling carnival a while back,"
She paused for a moment to glance up at their bewildered expressions, then continued, "When my mom and dad broke up, we were really poor and stuff, so I decided to get a job. I was too young for the zoo, too short for teaching driving lessons, and too wild to be a psychiatrist."
Gus folded his furry arms over his chest while he listened. "But then I saw an ad in the paper for a," she put her head in her head and said shamefully, "midget wrestler/fighter/boxer."
She was mildly surprised that neither Pepito nor Squee laughed, but they did make weird faces. "Well, they said I was too young, but when I showed them my skills, they hired me like that!" "Yep, and I was her manager!" Gus cut in, a small growl emitting from Sam's throat.
"I traveled all over the countryside with the carnival, and soon I was known as Sam the Damned, cause I fought like a possessed ape when I was mad! So for my outfit, I was dressed as a little monkey." She snickered at the memories of herself in her monkey suit, chattering and acting like one.
"I fought everyone from Jimmy Junior, to Wittle Wesley, to a kangaroo with boxing gloves on! Man, have you guys ever fought a kangaroo?!" everyone stayed silent, awkwardly scratching themselves as Sam went into crazy-mode.
"Oh man! So there I was, just me and the kangaroo in the ring! He swung at me," she got into a fighting stance and punched the air, then jumped up and onto the countertop of a ring toss stand, "but I jumped out of the way and onto a pole!"
She started to giggle insanely as she resumed, "Then, I elbowed him, POW! Right on his head!" She leapt into the air and rammed her elbow into the nearest persons' cranium; the poor man then ran away screaming, blood spewing from his head like a fountain.
"He dropped to the ground. They were about to declare me the winner, when the kangaroo got up and kicked me right in the stomach! OOF!" she flew backwards and clutched her torso, pretending that she had been hit.
"But he sent me into the springy rope-things and boing! I rocketed right back to him and BAM! I head-butted him right in the face! He fell outta the ring, and VICTORY WAS MINE!!!" She laughed uncontrollably and her eyes were unfocused, making her look like grade-A material for the nut house.
She calmed down and caught her breath. "I became the champion. I stayed at the top for a long time, but I could see my mom didn't like watching me fight, cause she worries when I get hurt, and she didn't like traveling everywhere."
She glared at the mongoose-man; "Gus became a greedy slob. He started making millions off my labor. One day, he got me to face a real big guy. Exterminator he was called."
She stopped to scratch her chin. "I think that was because he was kinda husky, and when he body-slams people, they get squished. So, I fought him, and just when he was starting to get the upper hand, I got super man and attacked him, like a…well, possessed ape.
I hurt him really, really badly, and when I looked down at his bloody face, I decided then and there that I quit." Just as she finished, Gus shouted, "But you didn't get my permission to quit! You just up and left!" he was about to grab Sam, when she took a few steps back, getting into a fighting stance again.
She then ran at him and screamed, "DEMON MONGOOSE KICK OF DOOM!!!" and wham! Jumped up and nailed him right in the crotch. His eyes rolled back in his head and he fell to his knees, hands clutching his aching family jewels.
She turned to the boys' shocked faces and smiled. "That's where I got my kick-name from. Cause I did that to him once before." She eyed the place a moment, then gasped and yelled gleefully, "Oh my gosh! THEY HAVE PEZ DISPENSERS!!! YAAA-HOOOOO!"
And ran off, flapping her arms about. Pepito couldn't help but stare at her butt as she ran, a perverted grin making its way onto his face. "Come on, amigo! Pez!!" he seized Squee's hand and ran off after Sam, hoping he could see her run some more.
Eh-heheheheeeee…sorry for making Pepito kinda perv', but he just seems like he would be the real go-getter guy ^^;;; At least when he's older…or pre-teen…or….whatever. I can't think right now. I need food.
