Chapter Three: A Caucus Race And A Long Tale
Chapter Three
The Deathscythe pilot shivered heavily, for being soaking wet and not being dried often led to many bouts of shivering.
The creatures on the bank all began talking at once. There were many curious suggestions as to how to get dry, and Duo ended up having quite the argument with the Lory, (whom he found out to be named Mariemaia Khushrenada, daughter of the Dodo; Trieze Khushrenada. Duo found this all to be extremely disturbing but decided not to say anything for fear of an attack), the small bird declaring that her way was the best way to get dry. Finally they all hushed down as the rat woman (who was called Hilde by the Duck Zechs, and the Duck called Millardo by the old Eaglet who was dubbed Dekim by Mariemaia. All of this confused Duo, who had never been good with names) stepped into the circle of animals and cleared her throat.
"I have a way to get us dry. There was once a man in Germany called Adolf Hitler who aspired to be world leader and slew many in his conquest. He allied himself with Italy in order to take over America, but ended up backstabbing--"
"Wait a minute! All these big words are confusing me!"
Hilde glared. "Then you must listen carefully. Now where was I? Adolf ended up backstabbing the leader of Italy when he found out about it--"
"About what?" Duo interrupted.
"It. Now, my dear boy, how are you getting along?" the Gundam pilot sighed and wrung out his brown braid.
"Wet as ever! And I'm still cold."
Trieze cleared his throat and stepped in front of the rat-woman. "Then, to get us all dry we must have a Caucus race!"
"A say what race?"
The Dodo bird went on to explain the rules. Each animal and person could start the race when they wanted and finish when they wanted; which didn't really make it a race, just a mere running game. There was no Ready, Set, Go, but Duo started off as the first one eager to get dry and warm, and also a little exersise. The group of strange beings ran for a half an hour before the Eaglet delcared the game over. Panting, they all crowded around Mariemaia and waited for her to announce the winner.
She sat tapping her chin for a bit before snapping her fingers. "We all win! Therefore, we all get prizes!"
There was the immediate chorus of, "who shall give out the prizes?" then the answer of, "why he will of course!"
Duo Maxwell backed up holding his hands in the air as a sign of protest. "But, I don't think I...never mind." He just remembered that the pockets in his uniform pants were choc full of random items he had gathered from the many places he had visited. He handed them out, one to each animal until he was the only one without a prize. Millardo (or was it Zechs?) shouted for silence.
"The boy deserves something! What have you son?" Duo reached into his pocket and pulled out his favorite cross; the last gift of Father Maxwell. "Very well, hand it over." He complied. "Young man, I present you with this golden thing, as proof of your participation. Congratulations." The animals all croded around the brunette, clapping and whistling. Strange thing to hear animals whistle. Creepy too.
Hilde sighed and sat down in her own little corner; away from the group. "I am now ready to tell you about my sad tale."
Now Duo was confused. Her tail didn't look sad at all, just pink and hairy, but didn't say anything in fear of offending the poor creature. When Hilde started, her voice was low and meloncholy.
"When I was but a child, my mother and father were very poor. We lived off scraps from the streets and were constantly chased by cats, dogs, and humans. True we were half human ourselves, but with the rat genes in us, we were outcasts in society until--"
"Does this story have a point to it?" Dekim put in rudely. Hilde hissed at him in anger, which soon got everyone else wired and began more arguements.
Duo sighed and got up, not liking the sound of so many shrill voices invading his head. They only increased in volume and set his nerves on edge. "Augh! If you guys don't shut up, I'm leaving and will find a cat to sic on you!" That shut them up. Trieze and Mariemaia shrieked and ran away. Hilde bristled and jumped into the water, while Dekim and Zechs (or was it Millardo?) took off down the hall in mid-air. The silence was welcomed with open arms.
"Ah, finally. Peace and quiet." Minutes passed without so much as a sigh of the wind, which creeped Duo out.
Pit-pit-patter-pat-pitter-pat
Maxwell stood and looked in the direction of the noise, hoping it was Hilde or Trieze coming back to talk. (He had taken quite a liking to both)
