Dragon Day Afternoon
"All right now let's get this straight once and for all!" Vi glared at Lockheed. "I am not going to treat you like some kind of flying dog or anything! Stay out of my room!"
Vi had decided after the talk with Xavier to try and lie down for a while. That was the plan until she walked into the room and had caught Lockheed on her bed and chewing on one of her shoes. Currently she was in the process of trying to pry it from his jaws. "This is a fifty eight dollar shoe. The entire pair cost one hundred and sixteen dollars! THIS IS NOT A CHEW TOY OR SOMETHING TO PLAY TUG OF WAR WITH!"
"Rrrrrrr," Lockheed growled as he clung to it.
"Give it, give it…" Vi snarled as she tugged harder. "Give it! Agggh!" She fell backwards as the heel broke in Lockheed's jaw and she fell backwards. "NOOOOOOO!"
Lockheed then decided now was a good time to leave the room as he flew away. "COME BACK HERE YOU EVIL COUSIN OF BARNEY!" Vi screamed as she threw the ruined shoe at him. She missed and Lockheed happily flew away.
"My shoe…" Vi sank down on the carpet. "First my son and then my house and now my shoes! Why? Why is this happening to me? This can't get any worse!"
"YEOWWWW!" She heard Carl screaming.
"Of course it can," Vi sighed as she got up. "Now what's going on?"
"YEOW!" Carl yelped as he hopped around. "THAT THING TRIED TO SET ME ON FIRE!" Kitty was there with Lockheed as well.
"What's all the racket here?" Logan asked.
"That dragon gave me a hotfoot!" Carl grunted in pain.
"Well you nearly stepped on his tail!" Kitty defended as she held Lockheed in her arms. "Poor baby!"
"Poor baby?" Vi snapped. "That baby just ate my shoes!"
"I don't believe it," Logan blinked. "Usually he just eats the boys' shoes. He's never gone after the girls' shoes before."
"Yeah, well he's probably never tasted a hundred and sixteen dollars worth of leather before!" Vi snapped.
"Lockheed's just a baby!" Kitty defended. "He's just nervous around all these new people and he's upset."
"Really?" Logan scratched his chin. "Here boy, come here boy. You wanna go play in Dr. Reisman's room? Lots of shoes in there to chew on!"
"Logan that's not nice," Kitty looked at him. "But if it will get me out of trouble and that witch out of here," She handed Lockheed to Logan.
"It's a deal!" Logan grinned. "Come on, now's a good time to get in there. She's in the lab for a bit." They both went off.
"I hate that dragon…" Carl groaned. "I really hate that dragon…"
"I hate it here," Vi moaned. "I really hate it here!"
Next: You knew it had to happen sooner or later. The Misfits stop by! Oh what fun we will have!
