CHAPTER THREE: COUSINS! MY FIRST LOOK AT NATURE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jumba just stared at the paper.
I was waiting with my arms crossed.
Was my performance on the training bad? Or was I better than he thought?
After a minute of staring at the paper, Jumba grinned.
"This is…Great! I can't believe your capabilities!"
I looked at Jumba. He was pretty happy with me.
"For me to know your exact capabilities, I gotta place these results to my computer for further studies."
Jumba headed to the room's exit. I stopped him before he exits.
"Wait, what am I supposed to do now?"
"Huh? I don't know. Whatever you please."
With that, Jumba left.
Whatever I please?
I exited the Training Room. I looked around the halls; the walls were made of dirt, probably because the lab is underground.
I sighed.
"Guess I better go and do some exploring, who knows what else awaits me around here."
I decided to walk; using my speed will take the fun out of exploring around. I reached the end of the hall…
What now?…Huh?
I looked next to me to find a stair made out of wood.
I crossed my arm and started inspecting the thing.
"I wonder where this leads…"
It didn't took me long to start climbing the stairs. I found a door at the top of the staircase.
"I wonder where this door leads."
I turned the knob, opening the door, a bright light shone out.
I covered my eyes with one arm. It disturbed my eyes, probably because I never was exposed to this strong lighting before.
Very soon the light faded and revealing what was behind the door. I uncovered my eyes.
The place the stair led me was inside a house. There was a window next to the door, I looked outside and I was shocked in delight.
Outside was beautiful. A beach just a few steps away from the house, tall palm trees making big shadows, perfect to sit under. The ocean was sparkling with tons of big waves, perfect for surfing.
I whistled in amazement.
"Aweeesome."
Everything was just perfect to just relax under the sun and to have fun.
I turned away from the window and exited the room.
I abruptly stopped running when I entered the kitchen. Inside were three creatures that looked almost like me…not exactly.
Two males, one female
One of them has a pink fur with purple spots, and a…big behind.
The other one was smaller, its fur was orange with some red stripes, and it had a hole where its nose's supposed to be.
The other looked more like me, it was the female. You could tell by her pink fur, girly eyes and antennas that are as long as a female human hair. She also has a white V fur line on her chest.
Ok, so only one of them looked like me.
I prepared myself…just in case.
Two of them were paralyzed with fear, I could tell by their expressions.
"Who is that?"
The small orange creature broke the silence in the room.
"I don't know….But he looks dangerous."
They had to be kidding…
I turned one of my shoulders on them and crossed my arms. Then I glared at them.
"Look out 520, that one has an attitude, a bad one."
520?
I moved my eyes where the small orange one was looking. He was warning the big-behind creature, who was closer to me.
They look harmless, why should I worry?
The two male creatures jumped and landed in front of the female creature.
Guess they aren't harmless.
"Don't worry 624. We'll check this guy out, we'll protect you."
"Oh C'mon guys."
The female creature walked through the two others.
"He's just another experiment. Like you and me."
So…They're an experiment like me.
She walked very close to me. I backed away a bit.
She looked at me in the eye.
She has beautiful blue eyes. From afar they may look completely black, but when you see them as close as I am, you can truly see her eye color.
She giggled, walked back and placed her hands behind her back.
"You have a pair of beautiful green eyes"
I backed away, turned around and ran toward a room.
"Hey, wait!"
Her voice sounds gentle and kind.
I closed the door behind me and locked myself in the room.
"…What happened? All of a sudden I felt like getting out of there."
I wanted to go out, but I don't want to run into them again.
I got out of the house over a window in the room.
I walked toward the ocean. I got close to the shore and sat on the sand.
I looked at my reflection on the glittering water.
…I guess I shouldn't complain about that female creature's look. She was almost identical to me... Except my fur is dark-gray and the fur on my belly, chest and eye patches are light-gray…
I started moving my ears as I continued looking at my reflection.
My ears looked like of a fox…and my claws are fairly long, in fact, almost like a bear's. My antennas are shorter than her's…The fur on the back of my ears are black.
I slightly turned, enough to see my back in the reflection.
The backspines on my back are fairly long.
I got closer to the water, and looked at my reflection's eyes.
My eyes…however…are different from hers. The background of my eyes is white, and a black dot lies on the center of my white eyes, with a wide emerald-green outline bordering the dot. To put it simply, like a human's eyes.
I stood up and looked back at the house.
"…That creature…She was beautiful…"
I thought about her…
I climbed to the roof of the house. I laid back on my back and folded my arms neatly behind my head and crossed my legs. I burned the time by just sitting back and staring at the clear blue sky.
I don't know what time it is, but it must be close to nightfall.
I opened one eye to see the sun setting. I casually stretched as I yawned with my eyes closed.
"Man, I must've dozed off."
I opened my eyes lazily…Then I realized.
"Ah, Jumba."
I jumped down the roof. But before I entered the house, I heard some whispers.
"Do you think he saw us?"
"I don't know."
"Do you think he can hear us?"
"Shhhh. Keep it up and he might."
I recognize those voices; it was those two experiments I met in the kitchen.
I walked toward a palm tree and elbowed it. And down fell the two experiments. The big one landed on the small one.
…That had to hurt.
"He heard us."
The big one was okay, but the small one was rather…uncomfortable.
"Get off of me 520!"
I felt sorry for him. So I picked up the big buy from the little guy.
"Please don't hurt us. I told him it was a bad idea."
I eyed at the experiment on my hands. He was afraid of me. I slowly put him down on the ground.
"I'm not going to hurt anyone."
I told them as I walked inside the house.
"You can talk?"
I turned and eyed the little experiment.
"Of course I can. I'm an experiment like you guys…Jumba told me I was."
The two experiments stood next to each other.
"Which number are you?"
I thought about that, then I remember.
"Jumba just gave me the number 000"
The two experiments looked at each other, then they faced me.
"Wow, only three ceros?"
I nodded. It was weird even to me for Jumba to give me such number. Even though he told me why he gave me such number.
"Well, at least let us introduce ourselves."
I looked at the smallest experiment.
"My number is 619."
619 huh?
619 pointed to the big guy with his head.
"And his number is 520."
I looked at 520; he just waved at me shy.
I looked back to the house, and I got curious.
"Is this house Jumba's?"
It might be a stupid question, but it looked too ordinary for a scientist. 520 replied,
"This house used to be the Pelekai's house. But they left it, letting Jumba to keep it."
I continued looking the house. They must've had a child, at the top theirs a room shaped like a ball, painted in red. I remembered again,
"I forgot. I have to go meet Jumba."
I turned to my new friends…or should I say, cousins.
"Sorry but I gotta go."
With that, I ran inside the house to the room with the door leading down to the underground lab, but before I went through the door I looked outside the window.
I saw 520 and 619 talking to that female experiment. They were probably talking about me…maybe. She turned and looked at me through the window.
Uh-oh.
I quickly went through the door and closed it behind me. I sighed and headed down the stairs to find Jumba…
=THIRD PERSON VIEW=
On a deep corner in Jumba's lab. There's an experiment inside a cage. With a brown fur, a white stripe on its back. Its head was bowed down.
"…So that's Experiment 000. The experiment created by mistake and ignorance."
The experiment chuckled.
"This might be fun…"
TO BE CONTINUE…

Another chapter done.
Don't think about the ending to this chapter yet. You'll know who the experiment is, and it's not who you think.
