I'm not going to reveal things that'll be in future chapters, plus the fanfic ''Moody Meets Her Match'' will be moved to October. I want to set the whole month of September for One True Place 3, which I'm starting to work on right now to get a head start. Plus school starts for me on August 30th and I am working on this story and another one at the same time, but I guess I may put the other one on hiatus to get working on this, before I start my job, then the stories would get updated once a week. Well... that's it, here's chapter 6.
Chapter 6
Finding 625
An hour past after Jumba was finished analyzing chemicals and checking them. he walked out of his chemical lab room to look for 625 to inform him to get ready. Jumba looked for the golden furred experiment in every room in his laboratory shouting his number.
'' 625! 625! Come out from hiding! Your break time is over!''
He searched in the last place he left 625, but he wasn't there. Jumba sighed then saw sunlight coming from the side of his ship. He went to that spot and saw the door open. A chill went down his spine after he realized where 625 was. he was out there... in the world.
'' Oh no... If 625 gets captured I'm in so much trouble! 625! 625!''
he immediately ran outside to the open lawn looking for that little experiment. he saw a bright orange suit laying on the ground. It was the suit 625 was last wearing.
'' If i ever find that little monster...''
As soon as those words escaped he entered his house and past the kitchen. Whispering those three digit numbers...
'' 625''.
He walked to the living room to find 625 resting on his armchair, still asleep. Jumba sputtered. He had to wake 625 up somehow.
'' 625'', he whispered.
No response. 625 still slept.
Gantu was sitting on a sofa with Era watching 625 rest, then he heard Jumba.
'' 625'', Jumba spoke a little more louder.
625's response was his red nose wiggling, and his ear twitching.
'' 625!'', he said loudly, yet gently.
No response.
Jumba pulled out a pen from his lab coat pocket and threw it, hitting 625 in the back, causing his to open his eyes. 625 looked at his surroundings to see who was disturbing him from a peaceful nap. He rubbed one eye and saw Jumba waving his hands in a circle, indicating for him to come to him.
'' What is it Jumba?'', 625 asked.
'' What are you doing here?'', Jumba asked, irritably.
'' Sleeping.''
'' Who invited you here?''
'' Nobody.''
'' Why are you sleeping on my chair?''
'' Flora let me.''
'' Eh? Who's Flora?''
'' Your wife. She's pretty nice.''
'' You nicknamed my wife?... Oh 625, this is low, even for you.''
'' Huh?''
'' She's treating you like her pet.''
'' Pet?''
'' That's bad.''
'' I don't mind.''
'' If you get treated like a pet, there are terrible consequences.''
Gantu was stunned,'' He has got to be lying.''
'' I agree'', Era said,'' He pulls that trick on some experiments.''
'' What kind of consequences?'', 625 asked.
'' We could get captured or worse...'', Jumba fibbed.
'' Worse? What should I do?''
'' Come to the lab with me.''
'' If I go back, do you promise to make me a bed to sleep in, that's not the cage?''
'' Done. Anything else?''
'' Let me have a one hour break every single day?''
'' Done.''
'' That's all.''
'' Okay, back to the lab we go...''
Then Flora came into the living room to find Jumba and 625 talking. Flora didn't want 625 to go back to the laboratory to put up with Jumba's brainwashing lectures.
'' Come here 625'', Flora called.
625 smiled and waddled toward the direction to where Flora was.
'' No 625 come to me'', Jumba said.
625 didn't know who to choose.
'' Jumba, the little graham cracker is coming to me'', Flora challenged.
'' You gave 625 a pet name? 625 is supposed to be an experiment not a... 625!'', Jumba said, surprised.
625 was picked up by Flora, while she scratched 625 under his chin gently.
'' 625 come here! You don't need to be treated like a pet!'', Jumba shouted.
625 stared at Jumba, before turning back to Flora.
'' 625! THAT'S IT!''
He furiously swiped 625 out of Flora's hands and stormed out of the room heading outside.
'' Jumba, bring back the poor little honeydrop!'', Flora pleaded.
'' Not now!''
He slammed the sliding glass door and stomped back into the ship, slamming the door and dropping 625. Era and Gantu followed. This didn't seem good.
'' What's Jumba going to do to 625?'', Gantu asked.
'' I don't know!'', Era panted.
They entered the ship. Jumba calmly paced in the room as 625 cringed in a corner of the room, awaiting his punishment.
'' 625... What were you thinking?'', Jumba said, angrily.
'' Nothing...'', 625 whimpered.
'' Don't you know that you're never to set foot outside?''
'' You never told me that.''
'' Silence!''
Gantu and Era were witnessing this from the hallway of the room, not wanting to see 625's punishment, thinking it may be terrible. Jumba never stopped pacing and interrogating 625, with seeming like an endless string of questions and comments.
'' Don't you even know the dangers of the outside?'', Jumba asked.
625's heart was beating rapidly, as beads of sweat from his forehead slid down his face from nervousness,'' N-not really.''
'' Haven't I ever told you of the dangers that lurk outside?''
'' N-n-n-not really.''
'' The worst of all... you were getting treated like a pet... do you know what I do to experiments that are like that?''
625 gulped, not wanting to know,'' No.''
'' I punish them. 625, you should never get pampered like a pet. It's bad for my reputation, and worse for yours.''
'' But I didn't mind...''
'' Silence!''
625 shivered and cringed again.
'' 625, next time... never ever go near that house. Ever! I catch you in there all your compromises go kaput!''
'' Yes, doc'', 625 whimpered,'' I'll listen.''
'' Good. I want you to put your orange suit back on. You left it in the back, plus you punishment for leaving the ship... No breaks tomorrow.''
'' But...''
'' Don't even think about talking back to me!''
625 growled in anger and walked off into a room to dress into his orange suit.
'' 625 gets too attached to, as he calls 'Flora', he'll be seriously punished'', Jumba muttered softly, before turning to see 625 dress into his suit.
Gantu and Era gulped.
