TALE XXVII. Pondering of Doom!
SENKA: You, Ayumu, go find Kousuke and Elwood. They should still be at the store.
AYUMU: Uh, why?
ALLIKAT: Because she said so, lovable Ayumu.
AYUMU: ...right then...(leaves)
SENKA: ...Sooo, Allikat, since you're merged with the cat, does that make you my half-sister? 'Cuz I'm related to you, but I'm not related to any cats.
ALLIKAT: Um...dunno. Let us ponder this.
(sit to ponder)
SENKA + ALLIKAT: Hm...
(Elwood enters, carrying grocery bags)
ELWOOD: Somehow I ended up carrying all the bags...Um, what are you guys doing?
SENKA: We're pondering whether or not Allikat is my sister because she's merged with a cat, which I am not related to.
ELWOOD: Dunno, I'll help ponder.
(joins pondering)
SENKA + ALLIKAT + ELWOOD: Hm...
(Kousuke enters)
KOUSUKE: Damn, somehow I ended up paying for everything...What are you doing...?
SENKA: We're pondering whether or not Allikat is my sister because she's merged with a cat, which I am not related to.
KOUSUKE: ...I guess I can help you try to figure it out...
(joins pondering)
SENKA + ALLIKAT + ELWOOD + KOUSUKE: Hm...
(Razuki, Zosuke, and Sraxek enter)
ZOSUKE: Somehow, we did absolutely nothing! We didn't even go to the store! Yay!
RAZUKI: You're an idiot...
SRAXEK: ...what are you up to, Senka and company?
SENKA: We're pondering whether or not Allikat is my sister because she's merged with a cat, which I am not related to.
ZOSUKE: I'll help, I'll help!
RAZUKI: I...think I'll watch.
SRAXEK: As will I.
(Zosuke joins pondering, Razuki and Sraxek sit off to the side)
SENKA + ALLIKAT + ELWOOD + KOUSUKE + ZOSUKE: Hm...
RAZUKI + SRAXEK: ...
(Ayumu enters, putting money in his wallet)
AYUMU: Somehow I got those two to give me all the change...What's going on?
SENKA: We're pondering whether or not Allikat is my sister because she's merged with a cat, which I am not related to .
ALLIKAT: It's a mystery! .
AYUMU: ...Allikat is still your sister, Senka. Since the cat she merged with belonged to Alli, it was technically family thus when she merged, you and the cat were practically related. Thus, she's your full sister.
ALLIKAT: That's right! Ayumu's so smart! (huggles)
SENKA: You had a cat?
ELWOOD: How does he know that?
SENKA: Wait, she had a cat?
KOUSUKE: It's almost like she kidnapped him long ago.
SENKA: A green cat?
AYUMU: She kidnapped me when she was still Alli.
ALLIKAT: Yup!
ELWOOD: Oh, that makes sense.
KOUSUKE: Fascinating, really.
SENKA: Wait, since when did you have a cat!
A/N: This is one of the longest tales. And trust me, after this point they all start getting long. oO
