Chapter 10
It's One Of Those Days
Experiment 623 found herself sleeping on the ground after a long night unpacking things, when the sun shone upon her closed eyes. She woke up and shook herself like a dog sending some dirt from her fur to come off. Yawning she wondered where the strange female alien she was working with went off to. She looked around her surroundings and heard a bird chirp. She jumped and growled. She want sure if this creature was a friend or a foe, but she didn't want to take any chances. She posed into a defensive position with her legs spread apart, and her claws out, checking her surroundings once more.
'' 623 will you help me with- OW!'', Jiqua shouted, as 623 threw a rock at her head to protect herself when she jumped.
'' Oops sorry!'', 623 replied, looking sheepishly at the ground.
'' What do you thought I was?''
'' um... something...''
'' Like what?''
'' I dunno... just tell me what is going on this morning.''
'' Okay, first we have to look for a little girl, a shark-like alien that is over eight feet tall, and a small yellow hairball that likes to eat sandwiches.''
'' Some clues. Who are you working for anyway?''
'' You haven't been paying attention last night have you?''
'' Not really?''
'' I'm working for Doctor Jacque Von Hamsterveil.''
'' Riiiiiiiiiiiiiight...''
'' You don't believe me do you?''
'' Nope. I need to see it to believe it.''
'' Fine then, we'll have to look for them, but make reservations.''
'' Reservations?''
'' Reservations, all part of the plan.''
'' Uh-huh...''
'' I just don't understand you... Come on. We have to look fir these creatures no matter how weird they are.''
'' Okay.''
Then Jiqua and 623 walked off to the civilization to look for the people that matched Hamsterveil's description.
Meanwhile...
625 was wide awake. Oddly strange for him to wake up so early in the morning. Of course he was just fixing himself a sandwich to eat.
Marie was now awake and dressing into her hula outfit, practicing the steps for her hula. She hoped that 625 would leave her to do her hula in peace, instead of just walk in and say a rude comment. She was now moving her arms like she practiced in hula class.
625 sighed and heard silence, still wondered if everyone was sleeping. He just couldn't stand the silence. It was six in the morning... but still...
He got out of the kitchen and walked down the red carpet that lead him to the stairway, now tiptoeing up the stairs to make sure not to let a step creak one of the stairs, which may wake someone up. He made it to the top, an slowly walked out the front of Marie's bedroom. He saw that the door was slightly open and he took a peek inside, watching Marie practice her hula steps.
Of course, hula dancing this early in the morning, 625 thought.
He continued to spy on her then decided to walk in,'' Morning...''
His now soft gentle voice was now fading as Marie stared at him, now very angry for him interrupting her hula practicing steps again. 625 took a step back, not knowing what to say.
'' Go ahead, say a wisecrack and get on with it, as you usually do'', Marie said, while frowning and rolling her eyes.
625 looked down upon the floor before perking his head up and staring at Marie not saying a word.
'' Well...'', Marie said, expecting him to say something.
625 walked past Marie looking rather submissive while he walked to his bed and sat down, still staring at her.
'' No wisecrack?'', Marie asked.
'' You want me to say one?'', 625 asked.
'' I'd expect one... are you feeling okay?''
'' Yes...''
'' How come you are all quiet?''
'' I dunno.''
'' Odd...''
'' Why are we talking like this?''
'' I... don't... know...''
'' Well it's stupid to talk like that. Let's speak like normal people...''
'' 625, you're not a person.''
'' I know, but at least I can talk.''
'' True.''
Then there was an embarrassing silence. 625 cleared his throat.
'' Something in your throat?'', Marie spoke.
'' No. I'm fine. So are you going to practice your hula or what?'', 625 asked.
'' I am, but I guess I may not since you're just sitting there watching me.''
'' I walk in a lot of times and I see you dancing your sissy dance.''
There was the wisecrack that Marie was waiting for. She rolled her eyes as she sighed, but then that turned into a smirk, she's got him under slight blackmail.
'' I see you dance the hula too.''
'' I sure do not dance the hula!''
'' How come I saw you dance the hula in the attic alone?''
Then 625's golden colored face began to turn slightly red, now trying hard to hide his embarrassment,'' Um... I don't dance...''
Marie smirked,''I have a photo this time.''
'' What!'', 625 stammered.
Then Marie pulled the photo out from her night-stand drawer. Then 625 looked at the photo and ripped it up.
'' HA! Now where's your evidence now?''
'' I've seen you do it anyway, I can see clues.''
625 scoffed,'' What kind of clues?''
He was now trapped as a run of questions was about to hit him.
'' Then explain to me why, my hula skirt is gone after I put it on the bed?''
'' Probably your dog ate it.''
'' 625, you're the family pet.''
'' Um... Peg probably puts it in the wash.''
'' Only on the weekends.''
625 blushed, now under pressure from the endless string of questions,''Um, it just got up and walked away...''
'' Aha!'' Marie accused.
625 looked down.
'' Blushing is always a clue to your embarrassing antics.''
'' Er...''
'' 625, hula is not a sissy sport, you just think it is but you don't wanna admit it.''
'' I don't hula Marie.''
'' Yes you do!''
'' No I don't!''
'' Do!''
'' Don't!''
'' DO!''
'' DON'T''
'' MOO!''
Then 625 fell to his bed and started to laugh. Marie sighed, as she too began to laugh. Peg then ran out of her room to see 625 and Marie laughing together.
'' What's so funny you two?'', Peg asked, walking into the room.
'' Nothing'', 625 said, suppressing his laughter.
'' Yeah, just a conversation...'', Marie said.
'' Moo'', 625 repeated and then laughed again.
Peg rolled her yes and walked out from the room. Marie and 625 sighed after they stopped laughing.
625 turned his head.
'' It's almost time for hula class'', Marie said.
'' Ugh...''
'' What's with you?''
'' Nothing.''
'' First you're laughing then you're having that attitude of yours.''
'' Nothing.''
'' It's something...''
Then Marie got off of the bed,'' Come on, we've got to go to hula class.''
Of course 625's sarcasm was starting to kick in... Oh great another day of staying outside with nothing to do... I cannot stand silence!
They both got out of the bed and walked downstairs, but little that 625 realized that something was about to happen when they would arrive to hula class...
TBC...
Still working on the story, I'm putting off my stories for a while since I am very stressed out. School work, babysitting, and now kicked out of my own shop... at school, now I have to find another one... I'll update whenever I feel less stressed.
