Okay, bit of a story behind this one. I was showing my sister some one shots I have, I can't remember which one, and I wanted some feedback. She asked some questions about Taboo and made the suggestion of Taboo and a box, and this one shot was born.
And since I made a big deal of this last time, wooo! Over 2,000 views! Thanks guys!
"Jackie! Are you done in the stock room?" Tina called out, as there were no customers currently.
"Almost!" Jackie called back, unpacking a new set of books from the newly arrived boxes. "What do you want me to do with these boxes?"
"Whatever you feel like. Recycle them if you've got no ideas."
Jackie nodded to herself and started flattening the boxes, until she got to one of the more medium sized ones. An idea flashed across her mind, and she took care not to let Taboo hear it as she smirked. This was going to be funny.
Taboo looked up from her dozing spot, inconveniently in front of the fridge, as Jackie placed something in front of her.
"Why have you put a box there?" Taboo looked right up at where Jackie was.
"You're a cat. Cat's like boxes."
"Are you kidding me? I'm not some dumb house cat! I do not find cardboard boxes entertaining!"
"If you're sure. I'll just leave it here then. Go back to dozing." Like a house cat.
Taboo grumbled and lay her head back on her paws as Jackie went off to do HOG stuff. When she was gone rested her chin on her paws and looked at the box with narrowed, glowing blue eyes.
"It's just a stupid box. How is that interesting?" She settled down again, but the presence of the box kept irritating her.
"Gah! Get out of my way!" Taboo gave the box a shove and it slid across the kitchen, hitting the sink cabinet on the other side of the room.
Now it was out of her way she settled down to continue her nap.
...
"It's still annoying me!"
Taboo got up and stormed over to the box, her ice claws making clicking noises on the tile. She looked down into it and growled.
"It's just a box. Get a grip you melted puddle." Taboo growled to herself and turned away.
Then she turned back.
Looking carefully over her shoulders, Taboo shrank slightly and stepped into the box.
"Hmm, not bad." She assessed and she settled down into the box. It was a bit tight, but alright. "Kinda comfy."
She lay there for a few minutes, but ended up looking at the lip of the box and gnawing on it a bit.
"I think I have a better idea for this thing."
Half an hour later Jamie walked into the kitchen to get a snack, only to see Taboo sitting in the middle of a pile cardboard, that looked like it had been ripped apart and chewed. No, definitely chewed, a piece was Taboo's mouth right now.
She looked up at him, and looked a bit embarrassed as Jamie just stared.
"You know what, I'm not hungry."
He walked out and found Jackie at her desk in their room, making her way through the stack of paperwork. Although, by the way she was giggling, she knew exactly what Taboo was doing.
"Do you want to stop her?" Jamie asked, and Jackie shook her head.
"Not on your life! This is hilarious!" She looked back at Jamie. "Have you got a camera?"
"Yes, why- Oh. I see." The couple had equally evil grins on their faces. "Do you want to do it or shall I?" Jamie asked.
"Taboo will know I'm coming."
"Fine, but if I get mauled..."
"I'll take you down to HOG, mainly because it'll be my fault."
"Okay then."
Taboo knew why they were giggling, and could guess what those photos were, but she didn't do anything until Jackie showed her one.
"Jackie!" She whined and hid her face in her paws out of embarrassment.
"I should bring boxes home more often." Jackie commented with a grin, kneeling on the sofa arm and looking down at Taboo as she groaned.
"I don't know what came over me."
"Despite how tough you are, you're just a big kitty cat." Jackie leaned over and scratched behind Taboo's ears, which always made her start purring.
"Screw you." Taboo complained, but bring herself to be mad. She loved being scratched there.
Jackie smirked and handed the photos back to Jamie, who was also grinning as he stood there and leafed through them.
'We have to show these to Jack.' He mouthed, and Jackie nodded.
'And the rest of the Branch.' Jackie added, also mouthing, to which Jamie nodded. Taboo was going to get teased so much.
...I ship it
And now I need to run before Taboo finds me, I don't know how well Descendant Dreamsand will work on her and now is not a good time to find out!
Okay, I don't usually do this, but I don't know how well I did, so please leave feedback on this one. I'm usually not good with funny situations or slice of life, so having some indication would be really helpful. So, first time I think I've said this, please review.
