AUTHOR NOTE:
KM:OK so up to chapter two, Kunie finally gets through her stubborn nature that as a baby, Zorua has already imprinted on her, now she's stuck with the one thing she hates, and she's not dealing with it very well!
Disclaimer: Pokemon doesn't belong to me, because if it did, Ash wouldn't have freed Butterfree, and would have gotten an Eevee by now.
Kunie: what's going to happen?
KM: you'll find out.
Kunie: but shouldn't I know, I am sort of the protagonist aren't I?
KM: shut up, it's not all about you, Zorua? would you like to do the honors?
Zorua: Momma belongs to KM!
Kunie: Not you too!
I could only stare at the little fox in my arms, I didn't like how it was nuzzling up to me, but it was only a baby, so I had to take care of it until I got home...which could take forever because I had no idea where we were.
this park wasn't one mommy ever took me to, there was a pair of swings, painted in yellow and red, a Phanpy slide, a Snorlax spinning wheel, and even Aipom monkey bars...they actually looked kind of weird.
I scrunched up my nose, there were hardly any people here, I saw a mother, a couple, and three kids. Maybe I should ask for directions, I walk up to the mother who was sitting alone at a bench, "excuse me?" I asked her gently, she turned to me and smiled, "yes sweetie? how can I help you?" I blinked at her, she had a lot of make-up on, it almost blinded me, a wide smile fixated on me, with blinding white teeth, "um...I just wanted to know how to get to Lavender street...I'm a little lost." her smile got wider, if that's possible, "oh but of course." she got up from the bench and walked to the gate of the park, I walked there apprehensively with her and she pointed down one way, "just that way deary, if ya pass an ice cream shop, you're going the right way, be sure to get home soon, your parents will worry about you." I nodded and thanked her, walking away from the slightly terrifying woman, I looked down at the mutt, he was sleeping peacefully while I had to walk all the way home, doesn't he know it's all his fault?
I momentarily thought of rudely waking him up, but then again I thought about how much more he'd annoy me awake than asleep, I cringed at the name he called me, "momma", I'm eight years old, I don't need some dog calling me mother, all I needed to worry about is school, and soccer, nothing else.
Okay the woman said to go down this way...ah there's the ice cream shop! and look there! the park! perfect, I suddenly remembered my bag, I had forgotten it in my haste to run from the Pokemon currently twitching in my arms, I ran down the slope again, careful not to jostle the mutt, there I found my stuff gone, somebody must have taken it, I felt so mad at that moment I wanted to scream, but again I remembered about he sleeping fox in my arms, I glared at it, he was snoozing peacefully, not knowing if I was thinking of murdering him in his sleep...
I sighed sadly.
What's done is done, my bag is gone, I might as well go home...
As I continued on my way home the mutt woke up, it yawned and rubbed his eye with his red-socked paw, I stopped walking and looked at him disdainfully, "you know this is all your fault, because of you I lost my bag, and all my soccer equipment, and I got lost, so you better be ashamed of yourself for-" yawn, I could only sigh, I was tired, and hungry, I didn't have the energy to fight the little demon.
When I got home I promptly dropped him on the floor though to show my anger, he yelped but got back up as if nothing happened, "ah Kunie you're back...oh...hah hah, you're mad aren't you?" I glared at mommy, who was looking at me sheepishly and trying to hide behind the door she had just walked out of, "mommy..." I seethed, with forced calmness, "did you put the mutt in my bag?" I questioned, "I-uh, well, you see, I wasn't really, I was just-actually," she laughed nervously and inched away slowly, my eyes narrowed.
She was going to pay.
In Ice cream.
I gave a slow lick to my strawberry flavored ice cream, chunks of strawberry melting on my tongue. "I'm really mad at you mommy..." I said slowly, "y-yeah...I know..." she said nervously as she held her slowly melting vanilla ice cream, "but I payed you back now right?" I didn't answer her, making her more nervous, "I'm really, really, really, really, REALLY sorry Kunie..." I blinked, unimpressed at her lame apology, then I looked at the mutt on her laps, licking the melting drips off her hand, "that." I said as I pointed my finger at slightly nauseating, yet slightly amusing scene, "is really unsanitary." she blinked in confusion before looking down, she looked on in horror, "ah! no don't eat that!" I watched her fumble in panic with the mutt as she tried to separate him and the ice cream, which ended up being in vain, because he simply climbed up to her shoulder, to her head, and back to her hand.
I sighed at the embarrassing sight, people were looking over and laughing at the strange Pokemon climbing the even stranger woman.
Sometimes I wondered who was the adult. I looked at the Pokemon as he tossed her ice cream from her hand to the floor, mommy gawked in shock as she watched her cone be licked away by the Pokemon. "mommy..." I called exasperated, she didn't answer, still looking at the mutt in shock, "let's go home..." I said as I got off my chair, I took her hand and started dragging her away, maybe if we walked away now the fox would forget about us and keep eating.
My hopes were dashed when he ran past me ahead of us, stopping and then looking back at us with a smile, "momma!" he cheered when I reached him, I still didn't understand why mommy couldn't hear his voice but I could, it made me remember the time with the Duckletts too.
I heard mommy sigh, jostling me from my thoughts, and making me look at her, she was gazing down depressingly, I could literally see the cloud of sadness over her head, I leaned away from her, officially freaked out, "you can have mine if you want..." I offered uneasily, she took it offhandedly and put the whole thing in her mouth, I watched in shock as she seemed to somehow swallow the whole thing.
"that's disgusting mommy."
"I know. Let me wallow in self-pity."
"whatever..."
"..."
"you know I'm still angry at you right?"
"...I had hoped you'd have moved on by now..."
When we got back I saw dad's car in the parking lot, I saw it before mommy and ran to the house, the mutt right at my feet, I took the spare key from under the bushes, grumbling when the fox got in my face, "wow momma! you're as short as me now!" he squealed, he was way too happy for it to be normal, I frowned, pushing him away, I stood up and dusted the dirt from my pants.
I opened the door, "daddy?" I called out as I ran in, I went to his office and saw him there, his spiky black hair was especially messy today, he looked tired, in a button up white shirt and his dress pants. "Hey Daddy," he turned and smiled at me, "hey sweet pea." I frowned as I walked to him and gave him a hug, "I told you not to call me that, it's so dumb." I said, though I kept any contempt for the name out of my voice, he kissed the crown of my head, "doesn't get me to stop calling you by it, does it?" I pulled away and pouted at him, "jerk." I said and crossed my arms, he laughed as he mussed up my hair, identical to his.
"So how was your day kiddo?" he asked with a grin, almost expecting my response, "Mommy put the mutt in my bag when I went out and the evil thing started chasing me!" maybe making the mutt look like the bad guy would make them give him away, "maybe he wanted to play..." daddy said, his grin growing, he was making fun of me! "No. I'm very sure he wasn't. who chases another person for fun?" daddy crossed his arms, "isn't that what you do in soccer?" I shook my head in denial, "no, you chase the ball, not the people. That's different."
The fox suddenly ran into the room, yipping and yapping, daddy smiled as he picked up the fox and started cooing him, I glared at him, I never had much time with my daddy, and now the little time I did have was being taken up by a mutt, he wasn't even that cute, what did people see in the thing? "Your mommy told me about this little guy, she also told me you would spend time with him," my eye twitched, "I don't remember making that promise..." I muttered, "what?" he asked, "nothing..." I grumbled, "by the way, mommy ate ice cream without you." with that I ran out of the room, I knew mommy and daddy where huge vanilla ice cream lovers, they never ate it without the other, which was all part of my revenge plan, now daddy was going to whine at mommy for eating without him.
Kunie 1. Mommy 0.
I had taken a nice shower, changing to my pajamas, deciding the ice cream was enough dinner for me, I ran to my room and climbed up to the attic, it was the only place the mutt couldn't follow me to, it may think I'm it's mom, but I'm not, and he's going to learn that the hard way. I lay in my bed, lamenting my equipment, I needed to tell mommy and daddy that I had lost everything. they'd need to buy me new balls, new gloves, new padding, and also my sneakers, I had kept them in the bag.
Well at least I had more to complain to mommy about, she deserved everything coming to her.
"Momma?"
My eyes widened as I sat up, I looked around the room, it was empty, realization hit me, I crossed my arms in annoyance, that thing was so creepy it was even in my thoughts, "momma?" nope, it called again, definitely not my thoughts.
I heard a creak of the ladder and looked at it, only to find the small fox on the top step, looking at me with a smile and a wagging tail, "how the heck did you get up there?" I said as I ran to it and picked it up, I looked at the long fall, he could have gotten hurt if he fell. I glared at the creature as he blinked cutely at me, "you're a psychic Pokemon..." he flew up. It was the only logical explanation. How else did he get up here?
It only barked and smiled.
"I hate you."
"I love you!"
"you're annoying..."
"you're amazing momma!"
"...just go to sleep you brat..."
I grumbled as I put him in a corner and went to bed, it was only a second later I heard the creaking boards and his pattering feet, then I felt the bed sink, I turned to face him only to find him right in my face, I yelped and backed up, hitting my head on the wall, "ow!" I winced and touched the back of my head, I wasn't bleeding, so that was good, "ow!" he repeated, I frowned at him, he was smiling, as if he hadn't just caused the pain in my head. "get off my bed, I don't want you getting your Pokemon fur all over my bed," I pointed to the corner for added effect.
There wasn't much I could do with a Pokemon, give me a soccer ball and I can do a hundred tricks, give me a Pokemon and I can only stare at it blankly.
"Goodnight momma." He ignored my command and instead lay next to my pillow, "no, no, no! Go to your corner, I sleep here, not you!" I pushed him, trying to get him off the bed. He didn't budge. I saw now that his nails were digging into the bed, keeping him in place, but also ripping holes in my sheets, I could feel my eye twitch in irritation, he closed his eyes.
That brat! He was purposely ignoring me! I glared at him, hoping it would scare him, but he just ignored me, acting as if he was asleep, I could tell he wasn't. I was still tired from all the running I had done, I was exhausted, my body tugging me back down, now was not the time to fight, I could do that in the morning. "Fine...but not a peep out of you mutt..." I growled, I turned my back to him and inched as close as I could to the wall, he had better not be a kicker.
...
Man...now I need to go to the bathroom.
"So what should we name him? I'm thinking something cool, like Speed-o."
"Why should we name him?"
"Because she's not going to."
"Then...Max."
"...no..."
"Aw come one! you wouldn't let me call Kunie Max!"
"Because Max is a boy's name."
"B-but!"
"No...how about Ace!"
"No...that's dumb."
"What?! not it's not!"
"Yeah! how about Foxy?"
"That's even dumber than Ace!"
"Not as dumb as Speed-o!"
"Hey! I worked really hard on that one!"
"Clearly not as hard as you worked on keeping your promise!"
"What?"
"You ate vanilla ice cream without me!"
"...whaaaat? me? getting ice cream without you? never..."
"So you're saying you didn't break your promise?"
"Yes."
and you didn't get vanilla ice cream without me?"
"yes."
"And are you lying to me about all this?"
"Yes."
"..."
"..."
"You know you're getting the couch tonight, right?"
"...yes."
"Hop to it."
Author note:
KM: Aaaand that concludes chapter two! Another filler, sorry guys, I promise this is the last one till a while, it's just that I realized I needed to put a little more character into the parents after I realized I hadn't even shown the dad at all, it made me sad, and probably Kunie too... Well anyways I had a bit of difficulty here because I am terrible at making fillers! I have no idea what to write about, or what to do, so yeah, I hate reading, seeing, and even writing fillers.
Buuuuuuuut...
We had a bit more cuteness with the mischief-making Pokemon we all know and love! Even now Kunie and her family still have no idea what it is (duh, it's supposed to be a rare Pokemon), so she still takes to calling it mutt, fox, and brat, but then I decided to add a bit more time with the parents, I wanted to find a way to make the dad punish mom for doing the dishonorable act of eating ice cream without him (it happens all the time at my house, ice cream, Oreo, jello, you name it, we fight over it), which I also added the fact that they were trying to name Zorua behind Kunie's back, they clearly want her to do it, but since it's clear she still hates him...yeah...probably not happening any time soon.
Kunie is terrified of anything girly, which was why she freaked when she saw the woman with all that makeup, she doesn't hate it, but doesn't really love it (sort of like me in this sense). I mean have you ever met one of those people that could be six feet away from you but you still smell their perfume as if they were giving you a hug? Like that...but with makeup, you'll never get used to it.
I really don't want to make Kunie a Mary-sue! I will throw myself off my bed (I got a top bunk) if that ever happens! If she shows an inclination to that point, hit me over with a stick, like seriously, here, have a stick (passes sticks to viewers), be prepared...I've known in the past to accidentally making them, so be prepared with that stick!...Now I sound like Scar.
Also I'd like to give thanks to Flusion, for pointing out two mistakes in my last chapter! Sorry for being such a bad author! Hit me over with a stick!
Anywho. if you a have ideas as to what Zorua should be named, review and tell me what you think
KM OUT!
