Chapter 3: In a Lonely World
I DO NOT own T.U.F.F. Puppy or any characters except for Maria and her family. Now, in this chapter, we get to learn a little bit more about Maria, her hopes, desires, feelings, etc. To some extent this character is a lot like me. We have the same fears, we're both artistic, both rather solitary, and both wear glasses. Most of the similarities end there. I hope you don't find it too boring. Enjoy!
Maria Claire Foxxy stretched out on her bed, wearing a red V-neck shirt and blue jeans. She neatly made her bed every morning. If you looked around her room, you realize she had many interests.
She had shelves filled with paints and other art supplies, as well as books of seemingly every genre. Her recently polished trumpet was displayed on her dresser near her motorcycle helmet and empty inhaler. In her closet, her ballet dresses and slippers were next to white karate robes and a black belt. Her paintings and posters for musicals such as The Lizard of Oz, The Vermin of the Opera, and The Hound of Music covered the walls. Her waitress uniform was draped over her chair at her desk.
It made Maria glad to live in California. This gave her a good chance to accomplish her dream of becoming an actress. She wasn't sure yet how she her family's move to Petropolis. It seemed okay, yet there were a few people who resented her and her family for being so well-off. She had also heard there was a lot of crime. Of course, that's what T.U.F.F. was for. It also helped that just about all the villains here were scared to death of her dad.
Speaking of criminals, she remembered something interesting from yesterday. She recalled the chance encounter with her new neighbor. She had heard that the Chameleon was evil, a monster. And yet he helped her. Maybe he was just lonely. Maybe he was mean because people were mean to him. Whatever the case, Maria couldn't get him out of her head. She looked out her window at the smaller stone house.
Maria put in a CD by her favorite singer, the more-than-glamorous hyena Lady Ha ha!, thinking Could he really be so bad? Maybe he would understand me. For a reason that she just couldn't comprehend, she wanted to see him badly.
OK, I hoped you liked that. There will be plenty of excitement later on. Stay tuned!
