CHAPTER 5!!!
Ray decided he'd double check Tala's theory before returning to his and Kai's room. He went into the kitchen and noticed that the fridge was open and so was the freezer.
Max, I swear you will never have sugar again.
He examined the contents of the fridge. Everything that had remotely resembled sugar was gone and, just as Tala had suspected, so was the pizza.
That snake has GOT to go!
His inspection of the fridge complete, Ray closed it and went back upstairs.
"What took you so long?" asked Bryan as Ray entered the room.
"Checking the fridge, why?"
"We wanted to know if these boxers belonged to you" said Bryan, holding up a pair of blue silk boxers with little pictures of elmo all over them.
"Na, those are Tyson's"
"What pile do they go in?" asked Tala.
"I say you put them in the ' How the crap did that get there?' pile" suggested Kai.
"It's your mess" said Bryan, following Kai's suggestion and putting the boxers in the appropriate pile.
Ray heard a rustling sound coming from inside the tent on the other side of the room.
"Hey, who's in the tent?" he had just finished asking his question when a small cow emerged from said tent. "Nevermind, I suppose this one has a name too?" How on Earth did he get a cow in here without anyone noticing? And wasn't Tyson in there earlier? How come he didn't notice it?
"Yeah, her name's Shut Up" answered Kai.
"What kind of name is that?!" asked Ray.
"A damn good one" replied Tala. "And appropriate too"
"How so?"
"That thing just won't do what its name tells it to"
"Okay then, let's get back to cleaning" said Ray, still confused as to how the cow got there.
So the four of them went back to sorting out the still massive pile of stuff that used to live under Kai's bed. About ten minutes later Ray discovered something rather strange.
"Kai, is that a goldfish in this glass?" he asked, holding up a glass that looked like it used to contain liquid, but had dried up over time.
Sure enough, when Kai took a closer look he saw that there was indeed a goldfish in the glass. What is strange about this, however, is not the fact that there was a goldfish in the glass, but the fact that said goldfish was still alive dispite the obvious fact that the glass had been empty for some time.
"You found Fluffy!" exclaimed Tala.
"Another one of Kai's pets I presume?"
"Yep!"
"It looks like you found Kinky as well, Ray" remarked Bryan, pointing to Ray's shoulder.
Ray looked down and saw that Kinky was in fact a giant tarantula and was crawling up over his shoulder and towards his neck.
"AAAAARRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHH!!!! A SPIDER!!! GET IT OFF!!! GET IT OFF!!!"
"Calm down, Ray, it's just Kinky" said Kai, putting his hand out near Ray's shoulder and letting the spider crawl onto it.
"Okay, I've had just about enough of this, Kai! Before we continue, I want a list of all your pets and where they are!"
"Why would you want that?" asked a smirking Tala "I thought you liked surprises"
"Not these types of surprises, Tala" said Ray "And if I get one more surprise outta Kai today I think I'm gonna have a heart attack"
"Since you put it like that, I guess we could write you a list" said Tala, grabbing a notebook and a pen from a draw in Kai's bedside table. "It'll be like a table, showing you what type of animal they are, their name, who named them and where they are now."
"Thanks, guys" said Ray.
"No problem" said Tala as he, Bryan and Kai walked across to the other side of the room and went into the tent.
And they went in there why? Thought Ray.
TBC...
Wanna know what's on the list? I won't continue unless you tell me to.
Please review.
