Forget It

Chapter 12: It's Cow Time Again!

Jill leaned against the side of her small house. It was already noon, and she was done with all of her chores. What was it that she had wanted to do?

She smacked her forehead. She wanted a cow! The brunette dashed into her house and picked up the phone. A list of names appeared on the screen and she picked out Gotz's name.

"Hi, Gotz, it's Jill. I wanted to order an Animal Shed."

"I'll be there tomorrow," he promised.

Three days later…

"Well, your animal barn's all complete. I guess you'll buy some cows or sheep now."

Jill grinned. "Yup. Thanks so much!"

As soon as Gotz left, the teen was back on the phone, this time with Rick.

"Do you have an animal barn?"

"Of course. Why else would I be calling?"

The image of Rick shrugged. "I don't know. You're kind of goofy like that."

"Thanks a lot. Can I name the cow Munchie?"

"It's your cow. I'll deliver her to the entrance of your farm. Good luck."

Rick hung up before Jill had a chance to reply, so she hung up her end of the line. "Yay, cow!" She ran outside and there stood a large brown cow.

"Munchie!" The brunette threw her arms around the cow's neck, startling her. Munchie mooed loudly.

"All right, into the barn!" Jill got behind the cow and pushed with all her might. Munchie moved only a couple steps. "Come on!"

After a time, Jill finally got the stubborn cow into the barn. The girl wiped her brow and smiled. "Good night~"

Bright and early the next morning, Jill flounced into the barn. "Good morning, Munchie!"

In response, the cow grunted and turned away from her.

"What's wrong?" Jill scanned the barn for rats and other unwanted guests. Her eyes landed on the feed bin. "I-I forgot to feed you!"

The teen dashed to her house to place another call in to Rick.

"Sorry, but we're not open yet, Jill."

"Munchie needs food, Rick! I can't let her starve!" Jill was gesticulating madly, trying to get her point across.

Rick sighed. "All right, how much food do you need?"

"Ten pieces. That should be good for now, right? RIGHT?" The brunette pulled out her wallet in anticipation.

"That'll be 200 G."

Wincing, Jill pulled out two 100G notes and placed them into the slot on the side of the phone. Rick responded by sending 10 pieces of fodder through the item chute. They slid down and the girl placed them in her bag.

"Have fun with Munchie."
