City Folk: Twenty Days
We sat down in the sand. We started having a conversation and it turned into a conversation about our houses. "Ugh. My house is always getting stuff stolen. My pets, my bed, everything. It's terrible." "Well, you could stay with me until you get all your stuff back." It was nice talking to Lolly. She was a great friend, and I didn't have to talk to my pets anymore. We could joke and talk for hours… I'd never mind how long she'd talk about her life, I'd try not to waste her time with mine. She was fun, she was normal, she was cute, she was nice to me, everything someone could want. I loved her and she loved me back. She was a beautiful gray striped cat. Luckily my house was next to hers, so I just went in with her. "I'll take the couch tonight." I said. "I don't wanna bug you." "You're so sweet…" She said "I'll stay down here with you until I get sleepy." She said. We were watching a movie when she rested her head on my shoulder. She never did sleep on her bed that night. She slept there with me, her head on my shoulders. I awoke that morning before she did and put a pillow in my place and decided to make breakfast when she wakes up. She woke up and I asked her. After a nice breakfast, I just rested on the couch and let my knuckles heal. Despite my bleeding paws, I always carried stuff for her, Opened doors for her and did everything I could to be polite. It rained later on that day, but I didn't want her to fret about that. I went and caught her three Coelacanth. One for a pet, one for museum donations and another for selling. Speaking of rain, it rained all day, the rest of the day. We just sat down and talked that day, about how the little things in life can give you the biggest smile. I noticed the most beautiful smile on her face. As soon as I saw it, I smiled. Then we started to talk about how my house is being stolen, one item at a time. I wondered who did it, and, most of all, why he/she did it. I wondered if it was that jerk human kid who just moved in. I hope I'd get my stuff back. Then again, I didn't want to get it back THAT fast. It was kind of nice here. She told me she didn't mind it at all. I think she actually liked it. Then that day it just came to me. I saw something suspicious at Redd's. A tank… A coelacanth! That stupid fox stole my trophy! "I need to go right now. Keep safe and take care" I said, going to the city. "I'm all alone…" "Redd, you idiot, you stole my stuff! Let me in!" I banged my paw on the steel door and I yowled in pain. "I'm gonna have to call the cops!" I dialed the number. "Hello? What do you need?" "Yes, uhh… Someone has stolen my stuff. I'm at the bus stop. I'll lead you there." I hung up and waited. Soon they came. I thought she might have been worried about me, since they passed through the town. "I'm all alone…" "But I have cash." Red opened the door and they rushed inside, taking all of the forged paintings and shut him down. Finally, I had my stuff back. I took the bus home and returned. I walked back to my house to discover it had been torn down by someone. No living in my house anymore… I came back to Lolly's house and she looked at me. "I saw they tore the house down. I'm sorry." "It's not your fault. I guess I got this furniture for nothing…" She had a scared look in her eyes. I knew she was worried. At least we were okay, that's all that mattered. I sat down on the couch with her. We continued talking and felt better. We made plans to go to the movies that day. It was pretty long, but we liked it. I stayed up most of the night to make sure no one steals anything. Then I slept and she laid her head on my shoulder like the other nights. That morning I awoke, but I stayed. I stayed right there with her on my shoulder and waited. It only took 20 minutes, but it seemed longer. At least I didn't disturb her. But then, something was stolen… So we were going to move…
