Note: I apologize to my audience for disappearing. I have had issues that you may not care to know. Anyway, the third chapter, I hope you like it! Oh, if you like this, check out my brother's story in our game. We view the characters differently, it's a good way to compare writing styles as well. My brother is really good at writing, better than I, and his story is more humorous (actually hilarious =D). He is Kingdom Finale, look him up here at FF.
Warning: Hehe, sorry I couldn't help myself. There are, uh, homosexual references in this chapter. But, don't worry no yaoi! It's not even serious, it's just a funny thing!
During the next few days, Luna got to meet Ken, the richest person in Brentwood. He was a blond with beautiful hazel eyes, he was always wearing his tan trench coat- what he was known for. He was on vacation the first two days of Luna's arrival. Ken, she thought, seemed kind of nice, in a bossy way. She noticed that he treats Lukas like his servant, but at the same time treats him so kindly.
"So what's the deal with you guys?" Luna asked the afternoon of Ken's arrival. She looked at Lukas and then glared at Punchy, Stinky, and Dizzy, who were with them, telling them mentally to not interrupt Lukas.
"Huh? What do you me-"
"She means whats up with between you and Ken?" Punchy interrupted, receiving one of those death glares from Luna. Lukas stared at all of them in a curious manner. He shrugged, not really knowing the answer to that question. He's known Ken for a while and he himself has never noticed anything. He actually thought that he was the nicest person he has ever met.
"I know he's really nice, but... you know what? Forget it. I'm probably just going insane." Luna said, already bored of the topic. Punchy nodded, again receiving a death glare from Luna. She was sure he was nodding at the last thing she said and growled lowly at him. Punchy screeched like cat, because he is one, and ran. Luna ran after him barking like a dog. Stinky, Dizzy, and Lukas followed not wanting to be left out. They ended up in front of The Museum. Blathers came out wondering what was all the commotion when Punchy leaped into his arms.
"She's gonna kill me! Save me please!" Punchy yelled, hugging Blathers's neck rather tightly. Blathers rolled his eyes and placed Punchy down. "No! Please! Ah!" Luna stopped barking, but continued to growl lowly.
"May I ask what's going on?" Blathers asked curiously. Luna just shook her head and barked one last time, causing Punchy to take cover behind the owl.
"Oh, yes. Blathers, I have something I would like to donate," explained Luna as she reached into the depths of her pocket. Out she took a a little carrier with a small dragonfly inside. The poor dragonfly was desperately trying to find a way out.
"AH! Please, don't take that out of it's cage!" Blathers shouted immediately as he held himself tightly with his wings.
"Haha! At least I'm the only one who's afraid of Luna!" Exclaimed Punchy happily. Luna barked at him. This time he jumped into Lukas's arms. Lukas rolled his eyes and carelessly dropped Punchy onto the ground. "Oof! You can be more sensitive you know, Lukas!"
Later, at Nook's store, the five friends were bugging the crap out of the poor salesman.
"No, no, no, no. I will never allow you to get near the backroom. Besides, even if I needed help, I wouldn't ask you. Ken, yes. Luna, perhaps. Lukas, sure. You, never going to happen." Nook carelessly explained to Dizzy who had asked if he could get a job as his assistant, or organize the backroom. Dizzy started to try to convince Nook, with no avail.
"What if I just organize the shelves then? Or I could handle the cash register?"
"NO! Even less! No one touches the cash register!" Nook yelled grabbing hold of his precious cash register. Punchy laughed and took a lollipop from the counter. "You'll have pay for that."
"Aww, but you loooove me! You wouldn't make your true love pay, would you?" Punchy said smiling sweetly with big puppy dog eyes.
"Yeah, no. Pay up, now." Nook extended his hand. Punchy pouted, but payed. Meanwhile, at the back of the store, the other three- Stinky, Luna, and Lukas- were sneaking about doing nothing bad in particular, just spying.
"Say, is Punchy, you know...uh, well, you know." Stinky said – or tried say. Lukas looked on confused. Luna laughed loudly, almost losing their cover.
"Haha, I wish!" Luna giggled. Stinky rolled his eyes. "Then again, I'm not sure..."
"Explain what you guys are talking abou-" Lukas half-asked.
"He asked if Punchy was -" She didn't finish, for she started into another giggle-fit. Stinky rolled his eyes and whispered what he meant into Lukas's ear. Lukas blushed.
"Oh, haha, you gonna have to ask him yourself. I wouldn't know." Lukas said nervously. "he's never had a- a girlfriend, but-" Lukas then joined Luna in the crowd of giggles. Stinky rolled his eyes.
"Both of you guys are just...damn." Stinky said before he, too, joined them. By then, their cover was completely blown and Punchy, Dizzy, and Nook made their way toward them.
"You better not be messing with my products." Nook said as he looked around. Seeing that there was nothing wrong he walked back to his register. Dizzy, concerned over their non-stop giggling asked if they were okay. The only response was "My tummy hurts!" from Stinky.
"Are you guys on something?" Punchy asked trying not to giggle with them. Dizzy and Punchy looked at each other and shrugged. Stinky moved his foot, which tripped Punchy, who fell on Stinky, causing everyone to stop, then continue laughing even harder. Punchy blushed as he tried to get off of Stinky, who wasn't much help with his moving around laughing and holding his stomach.
After they all finally stopped laughing, Punchy and Dizzy demanded an explanation. "It doesn't even matter," Stinky said having one last giggle escape his lips. Punchy pouted. "You pout too much," Stinky said smiling sweetly, the pain in his stomach finally gone. Punchy blushed.
"Ah! Just tell me!" Punchy said, losing patience. Stinky looked at Luna who smiled devilishly, and then at Lukas who shrugged.
"I really don't think you want to know, though..."
"Just tell me! I don't care what it is! You know I don't like it when people keep secrets from me!" Stinky sighed and whispered the question that he, Luna, and Lukas were wanting answered into Punchy's ear. "Ah! Why would you ask that! I-I-I ugh! I'm not answering that! Why did you tell me!"
"You asked! And if you don't answer, you know what impression that'll give us," Luna said, biting lip so to not laugh again. "But fine, you don't have to answer now. Heehee. " Punchy crossed his arms. It was the third time he blushed today. "Let's forget it," Luna laughed once more. "Let's go to the city! I want a shoe shine!" They looked down at their shoes and nodded.
They made their way from Nook's shop to the bus. On the way, Dizzy bumped into a tree, while he was taking about how beautiful the sky was. When they reached the bus station, they were all surprised to see the bus already there, and worse yet, no driver.
"Uh, is it me still dizzy from the tree, or is the bus here without Kapp'n." Dizzy asked rubbing his head.
"No, it's not you. That is so weird. How often does this happen?" Luna asked the others.
"It doesn't happ-" Lukas half-answered.
"Yeah never. You're right it is weird. HELLOO!" Punchy yelled. "Kapp'n where are ya! Hmm... maybe we should go back to the museum and go the the café, he might be there."
"Good idea Punch. Let's go." Lukas said, a little late for the others were already on their way. He shook off his surprise and ran after them.
Once they were close the others stopped and waited for Lukas, who still hadn't caught up. "Today certainly has been weird. The weirdest part was Punchy having a good idea." Luna said laughing. Punchy gave a look and laughed sarcastically. They entered the museum and noticed something even weirder. "Where is Blathers?" Luna asked. Before anyone even had a chance to answer Stinky ran into the café. He came back shortly after.
"Better yet, where is Brewster?" Stinky asked no one in particular. "Something really weird is going on... Weren't they just here? I-I'll be right back." With that, he ran out of the museum and headed southwest of the town. The others looked at each other for answers, but they each just shrugged. While they waited, they split up and searched each of the exhibits. "Hey... you guys" Called a voice from the lobby of the museum. The others ran to see Stinky with his hands on his knees, catching his breath. "None of the...the... The Town Hall... Nook's shop... The Able Sisters... no one... whew!" Lukas let him lean on him while he caught his breath. The others looked at each other stunned.
"Unless there was some sort of town meeting, I don't think this should happen," Dizzy said. The others looked at him, stunned.
"You- you're a genius! We were totally ridiculous! Of course, a town meeting!" Luna said, almost speechless by Dizzy's random intelligence.
"We should make sure... they have never had a Town Meeting without telling me... I'll assist you," Said a voice that belonged to a boy who was at the doorway of the museum; with blond hair, hazel eyes, and wearing his famous tan trench coat...
Note: Haha, I'm horrible at cliffhangers, I know, sorry! I really love this chapter, don't know why though... I was listening to "Johnny I Hardly Knew Ya'" by Dropkick Murphys through most of this... now I want to write a Happy Tree Friends story... I don't know you decide. :)
