HELLO EVERYONE AND WELCOME TO THE NEWEST CHAPTER OF MY STORY! ENJOY!
DB, Penny, and the pets were sitting around the fire to relax. DB was sitting in his chair with his feet propped up on a log and was leaning back with a fishing hat over his eyes. He had a content smile on his face. Penny was sitting on a log with Bolt resting on her legs. Mittens was sitting beside them while Rhino was with the hybrids in a small fenced in area so they would be safe. Tim came out from the equipment tent looking very annoyed and carrying a log. "DB." DB flicked his hat from over his eyes, which were covered by sunglasses, and looked at Tim. "I think I know what those guys had planned."
"Huh?"
"They wanted to steal our nuclear hot dog cooker."
He was greeted by two different questions. Penny's was, "You guys have a nuclear hot dog cooker!?"
DB's was, "We still have those? I thought I had them all destroyed."
"You...aren't even curious about why they took it or how I thought they did that?"
DB looked like he was thinking about it for a few seconds. "No. Not really. The only thing they could use it for is either cooking hot dogs, or if they were to take the nuclear core out, they could use it for a power source for some sort of device. As to how you figured that, I'd say you looked for it, couldn't find it and that log has a message on there from them saying they had taken it. Am I right?"
"Yes. You are." Tim let out a sigh. "Why do I even try?"
"Now, onto the thing about them being around. I thought I had them all destroyed."
Tim shook his head. "No. Your order was to only have them no longer constructed since we had other things we had to power with the nuclear cores."
DB looked up for a moment in serious thought. "Ya. I guess you're right. My mistake." DB then shrugged and went back to his original position.
"Why would you guys even make nuclear hot dog cookers!?"
DB shrugged. "We had nothing better to do."
Tim shrugged. "It was before I joined the organization."
"And it was while I was a part of the scientific team. We really had nothing better to do." DB sat up and took his feet off of the log he had been using as a foot rest.
Tim took the log as a seat. "So, how exactly did you come up with making that?"
"Well." DB leaned forward in his chair and put his hands together. "We were just throwing out random ideas for different things to see who could come up with the craziest, most practical, or most random ideas. I suggested it as a thing to make hot dogs but be able to be used as a weapon if need be. The leader of the team liked the idea, so we went to work on blueprints for it, eventually getting them done. Though, it was after I had been promoted to seccond in command of the entire thing. I became the leadeer and helped them. We finally got it done. But, I soon realized we were running out of nuclear cores, so I put an end to their construction. That's it." He leaned back in his chair and put his hands behind his head.
Penny shook her head. "I can't believe you actually took time for that."
DB shrugged. "Ain't no worse than this government. I mean, they actually spent money to teach Chinese prostitutes to drink responsibly." (A/N: They really did. No joke.) DB shook his head. "That ain't even scratchin' the surface."
"But still. I would think you guys would have better things to do than make nuclear powered hot dog cookers."
DB shrugged. "Normally we do. Just, that particular day, we didn't. At least it didn't cost us hundreds of thousands of dollars to do so."
Tim then sighed and looked down. "Now how are we going to cook hotdogs?"
DB looked at him with a look that asked, 'Are you serious?' DB shhok his head. "We have a fire."
Tim looked up. "And?"
"We cook the hot dogs over the fire. Duh."
"How are we going to hold them over the fire to cook them?" DB sighed and stood up. He walked to a sapling and took out a pocket knife. He cut off three forked branches. He then cut off excess wood and sharpened the ends. He walked back over and handed the branches to the other two. "Ah. That's how."
A few hours later
Night had fallen and DB had fallen asleep in his chair in a position exactly like he had been at the beginning of the chapter. Penny and Tim were stargazing in a small clearing not too far away from the campsite. Tim pointed to a spot in the sky. "That is the big dipper. Or Ursa Major, the Big bear." He then moved his finger across the sky. "That is the little dipper." He then pointed southward. "That is Leo the Lion."
"How did you learn where all the constellations are?" Penny turned slightly towards him and he smirked.
"Well, we were taught to notice them so that we would be able to find out where we were by looking at the stars and knowing the time of year. This way we could always find our way to an entrance to a base easily." He turned towards her. He then turned back to the sky and chuckled.
"What?"
"It's just that, this would be a perfect second date if we weren't running for our lives from the feds." Tim let out another chuckle.
Penny chuckled herself. "you know. You're right." The two turned towards each other and began to lean in.
It was at this moment DB decided to make an appearance. "how are you two doing?"
The two jumped and blushed slightly when they turned to Db, who was leaning against a tree with a smirk. "You did that on purpose, didn't you?"
"I have no idea what you mean." DB used an obviously fake shocked tone.
"Why?"
"Maybe because of all the times you burst in on me and my girlfriend when we were about to kiss. Now you know how it feels."
Tim then tackled DB and the two were now roling through the forest. Leaving Penny by herself. She laid back down and stared at the stars. She then noticed a group that looked like Tim and DB fighting. She chuckled to herself and shook her head, listening to the sounds of those two fighting. "Those two act just like brothers." The sound of the fighting stopped breifly before it restarted, but with more people involved. It then stopped at the sound of a few gunshots. Running footsteps were then heard. Penny stood to her feet. Tim ran in. "Tim!? What's going on!?"
"Follow my lead." He dragged her by the arm to a tree. He handcuffed her to the tree and drew a katana in time for some officers to burst in. He put it next to her throat. "Don't come any closer!" He was a great actor, as his voice sounded like he was serious.
"We have a sniper ready to shoot you down. Drop the sword and he won't." Tim made it look like he was thinking about, looking between Penny and the officers. He finally threw the sword away. The officers moved in and arrested him. The one that had talked took off the handcuffs from Penny. "did they hurt you?"
"No." She shook her head as she watched them push Tim away. she was escorted to a car. Along the way, she noticed them taking some of the organization's equipment out of the tent that housed it. Out in the road, there were hundreds of officers. She was put in a regular car, while DB and Tim were put into a prisoner transport vehicle. The one she was in took off. The one that DB and Tim were in left with an escort of several vehicles and a helicopter overhead. She watched until they were out of sight. She then turned to Bolt, who was in there with her, along with the others. A single tear slipped out of her eye.
Sour turn. I know. Review.
