Chapter 4. Have fun :))))))

Big cat lost

A slight pain in his back woke Steve up. He opened his eyes, recognising that he had must fell asleep on the hard wooden floor. The middy sun danced over his face, making his sleepy eyes hurt.

Steve sat up and tried to stand up, when he heard a quiet moan. He looked down his feet, seeing Shira still lying ontop of him, nestling her head against Steve´s legs.

"Awww, she looks really cute when she is asleep. Like a big, soft stuffed animal.", he thought while he stroked over her neck, crowling her a bit.

Again he felt his hurting back. Sleeping on the floor with a saber on top isn´t really comfortable at all. Slowly he tried to move his legs, not wanting to wake her up from her sweet sleep.

But he failed and slowly she opened emarald eyes, starring at Steve´s.

"Good morning … sorry I mean good midday", Steve said to her, removing his hand from her.

Again Shira let out a small moan, this time a bit louder than before.

"Can … can you please keep on. That … that feels very good.", Shira pleaded as quiet a possible. Steve recognised how hard it was for her to say these few words and of course he fulfilled her wish. It was clear that she was still very sad and everything he wanted was that she feels better.

"Do … do you want to hear something funny?", Steve asked, when he made a short break from crawling her neck.

Shira didn´t answer so he just started to tell her the story, hoping that she will get her mind of the "stucking in this world" problem.

And immediately after finishing telling her the story, the sadness was replaced by a cheerful laughter.

"Wait wait wait … Diego really kissed Sid. Sid the sloth?!", Shira asked excited.

"Yeah, really. Directly on his mouth.", Steve answered with a big grin on his face.

"Oh my god that´s so ugly. And he always said I´m the first one he had kissed.", she said sarcastic, putting a fake angry face on.

After 5 minutes of laughing, rolling on the floor, Shira managed to calm down.

"T-thanks. I re-really needed t-that.", she thanked Steve while still laughing a bit.

Steve, who also laughed because of Shira´s special way to laugh, calmed down too.

"Hey, no problem. Everytime you want again. And I have lots of other funny stories too. Do you want to hear them. If you want I can tell you stories about Diego and the others the whole day.", Steve said.

'I really should become a comedian. I mean which human can tell that he made a saber tooth smile?', he thought.

"N-no thanks. I think that´s enough for one day.", Shira answered, still gasping for air.

A short silent appeared during booth of them stared at each other, trying to read each others mind.

Steve´s thoughts: A saber and a human are laughing together … in 2013! I´m sure nobody would believe this. Even I don´t….

Shira´s thoughts: I can´t hold it anymore. I can´t hold it anymore. I can´t hold it anymore… .

"I´m sorry for asking but … I drank lot´s of water yesterday so where can I … you know?", Shira asked a bit ashamed.

Steve didn´t know what she wants so he just stared expectant at her, waiting that she would finish her sentence. Finally Shira patience was at the end.

"Oh my god. Is it too hard to understand this. Where can I go pee?", she said, wondering how stupid Steve is. She really hate it to say this word.

"Oh sure. I´m sorry. I´m sorry. Ahhh, I think you should go in the garden", he answered.

Shira stand up and started to walk to the door.

"Was that so difficult. You are a very stupid human.", she teased Steve in her normal, clear commanding voice. Steve still just sat on the ground, watching her.

Shira moved on and finally arrived at the door. She tried to push the door handle like Steve did before, but for her soft paw the metal was too slippery. Finally she gave.

"Can you please open it.", she asked annoyed.

"Well I think the stupid human can help you.", Steve answered and opened the door with one simple movement.

Without saying a word she followed Steve outside the room. They walked down the stairs and through some rooms. Sometimes Steve heared Shira whispering some words like 'oh my god' when they entered new areas.

"This must be very interesting for you or?", he asked behind to her.

"Yeah.", she said, while looking at the new things she had never seen befor.

Finally they arrived at the door. Steve opened it and a warm wind blow inside the house.

Shira rembered the smell of fresh, clear air immediately, even it was much hotter then in the ice age.

"Huh. It´s really hot out there.", she said confused. She had never felt so hot temperatures around her body. Well exept when Diego held her tight at night.

"Yeah, it´s summer and summers are usually very hot in 2013.", he answered, looking at the small garden infront of the house.

"I think you should go there.", he pointed with his fingers at a place, after a while of watching the garden. Butterflys and bees where flying everywhere, dancing in the air.

Shira walked out of the house and stopped after a few steps when she saw that Steve still was looking at her

"Close the door!", she demanded.

"Yeah yeah.", Steve quickly answered and closed the house door.


One kilometre away from Steve´s house. A Van drove down a street into the direction of Steve´s house. Two persons were in it, frantically talking to each other.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck … . Jack will rip out our heads when he sees that we had lost the talking ape. And that´s just because you didn´t close the fucking door of the cage. Is it too difficult for you to press this little metal pin down before leaving the cage alone.", a thin man with shoulder length, black hair shouted angrily at an other man, who has a bit overweight and a glaze.

The thicker man, who is driving the car, bite in his large Mc Donald´s burger and wiped his sweat from his head.

"I´m sorry Dan but I was busy with … something else", the fat man said to his front-seat passenger.

"Oh, so big Baby Bobby was busy with something else? Let me guess. You bought this burger while I were at the toilett, although you knew you should guard the talking ape in his cave. How will you explain to Jack, that we, sorry I mean you, lost the ape? I don´t think he will like your Mc Donalds story.", Dan said to Bob, nearly shouting.

Bob kept on eating his burger in silent.

"So what´s your plan "Mr. I stay cool".", Dan asked. He was nearly exploading inside his body.

Bob let down the window of the car and held his hand outside like a trucker.

"Well, I think I will do … nothing. It´s Jack´s problem, not ours.", he answered calm and took another bite of his burger.

"Nothing?! You will do nothing?! Are you serious?", Dan asked out of his mind.

Bob swollowed and let out a quick "Yep" and he took another bite of his burger, smacking very loud. Finally it was too much for Dan

"STOP EATING THIS FUCKING BURGER!", Dan shouted and took Bob´s burger and threw it out of the car.

"Mmmhy Babyyy!", Bob shouted, spitting some parts of his burger out of his mouth and pressed the brake as hard as possible.

He opened the door and jumped out of the Van, looking for the burger.

Dan, his head chrashed against the front window, rubbed his hurting head.

"Come back fatso. It´s just a stupid burger.", Dan shouted to Bob, who looked on the street for his burger.

'Why have I always to work with this stupid ass?', Dan asked himself, while watching where they are. The Van was standing directly in the middle of the street and on both sides of the street were houses.

Dan thought´s: A white house, a pink house, a purple house, a green house, a white house with black stripes and a pink nose, a yellow house, … wait. A white house with black stripes and a pink nose?!

Dan looked again and of cours it was not a house which was white with black stripes. Infront of a garden he saw saber tooth. A real saber tooth. Dan rubbed his eyes in disbelieve.

'May this was a bit too hard chrash for my head.', he thought while rubbing his still hurting head. But as he opened his eyes again the saber still was there.

"May we don´t bring Jack a talking ape but how about …", Dan talked to himself, thinking the rest of the sentence inside his head.

Finally Bob entered the car again, holding a burger with lot´s of dirt in his hands.

"It´s just a bit dirty but i- … .", Bob said while entering the car again but Dan interrupted him.

"Shhhhh … look.", Dan held his hand on Bob´s mouth and pointed with his finger at Shira, who still was looking for a good place for her busines.

Bob put Dan´s hand down and was about to reply something when he saw her too.

"Oh my god. … She´s so beautiful. I had never seen such a beautiful animal before. Her muscular legs, her shining white pelt, her sharp teeth an-"

*PPPaaammmm* (a shot)

Shocked of the sudden noise Bob let his burger fall again and looked at Dan, who held a rifle in his hand and at Shira´s direction.

Quickly Bob looked back at the Sabertooth, who was already lying motionless in the grass.

"W-what have you d-one", Bob said in shock, looking at the moitenless body.

Dan put the rifle under his seat and opened his door.

"That was just a stunning shot.", he said back to Bob, who still sat inside the Van.

"Now come on and help me, or should I carry her alone.", Dan completed and already reached Shira´s body.

Slowly Bob exited the car too.


Steve, he wanted to drink something in the kitchen, let his glass fell to the ground, when he heared a shot outside.

He froze for some moments but luckiely not for a long time. He jumped over the broken glass and ran as quick as possible to the house door.

'Please, please let this nothing to do with Shira', Steve thought, hoping she´s alright.

He teared open the last door and ran out but it was too late. He saw a thin man carrying a motionless body inside a Van while an other man started the motor of a black Van.

Just a few seconds later the Van drove away, leaving Steve behind.

Steve ran as fast a possible behind the car but wasn´t able to get it.

"Shira! Shira! I will rescue you!", he shouted but the Van was quicker and Steve gave it up.

Luckyly he was able to read the Text on the Van.

"ExAnimalOtik – Exotic animals in your Proximity"

Here is it. Good? Bad? Let me know.
