Michel & Josette

Chapter 16: Josette Gets a Pet

Michel was outside, journeying through the wonderful Paris, France once again, hoping to run into Josette! He looked everywhere for the lady, but didn't find her in those usual spots.

Fortunately, he found her in a pet store!

Michel entered the pet store, wondering why Josette was there. She was over at the puppies and was cooing and whatnot at them because of how cute they were.

Michel began to wonder if she would ever coo at him that way in life. It'd be nice. Well, to him it would.

"Josette?" Michel spoke up from behind her.

Josette whipped around, her eyes narrowing at the sight of him. "What the heck are you doing here, Morris?" she questioned him suspiciously. She really sounded suspicious this time.

Michel frowned in annoyance, folding his arms over his chest and giving Josette a narrow eyed look. "My name is Michel! Call me that! I don't see why you insist on purposely getting my name wrong!"

Josette rolled her eyes. "I told you, it's too hard to pronounce."

"It is not!" Michel retorted.

"Oh, yes it is!"

"You're impossible!"

"You complain too much!"

"You know what? I'm going to stop arguing with you right now!" Michel exclaimed loudly with a shake of his head. "What are you doing here, huh? Looking for a pet?"

Josette frowned at him, but shrugged. "Yeah, something like that. I can't decide on what I want though," she responded. "Well, what are you doing here? Are you here picking up food for Mew?"

Michel shook his head. "I was looking for you!"

"Of course you were, you stalker."

"I'm not a stalker, I swear!" Michel protested with a shake of his head, looking absolutely horrified.

Josette rolled her eyes again and went on over to the cats in the pet store. An orange furred feline caught her eye and she thought it looked adoringly cute! She smiled at it brightly. "Oh! What a cute kitty!"

Michel looked and smiled. "Are you getting that one?"

Josette nodded. "Yup! And it says here that it's a boy!" she pointed at the sign next to it. "I'm going to name it Firestar!"

"Firestar?" Michel looked a little perplexed. "Where'd you get that name from?"

"I got it from a book called Warriors. It's actually a long series. Firestar is my favorite character in it! The books are all about cats!" Josette responded quickly, getting a person's attention.

[Later]

Josette exited the pet store while holding a small cage with the orange cat in it. Michel was right beside her.

Michel was grinning hugely as they walked. It was so incredibly fortunate that Josette got a cat, now they both had cats!

"This is amazing!" Michel sighed happily.

"Eh? Why is that, Murray?" Josette questioned him, looking at him from the corner of her eye.

"Because we both have cats now!" Michel answered. "We both have something in common now and that's amazing!"

"I don't see what's so amazing about that, Mushu," Josette shrugged in an uncaring manner, cooing down at Firestar in his cage. He was sleeping and seemed to look quite content.

"It's Michel…" Michel muttered.

"Okay, Myer," Josette rolled her eyes.

"You're never going to get my name right, are you?"

"Nope!"

Michel introduced his hand to his face.
