******* Pete's House *******
I woke up to the sound of a TV; I was in the living room. Checking my surroundings I noticed I was in a cat bed (which was quite large compared to myself) that had my name on it. And next to my bed was another Pet bed with King's name on it. Looking over to the couch I could see King watching TV.
Noticing I was awake, King said "Hey sleepy head, you slept right through dinner. Pete left your food in the kitchen for when you woke up."
"Oh, OK" I replied, heading off into the kitchen. I saw my bowl on the table, and remembered I couldn't get to it. I walked back into the living room. "King, Could you uh, give me a boost?"
"Sure."
I ran back to the kitchen, King in tow. King picked me up and placed me next to my bowl.
"One more thing, can I have something to drink?" I asked.
King got a small glass off the counter and filled it with water from the sink. He placed it on the table next to my bowl. "Thanks."
"Yea" was all he said before returning back to the living room.
I ate in silence, which wasn't a good thing. I couldn't help but dwell on everything that had happened. I missed my family; I especially missed Mom's home cooked meals... C'mon Andrew, let's think of the Pro's it can't be all that bad. I won't have to go to school, No homework, No chores.... But I'd gladly do all that and more just to be back home. A Tear rolled down my cheek. I ate my food quickly, not wanting to dwell on the matter. When I was finished I was quite thirsty, I had trouble holding the glass (I had to wrap my arms around it just to keep it steady). I drank about half of the glass, Note to self; ask for smaller glasses, or better yet a kid's cup.
I got down off the table, and noticed a doggy door on the backdoor in the kitchen. Not really giving it much notice, I headed back into the living room to watch some TV with King. When I got there though, he was watching some boring TV show that I had no interest in. Maybe I can go talk to Pete. "King, where's Pete?" I asked.
"Probably in his study reading or something."
"Which room is his study?"
"I wouldn't disturb him; He never liked it when I bothered him." He replied, not taking his eyes of the television.
"Oh, OK..." I said, slumping down against the leg of the couch. Man, there's nothing to do in this house. I wish I could go back and see Peanut and Grape, they seemed like fun pets. Hmm, guess I could go explore the backyard. I jumped up and made my way to the kitchen, letting myself out through the doggy door. Oh man, King must have taken my scarf off. Oh well, I have fur now it shouldn't be too bad.
I surveyed the backyard, only to see a few plants, and just a vast sea of snow in every direction. I walked off the small slab of concrete by the door into the pure white snow. The Sun was starting to set, but I didn't really care. I know, I'll make a little army of snowmen!
******* One Snowman Army Later *******
A stood by and looked at my masterpiece. I made 3 rows of 2 snowmen for a total of 6 snowmen. I used some pebbles and rocks I found to give them all eyes and mouths. Wow, I had forgotten how much fun it was to play in the snow. I guess I got bored of it when Dad made me start shoveling the driveway...It was almost dark, but I didn't want to stop my fun. I'll build a few more then go back inside. I started making a new snowman, but King came out.
"There you are, you have to stop wondering off like that" King said coming over to me. "You better come inside before you catch a cold."
"But I want to finish my snow man" I whined. King roughly picked me up and carried me inside. "Hey, put me down!"
"You don't want to go to the vet do you?" King said, carrying me into the living room.
"The vet?"
"Yea the vet, where sick pets go to get treated and to get shots." King said laying me down in my bed. "You've had to have been there at least once."
"Why would I have been to the vet?" I asked.
"You mean, you never got your shots before?"
"Why would I need shots?" I said perplexed.
******* The Next Day *******
"Pete you can't do this! You didn't say anything about a vet yesterday!" I said, running away from Pete.
He snapped his fingers and I was suddenly in a travel cage, with the door already locked. Pete walked over and picked it up.
"I said you had to live like a pet, and part of being a pet is getting your vet shots so you don't get sick." He explained calmly.
"You are one sneaky...Man-bird-thing!" I said from inside the cage. I looked through the bars and saw King sleeping in his bed (I thought dogs were supposed to have good hearing!). "King you lazy dog, do something!" King's eyes perked up and his eyes slowly opened.
"King, I left you some breakfast. I'm taking shadow to the vet's, I'll be back soon." Pete explained, before walking out the front door. He snapped his fingers and we were suddenly outside of a vet building.
"This is so unfair" I said, clinging to the cage's bars like a prisoner.
Thanks for all the reviews everyone :)
