********** "King? What are you doing here?" I asked. King turned around and faced me "Oh uh...I just came over to ask Peanut and Grape to watch you. I have a club meeting I need to go to and a few other things I need to do, so-" "So we're going to watch you to help out King" Grape chimed in. "Oh...OK" YES! "I'll be back to get you later" King said before leaving. The room got silent with Peanut and Grape looking at each other then me. "Sooo..." "Continue where we left off?" Peanut asked, pointing to the Wii. "You know it" I said happily. Peanut turned on the Wii, loaded our save point and grabbed 2 controllers. ******* Several Levels Later ******* We were nearing the end of the game, all three of us taking turns playing. If someone died you had to pass the controller to whoever didn't have one. Peanut had already died like 5 times, where me and Grape only had a few deaths. At the moment it was me and Grape playing, until I was killed from a falling enemy. "Aw man. OK, your turn Peanut" I said handing him my controller. "Finally" he said. "If you didn't die so much you'd be able to play more" Grape commented. Peanut turned to Grape, "If those ninja goomba's would just have left me alone I would have been fine!" Peanut lost a life from his lack of attention to the game, his eye twitching. He slowly handed me the controller back. "Why don't we have a lunch break?" Grape suggested. "Sounds good to me!" Peanut said jumping up and off the couch. "Oh, I guess I'll go home and eat too" I slide down off the couch. "Don't be silly, you can eat here. I'm sure Mom and Dad won't mind" Grape said leaving the room. "Mom! We have a quest over, can he eat lunch with us?" I heard Grape say. "Sure honey, why don't you introduce me first." "Alright." Grape reentered the living room with a woman, which I assumed was her owner. I didn't think pets would call their owners Mom and Dad...(A/N I'd give details about their Mom but the pet's owners faces are never shown in the comic :s) "Mom this is Shadow, he's new to the neighborhood." Grape said walking over to me. Mrs. Sandwich walked over and leaned down to me ( I read their last name off the mailbox). "You are just the cutest little thing" she smiled. "Uh, thanks" I said nervously. Still trying to get used to this cute thing... "Let's go to the kitchen and get you all something to eat!" Mrs. Sandwich said walking to the kitchen. ************ "Thank you for lunch" I said to Mrs. Sandwich. "Oh your welcome" she smiled. "I have to get back to work now, so you guys play nicely now" she said before leaving the room. "Let's go back and finish the game" Peanut said. "You mean, let me and Shadow finish the game. You just died and lost your turn" Grape said. "Peanut can have my turn, I don't mind." "Thank you Shadow" Peanut said sticking his tongue out at Grape. We all headed back to the living room. "He's just going to die again, Peanut has never been to good at Mario." Grape remarked. "I'll show you!" Peanut said grabbing the controller and unpausing the game. **********
