A Goat's Tale: Meeting the Doc
By: M14Mouse
Summary: Silvia was in for quite a surprise when she saw Theo and a goat at her door step.
Disclaimer: Don't own them.
"Doctor…"
"Hmmm…" Siliva said as she turned away from her latest research to look at one of her assistants.
"There is someone here to see you," Greg said.
"Who?"
"I don't know…some kid with a goat. I told him that you didn't have time for him."
She heard a snort behind Greg. She looked behind him to see an unfamiliar face ….and a goat.
"How in the world did you two get in?" Her assistant shouted.
The other man just gave him a look. She almost giggled when the goat was staring at her assistant like please…that was easy. Want to see what else I can do?
Then she could see it. There was a glowish blue aura surrounding him then the faded outline of a jaguar. Her eyes widened slightly as she saw the outline of another animal….antelope. She shook her head. She didn't need to know anymore.
"You must be Theo. Casey told me about you," She said as she thrust her hand out. His eye brow rose slightly then he reached over and shook her hand.
"And Casey told me nothing about you except that you are a scientist. So you can do something about him?" He said as he pointed over his shoulder to the goat.
"He isn't yours?"
"No…he followed me."
Jordan coughed into his hand. Theo glanced over at him.
"Don't make me hurt you."
Her assistant looked at him like he was crazy.
"Seriously, I doubt that, sir."
Theo tilted his head then his glance moved from her assistant to something behind her. He looked back at her assistant and smirked.
She turned around to see the goat eating some papers from the counter top.
"That is my report, you stupid goat!"
The goat just tilted his head and blah at him. She covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing. Her assistant did something dim-witted by chasing a goat. The goat probably thought that it was a game. The goat bolted behind the counter then right behind Theo. Her assistant stopped in his tracks and Theo just stared at him.
"Your goat is a nuisance. You or it shouldn't be here!" Greg shouted.
"I could say the same thing about you."
"ENOUGH!" She shouted. She pointed to Greg then the door.
"We will talk later."
Her assistant grumbled as he left the area. She turned back to Theo, who smirked at Greg as his past. Then his face instantly returned to normal when he realized that she was watching.
"And you….why are you here?"
He waved his hand toward the goat.
"He followed me and won't go home. I have no clue why."
She tilted her head slightly and stared at the goat. IT was kind of funny that Theo had a goat stalking him. It wasn't rocket science on why the goat was following him. IT was drawn to his animal spirit…but there was something else. She just couldn't pinpoint it.
"It is drawn to your animal spirit. He thought that you were a fellow goat, I guess," She said with a slight smile.
Theo gave her an unhappy look.
"Not funny."
"I thought that it was hilarious. Did you check the local farms in the area?"
"That is the thing…there are no local farms. He seemed to pop out of nowhere."
"Hmmm…then what are you going to do?"
"I don't know…Find a vet first. To make sure the goat is healthy then find a home for it, I guess."
"That is sweet of you."
"I may not like it but I am not going to be cruel and leave it out in the middle of the nowhere."
She pressed her lips together. She was trying not to smile. She wasn't fooled by Theo.
"I know a very good vet. Let me get his number. But you might want to do something first…"
"What?"
"You might want to stop the goat from climbing up on the counters."
Theo turned around so fast that he almost knocked over a microscope.
"GOAT! Get down from there."
The goat gave him a look like he was crazy.
If she had a camera, she would have taken pictures of Theo trying to get the goat off the counters.
It was just that funny.
