A Goat's Tale: On the Way to St. Ives

By: M14Mouse

Summary: Dominic meets Goat on the way to his zord. And Goat? Well…he is Goat

Disclaimer: Don't own them.

"You know who you are looking for, right?" Theo said as he looked down at Goat, who stared at him with a look.

"Blah…"

"He is a funny looking guy in white."

"THEO!" Lily shouted.

Theo rolled his eyes.

"Okay…he is a blond-haired guy who is dressed in white…happy?" He said as he heard Lily humph behind his back.

"Blah…"

He scratched behind Goat's ear to get an impression.

"You understand, right? He is our teammate. He is possibly doing something crazy right now and he needs our help. So, go and find him and follow him for a bit to make sure he doesn't get into any trouble."

"Blah…"

"He probably doesn't know what to think of you. So, don't be insulted if he treats you like an idiot. He is funny like that."

"We still don't know what to do about Goat, Theo," Casey said behind his back.

He sighed. Goat wasn't very complicated. He liked attention from others. He liked food. He liked to give presents. Goat is Goat. He didn't have any problems with Goat. Goat rubbed his head against his hand.

He smiled slightly as he pulled away from Goat.

"Trust your instincts. You know that it is always safe. Leave and get me. One more thing…don't eat him. He probably doesn't taste very good either."

He heard a laugh behind his back.

"Theo," Lily said with a giggle.

What? It is probably true.

-JFJFJF-

Dominic looked up at his map and frowned. He blinked for a moment. A little white and black goat was standing in front of him. He was wagging his tail like he was excited to see him. Where in the world did the goat come from? He didn't notice him there.

"Well…hey, little guy. What are you doing here?" He said as he leaned over and scratched the little goat's head.

The goat just wagged his tail more.

"You know that it is dangerous here."

"Blah…."

The little goat rubbed his head against his hand. He smiled a little before removing his hand.

"Well…keep out of trouble, okay? There are bad things here," He said as he started to walk away. After a few minutes of silence, he heard something behind him. He tilted his head to see the goat behind him.

"Huh….It will be good to have company," He said as he turned back around.

"You know…you aren't the first goat that took up following me. I had a whole herd of them follow me in South Carolina. Man, you wouldn't believe how many goats were there. But there are tons of them. Fat little guys too…not that you are fat. Hehe. But the fainting goats…man, everything set them. A loud bang and those guys were on the floor."

He stopped for a moment and turned around.

"You aren't one of those goats, are you?"

The goat just wagged his little tail and he turned away and started walking again.

"Okay…thought so. Anyway…no offense…those goats are hilarious. So, where are you from? Someone is probably missing you. My friends are looking for me. Not that you know who they are. Still…it is nice to know that someone is looking for you, right?"

"Blahhh…"

"Totally agree, man. You know…you are one awesome goat. If you stick around long enough, I will introduce you to the others. You will probably flip out Theo. He is all for order and neatness. Goats are totally not that."

He felt something tug at his shirt. He turned around and looked down at the goat.

"What?"

The goat looked at him and then over his leg. He turned around to see Rin-Shi popping out of the forest.

"Thanks…you better leave…not good for you to be here," He said as he glanced over his shoulder. The little goat was gone.

Good…

Now, he can focus.

-JFJFJF-

"How did you guys find me?" Dominic said.

"You mean beside your zord…Goat." RJ said with a shrug.

"Goat?"

RJ waved his hand over his shoulder. He looked over to see the familiar goat sitting next to Theo. Theo was lazily patting in the goat's head while reading a book.

"You guys have a goat? Since when?"

"That isn't our goat. It is Theo's goat."

He blinked for a moment in confusion.

"Theo has a goat? What?"

RJ shrugged.

"Theo adopted him….kind of."

"So, what is his name?" He said in confusion. His mind is still trying to wrap around the thought of Theo and a goat.

"Goat."

"Not very original, huh?"

"Oh, Goat is original enough as he is…trust me," RJ laughed.

He looked back over at Theo and the goat.

What in the world was that supposed to mean? Goat couldn't be that bad…could he?
