Calvin and Susie

By Samhoku

I do NOT own Calvin and Hobbes. Feel free to post idea's in the reviews, I might use them. I will now be using half my chapter for Calv and Susie, the other half is for Hobbes and Ruth.

Chapter

Susie won Bananagrams four times before Calvin gave up. They both ended up watching a movie. Susie asked curiously, "Why is Hobbes downstairs?"

Calvin looked at Hobbes and Ruth then commented, "Hobbes jumped on Ruth randomly, causing them both to fall down the stairs. Hobbes, in a strange mood swing, started cuddling Ruth."

Susie raised an eyebrow at Calvin then looked for a movie to watch, "Whatever you say Calvin." She put the movie in, this one was the third Lord of the Rings movie. They skipped the second one, that was both their favorites and they wanted to save it.

Calvin heard his cellphone ring and he opened it, "Hello, this is Calvin."

"Calvin? I am afraid I have some bad news. Your parents have been in an accident, you see they where on their way home. Your father tried to drive three hours right through to be home tonight. Well, he fell asleep at the wheel. They had a head on collision with a tractor trailer. Your mother is in critical condition. Your father...he didn't make it. I am sorry Calvin."

Calvin looked shell shocked, Susie gently took the phone from Calvin.

"This is Susie. Calvin's best friend, what happened?" Susie listened to the officer then said softly, "I will drive Calvin to see his mother. Thank you officer for calling." Susie hung up then gently shook Calvin's shoulders, "We have to go see your mom."

Calvin's eyes looked strangely empty as he sat there. He muttered a few words, "I never got to tell Dad that I loved him."

Hobbes crawled away where no one could find him and wept in the pantry. Ruth came in and hugged Hobbes, "Its okay Hobbes. Calvin's dad is in a better place."

Hobbes sobbed, "That doesn't help me any. His father gave me to Calvin when he was a baby."

Ruth petted Hobbes ears, "Its okay, I am so sorry."

Susie opened the door and saw both tigers drop to the ground, turning back into stuffed animals. Susie blinked then rubbed her eyes. She sighed and grabbed her purse off the doorknob then shut the door.

I cried in this chapter.
