"Talking"
[Thinking]
Things Just Got Complicated
Chap 3
King just sat there staring at Peanut who at the time looked to be in deep thought. Not that he could blame him a lot did just happen in a very short time span. Peanut finally looked up at King with a smile.
"So you can stop and start time that is so cool!" Peanut just smiled at that. King hung his head low of course Peanut would just find it cool and not try to figure out why they had these powers. Figuring he would have to get Peanut to see the big picture he looked back at him with seriousness in his face.
"Okay Peanut we need to get things straight. First we have powers but can we control them?" King almost face palmed when Peanut responded. "Does it matter if we can control it?" Peanut asked tilting his head to the side. King had to hold back the urge to start screaming and took a deep breath.
"Yes it does we don't want you to randomly set a building on fire do we?" Peanut was about to respond but King beat him to it. "First of all can you do what you did last night again Peanut?" Peanut just kept staring at King trying to think of how the car caught on fire.
"Well all I really can remember was thinking about the car crashing into a wall and snap it caught on fire!" King just sat there and took the knowledge in but something didn't seem right with the story something had to be missing. "Peanut are you sure you didn't do anything else to make it happen?"
Peanut just put his hand to his chin and started to think of all that had happened that night. All he could remember was that he also snapped his finger…." Wait I also snapped my fingers when it happened! Peanut raised his hand and snapped his fingers to see what would happen.
All King had time to do was quickly drop to the ground and begin to roll around because his tail had just caught flames. "Ahh Peanut help me!" Peanut was freaking out he didn't mean to catch King's tall on fire he didn't know what to do but before he could freak out any more a voice came into his head. [You control the flame it doesn't control you] Peanut didn't have time to think about the voice or who it came from instead he reached his hand out and thought [come to me].
King stop rolling on the ground because the burning feeling was gone he turned to see if he even still had a tail. After seeing his little tail was still there just missing a couple of hairs he turned to see what Peanut had done but nearly fell down at the site that was before him. Peanut was standing there just like normal except for the fact that from the top of his shoulder to the end of his right was caught on fire.
"Peanut doesn't that burn you?" King was worried about his new friend's safety until Peanut started laughing. "This is so cool I can move the flames with my mind and it doesn't burn me I'm like my own personal flamethrower!" Peanut's face just brighten up as he made the flame leave his arm and started to shape like making a ball and started throwing it up in the air and catching it. He was so into his new found ability that he didn't notice King yelling his name.
"Peanut!" Peanut!" King kept trying to get his friend's attention but to no avail Peanut was just playing with his fire witch wouldn't have been a problem if it wasn't for the fact they were standing in the middle of the neighborhood.
Finally King had enough with Peanut not listening and decided to test a theory he had. "Peanut Stop!" King yelled while closing his eyes when he reopened them it was the way he thought it would be. Everything was stop including Peanut. The little dog just shook he head as he started to drag Peanut away from the road to the back yard of Mile's house.
King started to thank his lucky stars that the wolves were on one of their hunting trips so he didn't have to explain things he didn't really know how to explain. Seeing that they were in the clear he said "Go". Peanut started up again where he had left of playing with his fire until he felt a tapping on his shoulder.
When he turned to see who it was he finally realized he wasn't where he was a second ago. "Umm King did you move us again?" King was real close to snapping on Peanut but he couldn't really blame him it did feel good to stop time on his own and not by pure terror.
"Yes Peanut I did because you were throwing your fire around in the middle of the street what would have happened if someone saw?" Peanut just lowered his ears to his head and said "sorry I was too into the fire to think my bad."
King felt bad for making his new friend feel bad but there were more important things at stake here. He was about to start talking when he noticed that the sun was starting to set." Listen Peanut it's getting late and I'm starting to feel tired". Peanut just nodded because he too was feeling tired.
King seeing he still had his friends attention kept going "Now listen Peanut I need you to do me a favor."Peanuts ears perked up at the word favor. "What do you need?" King just let out a sigh because he knew this was going to be hard for Peanut to do but it had to be done.
"You can't tell anyone yet about our new powers." King was ready for Peanut to start yelling about not being able to use his powers but to his surprise he heard nothing. Looking up he saw peanut in the same thinking pose he was earlier.
Peanut just looked down at his friend and responded "I guess I could do that it would be a little weird walking up to mom and going hey look I make fire she probably freak." King was surprised at Peanuts response and sort of felt bad for not having that much faith in his friend but he was broken out of his thoughts by peanut talking again.
"Hey King do you think we could meet up tomorrow and discus what to do next" King just smiled at his friend and said "Yes Peanut we can." Peanut smiled friends said there goodbyes and headed home both wondering what would happen the next day.
He was getting ready for tonight he was just too excited he always got this way before he went out to the ally way. He was so into his thoughts he wasn't listening to the little voice talking to him. "Joey are you listening to me?" Squeak was trying to get him to listen but Joey always got this way before he went out to go role-play.
Joey finally realized Squeak was talking to him and smiled " sorry you know I always try to get into part before I go out" Squeak just rolled her eyes at this she loved her boyfriend but sometimes he was just so strange. "Then by all means get into your part." She had to admit she loved watching Joey start to get into character it was always funny to watch him start thinking to himself.
Joey just smiled and started to do his normal thing where he told himself he was a cat. [You are a cat, you are a cat, you are a CA] His thoughts were caught off by a small scream he turned to see what it was only to see Squeak with a look of pure terror on her face.
"Squeak what's wrong you looked scared to death?" Squeak just backed away from him and tried to find the right words. "You...your skin starte…started to move around an...and now you are a..a" Joey was starting to get worried about his girlfriend. "A cat!" Squeak finally had enough courage to say getting over her fear just a little bit realizing it was still Joey and he wouldn't hurt her.
Joey was confused he didn't understand what she meant until he saw himself in the mirror right next to squeak he almost fell over at what he saw. Instead of his normal ears lying on the side of his head his where now sanding up and pointy, his eyes now had slits in them and his nose was a lot smaller. But the most notable change was he fur had turn into a bright yellow.
Joey just stared at his reflection for what seemed like hours before he responded " This is so AWESOME!" At hearing her boyfriend's response Squeak face palmed so hard that the writer felt it.
