This is the 43rd chapter of the story. While I'm busy in updating the stories, I'm also making use of my time to research more about Siam, the Rattanakosin Kingdom and other archives that were linked to monarchies since I wanted to keep my memory about Splero refreshed. Anyway, enough with the crap and here's the new chapter, everyone!

The sun starts to rise over the horizon but the trio were still asleep. While Judy and Michelle were still out, Chimpan kept on twisting and turning on his bed. He's actually having a nightmare.

"No, Michelle! Don't give up. You will make it!" - Splero's voice echoed on his head -

Chimpan started to be overwhelmed.

"Sire, she's already gone!" - Nick's voice echoed on -

"NOOO!"

Splero's loud nightmare scream woke Chimpan up with an extreme adrenaline rush. The monkey was virtually panting heavily in his wake. He looked on his surroundings and he let out a sigh of relief.

"Gah! What a bad dream." - Chimpan said to himself -

He then look on his wristwatch and it reads 5 AM. Chimpan got up and do some morning stretching.

"Time to do the work then." - Chimpan remarked -

After he fixed his bed and himself, he went out the room to check Judy and Michelle. He opened the door and the duo were still sleeping. Quietly, he went down the stairs and to the kitchenette. He prepared a chinaware teapot so that he could make some tea. While the tea was being heated, Chimpan took out a pack full of wheat bread and some butter. With a bread knife, he made a few slices from the loaf and places the slices on a toaster. As he pressed the button down, Chimpan gazes out a window and sees that the flagpole was vacant. Letting a groan, he sighed.

"There goes it again." - Chimpan said -

...

Just a few minutes after Chimpan woke up, Judy and Michelle finally woke up from their sleep. As the rabbit yawned, Michelle got up and stretched her paws out.

"Morning, Michelle." - Judy greeted -

"Morning, Judy. How's your night?" - Michelle replied back with a question -

"It was fine. How's yours?" - Judy responded -

"Same as well." - Michelle replied -

She then opened the window blinds and the sunlight shined on the room. As the light illuminates the room, Michelle could see Chimpan hoisting a flag on the flagpole.

"Hey, look. Chimpan's up early." - Michelle said -

"Really? What does he doing?" - Judy asked -

"He's just hoisting a flag." - Michelle replied -

Judy got up and took a peek out the window. Chimpan raises the flag on the flagpole as he pulled the ropes in. The flag that was fluttering on the top was a red rectangular type with the white shield-shaped seal of Splero's de facto empire. After he raised it, Chimpan bowed down with deep seated respect.

"How patriotic." - Judy grinned -

Michelle snickered.

"Well, that's his true "dogmatism" alright." - Michelle said -

Michelle and Judy then watched Chimpan entering back in a dash. The smell of toasted wheat bread hits their noses.

"Man, that smells good!" - Judy said -

"Come on, Jude. I think Chimpan made us some breakfast." - Michelle added -

They then went out the room and went to the kitchen.

...

Chimpan was busy in coating the toasted bread slices with butter when the female rabbit and white arctic vixen appeared.

"Hey! Morning, guys." - Chimpan greeted -

"Heya, Chimpan." - Michelle greeted back -

"I got something to say." - Chimpan said -

"What is it?" - Judy asked, curious -

"Just a nightmare. Good thing I woke up early." - Chimpan replied -

"Is it serious?" - Michelle asked -

"Not quite." - Chimpan reassured -

The telephone then ringed.

"Guys, why don't take some breakfast goodies that I made. I'll take the phone call." - Chimpan said -

As he went to the living room, Judy and Michelle started eating.

"These were the best indeed. I never had tasted it since." - Judy said -

"Since when?" - Michelle asked -

"Since I ate with Wilde on my side a few weeks ago." - Judy replied -

Michelle grinned.

"What?" - Judy asked -

"Nothing." - Michelle replied, holding back a teasing look on her face -

"You look like your hiding something. Spit it out." - Judy said, grinned -

Chimpan returned.

"Guys, Chief Bogo called." - Chimpan said -

"What's wrong?" - Judy asked -

"He told me that if we're all going to work in the ZPD again, we'll pay a visit for Splero and Wilde in the hospital first." - Chimpan replied, rubbing his hand on his nape -

"That will be a opportunity, Chimpan." - Michelle said -

"Yeah. A good opportunity to check on our friends there." - Chimpan added -

Judy and Michelle nodded.

"Finish up eating, guys. I'll take care the rest later on." - Chimpan requested -

With that said, the duo continued on eating.

This is the end of Chapter 43. Well...This chapter is a bit...normal in such a way I ever anticipated. Anyway, stay tuned for the next chapter, everyone. May The Splerai Reigns!
