Suta heard a ringing of
the doorbell. She ran to the door to answer it, and heard a strange
scraping. She opened the door, wondering who could be visiting them.
A green-skinned man with large red eyes, yellow sharp teeth, and
wearing a green shirt was standing just outside of the doorway. His
eyes looked over her, then his mouth opened to say,
"I like rusty spoons." Suta ran and jumped into the
next room, and landed in Luffy's arms. She quivered in fear as
Luffy reacted.
"na?" he asked,
then titled his head questioningly. Suta was staring at the door, and
Luffy looked up. The green man/thing was walking in, looking around.
"Might I inquire, as to where you
keep your spoons?" it asked. Luffy's eyes glazed over, then
sparkled excitedly, and he yelled,
"SUGEEHHH!!" It shrank back, but continued to watch them.
Suta was still shivering, and Luffy looked down at her. Luffy put
Suta down on her feet carefully, then started stretching his muscles.
"you wanna fight?" It shook it's head, then asked again,
"where are
your spoons?" Luffy paused, then stopped.
He pointed to the
kitchen. It walked in it's funny little way through the door, and
Luffy followed it. As soon as it was in the kitchen, it made a happy
noise then walked over to the spigot. It placed it's pointer finger
on the spigot, and made a disappointed noise. Luffy watched it,
wondering what it was doing, and it walked over to a drawer and
opened it.
"no spoons here." it
moved to the next one, and opened it. The drawer was full of
utensils. It grinned, then frowned when it realized that there were
no rusty spoons. "I see. Then I must leave, but first, do you have
anything rusty?" Luffy shook his head no, it sighed a most sad
sigh, then walked out of the house. Suta was sitting in the corner,
watching it fearfully the whole time.
"He
scares me." She whispered to Luffy. Luffy sat down next to her, and
put his arms around her.
"He's
gone now." He whispered back to her. Then, ever so slowly, he
inched his face closer to hers. Closer, closer. Then, their lips met.
