Of Mice and Dragons ch.7
I OWN AND REGRET NOTHING!
…...
Stan coughs to get everyone's attention. "Right, if your quite done; let's start your training mouse." He says as he gestures at the unbelievably lethal obstacle course.
Dipper pales then bows respectfully. "With all due respect Master Stan...I believe that doing that immediately will kill me...maybe I could start with something more my level?"
Stan shakes his head. "Kid this ain't amateur night at the improv lot; this is the Jade Palace. Either step up or get lost." Dipper hesitates for a moment then nods.
"Very well then." He takes a deep breath, looks at the course, takes a running leap- And The 5 are treated to the horror of watching a little mouse be repeatedly ripped to pieces for 9 hours straight.
How is he not dead?
Is the common thought that goes through all their heads...
…...
As the five head to sleep they mainly kept silent...Wendy sighed. "Alright let's just get to the elephant in the room: What do we think about this mouse?"
Lee shrugged. "As a rule I always try to be nice to people of my size...Or in this case...Less than my size...Besides we all kinda stepped on him. Frankly, I'd like to think some common courtesy is in order!" Snaps the Bug passionately!
Robbie then takes his turn. We'll "like everyone else, I was irritated when the title of Dragon warrior was passed to a mouse...I mean who wouldn't find that insulting? After all our years of hard work!?" The others nodded in agreement.
Then Robbie tilted his head in deep thought. "On the other hand...He was just as skeptical as everyone else...And made it very clear that he felt we were more deserving of the title...I'd be lying if that didn't endear me to him a bit...And really he's just taking advantage of a great opportunity...Something I'd probably do myself if the situation were reversed...I'm willing to wait and see with this one, I guess." He said with a shrug.
Nate nodded, and began. Well...He seems like a nice kid...Polite...Humble...Takes Kung-fu seriously...he's a fan but doesn't go overboard with it...Yeah, an okay kid I'll say-"
"That's great and all." Interrupts Tambry suddenly. "But aren't we all forgetting the fact that this boy is in way over his head, and is probably going to get himself killed!?" Stated Tambry concerned.
There was a quick chorus of: "Oh, yeah", "definitely", "was just getting to that", and "How is he not dead?" from the rest of the five...Except Wendy. Who was being rather conspicuous in her silence.
The others looked at her. "And you, Wendy? What do you think?" Asked Tambry. Wendy said nothing...She just walked away.
…...
Dipper groaned as he did final inventory on his organs and bones. "I'm in excruciating pain." Thought Dipper to himself.
As he limped to his room he said to himself: at least the hawks can't try and eat me here. Thought Dipper to himself right before he was snatched up by two giant hands...
