Before I start this story, I have some words to inform you all. I apologize for the lack of updates on any of my stories. I have been busy watching shows such as Hilda and Garfield lately. I just finished Super Mario Wonder, Super Mario RPG Remake, and Sonic Superstars at the time of writing this. I am currently saving up money for games such as the Mario vs Donkey Kong remake. I also have been doing some drawings as well as making more friends in other places. I got to experience so much stuff I missed out as a kid such as Mario Strikers Charged and the Sonic Riders games that I haven't even gotten back to my writing hobby. What's even worse is that even when I do get back to writing, it's just the bare minimum. My original stories even suffered from this. Thankfully, I am on vacation now. So that can help make me get motivation back to my stories. Also, I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I can't believe 2024 is approaching. We will see Sonic 3 on the big screen. Enjoy this story. This is my first Hilda fanfic and it's a parody.
NOTE: This is based on the episode "King Nermal" from the Garfield Show.
(The episode begins above Johanna's house. Hilda was busy reading a book while Twig was taking a nap near the door. This was shortly lived, as the door was slammed open, squashing the deerfox and disturbing the girl.)
Tontu: Hiya, Hilda!
Hilda: (annoyed) What do you want, Tontu?
Twig: Mm-hmm… It's been only a few minutes since I started to live here. I was wondering. Have you ever been to a hotel?
Hilda: Not really. I don't even know if my mom went to those before. Can't say the same for my friends David and Frida. What gave you the idea to ask that?
Twig: Well, I had spoken to a few of my kind about them. The way they talked about them made me jealous. What are they like? I heard they are very clean.
Hilda: I think those places serve guests in the best way possible. They feed you, they clean you, they massage you, there are many servants of the people that stay there.
(After hearing that, Tontu had such a sneaky idea, it gave him a nasty smile that Hilda got confused by what he was doing.)
Hilda: Uh, Tontu? Are you ok?
Tontu: Uh, yeah! I'm fine! Just grinning about the last time someone of my kind got hit by a truck!
Hilda: (raises an eyebrow) And you think that's funny?
Tontu: Dude, I'm a Nisse. I rarely find any humor hilarious.
(Several minutes later, Hilda was busy taking a nap on the couch. Tontu decided to annoy her by poking her on the cheek. He put his plan into action, but not before laying a foot on Twig to get to Hilda's height. He kept repeating this for a number of times causing the blue haired girl to shove the creature onto a bookshelf.)
Tontu: Ow!
Johanna: Hilda! Don't do that to him!
Twig: (frustratedly) Bark!
Johanna: C'mon, guys, be nice to Tontu, and make him feel at home, OK? He is our guest. (She sets Tontu down and leaves him with Hilda and Twig)
Tontu: Oh boy! Aren't the three of us gonna have so much fun? (In response, Hilda slams the door on Tontu and storms away. Twig follows right behind. He mutters angrily as Tontu pokes his head through the door via portal, not to be deterred)
Tontu: Grrrr!
(In the living room, Hilda and Twig watch TV as they sit on the former's chair. On TV is a woman in a police uniform reading a letter)
Woman on TV: Really? (Hilda and Twig watch intensely. Twig looks like he is about to cry from this love story) Oh, but who? Who? (Behind them, Tontu reveals himself from behind the chair. Neither of the two notice him.)
Hilda: Yeah! Who? (Hilda looks down and bites her nails nervously. Twig turns to look at her) WHO? (Twig turns back to the TV as Tontu stealthily changes the channel) Crap! (She stares angrily at the creature, who holds the remote in his paw.)
Tontu: Ah, just in time for the ice skating (the camera focuses on the TV, showing a woman ice skater) international championship! (Focus returns to Hilda and Twig) I can't possibly miss it!
Hilda: Oh yeah? There! (He swipes the remote and changes the channel back. Tontu starts to cry, but then becomes furious at Hilda.)
Woman on TV: I want to see the face of the man who did it!
Tontu: Ugh! (He puts a paw to his face) You're no fun.
(Hilda and Twig both snicker)
(Tontu moans and blinks, cringing as he looks at his suitcase. Inside, Hilda and Twig head back to the living room when they hear something coming from outside.)
Tontu: Oh-ho-ho! My leg! (The two turn around. For a second, they look worried. Johanna walks in from the hallway.)
Johanna: Did you just hear someone screaming?
(Twig whimpers)
Johanna: Hilda! (They hear Tontu again crying for help, and they all turn to face the front door)
Tontu: Oh-ho-ho, my leg! (Johanna opens the door to see Tontu on the entrance gripping his leg in pain) I've sprained my cute, delicate leg! Oh-ho-ho-ho! (Wanting no part of this, Hilda and Twig try to slip away, but Johanna apprehends them before they can reach the living room.)
Johanna: Hilda! (The girl turns around to see an angry Johanna tapping her foot with a scowl.)
Tontu: Meow. Meow.
(Hilda chuckles nervously.)
Tontu: Meow. Purr
(Later, Johanna has bandaged up Tontu's foot and has set him on Hilda's chair, watching TV while the others settle with the couch)
Hilda: I can't believe Mom is giving Tontu the royal treatment! (Twig, who is sitting next to her, shakes his head frustratedly) That's just plain unacceptable.
(Twig barks in agreement)
Johanna: Cucumber sandwich! (She walks in with the aforementioned food toward Tontu)
Hilda: Ah, lunchtime. (She jumps on the table) I'm totally famished! (She hops on the table, hoping for some of her favorite food)
(Johanna scowls as she keeps the food away from Hilda.)
Hilda: Huh?
Johanna: No, Hilda. I don't think you deserve this after being so mean to Tontu. (She gives the sandwich to Tontu, which angers Hilda.) Here you go, little fella.
Tontu: Meow. (He stares at Hilda maliciously and eats the entire meal.)
Hilda: Ugh.
Tontu: Purr. Meow.
Johanna: If you need anything or if Hilda and Twig are not being nice, (She pulls a bell out and sets it on the empty plate) ring it twice and I'll come, OK?
Tontu: Mm-hmm. (He nods and glares at the others.)
(Johanna walks over to confront her daughter and her pet. By now, Twig is sitting on one of the chairs.)
Johanna: As for the two of you, (Hilda looks down sadly) I'm responsible for Tontu's wellbeing. He is a guest, and you'd better behave, or else you'll be grounded for the rest of the week! Capeesh? (glares at Hilda)
(Hilda nods nervously as Johanna leaves, her point having been made. Hilda and Twig then glare at Tontu.)
Tontu: (weakly) Twig, cough cough, Hilda, would you be so kind as to bring me a glass of water? (He blinks thrice) Cough cough My throat's all dried up. (Hilda roars furiously, like a lion, and pounces at him, but Twig swoops in just in time to intercept the girl in mid-air.)
Hilda: AAHHH! (She crashes on the ground. Twig struggles to hold her as she crawls toward Tontu, furious) Let me at him! Let me at him!
Tontu: Aha! (He pulls the bell out.)
Hilda: (After grunting in annoyance, she shakes her head and stops the pursuit. With Hilda calm, Twig hops off of her) Sure, Tontu. (sighs) C'mon, Twig. Eventaully, Tontu is gonna get tired of acting like this. (She heads for the kitchen, Twig right behind her, muttering angrily.)
(Later, a car passes Johanna's apartment. Inside, Twig gives Tontu a back massage and Hilda sulks up with a plate of milk and cookies. Both of them have sour looks on their faces. Anyway, Hilda sets the glass on the arm of the chair. Tontu drinks it but spits it out on Hilda's face in disgust.)
Tontu: This isn't even warm! How am I supposed to eat my cookies with COLD milk? (Hilda shakes furiously as her fists form as the milk drenches off her.) Ouch! You call that a massage? You're mauling my delicate fur with your claws. Try to be a little more careful, DOG!
Twig: Grrrr! BARK! (He resumes the massage)
Tontu: Can I have my cookie or WHAT?! (Hilda tosses the plate aside like a frisbee, and it crashes against something off-screen.)
Hilda: (sarcastically) Here, crawl and get it yourself, Your Highness! (She angrily storms out of the living room.)
(Twig mutters furiously as he gets off the chair and leaves. Slamming doors can be heard in the background. Hilda and Twig settle in her room.)
Hilda: That's it! I'm through taking care of "King Tontu"! Nothing will make me go back there! You hear? Nothing, Twig! (A timer dings nearby) Nothing! Nothing! Oh! (She and Twig turn to see Johanna pulling food out of the oven while she is humming. Both the girl and the deerfox get excited by this sight.)
Johanna: Hey, guys! I figured you deserved a little treat for taking good care of Tontu these past few days.
(They get interrupted by someone clearing their throat.)
Tontu: Hilda! Twig!
Twig: Moan…
Tontu: (continuing) Where's my hot milk?!
Hilda: OK, you get the cookies, I'll go get the milk.
(In the living room, Tontu waits for the sweet treats when he spies the plate of cookies that Hilda threw aside.)
Tontu: Oh! (He looks around to make sure no one is there, and then gets off his chair and runs over to the cookies, revealing his injury was an act. He pops a cookie into his mouth when Hilda and Twig enter with the milk and cookies respectively.)
Hilda and Twig: Gasp! (They see that they had been duped. Tontu, seeing the two, drops a piece of cookie and runs back to the chair, trying to play it cool.)
Tontu: Meow. (Hilda and Twig look at each other, realizing that they've been played.)
Hilda: You dirty little liar! You've been faking your injury all along, just to get royal treatment!
Tontu: And what if I did? You and Twig were so mean to me. Besides, you can't prove anything. (He hops in his chair.)
Hilda: You! (She and Twig toss their plates aside and angrily approach the conniving creature.)
Twig: Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! Bark! (Fearing for his life, Tontu rings his bell. Johanna runs in, plate of cucumber sandwich in hand.)
Johanna: HILDA, TWIG, BACK OFF! (The two turn to face her.)
Twig: Bark?
Hilda: (pointing at Tontu) Don't you see it's all an act?! He's faking!
Johanna: I don't want to hear it! Hilda, Twig, go to your room! You're GROUNDED! (They both hang their heads in anger as they sulk toward Hilda's room. Tontu is once again faking his injury, but when Hilda tries to let her mother know, Tontu resumes his act. This was enough for Johanna to glare at her daughter angrily and point them to her room. Hilda grunts and slams the door behind her. She opens it one more time to give one last warning to Tontu)
Hilda: You won't have to fake any more when I'm done with you, Tontu! (She slams the door again.)
(Tontu chuckles as Johanna rolls her eyes.)
Johanna: What am I going to do with that girl?
(Later, Tontu is loudly listening to the ice-skating championship. Hilda and Twig can't stand the music. Hilda keeps hitting her head against the wall and Twig hides under a pot.)
Hilda: I'll lose my sanity if I have to listen to one more minute of that stupid ice-skating music!
(Twig makes an annoyed grunt.)
Hilda: This is what we're gonna do.
Twig: Hmm? (Hilda whispers her plan to Twig. He nods. Hilda grins maliciously)
(As Tontu watched TV, he hears Hilda and Twig eating something in the kitchen)
Tontu: Hey guys, uh, what are you eating in there?
Hilda: (peeking out the door) Mm! This totally yummy chocolate chip cookie cake! Mmm! (Twig also looks at Tontu.)
Twig: Mmmm! Bark!
Tontu: Can I also have a piece?
Hilda: (Standing in the doorway) Of course, but Twig and I are grounded, remember? We can't leave my room. You'll have to come and eat it yourself. (She zips back out of sight. Tontu looks around him. Grabbing his bell, he runs to the kitchen and looks around. On the kitchen table, Hilda is ready to pounce.)
Hilda: Grr! (She jumps and tackles Tontu, picks him up, and puts him in the trash. Twig sets a couple of books on it to keep the lid down)
Tontu: No, no, no, no! NO! AAAAHHHHHH! (Johanna appears from the hallway.)
Johanna: Is that Tontu's bell ringing?
Twig: Oh… (To cover the sound, Hilda presses a button on the radio and she and Twig start dancing. Hilda tap dances and Twig moonwalks. Johanna steps forward and pauses the music, and Hilda starts it back up. Johanna stops it, and that's when she hears the bell.)
Tontu: WAAAHHH! (Johanna opens the lid and reveals Tontu inside. Weakly, the Nisse goes…) Meee-owwww!
(Johanna was furious. Tontu rings his bell. Hilda and Twig try to play it cool, but Hilda's mom has had it.)
Johanna: Hilda, Twig... OUT TO THE GARAGE! NOW!
Hilda: But Mom—
(Johanna gave her daughter a glare that was so dreadful, it made the girl whimper in fear and crawl to the garage. Twig followed her.)
Tontu: Kids. Can't live with them, can't live without them.
(That night, Hilda and Twig are in the garage. A thunderstorm was active, scaring Twig, causing the pet to hide in the blanket. They look in through the window and glare at Tontu, who is back on the chair watching TV.)
Tontu: Hmph! (Tontu turns to Hilda, a grin on his face, and she and Twig stare back at him. Tontu reveals his bell, which gives Hilda an idea. She runs inside her room and grabs a pair of wire cutters.)
(As Tontu watches his show and plays with his bell, Hilda sneaks up behind him and cuts the stem, silencing the bell.)
Hilda: (to Tontu) Just give me the remote and get off the chair, nice and easy. (She and Twig glare at the Nisse.)
Tontu: (laughs manically) OR WHAT? You and Twig wouldn't DARE touch me! (Hilda steps forward, picks him up, and drops him on his butt. Angry, the creature gets up) Fine, and don't say you didn't ask for it!
(Hilda shrugs her shoulders while chuckling.)
(Tontu holds the bell. He tries to ring it, but no sound comes from it)
Tontu: Ah! (Surprised, and defenseless, he turns to the furious pet and girl)
Twig: Grrrr!
Hilda: You're gonna wish you never messed with me!
(Tontu chuckles. He waves his fingers and zooms away. As Johanna finishes reading her book, the two chase Tontu)
Twig: Bark! Bark! Bark! (They run up the stairs. Tontu breaks for Johanna in the living room, but Twig dives and grabs him before he can reach there.)
Tontu: WAAAAAA! (Hilda grabs Twig's feet and tries to pull him, but then Tontu's bandage begins unwinding) WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (Tontu is sent spinning like a top into the living room) WA-WA-WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (He slams hard into the back of the couch, catching the woman off-guard. She turns around and sees Tontu holding his arm up weakly) Ahh… (Hilda and Twig blink in surprise. Johanna picks up Tontu.)
Johanna: Hey there, little fella. Glad to see your leg's working fine, now. Heh, you don't even have a limp!
Tontu: Purr.
Hilda and Twig: GRRRR!
(Tontu chuckles as he glances over at Hilda and Twig with a malicious look.)
Hilda: You're not gonna get away with this, you hear me Tontu?! (She walks toward the stairs, but her feet get caught in Tontu's bandage) You'll need a lot more bandages once I…whoa! (She trips and falls down the stairs. Twig, who was still holding the other end of the bandage, gets pulled along with her.)
Hilda and Twig: (painfully) Oof! Ugh! Oh! Uh! (A couple more crashes are heard as Johanna and Tontu flinch after each one. Eventually, the two end up out of the apartment and on the road. Hilda brushed her bruises off as she pulled her sleeves and marched back to the apartment, but before she could get inside, she and Twig ended up being hit by a car.)
Driver: Out of the road, bozo!
(Tontu purrs as Johanna shakes her head. The next morning, as a bystander walks by, and a car passes by the apartment, Hilda and Twig are in full body casts from their tumble down the stairs. Only their eyes and –in Hilda's case her tongue– remain visible. Hilda looks furious and Twig, just sad. Johanna eats a plate of cucumber sandwiches right next to them.)
Johanna: (while eating) I really outdid myself with this cucumber sandwich. Aw, too bad the doctor said you couldn't use your jaws for another month. Sucks to be you, Hilda.
(Twig whimpers yet again.)
(Hilda curses under her breath as Johanna eats another bite, much to the others' displeasure. When the doorbell rings. Johanna sets the plate down next to Hilda and goes to answer the door. Hilda seeing the cucumber sandwich a few inches away, tries to eat it with her tongue, but she can't reach it.)
Johanna: (entering the living room) I have a surprise for you guys! (Once Hilda and Twig look up, Tontu hops in wearing a nurse's cap)
Tontu: Hilda!
Johanna: (petting Tontu's head) I've asked Tontu to stay with us a little longer, so he can cheer you up a little bit!
(Twig whimpers)
Hilda: Grrrr!
Johanna: Have fun! (Johanna leaves. Hilda furiously continues grunting and growling as Tontu hops into the chair, eats the entire food, and switches the channel.)
Tontu: Oh, ice skating. Sweet! Nothing but cute butterfly costumes.
(Twig howls in sadness.)
Hilda: GAAAAAAHHHH!
(Hilda was at her limit. She broke part of her body cast, leaving only the top of her head and one of her legs into a cast. The girl grabbed a sledgehammer and used it against Tontu.)
Tontu: You're supposed to be resting, Hilda. (starts getting scared) Uh, Hilda?
(Every time Hilda limps, a hole is in the ground in front of her, barely missing Tontu. He screams as he runs out of the apartment while Hilda chases him.)
Tontu: Hilda, aren't you still injured?
Hilda: NOT AS MUCH AS YOU'RE GOING TO BE, YOU PARASITE!
(Tontu screams as the injured Hilda still chases him while limping.)
Tontu: No, Hilda, No! Remember the policy! "Never deny a guest even with the most ridiculous request!"
(Hilda ignored Tontu's pleas as she kept using the sledgehammer, making cracks at the road. The two ran off into the sunset.)
THE END
