Chapter 15: Wild Sister:
Donnie's POV:
Mom, Dad, and I were watching The Dan Danger Show. "You can't spell Danger without Dan!"
"He sure is a brave man," says Mom.
"Indeed, I wouldn' do any of those dangerous stunts," says Dad.
"I wanna do them," I said. Then there was a knock on the door. I then leaped to it and opened it.
"Hey guys!"
"Eliza," we all said.
"Wha' brings you back, poppe'," asks Dad.
"I thought I'd surprise you all," says Eliza.
"Well, it's nice to have a famous vet like you visiting us," says Mom.
. . .
Eliza was listening to our band.
The Wild Ones: Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
I love you
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing
Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
You move me
Wild thing, you make my heart sing
You make everything groovy, wild thing
C'mon, c'mon, wild thing
Check it, check it, wild thing!
"You guys are good," says Eliza, "but do you know anything original?"
"No," we all said.
"What's the monkey think," asks Adam.
Darwin was sitting there.
"So, what's with the monkey," asks Adam.
"He's as part of the family as any other Thornberry," I said.
"Dahnnie, I need your help," says Anna, running in with her poodle.
"Anna, what's wrong," I asked.
"My dahrleeng, leettle Rahse... I sink she's seeck," says Anna.
"This is my sister," I said, "she's a vet!"
. . .
Eliza was taking a look at Rose.
"Whaht ees she doing," asks Anna.
"I'm not sure," I said.
Eliza's POV:
"So, can you tell me what's wrong," I asked.
"I ahm so ahshahmed! I ahte a piece of chahcolahte," says Rose.
"Rose, chocolate's bad for dogs," I said.
"I ahm a dahg! We nevair use our heads!"
"Well, I'm going to do what I can," I said.
"I have the tools," says Darwin.
Donnie's POV:
"That is one well-trained monkey," says Adam.
"Darwin's always been Eliza's best friend," I said.
"I still can't believe your dad's a famous TV star and your sister's a famous vet," says Charlize.
"And she's kind of cute too," says Piper.
"She also has a boyfriend," I said.
"I ahm just so wahrried ahbout my Rahse," says Anna.
Eliza walks over to us. "It's going to take some time," I said.
. . .
We were all waiting in the living room. Anna was sad. I then grabbed a stocking and put it on my head and started dancing around. That made Anna laugh. Then Eliza came in. "I have good news," says Eliza. Rose ran to her.
"Rahse, you ahre ahlright," says Anna. Rose starts licking Anna.
"She just ate some chocolate," says Eliza.
"Zen eet ees my fault! She must've gahtten eento my chahcolahtes! Oh, rahse, I ahm so sahrry!"
"Relax," says Eliza, "she blames herself too!" We all looked at her. "UUUUUUUUUmmmmmmmmm... I'm guessing! Anyway, she should be fine!"
"Merci!" Anna hugs Eliza.
"Awe, your welcome," says Eliza.
. . .
Anna then waves as us and leaves. "I like her," says Eliza.
"She's usually a lot snootier," says Adam, "but she's been warming up to Donnie!"
Eliza's phone rings. "That would be my boyfriend," says Eliza, "hey Shane!"
I may be a wild jungle boy, but Eliza's always been the wild one!
In the next chapter, Donnie takes a trip back to Borneo.
