Ann Possible takes care of Rufus
By Tinytoad
Part 1.
So many nieces and nephews Lord Monty Fiske thought to himself, well for your birthday Archie Fiske you get the Hamlyn My Child's First Book of Ancient Monkey Prophecies. Before Monkeyfist started to wrap up his nephew's birthday present he thought he should have a quick flick through. This seemed interesting he mused "At the golden shrine of the amazon monkey king, on the third moon, bring the mother of thine enemy..." hmm very interesting indeed.
(In the Possible's Kitchen)
"I really think" Ann Possible said to her daughter Kim in a firm tone "if you'd agreed to look after Ron's pet when he went on holiday that's what you should be doing"
"And I have been Mum" Kim said defensively "but I have a mission in England and they have an outbreak of mole flu there so I can't take him. Please take care of Rufus he's no trouble"
Kim put on her puppy dog pout
"Well OK but just for today, where's his cage?" Ann asked
"You rock Mum" Kim said "no cage Rufus lives in Ron's pocket hadn't you noticed?"
"No he always just appears when there food" Ann said "just like Ron does"
Kim took Rufus out of her pocket, he was curled up and rather sleepy
"Just put him in your pocket and he'll want food, well, whenever he smells it"
"Just like Ron" Ann laughed.
Ann's skirt and blouse lacked pockets, the solution was for Ann to wear her white doctors coat and put Rufus in one of it's pockets.
Once Kim had jetted off to England Ann was left alone. James was spending the weekend at a Rocket convention and the twins were at a football tournament.
Ann really should be doing things however she was finding it hard to put down her new book 'Sarah and the Pirate Captain'. Sarah was a maid and had been kidnapped by the pirate captain Jack. In the book Captain Jack was more misunderstood than bad, Sarah would help him and Captain Jack would be grateful, very very passionately grateful, indeed every few pages Captain Jack would give Sarah a mind shattering orgasm. This really is trash Ann thought to herself as she kept avidly reading steamy page after steamy page.
Rufus was awake and Ann wondered if he could read as he seemed to be following along the story. Sarah had just convinced Captain Jack to have the confidence to do away with his false eye patch and hook, and needless to say Jack was building up to give Sarah some more very very passionate gratitude.
When Ann went to turn the page a black clad monkey paw reached over her shoulder to stop her turning the page. A black clad monkey finger traced the bottom few lines as if finishing the page before it was turned. Then Ann realised that it wasn't just her and Rufus reading about Sarah's saucy adventures. Behind her looking over her shoulder was a troop of Monkey Ninjas reading along as well.
Then all hell broke loose as Monkey ninja swarmed over Ann practicing Monkey Shibari. The ancient art of monkeys tying up people with rope. They were very good at looping the rope around Ann but very poor at tying knots due to lacking opposable thumbs. With enough wriggling Ann was free but too late they, for Rufus was carried along with her, were lifted into a wooden crate marked bananas and the lid was screwed down sealing them inside.
"Let's me out" Ann shouted banging on the inside of the crate, when they didn't she put her eye to one of the many air holes in the side of the crate. Oh it was bad. The monkey ninja had opened her book. Ann knew from previous experience that as trashy and badly written as it was once you started reading it you couldn't stop. She would be trapped inside this crate for hours whilst the monkeys read how big Captain Jack's canon really was.
Then she heard a terrified squeak in the bottom of the crate "Rufus?" Ann found him and picked him up in a gentle embrace "I guess we're trapped in here together". Ann was almost certain he squeaked "not good" back at her. It was good not be alone, Ann put Rufus in her pocket.
(One hour later)
Monkeyfist sat impatiently in a van on the Possible's drive way, how long should it take for a trained band of monkey ninjas to kidnap one defenceless woman. Certainly not over an hour. Patience finely at an end he got out and walked into the house.
In the kitchen he found his monkeys gathered around a book and after an hour locked inside the crate Ann Possible's angry blue eye staring at him out of one of the crates air holes.
"Get me out of this box!"
"Soon enough" Monkeyfist told her "I'm sending you express delivery"
(A few hours later in yet another mail sorting room)
"Hey you there" a voice came from the banana crate
Jimmy, a long time postal worker turned round and looked at the blue eye staring at him through a hole in the crate "can I help you?"
"Oh thank god" Ann said "I've been kidnapped get me out of this box"
Jimmy grimaced and shook his head "I'd like to help ma'am but it would more than my jobs worth"
"But I've been kidnapped" Ann insisted
"You see their really cracking down on parcel theft at the moment" Jimmy said still shaking his head "if I was to open that box they'd assume I was stealing, be the end of my job here"
Ann's response was to rude to publish
"Now ma'am there's no need to take that attitude" Jimmy said
"But surely you can help me" Ann pleaded
"Now if you were a prohibited item such as a flammable liquid, explosive, uncooked meat, no? or batteries?"
At that point a forklift truck arrived to load Ann's crate onto a cargo plane. Jimmy read the label on top of the crate
"This one's 'golden shrine of the amazon monkey king, amazonian rain forest' " Jimmy told the forklift operator "and George this ones another kidnapped woman in a box, best put on your earmuffs she's prone to swearing"
