Chapter 12: No Kids, Pets O.K.
“We’re back from the hospital!” Miles called out as he and his wife entered the boarding house after a long day at work, letting in all the animals that always goes in and out after someone opens the door.
“Easy there, you guys.” Miles said to the animals who run pass them. “Where’d you think they go?” Miles asked his loving wife, who only shrugged. “Probably back to their owners.” Miles looked at the animals, wonder which boarder they individually belong to.
“No not really.” Arnold walked down the steps to give them a welcoming hug. “Besides Abner, they’re all stray animals.”
“Stray!?” Miles and Stella both asked.
“Your father doesn’t allow kids in this building, supposedly.” She glanced at Arnold. “But he let flea carrying animals in?” The botanist shouted as she placed her fists on her hips. “And how’d a snake, a monkey, and a parrot get mixed up anyways?”
“Don’t forget the butterfly.” Miles pointed at one of the butterflies from the Green Eyes city flying with the animals.
“How’d does it even know to follow them?” Stella asked. “What, they all got a ride on a plane here?”
“Yep, but the snake came with Abner when he came back to get us.” Phil spoke from the parlor. “You were the ones that brought those animals with you.”
Miles and Stella looked at each other confusion. “What do you mean?” Miles asked as his wife was beginning to get stressed.
“I think I only saw that parrot with Arnold’s friend Stinky.” Stella held up her hands. “Why name a kid Stinky, I have no idea; but we didn’t bring them.”
Then another voice spoke. “It was all me who brought our new family members to this wonderful boarding house.” With much of it explained, Pookie revealed herself to be the culprit. “And they shall aid me in my strike against the big corps!”
“Mom, what you did was illegal ……. Right?” Miles ask with a hint of doubt, but was slightly nudged by Stella who gave him that ‘duh’ look.
“Of course it was. That snake is venomous!”
“Wrong!” Pookie smiled as she held up some papers. “Done the legal work …. But the snake is loaded.”
“Let me see that!” Miles took the sheets and looked over it. “I ….. don’t believe it. They’re genuine.”
Stella looked over the legal documents herself. “But how; where did you get these?”
“There’re some things in this world that shall not be revealed.” Pookie saluted. “Like how they serve shrimp cocktail in first class.”
“And please don’t ask how Abner and that snake had a plane ride and were treated like people.” Phil added. “Which reminds me; I got some complaints about that giant spider right next to ya.”
Miles rubbed his chin and pondered. “Well we should think of a nice habitat for it and the other animals. Maybe we can remodel that old lab in the basement into a-GIANT SPIDER!?”
Both Miles and Stella leaped to the couch as Phil started laughing uncontrollably. “Ha, got ya! Aaaah ha ha!”
Even Arnold couldn’t help but laugh at his parents acting like cats stuck on a tree after being chased by dogs.
“Phil, you should be so glad you’re my in-law.” Stella said with a serious tone as she extends from the couch. “Otherwise, pow!” Stella pounded her palm, spooking Phil a bit.
“But we should really do something about those exotic animals, since they’re legally ours now.” Miles said, still giving his mother a mixed look. “I’ll milk the snake to create an antidote.”
Arnold looked at his father with a raised eyebrow. “You will milk a snake, heck you once own a giant snake as a pet, but heaven forbids you see a small spider?”
His parents looked at each other for a comeback, but they were beat by their own son. “Phobias are ….. complicated.” Miles said as Stella held his hand.
“You’re blessed that you don’t get spooked out like us.” Stella chuckled. “But boy, even I would faint if I ever have to see a giant spider.”
Meanwhile, Back at the Green Eyes City
The once chief girl was tying a note onto a tarantula with a body nearly as big as Abner.
“(Once you find Mr. Eduardo, give him the letter. He’ll help bring you to Miles, Stella, and Arnold.)”
The horrifying tarantula moved his fangs around and hurdled away towards its mission.
The girl waved the spider goodbye and smiled. “(She shall make a fine ally to Miles and Stella.)”
End of Chapter
Also don’t ask when that spider is coming, that will lower the surprise value a.k.a. I didn’t decide yet.
