A Failed Invention
Chapter 3- Into the light
Previous ChapterKlonoe gasped.
"Bekhin, what are you doing here!" Klonoe shouted at the child at the doorstep.
Bekhin scratched the back of his head nervously.
"Erm... I got lost..." he began.
"Yeah, that isn't very hard to realize..." James groaned.
"Didn't I tell you not to socialize with strangers, especially with those of an inferior species!" Klonoe scolded.
"Um, can I say something?" Fluttershy whispered.
"I didn't do anything wrong!" Bekhin groaned.
Klonoe shouted, busting with rage.
"Yes you did, you stupid little idiot!" Klonoe screamed.
"Um, can I butt in here and..." Fluttershy attempted again.
"Ugh!" Bekhin sighed. "You are such a jerk!"
"Me?" Klonoe shouted at the top of his lungs."It's you who has disobeyed everything your father and I have taught you!"
"You know, I hate-" Bekhin began, close to tears.
"Stooooooppppppp!" Fluttershy shouted. "Um, if that's ok with you..."
Klonoe glared at her, and started to growl.
"Eeep!" She screamed.
"Klonoe, let her have a chance." James reasoned.
"Fine." Klonoe groaned. "What is it weakling?"
"U-um, Bekhin came here because he was -um- lost." Fluttershy whispered. "I thought he needed help so..."
Klonoe gaped in confusion.
"You-you- did this for his safety?!?" Klonoe gasped.
"Um, yes." Fluttershy agreed, sighing.
"Looks like apologies are in order." Klonoe replied, scratching the back of his head.
"Mmhm." Susan said, grinning.
"Sorry about the misunderstanding miss." Klonoe apologized.
"Even though you are an inferior species." he muttered under his breath.
"So, um, would you like to go inside?" Fluttershy asked, gesturing at the door with her hoof.
"Sounds nice!" Susan exclaimed, walking inside, the others trailing after her.
As the 5 humans entered the cottage, Klonoe began to groan, but then he felt something hard against his head. He reached in his hair and pulled out a half-eaten carrot.
"Who or what did this!" He shouted accusingly.
He turned around and glared at all present. Then, he saw something in the corner of his eye. A little white bunny, sticking it's tongue out at him.
"Oh, so you think you're a wiseguy, eh rabbit?" Klonoe shouted, glaring at it. "When I'm done with you, not even the doc's will be able to stick your bones back together!"
The rabbit waved its hands in the air, as if to say, "Bring it on!"
"Oh, you're in for it now, you pathetic little-" Klonoe began to say.
"Angel, stop being so rude to out guests!" Fluttershy scolded.
"This -thing, is your pet?" Klonoe gaped, befuddled.
"Yes, yes it is." Fluttershy replied, smiling. "Although he is a bit naughty with guests, I still love him."
"So don't kill it." James whispered in Klonoe's ear, grinning.
"Kill it?" Klonoe answered James quietly, giving him an evil smile. "Who said I was gonna kill it?"
Fluttershy looked at Klonoe suspiciously, but shrugged the feeling off.
"Do we have any tea?" Klonoe asked Fluttershy, still keeping an eye on the insane rabbit.
"Yes, I do, I'll go get some." Fluttershy replied. "I'll be back soon."
"Hm." Klonoe stated, looking around. "Fine by me."
Once Fluttershy left the room, Klonoe shed one last glare at the "demon rabbit".
"This isn't over, you know." He told it, growling.
Angel grinned at him, nodding his head.
"Hm, that rabbit has spunk, I like that." Klonoe turned around and told the others.
"Grandpa, please stop thinking of ways of killing Fluttershy's pet." Bekhin groaned.
"What are you talking about, I'm completely over that now!" Klonoe replied indignantly.
Everyone looked at him suspiciously.
"What?" He asked incredulously.
"Nothing." They all stated loudly at once.
"Well..." Susan added, changing the subject. "Has anyone noticed how many animals this Fluttershy pony has as pets?"
"I know right?" Bekhin answered, shrugging. "I have no clue why, other than the fact she's way too in tune with nature."
"So, she's a hippy?" Klonoe questioned, grinning.
"Klonoe, isn't that a bit cruel?" Autumn replied, sighing.
"The tea is ready!" Fluttershy called, walking back into the living room.
"How about we stop this pointless gossip, and drink some tea." James stated, clapping his hands together.
The others agreed, and nodded their heads.
"So, what exactly are you?" Autumn asked Fluttershy, taking a sip of tea.
"You all honestly don't know?" Fluttershy gasped, confused.
"Not really." Autumn admitted.
"Well, I'm a pegasus." Fluttershy answered, grinning.
"That's...interesting..." James trailed off.
"Well, it's getting late, do you all have a place to sleep?" Fluttershy asked worryingly.
"No, but I think only the kids will need a place to sleep, we can sleep outside." James reasoned, sighing.
"Sounds good to me." Klonoe agreed, cracking a smile.
"Alright, the kids can sleep on the couch, if that's ok..." Fluttershy said, with a small smile.
"That's just fine." Susan replied, walking outside, soon followed by the others.
While everyone (and pony) were asleep, Klonoe stirred in his makeshift bed of leaves.
"This place is far too happy." He muttered. "Hopefully I can find a way to rid this place of it's pathetic excuse for a town and see what I can do with the land."
He grinned to himself.
"They'll never know what hit them, especially that demon rabbit." Klonoe yawned, drifting off to sleep.
"Hehe. I can just smell the cooked flesh..." he groaned, finally asleep.
