SO. here is the original posts plus a little more, so it will perhaps warrant more than one fan. xD The first stuff is sorta like fail random, that isn't really funny. But whatever. 8D Inspired by the totally amazing Noobcake by Xialburg. (Pronounced SHALL-burg!!)

THE MISFIT MONSTER’S GUIDE TO LIFE by Tokimune-san
Day 1-First Day of Middle School-Summer Fall change
I get out of bed. Real exciting. OMG WOW. Go downstairs. O MY GAWD. Take a fruit tart from the cabinet, OOOH BLUEBERRY FLAVOR. Yay! Mom. Where is my totally-normal mom? I put the tart in the toaster and was on my way to the living room. Apparently my also totally-normal brother was asleep. I smelled smoke. There was my mother, with a match in her mouth. It didn’t give her the pleasure of smoking, but it was close enough that it helped her stop. “Sup Mom?” I asked. My mother’s name was Fleur. YESH WE BE FRENCH. Totally French. Well, my father is half French, my mother is 100% French. So, I know French. I’m so cool. My brother’s name is Épée Jr. We just call him Junior for short. You might have guessed that my father’s name is Épée. I know English, French, and a little Japanese. Weird mix, my father is part Japanese, part French. But, my father is away on business trips usually. Now, I’m sensitive about this. I must get on with my day. Junior’s ears are practically tuned to the sound of a toaster popping. I raced towards the toaster, but alas, I was too late. Junior grabbed the tart, but I snatched it from him and slobbered all over it. “EWWW COOTIES!” Junior screamed and ran away towards Mom. I munched on my slobbery tart before going upstairs again to feed my fish. He was so cool, orange and black. I fed that little scaly monster before grabbed my backpack in my mouth and racing towards the bus stop. I ran down the street, I haven’t graduated from flying lessons yet, and practically glided into the bus. “Eep!” I yelled as I ran up the bus stairs just before the door closed. My small size allowed me to do this. Lucky! My best friend Amethyst was on the same bus! I plopped down next to her. “How’s it going, Am?” I asked her.
“Nothing. I fell down the stairs and broke my leg. My brother Citrine pushed me down. It was horrible! But it’s good to see you.” Amethyst looked very upset.
“Sorry to hear that, buddy. Oh! I forgot, I’m the last bus stop before school. We’re here!” I exclaimed as we pulled in to the school driveway. The sign on the school read ‘FLEUR MIDDLE SCHOOL’ Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. My grandmother is famous. Durrrr. Geez, I’m treating this like a diary. My grandma was a famous French wolf that was known for educating those…without education. So, basically, she got famous around here and got a school named after her. She shares the same name as my mother. I have a lot of that in my family. At least my name is exotic and different compared to Junior’s, my father’s, mother’s, and grandmother’s. My name would my Tokimune. My friends call me Toki. My full name is Tokimune Belle. That’s right, no middle name. It’s kinda weird having no middle initial to put there. I walked to the classroom, Amethyst might be on my bus, but she’s not in my class. Some way to separate siblings. But that doesn’t really work, anyway. There is a group of siblings that came from a puppy mill or something (considering this is animal society, you don’t wanna know what a puppy mill here is like.) My teacher is Snowyflaky, we’re supposed to call her Ms. Snowy. Easy enough considering her full name. NUUUUUU! I got stuck with Amethyst’s brother, Citrine! That literally horned monster is in my class! This is going to be horrible! Citrine seemed to calm down as he got older, though. Ms. Snowy gave the usual ‘new year’ and ‘be good’ dribble including ‘school rules’ and ‘weekly routine’. So annoying. Same routine, only we switch classes and have lockers. They had us practice this stuff in 5th grade! Easy, so totally easy. Lunch time came quick. Citrine was looking at me weird. Seriously, what was his deal? He kept looking at me, then looking away when I looked back. Freaky. I sat next to geeky Kalah. A few rats were whispering and snickering. They kept glancing from me to Citrine and back again. What was going on?! Citrine seemed to notice and laid his ears back and blushed. He stomped over to the rats and snarled and said something to them, which apparently made them cringe. I got through the rest of the day easy, turns out Amethyst gets wise old Magical Roc, aka Mr. Roc. School would be easy for her, I got snappy Ms. Snowy. Grrr. I got home and grabbed some macaroni from the fridge before stomping up to my room to do my homework. I hate doing this ‘welcome to school’ crud. Seriously, everyone knows our favorite things to do! I finished the work quickly before sitting by my fishtank. Tag swam back and forth lazily, he rarely did that. He looked a little different, but I couldn’t tell what. Tomorrow my babysitter Santa Claus (yes, I get the name confusion but Santa is a lioness), will come to watch me and Junior for the night while mom goes out and does a giant fireworks display. Did I tell you that was her job? Guess not. Oh well. Hopefully tomorrow will be less boring.


Day 2-OMG WUT-Summer Fall Change
Okay, so things just keep getting weirder. People are starting to whisper things. Every once and a while I catch something like ‘Citrine’ or ‘Tokimune’ or maybe ‘like her’. I put together the most likely answer, but it was probably a stupid rumor. What are the chances of Citrine liking me?! IMPOSSIBLE! He’s such a class clown, and he’s really annoying. In the family Amethyst was raised in, how does he get away acting like that?! I bet he got in a heap of trouble when he pushed Amethyst down the stairs, though. I fed my fish, Tag before rushing downstairs again. But I had second thoughts on Tag’s appearance…something was different. Very different. School started into a normal routine with switching classes. So, first up was math. I hate math. What a horrible way to start my day! Then came History before Art, and before I knew it, there was lunch. I sat down alone, and was shocked to see Citrine sit across from me. “Um...hi.” he said in a very quiet voice. I didn’t look at him. I pretended not to notice he was there, but anyone could tell I knew, and I was curious. “Tokimune…I know I’ve been really mean and weird and I broke your best friend’s leg…but…can we just be friends?”
OMGOMGOMGOMG WUT IS HAPPENING TO THE WORLD IT IS NEARING THE END
I stared at Citrine. “What?” I said in shock. Citrine appeared to be preparing himself to be slapped across the face. I was wondering why he would ask that. “We’ll see how it all plays out.” I said before getting up and throwing away my lunch.
OKAY SO WEIRD. Why would Citrine do something like that? I had half an hour to finish my homework, it looks pretty easy-OH NOES WHEN DID COLUMBUS SAIL TO AMERICA?!!!! Awww I don’t remember. Ack, this suuuuuucks. I can’t believe I’m treating this thing, a novel that I want to write, like a diary. SO WEIRD. I did my homework real quick, best guess. I ran downstairs to say goodbye to my Mom, looks like Santa had arrived. Santa is in a group called the Star Pride, although she’s the only female. Lucky. Yes, I know that sounded weird, but lions and dog-ish creatures can have kids. But their kids end up having three tails. SO WEIRD I KNOW RIGHT. Santa came over and patted me on the head. “Wassup Toki?” Santa was so cool. She didn’t treat me like a little kid, or call me things like “kiddo.” I hate it when people do that. Junior basically charged Santa and glomped her with a waffle in his mouth. “JUNIOR WHAT THE CHEESE ARE YOU DOING?!” I screamed at him. He could choke! Seriously, I thought he knew. Santa took the waffle away and told him that it was dangerous to walk or talk with food in your mouth. I ran back upstairs. I wasn’t in the mood to deal with Sword Junior over there. Junior had tears in the edges of his eyes. “Sissy! Wait! I has qwestun!”
“What is it Junior?!” I asked.
“I found a fox.” He answered.
“Oh? You found another lost toy? Great. Bye.” I said, but just as I was about to close the door Junior stood in the middle to block me.
“Real fox. Sissy come see!” Junior begged me.
“Fine.” I said. It was probably some stuffed animal he was playing with. I followed him outside and he brought me to the garden. “Fwox Fwox!” He called out. A strange pink and white fox came out. She had gigantic ears. She even had eyelashes! That was kinda creepy. Maybe she was part of the fox towns around here? “Who are you?” I asked her suspiciously.
“My name is Kisses. I came from the fox towns. I took a walk and got lost so I ended up in the dog towns. Can you help me?” The pink fox asked quietly.
“I dunno. Maybe you should wait in my yard till tomorrow. My Mom isn’t home; it’s just me, my brother and my babysitter.” I finished dragging Junior away; of course I was careful to lock the door. Creepy. Santa was curious. “What were you doing outside at 8:30? It’s way passed Junior’s bedtime. Up to bed Épée.” She said pulling him up the stairs. I followed and fell asleep halfway on my bed with one of the pillows falling off. I had dragged down the blanket to cover myself.


Day 3-Rumor Revealed, DUN DIE TAG -Summer Fall change
Woah. LONGEST.TITLE.EVAR.
I woke up with a bed head and a stiff neck. Oh fun. I looked at Tag. Were those…white spots? No, couldn’t be. Santa was watching me again because Fleur had to make another fireworks display tonight. But I had learned that dad was coming home in two days! So on day 5, I’ll write about him, ok? I ran downstairs. I had to tell mom about Kisses. “Mom! Mom! Mo-“ I stopped short. Mom was talking to Kisses! I watched from the corner as Fleur spoke to Kisses about apartments and policemen and maps. Kisses probably knew that stuff! She wasn’t some bum you find on the street! Kisses started begging Mom to let her stay in the house. Fleur was good-natured and eventually let Kisses stay. Mom walked past me as she went to show Kisses the guest room. Mom whispered in my ear, “We’re getting a guard pet.” Shock. A pet?! OK, you might be confused, but certain animals are less civilized then our kind and we buy them as pets. Weird right? I heard cats buy those more primal dogs as pets, but never have I heard of less civilized cats that they get as pets. But I think they have those around here. They’re probably expensive. Amethyst told me that her cousin accidentally bought a guard fox. She said that her cousin gave it away. That made me sad to hear. She should’ve kept it! I went through my normal routine, although I watched Kisses a little bit. I’m glad Junior goes to preschool. For all we know, Kisses could be a serial killer! Not like I expect her to be. I’m happy the day goes by quickly. Citrine sat across from me again. He tried to start a conversation.
“Did you see that pink fox that’s been walking around here lately? Haven’t seen one that small that lives near canines in a while.”
That was weird. Is Citrine stalking me? He doesn’t live anywhere near me! “Uh…yeah. Mom’s letting her stay in our guest room until she gets someone to drive her home. Mom’s gonna get a guard pet though. Maybe a fox or dog. She didn’t say.”
WOAH. Did I just have a conversation with class-clown leg-breaker straight-F grade Citrine? NO NO NO THIS IS FREAKY.
“Cool. I hear you have a pet fish too, right?” Citrine asked cautiously.
“Yeah. His name is tag. He’s an orange and black piranha koi thing.” Maybe talking to Citrine isn’t so bad? It was kind of weird that he hadn’t tried to trick me or anything. I was also noticing that Amethyst was glaring at Citrine a lot. I’m going to confront the rats. They know everything that goes on, and everyone’s secrets. They’ll know what Citrine is doing.
I’m glad we have a free period after lunch. I have two people I want to chat with, all business-like. First, the rats. Then Kalah the computer geek, but anyone who wants to get information from her must pay in candy. Kalah has three tails, but nobody has met her family. Some people say she’s an orphan, and if you ask she won’t answer. I’m weirded out by the fact that she eats so much candy and sits around on a computer all day, but isn’t fat. OMG…maybe, she doesn’t eat the candy! But that’s just freaky. She’s very beautiful, but I don’t think she gets any dates. I bet it’s because everyone thinks she’s a geek. I don’t have candy with me, so I’ll have to visit the rats today. I walked towards them, they immediately stopped gossiping. “So, what is it you would like to know? The great Gossip Guru will tell you anything.” A blue rat with a large fin on his back said. He had on a fish costume. Creeepy. “What is your name?” I asked the rat. He was very different from the average rat. They all were. That made me happy. I wasn’t the only Halloween freak out there. “M-My name is Bubblemonster. My brother is the blue one over there, his name is Jaws. Those two oddly colored ones with finds are Ice window and Open Summer. The two guarding the Guru are Demon and Devil.” Bubblemonster shivered. Those names made me shake a little, too. I walked up to the Guru with a purposeful stride. The Guru looked eyed me suspiciously. “What is your question, dog?” He said in a mighty voice.
Well, mighty for a rat.
“I want to know the rumor about Tokimune and Citrine is.”
The Guru nodded. He didn’t know that I was Tokimune! How stupid is he!
“The rumor is that Citrine has fallen in love with Tokimune and wishes to pull himself together and be a better dog.”
My jaw dropped. SERIOUSLY? “Seriously?” I asked the Guru. He nodded. Woah. Creepeh.
The rest of the day went slowly, and when I got home Mom was barking and snarling at a fluffy white thing to get up. “GET UP YOU LAZY FOX! I BOUGHT YOU TO GUARD THIS PROPERTY AND YOU WILL NOT FAIL!” I could smell Mom’s breath from here. She had drank a bit. She would be fine at the fireworks display in a few hours, but she was currently crazy. “Mom, lemme try to get the fox up, ok? Go rest and sleep it out. You got dinner already, right?”
Mom looked surprised, but nodded and swaggered up the stairs. “Here foxy, get up. Please get up.” I said in my sweetest voice. The white creature looked up and flopped on his bottom. “Hieee.” He said. The way he said ‘hi’ was kind of weird. It was like ‘hi’ but with an eeeee at the end. Now I understand why lesser breeds are pets. “Hi. What is your name?” I asked it quickly.
“No nameeeee.” He said with that same eee at the end.
“I guess I’ll have to wait until Mom wakes up.” I said. I heard a thump and someone yell. I ran towards the bedrooms and saw Junior being dragged out the window. “Junior!” I yelled. I ran forward and pulled him back, but I was pulled down with the attacker and fell on it with Junior. I saw a white streak fly out the window and foxy came and landed on all four legs next to us. He pulled out the attacker and threw him into the street. I heard sirens and dogs barking and howling as the police approached. The robber was caught in the head lights, staring at the car. He was unable to move, and was to late when he tried to escape because foxy had leaped and pinned him for the police to come and snap some handcuffs on him. Two female dogs came and arrested the robber. They had realized that he had tried to break in, but they wanted to know they details. A male came over to me. “So, what happened?” he asked, directing the question towards me and not my traumatized brother.
“Well, I was in the kitchen when I heard a thump and a scream. I ran upstairs and my brother was being pulled out the window. I tried to pull him back be we all fell down the side of my house. My guard fox came and threw the robber into the street and held him down for you guys. That was it.”
“WHAT THE HECK IS HAPPENING YOU TWO?!” Fleur screamed. Okay. Still swaggering. The cop raised an eyebrow. “Ma’am, someone tried to kidnap your son. Everything is fine and we are going to arrest the attack.”
“WHATEVER DWEEBS.” Fleur yelled again and went back to her room. I nodded my thanks to the officer. Santa was standing by the door opened mouth as foxy followed us. “Woah. Neat fox you have there.” It was 4:37 PM. Okay, so mom would sleep for around two more hours, and then she would leave. Fine by me. I just think I’m old enough to watch Junior and me. I went upstairs and looked at Tag. He had white spots! I watched him lazily swim back and forth. This was bad. “SANTA! TAG HAS THE ICK! WE NEED TO BRING HIM TO THE FISH HOSPITAL!” Santa came up the stairs.
“Calm down Toki. We don’t need to bring him to the vet. Fish don’t go to the vet anyway. We’ll just go to the pet store and buy a treatment to squirt in his tank.” Santa was so cool! How was she calm about everything. We waited two hours for mom to wake up and leave, and then we took Junior to the pet store to buy some Ick treatment. And there was…CITRINE! He was stalking me! I just knew it-he has a pet?!! OK. I’m pathetic. I tried to ignore him and go on with my life, but we kept looking at each other. We finally burst out laughing…at the same time. Maybe he wasn’t so bad after all. HOW COULD I SAY THAT?! I just said hi and went home. I put the treatment in Tag’s tank and went to bed. At 7:00. Way early. Whatever.


Day 4-Kalah the candy monster-Fall

Okay, so it’s good to know that Tag will most likely be okay with his treatment. Today is Saturday, so I guess I’ll talk with Kalah on Monday. Doorbell rang. Kisses stayed back, she wouldn’t know who that was. Foxy ran to the door and started yapping up a storm. “FOXY!” I yelled making my way to the door. Foxy was silenced and stepped back.
EVERYONE IS A…
Stalker.
Kalah had come to me. “Hello Toki.”
That was weird. How did Kalah know I needed her?! “How’d you know?” I asked.
“Know what? I was just wondering if you wanted to go multiplayer on WolfQuest with me.”
OF COURSE I KNEW THAT.
Kalah and I love WolfQuest and we always play it together on multiplayer. We brought down a bull elk by ourselves!
“Uh…sure. I had a question for you anyway.”
“Jolly Ranchers?” Kalah questioned.
“Got’em.” I answered. “I have a bunch. Blue raspberry is your favorite, so there you go.” I said grabbed one out of a bowl and handing it to Kalah. I closed the door and led Kalah up to my room.
“So, what’s with the fox? And who’s that pink fox??”
“My question first.” I insisted. Kalah could easily forget and she was already sucking on the candy.
“Fine. What do you wish to ask me?”
“What is the rumor about Citrine and me? I want all the details, including why.”
“Arg, fine. Citrine likes you. He thinks you’re kind of…cute. Plus you’re smart and a straight B student. He gets C-F on a regular basis. I didn’t think it was possible, but sometimes he gets an F-!! I didn’t know that grade existed!”
“Yeah, me neither. Okay, more details.”
NEED MOAR.
“But that’s it. Everyone who’s telling the rumor doesn’t have any other details. And my assistants are high on the popularity rank, so this is very puzzling. Now my questions!”
“Alright. Well, that fox is Kisses and she lost her way from the fox towns and got lost here. We’re letting her stay until she can grab a ride home.”
Kalah nodded and looked very suspicious. “Continue.” She said.
“Mom got a guard fox because we don’t know Kisses. We didn’t name him. Mom had a little alcohol before I got home, so we didn’t name him yet. I just call him Foxy.”
I heard Fleur dragging Épée up the stairs. I heard the yapping of foxy. “HE SHALL BE NAMED!” My mother yelled. Oh no, not again. She’s having a psychopathic fit. Again. Errrrrrrg. I opened the door and closed it in Kalah’s face. “You do not need to see this. You are better off not knowing this part of my mother.” I said as Fleur sat down and smiled widely.
“WHAT BE HIS NAME?” Fleur yelled in my face.
Junior jumped up and down. “Rawr! We name him Rawr!”
“Rawr? We should name him Joker. That’s more like him.”
“But he Rawrs!”
“No he doesn’t.”
“Yesh.”
“Nu.”
“Yesh.”
“Nu.”
“Yes!”
“No! HEEEEY! Sissy! No fair!”
“THAR BE A FOX NAMED JOKER, THEN.” Mother yelled. She stomped back down the stairs. I pulled Joker and Junior into my room. Mom was not safe in that state. “Sorry Kalah, but Mom isn’t exactly safe this way.”
Kalah nodded. She got it.
“Hey Kalah, isn’t Amethyst’s birthday on Sunday?” I asked.
“OMG I forgot! We have to buy her a present!” So Kalah and I asked Mom to drop us off at the mall and we went to a clothing store. Amethyst had plenty of jewelry, and she only wears a select few. We looked around. Apparently Blacku from school had gotten a job here. I knew Blacku, but he was a year older than me. “Hi BB. Why are you working in a women’s clothing store? Are you-“
“It was the only job available. Plus I get to pick up hot girls.” He whispered as the manager came out. “Hello Ladies. Is Blacku being a good store clerk?” Kalah and I nodded. We walked towards the costumes section. I’m not really sure why, though. We didn’t find anything good, so we looked around other isles. Amethyst would never wear any of this! RAWR what are we supposed to buy for her?! I stopped. “Kalah…what if we bought her…a…a…”
“A WHAT?!” Kalah yelled.
“Geez Louise Kalah! A plushie! Maybe just a plain old plushie!”
“A plain old plushie? ARE YOU CRAZY?!”
“Well, then what are we supposed to buy?”
“A rare collectable plushie.”
Oh. What a wise butt. “Alright. Let’s go.” We said goodbye to Blacku and ran out to the fancy toy store. I was still surprised Blacku was working, he was only in middle school, even if he was a year older than us! Maybe you’re allowed to get a job when you turn 13 or something. Weird.
We stepped into the fancy toy store. Collectable dolls and animals were everywhere in special glass cases out on display. Le Gasp! Did they even have those fabled humans as dolls? I had to find out! Kalah followed me. “Where are we going?” she asked.
“Human dolls!” I simply said, heading towards the section with stuff monkeys and anthromorphic toys. Nothing. Nada. Goose eggs. I was so upset. I loved reading about humans! Of course, they were horrible, destructive creatures, but they did pretty much the same things we do! “Tokimune you idiot, let’s get going. We don’t have much longer.” I forgot! Mom had to pick us up at 5:00! I followed Kalah as she walked towards the collectable dolls section. “Hmmm. Gray and black wolf or red squid?”
Kalah looked over at me. “Tokimune? What are you looking at?” I was staring wide eyed as the store clerk sewed up a purple rat with button eyes. It didn’t belong here. It was too…raggedy. It looked as though it had been sewn up many times before. “Tokimune! That doll, is not what we’re here for! Why would Amethyst want that ragged doll?! Come’on!” she yelled at me. I didn’t listen. Like a zombie I slowly walked up to the counter as if I was being controlled. “Excuse me, miss, but is that rat for sale?” The clerk looked at me. I soon realized how creepy looking the store clerk appeared. Her eyes were like to beads that you would find on one of the collectables. Her anatomy was that of a toy wingless butterfly wolf I had when I was little. She had the same eyes too. The insides of her ears looked soft and cottony. “Pastel.” I whispered under my breath.
“Little lady, please speak up. I cannot help you if whisper. And by the way, this doll is for sale. Who are you buying it for? I can’t imagine anyone would want this old thing.”
“My friend. The clothing stores had nothing good for her. Even the jewelry, but she doesn’t wear most of the jewelry she has.”
“Ah. Of course. The little rat is $25.”
“TWENTY-FIVE DOLLARS?! Are you crazy Tokimune?! Why are you buying a stupid little rat that’s probably used and torn up and-“
“Shutup Kalah. I want to buy this rat for Amethyst.”
“Amethyst? I can put a gift tag on this rat if you want.”
“No thanks, he’s perfect the way he is.” I glared at Kalah and she instantly shut her mouth. As soon as I bought the rat the deep sense of wanting was gone. Kalah was quiet as mom drove us home.
“So, what did you buy for Amethyst?” Mom asked.
“A doll.” I answered quietly. I was staring into the bag. Those button eyes…they seemed to hold some kind of beautiful life. The rest of the day wasn’t interesting, although I kept thinking about that shopkeeper. She had looked just like my doll Pastel. But, Pastel had been thrown in the garbage when I had turned 5.
Tomorrow dad is coming home, misfits of the world!


Day 5-Dad is here!-Fall
I had a very unpleasant morning. Junior jumped on my bed and eventually stepped on the floating bones in my tail, which freak him out. He did a flip and land on my head, I woke up screaming; Kisses had tripped and spilled hot milk all over me (why does she drink hot milk? She isn’t a cat.) Then, Joker woke up. Not fun. He licked all the milk off me and I got really mad. Mom made me sit in my room and calm down so that I don’t murder anyone. HA. Junior would be first, not her. I don’t see why she’s worrying. Joker ran around yapping up a storm until I let him in my room. I heard mom yell, “It’s just the teenage hormones honey!” Oh stuff it Fleur. I growled and watched tv for a bit. Love the flat screen. Joker was running around my room. Then he started barking and snarling at the rat toy. “Quit it Joker. It’s just a stuffed animal.”
“Criminaleee! Not goodeee!” He looked at me with his huge puppy eyes. “Joker, leave it be. I’m giving it to Amethyst anyway.” Joker looked relieved. “Maybe it just smells like a bad guy you dealt with before.” Joker nodded then trotted out of the room with a goofy look on his face. Stupid fox. I got up and dressed in some stupid semi-fancy outfit. I picked up the bag with the rat and got in mom’s car. Mom finally got in the car with Junior. Kisses had to come because Mom still didn’t trust her, even with Joker around. Joker was obviously less advanced than most guard foxes. Maybe he was just retarded or something. Yeah, probably. Amethyst was a few blocks away. I could hear some music playing. I wouldn’t expect someone like her to listen to All American Rejects. OMG MY FAVORITE SONG! I did a fangirl scream and ran into Amethyst’s yard. Bwahaha I had packed an extra-cool outfit to change into. Most of us did that because we have uber-moms. I went into the bathroom in Amethyst’s house and changed. My outfit was epic. Citrine was stretched out on the couch snoring. Cute. Disgraceful, but cute. His horns had slightly impaled a pillow, even though they weren’t that big. He snorted and woke up, sitting bolt upright. He instantly blushed cherry red. “Hi Tokimune. I didn’t kn-know you were coming here.” He smiled nervously. “Of course I was coming. Amethyst is one of my best friends silly!” What did I just call him? Silly. SILLY. I CALLED HIM SILLY. That was weird. Ethiopia and Amethyst’s mom, Beryl, walked into the room. “Hello you two. Go outside, Tokimune. Oh and Citrine, your father wants to talk with you.” Beryl walked away and Citrine followed, but he looked back once. I headed back outside, my bony tail was held high and was twitching. “What’s up with your tail Toki?” Amethyst asked. I looked over at it. “I dunno. I don’t remember it ever doing that before.” I sat down and looked closer. My tail had a thread with a small pin stabbed into one of the bones. That was creepy- the rat! He had a similar thread stuck in him! I ripped the pin out of my tail. Amethyst’s parents were so epic that they built a giant fire in her backyard. I threw the pin and thread into the fire and watched as it burned, melted, and sizzled. I heard a noise that sounded kind of like a horse neighing, and watched as Amethyst’s father brought in three zombie horses. “EPIC!” I yelled. It was weird. The horses weren’t startled. Maybe it was because I was a monster too. I smiled. It felt…normal. The stub of my tail twitched in an attempt to wag what wasn’t there. Amethyst had invited a good group. Here’s the party from a third-person view:
Amethyst, Kalah, Tokimune, Smoothie, and Fae. It was a small group, but we were all friends. Fae was a butterfly wolf. The horses there were Hopi, Pacer and Nightsky. We got to ride them for a bit, Amethyst rode the whole time while the four of us took turns. I was so happy I jumped into the sky and flew. WAIT-I flew?! That means I’ll ace flying lessons on Monday! WOOT! I did a twirl but fell down. “Oww o ow ow…” I got up and shook myself. If I had a tail it would’ve been a bloody twisted mess, but it was fine. I just had to rearrange my floating tailbone. Ethiopia and Beryl ran over to me. Ethiopia was Amethyst’s father and Beryl was her mother. Beryl was probably going to have another kid soon, her belly seemed quite big. Citrine stood on the deck watching with concern. “I’m fine, just had to fix my tail bones. Everything is good.” I said standing up. My friends were amazed. I never really thought much of my bone ability, I guess because I was born with it. We ate the cake and then Amethyst announced she would open presents. We sat around as she opened boxes and bags with jewelry, clothes, beading kits, and last and possibly least, Kalah’s and my present. Amethyst eyed the bag. She pulled out the stuffed toy rat and a smiled covered her face. “He’s so cute! I love him! Where did you get this guy?!”
“Kalah and I got him at that fancy doll shop in the mall. The lady wasn’t openly selling him, just sewing him up a bit. Heheh.” Kalah nodded, she seemed satisfied with Amethyst’s reaction, and so was I. We all got sent home, but most of us had to get back into our fancy outfits before our moms came in. “So how did Amethyst like the present?” Fleur asked.
“She loved it! I wonder if the lady at the store has any more. Probably not, though. The rat looked pretty unique. Kinda like if Picasso tried to sew.” Mom laughed and so did I. Kisses giggled a little and Junior looked confused. When I got home I saw Dad’s car in the driveway. I guess Dad had gotten home when mom went to pick me up. His name was Épée. He had pretty much a lighter version of Junior’s pattern. Dad ran outside and hugged all of us into one giant hug. I smiled and kissed him on the cheek. “Dadda!” Junior yelled. It kind of sounded like “ta-da” only with “Dad da.”
“It’s great to see you! How’s work?” Mom asked. Dad smiled widely looking like he had no care in the world.
“I got a new job, and it’s nearby!”
Fleur looked shocked. “What…kind of job? How does it pay? Where is it?”
“It’s over by the Lupus Woods. I’m in the Anti-Society Wolf Group. Or the ASWG. It’s for keeping wolves from escaping the forest and wreaking havoc on the canine, feline, and any other town.”
“Sounds cool. So, what is your duty there?”
Junior giggled. “Duty! Duty! Crud!” Fleur whipped her head around. “Who taught you that word?!”
“Tokimoooon!” He smiled. Mom glared at me. “How dare you.”
“Ma, I didn’t try to teach it to him! He just overheard me! I try not to-“
“Calm down ladies. My job there is to watch the main entrance/exit of the forest. It’s pretty simple, I just call them up when a wolf comes nearby, that’s all.”
The rest of the day was pretty normal, dad starts tomorrow and he’s staying home. So happy!
Night night Misfits!


Day 7 – MISSING –Fall
Sorry I didn’t write yesterday. Need to get over the shock.
Dad went missing at his job yesterday. During a wolf call.
Near the woods. A wolf call.
They might’ve kidnapped him! Why do wolves want to come here anyway? What if dad is dead! No! He can’t be! I refuse it! No! No! No!


Day 8 – Miserable – Fall
He’s still missing. They sent a search party, which, I might add, has not come back.
WHAT IF DIRE WOLVES ARE STILL ALIVE. OH NO.
Whattodowhatodowhattodo
Aaaaaaaah. Even Joker seems worried. It seems that during this one big event, nothing ELSE in my life is interesting.
What.The.Hockeypuck.
Oh wait.
Mom. Brb
The agency called and said they found Dad’s forest hat?!
Oh gosh. No. No. They said it was soaked.
With blood.
I hope they go as far as to identify what kind of blood it is. Who’s blood.
I feel like dying. Sometimes I wondered if I already was, but now I want to even if I already am.

[luxray;]

I need more. This is awesome.
