Chapter 1, Three I guess?
“Awww, there are so many of them I would like have adopted them all if I could,” I exclaimed looking at all the different bitties in their little playpen. Sleepy bones in the corner having a very happy nap. Baby blues and Pappies playing with puzzles. They looked like they were having too much fun to even notice me. As I stepped closer a few of them stopped what they were doing to have a look at me. They looked at me with their biggest eyes pleading for me to adopt them. It took me all I could to not pick them up and snuggle with them. “No Mara, you came here for a specific bitty and not just the…” you trailed off as your eyes landed on a pair of metallic cages. They had tiny bones sticking out of them reaching for each other. Before you knew it your legs were already carrying you there. You crouched down to see a Pappy and a Sansy but there were big. The sizes of little kids. The sansy was like the size of a 2-year-old and the Papy the size of a 4-year-old.
You noticed that they had scratch marks on their bones. Some were little some were bigger than others. Though most of the scratch marks were on their legs. Probably from the bones scratching against the bottom of the cage. The Pappy looked way too big for the cage and was stuck in a kneeling position. He did not look comfortable at all.
Both of them stared at me as I stared back. They looked extremely uncomfortable. “Excuse me!” I shouted one of the employees came over to me. He looked like a purple dragon who could stand on to feet. “Yes, Ma’am how may I help you?” He asked calmly. “Could you please open these two cages? I would like to talk to these two a bit.” I asked. The employee stared at me for a few seconds with an expression I could not read. He bent down so he could open the cage. I moved out of the way so he could do his work. Once the cages were open the Pappy came rushing out. Soon after so did the Sansy once the two saw each other they latched on to each other. “Brother I never thought I would see your face again.” The Sansy didn’t say anything he just latched onto his brother desperately.
It broke my heart it looked as if they hadn’t seen each other in years. After a few minutes of them hugging they diverted their attention to me. “So who are you gonna pick lady.” the Sansy said in a neutral tone. “Ugh well” both of them acted like they needed each other and if I only took one of them I know that would be cruel and I would end up regretting it, but I only came for one bitty. “I will adopt the both of you!” I said before I could think things through properly. They looked at me like I had said something so unbelievable. “You are adopting both of us?” Pappy asked in a questioning tone. He looked so confused it made me giggle. “Yes, I am dear I am adopting the both of you,” I said smiling down at them. Pappy jumped on his brother “SEE BROTHER I KNEW SOMEONE WOULD WANT THE TWO OF US! WE JUST HAD TO BELIEVE” Pappy exclaimed rather loudly. Some of the employees looked at us before continuing whatever they were doing. “Yeah bro, you were right,” Sansy said with a little light in his eyes.
“Okay let’s go get our final member of our family,” I said while grabbing their little boney fingers and led them to one of the pens. “You’re not only adopting us?” Sansy asked gripping my fingers harder. “Yep, I was planning on only getting them until I saw you two and I couldn’t just leave you two,” I said smiling at them warmly. “SO WHICH ONE ARE WE GETTING?!” Pappy asked Rather loudly. Guess I would have to get to his loud voice. “That is a secret I say as I search the pen. In the corner, I notice a Cherry though they aren’t playing with the other bitties they are just in a corner by themselves. Okay, I have decided that is the Cherry I want. “Can you guys wait here while I go get the bitty.” Both Sansy and Pappy reluctantly agree and let go of my hand.
I walk into the pen noticing the bitties looking at me. I walk towards the little Cherry in the corner of the pen. I bend down to greet him. “Hey, little guy,” I say in the calmest voice I can manage. He turns around startled by my greeting. His face turns red. “Hi…” he responds in a quiet voice. He was too cute I wanted to take all my boys home now. “So I was wondering if you would like to come home with me and two other bitties,” I ask in the same calm voice. He stares at me for a few seconds before showing me one of the cutest smiles and nods his face still tainted with a bit of red. I smile in response and I put down my hand so he can climb on. He climbs on and latches on to my finger. I was dying of cuteness overload. I am sure if anyone saw me there would be scared. I was busy smiling and giggling to myself like a creep.
I walked out of the pen and see Pappy and Sansy exactly where I left them. They saw me and smiled. It made me smile even more. I walked over to them. “So this is your new brother,” I say as a stretch out my hand so I can show them. “Huh... a Cherry. I don’t mind them.” Sansy says still looking down. Pappy though seemed to be lost in thought. “Do you like puzzles?” He asks in a quieter voice aware of the fact Cherries don’t like loud noises. “Um… yes?” Cherry replies in a questioning tone. “GREAT!” Pappy says in his normal voice. “WE ARE GONNA GET ALONG JUST FINE!” he exclaims. Cherry just nodded and smiled at Pappy. I, on the other hand, was trying not to die from the 3 of them interacting it was too cute. If it was always gonna be this way I was perfectly happy with that.
“Okay let’s get everything we need for you three,” I said as I put Cherry on my shoulder and grabbed Sansy and Pappy’s hands.
We spent two hours picking out clothes for them especially cherry since this was a bitty shop for bitties more of cherries size. Once we settle down we would go buy clothes for Pappy and Sansy in shops for little children.
“Did you find everything you wanted” The owner of the shop asked? “Yes and so much more. After filling the adoption papers I was on my way home with three bitties in tow. Two more than I had originally planned, but a lot happier than I ever had been.
