AAOOOSC!: Gulls' Adventures!

Back in the kitchen, Zeppelin is lying on the countertop, eying Mr. Ernie eating his pellets, just as Ryan enters the room.

“Ry-aaan!” Zeppelin sing-songs to him loudly. “Mr. Ernie is not talking anymore!”

“That’s because he’s busy eating!” Ryan replies, passing by her.

Zeppelin peers at the busy hamster with a huff. “Ugh, so rude.”

Ryan steps back over to her and halts by her. “You wanna eat?”

“No.”

Ryan lifts a can of wet cat food into view and opens it temptingly. “Really?”

Zeppelin gazes at the glorious food in awe. “FOOOOOOOOD!!!” She then hops over to the can just as Ryan sets it down. She begins gobbling down its contents greedily.

With a warm smile, Ryan runs his hand down her sleek fur. “Like it?”

In response, he feels his cat purring as she continues eating, not saying a single word.

Matt walks up to him. He then peers down at Zeppelin. “Did it work?”

Ryan whirls to him. “Yes!” He throws his hands up in the air. “Thank you, Matt!”

Matt waves his hands out in front of him. “Don’t thank me, thank Monty!” He throws his hands out from his sides. “He kept the food here!”

Brandon ambles into the kitchen, awfully confused. “Uh, what?”

Ryan peers at him. “You kept the pet food here and it worked! It’s the cure!”

“Awesome.” Brandon halts in between them. “Now you’re gonna have to now get rid of the alphabet cereal.”

Ryan’s excited face drops. “Oh, right…”

“Aw, but that was such good cereal!” Matt yammers with a frown.

Ryan eyes him.

Matt huffs. “Fine.” He lightly pets Mr. Ernie. “To keep Mr. Ernie’s owner happy.”

“And to keep me happy.” His eyes widen with realization. “Oh my, if Kristen witnessed this…”

“At least she won’t!” Brandon tells him.

“Yes.” Ryan then scoops up Zeppelin, who is already done with her can of food, into his two arms. “Now that that’s solved, we’ll head out!” He flashes him a smile as he begins to walk off. “Bye guys!”

Matt scoops up Mr. Ernie and waves to Brandon with his free hand. “Bye-bye!”

Brandon lifts a hand in the air as a wave. “Bye!”

The two goalies disappear around the bend. Then the door slamming closed is heard, signifying that they have exited the house.

Brandon stands alone in the kitchen with a distressed expression. “What’s next? Objects talk?”

“Monty…?” he hears someone say from the living room.

He flicks his eyes ahead, spotting the sofa shift, like as if it is coming alive. His eye immediately widen with trepidation.

Then Nick’s head pops into view from the sofa, showing that it was Nick who actually spoke.

Brandon lets out a sigh of relief. “Whew.”

Nick turns to him with his typical sleepy expression. “Is there any lunch?”


The End.
