Roan Picks A Pumpkin, Chapter One
"Noooooooooooooo!" screamed Roan at the very top of his two-year old lungs.
Azzy, the eldery female kitty, did a double take, as this was a very rude interruption of her morning breakfast.
Cano, the fiesty young male kitty, rose to an alert and scrambled to make his way to Roan's side, ready to assume any challenge put forth.
Roan stomped to the door but he was too late. Daddy had already left for work.
"Nooooooooooooo!" he yelled again, this time in his Mommy's sleepy ear.
"Roan, Daddy will be back tonight. Today is Friday, which means we have him for the entire weekend. An extra day with Daddy!"
Roan's smile cautiously returned.
"And tonight is a special night," Mommy continued.
"Tonight we pick a pumpkin from the patch!"
Roan looked up at Mommy, still not quite in command of his words. "Pump-In?"
"Yes, dear, we'll pick the perfect pumpkin. We'll then decorate it for halloween and display it so all the neighbors can see it's your pumpkin."
The kitties stared at each other, wondering what this meant.
Will this pumpkin require water from our water bowls? Food from our food bowls? Heavens forbid, will this pumpkin need to share our potty?
They meandered back to their eating areas to stockpile some additional food for later, just in case.
They snuck past Grimsley Manor and retreated behind the Rickety Rail Station. When the Scaredy Cat Ferris Wheel turned on and spun it's eerie wheel, and began playing its' creeky noises, the kitties were definitely spooked and sped hastily under a bed.
Roan, prone to playing chase with Cano, stuck his head under the bed.
Cano then whispered something in the special kitty-to-child language which can only be muttered by kitties and understood by kids.
"Roan, I'm warning you now. They had a pumpkin last year, too. You know what happened to it?" Cano asked.
Roan listened intently.
"They carved it up, removed its' seeds and then baked them in the oven!"
Roan shrieked and stood there stunned.
Not this year, he thought. This year, I'm going to protect the pumpkin!"
