Time to wake up the board. ^_^
Chapter 26.
Smart Guy's POV.
I woke up in a cold sweat. Sweat was begun to run down my forehead as I panted heavily. I buried my face in my paws. I had the weirdest and scariest dream. There were three laughing dying dogs, green monster with needle like teeth and razor sharp claws, two hooded figures standing near a frightening creature, and then Becky was there being taken away from the monsters.
I shook my head trying to clear my mind. I looked around and realized that I had fallen asleep in the apartment. I laid back down on the couch and stared at the ceiling. Just then I heard the door open. Sitting up I saw Greasy walking in holding a purple lizard in his paws.
"Hey Grease," I muttered tiredly. "What's with the lizard?" He looked at me.
"It's Rosa, she's...gone." he said. I raised my eyebrow.
"So?" I asked. His eyes widened a bit.
"So?!" he snapped. "So?! Smart Guy, I just lost my family!"
"It's not the end of the world."
"How could you say that?!" he hissed at me. "Don't you even care?" In reality, I wasn't paying any attention to him. I was still a bit dazed about the dream I had. I had my gaze fixed on the wall in front of me. I shook my head clearing my mind.
"I'm sorry, did you say something?" I asked. He glared at me.
"Estupido," he spat in Spanish. "Do you want to know why you don't even care?!" I blinked at him curiously. "You never lost any one!"
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Just think about it, Psycho's family abandoned him when he was sent to the asylum, Wheezy's father just died, Stupid hasn't heard from his brother since, I lost my younger sister and mother, just face it Smart Guy, you haven't lost anyone in your family." I stared at him.
"Why are you so snappy about this anyways?" I said coolly.
"I'm not!" he snapped.
"You just did." I smirked. He glared at me and started muttered a few curses in Spanish.
"You know what," he finally said placing the lizard down. "It doesn't even matter any more." He turned to leave, but then he stopped and turned towards me. "I'd look for Giggle if I was you." He started walking away. I stared at him curiously.
"What do you mean?" I asked.
"Ya no me importa que quieres saber, viejo!" he spat at me. Then he went into the restroom. I stared at him curiously. Giggle told me she went to the Acme factory with her other two brothers.
"Guess I should go and check on them." I muttered standing up.

I parked the van near the Acme factory, got out, and started walking over to the main entrance. As I got closer I could hear faint music. I paused and tilted my head, I thought I heard some laughing as well. I got to the door and opened it. Inside the factory, I started looking for Giggle, Snicker, and Chuckle. I turned a corner and I saw a large band machine, a rabbit making a fool of him self, and the hyena trio, laughing their heads off.
I watched curiously as the rabbit started singing to a tune that I never heard about. The hyenas were laughing at the crazy lyrics and action the rabbit was doing. I couldn't find anything funny to this, it seemed real stupid to me.
The rabbit then jumped on a pogo stick and started jumping up and down. He jumped a bit too high and smashed his head on a light bulb, he got static shocked.
Chuckle fell over with laughter. Giggle was trying to stop herself from falling over. Snicker was lying on his back and was pointing at the rabbit. Just then Chuckle jumped as though someone shocked him, then he let his tongue roll out. I squinted and saw that a pale green figure that look like Chuckle, came out of his stomach and was floating towards the sky with at grin on it's face. The same thing started happening to Giggle. I suddenly realized what was going on, the hyenas were laughing them self to death.
Snicker was the only one left, he was still laughing a bit but he saw what had happened to his brother and sister. Then his soul started creeping out of his stomach. Snicker yelped and tried pulling it back in.
"Hang on Snicker!" I shouted. Snicker kept on pulling on to his soul, but his soul was much stronger. His soul pulled free and it floated away. Snicker fell backwards, dead. "NO!" I shouted rushing over to the lifeless bodies. I bent over Snicker to see if he was breathing, he wasn't.
I felt a pit in my stomach, but the feeling suddenly changed to anger when I saw the rabbit swaying around with dizziness. I got up to him and grabbed him by his shirt collar.
"You did this!" I growled.
"P-P-Please!" he stammered. "I didn't mean it! I swear!" I ignored him and started dragging him away to a hook. "The whole thing was a set up. A scam. A frame job!" I tied him up and went over to the control panel.
"David wait!" the rabbit shouted. I looked over at him.
"How do you know my name?" I growled at him.
"Your Al's friend right?" He asked. "I'm Roger, the rabbit you guys kept on knocking out." I walked over to him.
"Oh, yeah I remember you." I muttered.
"Thank goodness!" he sighed.
"Well, anyways bye." I said turning around.
"Wait!" He called after me. "You can't leave me here! It was an accident! I didn't mean to kill them! They just wanted to see my act for when I audition for a role in a TV show!!" I closed the Acme door behind me and decided to head home.
***
As drove towards my home I started thinking about what the rabbit said before I left him there. Did he really mean it? Or did he do that on purpose? I shook my head and tried to focus on the road. The dream I had earlier came back to me, the laughing, dying dogs. Those must have been Snicker, Giggle, and Chuckle.
I pulled up to my house and saw that the lights were out. 'Must have gone to bed already.' I thought getting out of the van. When I got to the front door I saw that there were claw marks on it. I stared at it for a moment before opening the door.
The whole place was destroyed. The couch was shredded, picture frames were shattered on the floor, and there were claw marks every where. I took a step forward and felt something wet. I looked down and saw the thick green drool was every where on the floor. I looked up.
"Mom?" I said quietly. "Dad? Becky?" I started walking around the house looking for them, but the house was found deserted.
"Mom? Dad? Becky? Where are you guys?" I called. I went into my parents room and saw my father's suit lying on the bed with a note on top of it. I walked over to it and read the note.
David,
I know that your birthday isn't for another three weeks,
but I just wanted you to have this. David, I just want you
to know that your mother and I love you very much. And
even though she doesn't show it, Becky does love you as
well. Happy Birthday son.
Love, your father.
My heart sank when I read that. My dad was gone, my mom was gone, and so was Becky. I put the pink suit in a gym bag and went back into the van . Grease's words came into my head as I started driving away from my home. "Estupido! Do you want know why you don't even care?! You never lost anybody!" I gripped the wheel tighter with anger and sadness.
'Well guess what Grease!' I thought bitterly. 'I just did lose somebody. I lost my cousins, my mom, my dad, and my sister! You happy now?!' I felt alone. I felt unwanted. I felt...guilty.
I drove up to the apartment and stopped the van. The apartment would be my home from now on. I climbed out and headed towards the room where the others were.
When I got there I saw the purple lizard on the couch. I picked it up and looked at it. It's green eyes stared up at me, those eyes reminded me of my dad's green eyes. I plopped my self down on the couch clutching the lizard close to me and silently cried myself to sleep.
One more chapter, and then Epilogue.
