Dueling Critters, a Smiling Critters x Yu-Gi-Oh AU Story

Chapter 8

“Like watching two critters wrestle in a car?” DogDay said, “You two like to watch urban sports which makes no sense!”

“Wait, that's a sport?” Bobby said,

“That and extreme slapping.” Bubba replied,

“And extreme tag.” CatNap said,

“Well at least THAT'S entertaining!” DogDay said, “Hell, we grew up with tag, so that gets a pass.”

Hoppy went over to CatNap.

“Well, look at the cat that defeated Kicken.” She said, “You're gonna sign up for the tournament?”

“...I still haven't made a decision yet.” CatNap replied,

Hoppy chuckled.

“Alright, whatever, but I have something for you and DogDay.” She said,

“For us? What is it?” DogDay wondered,

“A friend of mine and Kicken is hosting a party at his place tomorrow night. Wanna come by a bit? It ain't a big house party. All we're doing is chilling, drinking fruit punch and listening to some music.”

“Oh, sure, as long as it's nothing major like drinking alcohol or disturbing the peace, then I'll be there!”

DogDay turned to CatNap.

“What do you think, CatNap?” He asked him,

CatNap sighed.

“I guess I should go there for a bit.” He said,

“Good!” Hoppy said as she lightly punches CatNap on his right shoulder,

“Oww!”

“Be there or be square, suckers!”

Hoppy walked away. CatNap rubbed his right shoulder.

“Did she have to hit me?” He wondered,

“I guess that's a way of telling you that you're still her buddy.” DogDay replied,

“No she's not. Remember what I told you about how she and KickinChicken flipped the fingers at me during the last text messages I had with them?”

“...Oh, now that you mentioned it…”

“That's what I thought. Besides, as long as they're gonna try and toy with me, I'll be sure as Hell to screw up their fun.”

“Woah, let's not get a bit violent.” Bubba said as he cuts in,

“Violence is sometimes my best bet of getting out of situations like KickinChicken pressuring me with his words.”

“...You do you. DogDay, please work after him.”

“Don't worry, I always do.” DogDay said,

Bubba sighed.

“Anyways, it's been meeting with you two again.” He said, “Should we see you tomorrow at lunch?”

“Uhhh… Sure.” DogDay said as he turned to CatNap, “You don't mind company, right?”

“...Just don't be loud.”

Bubba chuckled.

“Alright, it's decided then.” He said as he turned away, “Take care everyone. I shall be heading home.”

Everyone said and waved goodbye to Bubba as he left. CatNap and DogDay left together while Bobby and PickyPiggy were still in the courtyard. Bobby looked at her deck of cards that are considered her favorite.

“...Are you sure my deck is good enough for whatever tournament Hoppy mentioned?” Bobby asked Picky,

Picky looked at Bobby a bit surprised.

“Come on, Bobby, I'm sure it's fine.” She replied, “I mean, it's not competitively good, but casually it's good.”

“Ok, now you're just saying random things.” Bobby said, surprised as well,

“Come on, Bubba taught us these more mature words throughout our lives.”

“Well that's true, but…”

“Hey, don't worry about it. I'm sure it's good enough.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes, positive.”

PickyPiggy stretched her arms.

“Alright, I'm gonna head home.” She said, “Take care now, Bobby.”

“Alright.” Bobby said,

PickyPiggy walked away as Bobby sighed and blushed.

“Picky…” She said, “When do I tell you how I feel about you?”
