Final round! 3/3

Miss Minty Milkshake is your typical sweet little princess. Though not very social, she will entertain the occasional scritchums and treats. She is not afraid to tell another dog when they are being annoying. Her only flaw is her tummy problems, but honestly don’t we all have tummy issues?

LK 113: Mock Turtle Tells his Tale

(pt1)(pt2)(pt3)(pt4)(pt5)

Man's got a mile-long stare.

...You'd think she knew that already, what with her dad having fought in War Crimes, The War: Redcoat Edition.

Gotta love the guy awkwardly trying to get attention off the realities of war. At least someone can read the room.

...Something on your mind there, chief?

I swear this entire episode is just the writing room fucking with the voice actors.

I feel like I've seen this porn.

Well this is an awkward frame after that last comment

James is overwhelmed by role models giving him attaboys. Like a puppy getting ear scritchums. Seriously, someone tousle his hair.

And some teenagers are afoot!

I'm telling you, beagle/great dane puppy.

"I have literally run headlong into live fire, we thrive on danger, sir."

James honey, just because you somehow haven't gotten shot yet doesn't mean you'll never get shot.

Need I remind you that agent Phillips has 12 confirmed kills.

immediately suspicious.

Henri's got the best-attuned gut in this outfit. Also awww, she looks so left out.

*snicker* Yeah he will! With his dick

I know that night fishing is supposed to be sort of dumb/suspect in this scene but I night fish all the time, its the best way to catch catfish, since they tend to be nocturnal.

I'm sorry I'm not sorry.

Why is the officer of the marines a leprechaun.

Sassmaster Henri at it again

damn, girl's got on her Weigh-In face.

Its a book, you illiterate sumbitch

I know you're in the Navy so that kind of already answers my question, but have you never been around Army Wives.

The Better Sister

@flashfictionfridayofficial

My older sister came over for the first time since Dad's funeral. We talked about important things over the phone but we stopped being close by the time she moved to the city with a lucrative career lined up for her. It was strange seeing her outside of a holiday, and when I asked her why she visited, she said it was something to do while her boyfriend visited his own family. She helped me pick up branches scattered in the yard after a nasty storm.

"So," Cheryl said in between the cleaning, "have you kept up with painting?"

"A bit," I replied with little energy. "Not many people here really want what I make. And it's hard to get anyone on the Internet unless I'm a great marketer."

She nodded and added, "You know, Dana, if you're looking for extra money, you could go into programming like me."

"I tried, but it's too complicated, even with beginner courses. I just wish there was more stuff here where I could... I don't know, feel successful and happy."

"Honestly, that probably won't happen if you stay here. If you want my opinion, Dana, you should put more faith in yourself. Otherwise, you'll be stuck here feeling miserable."

I don't know why I was so mad at her for that. It wasn't wrong, but how she said it, like it was so obvious. Maybe things were just easier when she was the smarter and prettier one and didn't get why I might've struggled more. I just wish she helped me more before she left. I grit my teeth and put on my best face.

"Maybe. I do try, though. I recently got a raise at my job despite the headache it's giving me, haha."

"That's good to show some ambition. Glad to see you coming out of your shell. Looks like we're done anyway so let's get back inside."

"Okay, but it's not looking good. Mom got worse with the hoarding after Dad passed away."

"God. Is she home now?"

"No, out shopping. Kinda glad because we can just relax."

We walked on a clear path surrounded by mountains of CDs, books, movies, tools, food cans, magazines, newspapers, and other items that merged into towering mounds of junk. I cleared up some room on the couch as we channel surfed. Mom's cat Robert Scritchum jumped up to greet Cheryl with needy affection as she made voices and messed with his fur. I'd feel more like that if we got him while the house and our mental states were in better condition.

We ended up watching a bad b-movie about an alien failing to kill a bird with a laser gun to keep things breezy. The mindless movie just made me overthink about the future. Would things be alright if I moved out and left Mom alone? Should I stay and try to tough out my issues?

I just wasn't cut out for this dilemma with my mental and physical issues. Every view into the window hurt my heart no matter what I chose. Cheryl would've handled this better. She was always the smarter one. The flow of overwhelming thoughts burrowed into my brain with an absentminded "It should've been you who stayed."

I looked back at the TV and then at Cheryl. She heard me say that aloud.

"You want me to stay here?"

My face burned and my gut sank. That wasn't supposed to spill out and now she'd think I was guilt tripping her.

"I didn't mean it, it just came out!"

Cheryl's face was hard to read and fixed on me. Her shoulders relaxed and put her hand on mine to calm my nerves. My heart rate slowed and I could breathe and think easier.

"I just had a bunch of thoughts and one of them accidentally came out. It's like... You were the responsible, rational sister. Thinking about the future of the house and Mom and your career. You would've handled that way better than me. I'm trying, it's just..."

Tears rolled without realizing it, and her hand held mine tighter, and she looked at me with gentle eyes.

"Hey, Dana, look. I appreciate what you're saying, but it's not that simple. I just can't come back to this life. Not with how I've been living now. And you shouldn't have to burden yourself with this. I don't know the right answer for you, but you've got a lot of resilience to put up with a lot of this and still be you. No matter what, Mom and I will support whatever you choose. Just please don't stress too much about it."

I sniffled and leaned over to hug her, trying to not get my runny nose on her shirt. I don't know how much of that solved anything but it was nice to just say it and to hear her without judgement. Whatever tension there was went away as we continued watching the cheesy movie and could laugh more freely. For the first time in years, we felt like sisters again.

My parents’ cat Hamish has a special rug upon which he likes to receive his belly scritches. We call it his Tummy Rub Rug. My mother finally caught the performance on camera.
