The Princely Pet Chronicles: Part 1

by prince_scorch

Caneliat was relaxing on a beach in Mystery Isle with her brother Yihungiat when their owners' cell phone rang. "Scorch, pick your cell up!" Yihungiat shrieked. Scorch the dragon jumped up and sprinted to the spot where his phone lay in the sand. He answered it.

"Yo, wassup, Scorch here."

A deep man's voice uttered, "I have a task for you. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to find the prince who shares your name."

"You're speakin' to him," said Scorch.

"Oh," the man said, "then forget it." Scorch turned the cell phone off.

"Who was it?" Caneliat inquired.

"He was trying to Scorch-er-sell us something," Scorch replied.

The cell rang again. Scorch stomped on it. He magically conjured another phone. "It's me, Goepinflames!" It was his sister.

"How's Caneliat?"

"Annoying!" Yihungiat announced.

Because Goepinflames was at a bullfight and yelled it he could hear it.

"Shut up, dino-dude," she screamed.

"Stop it!" Scorch screamed into the phone.

She hung up. "Oh well," said Scorch. Yihungiat heard a voice. "Come save us!" it shouted. Yihungiat jumped up and scrambled for a small car next to him. "PET POWER!" he exclaimed. The car went by abruptly and crashed through an island barrier. Two coconuts were hauling a cart ahead. Yihungiat took out a helmet, put it on, and knocked the cart over, sending Muntandos crashing down. He raced into an unknown division of Maraqua and the car became a submarine. Yihungiat went for a dip in the ocean! He zipped along and popped out in the Haunted Woods. He zipped up the path and skidded to a stop in front of the Monster Mansion (Haunted house).

Yihungiat hopped out of the car and trudged up the path. "Here we go…" he sighed. A young lady came out. He remembered her from the story with the Kacheek and the Quiggle. "My baby! They took her!" she screamed. "I'll get her!" he yelled. A small baby crawled out of the bushes a few yards away. Yihungiat dashed towards her but she went into the house.

"NUTS!" yelled the Scorchio. He plodded up to the frightening abode of evil. A chill ran down Yihungiat's back as he gawked at the scary domicile. He trembled and accidentally made a knock that sounded like a drum roll The door fell over. Yihungiat bounded into the house like a Gelert would bound up to its owner. He strafed along the wall and peered around the rampart. A hideous creature sprang up from a gargantuan stool that looked like it had been carved by a master whittler. A light came on and Yihungiat ran at breakneck speed, although he was at average. "Hah!" he screamed as he leaped over a fissure in the ground, squawking out the occasional "AHHHHHHHHHH!"

He hopped onto the stairs and fell through the first. He hit the ground. "Ow…" he said. "That musta done a few HP." He then became unconscious. When he came to he heard a voice. It trembled.

"M-m-m-my best fr-fr-fr-friend…"

Yihungiat woke up. "Jeremandrew?! How'dya get in?"

"I was about to ask the same question," muttered the blue Uni.

"Laugh, laugh," retorted Yihungiat.

"Thought ya were dead."

"Oh, I was."

"Shut up, Sarcascorchio."

They both laughed and when they stopped, the place came into focus. Yihungiat queried, "Got some wood?"

"I broke down some wood over there."

"Cool."
