Chapter 24: A Lesson To Be Learned
RatedRat turned away as she scratched her head.
“Damn it!” She shouted in frustration, “URGHH! Damn it all!”
Hoppy then clears her throat.
“Hey! Wanna know why you lost?” She hollered at RatedRat with a question,
RatedRat turned to Hoppy.
“Oh boy, why did I lose?” She asked her, “Better give me a good response!”
“Because of your ego.” Hoppy replied, “You're always shouting on and on about how amazing your deck is claiming to be! You always use your ego to help you win instead of thinking outside the box.”
RatedRat chuckled.
“So?” She said,
“So?!” Hoppy said, “I'm giving you a point and feedback to duel better and your response is so?!”
Hoppy sighed as she turned away.
“You're never gonna change, that's for sure.” She said as she turned her back to RatedRat, “But take what I said as advice, otherwise you'll soon regret ignoring it.”
“If you say so!” RatedRat said with two middle fingers,
Hoppy sighed again.
“You're never gonna take the lesson and learn it.” She said as she gave Rat two middle fingers back, “Idiot.”
RatedRat chuckled.
“Well good luck in the tournament with 7 other critters!” She said,
“7?” Hoppy said, “Wasn't there supposed to be 16?”
“Nah, they changed it to 8.”
“Well, that sucks.”
CatNap and DogDay walked to Hoppy.
“There's gonna be 8 instead of 16?” DogDay wondered,
“Fancy seeing you two here.” Hoppy replied, “And yes, there's gonna be 8 all of a sudden. I somehow got qualified.”
“We still gotta sign up!” CatNap said,
“Well you guys better hurry! There's only 4 slots left!”
“Why don't you take us to where we can sign up?” DogDay asked,
“Ehhh, sure, I guess that could work. Come on–”
“--HOPPY!” A voice shouted, interrupting her,
A critter ran to Hoppy. She pointed to where she came from.
“What's going on?!” Hoppy said,
“It's KickinChicken!” The critter replied, “He's dueling our old English teacher, Mr. Wolfgang!”
“Oh great, something inside him must have snapped!”
Hoppy turned to CatNap and DogDay.
“I really hate beating around the bush, but you guys have to come with me!” She replied,
“R-Right!” DogDay replied, “Come on, CatNap!”
“Hey! Wait for me!” HoldenHowler shouted, “Kickin's my friend as well!”
“Might as well stay here.” DandyDragon said as she looked at RatedRat,
RatedRat gulped as she looked at DandyDragon while everyone else followed the critter to the abandoned warehouse.
“Uhhh…” She said, “So, you're friends with Hoppy?”
“What does it look like?” DandyDragon said,
“I'm dead.”
