Chapter 39: CatNap Vs Holden Howler: A New Day, A New Duel
It was a brand new day. CatNap was in the hospital, ready to go meet with DogDay, who was ready to leave.
“Guys!” DogDay said with a smile,
“DogDay!” CatNap said as he went over to hug him, “Feeling better?”
“Of course, buddy, I am! I'm medically cleared!”
“Good.”
“Let's go home and meet with the others.”
While walking home, DogDay looked up at the sky.
“When I was sleeping in that hospital, I had a dream where I was talking to my Dad, one on one.” He said,
“Really?” CatNap wondered,
“Yeah.”
“What was it like?”
“I talked to him about everything. My toxic mom, you, my friends, CraftyCorn, and… Kickin…”
“And what did he say?”
“He told me that he was happy that I was still standing and that I shouldn't use the past to make myself look weak.”
“That…”
“And then I almost snapped at him after telling me all of the bad stuff that's been going on and that I also have emotions.”
“Did he snap too?”
“Surprisingly, no, he was surprised by how I reacted. It was some sort of test he set up to make sure that I was using my emotions, but not all the time.”
“Oh, well…”
“Don't worry, he knows everything that's been going on ever since he died.”
“Ok then…”
Holden meanwhile was at a cafe, finishing up lunch when he then saw CatNap and DogDay.
“Hey guys!” He said to them,
“Hello, Holden!” DogDay said, “Happy you're feeling better as well!”
“Yes, yes I am!”
Holden then got up and left his money on the table.
“Hey, I'm sorry about Kickin.” He said,
“Don't worry about him, he's out of our sight.” CatNap said, “Except yours since you're still keeping his chicken butt on a leash.”
“Yeah… I am.”
Holden sighed.
“So… What are you guys doing?” He asked them,
“Not much.” DogDay replied,
“Yeah, except going home and meeting with the others.” CatNap replied, “Why?”
Holden had a confident look.
“I want to duel you, CatNap.” He replied,
“A duel?” CatNap said, “But you just got out of the hospital.”
“But I got in there from a beatdown, a physical beatdown by someone we don't know.”
“Right…”
“And you never had a chance to duel in the tournament.” DogDay said,
“True. So, what do you say, CatNap?”
