Falling for you

Chapter 7

Alli's POV

"Ho-ho finally some action down here." A new voice said. I looked over seeing a kangaroo, "Boy it was getting boring down here." I looked at John, "You know doc I hate to tell you and your little girlfriend but you're both going down my friend." The kangaroo said. "Okay this has got to be my mind playing tricks on me." "Try again sweetheart I know you can hear me." I stood up and looked at John, "Why am I talking to animals and hearing them reply to me?" I asked. "I don't know but you know what he's saying?" John asked. "Completely and it's freaking me out." I said. "Well you get use to it." He said. "Really?" "Yeah even tho people will look at you like you're insane and...." "Shut up!" John and I said pointing at the kangaroo.

"Whoa she's got a temper you and anger issue bro probably would get along." "He was my brother in law." I said. "Oh damn both of them they're weirdos." The kangaroo said. "Yeah I've lost my mind." I said looking at John.He chuckled, "In the right corner wearing golden stripes, with a sparkling record of 872 kills Barry 'The Butcher' Berstein." The kangaroo said. "First thing I am gonna do when I get out of here is....." I was saying when there was a growl. I stopped and looked at John, "Dr. Dolittle remember me your old patient. It's Barry." The tiger said walking out. Okay now I am hearing an insane tiger talking, "John." I said.

"Barry how could I forget you?" He asked not taking his eyes off the tiger. "Oh but you did Doc we were just starting to make progress and then you ran off with Rassouli's daughter and abandoned me." The Tiger said. "Well uh....I'm back now eh perhaps we should just pick up where we left off." John said and moved quickly.

Barry turned and looked at me, "Nice Tiger easy boy." I said backing up. "If she only knew how many people said that huh doc?" Barry asked. "You know I can hear you." I said. He looked at me then John, "Yeah she can don't know how must've been learning." "Oh and what might your name be?" "Uh how much do you like the Nolan brothers?" I asked. "Colin and Robin they're alright but James was so nice then he ran off and got married." Why does everyone have to like my husband more than his brothers.

"Why do you ask?" Barry asked. "I just wanna know." I said. "James was the best but he died with Lily they should've been married but Lily married him and James married a girl name Alli." I looked at John, "So you don't like Alli then?" John asked. "Eh could care less why?" "Cause that's her right there duh Barry kill her." The kangaroo said. "Seriously?" I asked him. "Sorry sweetheart have to get my cash somehow." He said. "You're James' wife?" Barry asked. "Uh yeah I am." I said. He lunged and I slid out of the way quick going by John, "That is a very pissy kitty." I whispered to John who nodded.

"All I hear day after day 'Oh Barry you're such a disappointment why can't you be more like your brother he eats poacher for a living you know.' Yes mother I know." Barry said. Okay wow this Tiger is completely nuts, "The whole jungle knows." He said and grabbed both mine and John's chains. "Oh my head." "You're migraines are brought on by severe maternal issues and compound by sibling rivalry." John said. Barry let go and fell into John's lap. I went to help John but he told me to stop.

"Oh no, no, no, no." The kangaroo said. "Mind your own business will you?" I asked him. "Lie down." John said. "Oh my head." "We could resume your treatment." John said. "The stress is unbearable I just want to be a good boy." Barry said and tripped me. I saw how close to his head I was and got away quickly as John told me to, "I just want to make mummy proud."

I watched as I picked the lock on my chain when there was a tap on my shoulder. I looked seeing Robin, "What are you doing here?" I asked. "Give me your cuff." He said. "Why you doing this?" I asked as he unlocked my cuff. "I fell bad I forgave you along time ago Colin has gone insane wanting to kill you I said let's leave her be when I saw you I was mad but then I saw you and your brother and it hit me that you didn't get my brother killed and I am not going to let that happen." Robin whispered.

I got my wrist out, "Dolittle" Robin whispered. John looked as Robin held a key, "Let me I can get over you know it." I said. Robin handed me the key, "I'll keep watch." He said. "What whoa, whoa buddy." The kangaroo was saying. "Keep your mouth shut or I'll cut you lucky foot off." Robin said. I walked over being careful, "I will never be good enough unless I eat you." Barry said.

I pulled John's chain just in time to save him, "Sorry." I said. "Because every mother want their son to grow up and eat a doctor and his other half." He said looking at me. "You are sick kitty." John said. Barry chased us and we climbed up the wall, "Come here you two I'll make it quick." Barry said. John shown something to distract Barry while I grabbed the key quick, "A cat is still a cat easily distracted." John said.

I just about got it when Barry grabbed his chain, "John." I said as he just hung there now. "Stay there don't you jump down." He said. "Oh yes jump down Alli go save your boyfriend." "Well we're not technically boyfriend and girlfriend." I said. "Right now seriously Al?" Robin asked. "I am just clearing the air." I said when there was an explosion. "What was that?" Robin asked.

I looked at John and we both smiled, "Alli." John said. I felt something pull me down, "Uh oh." I said and fell on the ground. I stood up quickly tho, "Alli it won't open." Robin said. Barry chased me and I dodged him as much as I could, "Therapy's always the answer Barry!" I called to him as he continued to chase me. I was near a wall and slid out of the way as he hit head first.

I climbed to the bars, "Alli are you alright?" Poly asked. "Do I look alright?!" I asked as I was slipping I saw Chee Chee. "Chee Chee." I said as he tried to grab my hand but I fell down. "I got ya both now." Barry said. "Back off Barry." Poly said flying down. "Poly don't." John said. He swatted at Poly and she went to the corner, "Who to eat first?" He asked looking between the two of us.

He lunged at me but something tackle him, "Chee Chee?" I asked shocked. He fought with Barry, "Oh no, no, no." John and I both said. Chee Chee stood up, "It's okay to be scared." He said over and over again hitting Barry on the head. I don't know if I should be scared for Chee Chee or be proud of him, "You should be scared." Barry said.

I was almost hit by Barry but was grabbed by John when I saw Chee Chee kick Barry where the sun don't shine, "That's gotta hurt." Robin and the kangaroo said at the same time. Chee Chee put Barry to sleep and put his blanket over him, "We have a winner." John said. Our cell door opened and we walked out. "Now go." Robin said. We ran out dodging guards and all that going to the row boat only to be met my Müdfly.

We sat down and I stood up still, "I have it I have it!" Tommy cheered. I held my hands for him to stop but he didn't which the army did, "And now I'll have it." Müdfly said. I was leaning against John, "She had such a sure hand." John said. "Exactly what the doctor ordered." "More like dickhead." I said looking at Müdfly.

He glared at me and I just smiled, "It's okay Yoshi." I said hearing him bellow. "What did they offer you Müdfly to murder the Queen of England?" John asked. "Quite a few thing actually Knighthood, Windward house, chair or the royal college in no particular order." He said. "Oh and the icing on the Madeleine will be the scientific accolades that accrue from the proper study of the Eden Tree all thanks to Lily Dolittle and charts of James Nolan." He said.

I stood up, "You found my husband's charts?" I asked. "Oh yes I did." He said. "You know I've been searching for those charts for a long time it's the only thing I have left of him." I said. "I do which makes this even more better." Müdfly said. "Actually no that's still Madeline the icing is knowing that you both know I won." He said getting on his boat. "Also Dolittle I'm so sorry for that hole in your boat." He said pointing at our boat when a canon ball went through it. We watched as our only boat got sunk but on a plus side Yoshi save Plimpton so we still have him around.
