The [Guard] opened his mouth and yelled “Apologize” as he bent Bob in half forcefully. Bob said “I don’t wanna!” In a whiny voice. Micky was just confused. The [Guard] Forced Bob into the ground and said in a quiet steady, but sinister tony “I said a-pol-o-gize. So. Apologize. Now. I’m not asking. And when we get back you’re telling your mother to beat your ass till you can’t sit or lay down for a literal week. If I find out she hasn’t I. Will. Break. Your. Ass. Do you understand me? IT’S MY JOB! You literally are trying to get me kicked out aren’t ya? You little shit.”
Bob was just crying on the ground at this point. This was the first time Micky had ever seen Bob cry. His mother had never made him cry, nor his father, nor any adult or kid either. As far as Micky could remember Bob had never cried or had a reason too. He always got what he wanted in the end, nobody dared bully him, and he wasn’t the type to cry over a booboo. So this was probably the first time. He didn’t even cry when his dad died, but that was probably because he didn’t understand that his father was ‘never coming back’. He was never rejected by a girl, or at least not for long, except for Susan.
Now Bob was crying with his face in the dirt, his usually literal ‘get out of jail free card’ was the one shoving him into it. And Micky couldn’t help but feel a bit of guilty pleasure run up his spine. At least he kept his smile off his face, or tried to. It wasn’t so much a smile as a smirk. But he couldn’t really help it at this point. Bob always won, period. This felt so good, and he knew that was soo bad.
“Even if he apologized I wouldn’t except it. Do you know what he’s done to me?” said Micky
“Let’s see, pushed you into a slime pit then left you for [Dead], stole your [Achievement] and now the town is partitioning to have it changed, which isn’t how that works.” he said, that last part a little more pointedly and focused more towards the now sheepish audience.
“That’s only the start of it, he has spent his time entertaining himself by making my life miserable all because I’m a [Pink Mage] and he’s a [Brawler]. My fucking name isn’t even Micky, but nobody remembers what it was because this bastard started calling me Micky and that’s all people remember. There’s not enough forgiveness and apologies in a [Temple] for me to forgive this shit.” Micky said.
“I did not know about this, if it is what you said I’ll look into it. All the same, he will apologize.” The [Guard] said. Somehow Micky doubted that, since this was the guy that bailed Bob out every time the trouble he got into was just a little bit too much for his punchable pretty face.
“I don’t really have time for this, so if you could not cause a spectacle in front of my house that’d be greeeaat.” Micky said
“We’ll be back again to apologize, this little shit is actually very sorry.” The [Guard] said. He lifted Bob out of the dirt and dragged him along until the boy could stand on his own. Bob did not look sorry, even with his ear being nearly taken off. No, Bob looked like there will be hell to pay and Micky was pretty sure he was back on top of Bob’s shit list.
Actually, he was pretty sure that he was the only one that was on what Bob could reasonably call his shit list. Of course Bob had a shit list of things that pissed him off to no end. But the fact that the sky was blue instead of his favorite color, bright red, was something he put on that list, so Micky didn’t count that.
Looks like I’m going to have to find a few more spots to hide, and a few more things to do, Micky thought. He turned around to see Jimmy staring. “Sorry you had to see that.” Micky said sheepishly.
“Are you kidding? That was amazing. Bob finally got his ass handed to him. I would pay good money to see that. If I’d known this is what it took I’ve got soo many ideas. How the hell did you do it anyway? That guy is usually ‘Bob’s right you’re wrong’ all the way.” Jimmy said

“Oh nothing major, just near death experiences, a bruise the size of my cat, which still hasn’t gone away even with bonus health regen, my cat turning into a [Monster]...” Micky
“Ok, ok, I don’t need the whole list. I get that It’s not so easy, and I’ll never be able to do it, sheesh.” Jimmy
“And a [Kingsmen] and [Warden] combo that put Bob in his place.” Micky said smugly. Jimmy just gave him a glare of annoyance. Micky gave him an eye-roll back. Jimmy punched Micky in the stomach. *Geho Geho* “Ok, ok, you win.” Micky said then [Dead] dramatically. Jimmy just threw up his hands and was done with this farce.
Micky and Jimmy played with Pepperoni in her new ‘Kitty Palace’. It was quickly becoming another of a long list of banned words in her opinion. Micky took out his [Staff] now [Named] ‘The ultimate ancient branch of Yggdrasil’. Pepperoni was tearing it to shreds. There went the slime totem at the bottom. Pepperoni was most interested in that it seemed. When it bounced out of her ‘Kitty Palace’ Micky would shoot it back in. Then Pepperoni would bounce it from paw to paw until it eventually bounced out again.
After cleaning out Pepperoni’s cage- palace, Micky went into his room to read. Jimmy brought out some new books from his Spacial necklace. It was [Soulbound] to him so it would be both ignored and couldn’t be removed. Did Micky forget to mention Jimmy’s dad was rich? He felt like this was important to be jealous of right now, but honestly he was more interested in ‘The adventures of the legendary [Hero]’s academy volume 62: the demon kings final return 2’.
“Hey, whatever happened to that awesome painting I lent you?” Jimmy said.
Micky made sure to secure a certain spot of his bed “No idea, you think I would keep it here where my mom could find it?”
“Good point, but tell me when you find it. That was a special order secretly taken of a foreign princess. It’s a numbered signed collector’s item!” Jimmy said
“I’ll go looking for it later but I’m busy right now.” Micky said as he got more into ‘legendary [Hero]’.
“So Bob’s pissed at you now.” Jimmy said
“Yup.” Micky said
“Come on man.” Jimmy
“Look, I don’t know? I mean sure Bob’s pissed but what can he really do, you know? Throw me into a slime pit? Throw me into a dungeon? He’s already done that. Leave me for [Dead]? Turn the village against me? He literally can’t do anything he hasn’t before. I mean why should I be scared of something when for once I’m the one with the advantage. Bob can’t do anything because the [Guard] won’t move on this. The village can’t do anything because I have the kings support on the dungeon. The baron won’t piss off the king either. And there’s nothing I could do even if I wanted to. Which for obvious reasons I don’t.” Micky said
“Wanna go peep on Susan?” Jimmy asked
“Can’t, she’s not home yet. Didn’t hear her scream from the frog, didn’t hear the door open. Didn’t hear the bath. Nothing to peep on.” Micky
“Dude, you’re a total perv. How do you know she’s gonna take a bath?” Jimmy
“She takes a bath after she comes home from work, she has a well for it out back all specially made, and I’ve lived next to her for my entire life. I know her schedule like I know she has a mole on her left butt cheek” Micky
“And if I wanted to get this schedule?” Jimmy
“I’ll give it to ya but what’s in it for me?” Micky
“That limited edition princess Monroe.” Jimmy
“Ya?” Micky
“I don’t have just one special edition signed painting.” Jimmy
“Better make it a full series.” Micky
“Done and done.” Jimmy
“I can have it for you in a minute just give me a piece of paper.” Micky
----------------------------------------
After an awkward moment of Jimmy waiting for Micky to finish
“It’s even got an hourly schedule? And how do you know she takes 5 minutes to wash up before her bath?!”
“Don’t underestimate peeping [Skill]. Have I told you I have a schedule for Mrs. Morris and...” before Micky could finish his parents came home.
“Hay mom? Is it ok if Jimmy sleeps over?” Micky asked
“Of course, he’s basically our son already. How are you Jimmy?” Mom said
“I’m doing fine Lady Anderson” Jimmy said
“Lady am I, see, this is how you sweet talk a gal Micky. If you had half of Jimmy’s silver tongue and stopped all that peeping, maybe Susan or that other little lady you have a crush on would already be your girlfriend.” Mom
“How did you know?” Screamed Micky
“Oh dear, never underestimate a mother’s intuition when her children are about to do something bad or it will eventually lead to grandchildren. My mother new about your father before either of us were even born.” Mom.
