“Mister Gribbi!” Skyla called as she wandered down the halls.
Hearing his name Gritti wondered out to the hall to see what the little girl
wanted. She had a plate of something and she was carrying it to him as
carefully as she could and looked so proud of herself.
“I make you lunch!”
She beamed. Gritti turned three shades of green in a matter of seconds, just
looking at it.
“What is it?” Ursa
asked coming up from behind.
“Fish and jam.”
Skyla answered with her big blue eyes staring at them. Gritti turned to Ursa
and mouthed out the words “Fish and jam.”
“Well, Sky, I ah
don’t know what to say, thanks.” As he took it, he realized that the fish was
still looking at him. It hadn’t even been cleaned, the eyes, head, tail
everything had been still on that fish.
He sat it on the table, Sky followed,
“Aren’t you going to
eat it?”
“I’ll do that in a
little while, I Grubbi made a big breakfast earlier and I’m not that hungry
yet. Skyla stood there with pleading eyes for a moment, before the started to
fill.
“Hey kid, look I’m
eating it, I’m eating it.” Gritti said taking a big bit and trying not to let
it come back. Skyla looked at Gritti then gave him a hug,
“Thank you.” She said
then turned and ran off.
“Your too soft
Gritti that little girl’s getting to the best of you.” Ursa said with a sly
grin. As Gritti started to throw the last half out.
Ursa had still been going on about how soft he was getting with her. Without a
word, Gritti walked over and put a small bit into Ursa’s mouth and ran while
she spit it out.
“GRITTI JUST YOU
WAIT!” Ursa called out after him.
When Ursa had come
back out, Skyla was back in what had been now known as Skyla’s tree she always
went up there, and there was nothing that anyone could do about that. So Ursa
just let her go as long as she didn’t go as high as she had the other day.
“Sky, have you seen
Gritti?” She asked with a mischievous look on her face.
“I haven’t seen
Mister Gribbi,” Skyla answered, before climbing down
and into Ursa’s arms,
“He
in trouble?”
“No Little One, I
just want,…”
“THAT IS MY MOTHER!
SKYLA! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT BEING HERE AND TAKING OVER!!!!,….”
Buddi was cut off by Ursa’s free hand connecting with his backside, Skyla looked
at Ursa stunned
“You spank Buddi!”
Skyla said with her eyes wide.
“I do sometimes,
Skyla.” Ursa said then put Skyla down.
“Can you go play for
a little bit, I need to talk to Buddi for a minute.”
Buddi swallowed, as Sky nodded and ran.
“I can’t believe your jealous over a five year old Buddi,”
“You called her
little one, THAT’S MY NICKNAME!” Ursa understood, but she went on telling Buddi
how silly he was for thinking that she was trying to replace him. Buddi thought
about it, and started to see Ursa’s point, he stood, and told Ursa that he
would go find Sky and talk to her. Ursa nodded,
“You have all day tomorrow
as well, cause we all have that meeting and you have to watch her.”
“Fine
with me.” Buddi said he had
liked being around Sky at times. She could be fun if she wasn’t getting into
trouble.
