Ch. 45: Cindy's School Bully/Aristotle's Discovery
The next day, Cindy's back at school. She and her three friends are outside during recess playing. Her friends are a falcon boy named Cecil Jones, a cheetah girl named Leanne Myers and a cat girl named Sandy Brown. They're all in the sandbox, playing. Other kids are sliding, swinging on the swing set, going across monkey bars, playing kickball, running around and laughing, etc.
Sandy says, "Wow, Cindy. I really like your dress. Are you rich?" Cindy says, "Yeah. My daddy's a famous adventurer who's into mysteries and stuff. My mama's gonna be a lawyer really soon. You know that dark manor upon the hill?" They all say, "Yeah." She says, "That's my home." They says, "Wow." Cecil says, "That's awesome. Your mom and dad must get you a lot of stuff, being that rich."
They're unaware that their newfound bully Yuki Kawashima is watching from afar. She growls and she says, "Stupid rich girl. Gets everything she wants. Parents pamper her. Ugh. I can't stand a lot of kids here, but Cindy Owl... SHE is who I despise. Little miss rich... I'll put a stop to their happiness." She approaches them.
As Cindy, Cecil, Leanne and Sandy are playing happily in the sandbox, they suddenly see a foot kick their castle down and they gasp. Leanne says, "Hey! Who did that?!" They all look to see a red panda girl with medium black hair, tattered looking clothes, etc. She smirks and says, "Hey, little babies. What's up?"
Cindy stands up and says, "Hey! That wasn't nice, Yuki! What did you do that for, huh?" Yuki approaches her, grabs the front of her shirt and says, "Because, little miss rich... I can't stand you guys. YOU especially. So rich and spoiled and loved and pampered with all the toys and food you get. Watch your back, princess. I'll ruin you for good if you stand in my way! Got it?" Cindy sighs and says, "Whatever."
Yuki lets her go and she says, "Here's a little present from ME, rich girl." She grabs a little bit of sand, spits on it a few times and rubs it on the front of Cindy's shirt. The other three yells, "Hey!" Sandy yells, "Leave her alone, Yuki!" Cindy gasps and says, "Hey! My mama gave me that!"
Yuki grins and says, "Daww. I sorry. Is the spoiled and rich baby gonna cry to her loving mommy and daddy? Waa waa waa. Boo hoo. Deal with it, Cindy. Not all of us can afford what YOU have." She flicks a bit of the hair Cindy has and Cindy gasps. Yuki grins and says, "Later, you four lame-o's." She walks off and laughs.
Leanne approaches Cindy and says, "Holy moly! Cindy, are you okay?" Cindy sighs and says, "I'm fine. Thanks, guys." Cecil says, "Man. Yuki is mean." Sandy says, "Yeah. What did we ever do to HER? You especially, Cindy?"
Cindy says, "It's fine. Just don't listen to Yuki and her stupid stuff. I don't know why she hates me either, but let's let it go for now. Let's keep playing in the sandbox." They all agree on it and they all continue playing and talking.
***********************************************************
Meanwhile at Aristotle's hut, Aristotle and Arthur are in there. They've been married for a few years and have been happy with each other since. They hold the gem that was with Barnaby for one hundred years and what brought Arthur back from the dead.
Aristotle and Arthur are alone right now. Aristotle seems to be in some kind of mood. He has Arthur close to him and he smirks and says, "Hmm hmm. Hey, Artie.~" Arthur smirks and says, "Aries. You seem to be in a mood right now.~"
Aristotle says, "It's just us, big guy. Your touch and your proximity would be nice for me, right now. Know what I'm getting to, handsome?~" Arthur chuckles and says, "Oh. I do, my sweet little axolotl.~"
Aristotle giggles and says, "I could do that thing with my hands again, Artie sweetie.~" Arthur smirks and says, "Hey, alright. You've always been my kind of guy, babe. You can do a lot more. I'd like it, either way.~" They both chuckle and they lean in.
But before they get closer, they hear a sound and they look over. They see the same orange gem suddenly glow. Aristotle says, "Wait a second. That gem. It's not supposed to glow unless..." Arthur looks at him and says, "Unless what, Aries?" Aristotle says, "Not to kill the mood I was currently in, but when that gem glows... it means a new death can be brought back to life."
Arthur says, "You and my Billie did bring ME back with that thing and I'm thankful. Is there... anybody else you have in mind to bring back to life?" Aristotle says, "I'm actually not sure. I can't think of anybody else. I..."
Then it dawns on him and he gasps and says, "Wait a second." Arthur says, "What is it, Aries?" Aristotle says, "I think I know exactly who to bring back, now. (Y/N), Barnaby's wife and Cindy's mother has been mentioning her own dad for years. Her dad, James (L/N). Shares the same name with Barnaby's now late son who died of old age."
Arthur says, "Are you getting to something, sweet stuff?" Aristotle says, "As a matter of fact, I am." He looks at his goat husband and he tells him his plan. Arthur says, "This is going to be the biggest surprise for (Y/N) and her mom, especially. Her mom hasn't dated or seen anybody since HE died. Gayle herself told me all of this."
Aristotle says, "(Y/N) deserves to see him. It's been too long. She's been great to us. Great to Billie and her mom, a good wife to Barnaby, good mom to Cindy. (Y/N)'s a great thing to happen here. So is Billie."
Arthur sighs and says, "I may not have been fully interested in Belle, but the greatest thing from her is our daughter. Billie means the world to me." Aristotle says, "Yeah. Billie's been like a daughter to me since you've been gone. Still is."
Arthur says, "And now look where she is. Twenty-one years old and out on her own." Aristotle says, "Well, currently living with (Y/N), Barnaby and Cindy. But then again, living on your own is pretty expensive. Prices do go up."
Arthur says, "Yeah. I know. Even back in 2008 when Billie was born, prices kept going sky high with rent, groceries and everything." Aristotle says, "I'm doing it... I'm going with my plan. I'm bring that particular soul back from the dead. Especially for (Y/N) and Gayle's sake."
