The figure that stood in front of the sleeping rabbit gently shook her body.
“Sammmyyyyy. You awake?”
She yawned, and turned towards the figure, opening her eyes to see her sister, Seafoam, kneeling in front of her.
“I am now…what’s up? What time is it?”
Seafoam looked up towards the clock.
“Almost 9am. Are your friends back to normal?”
Sammy looked towards Brian and Tyler, who were soundly asleep on Usui’s chest along with Jinx.
“Definitely looks like it. Their sudden transformation last night was so freaky…this is the first time I’ve ever seen it.”
She sat up and walked with her sister out to their makeshift farm in their backyard.
Seafoam turned to her.
“Do you think this’ll affect the trip in any way?”
“I mean I doubt it, to be honest. I’m sure we just have to plan for it, in the chances that it happens again.”
Sammy looked at her and laughed.
“I just can’t believe they scared you shitless.”
Seafoam puffed her cheeks as she raked at the dirt.
“Listen, you’d be too if you randomly walked in and saw two giant werewolves standing in front of you!”
“True, but even in werewolf form they’re both harmless. Especially Brian, because he seemed so scared about how he looked. I think for now it’s just something we’ll have to keep in mind as we travel, because I reckon sunsets like those will be hard to predict.”
The two would hear a loud yawn, and turn towards its source as a black snow leopard opened the back door.
Sammy waved at her.
“Howdy, Jinx.”
She softly grinned.
“Howdy Sam. Seafoam.”
“I wasn’t expecting you to be up for a while.”
“T’was kinda hard to stay asleep when you got a fluffy dragon hiferin’ all over ya and practically being this close to smothering you in his fluff.”
Sam chuckled.
“That’s true I suppose! Though…for someone who’s an all powerful dragon, he’s surely a coffee boiler.”
The three of them turned their heads towards the voice, belonging to Usui himself as he opened the back door.
“Ah heck, I didn’t think you’d hear that.”
Usui softly ruffled the rabbit’s hair.
“Then clearly you have forgotten that I’m a sound dragon, I can hear practically everything.”
“Bah. Right. I remember you telling me that.”
An idea popped into her head shortly afterwards, her hands repeatedly bapping the dragon’s chest.
“Oh! Speaking of!! Seafoam and I have to deliver some of our produce to the port city today. If you could be so kind, I would like you to use your echolocation to detect insects and stuff before we take the vegetables out of the ground.”
Usui gently nodded his head.
“Sure, I can set with that.”
He paused, looking at her with a sheepish laugh.
“…Sorry, I’m not used to western lingo.”
Sammy looked up at him, amused.
“It’s okay! We appreciate the effort, haha.”
Jinx put her paw on his shoulder.
“Acknowledging the Corn real quick, people here hardly use it. Sam and I have faked it since we were kids, just to confuse and make fun of the American tourists.”
Sam nodded in agreement.
“As a result of that, it just sort of stuck with us over the years. Honestly, you got nothin’ to worry about, my dear.”
The dragon’s cheeks glowed a soft lavender color as he scratched behind his head.
“If you guys say so.”
Jinx’s eyes quickly shifted to his chest area as part of it started glowing.
“Also, did you always have an Amethyst gemstone embedded in your chest?”
Usui looked down.
“Huh? Oh, yeah. It’s always been there, just very well hidden under my fluff. I’m a Gemstone Angel Dragon, so my life force is pretty much attached to this thing. Without it I’m as good as dead.”
The snow leopard nodded in understanding.
“Ahh. Well I was just curious, I just haven’t seen it before.”
Sammy gently pulled on the dragon’s arm.
“Now c’mon, lets get all these veggies up and out of the ground! It’s hot and I wanna be done asap!”
Pictures will come when I get to them lol
For now just enjoy what I've written!!
Heifer - Someone that loiters/loafs
Coffee Boiler - A lazy person
“I can set with that” - To be in agreeance with someone.
Acknowledging the Corn - To confess the truth
This comic series is, in a nutshell, going to be based on my own childhood experiences from growing up in the Caribbean with my family.
Caribbean Escapades primarily focuses on Brian and his close friend Usui. Joined by their friends, Sammy, Jinx, and Tyler, as well as their classmates, they leave their home island of St. Monusea and venture across the Caribbean for the summer; they experience new things and new people to befriend, and on occasion, old and familiar faces as well. And who knows? Maybe they'll discover new things about themselves, too!
