"Manami! Manami! Come quick!"

"Shhhh! I'm trying to watch Iron Chef!"

"NO! Come quickly! There was a strange noise coming from the garage and I know it wasn't Papa since he's not home from work yet!"

 

"It's probably Rei doing one of her stupid experiments or something."

 

"No! She's in the computer room with her science class!"

"Hmmm... if it's not Rei then it might be either Lenny or another one of those stupid tree rats. I should go make sure THAT hasn't been found."

"Alright, let's do this. Get behind me Mamimi. I'll open up the door and see if we can see anything."

 

"Ohhh...okay."

"Do..... do you see anything Manami?"

 

"No movement so that's good. Wait, what's that over there?"

 

DSC_0912 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"It looks like some kind of light on the far side of the garage. Did Papa leave it on?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOT THERE!"

 

"What are you yelling about Manami?"

 

DSC_0916 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"This can't be happening. If my stash is gone...... Well anyway, tree rats aren't smart enough to use lights so whatever is behind this towel is going to be a problem."

 

"I don't like this Manami...."

"Look, I'm gonna yank this towel away and when I do, you bonk whatever comes scurrying out with that rolling pin. Got it?"

 

"I..... I guess.... I guess so."

 

"Okay, here we go. 1.....2...."

"3!"

 

 

 

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"

 

DSC_0919 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"Huh?"

 

DSC_0920 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"AAHHHHHNOOOOOOO!"

 

DSC_0921 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"It's not a critter! It's a little girl"

 

DSC_0922 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"Oh it's a critter all right..... a dead one."

 

DSC_0923 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

 

"Come out of there little one. We have something to talk about. What have you done with my snacks?"

 

DSC_0924 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"AHHHHH NOOOOO! So scary!"

 

"Shh, shhh, it's okay little girl, we won't hurt you. Come on out so we can see you."

 

DSC_0925 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"Sniff sniff. I don't wanna go back outside, it's too cold out there!"

 

DSC_0926 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"No one is going to make you go outside. We just want to know who you are and why you're out here in the garage."

 

"Really? You're not going to throw me out?"

 

DSC_0927 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"Of course not. Now, what's your name?"

 

"It's Machii."

 

"Hello Machii, I'm Mamimi and that's my older sister Manami."

 

"Hello...."

 

"Is that a sock you're wearing?"

 

"Yeah, sniff, it's all I had to make some clothes from."

 

"How long have you been out here?"

 

"About 2 months."

 

DSC_0928 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"So this little crumb snatcher has been hitting my secret snack stash for TWO MONTHS?? No wonder my supply was always running lower than I thought it should be! I'm gonna throttle you, you little...."

 

DSC_0929 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"MANAMI! SHUT UP! You're scaring her! No one cares about your stupid midnight snack stash!"

 

"Whoa. Now *you're* scaring *me*...."

 

DSC_0930 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"Look Machii, it's going to be okay. We'll take you in and make sure you're okay. How did you get in here anyway?"

 

"I came in though the cat door. I was only looking for something to eat when I found this huge amount of sweets and chips inside that dollhouse."

 

DSC_0932 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

Manami - "Yeah, MY sweets! Speaking of the dollhouse, you sure did snatch a lot of our stuff to use. Are those cushions off our lawn furniture? And is that duct tape you're using as part of a makeshift table? And how many of Papa's cleaning rags did you swipe for blankets?"

 

DSC_0933 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"I know it's wrong to steal but no one besides that big guy ever comes out here and he never saw me. And the snacks kept showing up every few days so I thought I had a fairy godmother or something watching over me. I'm so sorry.... I didn't mean to take anything from anyone. I just thought all this stuff was being thrown away...."

 

DSC_0934 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

 

"Aww, shhh, it's okay dear. It's not a big deal. If anyone was stealing it was Manami. Let's put this behind us okay? We need to get you inside and cleaned up, you're pretty dirty."

 

"Sniffle.... ok. Thanks so much for being so nice!"

 

"It's fine dear. Let's go get you cleaned up. Manami, let's go."

 

DSC_0935 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"Manami? Where did she..... oh. Of course."

 

DSC_0936 by Billy Bennett, on Flickr

 

"Hmm? Whatever. I'm going to finish off my stash before the little thief changes her mind and tries to take it back."

Stay tuned for part two where Machii gets all cleaned up and shows off her new face up!"

MACHIIIIIIII♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ >:3 cant wait for part two.

You don't know Billy at all, do you. Once a homeless girl crosses his threshold, she has a home. He's a big guy with a big heart.

You never know who's going to wind up at your doorstep or cat door.

Awww what a sweetie. She wound up in the right place.

MACHIIIIIIII♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡ >:3 cant wait for part two.

 

It'll be up by the end of the week.

Thank you! Of course she will! See below for why.

Very true, I've yet to turn away ANY girl in need. That's why I have 64 girls now. And thank you very much for the compliment sir! I appreciate that quite a lot.

That's exactly right! Sometimes it's a cute little girl. Other times it's a rabid raccoon or squirrel.

 

Awww what a sweetie. She wound up in the right place.

 

Thank you very much! I appreciate the compliment!

Something about Machi reminds me a bit of SK's Tamayuki. I guess it's the blue eyes and gentle face. Maybe they're distant relatives?

Aww, poor Machii, she's been out there for two months?! Poor girl! And oh dear save her from Manami.

Boy, I missed this reply a while ago! Sorry. I guess she does kind of resemble Tama! I don't know where she comes from originally so I suppose she *could* be related to him somehow..... ^_^

Yeah she was sneaking around quite well since I never saw or heard her. But now she's a part of the family so no worries! And Mamimi has taken care of Manami.... she's not allowed to mess with Machii at all. Altho, I think Machii might have a grudge over this whole thing so who knows what will happen between her and Manami.
