Disaster strikes when the Holo Captain finally meets his first Offi
Alternate title - "Holo Seymours Guide to getting rid of annoying
hamster in a thousand stomps or less!"
Who: A four inch tall White Wolf, and a now seemingly incredibly tall
girlfriend, Allie Fletcher.
Where: In Allie's living quarters.
When: After Phil downsized White Wolf...
> White Wolf saw her get up from the bed, pulling on a
> nightgown and begin walking towards him while rubbing
> her sleep bleary eyes, she glanced down at him on the
> floor, shook her head and blinked her eyes, rubbing
> them with her hands some more not believing what she
> saw. Then she opened them to look at him again,
> and she sat down, bending her head down towards him.
> She then said, her voice low so she didn't hurt his
> small ears, "I'm going to have to kill Phil, aren't I?"
> "No, honey, that's a very bad idea," White Wolf
> replied. "I need him to fix me."
> "Then can I kill him?" she asked innocently.
> "No."
> "Frell." She turned her head, thinking. "I hope I'm
> dreaming this. This is very disturbing."
> "Fraid not, Allie. But worry ye not. The mechanoid I
> built is going to help Phil fix this little problem,"
> he explained.
> "Yes, very little," she mumbled. She turned back to
> him. "How long before you're normal size again?"
> "A couple days, hopefully."
> She nodded. "Sweetie?"
> "Yes?"
> "Does this mean I get to be Acting Captain until then?"
The little hamster paused in surprise, and then said dumbly, "Yeah
know Sweetheart, I hadn't thought of that! It certainly would solve
my problem of trying to give orders while trying to keep from falling
into the cracks between the seat cushions of Niples command chair.
Alright I'll agree it on a few conditions, Allie."
Allie's face lit up and her voice rose a little in
excitement, "Really? What are the conditions?"
"Ok, First, it's only to be a couple of days, plus, if any
emergencies arise, you are to contact me, Ok?"
"Oh come on - you know I've always wanted to be Captain! Just being
one for a couple of days won't to be enough. Couldn't you please give
me a little more time to revel in the glory of it all?"
"Um, I'm sorry, Honey. I'm going to hear about as it is, and I can
only get away with it for a few days anyway, because it's a
technicality!"
Allie put on a pouting face, for a moment, and then she
relented, "oh, alright. Are there any more conditions?"
"Yes, In case there is an emergency, I'll need something to help me
get around faster that my little legs, as I've already gotten a leg
cramp once while trying to make my way here from Trisees's lab. Could
you go down to Mckenzies and buy me a motorized wheelchair?"
"I've got an even better idea." Said Allie, as she got up and went
over to her closet and pulled out a small wrapped present and return
to slide it in front him, "This is a present I was planning on giving
to Tara to give Rufus & Amber the next time I stopped by the Medi-
bay. But I guess you can use it more right now."
"What is it?" Asked the little hamster standing up on his tippy toes
trying to examine the package.
"It's a matched set of 1/16th scale completely working miniatures of
the old military Humvee's of the 20th century", explained Allie,
while ripping the wrapping paper off the package, setting a little
metal Hummer in front of him.
"You're kidding!" said the little hamster, while sticking his head
into the vehicle's front drivers side window, and looking at the
inside. He tentatively reached out and turned the steering wheel to
the left, to see if it worked. And sure enough, the front wheels
turned to the left exactly as he had turned the steering wheel. He
then quickly reached out and turned the ignition key, and to his
amazement the motor started up. He exclaimed," Excellent! This is
exactly what I need. So that leaves one final condition then Allie.
And that's getting Holly to officially accept my leave of absence due
to my unexpected medical condition."
"I knew there was going to be catch." Muttered Allie disappointedly.
"Have faith, my dear." said the little hamster, before turning
towards the towering wall monitor and yelling "Holly!"
There was a pause.
"HOLLY!!!" yelled the hamster louder.
There was another pause.
"HHHHOOOOOLLLLLLYYYYYYY!!!!", Shrieked the little hamster until his
eyes nearly bulged out of his head, and his voice almost cracked.
Holly appeared on the monitor with an sliding off his forehead, and
said with annoying, "Excuse the mess, I was trying to learn how to
juggle these eggs went you called... " he paused looking at Allie
and the hesitantly asked, "Didn't I hear Commander White Wolf call me
from here or Did I get the wrong wall?"
"Yes you did, Holly." squeaked the little hamster.
Holly shifted his head right, and then left and muttered, "I must be
getting wax in the ears, for I swear I heard him just now. Just a
moment, Miss Fletcher, I'll bring up my ear cleaning routine."
Suddenly a q-tip appeared and angled towards one of his ears.
"Holl, he's here." Said Allie, while pointing down; to the small
hamster that was tapping his foot in annoyance.
Holly tilted his head down, and said, "Oh, there you are Commander,
What can I do for you?"
"Holly, I'd like to take a two day leave of absence due to my current
condition and turn over the role of acting Captain to Allie here."
replied the little 4 inch tall hamster.
"Alright. I'll notify the new hologram of Captain Niples in La Regal
Mckenzies that he's in charge while taking your leave of absence."
replied Holly before blipping out.
"What new hologram of the Captain?!?" Exclaimed Allie, but it was too
late, Holly was already gone, she looked the little hamster and
asked, "What the frell was he talking about?"
"I don't know. I'm going to go down to Regal's and check this out,
something smells fishy here, because I wasn't informed that a higher
ranking hologram was activated, and technically I shouldn't have been
in command if that was the case. But, in the meantime, Allie - why
don't you get dressed and report to the drive room and take charge
anyway. I'll be in touch with you as soon as I find out what's going
on.", replied the little hamster as he hopped into the miniature
Humvee, and drove it towards the door.
------------------
Later, in the Promenade
White Wolf turned on the windshield wipers of the miniature
hummer as he zigzagged it through the snow and crowds gawking at the
winter wonderland that was now the promenade, while muttering to no
one in particular, "If Stewie weren't around, I'd almost say this was
another one of his store sale stunts. I wonder which nut on board
created this anyway... Ah, there's Regal's!"
The humvee pulled up just as the restaurants door opened, and a huge
foot stepped alarmingly close to the metal toy.
"Hey, watch where your stepping!" yelled the little hamster with
concern out of driver side window of the little metal vehicle.
The Holo Captain suddenly looked down in disgust, and said with a bit
of boredom in his voice, "Egads, a vehicle driving rodent, oh how
droll! Be off with you, foul rodent.", while waving his hands to shoo
the little White Wolf away.
"Excuse me, But *I'm* your First officer!" yelled back White Wolf.
"Oh, I think not. I couldn't possibly have done such a stupid and
senseless thing. Now go away, before I stomp on you." Replied the
Holo Captain, starting to walk away.
"Alright, who are? Cos you certainly ain't the Captain Seymour I
know."
The Holo Captain suddenly stopped in mid stride and spun around
lifting his foot above the metal toy, "That's it, I'm stomping on
you."
"ACK!" Screamed the little hamster, suddenly flooring the Humvee's
accelerator and sped off, with the Holo Captain bounding after him
like some insane giant trying to stomp on an ant.
The little hummer darted through the crowd and up a crudely erected
snow slide with the Holo Seymour a mere few feet behind.
As White Wolf directed the hummer across the upper level of the
promenade and into and out of several of the interconnected window
shops, he gunned the little engine as he took the straight away
towards the one of the promenade's exits.
Suddenly, Zack came running out of the exit, slid on the unexpected
snow for a few feet, and then started to fall, but in the process
reached out and grabbed at several of nearby store racks trying to
get his balance. Zack knocked over several of the racks blocking the
humvee's straight away to the exit, before he finally fell prone and
slide in front of the little onrushing metal hummer.
The little hamster tried hitting the brakes fast enough, but the
little vehicle began to run over Zack anyway, so he plaintively
called out "Sorry Zack!", and he turned the hummer left to avoid
hitting the fallen racks.
White Wolf hit the brakes again as he realized he was headed for the
stairs, the little car teetered off the edge, as the Holo Seymour
suddenly caught up and raised his foot high above the toy.
The little hamster braced himself for the impact, then the soft light
holo foot stomped harmless on the little humvee.
"Smeg! He's a softlight hologram. I was wasting my time he couldn't
hurt me all along." Said the little hamster breathing a sigh of
relief, and slumping forward on the steering column.
"Uh oh!" said the little hamster snapping his head up while realizing
his second error, as the little humvee suddenly tilted forward since
he shifted his weight too far forward, and went tumbling down the
stairwell.
The little metal toy bounced down 172 steps with the little hamster
screaming "AAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaa" all the way down. It finally came to
halt upside down after crashing through the shop window of one of
lower promenades stores.
"There, that's all fixed." Harrumphed the Holo Captain, while dusting
off his hands, and nonchalantly walking off towards the promenades
exit.
