Butterflies are Evil
Chad was reclining in one of the overstuffed chairs at the Lair reading through the book his uncle had gotten him over a year ago. So many cool and totally useless facts to read through, some he had even shared with his audience. His friends rolled their eyes at him every time he talked about his A Moment With Chad show.
So he did his show when they weren’t around, like now. He sat up and grinned looking around, realizing that he was indeed alone. He gave a nod before placing his book on the table next to him, then spoke. “I found the perfect cool and totally awesome fact to talk about today.”
Jumping up he went to the closet and took out his chalkboard on an easel and set it up. Using the chalk, doing his best to ignore the god awful sound the chalk was making on the chalkboard. He couldn’t contain the shiver completely and paused right after writing A Moment With Chad at the top.
“If I remember correctly, there is a term for that feeling you get when you hear chalk on a chalkboard.” Chad looked over at the book then shrugged. “Maybe save that for a later date.” Grinning he went back to writing on the chalkboard before turning around and walking back towards the table where the book lay.
“Good thing Vanna isn’t here for this episode of A Moment With Chad.” He proclaimed then motioned towards the board. “This episode is called Butterflies Are Evil! How could I say such a thing you ask? Well, let me tell you.” He lifted up his book and opened it. “It says right here that Butterflies are Cannibals!”
He nodded. “Don’t believe me, look it up. Our little mother nature would have a fit if she learned that her precious Butterflies that she claims are one of the most beautiful creatures were actually cannibals.” He snickered. “Bet none of you knew that.”
The Door opening had him leaping over the couch and grabbing the easel and blackboard quickly. He had just slammed the closet door when Vanna and I.Q. came down the stairs looking at him funny.
“You okay Chad?” Vanna asked him as he tried to act nonchalantly as he could while sending a silent prayer to any of the deities listening in that Vanna doesn’t look in the closet.
“Fine, just fine.” He smiled brightly, too brightly but the other two just shrugged.
“Telly and the others are meeting us at the Den, you coming?” I.Q. said as he grabbed the Stargazer and turned to leave.
“Sure, let’s get going.” Chad said motioning for them to lead the way. Vanna gave him a funny look but continued up the stairs with him breathing a sigh of relief as he followed them.
Vanna turned to look at Chad as they neared the top of the stairs. “By the way, call any of my butterflies cannibals and I will order them to eat you.” With that said she turned around flounced out of the room leaving I.Q. with a smirk on his face and Chad just staring after her.
Turning to look out at everyone reading this he spoke. “And you all think she is the sweet one.”
“Let’s go.” I.Q. grabbed his arm still chuckling and shut the basement door behind them.
