Apolloxxx Toddxxx PatriceThe three walked into the domed room, a blue egg in the arms of little Todd. It was comical actually, the size of he egg compared to little baby Todd. Don't tell him I said that, but it really kind of looks like the egg sprouted little grey feet and hands and is waddling around.
Of course, this wasn't too far off, because right after the door to the domed planetarium was closed, the egg began to shake and break. It rattled and rolled, and Todd said nothing about it to his two partners. No, instead they walked off towards the kitchen, and Todd was left with an egg that was threatening to hatch. His ears drooped a bit, and he placed the egg down. He stared at it for a moment, and then decided he didn't want it to hatch, and hugged his body around it, trying to prevent further cracking on the egg to happen.
Of course, as Apollo and Patrice reached the kitchen, both of them looked around for Todd. Apollo was just going to ask what he might of wanted for a bit of a snack (since all they have is junk food...none of them are cooks...), but he wasn't around to ask. The two looked questioningly around the room, and through the dark they saw Todd, and what looked to be like his little form attacking the egg with a hug.
"What in the world...?"Apollo looked at the kitchen hungrily, trying to weigh his options. See Todd possibly having emotions and caring for an egg, or filling the empty void of a stomach with enough junk food to hibernate through an apocalypse?
"Oi, that egg is hatching." Apollo heard the small crack too, and quickly decided he'd rather be there to see an egg hatch than eat right this second. Him and Patrice scuttled across the room, and looked strangely at Todd. Todd looked at them, and slowly backed off the egg.
"What?" His voice suggested he had done nothing wrong, and they shouldn't be looking at him like they were. Apollo and Patrice dropped it, and watched as a small dark blue fin broke through the egg.
A blue fin, and another. A small Tirtouga head and two small fins were out of the shell, looking around the room, at the stars, and then it's eyes finally landed on...Todd? It's mouth opened wide, and it paddled towards Todd, breaking off the other bits of the egg, exposing a red rimmed shell, a yellow inside, decorated with a slightly different hue of red, in the shape of a "S".
Apollo stared as the small creature flopped with all it's strength towards Todd, who looked at it like it was nothing above a rock. On the inside, Todd was violently asking it to go, to 'shoo'. Of course, Todd didn't let the other two sense his uneasiness, instead he got up and headed towards the kitchen, tummy giving a rumble just to put a mark on why he was leaving. His stomach knew he wouldn't have the courtesy to say anything, so it did it for him, hoping the others wouldn't get mad at him for leaving a babe who so obviously wanted him around.
