Dukee was sitting at the edge of the family room because he came out of his bedroom. Mia walked out of her bedroom and saw Dukee sitting there licking his paw.
“What are you doing just sitting here?” Mia stopped and asked.
“I’m just thinking,” he put his paw down.
“What are you thinking about?” Mia looked at Dukee.
“Well, Auntie just told me that she’s thinking about dropping our story and creating a new kid's story,” Dukee looked at Mia.
“No, really? But why?” Mia asked.
“Well, she said she thinks that it’s getting boring. But she also said that maybe she could make it more fictional and add characters who we can talk to outside,” Dukee lifted his other front paw to lick it.
“New character’s to talk to outside? What does that mean?” Mia scratched her ear.
“New character’s like us talking with a lizard, and stuff like that,” Dukee put his paw down.
“Oh, so we would have friends on the outside,” Mia said.
“Yes, something like that,” Dukee stood up and walked toward the hall.
“Well, that would be better than dropping our story altogether right?” Mia followed him.
“Yeah, but I think Auntie wants some input from her followers too on what she should do,” Dukee jumped up onto the side table.
Mia trotted over to her table and jumped up onto it. She hopped up onto her kitty tower and crawled into the tunnel part. Dukee walked to the end of the side table and sat down.
“I guess she’s thinking that it would be times like this where one of our new friends would come up to the window and talk to us,” Dukee looked out the window.
“But we don’t understand lizard language,” Mia looked outside.
“That’s why the story would be considered more fiction,” Dukee looked at Mia.
“What is fiction?” Mia looked at him
“It means not real or true, but made up” Dukee said.
“But we are real?” Mia said.
“Yes, we are real but talking lizards aren’t,” Dukee scratched his ear with his back leg.
“Oh, okay, I think I understand now… I like having a story about us,” Mia looked back out the window.
“Yeah, me too but Auntie wants to make it more fun for everyone. So she needs everyone’s help to make a decision. Should she make it more fictional by adding more talking characters or Start a completely new story?” Dukee Asked.
“I think she should just add more characters,” Mia said.
“Well, it’s not up to us Mia. But we can cheer everyone else on to help us,” Dukee said.
“Yeah, root for Mia and Dukee and some new characters,” Mia bounced inside her tunnel.
“You are so funny,” Dukee looked at Mia.
The two of them watched out the window and thought about their story. Is it going to end? Or can it be made better? Let me know in the comment section.

"Oh! Look our friend, Larry Lizard, is knocking on our window. We better hurry over and see what he wants." "How sweet! Larry brought his friend Gracie Gecko to meet us. They say "we want to be in your story too". "We better tell Auntie to please keep our story going. We could pull more shenanigans like our friend Marie does. We find a way to climb up the curtains. We could knock stuff off the top of the wall unit. We could figure out how to get inside the wall where the drier vent hose goes. Marie has lots of fun where she lives. Her mom tells Auntie about her adventures. And if Auntie is writing fiction she can make up things for us to do. Lets go find Auntie. Bye bye Larry and Gracie"
I agree with Mia, I think adding new characters will keep the story going.
