Goodbye Bartleby

Created by: Daylight the Light Fury
It was a sunny day in the Rainbow Kingdom. It was also True's birthday. She and Bartelby were skipping along the road. It was then they noticed that pictures of Bartelby posted around the city. True gasped happily. "You're famous B!" She and Bartleby hugged each other. However, that was not the case. That moment, the Rainbow Kingdom citizens noticed that True had Bartleby, and they all started beeping and clicking on their mobile phones. 1 hour later, a old cat with a gray beard and silver fur walked up to them and babbled. "I am Master Cat, and there is a cat family who has been looking for their son for years. And here he is! You have a family Bartleby, and I'm sorry, but you will miss your friend's birthday. And, your family thinks that your friend here is a bad influence on you, which is why they won't allow you to visit True again, or even she visits you." Bartleby and True let go of each other and stared in each others eyes. There was a long silence. True broke the silence after 5 minutes. "But B... you never miss my birthday." Bartleby cried out, "I know! Who knew I had a family? And even though I have one, why would I go back? Why did they leave me if they loved me so much?" He turned to Master Cat and said firmly, "I don't want to go back." Master Cat looked angrily surprised. "You must go! They have been looking for you for you for years! Now go get ready. I will be expecting you at dusk, even though it will rain. Goodbye, young cat." And with that, Master Cat walked away. The walk back home was silent. Bartleby spent the rest of the day getting ready. When it was time to go, Master Cat was right. It was raining. Bartleby slipped on his red rainboots and yellow rainjacket. True stood in the doorway and before walking away into the road, Bartleby turned around. "I'm going to miss you True.", he said. Tears streaked down True's face and she replied, "I will too B. But I suppose it's for the best." Tears started down Bartleby's own face, and he ran back down the driveway and hugged her. A sharp stomp made Bartleby let go. It was Master Cat. "Time to go young cat. Enough touchy goodbyes." He grabbed Bartleby's paw and dragged him out of the driveway. Bartleby reached out his hand crying, but True had already closed the door. And he was being dragged farther and farther. "Time to ride the Cat Cloud." A big huge cloud resided in front of them. When Bartleby climbed in, Master Cat was typing something into a electronic pad in the front of the cloud, and the cloud started lifting into the air. This is nothing like Cumulo, thought Bartleby. He was being dragged farther and farther...
