A Day with the Grunts
A new day starts at the Grunt house. As General Buzz goes about his early morning exercise routine,
Ripp and Buck begin to stir and start their day.
Ripp drags himself out of bed and slowly stumbles over to the dining table and the bowl of cereal that Buck has poured for him.
While Ripp feels as though he could use another full night of sleep, Buck is bright and cheerful and ready for the day ahead.
With the boys already on their way to school, General Buzz is transported to the military base in a helicopter. Just one of the many perks he enjoys due to his status. He is usually in a good mood on his way to the base, where his commands are never questioned, disobeyed, and always completed promptly .
Ripp arrives home from school and practices his music. He doesn't consider himself an expert, but he still thinks the two bands that didn't want him, when he auditioned, will only continue to play in a garage. He deserves to play with more talented musicians.
He needs a band that will have great songs, real gigs, and lots of screaming fans. Fans that are female. Screaming girls and women, especially women. Lots of beautiful women. That's what he needs, a real band. Not guys who only play in their dad's sweaty garage.
Someday he will be a rock star. Someday...
The first thing that Buck does everyday after school is greet and feed the fish. They are the only pets he's ever had and he enjoys watching them swim back and forth in the large tank.
After spending a few minutes watching the fish and listening to Ripp screech his guitar, he runs upstairs to his room. He sits down in front of his toy ship and takes out two sailors.
"Arrr! Swab the decks until they shine, ye scallywag!"
"You're not my boss. Don't tell me what to do, you boogersuckingleech!"
"What did you say? You want a beating? Say one more thing and I'll pound you to an inch of your life!"
"Oh no, I'm so scared, fartlickingmaggotface!"
Pow
Bam
Wham
OWWW
"How do you like that? Don't ever disrespect me again! Now swab that deck!"
ahhahahaha
Buck and General Buzz spend quality time together before dinner.
General Buzz serves spaghetti and meatballs for dinner. His quick and easy
meals are a favorite in the Grunt household.
General Buzz uses small talk to try and keep everyone's attention from wandering to the
empty chair at the table. Dinner just hasn't been the same with Tank away at school.
After dinner, Ripp and Buck clear the table and wash the dishes. Or maybe it's just Buck that does the dishes,
while Ripp plays a video game.
"C'mon Ripp, help me out."
"Ok, hold on, just as soon as I finish this part."
"Ripp, I always do everything!"
"Yeah, yeah, hold on a sec."
Buck is not happy when Ripp avoids doing his part of the chores. Buck's
annoyance is always lost on Ripp, however.
All is forgiven when Ripp puts away his video game and plays red hands with Buck.
Ripp successfully avoids another night of chores.
General Buzz finds out that Ripp's grades have slipped even further and immediately lays into him.
"You're on the road to nowhere!"
"I don't need school!! I've got my music! That's all I need!"
"Get your act together or you'll be sorry!"
"Just leave me the fuck alone!"
General Buzz raises his hand to smack Ripp, but pulls back and walks out of the room.
Ripp slams his bedroom door and begins ranting and cursing at his father.
General Buzz counts to ten, after the door slams behind him, but continues to stew over the argument.
After some time passes, Ripp reluctantly decides to get some homework done.
Maybe, he should bring up his grades, then he can go away to school like Tank and get out of this stink hole of a house.
Meanwhile, Buck is up in his room, working on his homework. The moment he heard the yelling start, he decided he did not want to be next.
General Buzz takes out his frustrations on his punching bag. If not for that bag, he might be punching on innocent people.
The day ends finally and everyone will start anew again tomorrow.
I just want to thank all the wonderful creators. My game looks much nicer with your lovely creations.
