Pepe's Adventure Log 2 - The Red Spray-Thingy and the Circle in the Yard
It was now a boiling hot summer, so the family had no reason whatsoever to leave the house. Of course, this meant a little less adventuring for Pepe, but they would all go outside to barbecue or to play in the large circle outside (Swimming pool), so he did have some time to himself.
One time, while going to retrieve this journal, Pepe stumbled upon a mysterious red object. It did not seem to be the "turtle" that kept ignoring him, instead, it was a cylinder with an odd hose attached. Pepe occasionally sniffed at this hose, but no water came out for him to drink. He figured it must be a broken hose, so he decided to leave it alone most of the time.
One day, some smoke arose from the oven. Pepe always watched the kitchen, for it was his favorite room, and when he saw the oven smoking, he thought some creature was inside, a creature using the oven as a sauna.
His family, however, quickly began a commotion at the oven being used as a sauna for some creature. Bengetto, the father, brought in the mysterious red cylinder from before, and, with seemingly no trouble at all, caused it to spray mysterious white stuff, almost like snow, at the oven. Pepe figured it must have been suds to clean the creature inside while he relaxed, so he simply crawled off.
However, he was still very curious as to how the father had made the hose spray and how he, Pepe, couldn't. So, one day, while everyone was inside, Pepe wandered into the yard, and to the little shed. He investigated the red cylinder carefully, wondering if he had missed something, but there was nothing that Pepe could flip, squeeze, or push that seemed to make the hose spray the snow-like white stuff again. So, he left the cylinder, apparently called a "fire extinguisher" (Pepe read this on a label on the cylinder while looking for a switch), to have a nap after it's furious spraying of white stuff from earlier in the week.
While Pepe wandered back to the house, he became curious again; this time at the circle. He knew it had always been there, but he wondered what was inside the circle that made his family become so excited, especially during the summer, when it was so hot. So, when he saw his owners head out to the strange circle, he decided to follow them, albeit slowly, to see what was so exciting.
After Dakota had climbed the ladder, Pepe waited patiently to find out what the commotion was about, when he was suddenly splashed by water! Pepe shook all of the water off of him, and, deciding that this mysterious circle must not like him very much, went inside to sleep underneath a lamp.
