Fanta was always fond of pets and so far, he has had a puppy, two bunnies, a Pony, a one Hump Camel and a two-hump camel.  And even though Fanta did everything in his power to keep his pets happy, well fed and most importantly, alive, Fanta’s pets didn’t tend to live very long.

Almost all his pets had a very sad end to their short lives.

Fanta’s first pet was a puppy who Fanta had befriended when he was just a kid. The puppy was named Tuffy. Fanta himself chose that name. Tuffy used to live outside, on the road, as he was a road side puppy. But Fanta used to feed him everyday and even play with him. One day Fanta was told by his parents that they were moving into a new apartment, so Fanta was very happy and he rushed out and gave Tuffy the good news.  To Fanta’s displeasure he was told Tuffy can’t accompany him to the new apartment as they didn’t allow any pets. Fanta asked if Tuffy could live outside on the road as he does now but he was told a firm no.

Sadly, this was the end of a beautiful relationship of Fanta and Tuffy.

After a few years when Fanta’s parents again moved to a new apartment, Fanta’s dad got him 2 white bunnies so that Fanta would get over Tuffy. The bunnies were a couple and lived for a while before one of them died a mysterious death. Soon the other bunny died too and Fanta was heartbroken. Fanta was told the other bunny was sad over his partner’s death and committed suicide.

Fanta decided he would never talk about the bunnies ever again. A few more years passed and Fanta was now in New York, working. Fanta decided he wanted a pet and hence got himself a pony this time.

Fanta loved the pony and took it everywhere he went. Everyone used to stare at Fanta and his pony when they roamed on the roads together. But one sad day the Pony went missing. People from far away places came in to help Fanta find his pony. Some said it was dead, others thought it ran away. Some were sick enough to say someone ate the pony. Fanta couldn’t bear the thoughts and take himself out of this misery he did what any sane person would do. He got himself a new pet.

This time he bought a camel. Fanta rode the camel almost everyday and was very fond of it. The camel loved Fanta too.  One day while roaming the street Fanta heard a shootout and he had to see who was dumb enough to shoot in his city. Fanta went to see the shootout and chased away the wannabe gangsters. While Fanta was making his way back to his camel, he found his camel had been shot in the shoulder by a stray or, or maybe it was intentional. Fanta was devastated. Seeing as there was no way the camel would survive and seeing the suffering the camel was going through Fanta decided to take care of the matter himself. Fanta shot the camel between his eyes and with a heavy heart went away on his way.

Saddened by the loss of his camel Fanta decided he wanted to buy another camel, but this time he bought a two-hump camel as he had never ridden one. Fanta became attached to his new camel and would take him everywhere.

One fine day Fanta asked his boss if he could tie the camel outside the HQ and his boss said sure. So, Fanta tied the camel outside the HQ building and went in. Fanta saw a new guy in the HQ and everyone was welcoming this guy. Fanta also welcomed the new guy. At this time Fanta was told that there is a feast planned to welcome this new addition to the family. Fanta and everyone enjoyed the meal and when it was finally the time to leave Fanta came out of the building and found out his camel was missing. Upon enquiring nobody seemed to know anything. Fanta rushed to his boss and enquired. To his horror Fanta was told that the Boss thought Fanta had brought the camel for the fest today. The meat that Fanta and the rest of family was eating all night was in fact, Fanta’s camel.

Fanta was devastated. But there was nothing he could do, he came out of the HQ running, trying hard to hold back his tears.

Hera couldn't believe her ears when she heard about the camel feast! "Camel? Like, hump-day dinner kind of camel?" she screeched, her eyes popping like buttons. "And Fanta, the walking pet graveyard, brought it himself? This is juicier than a prime rib with a side of scandal!"

She started to spread the news like wildfire. "First the pony vanishes, then the camel gets mistaken for fancy snacks? Fanta, you're turning lunch into a game of food roulette! Who knows what's next? Maybe next time, he'll bring his new pet bear and they'll end up as dinner!"

Don Sylence was listening to Fanta and HERA while he puffed on the thickest cuban cigar humanly possible to smoke and hold

I think I heard about the camel incident from a friend of a friend...

He looked around suspiciously for a second and then realized he was in the clear and went back to his cigar

Rough times my friend but I am sure things are up from here! Definitely make sure you keep us all informed of your progress.

Fanta was admiring his new pet bear that he had bought for himself from Russia. While sitting on the chair he saw HERA come in and start talking about his beloved camel and the feast that followed its demise. Fanta was sad to have been reminded of the death of his pet camel, but he quickly gathered himself. He heard Sylence make a comment about the camel incident too and they both shared a moment but quickly averted their eyes. Mischief and guilt was dripping from their faces but nobody knew why.

Fanta heard HERA go on about how his new pet bear might also end up on a dinner plate, and all this food talk made Fanta hungry. He looked at HERA who was admiring her pet peacock she had brought in with herself. It was a beautiful bird.

A mischievous plan ran through Fanta's mind as he glimpsed at the peacock and then at Sylence. Fanta quickly picked up the knife from the table and ran towards the peacock and Sylence ran to close the door.

Before HERA could understand anything Fanta had already killed the bird and put it on the table. Fanta called his chef and instructed him to prepare a great feast.

Fanta looks at HERA and Sylence and says

"Friends. Tonight we dine on peacock meat."

Hera saw the mess Fanta had made and gasped, sending mascara smudging down her cheeks. Then, with a dramatic swoon, she crumpled onto a chair. 

"Barbarian! Did you really just sacrifice my fancy bird for a culinary disaster? Did you sprinkle fairy dust, at least?!"

Sylence was sitting at the table with his eyed wide open a bit shocked but he found himself instinctly putting a handkerchief across his neck and on his lap to avoid the blood getting on his fine suit while he ate. He motioned to the waiter to bring him another drink and he smiled as he was excited for them to dine

The puppy, the bunnies, the pony and camels were sure great pets even though most of them ended up meals. The fact that you go out of your way to save these animals and have such great adventures and keep them so safe just makes my heart felt...

Don Sylence muttered to himself "safe" and motioned to his bodyguards to keep their animals in the car for their safety. Offering HERA a rag for her mascara he just stared at the dead bird waiting for the feast 

Once the initial shock subsided, HERA wiped her mascara with the rag Sylence provided. All of them resumed drinking and waiting for the feast. After a while the chef brought out the delicacy he had prepared to perfection.

They all dined on the bird and enjoyed it a little too much. HERA who was shocked and sad about the demise of the poor bird was eating the bird as if she had been hungry for months. Sylence was enjoying his bird along with wine.

After the meal they sat at the table praising the cooking by the chef and thanked Fanta for the meal.

"It sure was a tasty bird." Fanta exclaimed. But soon he went into deep thought. Both HERA and Sylence were curious as to what he was thinking.

After a while Fanta asked, "Friends, we have dined on Camel earlier, and today we have dined on HERA's delicious bird, but what is next?"

Before anyone could respond Fanta continued

"I have heard Quini has pet rabbits and I've been told by my chef that they taste delicious."

They all smirk and laugh and enjoy their drinks. Fanta asks one of his boys to send out an invite to Quini for the next party and to tell her the party was pet friendly.

Pet friendly, Fanta listened to himself saying it with an evil smirk.

Fanta was sitting in his office with a drink in his hand, lost in his thoughts. He was thinking of ideas about the next party. Suddenly there's a knock on the door and a man walks in with an envelope in his hand. The man hands over the envelope to Fanta and tells him

"I have been sent by Don Quini to personally hand you this reply to your party invitation. When she got your invitation this is exactly what se said."

Fanta opens the envelope and it read:

Lol whaaaat, nooo

Fanta chuckled at the reply and said to himself, "Looks like she is aware of my evil plan".

He told the man

"Tell her, bunny or not, she is still invited if she is ever in the mood to party."

The man leaves and Fanta starts thinking of other people who have cute delicious pets, who might enjoy coming to a party.
