Good Good Doggocat Laser Puke
1
Once upon a time, somewhere between a vertical and a horizontal line in space-time, there was a doggocat named Laser Puke. He was the result of a crossbreed between a star-hunting greyhound and an electric mouse-hunting cat.
2
Laser Puke was filled with unreturned love for his adoptive family. He was a misunderstood doggocat. Unfortunately, every time he got emotional, he would vomit lasers. His adoptive family was unprepared. They had adopted him thinking he was just a very normal doggocat.
3
Laser Puke would get so overwhelmed that if a kind neighbor ever stopped to scratch his head, they risked being sliced in half.
4
But the power of his laser wouldn’t stop there. It could cut straight through anything in its path.
5
When his family realized that simply taking him for a walk could destroy the entire neighborhood, they had to face the truth. No one knew how to handle his uncontrollable emotions. Emotions that could start with a simple wag of the tail and end with the entire city roasted.
6
One day, thanks to a scratch that relieved an unbearable itch, Laser Puke lifted up his muzzle and unleashed a laser so intense that it burned through the roof of the house. The beam, shot into the starry sky, was visible from miles away.
7
At that very moment Meringa was observing the same sky for a school project. She was in her room with her most trusted companions: her magical hat and the brilliant perfume. But neither of them could explain what she had just witnessed.
8
The next day, when she told her classmates about the event, no one had an answer. That evening, as her parents dozed off on the couch, she declared that she would find the source of that mysterious flash. She took their silence as full approval to embark on a new great adventure.
9
Meanwhile, standing before their scorched rooftop, Laser Puke’s adoptive family tricked him into getting into the car. They believed they had no choice but to commit a terrible act. Pretending to take him on a weekend trip, they planned to abandon him to his fate.
10
Meringa put on her magical hat, bid farewell to the brilliant perfume, grabbed her backpack, and set off, determined to follow the coordinates of what she had seen from her distant room in Squary Eyes City.
11
The family stopped at a parking lot. They all got out, their faces gloomy, full of sorrow. Laser Puke, on the other hand, was bursting with happiness. He didn’t know how to contain his joy. It was his first trip with his adoptive family! He felt like the luckiest doggocat in the world. A doggocat with four and a half lives—yes—but four and a half special, happy lives.
12
The father picked up Laser Puke’s favorite bone and threw it far away. Laser Puke chased after it. When he joyfully returned with it in his mouth—no one was there.
13
They had run away.
14
When he understood even just half of what had happened, an unbearable pain overtook him. Laser Puke began to sob, letting out small whimpers and sparks charged with frenzied electrons. His tears, crackling with electricity, made him flash dangerously, striking fear into everyone around him.
15
Alone. Without a family. Without love. Laser Puke sat on his hind legs, curled his tail around himself, and after a single, muffled howl, exploded into a laser blast so powerful that it shook the surrounding buildings and knocked out the city’s entire power grid.
16
Meringa, still on her journey, saw the new laser and immediately ran toward its source.
17
Nothing could have prepared her for what she would find—a mixed-breed doggocat, overwhelmed with sorrow, unleashing a laser so powerful from his tiny mouth.
18
In front of a terrified crowd, Meringa took off her magical hat and threw herself onto Laser Puke, embracing him.
The doggocat felt something—something gentle and harmless wrapping around him.
19
He felt something he hadn’t known in so long.
20
Something he hadn’t felt since he was separated from his parents. He hesitated. He wasn’t sure if he deserved it.
21
In that embrace, Meringa was telling him something: that he had found his first true, inseparable friends.
That they would never abandon him. That he was perfect just as he was. That he never had to wonder again if his new family would leave him behind, or worse—if he was defective, unworthy of love.
Of course, all of this depended on whether Meringa and her magical hat wrapped on the doggocat had survived his laser.
22
With the townspeople still stunned and frightened around them, Meringa uncovered Laser Puke, holding onto him until he began licking her face, bouncing around her, releasing small, harmless electric sparks of true joy.
23
Laser Puke was happy. Truly happy for the first time since being separated from his parents. He had found his new adoptive family.
24
He was so certain, so completely sure of this new feeling, that he let out one final burst of phosphorescent lightning—an incredible, glowing explosion of happiness.
Doggocats aren’t known for their sense of smell, so it must have been pure chance. But that lightning found its way to his fleeing adoptive family, who had already traveled dozens of miles, striking them with a final, incredibly precise laser blast.
25
When Meringa arrived home, Ibisca, Garlico, and the brilliant perfume were enveloped in a cloud of electric happiness. Meringa’s family had gained a new, irreplaceable member: Laser Puke, the doggocat.
