Shawn Spencer was never one to actually take on responsibility. Many people could tell you that without batting an eye. If you asked Gus, his best friend forever until eternity without it being gay, he would laugh and ask why you even doubted it. His father would probably do the same, without the theatrics. And Amy would agree with both, but they all secretly knew that he did care even if he didn’t show it all the time.

1989

Phil the turtle wasn’t eating again. Shawn tried giving him crackers, gummy bears, jelly beans and any other type of food small enough to fit in his aquarium that was in the house. But he refused to eat and looked a bit thin, or at least thinner than when Phil first came from the store.

“Ugh, stupid turtle.” He was getting bored. Maybe he could go over to Gus’ house and try the new bicycle he got last weekend. Yeah, that sounded more interesting that watching Phil blink.

He was about to leave the house when someone stopped him. Someone who looked very angry at him and would possibly not let him go to Gus’.

“Shawn, did you already fed Phil?”
“Uh… yeah!” Shawn already knew he was busted.

His suspicions were confirmed when his dad looked over at Phil and glared at him.
“Shawn! What did you put in Phil’s home?!”

“Food! But he’s not eating. I think we got a damaged Phil.”

Dad turned to him. “Shawn, there’s nothing wrong with Phil. You’re just not giving him the right food! Didn’t you ask for turtle food?”

“No, I was going to give him stuff from the house…” Shawn mumbled low enough so his father wouldn’t hear.

“Well, he’s obviously not eating what you’re giving him so find out what turtles eat before we have another grave in the backyard.” Guess he did hear what he said. Stupid parent hearing.
Since I finished one of my stories, I can start a new one!
