Leave No Mouse Behind

Three Mice were getting ready to go to their optometrist appointments. Mice were notoriously bad at keeping up with their eye health so one day these three got together and made a pact that all of them would go to their doctors’ appointments together every year.

"How much further are we?" Barry asked the other mice.

"Come on Barry, you ask this question every year!" Sidney answered, "It's a 15-minute walk, we've been walking for 5 minutes, how much time do we have left?"

"Oh god, here comes math!" Shouted Dillon, who had a math phobia so severe it caused him to perspire at the mere mention of math occurring somewhere around him.

"Oh, now you've gone and done it!" Barry chided Sidney, "We all know about Dillon's math condition and you still had to go on and make me try to do math anyway!"

“I'm not going to take the blame for this!" Sidney shot back, "You knew about his condition too! But you still just had to ask how much further we were just like you do Every. Freaking. Week!"

Meanwhile, as Sidney and Barry were arguing, Dillon was starting to sweat so much he was falling behind them.

"Woo, it is hot right y'all!" Dillon offered then looked around, "Y'all?"

Sidney and Barry had failed to notice that Dillon had fallen behind. The two continued walking and arguing.

"You could have just answered the question!" Barry yelled. "Now Dillon is all flustered!"

"Ummmm…. Y'all?!" Dillon yelled, trying to get their attention.

"10 minutes! It's 10 more minutes! It's not that long of a walk to begin with!" Sidney sniped back at Barry

"You just don't know how to talk to people, always getting offended because people ask simple questions." Barry responded sharply.

Sidney and Barry were really far away now. Like, really far way. Dillon could see them off in the distance still arguing back and forth. Dillion decided he might as well make the most of this situation considering he probably wasn’t going to make it to the optometrist today. So Dillon closed his right eye and noted that he could still see his friends up ahead, then he closed his left eye and noted he could still see his friends up ahead.

"Well, guess that's my eye check-up for the year," Dillon said, as he took a seat under a tree and waited for his friends to come back and see him.
