Chapter 47 - Justice For Lizards

Natalie, Amber and Jessica all sat at the outside table of the restaurant along the street. All three had been best friends since middle school, and now into their mid twenties they were still inseparable. Of course Amber and Jessica were the closest. They had matching bff bracelets and even went to the same college. The three girls were incredibly beautiful. Amber was a petite young white woman with blonde hair in a ponytail. She wore a bright pink dress and red platform Demonia Cramp 03. Beside her was her best friend Jessica. 

Jessica was a tall white lady with long straight blonde hair, she wore a white dress and tan platform boots. The third wheel was Natalie. Natalie was a young lady of Indian descent, she had short straight jet black hair, she wore a white skirt with a green jacket. She wore a pair of knee high chunky black platform boots. The three hotties sat around the table gossiping and chatting to themselves. 

"So anyways, that's when I told him to-" Amber said just as something on the ground caught her attention. 

On the ground was a tiny little lizard on the ground minding its own business.

"What is it bestie?" Jessica questioned. 

Just then Jessica saw it as well, she rose up from her chair and walked up to the lizard. Natalie's heart dropped as she knew what Jessica was about to do. 

"Oh no, Jessica, don't kill it." Natalie pleaded. 

Jessica raised her foot and before the lizard could react, she slammed it down onto the poor creature smashing it. She then twisted her foot left to right a few times smearing what remained of the poor creature. 

She then returned to her chair with a devilish smile on her face. 

"You didn't have to do that. You know that lizard was a living creature just like you are." Natalie cried. 

"Wait, it's still alive." Amber commented. 

Her words were true, even though half of its body had been reduced to a red paste, the creature still clung onto its lifeforce. 

That's when Amber took a crack at it. 

She walked up to the creature, lifted her foot and said in a gleeful voice. 

"Can't you take a hint? You're supposed to die!"

She then slammed her foot down onto the poor critter and twisted a few times. When she lifted her foot up, the empty carcass was stuck to her shoe. She turned to her two friends and raised her foot up so they could gaze at the now dead creature smashed onto the bottom of her shoe.

Jessica smiled and laughed. 

"What the fuck is wrong with you bestie. You're so demented." 

Natalie said nothing at all, however it was made clear by her facial expression that she was far from amused. 

Amber then proceeded to scrap the creature off and then walked back to the table. That's when the waiter showed up. 

"What can I get you three lovely ladies today?" He asked. 

"Say, you three haven't happened to see a lizard around here by any chance? Our dishwasher brought his pet lizard to the restaurant today and his pet escaped its cage." The waiter continued. 

Natalie's heart sank hearing this knowing full well what had just occurred. 

The other two girls however put no value into the creature's life nor the feelings of its owner. They just covertly rolled their eyes and then pretended like they didn't hear the question. 

The girls ordered their food and then ate it. Just as they were about to leave, Jessica and Amber realized they had to go to the bathroom. Both of them walked to the restaurant's restroom and along the way they bumped into a geekly looking white guy with curly blonde hair. 

"Oh hey, Amber, Jessica, long time no see." Said the young man. The young man was Trent, a guy who they went to high school with and didn't particularly like then. 

"Oh yeah Trent." Amber said with a disgusted look on her face. Meanwhile Jessica rolled her eyes upon seeing him and didn't say anything. 

"You two haven't seen a lizard around here have you? I kinda lost him today." Trent said. 

"No." Amber said in a stern voice before she kept walking to the restroom. 

After they were out of earshot Jessica whispered. 

"I'm glad we squashed that geek's pet."

Amber just giggled upon hearing this. 

Once they entered they realized the restroom was entirely empty of any life form that was them. Just as they began to make their way to the stalls they were stopped by a flash of bright blue light. The flash nearly blinded them and standing before them was a human sized lizard creature standing on two legs and wearing a white latex uniform. 

Both girls screamed at the top of their lungs and rushed towards the exit. However as soon as they touched the door their hands were shocked with the might of a thousand tasers. 

They screamed and embraced each other in utter fear as the creature stood over them. 

"Amber, Jessica. My name is Zolph. I am a lizard from about two billion years in the future." He said. 

"What do you want with us?" Amber asked through tears. 

"Justice."

"Justice?"

"I am an agent of the Bureau of Eternal Justice. My job is to go through time and punish people who treat lizards poorly."

"You're here because we crushed some stupid lizard!" Jessica said in anger. She got up and into the creature's face. 

"You care so much about some dumb creature that you came from two billion years into the future or whatever the fuck just to punish us?" She continued. 

"Yes." Zolph replied. 

"Aw. Did we crush your friend? Do you miss him? Wanna see him?" 

She lifted her foot so Zolph could gaze upon the red smear on the bottom of her shoe and see what remained of the lizard. 

"Cry me a river over it you freak. I don't give a fuck about your punishment." Jessica said. 

"Yeah!" Amber yelled in response. 

He pulled out some kind of laser and blasted them with it. In an instant both of them were shrunk down to about an inch tall. 

"What have you done to us you freak!?" Jessica shouted. 

"I delivered Justice. To yourselves you just look like tint versions of yourselves. However, to everyone else you look like lizards." Zolph said. 

"No! You've doomed us. Turn us back right now! Please?" 

In a bright ball of light Zolph vanished. 

The two girls looked at each other in a panic. 

"We're so dead!" Amber said. 

"Someone's gonna smash us!" Jessica replied. 

"Maybe someone will come in and take us in as pets."

"I don't wanna be someone's pet! Now that we're lizards, we won't live as long as we would have if we were humans." 

Amber had no idea how true her words were, just then the door opened and towering over them was their friend Natalie. 

"Where are they? Amber, Jessica?" She asked. 

"Natalie's a Hindu she won't harm us." Amber said. 

"Of course she won't. You see how she was nearly crying when we squashed the lizard earlier." Jessica commented. 

Natalie looked down to see the two lizards at the front of her platform boots. 

"Really more lizards? I'll never come here again." She said, 

Amber and Jessica tried to get her attention however in response the hypocritical Natalie lifted her foot and in an instant she stomped down onto Jessica. She then proceeded to twist. 

"What the fuck!" Amber shouted. 

Then she lifted her foot off of Jessica and then did the same to Amber. She then slid both of their remains together and raised her foot over them. She stomped and then twisted again and this time she added a slide to it smearing them. 

"Huh, you two just got shat on." Natalie said

"Strange. If both Amber and Jessica had been here, they would've surely seen those two lizards and smashed them." Natalie said to herself. 

She attempted to call them but no one picked up. 

"Where are they?" She asked. She would never find out that they were the slimy bloody remains in front of her and under her boots.
