A bat to the face
on another tale. this one is a funny one. the lesson to this one is not to let your son play baseball in the yard. Nautilus and Pike were playing baseball. more like Nautilus was trying invain to teach Pike how to play. Naut through the ball and pike went to hit it. the bat slipped out of his grasp, his Nautilus in the face, richosheyed and hit Pike in the face. with a little more force. Pike's bone underneath his eye was shattered, and he had to get a plate and screws under his eye to keep the bone from moving. of course, poor Naut had a black eye and a bruise to remember on his face. Pike on the other hand; was a little more banged up. of course, once that healed, he went and asked his father to help him play soccer next. which nautilus then turned to a happy Abline and asked her to teach Pike all about that.
A Glass accident
doesn't it seem that Naught gets the blunt of it? anywhoo... here's another one. Pike wanted to play tag, and of course, Abline was pregnant and couldn't really run after an energetic little squirt named Pike at the time. so Naut Stepped in. Pike running for his life around the kitchen table slipped and smashed into the glass book case. smashing into the glass, and having it embedded in his knee. the doctors were able to remove most of it. but some was still embedded in it. and there still is. not to mention, it sliced some of the cartiledge in his knees and now has arthritis. Pike of course wanted to continue playing when they got him. To which BOTH Nautilus and Abline sweetly, but firmly, "no".

Not The Only One
the day pike realized that he wouldn't be the only one in this world was the day when Abline, his mother told Nautilus and Pikean that she was pregnant with her second child. It shattered Pike's world. to the point where the small, confused, and distraught bean wrote a note to his parents telling them that he was running away and to have fun with their new favorite bean. Abline was distraught over the matter and sent Nautilus to find her son. Nautilus looked for Pike, who was nowhere to be found. but the little bean hadn't gone far. a few miles north of their home, to the secret place his family always took him. he was telling this place good bye, and that he hoped his new not-sibling would enjoy this place like he had. Nautilus, was smart for an older bean. and knew where his Son had gone. he followed the small tracks and found his son distraught, in the place he expected. the flower grove that the two had found on one of their many adventures together. Nautilus explain to the Distraught Pike that they weren't going to forget about him. and that they needed him to show his new baby sibling what it's like to be in the world. to protect them and make sure that nothing bad happens to them. his new baby sibling would need a Big Brother. after a long talk about why Abline and Nautilus were not going to let Pike go that easliy, Pike wearily accepted the duty of "big brother".
Snowball Fight
Nautilus... poor Natuilus.... before i spoil it i'll tell you. so, winter came around, a few months after the baseball bat accident, and Pike wanted to make forts of snow and have a snowball fight. Nautilus unknowingly accepted. So the two boys went outside and created snowforts. they decided to make snowballs. while pike was making his snow ball he looked to his father and was about to ask him how to make one. when Naut threw his snowball at Pike. Little did Naut know that his "snowball" was more like an "iceball". it hit Pike, above his right eye and created a nice gash. Pike, who was crying at the time, called for his mom. Abline of course came out and Scloded Naut for throwing it at him. A pregnant and sympathetic Abline picked up poor Pike and carried him into the house. naut ofcourse feeling bad, decided to make it up to him by teaching Pike how to play another sport. Pike got out of that one ok, no screws or plates, but has a nice scar above his right eye.
