CuckooLoca loved to listen to a good story.
This is a story about me, Petey Calderon.
It’s an action-adventure, fantasy, historical, mysterious, and totally brave story.
I like to think of it as a secret-child story because I was born from a relationship that nobody knew about, not even my dad.
He only found out about me much later.
But that’s all part of the story.
So here goes…
Once upon a time, in a land far, far away, there was a boy named Petey Calderon.
That boy was me!
I loved to play with my best friend Little Petey, who just happened to be a talking cat.
Little Petey was not just any talking cat; he claimed to have been an actor before becoming a neighborhood cat sitter.
He looked like one of those wise cats you see in movies and TV shows, but he always wore a red bandana around his neck.
I never knew his real name or what movies he had acted in because he never told me.
I sat cross-legged on my bedroom floor, holding the storybook while CuckooLoca perched on my dresser.
Little Petey lounged on the windowsill.
His orange and black striped tail swished back and forth as I turned the final pages of the storybook.
The illustrations showed children with dirt-smudged faces beaming at their discovery.
"Ah, just like in the movies," said Little Petey, adjusting his bandana.
I traced my finger over the golden coins in the picture.
They looked so real that I could almost feel their weight in my hand.
CuckooLoca hopped off my dresser and onto my bed.
She was a small, porcelain doll with a mechanical chicken inside her tummy that made her cluck every time you wound her up.
She was dressed like a ballerina but had a thick New York accent.
"We should dig up your backyard!" she said, flapping her arms like wings.
I close the storybook and stand up.
CuckooLoca flutters around my room in circles.
Little Petey stretches lazily on the windowsill, his red bandana a little crooked.
"We need shovels," I announce, heading to the garage where Dad keeps the gardening tools.
CuckooLoca zooms past my head, her mechanical wings whirring.
"Slow down!" I call after her, but she’s already at the garage door.
Little Petey follows behind me, suggesting we make a proper treasure map first.
"Why do we need a map, Little Petey?" I ask, grabbing a small spade.
"Because every great adventure needs one," he replies with a knowing wink.
CuckooLoca lands on my shoulder, whispering, "And maybe it'll lead us to more than just gold."
I spread a blank sheet of paper on the kitchen table.
Little Petey hops up beside me, his bandana swishing.
Using my colored markers, I draw squiggly lines for paths and X's for possible treasure spots in our backyard.
CuckooLoca flutters down, her mechanical wings clicking, and pecks at a spot near Mom's old rose garden.
"That's where we should dig first!" she insists in her thick New York accent.
Little Petey studies the crude map, nodding thoughtfully.
"Every treasure hunt needs proper planning," he says, using his paw to trace a route.
"Wait," Little Petey pauses, his eyes narrowing, "didn't your mom mention something about a hidden family heirloom once?"
CuckooLoca clucks excitedly, "Oh yeah, she said it was buried somewhere safe, but she never told you where!"
I look at them both, realization dawning, "You think the treasure might be connected to my family?"
I grab my shovel and head to Mom's old rose garden.
Little Petey sits on the garden bench, his bandana fluttering in the breeze.
CuckooLoca hops around the edges of the growing hole, pecking occasionally at loose dirt.
The soil is harder than I expected, and sweat drips down my face as I dig deeper.
Suddenly, my shovel hits something solid with a metallic clang.
CuckooLoca pecks excitedly at the object, then jerks back with a yelp of pain.
"Careful, it's sharp!" she exclaims, rubbing her beak with a wing.
Little Petey jumps down from the bench, eyes wide. "Do you think it's the heirloom?"
I kneel down, brushing away the dirt with trembling hands. "Only one way to find out."
I pull the metal object from the dirt, and it clatters against the shovel.
Disappointment floods through me as I realize it's just an old rusty watering can.
CuckooLoca pecks at it curiously, then suddenly gasps, "Wait, there's something else!"
I peer into the hole, and there, beneath the watering can, are rows of lumpy shapes.
Excitement surges through me as I start digging faster.
Little Petey hops around, his bandana flapping wildly.
CuckooLoca flutters above, her mechanical wings whirring.
As the dirt falls away, I see them clearly: potatoes.
Row after row of potatoes.
CuckooLoca's wings droop in disappointment.
"It's not gold," she mutters.
But Little Petey gets excited, his red bandana fluttering behind him as he dashes to the kitchen and returns with a bucket of water.
"Mom used to grow these," he says, dipping a potato into the water and scrubbing it clean with his paws.
"See? There's more than one kind of treasure."
CuckooLoca tilts her head, curiosity piqued. "So, your mom was a secret gardener all this time?"
Little Petey nods, a grin spreading across his face. "And maybe she left us a recipe for potato stew somewhere."
I chuckle, feeling a warmth spread through me. "Looks like we found our family heirloom after all."
I sit at the kitchen counter, watching Little Petey balance on his hind legs to operate the potato peeler.
The red bandana around his neck catches the falling skins as they flutter to the floor.
CuckooLoca perches on a nearby stool, her mechanical stomach making whirring noises as the smell of frying potatoes fills the air.
Little Petey slides the first batch of golden chips onto a plate and CuckooLoca hops closer, her metal beak clicking eagerly.
I remember how Mom used to make chips like these on rainy days when I was little.
CuckooLoca takes a careful bite, and her eyes light up.
I carry the empty plate to the sink while Little Petey yawns, his red bandana drooping.
The kitchen clock reads 8:30 PM, and Dad would want me in bed soon.
CuckooLoca hops onto the towel rack, her mechanical wings slowing down as she enters sleep mode.
Little Petey stretches on the counter, his paws twitching.
"Let's clean up tomorrow," he says, his voice muffled by a yawn.
I wipe my hands on a towel and lead the way upstairs, with Little Petey padding behind me.
In my bedroom, CuckooLoca settles into her charging dock on the nightstand, and Little Petey curls up on the window seat.
As I climb into bed, Little Petey's sleepy voice drifts over to me.
"Do you think Mom hid anything else in the garden?"
I pull the blanket up to my chin, pondering the question. "Maybe, but I think she wanted us to find more than just things."
CuckooLoca's soft whirring fills the room as she murmurs, "Like memories and stories, right?"
