"Now this...is weird. Can you at least tell me what the freak is going on?" |
|
|
"I picked you as my companion." |
|
|
{Zack}
"..................... okay?" |
|
|
|
{Zack}
...Nothing, this is just....a little odd......where did you come from?" |
|
|
|
{Zack}
"So...you are an alien?" |
|
|
"You are to!" He objects. |
|
|
{Zack}
"Never thought of it that way before....." |
|
|
"No, you are 'half alien' to a human!" |
|
|
{Zack}
"Now you have me confused" |
|
|
"One of your parents was human, the other from another planet." He says, rolling his eyes. |
|
|
{Zack}
I quickly adjust to the odd situation and begin understanding the creature a little batter. "So, what's your aim in all this? What do you want?" I ask, this time, trying to scientifically figure out what was going on, in a less confised way... |
|
|
"To be your companion?" He says. |
|
|
{Zack}
"Okay, so, what can you do? What makes you think your good enough for me?" (Like cereal?) I ask quizzically, hoping these things were proud, and vain, and would reveal something extra, and feel good about itself at the same time. |
|
|
"Because I'll change to become like you. What makes YOU think you're good enough for ME?" |
|
|
{Zack}
"The fact that you bothered to show yourself to me? Not everyone gets to see one of you these days" I say, again complementing the proud-ish creature |
|
|
"Fair enough." He grins. "Now, name me!" |
|
|
{Zack}
My mind races "uuh, 'Shard'" I say, indicating the rounded crystal in the middle of the creature's body, I didn't see something like it on the others... |
|
|
"I like that name! It fits me!" Shard says. |
|
|
{Zack}
"Okay, now what?" I ask, feeling like I had two brains packed into my head |
|
|
"You tell me!" Shard says happily. |
|
|
{Zack}
"......" the alarm clock in my room goes off "OH crap, time for school" I moan |
|
|
"Oooh! Take me with you! Please!?" |
|
|
{Zack}
"Okay, but, um, can you stay hidden?" |
