"Darius!!!!!!!
DARIUS!!!!!!
Darius, where are you? I want to ask where you...
....Where you have been?"
"Hi, Apple. I know you have a lot of questions, and I know you won't like the short answers I give, but I will try my best."
"Thanks for seeing me, and telling the truth.
I don't know what you can and can't answer, but I am confident that what you can't answer is for a good reason.
*Whoooo*
Are the two viles I saw related to Theresas transformation that day?"
"Ac…"
"And are their more?"
"Is there a reason why you ask?"
"Take that as a yes.
How soon?"
"Not soon enough."
"Can it work on Non-Born?"
"I think that's all for questions today.
Hope you can understand."
"Please?"
"............I can neither confirm nor deny what you just asked."
"Then can you at least confirm our friendship?"
"I could never deny that.
Apple, you know that. My circle may have grown, but I will always remember who helped me draw the first point."
"..........You hoping that I won't pry any further?"
"I am crossing my fingers."
"Then I won't make you cross your toes either. Come here."
"So you forgive me?"
"Darius, I was never mad at you; so yes."
"Good.
*Whoooof*
I gotta get back before someone makes a bigger mess of everything.
Can I trust you to hold down the fort here and tell my parents that I'll be safe."
"But Rainbow is here. How can I...."
"You'll figure it out. Thanks."
"..........You're welcome."
"....You made up that fast?"
"Well….actually....."
"Darius!!!!"
"We hugged and forgave each other, yes."
"Darius!!"
"No, he did not like what I had to say, but I had to say it."
"Glad you two could make up. He sounds better off now."
"I don't know about his eyes though, cause it's kind of hard to see what they're looking at. Couldn't see if they were at me, or….."
*Click*
"They're definitely looking at you.
What are you up to in there, Darius; and why were you in a rush to get back so fast?
*Click. Click. Click*
I'll wait till you're gone, and maybe we can have ourselves a little sneaky peaky."
"So have you found and brought all the Animals safely back home?"
"I...I think so, but...."
"What?"
"Ummm. You got a little….."
"Little what?"
"It's crawling over your…."
"A spider?
I got a Spider on me, is that it?"
"No. More like a…."
*Hisssssssssss*
"Aaaagh. Snake.
Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake. Snake.
Get off me."
"I think he was eyeing our Bunnies, and nothing was stopping him from getting them."
"Then maybe we should separate their cages a little further apart....or put them in cages in the first place."
"Sorry. They....."
"Your elephant side is still sticking through?"
"Just keep me away from anything small like mice, bees, and snakes that start with C's."
"Kitty will help you with your Mice problem. We got you with the bees, and as far as the Snakes are concerned....we'll think of something."
"Thanks."
"For what?"
"Making me feel at home, even though I'm away from it."
"It was Rainbow's idea anyway. I just helped hunt them…"
*Oof*
"You're a hugger I see."
"Hard to hug when you are the size of a few cars tall, but with arms; it makes everything so much easier."
"Glad you like it here, but remember why you are."
