"Is something wrong, Apple?"
"I have hands."
"Yes, and you have feet too. Now you can walk, and not hop."
"But what if I liked me...Aaaaaaghhhh...*Ploosssh*
"Finding out that what you wanted all along, is not what you needed?"
"Change me back. Now. I…..*Huuuuuuuu*.I…..*Huuuuu*. I can't breathe. I can't breathe."
"Give him a mask.
...Let this be a lesson for you, Apple.
Everyday when you wake up and look at your hands, you will see just how much they toiled. They say hands can tell where a person has been, and how they got to where they are now.
Yours.....will only know pain, for that is what you were born in.
You will get hurt easier, peel faster, age...grow old....and rot. Here's the funny thing about humans though; they are hard to kill and don't just want to be tossed.
Even down to your last breath, you will be fighting."
"No. I don't want this life? Take me back?"
"What was that? I can't hear you through the mask you have on? You said you wanted to be taken back?
...….Ok."
"Wait. No. Let go of me. Stop pulling me away.
Noooooooo.. That's my Trident. My TRIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Brielle, take this Trident and return it to the seat of our Goldfish."
"Yes, Queen."
"Brielle."
"Yes?"
"Remember, if you let your desires overshadow the joy you have now; you may one day get what you seek, but you will lose more than it is worth."
"Yes, Octar."
"......Here we are.
You two make sure that all the animals and the equipment is still accounted for and not damaged.
I will go check on Apple, to see if he is truly happy getting what he wants."
"Why can't I walk straight? And why...….*Grrrrrrr*
What's that sound?"
"You need to eat. Here."
"Banana Nana!!!!"
"These Bananas will help build up the muscle in your legs, needed to walk."
"I can't eat that."
"Apple, meat can only do so much for you."
"But…..But…..*Grrrrrrrr*
...No. I will not eat."
"Suit yourself, but if you don't eat healthy; you'll regress.
Surving on Plants only is not healthy."
"Why not? It helped me in the past."
"This is not the past. This is the future, and to maintain the future; you need to control what goes on in your body. Serve it like it is a Temple. If you upkeep it, it will upkeep you.
You have never eaten meat, and Plants are out of the question. So what will it be?"
"Fine.
Give it here."
"That's what I thought."
*Phueeeem*
"Apple, what are you doing? That was supposed to help you, and you just threw it aside.
If you don't eat, you will die. Sun won't save you this time."
"I'll take my chances."
".......But I won't."
"Ruby, what are you doing here?
You...you....you can't see me like this. I forbid it. I'm unclean."
"I would ask if you are happy with getting everything you wanted, but I can clearly see I can answer myself.
Don't want to eat your own?
...What did you think, 'Being on Market' meant?"
"Like Mango said. 'Tourism'.
Plants were getting toured more."
"What about the Plants that you were eating, and the fruits and vegetables they were eating?"
"Ruby, not everything in Chopped is alive, you know."
"And not everything is alive here. Maybe this Banana was picked off a tree, and not a friend.
We do grow our own here."
"I can't take my chances."
"Well, not with this…no. It's been past Five seconds. I'll throw it away and go find you a new one."
"Wait. Noo.."
"No?"
"Let me properly put this Banana to rest."
"Ummmm."
"Please?
If my friends find out that the first thing I did when I was a human was tear a Banana apart, just to stuff my face; they would disown me. I have to pay my respects.....so I can remember."
"I...….
*Waaa…ding*
Okay. You go bury your banana; and give it the most utmost proper Burial imaginable."
"Will you come with me, to help the grief? And maybe say a few words?"
"......I'd be honored."
