Hope you enjoy this short project I've been working on!
In the wild, you had to expect anything. With vines long enough to coil around ones neck and hang one at a wrong turn, a stump so far out of place, just enough to trip you down a cliff, and hazardous remains of wood that produced the most distinct sound when stepped on, a predator could be unsuccessful in stalking his prey. Lurking the jungle during the day was a blessing, the beautiful and blossoming aroma of the wildlife around them standing free in the rich air, away from any society and population. However there were few that actually knew about this jungle, and some that utilized what the jungle had to its fullest. The predator, a beast like no other, one that will jump at the chance to get the most wild catch on its prey. A creature to handle the strength of others at its presence, and to massacre the ones that stand in its way. The prey. Quick, agile, elusive, all of these words to describe the so called victims. While little match for the prey face to face, their cunning skills and wit lead them to outscale the oppressors in a match of mind, one that fully utilized nature and its science to its fullest.
The matchup was ordinarily determined through nature and through common logic. The strong would feast on the weak and the large would stomp on the small. In this situation though it was the lone yordles out seeking their goal, one hiding from the other and one seeking the other. In a battle of intelligence the two yordles, Rumble and Teemo, were playing an intense match of hide and seek.
Rumble was out of his natural habitat, but with one of his best friends it didn't really matter. He had full control of what strings to pull, how to catch the hidden out of place. They were both masterminds of their age, each of them fully knowing the extent of which the other person can do. Rumble crept steadily in front of his, carefully observing his surroundings for anything out of the ordinary. The jungle was dense, full of the bright green giant jungle leaves that sprouted out from the ground and oddly shaped and sometimes spiraled jungle tree branches that were scattered around creating wicked and odd paths for them to follow. The rules of the game were simple. Teemo was to hide and Rumble was to seek him out. The challenge was that he could be anywhere. Rumble's eyes slimmed, looking into every nook and cranny that he could find. Knowing Teemo's camouflage abilities, he knew the task at hand wasn't going to be easy.
Rumble did not keep track of time, nor did he have a watch on him. The only thing he had on him was a camera, perfectly hooked around his belt buckled around his waist. His blue t-shirt and black pants made him distinct in the jungle, noticeable from a mile away if not mistaken for a patch of water. All he knew about Teemo was that he wore his normal attire when he met up with him out here this morning. No shirt, letting his fur flow loosely,his signature green hat and red goggles, and brown pants. But now there's no telling if Teemo would camouflage himself with the scenery around him.
The jungle before him completely captured Teemo's essence as a yordle. Free spirited and wild, letting his spirit run in the wind gracefully galloping like the soul of a horse who had just been set free from his reigns. Rumble had high hopes for his future, one that he would only hope that they would be together in as partners, brothers.
It was pretty unconventional for letting himself stick to a task this long, but this task bargained his pride at stake. As the sun rose higher in the cool morning sky, the more and more his determination grew, skyrocketing through the atmosphere and into space. His pace became faster and footsteps louder, proud but impatient at Teemo's elegance in the art of stealth. He tried his best at patiently searching but the more time went on, the more Rumble lacked on his own confidence. "No." he thought abruptly to himself. "I cannot let it get to me!" The words stung in his head as he crept over a fallen log. The beating in his chest went from a calm pace to a thrusting beat, his heart attacking his mind in a battle of feeling of knowledge. Rumble ignored this duel, trying his best on focusing on the task at hand, finding Teemo.
*-CRACK-*
A loud crack came from behind him and on instinct Rumble swiftly turned around, met with the proud gaze of a silhouette darting behind another tree. Rumble gave off a devious smile and a new vibe. He had detected his prey. Licking his lips once in an animal fashion, he gave chase to the creature.
The jungle whizzed past him, ignoring everything else except his goal. Hopping over branch over branch and sometimes swinging on a vine Rumble could see why Teemo loved the jungle so much. His eyes were hungry, feasting on the area in front of him, his so called primal instincts kicking in. He became excited, the same silhouette he could see in the distance, the shadow drawing out a small creature hopping away with all his might, a yordle.
Of course, all of these primal instincts are just a metaphor.
Eventually Rumble hit a small outcropping, the canopy above him breaking just a bit for the sun to illuminate a circle just big enough to fit it. He stopped directly in the middle, letting the sun provide enough light to him to observe the area around him. He rotated three-hundred and sixty degrees, looking between the leaves and trees to try and get a good fix on the one who was hiding. But whomever it was that Rumble had saw seemed to have completely vanished within two seconds…
"Clever." Rumble said aloud, some birds flocking away at his voice. He pivoted his foot and turned directly around and staring at the area in front of him. There was nothing there…
"But not clever enough! RAHH!" He yelled lunging at the area in front of him. As he did, a new flurry of colors tried to dodge his attack. He tried, but Rumble's fur met with someone elses fur, tackling the creature to the ground.
"Ahhh!" The familiar voice yelped in surprise as they slammed into the ground, Rumble's arms straddled over the yordle. Whipping his fur out of his eyes, Rumble looked down on his prey and his best friend. It was Teemo. He smiled and so did Teemo in pure joy of the moment, eventually both laughing hysterically on the ground at their silliness which, they both knew, was pretty extreme at times.
"Haha! You got me!" Teemo exclaimed, rolling on the floor a tad bit. Rumble smiled at his friend.
"Yeah I did!" Rumble said, giggling a bit. He got off of Teemo, plummeting his shoulder to the ground before lifting himself up. Once he was standing, he turned to Teemo and held out his hand which he gladly accepted, pulling Teemo to his two feet. He brushed off the majority of the dirt that stuck to his fur, turning to Rumble with a wide smile on his face. Like always, he was extremely cheery and happy, even when in the most odd situations.
"That was fun!" Teemo said, holding out his hand to Rumble which Rumble shook, a sign of friendship and sportsmanship.
"I got you that time, and admittedly it was quite the challenge." Rumble complimented.
"Isn't it quite the challenge all the time? You know I'm a better hider than you." Teemo challenged. Rumble put his hands on his hips.
"Hey! That's only because you're a natural in the art of stealth!" Rumble rebutted but laughed to himself. "But yes, it's very hard all the time!" Rumble said.
"I'm glad I can be a challenge." Teemo said, and he started walking forward, Rumble following close behind him hopping a few branches to get side by side with him.
"I like a challenge, it makes things interesting." Rumble stated. "Without it, all of our games would be boring."
"I agree." Teemo said, hopping down a small cliffside and so did Rumble. "Or is it that you know I can beat you anything that isn't challenging." Teemo said wittingly.
"I beat you in things! Do I have to bring up archery?" Rumble challenged. From behind Rumble saw Teemo quickly shake his head back and forth, letting a small giggle come from his mouth. "I'm a challenge, right?" Rumble asked. Teemo stopped and turned around. Rumble stopping as well caused Teemo to walk up around him, stand by his side, and wrap his arm around Rumble's shoulder. Rumble did the same to Teemo.
"Rumble, no matter where or what we do, you will always be a challenge." Teemo said. "And not only that, every game is much more fun when you're in them."
"How so?" Rumble asked.
"I'm not sure, but you do, you definitely do." Teemo said, giving Rumble his signature wide smile, one that whenever they receive one they would never forget. Teemo looked up, noticing the sun. "What time is it?" Teemo asked. Rumble looked down at his wrist but remembered he didn't have his watch on.
"I'm not sure." He said looking up. "But judging by the sun, I'd say noon. Time for lunch!" Rumble said excitedly. Teemo smiled at this realization. "Where are we going to eat? Stanley's Bakery, Morga's Cafe, Nila's Diner… OH! Gragas's Bar!"
"They won't let us in Gragas's Bar silly! We're too young for that!" Teemo said, making Rumble laugh.
"I know, I know, but it was worth a shot, hehe." Rumble said. He looked in front of him. "You know what's a challenge? Getting out of this darn jungle!"
"Hardly! I know this jungle like the back of my hand!" Teemo stated proudly.
"Fine! You know what else is challenging? Pronouncing the name of this place." Rumble said. Teemo nodded at this.
"Kungumunu…"
"Kumgunu…"
"Kugumunu…"
"Kumungu… Kumungu! Got it!" Rumble said, dancing a little while walking.
"Hehe." Teemo chuckled. "Oh yeah! We need to meet Tristana and Ziggs outside the jungle!" Teemo said, remembering what him and Rumble told them before they came out. At noon, meet them right outside of the jungle so they can go and do stuff together. A fun adventure time, he'd like to call it.
"Right!" Rumble recalled as well, jogging along in front of Teemo. Teemo kept the pace, trailing along with Rumble. It was a satisfying hike for both of them and overall quite relaxing. The sun reached its peak in the air while they were running. The leaves brushed up against their fur as they exited the jungle, sweat dripping from their fur, revealing the thin mountain gap that they used to get to the jungle. The mountains on the side were completely bare, rock all the way up to the tippity top, at the top you could see the faint sight of snow. Following the path they wound themselves up in a forest, neatly tucked away on the other side of the mountain. Large oak wood trees towered above them, but not as high as the mountain trees before, and rich and fresh grass beneath their feet, marking that it has rained here recently, leaving the smell of fresh and brisk air to fill their noses.
"Do you know where they would be?" Teemo asked while walking.
"Not sure. Knowing them they could be anywhere." Rumble answered.
"Do we really have to search this whole place for them?" Teemo complained.
I don't think so… look!" Rumble said, pointing his finger off in the distance. Through a break in the trees both of them saw the faint outlines of two figures standing next to each other, facing towards each other. Curious, Rumble and Teemo approached. As they got closer, they could definitely tell that it was who they were looking for. The combination of light brown fur and dark brown fur on his body was distinct from every tree trunk, not only that but he wore his classic green goggles which you can clearly see his blue eyes through. He was staring intently at the yordle across from him, who was also staring back in the same manner. Her light blue skin glistened in the sun, marking that she was standing there for a while, and her short, white hair flowed in the wind, sometimes getting in front of her eyes which they could tell was annoying her quite a bit. It was Ziggs and Tristana.
Teemo and Rumble walked up to them, both of them expecting them to notice them, but as they approached they made no regard to their presence. They just stood there, staring intensely at each other. They looked upon them, confusion arising in their eyes. They were stone still, not moving at all.
"Uh… hello?" Rumble asked. No response. He turned to Teemo. "What is this?"
"I think that they're dead." Teemo said, moving to the side to get a better look at Tristana's face. A gloss of sweat trickled down her forehead. "Maybe they're playing charades. Oh! I bet Tristana is a statue!"
"No… I don't think that's it." Rumble implied, putting his hand on his chin and rotating around towards Ziggs. He thought of all of the possibilities that could cause this to happen. However there was only one conclusion he could come to and… it seemed very likely. Without thinking of the consequences, he waved his hand in front of Ziggs's eyes. His left eye twitched at the action which made Rumble immediately know what is going on.
"Ohh ok. Hehe." Rumble said. Teemo looked at him.
"What are they doing?" Teemo asked innocently.
"Nothing they're… hehe. They're having a staring contest." Rumble explained. Teemo turned his head back to the two. It took a moment for him to study them, then "Ahh"ing at the realization. "All we have to do now is wait."
"How long does this game normally take?" Teemo asked. Rumble looked at him, a bit of a shocked expression on his face.
"Have you never done a staring contest before?" Rumble asked. He looked down upon Teemo, looking as innocent as ever and couldn't help smiling at him. Teemo, only about a year younger than Rumble has already seen more of the outside world than him and has already perfected techniques and abilities that Rumble could not believe. He was an extraordinary child, one that Rumble was definitely close with and was proud to be.
"No. How do you play? I want to play!" Teemo exclaimed. Rumble placed a hand on his shoulder, calming him down.
"Teemo, I will teach you later. Trust me it's a fun game." He said. Teemo smiled. Rumble turned back to look at Tristana and Ziggs. "This game could go on for so long, it all depends on how long they can keep their eyes open. Who do you think is going to win?" Asked Rumble. Teemo studied the two faces once again.
"I don't know, it's hard to say." Teemo said.
"They do seem to be pretty in it." Rumble said, rocking side to side as if a photographer getting pictures at different angles. "But if I were to say -" He said, but was immediately cut off by a simple action, a wide and comical smiling wiping across Tristana's face.
Ziggs blinked.
"YES!" Tristana exclaimed, jumping up and cheering for himself. Ziggs threw his arms down.
"NO!" Ziggs exclaimed as well, turning around and slightly laughing to himself, ignoring the elated Tristana spinning behind him.
"I had a feeling that it was going to be Tristana." Teemo said, smiling at Tristana. She smiled back.
"Dang! We were at that for so long!" Ziggs said, turning around to look at the three. He gave his friends a bright, wide smile, revealing practically his entire jawline and all his teeth. A weird trait he had, but adorable.
"I know right!" Tristana said, stepping to Ziggs's side. "That was like a full two minutes we were at it. I didn't even know I could hold my eyes open for that long!"
"It seemed intense." Rumble pointed out.
"Yup, but in the end," Tristana said, punching Ziggs playfully in the shoulder. "Girls always win."
"Pfft. Ok." Ziggs said, making Tristana laugh at his reaction.
"It's true!" Tristana claimed.
"Is not! You only got me that time because Rumble waved his hand in front of me. It threw me off guard!" Ziggs defended. Rumble threw his arms up.
"Hey!" Rumble yelled.
"Don't blame Rumble! Face it, you lost fair and square!" Tristana said, marching in front of Ziggs. Ziggs stayed straight for a while until he eventually fell at the unyielding gaze of Tristana.
"Fine, but just this once!" Ziggs said, holding up his finger. Tristana laughed again before turning around and beginning to walk. They all followed, walking side by side through the forest.
"So who won this time Teemo?" Tristana asked.
"Rumble. He saw right through my ruse this time." Teemo answered.
"And now we're tied." Rumble said. "He's won three, I've won three."
"An even matchup. You two really are survival of the fittest, aren't you?" Ziggs said.
"I guess. Either way, it's a lot of fun." Teemo said, making everyone smile. Everyone always smiles at Teemo, there's no reason not to.
"So what did you two do while me and Teemo were out and about?" Rumble asked.
"Ziggs's taught me how to light something on fire using a magnifying glass." Tristana said. Rumble's eyes widened, turning to Tristana startled.
"Oh, that's dangerous ya' know." Rumble said.
"I know, but Ziggs said I can light a fuse that way too." Tristana said, turning to Ziggs and giving him a light smile. He smiled back.
"Yeah, just in case you don't have a lighter and you have a spare bomb laying around…" Ziggs said, trailing off towards the end but laughing.
"What's with you and bombs?" Teemo asked playfully.
"I like things that go BOOM!" Ziggs explained, giving a maniacal laugh while expressing something going 'boom'.
"I like things that go BOOM too!" Tristana said, giving a lighter gesture than Ziggs.
"We're alike in that sense. We just love things that go…"
"... BOOM!" They both said at once, gesturing a giant exploding and laughing while doing it. Rumble and Teemo both laughed as well but more hesitantly. Oh dear, two of their best friends bound to be some sort of pyromaniac… the thought frightened them. Suddenly Tristana had a thought, so she jumped ahead of all of them, letting them gain focus of her.
"Ok, I know what we're going to do today." Tristana started. "When we get back, first we're going to have lunch at Stella's. Man I love that place but I'm not buying!"
"I will." Ziggs said.
"Good. Then we go help Rumble with his mech for about an hour. I will stand bodyguard so no jerkface adults wander in wondering what we're doing. If they did, photographers would be everywhere. After that we go slingshot bombs out into the ocean for a while."
"Aww, but that's a waste of bombs!" Ziggs complained.
"Oh shush, you know it's fun." Tristana quieted him down. "And then at the end of the day we go and spend the night at Teemo's house."
"But Trist, you know my mom doesn't like it when you all come over. The house gets too crowded." Teemo pointed out.
"Aww, but your house is so nice and cozy and warm and stuff." Tristana said, slumping her shoulders down in disappointment.
"Lemme ask when we get back. I'll try to talk her into it." Teemo said, making Tristana lighten up again.
"Yay, thanks Teemo. If not, we'll spend the night at my house, my parents don't mind." Tristana said. She took a while before saying the next part. "And maybe later at night we can go star-watching." She said unsure, but everyone else seemed to accept it.
"I'm fine with that." Teemo said joyfully. "Star-watching is fun! It's all whimsical and mystical and wondrous and stuff."
"Great. So, we have a plan then?" Tristana said. Everyone nodded. She jumped up and clapped her hands, excited about the rest of the day. The air went silent for a moment before Ziggs came up close to Rumble.
"So Rumble ol' buddy ol' pal. What'cha gonna hook up on your mech next? A stereo system? Strobe lights? Maybe even a lil' bomb or two?" Ziggs said humorously and sarcastically, making Teemo and Tristana hold in their laughter. Rumble turned to him and sighed.
"Ziggs, you know most well I'm not going to be putting something that could blow everything up on my machine." Rumble said.
"I know, but you gotta do it sometime Rumble. Just for me please?" Ziggs asked in a way that was hard to say no to. Rumble looked at him doubtfully for a second. He sighed.
"Fine, I will." Rumble gave in to the stare of the maniac he knew as his friend.
"Promise?" Ziggs asked, holding out his hand. Rumble sighed yet again.
"I promise." Rumble said, shaking Ziggs's hand. Ziggs gave another wide smile as they continued walking.
"How much longer until we get back?" Teemo asked, looking up at the sun, but not finding much other than the thick canopy above them, shielding out most of the sunlight from entering.
"Not much longer." Tristana said, looking at Teemo. "Why? Are those tiny legs of yours getting tired already?"
"What!? No!" Teemo declared, making Tristana giggle. "Plus our legs are the same size, so you can't say anything!"
"Of course they are silly! We're both the same age. I was only poking a little fun at you." Tristana said, making Teemo feel better about himself. She turned herself to Ziggs and Rumble. "And these guys over here just happen to be older than us." Tristana said, sticking her tongue out at them. Rumble and Ziggs looked over confused.
"What did we do!?" Rumble asked, raising his hands up in sarcastic defense at whatever Tristana was throwing at him.
"Be older, that's what you did!" Tristana said.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Ziggs inquired.
"It makes you… I dunno… feel superior." Tristana said, unsure about what she was saying herself. Rumble looked at her worried. Tristana, such an innocent young girl. Always tough, always ambitious, always adventurous, but sometimes could catch Rumble off guard by what she understands and what she doesn't. Rumble has always felt towards her and has vowed to himself multiple times already to never let anything hurt her. He felt like he needed to take action. He came up close to Tristana and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her close. Tristana latched onto Rumble's arm a bit as she looked up upon him and he looked down upon her.
"Trist, age has nothing to do with how I feel towards you or Teemo." Rumble said caringly. "I don't care if you're younger than me, it still doesn't mean that you're not one of my best friends."
"Do you really mean that Rumble?" Tristana asked innocently. Rumble gave her a heart warming smile.
"Yes, I do Tristana." Rumble said. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. "And to prove it…" He said. Without much warning and still holding Tristana close to him, Rumble whipped his hand to the side of his belt and pulling out the camera hooked on it. Flipping it over in his hand he gained a firm grip on it, quickly pointing it over at him, Tristana, and Teemo and Ziggs in the background as he took a flash photo, leaving Tristana dazed afterwards. The picture slid out of a slot in the back of the camera, Rumble grabbing it as he went to put the camera away. He held up the picture in front of him, enjoying the view of his friends.
"What was that?" Tristana asked, a little dizzy still.
"I took a picture with all of my best friends in it." He said, holding it up so everyone could see it. Ziggs recoiled a bit at seeing what his face looked like on picture. Rumble then pulled it to his chest. "And with it I will make sure to keep it by my heart forever." Rumble said.
"Man you made that sound cheesy." Ziggs inputted, adding some comical essence to a serious conversation that lightened the mood. Rumble laughed a bit.
"I'm pretty good at that, aren't I?" Rumble asked sheepishly.
"You're the king of that." Teemo said, making everyone laugh. Tristana released her grip from Rumble and so did he.
"Oh, I know something that can make this walk faster!" Tristana yelled hyped.
"What is it?" Rumble asked. Before he heard anything come out of her mouth, she slapped Rumble on the shoulder, immediately bolting forwards afterwards, running far ahead of all of them.
"Tag, you're it!" Tristana yelled. The game has just begun. A playful smile quickly wiped on Rumble's face. With quick thinking Rumble turned to his side and tagged Teemo before running out in front of him.
"Nope! Teemo's it!" Rumble yelled.
"Hey I'm not it!" Teemo yelled. Just as he said that he turned and tagged Ziggs on the shoulder, running away frantically. "Ziggs is!"
"Oh don't you run from me!" Ziggs growled loudly as he gave pursuit. With that they all ran deeper and deeper into the forest on their way to society, to home.
"Tag, you're it!"
"Nah! You didn't touch me!"
"I got your shirt! It counts!"
"Nope. You're it now!"
"Hey!"
"No backs!"
Night
The stars filled the night sky, every single one of them lighting up the black void above them and representing a single dream waiting to come true. Their elegance made the world a brighter place even in its darkest moments, including the black that naturally came around to mark when it was time for all to slumber. The moon, another source of light and an entity came to represent much among people, also hung in the sky illuminating the world with a faint white light. This light shine down upon every inch of Valoran, including the field that they were laying in. Not far off of the borders of Bandle City were Teemo, Tristana, Rumble, and Ziggs, all laying side by side on a bare field filled with nothing but grass, the perfect spot to star-watch. Their eyes gazed up into the field of stars above them, their presence captivating the minds of all of them and making all of them wish upon a star. Just one star that will represent their life as a whole, bringing together a life filled with every emotion in the book: happiness, sadness, loneliness, love. All of them being represented in their life now or in the future already marking their place in history. Rumble's mind boggled of the future, a thought that many children his age chose to ignore, but has always been an interesting fate for him.
"They're so beautiful out tonight." Teemo said in awe. Tristana, laying right next to him, rolled her head over to look at him, setting her gaze away from the stars for the first time that night.
"I know, no clouds to shield them from us." Tristana said. "Do you ever wonder what's up there Teemo?"
"In space?" Teemo asked, rolling his head to look at Tristana. She nodded. "No, but I imagine that it would be different."
"How different is the question." Ziggs included, still staring up at the stars. "I wonder what it would be like to be a star…"
"Who knows." Said Teemo. "It would probably be really bright." This gave the rest of them a good laugh.
"I wonder what a star looks like up close." Tristana said. "Probably a great big ball of fire."
"Why say that?" Asked Teemo.
"Well think about it. If we can see something like a star so clearly from way over here, and he stars are millions of miles away, then they would have to be the size of a planet, if not bigger." Tristana explained. Teemo contemplated the information in his mind for a second.
"Huh, I guess that makes sense." Teemo said, rolling back around to gaze up at the stars. "Then how would the stories be true?" Teemo asked.
"What stories?" Ziggs asked.
"You haven't heard of them?" Teemo asked. Ziggs shook his head. "Every star is supposed to be someones dream." Teemo said. The others looked back up at the stars if they weren't already. Rumble, who was silent the whole time, still gazed at the stars quietly.
"Are they now?" Tristana asked.
"Yup. At least that was a story my mother told me. And if mother tells us anything, it's that mothers are always right." Teemo said, making the Tristana laugh a bit.
"Well if they are supposed to be a dream," Tristana said, eyeing the sky. After she shot her arm up and pointed at a star in the sky, the one alone from all the rest. "I choose that one. That one is where my dream will come true."
"Why the one away from every other star?" Ziggs asked. Tristana chuckled lightly but didn't reveal her reason at first. It took her a moment, slightly hesitant to answer.
"Because I think it represents us." Tristana said. "All of us are different than other yordles we know so… why not pick the outsider star."
"We are different aren't we. I mean think about it. All four of us are different and unique in our own way, but more so than others." Teemo said. A smile came upon his face, shooting his arm up and pointing at the same star as well. "If so, then I choose to wish upon the same star as you Tristana!" Teemo said elated. A heart-warming smile came upon Tristana's face.
"It's true Tristana, we are different in our own ways." Ziggs confirmed. "I choose that star, too!" Ziggs said, making the smile on Tristana's face go even wider. At this point, all three rolled their heads to look at Rumble, who hasn't had any input this entire time.
"Rumble, how about you?" Tristana asked. Rumble didn't respond however, making the smile on Tristana's face fade a little. The only thing notable about him now was how his chest pumped up and down at the rhythm of his breathing, his hands behind his head arched slightly towards the stars. Rumble was off in his own world of thought, however throughout all the thoughts that he thought about whenever he came out here to star-watch, one question always pondered his mind the most.
"Do you ever think about the future?" Rumble asked, talking the first time that night. Tristana sighed.
"Rumble, you're the only person here who thinks about that question." Tristana said. "I think we're too young to think about where we're going to be as adults."
"I know, but if you're wishing upon a star for a dream that you are hoping to come true, then what is that dream?" Rumble asked. An intelligent question, leaving the others stumped. Rumble rolled his head over to Tristana, who was gazing at him, clearly thinking about what he had just asked. Silence filled the night sky for a couple of moments.
"My dream is that in the future I will get to stay by all of your sides." Ziggs said, rolling his head to Rumble. Rumble looked back at him, noticing the honesty in his eyes. "I hope that in the future that we can all still be together, like a family." Ziggs ended. Rumble searched his eyes, looking for any sign of anything, maybe a sign of whether that dream will come true.
"Ziggs… you stole that from me!" Teemo said playfully like the little adorable Teemo would. Ziggs chuckled a bit. "That was my wish too! I want us to stay together forever, all of us as friends. Nothing can break us up." Teemo said. Rumble's body flushed with warmth.
"Funny, I was thinking the same thing as well. I don't want anything to ever happen to our friendship. Never." Tristana said. Another wave of warmth was sent down his body. He cycled his gaze between all of them, all of them looking at Rumble and giving him promising smiles, Rumble smiled back at all of them. Soon, his eyes eventually went back up towards the stars, particularly the same star that Tristana pointed at.
"Then I guess it's right for us to all wish upon the same star." Rumble said. All of their smiles immediately became wider than before, all happy about the outcome. Ziggs looked back up.
"Well we got to promise to keep it that way then." Ziggs said. Everyone's head turned to look at Ziggs. Ziggs sensed this so he began. Looking upon the star, Ziggs slowly raised his arm and raised his pinky finger, pointing it high in the air above them.
"'Till Death Do Us Part." Ziggs said as a promise, keeping his arm sturdy in the air, never letting it sway. One by one they did they same thing Ziggs did, next being Teemo.
"'Till Death Do Us Part." Teemo said smiling, holding his pinky finger in the air.
"'Till Death Do Us Part." Tristana said afterwards, her arm extending proudly towards the star. Rumble was the last to do it.
"'Till Death Do Us Part." Rumble said quietly, marking this as a lifetime promise.
And with that, it will mark a point on history, a lifetime promise being made.
"'Till Death Do Us Part!" All four of them said in unison, the stars twinkling above them taking note of the four friends, whose friendship will never be forgotten in history.
