Banana Mana Mania
Prologue
A weirdly dressed guy stood before a small child. He looked more like an ape, dressed in hideous tribal clothes. To add to the effect, his hair was kinda long, and blue.
"Mr. Jungle Man, where am I?"
"This is. . . uh, a manipulation of a dream that I did with a spell. But I am real."
"Okay, Mr. Jungle Man."
"Call me Ignogwa."
"Iggynofa."
"Never mind, I liked Mr. Jungle Man better."
"Which one is it?" the child whined.
"Listen, Lloyd. Fourteen years from now, there will be pure chaos. You will go on the journey to combine Sylvarant and Tethe'alla together! But that's not why I'm here."
"Oh, I thought that was gonna be important."
"Fifteen years from now, creatures called monkeys will be trying to take over the world. The have long tails, round ears, brown fur, and an unmistakable liking for bananas."
"You mean Daddy's a monkey?"
"Huh? Does your dad have a tail?"
"Well, maybe it got cut off or something. But he has round ears, brown fur, and he loves banana."
". . ." Ignogwa wasn't sure what to say to that one. "Okay then. But, no. Monkeys are animals, Lloyd."
"But are they mammals, since they have fur?"
"Yes, Lloyd."
"And humans are mammals too!"
"You're incredibly smart for your age."
"Yes, Mr. Jungle Man."
"Forget all that you learned before this dream."
"Okay."
"You must stop these monkeys! You're about to wake up, so I can't stay very long. You got that?"
"Yes, Mr. Jungle Man!" Lloyd clapped.
"Good. Don't forget. . ."
He woke up with a start. Monkeys? They sounded mean! Lloyd ran into his parents' room.
"Mommy!" He started tugging on the sheets on her side of the bed when another lump rose.
"Lloyd, what are you doing?"
"Daddy, Mr. Jungle Man said that in fifteen years, monkeys are gonna take over the world!"
"What?"
"I don't wanna face monkeys!" He crawled into his father's lap and started to sniffle.
"Who was this. . . 'Mr. Jungle Man?'"
"Well, he had funny clothes, and his hair was blue."
Kratos thought for a moment. Blue hair. Yuan on sugar, probably. Stupid angel.
"Shh, it'll be okay. There aren't going to be any monkeys."
"You sure?"
"Yeah, just go to sleep."
"Um, can I go to sleep with you guys?"
"Sure." His son crawled in between him and his mother, and Lloyd quickly fell asleep. He patted his sleeping child's head before falling asleep himself.
A/N: Yes, I'm done with the prologue already. XD I love some of my own lines sometimes.
"Oh, I thought that was important."
Just to let you know, Lloyd is about three years old, and this is before Cruxis caught them. I don't really know the intelligence of a three-year-old, since I don't know any. o.o; I have a four-year-old neighbor, but like I said, I don't know. o.o;
Please review! I promise this will be funnier. Or I'll give you your money back!
(AKA: $0)
