Matt silently walked down the road when he heard it. At first it wasn't clear, just a quiet whisper, it got louder and louder. He looked around nervously The voice was now a pounding in his ears, as his eyes darted around the street. Beads of sweat dripped down his forehead. "Wh-who are you?" He murmured.
"I am your MASTER!" came a rough, booming voice. Matt's eyes widened. He gazed around looking for a person. There was no one in eye view. "OVER HERE! YOU IMBECILE!" Replied a loud growling voice. Matt looked to the side and saw a dark damp alleyway leading to another street. That's where the voice was coming from. He turned towards it and began to slowly walk towards the sound. He tripped over a rock while trying to get to the voice.
"OW! My head!" A gasping squeak came from below Matt. He quickly jumped back and turned his eyes to the small thing sitting infront of him. He peered at it and then poked the odd shaped object. "Hey!!!" Matt blinked and got up slowly, staring at it. "What are YOU looking at?!" It demanded angrily.
Matt simply stared, shocked at what he was talking to. "I'm going insane." He whispered.
"No you are not, I am just a good 'ol talking rock, and quit starring!" Grumbled the rock.
"I've never seen a talking rock before…" Muttered Matt.
"Well I've never seen such a stupid freak before." Stated the talking rock. Matt blinked.
"Umm… Is this some kind of joke…?" Questioned Matt, looking around.
"The only joke, here, Matt, is your intelligence." Said the rock defiantly.
"How do you know my name?" He asked, ignoring the rocks rude comment.
"Because I know everything!" shouted the rock and began laughing maniacally.
"Then…What is the meaning of life?!"
"The meaning of life is to obey me, and bend to my every whim!"
"That's wrong you stupid little rock! The meaning of life…is a movie by Monty Python! Ahaha!" Replied Matt triumphantly.
"That's what I said!"
"No you didn't!" Yelled Matt. An old man walked past Matt and glanced at him. He sighed and shook his head as Matt continued to argue with the rock.
"Kids these days…" Murmured the man as he crossed the street.
"How dare you contradict me!" Screamed the rock. "You'll pay for that, for I am always right!"
"Ha! Your just a roc, you can't do anything you stupid-stupid rock!" He retorted.
"Oh-yeah?"
"Not a thing!"
"Well take this!" roared the angry rock. Matt hit himself in the eye. The rock started to laugh diabolically as Matt threw himself into the brick wall.
"Ouch!! Stoppit!!" Matt whimpered pathetically.
"Stop what?" The rock asked nonchalantly.
"Don't play stupid!" Matt answered loudly as he threw a punch to his nose.
"But I'm just a stupid rock, and can't do anything." It chuckled nefariously watching Matt pull his own hair.
"Ow ow ow! Please STOP!" Cried Matt starting to sob.
"NO! I don't want to!" It stated stubbornly. Matt started to punch himself in the stomach. He began to cry.
"Please stop!" He said between sobs, "I'll, I'll do anything!!!" The punching stopped abruptly.
"Anything, you say?" Asked the rock thoughtfully.
"Phew..Thank you" He said, catching his breath, leaned over. He wiped the blood away from his face, with his sleeve.
"Well enough of that, you said you'd do anything and that's the only reason I stopped." The rock said grimly "Now to test you… Ehehehe…" Matt blinked at it.
"Test…?" He questioned.
"You'll find out soon enough. Now shut up and pick me up, hold me with care or I will hurt you again." It warned. Matt put his hand out slowly afraid that the rock might bite.
"I don't bite you dummy, but I can make YOU bite yourself if you don't pick me up right NOW." Matt shuddered a bit then picked up the rock.
"Hey…Um… What's your name anywayz Mr. Rock Dude?" Asked Matt quietly. The rock made a sound like it was clearing its throat.
"My name is…" Matt couldn't make out the rest.
"Huh…? Can you please repeat that?"
"NO! I WILL NOT REPEAT IT! HMPH!" Screamed the Rock.
"Well fine then! I'll just call you Mr. Rock. Dude so NYAH!" Matt hollered back.
"If you call me that I'll make you gouge out your own eyes with a dull spork!" Yelled the rock. Matt whimpered. "You can call me anything but Mr. Rock Dude."
"May I call you Harold?"
"NO! Call me by my real name! It's none of your business so if you don't figure it out for yourself I'll make you burn off your hair!"
"Rumplestiltskin?" Questioned Matt.
"No you idiot! Grr… This is giving me a migraine! I will tell you my name now. My name is George"
"Kewl."
"Really?!"
"Yep."
"You're not telling the truth! I know your not!"
"Lying about what?"
"You know what you're lying about."
"Getting a bit off subject are we, GEORGE?" Said matt, coughing a bit.
"Don't you use that tone with me!" George angrily spluttered.
"What tone?" Matt asked cluelessly.
"Oh! So now we're cocky are we? Well I'm not going to take that. Go sit in the corner! NOW!" Mr. Rock Dude named George glared at Matt.
"Aww… Do I have to?"
"Yes!" Matt grumbled and shuffled into the corner. Stupid rock. Matt thought to himself.
"I'm not stupid! You idiot! And if you insult me again or misbehave in anyway we are going to get the spork!"
"Oh nooo, Not the spork." Said Matt sarcastically.
"Okay that's it!" Yelled the rock. Matt suddenly started walking toward a dumpster.
"W-what are you doing?!" Asked Matt as he dug though the dumpster his hand rose out of the dumpster, holding a spork. Matt's eyes widened as his shaking hand reached up to his face. He looked at the rock nervously.
"Heh heh, I warned you, did I not?" The rock asked evilly. Matt brought the spork closer to his right eye.
"OKAY! OKAY! I lied! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to…" Matt pleaded as he struggled with the spork. "Please gimme another chance! I'll do anything you want!" Said Matt shakily.
The spork suddenly stopped wrestling with him. Matt sighed in relief. "Thanks."
"But this is the LAST time ore I will have to go on with operation spork. DO you understand?" Matt nodded his head in agreement slowly. "Good, Now as for that anything… I want you to eat some pie!"
"Umm…What?"
"Nah, I was kiddin, I actually want you to go catch a flamingo! And find some happy pink bunnies while you're at it!"
Matt shook his head trying to muffle his laughs "Sure anything you want George."
"Hey Matt?" Tai waved, jogging over to Matt who was sitting in the dumpster still. "Who's George, and why are ya in the dumpster?" Tai raised an eyebrow.
"I'm George, you poofy haired freak!" Yelled George.
"That's not very nice." Said Matt glaring at the rock.
"Umm…Matt, who are you talking to?" Asked Tai, giving him a weird look.
"To George." Matt simply replied.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO MATT!" George screamed.
"Aaaahhh..Right, That's nice to know Matt." Tai said unsure "And where exactly exactly is George, I hadn't heard what he said…" Tai glanced around nervously.
"I said I'm George! And I'm right here you dumbass!" George said slightly annoyed that he hadn't heard him the first time.
"Oh…Well… See ya later, Matt…"
"You goin?"
"Yeah, soccer practice, man." Replied Tai before jogging through the alley and disappearing.
"Now that that goon is gone, Matt I have a REAL request for you." George said. Matt looked down at him. There was a long pause.
"Oh, well what's the request?"
"Hold me up to your ear." Commanded George in a low-tone.
"Why?" Said Matt, puzzled.
"So you can hear the ocean." Said George in a low rasp.
"Really?" Asked Matt excitedly.
"No, stupid. Just do it." Matt obeyed, picking up George and holding him close to his ear. George whispered something to him. A look of horror crossed Matt's face.
"To Cody?!? No way!" said Matt, shocked at George's request. The rock whispered something else, getting angrier.
"You wouldn't!" Exclaimed Matt, putting George down. His hand began to reach for the spork.
"No! Yelled Matt.
"If you don't…" The spork flew across Matt's face, making a small slash on his already bruised cheek. Matt winced slightly. "Aw…C'mon Matt…It's easy…" Said George, soothingly. Matt's eyes darted from George to the spork with a tiny amount of blood on the tip, still clutched in his hand.
"Fine, I'll do it."
"I knew you would…" Purred George. The spork dropped from Matt's hand. "Now lets get going!" Said George cheerfully. Matt sighed and grabbed the rock and hopped out of the dumpster and began to bound down the street.
