Everyone was still, just looking around at each other with confused looks. John stood in the doorway next to Rose. Then he slowly backed out of the room and his footsteps could be heard running farther and farther away. The other John was the first to speak." Rose... who was that?" Rose had a look of utter confusion on her face. She sat down in her place and put her hand on her head. " It...appeared to be you...but that couldn't be." Jade smiled." So... There are TWO Johns? So, like, twice the crappy movies, right? That doesn't sound all too bad." " One Egbert is enough, thank you very much." Dave glanced at John, who had yet to react. Jade looked thoughtful." Do you think that maybe that wasn't him? What if he's here to assassinate us or something?" John shuffled around in his spot." Well? Don't you have anything to say about this, John? It does directly concern you!" John was silent. " Fine." Dave stood up." I'm gonna go find this guy and settle this." He stomped out of the room." Hey Egbert!" Dave yelled harshly." Oh hi, Dave. I think I need some help..." Dave drew his sword." Fuck yes you do! Who are you?!" John backed up." Woah, Dave what are you doing?" " I said, WHO ARE YOU?!" John smiled nervously." Um, I'm John...?" Dave took a step forward." And what are you doing here, "JOHN"?" "Well, I was sleeping and now im just sort of... HERE. So, yeah..." He looked away. " I'm sorry, but I find your story a little hard to believe. So you're John, and you're " just sorta here ". Wonderful. Look, I don't know who you REALLY are, or what you want, but I'm not letting some fucking evil twin or whatever take out my good bro." He pointed his sword at John. "Dave?" John looked at the seriousness of Dave's face, then at his shitty sword and made the conclusion that the best thing to do in this very moment was to run. John began to sprint through the tunnel with Dave hot on his tail. As soon as he broke through the entrance, John jumped up and flew away. Dave returned to the cave huffing and puffing. Rose looked up at him." Well?" "Well what?! The little fucker got away! And he was totally cheating too. Flying's against the rules." "what rules are you referring to?" Rose asked. Dave disregarded her question." This guy is definitely bad." Rose shook her head." I was with him for a fairly long time, and even if he isn't JOHN, he still seemed like a pretty okay guy." Upon hearing this, John turned his head, appearing much more interested in the conversation. " Rose, you should have heard his ridiculous excuse! He was just like " no bro, I gots no clue why I'm here, but I'm John and I got this fancy ass costume and I look dumb and I'm here to eat your bro's soul" and shit. Fucking asshole." Jade laughed a bit." Yep, that's probably EXACTLY what he said, Dave." ." Yeah whatever, its close enough." John finally spoke."I'm not sure how I feel about another me running around..." "I don't think he means any trouble, but in any case we do need to find him and work this out." Rose glared at Dave." And in a calm civilized manner that does not involve CHASING HIM AWAY." John and Jade nodded in agreement." Alright, its decided. We will find this look-alike and get some answers." with this, she grabbed their lantern and exited the room.
