A/N: Hi. I'm back on my laptop. I think I need to start this next chapter already xD Here ya go~!

-Richard's POV-

I was walking to where Klunk told me Ratchet lived. I had my perfect disguise on; there's no way they're gonna notice a difference. But I am going to have to act like him though. I wonder how I'm going to do that...hmm...I'll think of something. Anyway- wait a minute...did I remember to take off my eye patch? Oh, yeah I did. Phew. Gotta give Terra credit; she did a good job on my bad eye. I don't even know how she did it, but somehow she'd covered up the huge gash that goes through it with...I don't even know what it is but you can't see it anymore. And I have green contacts in, along with 'fake teeth' because people find my dog like teeth unnatural and very scary. I wish they didn't, though. I don't really like people to be afraid of me. But they are, oh well.

Anyway, I don't really know what to think of Ratchet's world. It's very warm here. Very much unlike my world. It's extremely cold there. But, the more time I spend here, the more I miss the barren waste land I call home. I miss the chill of the wind in my bones and the soft blankets and reading by the fire in the fireplace at night and even the people. The people in my world don't feel threatened by my appearance like the people here are. But more than anything, I miss my books, and the big oak tree I'd sit under and read. That oak tree is very...mysterious to say the least. How it got there, in the bitter cold that lasts through the years is very strange. Not that I mind; I'm actually very happy. It might be a long walk from our house, but it provides a relatively quiet place that's shielded from the cold wind and snow for me to read; and I very much enjoy doing so just about every day. Thankfully Klunk isn't as mean as he lets on and always walks through the snow at night and wakes me up and tells me it's time to come home. Klunk may be grumpy all the time but he isn't all that bad of a person er...robot. Anyway-

"Ratchet!"

"Gahh!"

"Ratchet, I finally found you!" Who's saying that!? Where are they!? Why are they calling me Rat- oh wait, I know why. God I'm an idiot! Oh geez! The person just jumped on me! I can't stay standing!

"Oomph!" Ok, now I'm on the ground. And someone's on top of me. They're kind of heavy.

"Ratchet!"

"For the love of God, what do you want!?" I didn't mean to yell, oops.

"Ratchet?" Ughhhhh that voice...it's so annoying. I demand to know how Ratchet hasn't shot himself yet.

"What?"

"Are you okay? You didn't come home last night so we got worried." Fudge. What am I supposed to say?

"I uhh...I dunno what happened last night. I ummm...I woke up in a ditch this morning." What am I saying!? I do not look like I woke up in a ditch! I just showered this morning! There's no way she's going to believe me!

"Oh! Are you hurt?!" Wow. This lady...she's such an idiot. I- I shouldn't say that. I just met her. But her voice is really annoying.

"Y-yeah! I'm fine!" She finally gets off me! Geez!

"Here, lemme help you up!" Please don't. I'm perfectly fine. Trust me.

"Nah, it's okay. I got it."

"Oh? Okay!" I stand up, dust myself off, and look at the girl before me. She looks a lot like Terra, but she wasn't wearing a dress like Terra usually does. Hmmm...she must be...uhh...what was her name? Talwyn? Yeah...that sounds right.

"Hello, Talwyn." Fudge. I don't really think Ratchet talks as formally and respectfully as I usually do. How does he normally talk? Disrespectfully? Gahh! Klunk did this on purpose! He knew I'd mess it up! Why is she hugging me...? I'm very confused. Do I hug back? I guess so.

"Are you sure you're not hurt?" If I was hurt, it'd be because you jumped on me.

"No, I'm perfectly fine." Dang it. Stop it, Richard! Stop being so formal and...Richard like!

"Oh, well, come on then. Everyone's worried about you." They are? Huh. That's weird.

"Ok." She grabs my hand and drags me to where everyone else is. I can't wait to sink my teeth into her. She's so annoying. I very much prefer Terra's company to this girl's. One of the things I don't really like about Ratchet's world is how busy it is. My world is so peaceful and quiet...oh how I miss it there. I shake my head, no...thinking about home will only make me miss it more. Dang this girl's gotta strong grip! She's about to rip my arm off! And another thing! Why are Ratch- I mean my friends so far!? God! Why couldn't they just stick together or something!? Anyway, I think we're almost there because now she's calling out to them or something.

"Hey guys! I found him!" I hope I don't screw up too bad. Everything's depending on me and how good of an act I can put up. I'm not scared. In-fact, I would say scared in an understatement. I'm truly terrified. What's gonna happen if they find out? What are they gonna do? Richard, stop it. You can't be scared. Klunk gave you a job and when was the last time you failed him? Yeah, thought so. Never. I've never failed him. When he says do something he knows I'm gonna get it done. I'm going to do this thing. Another motivation is getting to try out all of his friends. Taste wise, I mean. I bet they'll all have unique flavors. I can't wait.

"Ratchet!" Who said that that? Oh, it came from the little one who looks like Klunk. Well, here I go. Let's hope I don't get myself killed.

A/N: Well, there you go. Sorry it's so short xD I'll try and update soon. Thank you all for not ripping my head off my shoulders. I'm not sure if it means y'all are going easy on me, or if you just don't care xD in case you were wondering about why Richard's line of thought and his perspective on things change so quickly, it's because he's kind of bipolar. Anyway, good bye~! :D And don't forget to be AWESOME!
