Chapter 4: Meeting a Comrade.
Fuyuki began to fervently pack his school bag with paranormal books, videos and, of course, snacks. Today was the big day, his comrade from the chat room had touched down yesterday, and had taken the time to settle into the new time schedule but today was the day they had agreed to meet, and discuss further their theories about aliens and cryptids. Fuyuki was glad that there was not only someone who agreed with him on many things, but also was the same age as him and with who he could have a conversation with.
"I'm going to pick up Dib!" He yelled, "I'll be back in a couple of hours." "Don't bring home any new aliens!" Natsumi yelled, in a normal house that would have been considered a joke, but in the Hinata house that comment was made with all seriousness, "'K" Fuyuki said as he walked out and towards the park where he would meet Dib. As he walked a strange sound reached his ears, it sounded like the combination of a pig squeal and some sort of futuristic motor. Fuyuki looked around, left: nothing, Right: nothing, behind him: nothing, any normal person would write this off as some sort of illusion, but ever since Fuyuki had met the Sgt. he had learned to never write off anything he saw as an illusion, and to do what most normal people would not, so he did just that, he looked up. This was abnormal beyond the abnormal, He had expected to see some bizarre alien space ship with a cannon aimed at him, instead he saw a PIG. It was floating above him, a big pink ping with motorcycle handles. Standing on its back was a bizarre, green, insect/human like being about the same size as the Keronians, with two large antenna, and big red eyes. It was scoping the area nearby with some bizarre set of binoculars, and it seemed to be having a conversation with itself, Fuyuki could just barely make it out, "Good thing we made it here today Gir, that filthy Big headed worm child will soon be within my clutches, and when I have him I'll…," Suddenly the Creature saw Fuyuki through his binoculars, and began to panic, "AAAGHHHHH GIR WE'VE BEEN SEEN! MOVE US NOW, NOW!" The Creature looked at Fuyuki "THIS IS NORMAL!" it yelled at him and then zoomed away.
Fuyuki stood dumbfounded, a look of confusion on his face. What the heck was that thing, it was clearly not human, but had it even been an alien. Of all the weird things he had seen not one of them had been riding a giant pig, talking with whatever a GIR was, and yelled at him in what sounded like English. "It was probably my imagination," He said to himself and walked off.
Dib sat on the park bench and checked his watch; it was almost time for Fuyuki to show up, and take him to the house. He was so pleased to meet someone who actually seemed to take him seriously; at long last he could actually talk to a person who actually took him seriously. "This could be the greatest day of my life to date!"
Suddenly he heard a voice call his name, 'Oy Dib-san!" he looked over and saw Fuyuki Hinata in the flesh. He looked just like his photo that he had sent Dib, though he seemed slightly shorter, but that didn't matter now, He could hardly contain his excitement as he ran over to him ,"Hiya! I'm Dib, and you must be Fuyuki right?" "Yep," Fuyuki said smiling, "Glad to finally meet you Dib-san." Dib was a bit embarrassed, it was weird to have San put at the end of his name, it was almost like being called Mr. It was like finally being taken seriously. "It's nice to meet you too." They bowed then shock hands. "Well I'll take you to our house so you can get settled in," Fuyuki said, "Sounds great," Dib grinned "While we walk we can discuss some of our paranormal studies." "Great" Fuyuki smiled, "I'll start what's your favorite branch of paranormal studies?" Dib smiled somewhat smugly, "Well I'm pretty well rounded, but I think I really excel in extraterrestrial studies." "Hey that's the same with me," Fuyuki chimed, "Great!" Dib said "That's another thing we have in common then." They walked on together laughing and discussing matters further, little did either of them realize just how much they actually had in common, but they would soon come to realize and things would change forever after the events that were set to transpire.
