I woke up early to the sound of nasally snores from 2D, I turned over and found him sitting upright on the couch, I smiled and licked the saliva off the corner of my lip, and twisted around until I could manage myself off the bed. I searched around for my bag and felt the chilled fabric with the tip of my toe. I began searching through it and found a small package. I started walking towards the door and patted 2D on his head as I passed by. Unlocking the door, and tiptoeing out ever so quietly I reached for the open button on the lift and hoped in. I adjusted the small package in my hands and pressed for Murdocs study. Feeling the lift move upwards I began to worry, I had gotten up early to make sure he'd still be asleep when I went up, and 2D seemed especially worried about him.
The door slid open and I stepped out into the room
"hello? Murdoc you here?"
No answer, I guess he's in his room. I just set the package on his desk and decided I'd walk out quickly, but then I saw the bookshelf, I always did like reading, and decided to take a look. Just the sort've things you'd expect on any bookshelf, the classics, old man and the sea, color purple, clockwork orange, that's my favorite. In fact, I think I'll borrow a couple, its been awhile since I've read anything real good. I took them under my arm and looked to the window, I saw seagull flying around and thought I should look for him. Pressing my nose to the glass I saw him float down to the entrance, where another larger bird sat
"aww he made a friend. I'm gonna go see him"
I started down to the entrance, remembering 2D, and I decided to get him first. I walked through the open door and found him snoring, his tongue sticking out of his mouth, it was cute. I sat the books down next to him and started to shake his arm around, he moaned a bit and I whispered:
"2D…2D wake up, I've got someone for you to meet… Oh! Do you have crackers?"
"hunh? What? Whatssat?"
"come on you've gotta wake up… pleaaasee!?!"
"okayyy,five minutes…"
"no five minutes come on!!! Up!!! Crackers!!!"
"crackers okay…"
I lifted him up and held him like that as we walked, he was still half asleep. I grabbed for some saltines on the table and headed for the lift, we walked inside and he began to fall over on top of me, I held him up as best as I could but I began to feel my legs giving out, the door slid open and I heard the little midget shout
"THE LIFT, THE LIFT BOSS!!!"
"little man…. Could you help me out?"
"LIIIIFFFFTTTTT!!!!"
"umm, oh! much better thanks"
He pulled at 2D's shirt taking a bit of the weight off, and we headed out the door where the sun shown brightly.
"thanks little man"
"LIFT!"
Thedoor closed and 2D began to stir
"uhhh… oh, what up? Where are we?
He began to stand upon his own."we're outside silly, I want you to meet seagull"
"a seagull, oh okey dokey" he smiled and walked along on his own
"Hellooo seagull"
"there you are finally"
"missed me? Oh who's your friend?"
"ugh…"
"I'ma pelican!!! Seagulls in a moood!!!"
"is he? Well I brought some crackers and 2D is here to meet you"
"hiya!"
"so seagull, hows jered doing?"
"who's jered?" 2D sounded put off
"an object of her affections, a bad choice if you ask me"
"oh really…"
"don't listen to him, he's just"
"an all knowing seagull, yes I know?"
"don't screw with me now gull, just give it to me strait"
"to be honest, I'm starting to loose track of things, ask me later"
"same thing 'appened to me!! I knew the world, lost it all!!"
"sure you did, Muppet"
"I AM NOT A MUPPET!!!"
"Muppet…"
"yeah yeah whatever… here's your cracker food"
"lovely…"
"see what I had to put up with all these weeks or… months?" I questioned as I walked down the steps to the beach
"you don't know how long you were out there?"
"no, not really, I know it was a long time though"
"huh, that's odd…"
I looked over at him and could tell he was trying to think, he scratched his head a little bit and looked up as we were walking and his eyes widened
"Murdoc!?!"
I looked over and saw, it was Murdoc lying on the ground, covered in sand and his body encased in seaweed, there was even a crab crawling on him. 2D and I began to run over to him, finding each of his features as we got closer and closer, and finally we fell to our knee's to see his green face sprinkled with sand, and drool falling off his tongue.
"hello? Murdoc?"
"murdoc, you alive…?"
