After an hour or so, a cough came from beside the boat and as Troy swivled his head around from the wooden wheel, Raygirl lifted her fist up to her mouth and faked a smile.
"Don't cough in your hands, it spreads lots of germs." said Troy.
"Yes doctor." Raygirl once again, faked a responce. She looked over the side of the boat at Rayman who was already wearing her coat in the freezing water. She hated to see him there, half drenched in freezing water in the mist being dragged along by a boat. She thought he looked cute in the coat though with it's furry hood over his head..
"Thanks for covering." Rayman responded in a cracked voice. He smiled a sad smile.
Troy started to speak "You're lucky we found you. Do you know the chances of finding someone out here in these misty waters? Pretty slim. And so are you-... sorry."
Raygirl frowned.
The doctor wore a relaxed face completley unaware that Rayman was right beneath them. "I'm glad we found you. Something brought me to you, as if it were on purpose." He reached an arm around and rested it on Raygirl's shoulder.
"What are you doing?! Get off!" Raygirl whacked the hand that was resting on her shoulder
Troy looked startled then dissapointed.
"Look if you're trying to get somewhere, forget it! The only reason I'm on the same boat as you is because you happened to be the driver of the boat that came to get me."
"Pretty brave eh?"
"Y'know what? Screw you! If you touch me again, when we get back I'll order a restraining order against you! I don't care if I'm sick, Rayman is all the magic I need to be safe!"
"Nice try, girl. He's not gonna be around for you or for anyone."
Raygirl was enraged. She stood up with tears starting to form in her glittery eyes. Just then, Rayman jumped up and punched Troy in the face and stood there shaking. "You deserve worse you asshole."
"Thank you Rayman." Raygirl smiled
He didn't respond, just sat down beside Raygirl and shivered.
Troy started to get up. His nose was bleeding and one eye was half shut. "What the heck was that?" Then he turned towards Raygirl to see Rayman sitting next to her with a fluffy coat on. "Zombieman! Beside you!" He was turning in circles kind of disorientated, then he regained full conciensness. "Rayman?? Didn't you die?!"
"Sure." Rayman said annoyed.
"WHAT?!?"
"I said sure! I don't know what happened any better than you do, now shut up!!"
Raygirl continued, "See, Troy, this is what I mean by all you suddenly turning into jerks as soon as something goes wrong, and apparently greedy too. I don't understand."
"Well you can either get a wife or get a life." Troy shot in. "You can't have both. It doesn't work that way. "As for now, I'm getting pretty tired of my life!"
Raygirl glared at him. "What the hell is your problem? You used to be nice. Now you're a cheap, stupid -"
Poor moskito, which everyone had forgotten about, screamed as loud and high as he could, and fell over. He wasn't physically hurt.
"Are you okay Moskito?" Troy said.
"Get away! I hate all of you!!" Moskito cried. "Rayman killed my mom, Ms. Rayman doesn't think right, and Doctor T is fat and mean!" He curled up on the boat floor.
"That's not a nice thing to say to me!" complained Troy.
Rayman was rubbing moskito's head. It seemed to calm him down.
"Troy," Raygirl continued, "you're the heavier than than Moskito, me, and Rayman put together.
"Yeah right."
"Yeah, it is right."
"I only weigh 215 pounds!"
"And I only weigh 28. Rayman weighs 35 and Moskito ways 16. And as far as I'm concerned, you're making everyone sick when ever you move."
"I'm sensitive to my weight!"
"You can eat all you want, yet as soon as I take out some juice beetles you go nuts just because you want me to stay thin."
"That's not true!"
Moskito screached again. Rayman had to cover his large ears while rubbing Moskito's head. "Everybody be quiet!!" And everyone reluctently fell silent for the next four hours.
