29: The Question
A sentence worded or expressed so as to elicit information.
Something had been bugging Waddle Doo. While Haddle and Bandana Dee were perfectly contented with calling the ghost "Ghostie", he was not so sure himself. He'd rather know her name.
He had been repeatedly telling himself if Haddle could live with calling him just "Waddle Doo" and not knowing his name for a great deal of time, then he could, too.
But Waddle Doo wanted to know. He could not handle it as much as Haddle could, unfortunately. He would not stand for calling the ghost "Ghostie". It was simply not possible for the spherical cyclops. EVER.
So, he walked down to the pendulum clock, where the ghost would usually be when she wasn't with them, and saw her. He tried to start a conversation, that would hopefully somehow lead to her name. He was pretty scared of asking for her name. He wasn't exactly sure why, though. Maybe he was just too much of a chicken. But he didn't care.
"Hi," Waddle Doo began.
"Hello, Waddle Doo," the ghost said cheerfully.
"Oh, please don't call me that," Waddle Doo said, seizing the opportunity. "Call me by my real name."
"Oh?" the ghost asked curiously, tilting her head. "Well, what might be your name, if I may know, Waddle Doo?"
"...Mitchizuka," Waddle Doo replied.
The ghost nodded, smiling cheerfully. She felt like baking pies today. And playing hide-and-seek later, if possible. "Okay. Hello, Mitchizuka! I was wondering if you wanted to bake pies today. I was thinking of a chocolate strawberry pie. I've also made friends with Chefee and he said we could use the kitchen and its ingredients anytime. And after that, you can call your other two friends and play hide-and-seek. And then I was thinking I could go find Giggle and race with him in the sky. And—oh, how is your friend healing up? That one, Minura?"
Waddle Doo felt sort of disappointed she hadn't told him her name. "Uh, nice plan. And yeah, he's healing up quite well. He can be discharged in about a week or so."
"Oh, that's wonderful news, Mitchizuka. I hate seeing your friend hurt. So are we going to bake a chocolate strawberry pie?" she asked eagerly.
"Uh...actually, I wanted to ask you something," Waddle Doo said nervously.
"Of course! Ask away!" the ghost said happily.
"Uhm...actually, since my name is Mitchizuka...I was wondering..."
"Don't worry, Mitchizuka. I'm perfectly fine with you asking anything. Anything at all!"
"W-Well, a-actually... What... W-What's your n-name?" Waddle Doo asked timidly.
The ghost smiled brightly. "Oh! My name! That's right, I haven't told any of you! Except Giggle."
"S-So what is it?" Waddle Doo asked.
"Jillie," the ghost replied. "My name is Jillie."
And so, Waddle Doo spent half of the day baking a chocolate strawberry pie with Jillie the ghost.
