Monster Island- 2 PM

10 Days Remain

Hooboy. Today was interesting. It had some action. Okay, a lot of it.

Ever since Mothra gave that big meeting about the "rift" thing, the whole island's been on alert. A few times a day, Mothra gives us updates on what's been happening both in space and on Earth. She's our newscaster, and we're her audience. Most of the time, the updates are about things she sees coming and going through the rift, or any anomalies back down here, but I don't really pay attention to anything. I have other topics grabbing my attention. We all know what, so I won't even say his name.

Today, however, was something new. According to Mothra, some of the planets near Earth have been growing these giant pillar formations. She, Baragon, and I (yes, we're now the official heads of this operation) have come up with a theory behind these pillars, based on Mothra's observations:

WHAT WE KNOW

*These pillars are large, black, pulsate, and glow four different colors (as far as we know): Red, Green, Blue, and Yellow

*They are spread out all over the "host" planet

*There is usually 1-3 large clusters of pillars

*The clusters are made up of pillars that are larger than the single, non-clustered pillars

WHAT WE THINK:

*These pillars could be a hivemind of sorts, meaning that either A) all infected planets are controlled by one source, or B) each planet is an individual hivemind

*The pillars are either A) draining the host planet's resources (if any) or B) beacons for the rift

*The clusters are the "brain" of the pillars, with the largest cluster (both in size of/amount of pillars) being the main source of energy for the infected planet

*The pillars could be like a virus, infecting one planet after another, meaning they'll head to Earth soon.

That's all we could think of, but it's something. It's just a stupid theory, so we could be wrong. So, while there's pillars in space, on Earth there's...

Nothing, still. What? Nothing? Not even a goddam attack? We all agreed that the aliens are probably not attacking because they are working together to make a fancy rift, so they may not be able to attack and/or not attacking is part of their tactic.

Today, we were just working together. Well, Mothra was popping in and out, because she's a moth that has places to go, things to do, and people to see. So, really, it was just Baragon and I doing the thinking, and Mothra was gathering the information. At one point, Baragon left to do something for a few minutes (probably take a big monster dump), and it was just Mothra and I working. And we had a pleasant conversation.

Mothra starts it with, "I know you love Baragon."

"What?" I asked.

"Don't act stupid. I know you love him."

"How d-"

"I'm a Divine Moth. I know pretty much everything. Well, not everything. I know everything from the past and present, but not the future, which is why I can only feel things that are going to happen."

"You know the past?"

"I lived it. That's how I know it. And I know you love Baragon."

"...o-oh..."

"I also know that you're blushing right now. Somehow."

"...again...?"

"This happens often?"

"Only when I talk to Baragon."

"So you do love him."

"Stop saying that word. Love. Ick."

"It's true, though."

"...Yeah...Wait."

"Huh?"

"Does Baragon love me?"

"Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't."

"C'mon, Mothra. Tell me."

"What if he doesn't? You would feel sad, right?"

"Just a little."

"No, a lot."

"Okay, yeah, a lot."

"And what if he does love you? You wouldn't be able to contain your joy."

"Damn right. So, tell me."

"You need to learn that you can't always get what you want."

"Don't be a smartass."

"Didn't I say to watch your fucking language?"

"Just tell me."

"Why not ask him?" Mothra said as Baragon came back.

"Ask me what?" He said.

"...uh...If you had any more thoughts on the pillars." I replied.

We got back to work. Not much happened. We just went in-depth with what we had before. If Mothra knows I like Baragon, and if she knows what Baragon thinks about me, then she could use that shit against me if she wanted. But I know she won't. She's too nice to do that. Too nice and caring.

What does Baragon think of me? I mean, I know I jumped to the conclusion that he does, but he may not, and I want to know if it's even worth telling him how I feel about him. But I don't want to be spoiled, either.

Love's a big pile of mystery shit, ain't it?
