"Yello," The brown haired, caped kid chimed as he looked at Stalkid, who was still in bed sleeping. The kid sighed impatiently and he turns to look at DQ, who was also still in bed sleeping. "Yelllllllo!" The kid chimed again, but still had no luck. Again he sighed impatiently. He looks about the room and he finds his old fishing rod in the corner of the room. He didn't really think of it as a fishing rod anymore though since the thread was gone and it just looked like an ordinary stick. He walked over to the corner, picks up the stick, walks to Stalkid's side, and began to poke him with the stick. He then began to yell, "WAKE UP! WAKE UP! WAKE UP!" continuously, hoping that this would awaken Stalkid. He stopped poking him, sighed, turned to DQ, and started to poke her. Instead of yelling, he leaned forward and began whispering gibberish into her ear. Though DQ didn't wake up, she flung her fist into the kid's face, causing him to stumble back. He puts his hand over his face. "EOWCHI!" He screamed. He looks at DQ and asked, "You awake yet?" She snored in response. The kid pulls his head back and said, "Guess not…" He stands up and looks around the room for other things that might help him wake up the two. He then stared at the vase on the table in the other room through the open door. He noticed that the vase was full of water (and only water). He smiled and he quickly ran to the vase and brought it into the room.
Before he did anything, he yelled, "I GOT SOME COLD WATER! I KNOW YOU TWO DON'T LIKE IT IF WATER IS ALL OVER YA!" He looked at the two. They were still a sleep. He smiled and approached Stalkid first. He tipped the vase, allowing some of the cold water to spill on Stalkid. Frantically, Stalkid screeched and waved his arms about the place. The kid's smile grew larger. "GOOD MORNING!" He chimed. "How was your rest?" Stalkid looked around him and then at the kid. "Who are you and where am I? AND WHY THE HECK DID YOU POUR COLD WATER ON ME?!" The kid stretched with the vase still in hand. "I won't tell ya yet! I gotta wake the little…. um…. thing there." Stalkid looked past the man, looking at DQ. The kid turned around and prepared to spill the remaining amount of cold water on DQ. "Um, I don't think that'll work on her." Stalkid said. The kid looked over his shoulder at Stalkid, "Why do you think it won't?"
"It's just-" the kid had started pouring the water on DQ before Stalkid could finish his statement. The kid jumped back, but only saw that DQ did nothing but murmur something in her sleep. Stalkid crossed his arms. "She's a plant. Water won't wake her up." The kid turned around and then asked, "Then what will?" Before Stalkid could answer, Jack stormed into the room and began to jump on the bed that DQ was sleeping on. "THIS WILL!" He yelled delightfully as he bounced up and down on the bed. DQ's eyes swung open and she began to scream loudly. "GET AWAY! GET AWAY MONSTER!" Jack jumped off the bed and looked at her strangely. "Who are you callin' a monster?!" His voice squeaked. DQ didn't even answer his question; she just lied there in bed, violently shivering. "Get away…. Get away….." Her voice quivered. The kid looked at Stalkid. "What's with her?" Stalkid shrugged and walked closer towards DQ. "Um, DQ? You ok?" DQ looked at Stalkid, shivering still. "Are…are we dead yet?" She asked, her voice still quivering. Stalkid slowly shook his head. "We're far from death DQ."
Jack walked closer to his frightened sister. DQ turned her head, realizing that Jack was at her side. She quickly sat up and threw her arms around him. "YOUR ALIVE!" She cried. Jack began to squirm. "Hey, hey! Take it easy sis'!" DQ then releases him and a tear rolled down her cheek. "I thought they got to you…. But you are still alive!" Jack nodded. "I did exactly what you told me to do if we were ever being attacked by something or someone. I ran out as soon as possible to the nearest safe place… Which is this place here!" DQ weakly smiled and stood up. She immediately grabbed her injured shoulder and moaned. "Don't worry about the wound there. I treated it." The kid said, smiling proudly. "T-thanks." DQ murmured. Jack then finally asked, "So, how's the village and everyone else?" DQ froze and remained silent. Jack stared at his sister questionably, waiting for an answer to come out. Jack slowly walked closer to DQ and tilted his head to the right. She then looked down and a tear rolled down her cheek. "What happened DQ?" Jack said in a quivering voice. DQ sadly looked back up at Jack and answered, "The village is gone…" Jack stood still and seemed as if he had stopped breathing after hearing this. DQ looked back down. "Everyone, except us, is dead…" Jack's eyes then began to quiver and tried his best to hold in his tears. DQ slowly opened her arms and brought Jack closer to her and allowed Jack to cry on her shoulder.
DQ whispered silently to Jack to comfort him as he mourned. The kid tapped on Stalkid's shoulder and suggested, "Maybe we should leave 'em alone for a while…" Stalkid nods in agreement and the kid quickly left the room first. Stalkid stared at the two as they held on to each other tightly. He thought about his friend for that second. 'Where are you?' He thought. 'Why can't we be together again?' Stalkid lets out a deep sigh and walks out the room, closing the door behind him silently. He made his way towards the kid, who was leaning up against the wall. The kid slightly smiled, hoping that he would see Stalkid do the same thing in return. Instead, Stalkid gave the kid a bitter, mean look and he sat down in one of the old wooden chairs. He rested his arms on his legs and looked down at the dirty wooden floor. The kid pulled up a chair next to Stalkid and sat down.
The kid's heels jumped about as he nervously looked around himself, occasionally glancing at Stalkid. The two remained silent. The kid began to hum to him self loudly, uncertain that his humming bothered Stalkid immensely. Stalkid closed his eyes, trying his best to ignore the kid's humming. The kid finally stopped humming and asked, "What's your name?" Stalkid impatiently sighed and answered, "Stalkid." The kid nodded and then said, "Well, my name's Glyde." Stalkid snorted and murmured, "Nice to meet you…" Glyde looked at Stalkid oddly and asked, "Why you got such an attitude all the sudden?" Stalkid remained silent and stared at the ground. The kid sneered and said, "Geez, I'm just trying to be nice to you and all by smiling at ya and all I got was a mean look from you. Now you won't answer a simple question. Heh! Well, isn't you nicest person in the world?!" Stalkid sighed and said, "I'm sorry Glyde, and it's just that a lot of bad things have happened in the past." Glyde crossed his arms and said, "Well don't take out anger towards everyone else. The last thing that people want to see or hear is a person who acts like you." Stalkid jumped up and glared at Glyde angrily. Glyde threw his arms up to shield himself from possible blows to the face and screamed, "HEY, HEY! I-I didn't for that statement to come out that way! What I meant to say is that people don't like other people who take out there anger on everyone else!" Stalkid narrowed his eyes and slowly sat back down, keeping his eyes on the caped kid. Glyde nervously laughed and said, "S-sorry 'bout that. I always say stuff that's almost the opposite of what I really mean! Heh, heh." Stalkid kept glaring at Glyde. Glyde nervously looked away from Stalkid and scratched the back of his head and said, "I'm really, REALLY sorry man. I didn't mean to say that and get you pissed off and all." Stalkid turned his head and looked in front of himself silently. Glyde then added, "Just don't hold a grudge on me now. I didn't mean to-" Stalkid then interrupted, "I got the point now Glyde so stop talking." Glyde looked down and continued to talk, "Why do people tell me to shut up when I'm saying something that I mean? Sheese, people these days are mean… Don't you agree with me? Yeah, they are very mean an' nasty an' all nowadays, telling me to keep quiet and mind my own business. I'm not nosy, I'll tell you that! I keep quiet and don't ask people questions about their life an' all. How are you anyways Stalkid? Oh, never mind, forget that I asked…Anyways, I'm not a nosy person or anything. Nope. Not at all…. HEY! You know what makes me happy when I'm sad Stalkid?! I sing ta myself! Hehe, It works too! Maybe you should try it since you seem sad. Say, what makes you happy Stalkid?" Stalkid slowly turns his head and looks at Glyde. He lifted his fist up and said, "A fist in your face would make me happier than jolly ol' Saint Nick right now because I know it'll shut you up." DQ then walks out the room and silently closes the door. She then walked into the room where the two sat and pulled up a chair next to Glyde. 'Maybe DQ or whatever will talk to me?' Glyde thought as he looked at her.
He warmly smiles and said, "Hello!" DQ fleetingly smiled back and responded, "Hi." Glyde's smile grew wider. 'Good. I'm getting good signals so far!' He leaned forward and asked, "I'm curious about you." DQ looks at Glyde strangely and asked, "Why?" Glyde slightly tilts his head and asked, "What are you?" DQ then responded, "A Deku."
"What's a Deku?"
"I guess you can say we are like plant people."
"You're a plant?"
"Yeah."
"Really?"
"Really."
"Wow. I can't believe I'm actually talking to a plant!"
'And I can't believe I'm talking to such a loser.' Thought DQ.
"What do you do?"
"A lot of things…"
"Would like to know."
"Too many things to tell you."
"Aw, please tell me."
"Maybe later."
"Tell me NOW."
"No."
"Yes."
DQ looks at Glyde sternly and says, "No." Glyde then said, "Yes." The two continued to argue with each other until DQ finally concluded, "WHEN I SAY NO I MEAN IT!" A punch to Glyde's face soon followed after that statement and Glyde fell to the ground, dazed. DQ puts her hands over her mouth and gasped, "Oh my! I-I didn't mean to hit you!" Stalkid snorted and said, " 'Bout time someone hit him, otherwise I would have killed him if he didn't shut up." DQ quickly got up and kneeled down by Glyde and asked, "Are you ok?" Glyde smiled and said, "That's hit number two from you." DQ pulled her head pack and said, "What?" Glyde slowly sat up and said, "Oh never mind." DQ then stood up and said, "Ok… Are you sure your ok?" Glyde nodded. "Yeah I'm fine. I'm actually getting used to that though." Stalkid looked at Glyde. "You mean you were hit in the past too?" Glyde nodded. Stalkid laughed. "I don't blame those poor people for hitting you! You just don't shut up when you are asked to do so! Tell me, what do you get hit by most of the time: boys or girls?" Glyde answered, "Girls." Stalkid continued to laugh hysterically while DQ and Glyde blankly stared at him. "Oh, be quiet Stalkid. It truly isn't funny. Besides, my brother is sleeping and I don't want him disturbed in any way." DQ said. "Yeah!" Glyde yelled. "Be quiet or her bratty brother will wake up!" DQ then screamed, "BRATTY?!" Glyde's eyes grew wide and yelled, "OOPS! I-I-I DIDN'T MEAN TO-"
"NOW YOU DESERVE THIS!" DQ screeched.
"Yello," The brown haired, caped kid chimed as he looked at Stalkid, who was still in bed sleeping. The kid sighed impatiently and he turns to look at DQ, who was also still in bed sleeping.
