One might wonder why the heck we have two very different accounts of "The Boulder" story. Let me get this straight. I WROTE MINE BEFORE ORCHID!!! MINE IS COOLER BECAUSE IT'S FROM GARET'S VEIW! READ MY VERSION AND LOVE IT!!!
Isaac: Wait. When did you write this?
Like, two or three months ago. Why?
Isaac: Why would you need a muse then?
Because Garet is warm and snuggily.
Isaac: But if you don't need me, I can just leave.
No! I need my Garet-poo back!
Isaac: And I need the money your Garet-poo is paying me to stay here.
Looks like you have to stay, then.
Isaac: NOOOOO!!!
A Night of Nadir
"Garet, get up you lazy hog!" Garet's older sister shouted into his ear.
Garet sat up with a start. "I'll never eat pork again!"
"You're still asleep, dork!" His sister smacked him across the face.
"Wha?" Garet looked around with a yawn. "What time is it?"
"Somewhere around one a.m. Grab your stuff, the family's heading down to the plaza!" she declared, walking away.
"What's going on?" Garet asked.
She shrugged. "Lots of rocks keep falling from Mt. Aleph. I heard someone say that The Boulder is falling."
"No way!" Garet cried, "So everyone is going to the plaza?"
"Yeah, see you down there," she said and continued walking away.
Garet stared at her with wide eyes. "Aren't you going to wait for me?"
She shrugged again and kept walking. "You're fourteen. Gather your stuff and meet us at the plaza!"
"Man!" Garet grabbed his trunk and stuffed it full of only the most important items. You know, signed baseballs, poke'mon cards, fire charms, boxers, five year old hotdogs...the works. He hurriedly tied a rope around it and dragged it into his backyard. He tugged it with all of his might, but it got stuck in the mud.
Suddenly Isaac came around the corner. "Issac!" Garet called, "Help me with this chest!"
"You idiot!" Isaac shouted, "It's raining like no tomorrow and you're worried about your stuff?! C'mon, let's go!"
Garet sighed and let go of his trunk. "Why are you up here, anyways? Shouldn't you be going down to the plaza?"
"There are rocks falling everywhere," Isaac groaned, "They've blocked all of the stairs."
"Let's cross the bridge, maybe we'll find a way over there," Garet suggested.
Isaac nodded and they ran as fast as they could across the bridge. A man who was holding The Boulder yelled at them to go faster. Racing down a long flight of stairs that could have easily broken their necks, they came to Jenna & Felix's house.
"Felix!" Isaac yelled. Garet looked to see where Issac pointed and saw Felix holding on for his dear sweet life. His parents and Isaac's father reached as far as they could for him, but it was pointless. Felix was unreachable. Dora and Jenna left to find help and Issac was numb with fear by the time Dora told them to join the search.
Garet pulled him past the half-concous Felix and up a flight of stairs. As they walked across the bridge, Isaac stopped and looked down. "Felix!"
Felix was weak when he looked up. "Isaac? Garet? Take care of Jenna if I don't make it, alright?"
Isaac blinked away stinging tears and Garet put his had on his friend's shoulder. "You'll make it," Garet said firmly and Felix nodded.
"We have to get help!" Isaac said and walked away with commitment. Garet exchanged nods with Felix and followed.
**************************************************
"We found someone!" Jenna shouted to Isaac's mother.
She smiled. "Wonderful, hurry down, please."
They nodded to each other and walked carefully down the slippery stairs. Felix smiled weakly at them and loosened his grip on the pole so that the man they brought with them could rescue him easier.
Suddenly the ground became to shake and down came The Bolder. "Dear sweet crud!" Garet ran for the stairs as it smashed down on Jenna's house and ruined what was left of their dock.
"I have to go get help!" Isaac cried and ran for the plaza.
Garet looked after him for a moment before realizing what Isaac was doing. "I can't let him go alone! It's times like these that we men need to stand together!"
When Garet caught up to Issac he was talking to two very strange people. "Isaac," Garet whispered to his fried, "They look freaky. Are you sure you should be talking to them?"
The next thing Garet knew, the blue skinned man advanced on him and he hardly had time to pull out his machete before he blacked out.
**************************************************
Garet blinked and saw a large rock with an eye looking. "Wait, how can rocks look at people?" he asked himself.
The rock blinked. 'I'm not sure what you mean, young one. I am no rock, I am the Wise One. I wish to tell you something. You have witnessed a night of nadir.'
"Night of wha–?!?" Garet shouted.
The rock blinked again. 'Night of nadir. Nadir is the lowest kind of despair. Your friends have been put through harder tasks then you. I call upon you to help them.'
"Well, duh! Of course I'll help 'em. They're my friends!" Garet cried.
'Good. I shall see you later, then. For now, you must forget...'
**************************************************
Isaac: Wow. That was completly and totally pointless. You just repeated everything that happened in the Prologue of Golden Sun.
More or less, yes.
Isaac: So, what was the point?
Hey! You can't write worth beans, so I can write what I want!
Isaac: Worth beans. Hah! I win.
What?
Isaac: You said I couldn't write worth beans, so I wrote...never mind. You're hopeless.
Thank you! And thank you, all you wonderful people who review. I feel so special! Akiko reviewed one of my stories, and she's my hero!
Isaac: What are you talking about? She reviewed Orchid's story, not yours.
That is besides the point. It's /i acount, with /i e-mail adress, making it /i story.
Isaac: Except for the fact that Orchid wrote it.
Shuttup! Shuttup! Shuttup!
Isaac: This has lasted way to long.
Agreed.
Isaac: Wait. When did you write this?
Like, two or three months ago. Why?
Isaac: Why would you need a muse then?
Because Garet is warm and snuggily.
Isaac: But if you don't need me, I can just leave.
