Zelda does not belong to me in any way, shape, or form.
So, two reviews equals me writing another chapter. I thank Kat for helping me get through the times that I couldn't think of anything to write. I finally figured out more, so now I write. And I am typing this as fast as I can, but I can only type so fast because I have a problem with my wrist. So I hope that you like this.
Chapter 2: Enter The Act
Sond woke up to find herself in a rather large underground room. Roots flowed in and out of the walls and an occasional worm would stick out its head. A fireplace in the corner of the room sent warmth and a dim glow around as a kettle made slight chirping noises each time the fire licked the bottom. Lifting her arm, Sond brushed the hair out of her face and noticed random bandages littering her appendages.
"What happened?" came dryly out of her mouth.
"Ya' got burnn'd a lot an' were actin' weird."
"Bo an' I had a heck of a time draggin' ya' here so ya' got kinda' brused."
Sondilyn coughed a bit at this comment and rubbed the back of her head. If the first headache hadn't gone away then she would have a migraine.
"So," she commented, "What 's going on around here?"
The two dekus looked at Sond, at each other, and then back at Sond once again.
"Ya' see Dip an' I we know that the Oracle o' seasons was abducted."
"Ya'. Two witches wanna' take the castle o' Hyrule an' they created two people ta' carry it out."
Sond sat up and looked around for a second. "So you mean that's why the weather changes abnormally here?" she asked with a concerned tone.
"Ya'" Dip nodded.
"Ya'" Bo agreed.
Sond stood up just to know the back of her head on the ceiling. Crouching down, she crawled to a trap door that was located on the ceiling. Opening it, a pile of snow fell on her head. "Not another change.the weather here is so screwy."
"Well, go fix it."
"Goo' choice Dip!"
The dekus were probably right. She wasn't sure why but she had a feeling that she should. Pushing herself out the door into the snow, Sond trudged back to the city.
Onox looked at the chessboard in disbelief. "That is the fifth time in a row!"
Veran looked at him and smirked. "Serves you right to challenge such a beautiful dark mistress such as myself."
Onox just smiled and fumbled with something in the pocket under his armor. Tonight was the night that they were going to get both the Oracles and brainwash them. Once the Oracles were brainwashed they would be sent to Hyrule to get rid of the princess Zelda for good. Something Gannondorf was never able to achieve. Then both Veran and himself would become the rulers of the world. The only thing in his mind that was worrying him was when was he to propose to Veran. She meant everything to him and ruling together would be the happiest thing in his life. Should he do it now or when he had originally planned it to be.
Onox and Veran were made by Twin Rova to complete the job of destroying the princess of Hyrule. The twin witches had made them both out of the same piece of clay that was molded into the shapes of human beings but the moldings had special powers. The two of them came to life under the light of the red moon and had the special powers to turn into certain types of animailia. They had been alive now for a month but their training had just ended.
Onox had figured that getting engaged under the same red moon that had brought them together in the first place would be the finishing touch to their destiny. It would then be intertwined. Onox was about to say something to Veran when a pair of bickering twins flew through the window in the tower.
"Sorry to disturb you." The fire witch Koume said.
"We have news to report." Her counter opposite replied.
Onox's smile faded into a frown as he took his hand out of his pocket. "So what's this 'news' that you speak of?"
The icy witch Kotake retorted, "We have lost the Oracle of Ages master."
Veran stood up with a vigorous force sending the table and the chess board flying into the back wall. The pieces fell to the floor and shattered as Onox got up and took a step forward.
"THIS IS UNEXPECTABLE!" she screeched.
Koume and Kotake hovered just out of her reach. Good thing too because if Veran was to get her hands on them they would have been minced onion. Onox took another step forward and put his hands on Veran's shoulders.
"No excuse is good enough.find her and capture her now."
Fire and ice would have mixed with how fast the witches sped out of the window. Onox looked down and thought to himself that this may not be the right time to ask. Deciding to wait may be the key.
As the witches flew off Kotake chattered excitedly, "They're falling for it!"
Koume smiled a toothy grin and replied, "Yes, I'm glad I thought of it."
The icy witch glared icicles at her twin. "You thought of it?!?! You take all the credit for my ideas!"
Koume grinned evilly, "I knew you were going senile, but not this quick."
Kotake was enraged at this and the argument worsened. "You know as well as I do that we are both four hundred forty three and four months old!"
Koume would have liked to argue more but she had a feeling in her big nose that the Oracle of Ages was close by.
Kas sat on a rock watching a small lizard scuttle by intently. All of the others were doing the same as they usually would. Link was practicing hitting targets with his sword, Katherine was sketching a picture of Kafei, who was polishing his Keaton mask, Ty was brushing his tail, Timbre was taking a nap on a flat rock, Nick was making chili over the fire, and Chiron was gelling his hair once again.
He watched the lizard as it moved to the safety of a rock. Sighing, Kas watched its tail flick back and forth. "." was the only thing that came from him. I wonder what Sondilyn is doing right now.from what I feel.she's not doing all to great and it's just going to get worse. Kas thought.
Kas jerked forward as a head appeared over his left shoulder and loudly stated, "Howdy strangers! I was wondering what a strange bunch like you is doing in a big ol' place like this."
Scooting off his seat on the rock, Kas turned around glaring at the stranger. "How did you sneak up on me like that? No one ever has except a friend of ours."
The stranger put on a humiliated face and his hand crept behind his head. "I'm so sorry to startle you.I was just wandering by and you all seemed like you needed amusement." Kas looked at his strangely for a moment. "Oh, you see I'm a traveling performer and I'm looking for an audience. If you want a preview I can show you." The stranger looked expectantly looked around the campsite. He was a young man with brown hair and brown eyes who seemed a bit older than Kas. His hair was a little messed up but his clothes made him look like a regular Hylian.
The man looked around again and figured that it was time for a little show time. He whirled in a circle and made a queer whooshing sound, just to stop and face them once again. Ty and Nick's mouths dropped at the site. The man looked exactly like Kas. The only difference was the man's hair was still brown where as Kas' hair was a light gray.
"Ta' dah'!!!"
Kas looked at the man then looked at his cape. Both were almost exactly alike. "Pretty good, if I must say."
"So, can I perform for you?" The man asked. "The only think I ask for is a couple rupees for payment, since I'm a wandering performer."
Katherine looked at Kafei and Kafei looked at Link. "Can you turn yourself into anyone?" Link asked.
The man looked around the group and stepped in front of Timbre. "Yeah, I can copy anyone and their voices.the only thing I can't do is change the color of my hair."
Timbre looked at him in disbelief. Link looked at both of them and laughed. "What? Are you like twenty or something? You can't get as short as us.or as short as Timbe for that fact!"
Timbre nodded slowly. Not that Link was wrong about his size, though he could have been a little nicer about it, but he was quite displeased at being called Timbe instead of Timbre.
"Well," the man replied to Link's semi-rude comment. "One, I am twenty four and two I can get as short as I have to, to make my audiences awe in amazement."
Link scoffed and turned to Ty but still talking to the man, "I bet that you can do that but not grow a tail. You're just a fraud."
The man sarcastically replied in Link's exact voice, "Well, I bet that your little muscles can't pick up that big ol' sword over there.because you're probably a fraud."
Link glared at him and said nothing. It wasn't often that he was speechless but it wasn't often that anyone was sarcastic back to him either. Ty snickered and Nick stood up. Finishing a large spoonful of chili Nick asked the man, "Cou' ya' loo' li' Tim're?
Kat thought a second and said out loud, "What's your name anyways?"
He looked at both Nick and Kat and answered them in opposite order, "Two, my name is Jay and one, I can." Link looked up and snickered, There's no way he can get as short as Timbe is. he thought.
Jay looked down at Timbre and stared at him intently. Just like he did to Kas before Kas realized that he was there. He has a headband, green eyes, about four feet tall, a black T- shirt, blue jeans, sneakers, and a trench coat. Hummm. was the last thing that he thought about before he stood up straight and took a bow.
"Well, I am supposing that this boy's name must be Timbre and I will become an almost exact living replica of him in just seconds!"
Again Link scoffed but watched intently as Jay did his act to the group. Jay again spun and a whir could be heard. Only a few seconds after Jay started spinning there stood an almost perfect mirror image of Timbre. Again the only problem was that his hair was brown instead of black. Link's jaw dropped, what was just a person slightly taller than Kas was now a short kid.
"Hi!" Jay said in the same voice as Timbre.
Timbre stared at Jay and poked his own hair a couple times and then poked Jay's hair a couple more. "That's pretty good. You could almost think that you are me."
"But I am you."
"No, I'm only me."
"I know."
Jay spun again and was back in his original clothes, height, and his hair was again mussed up. "How was that?"
Nick nodded in approval, "Tha' wa' 'ret'y goo'."
"Aye' ca' im'erso'ate yah' too." Jay responded to Nick as he once again spun in place and changed appearances. A few seconds later there was another mirror image, but this time it was of Nick. Link thought for a second and pointed the usual out.
"Your hair isn't the same color.why?"
Jay changed back again and looked down. "You see, as hard as one can try you can't change one thing that shows your true identity."
Link raised an eyebrow and looked at him strangely.
Sighing Jay explained, "If you ever notice, when you change into a costume you always look like yourself. Even a master of disguise can't change exactly. The rules of Nayru, Farore, and Din say that no matter what, you have to always have one trait that shows your true personality. I myself chose my hair for the reason that I find that most people have a shade of brown hair."
Katherine looked up at Jay. "What is making you keep this 'law'?"
"Well, when you eventually choose your fate, the goddesses have to know. So you have to tell them what you want to do for the rest of your life. If you are a copy cat, like myself, then you tell them what you are not going to change about your physical self."
"That makes sense." Kafei stated as he sat down.
"So when we figure out what we want to do for the rest of our lives, like being the heroes of time, then we tell the goddesses?" Chiron asked.
Jay answered in a sad voice, "Kind of.you see, you are technically figuring out what your destiny is and assuring to the goddesses that you know it."
More questions were going to be asked when Kas intervened, "So that's why you are what you are."
"Yes, I was always destined to be a copy cat."
Pedro flew out from under Chiron's cape and leaned against Chiron's hair. "So can you make yourself look like Chiron?"
The whole mood changed from solemn to happy once again. "Of course! It would be my pleasure! And for a new change of pace I'll do something that your friend usually does. Now what is one of his hobbies?"
Another faerie was seen doing a skateboard manual off of the edge of the Keaton mask. "Other than heavily gelling his hair all the time, he plays the guitar."
Kafei swiped at Keeto as he said this, "That came out rude."
Jay laughed for a while as the faeries comically insulted each other.
Leaning against Chiron's hair, Pedro flicked an end. "You know with all of this gel, one good match could set your hair up in flames.of course that's usually what I do to Cyrus."
"Let me guess," Dink said crossing her arms, "You can make an exception."
"Hey how'd you guess?"
Thinking of the act he was supposed to be putting on, Jay spun and came out as a Chiron replica. "How's this on for size?" Jay pulled out a guitar. "And now time for an oldie." Both Chiron and Jay yelled at the same time, "ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!!"
It was one of the best acts to be seen for a while. As Jay sang, Chiron joined in along with Nick, Kafei, Link, and Ty singing in the background. For added effect Kat pelted pebbles into a large rock to represent gunshots. Kas fought hard not to laugh but ended up cracking toward the end when Jay and Chiron collided in a jump and ended up doing splits and landing on each other's boot.
After that show, Jay wanted to take a rest. Being an actor didn't mean that he couldn't get hurt and being cross-eyed wasn't his favorite thing. Nick got up and crossed in front of the group.
"I's tim' fo' dinn'r."
The group grimaced. Even though Sond was a bad cook, they would have rather tolerated her cooking than Nicks. Nick's cooking could torch the fur off of an armored Wolfos. They walked slowly from their seats and placed themselves sullenly around the fire. Each of them picked up a bowl and spoon that was next to their rears and held them forward as Nick plopped a huge spoonful of chili in each.
Katherine looked at her bowl and poked at it with her spoon. "It isn't eating away at the spoon like it did last time."
"But it still smells funny." Replied Kafei as he pulled his nose away from the bubbling brew in his bowl.
Ty eyed it suspiciously. He could handle really hot dishes and so could Kas, but Nick's food was unbearably hot. Last time the group ate his chili they had to go through over five bottles of stomach pills. Jay took a look for himself at the chili and stuck his spoon into the bubbling mixture.
Taking a bite he chewed it for a second and stated, "This is the best chili that I have ever tasted!!!"
The gang looked at each other and shrugged. If one person could eat it and not fall over choking than it must be safe. Each of them took a large spoonful and shoved it into their mouths. They couldn't have done a more stupid move. Kafei ran from his seat gagging while Kat fell over holding her throat. Ty and Link passed out and Timbre couldn't talk. Chiron sat, eyes watering.
Jay looked around at everyone and then back at his bowl, "What's wrong with all of you?"
Kas looked at Jay skeptically and slowly shook his head. "Unlike you, most of us do not have the capacity to withstand very spicy foods."
"You can handle it, can't you? I mean you didn't pass out."
Poking at his food Kas looked at the spice stricken children. "I can handle it to a certain extent."
Chiron stood up. "I can handle anything that people can dish out!"
"Les' 'ave ah ea'in' con'est!" Nick yelled.
Ty and Link who were currently on the ground looked up at Nick who was standing with a huge bowl in his hands.
Jay stood up and started the count-off. Apparently with boys they know when there is a contest and don't even have to agree.
"Five," The three boys sat down in a row on a log.
"Four," The bowls were readied in each of their laps.
"Three," The spoons readied in their hands dipped into the bowls.
"Two," Mouths gaped as they filled their spoons.
"One," All three bent towards the bowls.
"GO!" Jay yelped as they started engulfing the chili.
Everyone stared at the boys as they finished off one bowl in less than a minute and a half. Kat had to get up to refill their bowls as they literally inhaled it. After about three bowls Chiron had had enough. He put his bowl down in defeat and crunched down on the ground into a small ball.
"If it's that spicy going in, it's going to be a zinger coming ou-"
"Stop that sentence right now Link," Timbre interfered, "That is both gross and not appropriate for dinner."
Link looked at Timbre with eyes a slit. "Fine. but don't interrupt me again, Timbe."
Timbre looked at Link and blew a breath of air out of his nose. He's going to get it sometime. He thought. By the time Timbre looked back at the competing boys they were already on their seventh bowl of chili.
Ty turned to Kas, "Who do you think is going to win?"
"All depends on who can stand it the most."
Nick and Jay finished off their eleventh bowl when Nick put his spoon down. An unusual squeak came from his mouth that made it sound as if he were wheezing.
"Ya' s'ill 'aven't 'on un'ill ya' fins' tha' bowl."
Jay put the bowl to his mouth and turned it to a ninety-degree angle and finished it off. Everyone looked at him in disbelief. No one had ever finished even one bowl of Nick's chili nor the less beat him at eating it.
Jay wiped his mouth with his arm and Kat chimed in, spice still burning in her mouth, "Nick? How many bottles of Volcanian hot magma sauce did you put in this time? I mean- last time you put in three bottles, but it seemed hotter."
Picking up his bowl in one hand and counting the fingers on his other, Nick replied, "Ab'ot seven bot'les. 'er so."
Timbre and Ty looked at each other in astonishment. Volcanian hot magma sauce was the hottest thing on the face of the earth, no one could down that many bottles in that little time. Plus, Nick drank that all the time so beating Nick at his own game had to take some skill.
Walking up to Jay Nick bowed in front of him, "Aye giv' ya' mah' re'pect. An' aye giv' ya' ah bot'le o'mai 'ot sauce."
Jay took the bottle carefully in his hand and placed it in a small bag at his waist. Bowing back Jay said, "You were a rightful opponent. I highly regard you and Chiron for a very good competition."
The sun started setting in the west and everyone was getting ready for an early retire. Sleeping bags were set not too far from the fire and teeth were brushed. Kas went over to a nearby tree and rested himself comfortably in the branches above. He may have been a strange sight to most people but not to the gang. Kas didn't sleep like everyone else. Instead he slept upside down from the middle branches.
Jay looked at Kas before he got into his sleeping bag, "Well, if it works for him and he can sleep fine, then it's perfectly fine to sleep that way."
Everyone else got comfortable and one by one they slowly fell into a restful sleep. Jay laid on his back and looked at the stars that were appearing from behind the blanket of colors coming from the setting sun. He watched them for an hour wondering about his real cause. He was a copycat but after explaining to these newfound friends his purpose he started to wonder again. What he was really doing in this world was looking for any living relative that he might have left. After twelve years he still hadn't found anyone or any clue that may help him. A quiet voice from his left startled him.
"Are you asleep yet?"
Jay turned on his side and looked Timbre straight in the face. "Yeah. I'm still up."
"Where do you come from? I mean- everyone comes from somewhere."
Turning back onto his back Jay laid his hands under his head. "I live in Lynnia. I'm just on some personal business and on some acting business also."
Timbre turned onto his back also and asked, "Have you ever met anyone named Tejina? And the people she travels with? There is a woman big guy with blue hair and that's her brother. They went to Lynnia recently."
Jay thought a moment, "I may have seen them. I've seen so many people that I don't remember them all. I might have also seen them at the festival in Clock town where all the shows were going on. So I might have seen them but I might not have."
Timbre looked at his hands and closed his eyes, "Oh..." was the last thing he said before he fell into a deep sleep.
***
Well, I think that I will stop here for now. The reason? You may ask. Because I have a part coming up that I need to connect to another because they connect. If that makes any sense at all. Plus, I have popcorn chicken that I want to eat. I would really appreciate reviews and "creative criticism" as Kat would say. I hope to get better at writing and to make longer chapters. This is what the goal of my story is. And again thank you! ^_^!
So, two reviews equals me writing another chapter. I thank Kat for helping me get through the times that I couldn't think of anything to write. I finally figured out more, so now I write. And I am typing this as fast as I can, but I can only type so fast because I have a problem with my wrist. So I hope that you like this.

"So when we figure out what we want to do for the rest of our lives, like being the heroes of time, then we tell the goddesses?" Chiron asked.
Jay answered in a sad voice, "Kind of.you see, you are technically figuring out what your destiny is and assuring to the goddesses that you know it."
More questions were going to be asked when Kas intervened, "So that's why you are what you are."
"Yes, I was always destined to be a copy cat."
Pedro flew out from under Chiron's cape and leaned against Chiron's hair. "So can you make yourself look like Chiron?"
The whole mood changed from solemn to happy once again. "Of course! It would be my pleasure! And for a new change of pace I'll do something that your friend usually does. Now what is one of his hobbies?"
Another faerie was seen doing a skateboard manual off of the edge of the Keaton mask. "Other than heavily gelling his hair all the time, he plays the guitar."
Kafei swiped at Keeto as he said this, "That came out rude."
Jay laughed for a while as the faeries comically insulted each other.
Leaning against Chiron's hair, Pedro flicked an end. "You know with all of this gel, one good match could set your hair up in flames.of course that's usually what I do to Cyrus."
"Let me guess," Dink said crossing her arms, "You can make an exception."
"Hey how'd you guess?"
Thinking of the act he was supposed to be putting on, Jay spun and came out as a Chiron replica. "How's this on for size?" Jay pulled out a guitar. "And now time for an oldie." Both Chiron and Jay yelled at the same time, "ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST!!!!"
It was one of the best acts to be seen for a while. As Jay sang, Chiron joined in along with Nick, Kafei, Link, and Ty singing in the background. For added effect Kat pelted pebbles into a large rock to represent gunshots. Kas fought hard not to laugh but ended up cracking toward the end when Jay and Chiron collided in a jump and ended up doing splits and landing on each other's boot.
After that show, Jay wanted to take a rest. Being an actor didn't mean that he couldn't get hurt and being cross-eyed wasn't his favorite thing. Nick got up and crossed in front of the group.
"I's tim' fo' dinn'r."
The group grimaced. Even though Sond was a bad cook, they would have rather tolerated her cooking than Nicks. Nick's cooking could torch the fur off of an armored Wolfos. They walked slowly from their seats and placed themselves sullenly around the fire. Each of them picked up a bowl and spoon that was next to their rears and held them forward as Nick plopped a huge spoonful of chili in each.
Katherine looked at her bowl and poked at it with her spoon. "It isn't eating away at the spoon like it did last time."
"But it still smells funny." Replied Kafei as he pulled his nose away from the bubbling brew in his bowl.
Ty eyed it suspiciously. He could handle really hot dishes and so could Kas, but Nick's food was unbearably hot. Last time the group ate his chili they had to go through over five bottles of stomach pills. Jay took a look for himself at the chili and stuck his spoon into the bubbling mixture.
Taking a bite he chewed it for a second and stated, "This is the best chili that I have ever tasted!!!"
The gang looked at each other and shrugged. If one person could eat it and not fall over choking than it must be safe. Each of them took a large spoonful and shoved it into their mouths. They couldn't have done a more stupid move. Kafei ran from his seat gagging while Kat fell over holding her throat. Ty and Link passed out and Timbre couldn't talk. Chiron sat, eyes watering.
Jay looked around at everyone and then back at his bowl, "What's wrong with all of you?"
Kas looked at Jay skeptically and slowly shook his head. "Unlike you, most of us do not have the capacity to withstand very spicy foods."
"You can handle it, can't you? I mean you didn't pass out."
Poking at his food Kas looked at the spice stricken children. "I can handle it to a certain extent."
Chiron stood up. "I can handle anything that people can dish out!"
"Les' 'ave ah ea'in' con'est!" Nick yelled.
Ty and Link who were currently on the ground looked up at Nick who was standing with a huge bowl in his hands.
Jay stood up and started the count-off. Apparently with boys they know when there is a contest and don't even have to agree.
"Five," The three boys sat down in a row on a log.
"Four," The bowls were readied in each of their laps.
"Three," The spoons readied in their hands dipped into the bowls.
"Two," Mouths gaped as they filled their spoons.
"One," All three bent towards the bowls.
"GO!" Jay yelped as they started engulfing the chili.
Everyone stared at the boys as they finished off one bowl in less than a minute and a half. Kat had to get up to refill their bowls as they literally inhaled it. After about three bowls Chiron had had enough. He put his bowl down in defeat and crunched down on the ground into a small ball.
"If it's that spicy going in, it's going to be a zinger coming ou-"
"Stop that sentence right now Link," Timbre interfered, "That is both gross and not appropriate for dinner."
Link looked at Timbre with eyes a slit. "Fine. but don't interrupt me again, Timbe."
Timbre looked at Link and blew a breath of air out of his nose. He's going to get it sometime. He thought. By the time Timbre looked back at the competing boys they were already on their seventh bowl of chili.
Ty turned to Kas, "Who do you think is going to win?"
"All depends on who can stand it the most."
Nick and Jay finished off their eleventh bowl when Nick put his spoon down. An unusual squeak came from his mouth that made it sound as if he were wheezing.
"Ya' s'ill 'aven't 'on un'ill ya' fins' tha' bowl."
Jay put the bowl to his mouth and turned it to a ninety-degree angle and finished it off. Everyone looked at him in disbelief. No one had ever finished even one bowl of Nick's chili nor the less beat him at eating it.
Jay wiped his mouth with his arm and Kat chimed in, spice still burning in her mouth, "Nick? How many bottles of Volcanian hot magma sauce did you put in this time? I mean- last time you put in three bottles, but it seemed hotter."
Picking up his bowl in one hand and counting the fingers on his other, Nick replied, "Ab'ot seven bot'les. 'er so."
Timbre and Ty looked at each other in astonishment. Volcanian hot magma sauce was the hottest thing on the face of the earth, no one could down that many bottles in that little time. Plus, Nick drank that all the time so beating Nick at his own game had to take some skill.
Walking up to Jay Nick bowed in front of him, "Aye giv' ya' mah' re'pect. An' aye giv' ya' ah bot'le o'mai 'ot sauce."
Jay took the bottle carefully in his hand and placed it in a small bag at his waist. Bowing back Jay said, "You were a rightful opponent. I highly regard you and Chiron for a very good competition."
The sun started setting in the west and everyone was getting ready for an early retire. Sleeping bags were set not too far from the fire and teeth were brushed. Kas went over to a nearby tree and rested himself comfortably in the branches above. He may have been a strange sight to most people but not to the gang. Kas didn't sleep like everyone else. Instead he slept upside down from the middle branches.
Jay looked at Kas before he got into his sleeping bag, "Well, if it works for him and he can sleep fine, then it's perfectly fine to sleep that way."
Everyone else got comfortable and one by one they slowly fell into a restful sleep. Jay laid on his back and looked at the stars that were appearing from behind the blanket of colors coming from the setting sun. He watched them for an hour wondering about his real cause. He was a copycat but after explaining to these newfound friends his purpose he started to wonder again. What he was really doing in this world was looking for any living relative that he might have left. After twelve years he still hadn't found anyone or any clue that may help him. A quiet voice from his left startled him.
"Are you asleep yet?"
Jay turned on his side and looked Timbre straight in the face. "Yeah. I'm still up."
"Where do you come from? I mean- everyone comes from somewhere."
Turning back onto his back Jay laid his hands under his head. "I live in Lynnia. I'm just on some personal business and on some acting business also."
Timbre turned onto his back also and asked, "Have you ever met anyone named Tejina? And the people she travels with? There is a woman big guy with blue hair and that's her brother. They went to Lynnia recently."
Jay thought a moment, "I may have seen them. I've seen so many people that I don't remember them all. I might have also seen them at the festival in Clock town where all the shows were going on. So I might have seen them but I might not have."
Timbre looked at his hands and closed his eyes, "Oh..." was the last thing he said before he fell into a deep sleep.

Well, I think that I will stop here for now. The reason? You may ask. Because I have a part coming up that I need to connect to another because they connect. If that makes any sense at all. Plus, I have popcorn chicken that I want to eat. I would really appreciate reviews and "creative criticism" as Kat would say. I hope to get better at writing and to make longer chapters. This is what the goal of my story is. And again thank you! ^_^!
