Let's see what that little pillow does now...and see what's done to him as well.

Disclaimer: The only thing I own is the pillow mentioned in this story.

Oohhh...oh, yeah...

He turned the page with his left corner.

BOOM! Haha! You deserved that one, stupid.

He was reading Shaman King, and was right in the middle of a fight between Ren and Yoh. And so far, he was enjoying himself.

Wow, these are exciting! I should read this more often!

He turned the page and started reading Yu-Gi-Oh. And that's where the trouble started.

As soon as he turned the page, he caught a glimpse of Miss Anzu Mazaki. And he was pretty impressed with her. To an extent.

What's up with all the friendship crap, he wondered.

After several panels, he got pretty tired of the whole thing. He shut the book and looked for something else to do.

I'm tired of sitting on this stupid bed...without Elle to carry me around, I can't go anywhere. I'm gonna try to move!

The pillow gave himself a small shove forward. He didn't move very far. Barely a wiggle, really. He tried a little harder. He leaned forward, but quickly fell backward.

Meep, he cried out pitifully. Of course, if you found yourself on your back with no other way of moving, you'd probably say something similar, wouldn't you?

He decided to give it one last go. He gave it all his might.

He moved. No. He started to roll. He was rolling. He gracefully, proudly rolled...

...right off the bed and fell face first onto the floor with a light SMACK.

Hoo yeah. That worked.

He decided to try rolling again. He worked up the energy, then rolled right out the bedroom door and down the hall. Poor him; if he wasn't rolling so fast, maybe he could enjoy the scenery. Not like there was much to look at; it was just the hallway. He bumped into a door.

No door can hold me back!

He jumped up---yes, he jumped!----and hit the handle. The door opened wide enough for him to get through. He started to roll again. He found himself in another hallway.

Endless hallways around here...

He had a choice of three doors here: one to his immediate right, and two directly across from each other just a little further down.

Which one, hmm...

He opened the door on the right and peeked inside. It was Elle's parents' room. And it looked like there wasn't anything fun in there.

Ho humm...moving on...

One door was open a little further down the hall. Nothing special: just the bathroom.

Now what would I do in there, he wondered.

He went to the door directly across from the bathroom. He jumped and hit the handle, opening it like he did with the other doors. He was ready to explore!

Then he realized something: it was dark. How was he going to get the lights? He looked up at the wall and saw a dial.

If I can just hit that..., he thought.

He jumped again and tried to hit the switch. He missed, and a little thing called gravity took over.

Oh, no!

Oh yes.

BUMPITY BUMPITY BUMPITY BUMP.

He knew he was on his back. Where he was, he wasn't sure. He couldn't see a thing. Darkness surrounded him. And it scared him. If he had a heart, it would have been thumping.

I want my Elle, he whimpered.

He thought he heard a voice coming from upstairs. He stayed quiet, hoping to hear it again. He did. but it wasn't a very familiar voice. It wasn't Elle.

"Hmm, the basement door's open again. Elle must have left it that way."

The lights suddenly turned on. Yami would have shouted for joy, but couldn't. It wasn't Elle. He wouldn't talk to anyone but Elle.

He suddenly felt himself being picked up. "Hey...what are doing down here, little guy?" It was Elle's brother Joe.

Not...getting scared, the pillow answered.

"Well, Elle's not home, so I get to have some fun with you. How's that?"

Sounds fine, Yami thought.

(-------

MAKE IT STOP! MAKE IT STOP! Uncle! Uncle! I give up! Get your 140 pounds off of me, the poor pillow screamed. He was losing in a no holds match with Joe that he was unwillingly dragged in to. And he wanted it to stop already.

Please! Please! I beg you! Stop!

Joseph got off, allowing the now flat pillow to get some much needed oxygen into his also flat lungs. Which he also didn't have. But Joseph didn't just get off. He was backing up. He was backing up pretty far.

Please tell me you aren't going to do what I think you're going to do...

"CHARGE!"

He is...

Joe Jumped. Joe landed.

R-R-R-R-R-RIP.

One of Yami's seams ripped open as Fatboy-Not-Slim landed. Stuffing peeped out.

"Uh-oh...," both human and pillow said simultaneously.

Oh boy, now what will happen when Elle gets home? R&R to find out!
