Chapter two: Stop laughing!
Matsuda's P.O.V.
I am walking along through the maze looking around myself until I find myself in a place full of balloons on three story white and pink round things like it's a balloon garden.
The smiling faces and the soft sound of laughter floating around me.
I walk along through the balloon garden grinding. "Oh wow! The very first balloon garden I've ever seen!"
It's cool!
Suddenly something grand my leg yanking it up this causing me to fall face first into a pile of mud.
The laughter slightly gets louder.
I glance around as some balloons move closer with one that has its string around my leg. I find I can't smile when looking at the faces. "What gives?" I ask them.
Their laughter goes back to being quiet.
A balloon with Discords wicked smile and voice comes over to me. "Awww what's the matter? I thought you would enjoy a good laugh."
I lay there as the mud somehow slides off like it isn't real. I look down and away as the balloon releases my leg. "But they are laughing at me not with me." I say getting to my feet glancing around myself.
"It's hardly different when it comes to you. Your friends laught at you all the time." The Discord balloon says.
"It is different!" I protest. "And no they don't!"
"Oh really?" The Discord balloon starts to circle around me as it and the other balloons start laughing louder again.
"Stop laughing at me!" I say in distress. I turn to look around myself in pure distress as five balloons move closer.
Next thing I see is the other elements faces on the balloons laughing at me like I'm some kind of joke.
I back away wanting to curl into myself. "Stop it!" I fall to sit clutching my knees to my chest burying my head into my knees as I feel like crying.
"Oh poor Matsuda." The Discord balloon says from behind me then as I lift my head revealing my sad eyes it moves around to face me. "And I thought laughter made you happy." It says looking me in the eyes with hypnotizing eyes.
I don't fight it. My world swirls like how the eyes I am looking at do. I feel something shift inside me then I blink and open my eyes angrily seeing the world back to normal. I get to my feet glaring out in front of me. "Happy?" I growl. "I don't think so."
The balloons all begin to pop as the balloon garden goes to a hedge maze.
"Matsuda!" Light's voice speaks as he rushes over to me from behind as I can hear his footsteps rushing over. "I'm so glad we found you." His footsteps pause.
I spin around to glare at him. "Oh you are huh?" I growl. "Why? To have a good laugh!?" I walk past him silently telling him I will not take it.
"Huh?" Light's voice barely registers in my mind as I walk through an opening in the hedge maze where L is leaning against a wall.
I don't care what the other two say as I keep going only to have them catch up to me.
Like I care and I quite enjoy the silence.
No laughter!
Just how I like it.
