A short drabble for the collection.
Our friend is afraid of Thunderstorms, who could it be?
Probably one of the shortest things I've ever written, lol.

Thunderstorms

Nerdgirl-hime

BOOM!

"Yeeek!"

He couldn't take it anymore. From his hiding place under the desk, he reached out and pulled himself painfully across the floor. Fear churned within him as flashes of lightning and crashes of thunder permeated the atmosphere.

"Help me..." The storm chilled him to the bone, he couldn't go through this alone. Luckily, Kopaka was napping right there to relieve the unsettling horror coursing through his frame. If only he could stretch out a little further and get the attention of the sleeping ice Toa.

He can sleep through this? Thought he in disbelief as he crawled across the carpeted dining hall. It was too loud, too painstaking, too terrifying. The lightning had caused the power to go out all over the Metru, and the room was nothing but pitch dark. He was blind, even with his powerful eyes which searched for the dimmest glimmer of snow-white armor.

Suddenly, the room was lit by a pale blue flash, only for a split second. The illumination would have been considered a blessing, for it lit up the path to his destination, yet it was a curse, for he knew its origin and its reason for being there. He collapsed on the floor and shivered as deafening crashes rang in his ears.

"Kopaka!" He called out meekly, hoping his quarry would hear him through his sleep and offer some sort of comfort. But it was futile, the Toa Nuva of Ice was a heavy sleeper and knew nothing of the predicament his friend on the floor was in.

He pulled himself across the dining room floor to the large chair Kopaka slept in and stood up. "Kopaka! Kopaka! Wake up!" Feeling bolder, he shook his sleeping friend by the shoulder.

"Wh...What is it?" Kopaka groggily answered.

"There's a thunderstorm."

"Derka-der."

"I'm scared of thunderstorms."

"It's an irrational fear. Lemme sleep."

"But..."

"Onua, if you wake me up again, I swear to Mata Nui that thunderstorms won't be your only problem anymore. Now let me sleep."

The look in the ice Toa's eyes told Onua that he had no other choice but to obey his brother Toa and deal with his fear in another way.

Onua sighed. Time to go get the plushie.

NOW YOU KNOW WHO IT IS. Who woulda thunk?
