Perspective- Darkness the Hedgehog
6: Struggle
"Wake up, guys!"
"Thank god you did that! I was having a freaky dream!" Iceberg exclaimed.
"It's true, though," I murmured.
"I know," Iceberg whispered.
The cold, hard truth stung us both like stone.
"Uh…guys…did you just see a ghost? You two look freaked out," Aeroslash uttered.
"Uh, I just did!" Iceberg replied.
"Uh, okay…" Aeroslash sighed.
"I dunno what this Black Doom wants from me…I mean I don't even know him!"
"Consider yourself lucky!" I told Iceberg.
"Thanks for taking this walk with me 'cause I've been feeling a bit whack lately."
"Trust me, I know how it feels…"
"Heh, that kinda makes me feel better…to know someone understands."
"Don't worry, we'll survive…ow!" An apple from the apple tree above whacked my head and bounced into my hands.
"Uh…"
"I'm fine. It couldn't have even caused a bruise anyway," I stuttered, "we basically had free lunch fall into our hands." I passed the bright red apple to Iceberg. Iceberg shook his head.
"Not hungry, now."
"Neither am I. I'll save it for Aeroslash."
"Okay. So…"
"You fine?"
Iceberg nodded and sat under a shaded tree. I leaned against the trunk of the tree and slid down next to him.
"No matter what, we're best friends forever!"
I smiled.
