Pig-sama: CONTINUATION!

Groggy.

Cloudy.

Kish could feel his eyes opening, they almost felt sticky. He could barely make out a smudge that was probably the ceiling. Or it could've been Pai's hair, it look grayish in the right light.

"Ughmerbleh…" Kish muttered/gargled.

"Hey. HEY. Idiot, get off the floor." A familiar voice said. Ah. That gray blob WAS Pai.

He felt a sudden pain in his side, someone was kicking him.

He stood up slowly, groaning.

"Was I drinkin' somethin' yesh-terday?" he mumbled, cracking his back as he stood.

"For your information, it was nine in the morning TODAY, and no. You weren't. I know WAY better than to keep any form of alcoholic beverages within a five-mile radius of this ship."

"Whatever…" Kish mumbled. "Hey, how DID I end up here?"

The alien examined his surroundings. Plain walls, some equipment…probably a mini-lab Pai had been hiding away.

"The purple monster over there bit you and you passed out. On top of her." Pai explained.

"Eh?" Kish looked over at where his friend was indicating. There he saw what was left of Popsicle, which was a furry purple pancake, with one bulging yellow eye still poked open.

"Ew…" He retched, "I think I'm gonna blow chunks…."

Pai took at step away.

"Hey wait!" Kisshu realized, "How is Tart taking all this?"

Pai pointed to the seat across the room, where Taruto sat perfectly still, eye twitching a little.

"Hmm. He's taking this much better than I expected." Pai thought aloud.

Kish suddenly felt a little guilty. Even though he was happy as ever that that monster was gone, Taruto still loved her, even if she was pretty much eating his soul.

"Hey kiddo?" he said timidly.

Tart opened both eyes. "What?" He asked through clenched teeth.

"Um….I'm sorry I…squished your…pet-thing."

"You better be, YOU FATTY!"

"Woah. Didn't see THAT coming." Kisshu thought.

"Excuse me?!"

"IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE SUCH A HUGE TUSH, MAYBE THIS WOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED!"

Kish was about to retort, but then he had a realization. Tart hadn't made a "fat" comment since he'd begun to change. What was this?

"Oh, since when am I so fat?!" He retorted at last. For once in his life, Kisshu had an idea.

"PROBALY SINCE YOU WERE BORN, BUBBLE BUTT!"

"Hey, I have a nice but and you know it!" Kish almost laughed "What's up with you anyway?"

"What do you mean 'what's up with me'?! YOU KILLED MY PET!"

"Tart. She was gross."

Tart paused. "I guess so…"

This was it! Could he finally be normal? "Only one way to find out!" Kish thought.

"Hey, Tart?"

"What?"

Kish grabbed him into a hug, and as painful as this was, Kish was very small-minded, and this was the only way he knew how to figure this out.

"Ew gawd! Stop it!" Tart cried. "PAI! I FEEL VIOLATED!" he wailed across the room.

"I'm not getting involved in this!" he called back.

Kish finally put the kid down.

"WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT?!"

"Just checking something." Kish said, smiling.

"Well if you want help deciding your sexuality, you don't have to experiment on me!"

Tart then caught a glimpse of the pancake Popsicle, and he got a little green.

"Uh, Pai? Could you maybe…take that out of the room? The eye is….looking at me."

"Yeah man," Kish said, recovering from the hug, "Just bury the thing, will ya?"

"Pssh" Pai scoffed, "I can't bury it. It's still alive."
