2: Trivia
Edit: I just rewatched the series and realised Mal can in fact swim. Please don't point it out. Let's just say that in my little universe, he can't.
Mike was happy to have the old Mal back. The others were shocked by the way he was so much nicer now that the problem had been dealt with. They had soon learned that there was more to Mal that met the eye. These were some of the things they had discovered about their newly accepted brother.
1. Vito had been wandering the mansion where they all lived in the mind, and had stumbled across Mal's area(they all had designated areas). Curious, he had walked in. It was a copy of the hall back in Mal's tower, the hall of the mountain king, Mike had called it. He had decided to have a little fun. The room really was grand. Just what the one and only Vito deserved, right?
He sauntered down the thick carpet and eventually found himself taking off his shoes to enjoy the pleasant sensation of the rug beneath his feet. He strutted up to the throne and found that there was a jewelled crown in a hidden compartment. Wow, he really thought of everything. He placed the crown on his head and looked at himself in the mirror that had somehow appeared, he looked good! He plonked down on the throne and put his feet out. The throne was very comfortable and he found himself dosing off, or at least he was, until... "Vito?" Came Mike's voice from the door. "What are you doing in here? Get out!" Mike's voice was a hushed whisper and he kept glancing over his shoulder like he was being chased. "Mal will be furious!" Vito almost groaned. "Go 'way." He grunted. Mike looked worried but left the stubborn persona. Vito rolled over and fell asleep on the glorified chair.
When he awoke there was a looming shadow hovering over him. He would have shoved it away if he hadn't been so nervous. "M-m-ma..." "Hello." Mal purred dangerously. "What are you doing here?" Vito stammered desperately, "Ah, er... But, um..." "Get out." Mal said softly, the tone sent shivers down his spine. "NOW!" He yelled when Vito didn't move. He scrambled off the throne, sprinted the hall and slammed the door behind him. No way was he doing that again.
The lesson: Mal is really, really protective about his things
2.
"C'mon ya gumby!" Manitoba yelled from the pool of the mansion. "What're ya so afraid of?" "I'm not afraid!" Mal protested, "I just don't want to!" Manitoba took a second to applaud Svetlana who had triple flipped off the diving board before turning back to Mal. "C'mon mate! I wan'ta get ya in the water before Mike gets back!" Mike, who was of course controlling the body, was absent, unfortunately that left Mal without backup.
Manitoba then nodded to something behind him and he felt himself being pushed, hard. Mal physically screamed as he hit the water, pure terror building up inside him. He hated this, this weakness. Mike had promised to teach him, but then the others had turned up, and Mike had slowly drifted away. He had never got round to teaching Mal... To swim... He clawed uselessly at the water as he tried to pull himself out, but to no avail. His vision went blurry and he stopped struggling, allowing the water to hold him as he drifted into unconsciousness.
Manitoba and Vito both laughed as the italian(?) pushed him in. However, as Mal hit the water he let out a terrified screech and Manny stopped laughing. He called over to Vito and peered into the water. A thrill of panic traveled up his spine as he realised that Mal wasn't coming up. Just then, Mike arrived. He took one look at the scene and let out a cry of panic before diving into the water just as Mal stopped moving.
Mike walked out back to the pool, the others had left a note saying that they would be there. That was odd however, considering... An earsplitting scream pierced the air and Mike picked up the pace. When he got to the pool, he saw Manitoba and Svetlana in the water, Vito out of it and, most worryingly, Mal under it.
Letting out a cry of panic he dived into the water, fully clothed, and swam down as fast as he could. Mal lay motionless under the water, Mike quickly pulled his brother to the surface. As soon as they broke the surface Mal started gasping for the air he desperately needed. Manitoba and Vito watched in horror as they realised what they had almost done. Next time Mal didn't want to do something, they would listen.
The lesson: Mal can't swim.
