Chapter 5: A New Mysterious... Thing?
---------------
Hayner ran as fast as he could to the usual spot. Luckily, when he entered, Pence and Olette were there, talking to each other.
"Guys! Zell's back!" shouted Hayner.
Pence and Olette turned toward Hayner.
"We know" informed Pence
"We heard it from the Mayor" mentioned Olette.
"You did? What happened?" asked Hayner
"Well..." started Pence "We were in the terrace, and the mayor burst out of his office. Apparently, Zell left the terrace without permission from the mayor. Basically, Zell broke his sentence. The mayor was pretty upset."
"I see..." replied Hayner
"Wait a minute..." started Olette "How did you know Zell was back?"
Hayner quickly got somewhat sad, as he put his head down quickly, but then raised it back up and answered seriously
"I saw him" announced Hayner
"What! You did!" gasped Pence
"Not only that..." Hayner continued "I... had to fight him."
"Wha...? Why?" frowned Olette
"Because..." Hayner started "Because he thought if he beat me, he could beat Seifer. You know, because I defeated Seifer. But... I think he just overreacted"
"Did you beat him?" wondered Pence.
Hayner nodded "yes" and explained "I did"
"What'd he do, after he lost?" asked Olette.
"He left, probably back to the terrace" answered Hayner
"Hmm... I see... that's good." sighed Olette, it was a sigh of relief.
"By the way..." started Pence "I saw someone interesting, yet strange on out way back."
"Really? Who?" wondered Olette.
Hayner looked at Olette, then asked
"You mean you didn't se him/her?"
"No, I was doing some last minute shopping" informed Olette.
"I see..." started Hayner "Anyway, go on Pence, tell us about him/her"
Pence nodded.
"Right" answered Pence.
"Well... it's like this..." Pence started, he liked to talk with his hands when he described something or someone, to give his friends a good picture of what he's saying. He continued.
"He had a yellow crown on his head"
Pence took his right hand and made a circular crown shap above his head
"He had this cat face with black and white cate ears. Black on the outside and white on the inside."
He took his right hand pushed his ear down to show the outside of his ear, then pointed to the inside of his ear.
"He had a black face with white on his neck and around his mouth and nose."
He grasped his neck with both hands, but not tightly, then made a triangle like shape around his cheeks, past his mouth and nose, with the tip of the triangle being a little above his eyebrows, center of his forehead.
"He's basically black. He had white gloves on and a white stomach, though."
Pence showed his hands, open-palmed, then made an oval shape, all around his stomach.
"He had red boots that almost covered all of his legs, but he had small legs and feet"
Pence couldn't show that, he just hoped Hayner and Olette could picture that.
"He had a small, black, cat-like tail that was white on its tip."
He turned sideways and somewhat stuck his butt out and made an imaginary tail coming from it, showing Hayner and Olette that the tail was pretty short.
"He also had this red cape"
Pence turned around, showing his back to Hayner and Olette, then showed a cape shape then continued
"It basically covered his back and some of his legs"
Pence turned back around, facing Hayner and Olette.
"Black nose, grey whiskers, and on the side of his face looked crown-like. White eyelids."
Pence made another crown shape around his cheeks, except sideways this time.
"That's it" described Pence.
"Huh? You didn't see his eyes?" asked Olette
"No, I didn't, sorry. He had his eyes closed." informed Pence
"I see..." groaned Olette.
"He... looked evil, but I didn't get a bad vibe from him" announced Pence
"Where did you see him?" asked Hayner
"Market Street: Tram Common, going into that cargo area with those bees in it" informed Pence
"Okay..." remarked Hayner.
Everyone thought for a minute, then Hayner snapped his right hand's thumb and middle finger.
"Well, it looks like a job for us" bragged Hayner
"Huh? What do you mean?" asked Olette.
Hayner put his hands on his hips and bent down his stomach forward a little, and started at Pence and Olette angrily.
"What? Have you guys forgotten already?" sighed Hayner, he continued "We're good mystery solvers, we figured out that the "Seven Wonders of Twilight Town" were nothing but misunderstandings. But now, this is our chance to have a real mystery!" cheered Hayner
"What mystery?" asked Pence
"The Mystery of the mysterious... thing. We'll find out who, or what, this person is and what he's doing here!" declared Hayner
"That seems a little mean... but... let's go for it!" smiled Olette as she closed her eyes, smiled, and had her arms and hands behind her back, with her left hand holding her right hand fingers.
"Oh... why not!" exclaimed Pence, then Pence continued "Your call Hayner. Who does what?"
Hayner thought for a minute, then answered
"Pence and Olette, go ask other people in town if they know or know anything about him. I'll... go talk to him!"
Pence and Olette looked at Hayner like he was crazy.
"What? No better way to find out about someone new then by talking to them, right?" commented Hayner.
Pence and Olette closed their eyes, smiled, then nodded "yes" as they ran out of the usual spot toward Market Street: Station Heights, as Pence left he shouted
"Good luck Hayner!"
Hayner also closed his eyes, smiled, and ran out of the usual spot toward Market Street: Tram Common.
P.S.: Is it! It couldn't be... well... find out next time! ' Heh... I love cliffhangers...
