Exceed
Wendy looked down at her hands shyly. Her dark blue hair almost blended into the coming darkness around them as they four found themselves waiting for the others. 'What am I to do?' thought Wendy unbeknownst to Carla giving her a proud motherly look.
They sat in silence for a while, each of them thinking about the present situation. "Do you want to sit with me?" Timothy asked Wendy, patting the empty space beside him. Wendy glanced at Carla, but her white-furred face was turned away. It looked as if she was glancing at a point near the entrance of the cave. Confused, Wendy turned back to Timothy's hopeful face. "Uh, Okay!" She replied happily. Wendy got up quickly and pushed her small self up with her hands and plopped her seat next to him. She then proceeded to twiddle her thumbs.
"So, how did you get here?" she asked Timothy while looking around the room. Carla fumed on the floor below Wendy while Tiger started to nod off lying on the ground. Tiger had left the pouch of mushrooms with Timothy.
"Uh, I walked?" Timothy said as he plucked a mushroom into his mouth. Wendy's face turned cherry-red in embarrassment. He extended his right hand with a mushroom in its grip to Wendy. "Oh! Thank you!" Wendy took it and plopped it into her mouth just like Timothy had. 'I am hungry from all of that walking,' she thought. "Does it taste good?" "Mmhm." Wendy nodded. Carla was loosing her well-earned patience. She flew up with her white wings to sit beside Wendy.
"Do you want one too?" Wendy said, now more relaxed. "Yes," Carla replied a bit hotly. "Timothy," Carla said as he handed Wendy a big mushroom that was on its way to Carla. "May I ask why you ran all the way out here to save an Exceed that doesn't need saving?" Carla glanced down to Tiger realizing that he hadn't introduced himself to them, and didn't bother to ask who they were either. Carla took the mushroom from Wendy and thought, 'This is huge!' "What? An Exceed? My parents always say he's a cat." Timothy told her. Wendy turned her body toward him a bit and started off quietly, "Carla, I don't think he knows…"
"Timothy, did your parents always tell you that he is just a normal cat?" asked Wendy "Yeah." "Well, it's most likely he came from another place called Edolas. It's in another dimension, and—," Wendy broke off. Tim's mouth was dropped. "Yeah, it's a long story," Wendy said, dropping the matter like a heavy stone.
"What?!" Timothy practically yelled. "You can't just leave me hanging like that after telling me all that!" His arms flew up to the air in his excitement and bewilderment, and a mushroom flew towards the ceiling. It's finished trajectory remained unknown.
Wendy asked him, a little warily now, "Did you find him in an egg?" Timothy pouted inwardly and said, "No, he just came by one day and asked me if we could be friends." Carla scrunched her face up a bit, and she laughed inwardly to herself of how awkward Tiger sounded. "Okay," Wendy said taking another mushroom from him when he offered. Timothy looked deflated. "Mom and Dad didn't believe me when I said he could talk- and fly." "All Exceeds can fly," Carla lectured. "Are you one?" Timothy asked. "Yes, I am. Didn't you see me fly? And, so is Happy," she added.
