"…On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before."
Then the bird said "Nevermore."
-"The Raven" by Edgar A. Poe-
Scarecrow watched as Jonathan rummaged through the refrigerator, he puckered his lips in thought from his position behind the man. "I have a question that has been plaguing scholars for centuries."
Jonathan glanced over his shoulder and Scarecrow leaned back on the counter, "What has Jonny in his PJs cleaning the fridge at nine in the morning?"
"The sooner it gets done, the better," Jonathan frowned and returned to his task.
Scarecrow sighed, "It's nine in the morning, Jon! You should still be in bed or just making breakfast. Do you enjoy living outside the norm? You've got to be—"
Jonathan stood up, "You're cleanly too."
"Yes, because cleanliness is next to Godliness and since I'm no saint, I can at least be neat. But this is pushing it. When did ya wake up this morning?"
"Five."
Scarecrow sighed, "Nightmare?"
Jonathan shook his head, "No I just couldn't sleep."
"Ah, couldn't get Becky outta your head?" Scarecrow winked.
"Wrong again."
Scarecrow frowned, "Well something's up. You don't wake up so early unless you're going to work or something's bothering ya. So spill, it's not going to go away and if you don't I can always peer into that head of yours."
Jonathan shut the refrigerator and man and alter stared at each other. Finally Jonathan sighed, "If the day ever comes where we're one personality again, am I going to be a big pervert?"
Scarecrow blinked and then he laughed, he laughed until his lungs hurt and he cried. But once that was over he stared at Jon again through wet eyelashes. Instantly he sobered. Scarecrow could feel the real question Jonathan wanted to ask.
When we become whole what's going to happen to me? Will the stronger personality occlude the weaker?
Was there a stronger and weaker personality between them? Scarecrow didn't know, so he stayed silent, unsure how to answer. Yet, for reason, he felt unnerved and paranoid.
(A/N): Updates will come every Tuesday and Thursday from now on so I have time to write these chapters to my satisfaction and also work on the the other writing projects I have. Thanks for sticking by me and I apologize for the revisions you will have to endure. Also I am pondering changing my penname. I may no longer be known as Heart of Friendship, but as Pierides. It is a hard change since I have had the name Heart of Friendship since I began writing on this site and I'm still rather torn on the final decision, however.
Have a wonderous day and I will see you all on Thursday!
