?: What?

Shashomiru: Yep.


"Follow the Glittering trail. Follow the Glittering trail. Follow, follow, follow, follow-"

"If you keep that up, then you will be part of this trail." Seto interrupted.

"That sounds questionable. But it's so pretty and shiny." Starecrow gazed at the glistening trail in amazement.

"Oh. So you think it's pretty?" Seto said from behind the Starecrow.

"Mhm." He responded, still gazing at the glitter.

"How would you like a close up of the pretty trail of glitter?"

"Oh, that would be wonderful!" Starecro clasped his hands together.

Seto lifted his foot and shoved Starecro into the long pile of glitter He bursted into a prolonged laughter.

"Mph. Plah. That wasn't very nice."

"Aahahahahahaa! So?!" Seto grasped his stomach, still laughing.

Starecro stood up and put his arms out, covered in the sparkles. It sparkled from his sleeves and dazzled from his face.

"Oh, my God." Seto shook his head.

"Mmm." Starecro began licking the Glitter from his hands.

"Uugh! Don't do that!" Seto turned his head.

"Preeetty… tasty." He continued to lick his hands.

"Dono giddy do. Gi gi gohaku. She gahume. Chichidono!" Fro-Fro hopped up and down, the basket of goodies in his mouth.

"Wha…? You practically spoke. What did you say?" Seto looked upon Fro-Fro.

"Grr." He walked up to Seto and gave him the basket. He then walked to Starecro and gently bit into the leg of his pants. They began walking again.

"What? Hey! I'm not carrying your basket of Pudding! I'm not your maid!" Seto complained as he waved the basket around. Fro-Fro and Starecro kept walking as he looked at the basket and then back to them. "H-hey! Wait for me!"He ran after them.

"God, I'm hungry. Where the heck can you get some food when you're hungry?!" Seto looked at the basket that hung from his arm and began to sweat. He took a peak in the basket and Fro-Fro began growling.

"Well, fine then!" Seto crossed his arms. "I don't want your pudding anyway… What the…- heeeey! There's something I can eat!" He looked at a tree and saw on the branch a nice, plump fruit. The trees were full of them.

"Ahahahaa."He ran up to the tree, and pulled a fruit.

"Wait. Seto-"

"Can't you see I'm busy!? Mmm…" Seto went to bite into the fruit when the tree snatched it away from him and slapped him upside his head.

"Oh! Hey!"He covered his head and wobbled back to Fro-Fro and Starecro.

"What do you think you're doing? You can't just take a fruit without asking!" The tree shook the fruit around.

"Holy crap! Did that tree just talk?!"He rubbed his head while he stood on his knees.

"It's rude to take things without asking. I should teach you a lesson!" The tree hurled the fruit at Seto and began laughing as Seto looked up at it.

"Now, tree. That wasn't very nice," said Starecro. "I think you should apologize for hurting Seto's feel-"

"Darn you! I was gonna eat that!" he began gnawing on the tree.

"Seto!" The Starecro took a step forward.

"What?!"

"If you just ask nicely, I'm sure the tree might share."

"Ask nicely?! What kind of... argh. Can I please have some fruit from you?!"

"Well, sure! How about a bushel?" the tree said as it wriggled around and a load of fruit plopped from its branches for him.

"….." The Starecro picked up Fro-Fro and slowly edged away from him.

"Huh. How weird. It's a polite tree." Quickly, he spun around and smoothed his hair back while he took in a deep breath. "Ahh. Now where are Yugi-look-a-like and that dog thing?"

They were both huddled in a corner next to a tree.

"What in the world are you two doing over here?" Seto walked over to them.

"Trying to stay alive."

"Gee gee maku."

"Why?"

Starecro scooted back a bit.

"Um. What's this?" Seto looked at the tree they were hiding beside. It seemed sorta metallic. Seto it with his hand and it made a metallic sound.

"It must be some metallic thing." Starecro scratched his head.

"Mmm. MMM."

"It made a noise!" Seto jumped back.

"I think it's trying to tell us something. Hello. You are very skinny." Starecro hugged the thing.

"What do you want?"

"Hm hm. HM HM."

"Pudding?" Starecro looked at Seto.

"Oil!" Seto looked around. "There is no oil."

"Zing-zing. Zing-Zing." Fro-Fro ran up to the basket of goodies and pulled a cup of pudding with his mouth. He brought it to Starecro.

Starecro sat and looked at Fro-Fro in confusion.

"Zing-zing." Fro-Fro kept staring at the Starecrow.

"Uhh…" Starecro took the cup of Pudding and stood up. He stood before the figure, opened the cup, and looked back down at Fro-Fro.

"Zing-zing!" He jumped up and down in excitement.

"Hm…" Starecro dipped his finger in the pudding and placed some on the lips of the metallic figure.

It began moving its lips. It licked the pudding away and sighed in relief.

"Ahh. Wow, thanks. I was actually saying "ink can," but pudding works. Um, are you going to finish that?" The metallic man pointed to the cup of pudding.

"Uh-uh…nnno?" Starecro said nervously.

"Sweet!" He snatched the cup from Starecro and began licking up the pudding.

"Wow. I can see that you're hungry. What is your name?" Starecro smiled kindly.

"Me? I'm the Penman."

"Oh really? You look more like Tristan Taylor to me." Seto crossed his arms.

"Never heard of him. Penman is me. Would you like to buy a pen? They've got a lotta ink!" Penman shoved a handful of pens in Seto's face.

"Nnno." He pushed them away.

"Wow. Pens. They're so pretty. I want one."

"Well, go ahead, kid. Take all you'd like." Penman smiled.

"Alright!" Starecro took one of the pens. "It's pretty."

"Whatever happened to the trail of blood?" Seto said as he began following the Trail once again.

"Huh? Oh. Oh yeah! Come on, Penman. You can be our friend." Starecro grabbed his arm and they began walking after Seto.

"Actually, he can be YOUR friend." Seto spoke.

"Daka me hatah…" Fro-Fro followed behind with the basket in his mouth.

Once again they stepped forward for the Spazz of Os, with a new friend at their side…


Shashomiru: Well, there you are.
