A billford story

-_-

"Sixee?" I call, my feet light on the floor as I walk and knock on Sixer's door in the middle of the night, hoping he isn't in the lab downstairs. I know he's building the portal for me, but it's kinda scary down there in the middle of the night. Unfortunately, it seems he is. I went into my room and took off my yellow pajamas and put on a white dress shirt and my favorite black dress pants and black short heels, then my yellow pyramid pattern trench coat. Then I walked down, holding a plush bear close as I wander down the hall to his study and put in the code. I wait, afraid of the feel in the air as the elevator stops. "Sixee?" I call, stepping out of the elevator, squeezing the plush bear harder.

"AAH!" I hear and I snap to keep the bear floating next to me. I run over to where I see Ford fighting an octopus creature. I snap, and it floats away before exploding in a trash can.

"Sixer!" I yell while grabbing him, sitting down, and laying his head on my lap. "What. Was. That?" I say in a stern but not too loud voice.

"Just a-" he coughed "a anomaly that got in" he mumbled in a scratchy voice.

"IF I HADN'T BEEN HERE YOU COULD'VE DIED!" I yell at him with tears running down my face as he sat up and wiped them away. "Sixer, you know I love you," I bat his hand away. "You're the only one I love." And he looked at me in a mix of sympathy and surprise. In his eyes, I could see mine, they changed to a red fading into pink. As that red turned blue, more tears started to fall, and I cried myself into a human-like sleep. My head fell onto Ford's chest, and I heard him let out a small laugh and gently lay down.

"Bill, time to get up," I heard Ford say gently, massaging my yellow-blonde hair.

"Five more minutes," I mumble and cuddle closer to Ford.

"My assistant is at the door" I open my eyes and see Fiddleford standing in the doorway, I immediately sit up, snapping so my hat appears on my head and my clothes are immediately cleaned.

"Hello, Fiddleford," I greet him, as if he hadn't just seen me asleep with my little six fingers. An hour later, I was just sitting in the corner, listening and reading a book.

"I think I've had a breakthrough on the other project" thats how they reffer to their project to document the creatures of the falls

I listened for more but heard nothing, so I got sucked into my book, a romance about two boys who fall in love and run away together and live happily forever. If only real life was that simple.

I only looked up when I heard the buzz of the machine firing up. With Fiddleford at the lever and Ford in, I sprinted to grab his hand, and it all went dark in the portal.
