Chapter Three;
Quickly I stuck my head above the water. Breathing huge breaths of air, I swam ashore, and hoisted myself on land. My tail, shimmering still with droplets of clear, clean water, was still attached to my body. Instantly I freaked out..
"HOLY PUNCTUATION MARKS!!" I screamed. Clamp. "MRRRP!!" I tried screaming again.
"But it was no use, because somebody had brutally shoved their hand against my mouth and I didn't want to bite it 'cuz it seemed gross I mean I dunno where it's been what if it just went to the bathroom I didn't see any sinks around did you hmm yeah I thought so and-" "
"Shut up!" The hand hissed.
"Sorry I didn't realize I was talking out loud I blabber senselessly when I'm nervous and OHEMGEE I DIDN'T KNOW THAT HANDS COULD TAL-" The hand pressed harder.
"Look, first of all, I'm not just a hand, second of all, if you don't be completely quiet in like 14 seconds that crazy Mother Goose is going to come and- " I quieted down, and for the first time raised my head up and looked straight into the person's deep, warm brown eyes. It was a boy, my age more or less, his hair an inky black. He had bangs that fell right above his eyes, which were sorta twitching nervously, and I bit back a giggle. Cindy would like him.. A bush rustled near us, and he tensed. Then, it was over, and he let out a sigh of relief.
"Alright, sorry 'bout that." He got up and started dusting himself off. "I'm Ralph.." He said, offering his hand. I took it, and stood. Where'd my tail go?! I panicked momentarily. For a second I debated over whether or not it was a dream.
"AAARIELLL, WHERE ON THIS POPULATED BLUE PLANET AREE YOUU?!!?!?" Cindy's loud, distinctive voice rang out.
"HEEEEEEEREE!" I screamed in reply. Another rustling in the bushes, and Cindy's face popped up.
"WHY'D YOU LEAVE ME ALONE LIKE THAT?!" She demanded, taking no notice of Ralph. In an effort to avoid the further ear-ringing madness that was Cindy, I hastily introduced her to Ralph."Cindy, (point to ralph) Ralph, Ralph, (point to cindy) Cindy." You could practically see Cindy swooning. Her cheeks turned red, eyelashes fluttered, and her voice went all weird. Ew, it was soo mushy.. I elbowed her a little to snap her out of it, to no avail.
"I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT TO MAKE." I announced. (lol.) That got her attention sure enough.
"..What?" she barked, obviously not happy about tearing her attention away from Ralph. Blechh.
"You know what, nevermind, I'll tell you guys later. Right now, we need to figure out what to do 'cuz the sun is almost setting." In all that had happened, I hadn't realized how much time had gone by.
