C'monnnn I'm not thaaaat evil. Okay. Maybe I am. Cease your conversations children. For here is...*dundun* the next entry.Dear Noobcake,
Lovely.
My best friend wants to kill me.
"Bodies will not receive new souls unless they have a love," Keiah said softly. "So your being with Beauty, Xialburg, only fit together in the broa-"
Then the door opened again.
"Hey cool, who got piranha? Jack! Did you get me a present?"
No.
It can't be...
And Gothie entered the room.
My jaw dropped, and I looked from one Gothie to another. They were absolutely the same, from the scratch, the pattern of the fur, to how they stood. Except the one who had just entered was slightly dusty, as if he had been rolling in sand.
Beauty made a surprised noise, and Heidi gave a squeal. "Gothie!"
The Gothie that had just entered looked confused. "Who are you? Wing-Man, Beaut, what are you doing in my house? Woaaahhh doppleganger dude. Hi."
This is just weird.
The Gothie that had been here forever sighed. "Dang it. I thought we had this covered." He whirled on Metallic. "You said he wouldn't be back for at least a week!"
"That's what it said!" Metallic whined.
"Gone where? Two Gothies? What?" I said, feeling really stupid even saying this.
Gothie that had just entered blinked and looked at me. "Xi, I went to the beach with some of my friends. I saved up some money so we could chip in and rent a beach house. Totally sweet. I told you! I got to miss the end of school!"
"But you came the next day and said your parents changed your mind!" I said, as Heidi whimpered as apparently at least one Gothie had no idea who she was.
The Gothie that had been here folded his arms and laughed, sounding not like Gothie at all. It was lower, more mature. "Idiot. We didn't plan right, and you still don't understand? Ha." And then he tapped his right claw to his nose.
His entire outline began to shimmer. And then he reappeared. "I am
00121. Laugh at my form, but hey. This isn't just chocolate. Eat me and you die." His lip twitched. "It was so perfect. So close. Idiot."
Heidi dropped her phone on the floor, as if in shock. No one paid attention except me. Daintily she extended her right bottom paw, and a delicate claw punched the "9" button.
001211 advanced on Gothie, who wrinkled his nose. "Seriously man? That's creepy. Do you stalk for a living or something?"
1...
Keiah began to back away to the door. "Look, I'm not crazy. I'm getting outta here."
Metallic released Heidi and followed, who scooted away, dragging her phone along.
1...
The phone began to ring up the number, and Heidi muffled the sound button by covering it with her foot. There was a muffled hello that I covered by saying, "Hey! Choco man!"
001211 whirled on me, growling.
"So, you come to Gothie's house, assume his identity, just so you can you know, take our bodies. Sounds like a movie!" I said, loudly so the phone could catch it all.
"Yes, you would be surprised what can happen in real life," 001211 snarled, watching Keiah's and Mettalic's retreating figures with distaste.
"You could be arrested, you and your stone wolf from the mall and the robot!" I said. "It sounds so crazy, police aren't going to believe us!"
"And that's the beauty of it!" 001211 laughed at me. "That Emrr could only jabber after being attacked by Keiah. His little brother, their minds are more flexible."
Veea began to cry. There was silence from the phone, but I could hear sirens in the distance...
Writemorelater,
Noobcake seeya!
