Ray- *Whew* that was a close one need to be more careful *looks at Staff* and I need to know how you work

(Ends on the staff)

/////////////////Dread-Head\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\

(Opens up on Ray practicing with the Staffbut he looks exhausted already)

Ray- I’m still not able to change its size all the time but at least I got it to its original form

(He does some crude swings with the staff decides to take a break because his ribs still hurt)

Ray- Ok I think I know what I’m doing *holds ribs* but im not gonna get anywhere with this injury

(Cut to him in his hideout, as he places the staff down gently on the floor)

Ray- *Fhew* not dropping it down again after that

(He then sits on his couch with Rafiki right beside him)

Ray- I need to find a way to control this thing because it may come in handy if I want to go for another supply run *rubs his chin*

(Ray goes over to his cupboard)

Ray- Looks like I got enough to last for a while so that gives me plenty of time to get the hang of it

(Ray then looks at the night sky)

Ray- But maybe I should get some sleep first

(He then lays on his couch, and Rafiki nuzzles up beside him)

Ray- So you want to sleep with me this time

Rafiki- *meow*

Ray- Alright

(They both go to sleep together)

(The next day)

(Ray wakes up gets dressed and walks to the place he and Rex usually meet)

Ray- Yo, Rex

Rex- Huh, Ray Yo, where you been man

Ray- Just got hurt on my way home

Rex- What what happened

(They start walking)

Ray- Uh…I got hit by a car

Rex- See man I told you to be careful and get your head out them damn clouds

Ray- Yeah yeah

Rex- I’m serious man I wouldn’t want to lose you

Ray- Ok dude I get it *in head* He sounds really concerned, thats rare

(They get to school, Ray and Rex walk in and everyone is surprised to see Ray)

Teacher- Well, Mr. Ray decided to come back from the dead I see

Ray- *going to his seat* Good to see you too Teach

(Class gets started, the Teacher is Teaching)

Ray- *in head* I might need to consider staying at Rex’s house, now that 2 of the Supreme Generals have started guarding the warehouses

(looks over to Rex)

Ray- *in head* I wonder if he’ll let me

(then it’s lunch time)

Ray- It’s interesting I’ve been gone for one day and the food already feels different

Rex- Thats kind of weird especially since it hasn’t changed

Ray- Guess I just missed it

Rex- For a day

(Ray doesn’t mind him as he continues to eat his sandwich)

Ray- Hey Rex…

(then Charmi comes over)

Charmi- Hey Ray, where were you yesterday

Ray- I-

Rex- He was hit by a car

Charmi- *shocked* Oh my goodness, Ray are you alright, hurt or bleeding

Ray- Naw I’m fine just some bruises here and there *in head* and maybe a broken rib

Charmi- You need to be more careful out there, did you at least go and get checked

Ray- Well-

Rex- Honestly where would he go the doc doesn’t really have much in terms of medicine, *serious angered tone* those rich bastards should just watch where their going

Charmi- Of course they did it, just because we live down here and we aren’t as well off, doesn’t mean they can just treat us like that

Rex- Well they can because they have the resources to back or cover it up

Ray- C’mon guys let’s just get over it, it happened and I’m fine, more or less, so let’s just leave it at that

Rex- I still don’t like how this is happening more

Charmi- I agree and with this “Vagrant” business going around I think it’ll only get worse from here on out

Rex- Yeah I wish they would just capture that guy already or he could just turn himself in, saves us the trouble

Ray- *feeling guilty* C’mon guys maybe he’s just trying to live like we are

Charmi- Then he should just get a job instead of stealing from “the Conduct” and putting all of us in danger

Rex- Yeah, At least make an honest living instead of risking our necks in your benefit

(Ray looks down in defeat because he knew they were right)

(Ends on Ray’s defeated face)
