Dino woke up feeling hungry and thirsty. He was surprised he didn't feel hungry or thirsty for the past 7 days, then again, he didn't do much besides lay around, observe the stars, and bother mado to wake up. Dino wondered how he was gonna find food or water in space. There seemed to be nothing here besides him, mado, planets, and stars.
Then he looked at the moon and it had gotten closer. Mado would probably get near the moon at some point today. But then Dino realized something. The moon might be the only place around him that has food and water. Dino was starving and dehydrated, but the idea of abandoning mado sounded absurd.
But then he realized that wouldn't be an issue because the way it looked, mado was on a direct path to crashing into the moon! No no no, not again! Dino tried to wake Mado up with as much force as he could. Dino didn't care about hurting Mado anymore if he hit too hard. There were so many lives at stake right now. Mado punched, stomped, and jumped up and down as much as he could but mado still wouldn't wake up. Dino couldn't believe it, he just found more possible creatures in space, and they were all about to die! There was nothing Dino could do to stop this.
As mado got closer to the moon they sped up. It was like the moon was pulling mado towards it, and at the same time it felt like mado was pulling the moon. The closer mado got to the moon the slower he seemed to go, but Mado was soon going to collide with the moon, so dino standed on the opposite side of the one that was going to ram into the moon and closed his eyes. He didn't want to see the horrors that were about to unfold.
BOOM
Mado collided with the moon, and this time they didn't bounce off. Dino turned around expecting the worst but when he turned around it was strange. Mado had hit the moon, but the moon looked fine. Mado was just staying attached to the moon's surface, or the moon was attached to Mados' surface, because when mado hit the moon, the moon started moving with mado. Mado gave the moon a push when they collided, and dino noticed something. Mado was moving away from the earth for the first time. For the past 7 days mado had been moving to the left but staying at the same distance, but now mado was moving away from the earth.
But now that mado had collided with the moon and neither mado or the creatures on the moon got hurt, all his problems were solved! Dino hopped off of mado, patted them, and checked if they were okay after the collision. Mado seemed fine, but they didn't act like a rock, instead of crumbling after the collision like dino thought would happen, Mado didn't even have a crack on them, and they molded to look like just a hill on the moon. Even like this, Mado still felt like a rock though.
Dino finally started on his adventure to the moon. The moon was fun, when dino jumped off of mado instead of falling down fast in the ground dino lightly floated down. Every time dino jumped he lifted off of the ground slowly, and slowly went back down as well. It felt nice. There were also a bunch of craters on the moon floor that looked just like mados but a lot bigger. Before dino started walking around on his adventure he wanted to try and make sure he could find mado again if he got lost. So, he started doing what he did best. He started digging up moon rocks and stacking them on top of mado. Moon rocks were a lot harder to dig than earth dirt but after a while mado had enough rocks stacked on mado to see them from a mile away.
So now dino started walking around on his adventure to find other signs of life. Dino just walked around aimlessly for what felt like hours, constantly checking behind him to see if he could still see mado.
After a while Dino saw something glowing in the distance. Dino walked closer and saw a town! It was a big town with tall, skinny stone pillars that were hollowed out on the inside with lights inside of them. They looked just like the huts on earth but bigger.
And then he saw them. Other creatures! Finally, dino had more people to be around! They came in all shapes, colors, and sizes. They were small, big, green, and purple.
Dino ran up to the town. He was so hungry, thirsty, and tired. He wanted food, water, and a place to sleep besides mados holes which may or may not be his eyes. As he entered the town, the creatures there didn't even bat an eye. They were all so used to seeing so many different types of creatures. Dino didn't look any weirder than the rest of them. There's no way they would run away in fear like the dinosaurs on earth did. There were aliens there who were more terrifying than him. But then he remembered the other reason he never made friends. He can't talk. How was he gonna tell these creatures everything that just happened and that he needed help if he couldn't talk? He could just use gestures or try and figure everything out on his own.
Y'know what yea, he was gonna try and figure everything out on his own. He can try and make friends later. Right now, the most important things are food and water. He searched the town for a place to find food. Maybe someone was selling food and water. Dino remembered that some dinosaurs did that on earth. Even though most dinosaurs just got their own food and water, which was much more fun. Dino walked through the town and eventually found a place that had a chunk of meat on their logo. Finally! He found a place with at least food! Dino went closer to the place and could smell meat, and it smelled great. It might have just been because dino hasn't eaten in 8 days. He walked in and saw a big chunk of meat spinning over… fire!? What a strange thing. Heating up meat? Dino had never thought of it before, then again before mado crashed into the earth dino never knew what fire was.
There was a creature standing next to it, spinning around a stick attached to the meat that made the meat spin over the fire. They were tall and skinny, with yellow skin that had orange dots in it. They were wearing a strange black hat that drooped back at the top and a lot of black clothes in general. Dino walked up to where the meat and the creature were and pointed at the meat.
“That cost 8 coins sir,” said the creature in a kind of low-pitched voice. Dino didn't have any coins, whatever those were, so he tried to gesture that he had no money. “I'm terrible at charades, I have no clue what you're trying to say,” said the man. Dino tried to dig in the floor to write that he had no money, but the floor was made of a hard black stone. Dino couldn't even make a scratch in it. “Why are you trying to destroy my floor?!” dino couldn't explain to him why. Dino tried to find another surface to dig into. He then thought of carving what he was trying to say into the wall. The wall looked like a less tough material. It was just regular space rock. “DON'T SCRATCH THE WALLS TOO!!!!” so dino stopped doing that. Dino was all out of ideas. So, he left the store in defeat.

How was Dino gonna get anything done if he couldn't talk to anyone, plus digging in the floor or wall didn't work since the creatures here get mad at you for doing that. He wandered around in town searching for a random body of water to drink out of. if he couldn't find food and be peaceful at the same time he could use his regular method of murder, but these creatures looked way too evolved. They looked even more evolved then dino.
As Dino was walking, he found a strange looking object. It was a black and white tube looking thing. It said the word marker on it, and when dino pulled on the top of it the top part came off, revealing a smaller tip that felt wet, but when dino looked at his hand after touching the wet tip it had a black spot on it. Dino touched it again, and the black spot appeared again, then dino tried to rub the tip on his skin and a black line appeared. Dino rubbed the thing on the floor, and it started to create lines. Dino could write with this! And draw! Dino ran back to the meat store to test out his new method.
Dino walked into the meat store and started writing on the floor, but the floor was the same color as the lines, so Dino wrote on the wall everything that happened to him:
“Hello, I can't talk so I'm writing this down on your wall, sorry. Anyways this might sound crazy, but I came from a planet called earth on a giant rock named mado that looked like your planet. You may have noticed mado crash into your planet, don't worry I don't think any damage has been done to your planet. Anyways I'm starving and thirsty can i please get food and water. I don't have any coins; I don't even know what a coin is.”
“...what drugs are you on… and where can I find them” said the man “well i did feel a slight shake in the ground earlier, but that could have been anything! You're not gonna get free meat for telling an absolutely absurd story! Why does the rock even have a name, it's not alive.” then dino wrote “mado is alive, they just look like a giant rock. They also might be blind and that's why they crashed into your planet.” “Look, if you really are someone from another planet then that's something you talk about with our ruler, Voczik.” he said as he pointed outside the shop “since you're apparently from another planet the ruler is in the big building all the way down this street.” “What's a building?” dino wrote. The man sighed and said “y'know… the thing you're standing in right now… The things I'm assuming you walked by to get here.” dino now understood what the man meant.
“By the way we have free water over there.” he said as he pointed to a box full of ice with strange looking containers that had a liquid inside, and that liquid was WATER! Finally, dino got water! Dino ripped through the casing and poured the water into his mouth. He drank almost half of the water containers in there before the man stopped him “you can't have all the water! Theres other customers who also want a drink!” dino didn't need any more water anyway but he knew who did, mado. Dino wrote “I need to bring some water to mado as well. they're also thirsty, probably even more thirsty than I am.” “omg you're not giving water to your sentient space rock” the man said with air quotes when saying sentient space rock. Dino wrote “please they need the water more than I do. They might die without it!” the man sighed “fine but you're only taking 1 bottle… well actually you can take 2. If a sentient space rock does exist, then the bare minimum amount of water they could use to survive for a while is probably 2.” dino wrote “thank you so much!” and ran off to give mado the water.
dino finally got back to mado after walking, again, for what felt like all day. Dino tried to figure out how to give Mado the water. Maybe one of Mados' holes was their mouth. Dino poured a little water into one of Mados' holes. Nothing happened. He poured a little bit of water into each hole on mado and still nothing happened. Then dino tried just watering mado like a plant. Nothing happened. All of the water that dino put on mado just slid off or turned into mini lakes in mados holes. Dino was confused. Did mado not have to drink or eat to survive. Would that explain why mado was able to travel around space for who knows how long and not be dead by now. Mado still felt warm. Dino could feel the living energy inside of them.
With that, Mado didn't know what else to do. He couldn't get food for him and mado until he talked to the ruler. They already got water. Now the last thing on his list was a place to sleep. Dino was getting tired of sleeping on Mados' hard and rigid surface. It wasn't comfortable at all. Dino got an idea, what if he tried to convince the meat guy to let him sleep there, they probably have much more comfortable places to sleep. Dino felt bad abandoning Mado though. they had been through so much together. He couldn't just abandon mado like that. So dino climbed on top of mado and did what he liked to do most. Star gaze, observe. Honestly there wasn't much to look at. They were moving away from all the other planets that dino could see. They were moving away from earth… earth looked so sad now. It was a ball of ice not even the powerful sun could thaw. There was no way any living thing could survive there.
After a little while mado tried to sleep on mado. Dino tossed and turned, tried to find the most comfortable hole, and tried to sleep just next to mado. Nothing worked. He couldn't sleep, but he knew somewhere he could. Dino walked all the way back to the town and to the meat shop and then pulled out his writing contraption. “Oh god what are you doing back here? Were two bottles of water not enough for your sentient space rock!” dino wrote “the sentient space rock's name is mado and actually 2 bottles of water were more than enough. Now that I tested that out I don't think mado needs to drink to survive” "omfg I gave you two extra waters for nothing. You probably drank them for yourself didn't you!” said the meat guy. “No i gave it all to mado” dino wrote “oh great you WASTED two bottles of water.” said the meat guy. “Anyways this isn't the reason I'm here, sleeping on mado isn't really that comfortable, so can I sleep here instead?” dino wrote. “No, you can go sleep with your sentient space rock.” “Please, I can't sleep, and I want to sleep somewhere comfortable.” wrote dino. The meat guy sighed “fine you can stay for one night but under some conditions.” dino nodded excitedly. “Wait wait wait, I haven't said the conditions yet. 1 you clean up all of the writing you're putting on the wall. 2 you DO NOT touch any of the meat, I swear to God if I find a single chunk of meat gone, I'm hunting you down and selling your meat, understand” dino nodded even more excitedly. “Alright then I guess you can stay.”
Dino jumped up and down and ran around trying to find a comfortable spot to sleep. Dino decided to sleep next to the fire. It was nice and warm. “No, you dumbass you're sleeping upstairs, in the house part of the meat shop.” said the meat guy as he pointed to a set of stairs. Dino climbed up the stairs to find what looked like a fancy den. As he entered the den he saw a bunch of comfy looking things. There was a circle of fur on the floor next to a box that was hallowed out. The box had wood in it and there was this black powder all over it. The meat man followed behind dino and said, “the thing you just rolled on is called a rug and the box you're staring at is a fireplace, you want me to light it?” dino nodded, he didn't know what a fireplace did, but he wanted to find out. The meat man walked into another room, dino followed and they entered a room made out of cold stone slabs that covered the floor and had tables next to the wall, wrapping around almost the entire wall. This place also had a lot of food. The meat man pulled on a slab of stone that came out of the wall tables and pulled a long stick looking thing. The meat man walked back to the first room and to the fireplace and threw in some small black stones, then he put the stick next to the stones and pressed down on a button in the stick, Then the stones lit up and there was fire! Dino was amazed. “Well anyways I'm gonna go back downstairs to man the shop. At this point I should probably tell you my name, my name's zort. What's your name?” “dino” wrote dino. “Well dino, if you need anything just go downstairs.” and with that zort left the den.
Dino also saw a puffy long seat. He noticed that he could take out the puffy part of the seat, so Dino took off one of the puffy things and put it on the floor next to the fireplace. It was so comfortable; Dino fell asleep almost immediately.
