Boom, boom, boom!

"O-ow!"

A figure could be seen inside a hole, banging back and forth on the hole tight inside. Dirt fell on the figure's hair and body as they collided with the walls. They seemed highly annoyed by the pain, and their faces got hotter from the repeated blows.

"Arghh!" Klaus angrily curled his fist and began to hit the hole's edges.

"This tight ass hole! Why didn't–ow!" His complaining was silenced by a blow to the head straight from the pit. He sniffled as he rubbed his head in sadness.

"Damn this hole…" Klaus thought, finally accepting the pain.

"Is that…wait."

A light appeared at the bottom of the hole. It covered a sliver of Klaus's face as it ran up the hole, eventually stopping when it reached the top. As it did, the wind began to blow fiercely, blowing Klaus's hair up and slowing him down. A fresh smell invaded as he widened his eyes.

"What the hell?! I-I'm–" Klaus stopped his thought.

Slip…pop!

"I'm falling!!! AHHHH!!!" Klaus desperately flapped his arms, dirt from the hole following suit. Klaus looked up frantically, only to find the hole gone, replaced by a vast expanse of clouds—thick and white, stretching endlessly above him. The sky unfolded in two contrasting scenes: one side cloaked in darkness, the other basking in light; perhaps it was just his eyes tricking him. They darted everywhere, searching for where he escaped; it wasn't found.

"So weird!" Klaus thought, noticing the missing hole and the split sky. He looked around momentarily before going back to his thoughts.

"Ah, wait, I have bigger fish to fry." Adrenaline started to kick in as he looked down at his desperate situation. His clothes flapped and his vision blurred as his speed spiraled.

"I'm toast."

Klaus nervously smiled; he had no time to spare. Whistling blew past his ears, rapidly increasing, reaffirming his situation. His lips began to spread from the ever-increasing wind. The ground became more apparent as he approached it, his eyes desperately looking for a solution.

"Well, I'll be damned," Klaus thought as it became clear he was going to splatter against the grass like a pancake. He looked around, searching for perhaps what could be his final entertainment, but he was to no avail. He solemnly gazed at the ground, now noticing the bees and flowers that stood. He closed his eyes and then–

"Now!" A female voice shattered the whistling.

Boing!

Klaus slowly opened his eyes to see himself hanging mere inches from the ground. His eyes fluttered open and shut as he began understanding what had just happened. He remained motionless in shock before a bee buzzed to his nose. It landed on its tip, leisurely walking in circles. Klaus focused on the bee before turning his gaze down to the ground.

"Woah…" He thought as he peered through a square hole at the grass below. Sunflowers and red daisies swayed softly, bugs crawling beneath them. The bee buzzed away as he inhaled deeply, taking in the sweet aroma of the flowers around.

Clomp, clomp…

"I save your life, and this is the first thing you think of?"

"Hmm?" Klaus looked up and saw a female with short black hair standing before him. She held her hands on her hips as if she was offended. She turned her head and said, "Well?"

Klaus gazed at her momentarily, his face squished against the net, before remembering his awkward position. He hurriedly attempted to sit up but fell backward due to the imbalance of the net. Accepting his embarrassment, he relaxed on his back and sighed.

"Mmph!" Klaus flinched as a face popped up right above him, its long golden hair touching the edge of his face.

"Why are you so dirty?" the face asked, turning their head back and forth with each word.

Klaus squinted and said, "Why is your voice so high-pitched?"

The face flew closer to him and said, "Well, maybe because I'm a kid!"

The face flew back, escaping Klaus's view, and stomped away.

"Sheesh. Can't catch a break, can I?" Klaus muttered, sitting up and shaking his head to dislodge the dirt clinging to it.

"Relaxed, aren't you?" The female with the short black hair from before leisurely walked to him.

Klaus put his hand over his forehead and said, "And who are you?"

The female chuckled and looked him up and down before meeting his eyes.

She slowly pinched her nose and yelled, "What makes you think I would tell you?! You stink!"

Klaus stared at her wide-eyed for a few seconds before sarcastically burying his hands in his face. He spread one finger to peer at her as he said, "It's kinda hard to not stink when you can't really shower." She gazed at him disgustingly.

Klaus thought for a moment. "Wait, then how does Emma do it?!" He smacked his palm against his forehead and fell back down.

Cra-crack!

"Oof!" Klaus groaned, scratching his head as he glanced up at the broken net dangling just inches above him. He sighed, standing up and looking at the female who had been talking to him. Her eyes widened with horror, and her mouth trembled.

"Y-you!! Broke the net…" Her voice dropped, seemingly accepting what had just happened instead of ridiculing Klaus for it.

"Sorry about that," Klaus apologized and walked towards her with his hand out.

"N-no, get away from me," the female walked backward as he approached her.

Klaus paused and glared at her before saying, "Do I stink that bad?"

Her eyes bolted around as she fidgeted with her fingers. After a moment, she finally said, "T-take a shower, and then we can talk."

Klaus's face brightened with extreme excitement as he said, "Really?!" His hair waggled back and forth.

The female winced before muttering, "Yeah…"

"Yay!!! A shower!! At last!" Klaus raised his arms ran to walk beside her.

"H-hey, that doesn't mean you get to walk near me!!" She jumped back and began to run, but so did Klaus.

"N-no, stay away!! Eek!" She covered her face and sprinted away, screaming. Klaus followed suit, giggling with both excitement and amusement.
