“What the- who is this?” A female voice asked.

“I don’t know.” A male voice replied.

“Whoever she is, she came out of nowhere...”

“... and she’s also pretty.”

“Really? Hey, do you know if she’s even alive?”

“Maybe? Why are you asking me?”

“Oh, she's waking up.”

“Already? Oh, man, I’m nervous. What should I say?”

“Calm down, you.”

The young female opened her eyes and looked around the area. As she rubbed her eyes, the girl looked up as two floating ball-like creatures appeared before her eyes. One was green with brown eyes, and the other was pink with red eyes and wore a matching bow on top.

The one with the red bow greeted the girl. “Welcome traveler—”

“Calm down, you.” The green one interrupted.

The pink ball glared back at the other, who looked confused as to the reason.

“Where am I? And what are you guys supposed to be?” The girl asked them.

“We could say the same about you.” The pink one replied. “But since you asked us first, I’ll let you in on the—”

“Oh, ho!” A boisterous voice interrupted the pink one. The floating creatures turned as a figure exited out of one of the purple domes.

“Clause? What are you doing out? You haven’t recovered yet.” The green one stated.

“But I’m feeling better,” Clause replied, “And besides, I can’t just ignore that noise from outside.”

“Well, that is true.”

“So what was that noise I just heard—?” The man started, but when he walked over to where they were, he gasped. “Oh, Bridget!”

“You know her?” The pink one asked.

“Why, yes, she’s at my school.”

“Oh...”

“What’s the matter? Can you not stand up?” Clause asked, extending his hand out. “You’ll catch a cold if you stay on the floor like that.”

“Yes, I’m aware, thanks.” Bridget picked herself up and brushed herself off. “I’m just shocked and speechless about this situation; that’s all.”

“I see; it is hard to stomach at first.”

“So, do you know what those things are?”

“What you’re looking at are creatures called Pilkon.” Clause explained, “They may be small, but they’re a pair of intelligent, dependable, and unique species.”

“My name is Akapin, a pleasure to see you.” The one with the bow introduced herself.

“And I’m Midoricha, pleased to meet you,” The green one greeted.

“So what brings you here, Bridget?”

“Me?” Bridget questioned. “I’m not sure myself...”

“Really?” Akapin asked.

“All I remember before passing out was getting into a fight with Troy...” Her voice faded, and she realized.

“Oh no, Troy...” Clause muttered in realization.

“Uh, you all right?”

“Come with us; we should discuss this inside. I’ll tell you everything I know and more!”
