The Journey to the East The Journey to the Future The Journey to the End

Chapter 30

Hi everyone, again. I didn't update yesterday for it was the jolly holiday of Christmas. So uh, I'll update today. (Common sense, otherwise you wouldn't have seen this today.)

Wanwan's POV

So, things got complicated from there. 

I watched as Ling stared at me, into my eyes, even though my eyes didn't seem to be where they were supposed to be, they were at the chest area of this body, which I assume must be Natalia's. 

"Who are you?" He asked, while squinting his eyes. It was as if he was thinking of something, but I don't know what. 

"Uh... am I not Natalia? Babe, how could you not remember me?" Blegh, that came out weird. Like the part when I said 'bah-bae', or as most of you like to call it, babe. 

"I know it's you, but I see someone who isn't you, I mean, you get it," he sputtered, kind of flustered. 

"No, I don't get it, stop sputtering nonsense," I replied, trying to come up with what Natalia would say if her boyfriend thought she was possessed by some weird short girl. 

"Seriously, who are you, what are you doing in my girlfriend's body, and how the heck did you get in there?" He asked, three questions at one go. 

"Fine, since you asked like that. One, I am Natalia. Two, this is my body. Three, I don't know, maybe I slurped up ice cream with my soul in it," I replied. 

"Okay you little she-demon. Get out of her body and show yourself."

"I can't! I'm pretty much stuck in here, so now you are going to have to drag me around town. And you know, I'm just as curious as you. HOW THE HECK DID I GET INTO THIS BODY? I WASN'T EVEN DEAD IN THE FIRST PLACE. AND WHERE DID THE SOUL OF THIS BODY GO?" I screamed, frustrated at the fact that I am stuck in this god-awful, killing machine's body.

Meanwhile, the floor was quaking and you could hear someone yelling the lyrics of "Never gonna give you up" outside. 

"Quick! under the table!" The shopkeeper yelled from behind his counter. 

So we did. 

And I ended up hugging Ling and the table leg in between. 

We continued our conversation down there, and there was a need to yell. 

"SO, WHO ARE YOU, SOUL INSIDE NATALIA?"

"I'LL TELL YOU, AND YOU'D BETTER LISTEN UP."

"YES I'M LISTENING."

"WANWAN, THE GIRL WHOM YOU MET WHEN YOU WERE WAY YOUNGER."

"WANGWANG?"

"WITHOUT THE 'G', IF YOU SAID MY NAME WITH THE 'G', YOU'VE GOT IT WRONG."

"WANWAN?"

"YES, WANWAN."

"OH FINALLY. I'VE BEEN SEARCHING MY BRAIN FOR YOUR NAME EVER SINCE YOUR FACE POPPED UP IN FRONT OF ME. THANKS FOR THE ENLIGHTENMENT."

"WELCOME. NOW I'LL REPLACE YOUR NATALIA FOR AWHILE, I SHAN'T BEHAVE LIKE HER, FOR I HAVE NEARLY NO IDEA HOW SHE BEHAVES. I ONLY KNOW SHE KILLS MORE PEOPLE THAN SHE KNOWS."

"OKAY. I GUESS WE'VE REUNITED THEN?"

"YES. AND WAS IT JUST ME OR DID I SEE YOU IN A BLUE, FEATHERY OUTFIT WITH WHITE, PURPLISH HAIR?"

"NO, I SOMEHOW SAW IT TOO."

"WHA?"

"I THINK WE CAN STOP YELLING NOW."

"Oh, yes, right," I said, after a long period of screaming our lungs out at each other. God, me throat is hoarse. 

"I wonder what caused the earthquake," he said in that gentle voice that suits him more than his yelling. 

3rd Person's POV

Meanwhile...

"Baxia! Cut it out!" Chang'e said.

However, due to his extremely loud singing, he didn't hear anyone, nor did he see the little girl standing next to him. Chang'e being Chang'e, she magicked herself some earplugs, so she wouldn't go deaf. Being deaf temporarily is better than being deaf for life. 

"BAXIA! SHUT YOUR CLOWN ASS MOUTH UP!" She yelled. Even then, Baxia didn't stop. 

If you're wondering, how did Chang'e manage to stand next to Baxia without falling over, the answer is simple. 

She was gliding. 

Finally, Chang'e's little patience ran out, and she used her magic to freeze Baxia. 

She pulled out her earplugs, tossed it in the air and let it poof by itself, before sweeping her hands like she has done a job well.

That's the story of how the earthquake started, and ended. Find out what happens to the door who was frozen in the next chapter of Journey to the future!
