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

Chapter 37

Hai, I just got back from school earlier on. I have a little bit of homework but as we progress through the years I'm sure it's going to get a heck load more. So please bear with me if I'm unable to update on that day. Okay I'll do this while doing me HW. By the way, if any of you here happen to know a free and safe software to use to make 8d music, please tell me. Not Kinemaster, for mine doesn't have the compress option. Thanks in advance!

Day 4 Part 1

Wanwan's POV

I got up this morning, feeling a sickly feeling in my gut. Something wasn't right. I hopped out of bed and checked the time, it was past 10:10 a.m. 

Heck how did I sleep that long? 

I changed and ran down to the ice cream parlour, completely forgetting to pee, brush my teeth, eat breakfast... Well, maybe I did pee, and brush my teeth. But I most definitely did not eat my most important meal of the day. 

And when I came down to find that no one was standing there, my blood veins nearly burst open. 

I skipped the most important meal of the day to come face to face with nothingness. Amazing. 

Just as I turned around to storm back off to Natalia's apartment and hide there until I need to come out, someone jumped out in front of me, grabbed me by the hand, and started to drag me down the alley. That kind of freaked me out, but knowing it was Ling, I just let myself get dragged. 

"What do you want, boy?" I said, while continuing to get tugged down to the depths of the alleyway. 

"Talk here, we don't want people to overhear us," he replied once we got to a dead end. 

"Okay, so what are you going to talk about and why must it be so secretive?" I asked, out of, you know, curiosity? 

"I've made up my mind, I'm–" 

"~NEVER GONNA GIVE YOU UP!~" sang a voice that could only be from one person, or hamburger– Tinkle Bells. 

"WHAT YOU SAY? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" I screamed, even though we were right next to each other. 

"WHAT?" 

"I CAN'T HEAR YOU!"

"OH. YOU CAN'T HEAR ME. OKAY. I SAID THAT I'M–"

"~NEVER GONNA LET YOU DOWN!~" Tinkle Bells sang louder than he just did, overlapping Ling's desperate shouting once again. Jeez, this peeing metal creations has more than excellent timing. 

Well, this does remind me of the time we hid under the table, also due to someone singing this song (A/N: Like when you find someone very familiar, yet you don't know that the person whom you find familiar is just that person, if you get what I mean.) 

Anyways, after he stopped singing for a moment, we continued to yell, partly due to the fact that we don't know whether the other person you're talking to has gone deaf from the extremely loud, off-key singing. 

"WOAH!" I screamed as I lost my balance when the floor started to rumble and grumble and break down into tiny little pieces. The breaking into tiny pieces didn't actually happen but okay, it could, am I right? 

Just as I thought that I would have to use Natalia's body to have a nice feel of the slightly acidic alleyway ground, someone caught me. 

Of course, that someone would be the only other person who's here. 

Ling. 

Thank god for his quick reflexes or the acid would probably eat away my skin, layer, by layer, by layer. 

I looked at him, his fringe dangling, some sticking onto his face. His eyes looked like they were searching mine, searching my soul for my deepest desires, for my most desperate wishes, for my most sorrowful sorrows. 

For that brief moment when our eyes locked, wonders happened. I could somehow look into his soul, and find out what he's been trying to tell me. 

By the time I did, we both came back to our senses and looked away. I could feel my face heating up, and so I got up from Ling's arms. 

I cleared my throat and swept dust off my clothing. 

"So uh, what do you want to do now?" I asked. 

"Karaoke."
