It's When We Meet Again

Chapter 4

"You do traps?"
What the heck is traps? Is it a bigger rock? No no. He doesn't even seem buff enough to throw a normal hunting rock.
"Yeah! I basically trick my prey into landing in a spot that makes them stuck, aka traps, and I can *killing noises* then cook them."

Woah he is talking a lot of gibberish but I'm intrigued by this "trap" he speaks of.

"Woah woah you're talking a lot of things I don't really get. One; what is aka? Two what is cook? And three I'm totally in."

His face lit up like when Sandy sees Thunks leg when I mentioned the last part.
It's kinda adorable.

"Really?!? Okay come on I can teach you what cooking is after I show you what a trap is. First we need to get the materials to set the trap up for the chickunas. What do they typically like to eat? Actually no I have a better idea! Come on!"

He grabs my hand and I instantly grew butterflies in my stomach..unless that was my morning snack coming up? I don't know but either way it feels good and I don't want this to ever end.
Wait.
He never told me what aka means *scoffs*.

<guys pov>
Someone actually listened to my crazy ideas and is actually in on it! Today really is going to be a exciting day.
After I set my trap up I really should introduce her to other concepts of things and show her what cooking is. I have a feeling she eats meats raw...
Anyways.
I grabbed her hand to a hidden spot where all the "chickunas" are at and may I say these are very questionable animals and I don't know how they are edible. I lived by the beach my whole life so I typically ate whatever was in the sea and when I started traveling I was mainly a fruit eater than anything else.

"Okay Belt find flowers and berries that would be good paint and I'll find the items to build with! Take my knife just in case"

Belt chitters and takes my knife and runs towards the gardens.

"Ummmm what are you doing exactly?" I turn to answer her but instantly lost my voice, she was so close and remember I have never been around girls especially girls around my age so this is a hard moment for me.

She smells like sweat and flowers and a hint of dust.
Any normal man would find the scent "interesting" but for some reason I enjoy her scent. Okay I'm just being a weirdo.

"Well I'm going to make a fake girl chickuna to lure in a real one into my trap and then we can cook it and eat."
She looks a little confused, I can tell by the way she turns her head slightly and raises a eyebrow.
"*sigh* come on I'll show you better than I can tell you."
After a while of looking for items and Belt coming back with berries to make the paint and one flower that will go nicely with the puppet.

Once I finished creating I showed Eep what it looks like. She's a very impatient person so far I have learned. She kept trying to sneak peeks and tackle my back to see but somehow some way I manage to keep her away from it.

"Ta-daaaa; behold the puppet of a female chickuna!"

"...."
"...."
"That's not going to work"
It felt like my heart shattered.
"What why" she didn't even let me try yet ouch.
"Because it doesn't smell like a chickuna"
"Well how can I mimic a scent of a animal I just found out existed"

"Easy, you have someone, *fake cough* me, that has lived with them all 17 years of my life. I'll be right back it may smell terrible though."

Before I could answer she had already ran off to find the "scent" for the puppet.
As time grew by I eventually climbed into the tree watching the sun slowly rise some more.

"I guess the people here don't wake up or leave their homes too early."

I hear Eep rustle from the grass and see her standing up with items in her hands and her face green. Wait. Why is her face GREEN?
