Elliotto had stopped screaming, and was looking at me with a face of disgust. "Look. I have seen your photo in the newspaper." Their scales had started to turn back into skin, returning to their human form. They had taken their fingers out of Eli's ears. "Hey Eli can you give us a moment?" They nodded and walked back to the camp. "Okay so back to our little... situation. I'm sick of bribing people to keep my identity a secret so if this gets out I'm burning this place to the ground. I have seen your sea monster fo-"
"We prefer aquatica. Calling us sea monsters is extremely rude." They interrupted.
"Okay. I've seen your aquatica form in the newspaper, they're looking for you. There is a $3000 reward. I am human as far as most people here know, so I'll be able to tell them where to find you. But I can keep a secret. I've kept mine since I had to use this stupid body to find out where Dipper and Mabel were."
"Dipper and who?"
"Anyway. You won't tell and I won't tell." I said.
Elliotto seemed to think. "You won't hurt the kid will you? I've become rather attached."
I laughed. "Yeah I won't. They seem to have had that effect on me too." My hand was aflame with blue fire as I reached out my hand to shake with the kid. "Deal?"
"Uhm...yeah. Deal." They shook my hand and the flames dispersed. "So are you coming back to the camp?" I asked.
"Nah, I live on spooky island remember? I'll go back there." They waved at me and walked into the water, their scales returning. I sighed a breath of relief and saw that the sun was setting. So much for a human stuff day. I had only tried about 5 things today. I watched a movie, I was traumatised, I made another friend...I think...I made a sand-thing and I experienced un-fun pain. It wasn't ruined I guess. But I wanted to try at least 10 things. Well, that's okay. I am immortal after all, I have plenty of time. I teleported into my cabin, tripping over a frog that had found it's way in. I tapped it with my cane and it turned to stone, mid hop. I picked the frog up and David kicked my door "owie!" I stood up quickly, stiffening. David's eyes started to shine, as he spotted the frog. "Aww, who knew you were so good at stone carving! Thanks Bill." He took the frog out of my hands, smiling. "Oh! I forgot, I wanted to talk to you about something important. But not right now. At nighttime, when none of the kids are awake..." he then walked out, joyfully cradling the frog 'statue'. "Phew." I said. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a head peeking through the window. I really gotta board those up. Wouldn't want David or- "YOU'RE NOT HUMAN!?" My door swung open. I fell over, tripping on a bug that also turned to stone as I touched it. Shit. Maybe long legs was the wrong way to go. Gwen stood in the doorway, breathing heavily. I stood back up, dusting myself off. In a way I had the same problem Eli had. Except they tripped over themselves because they were too short. Mine was because I was too tall. "I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!" She jumped around the room as I sat on my bed. "I swear to me..." I groaned, 'facepalming'. Another human thing I did, and I didn't even know it! She grabbed onto my arms, super close to my face. It was an extremely uncomfortable situation. 
"YOU'RE NOT HUMAN, YOU TURNED THAT BUG TO STONE! That's so hot.." she said, her face turning red. I inched backwards, realising what was happening. "Y-you don't wanna get close! I will kill you!"
"Please do." I kicked her off me and she fell onto the floor with a thud.
"I DON'T EVEN LOOK LIKE THIS, I AM A TRIANGLE!"
"Huh?" Gwen looked confused. "A triangle?"
"I AM A LITERAL TRIANGLE YOU MONSTER!"
I let my physical form disappear, as I became my usual self. Gwen didn't seem to back off, so I felt my body turn to stone. I entered Gwens mind and destroyed the memory of this, and made her fall asleep so I could become 'human' again. Well I guess I had another experience to add to the roster. I was back in my yellow and black suit, with Gwen sleeping on the floor. I clicked my fingers, and she teleported back into her cabin. I shuddered, thinking about what could've happened if I hadn't done that. Humans are disgusting sometimes. I started floating and sat mid air. A champagne glass appeared, and I took a sip from the glowing green liquid inside. Ah, pure hate. Such a bitter but delicious taste. Kind of what David thinks of Max. I really didn't like the kid, little puke. But David wasn't particularly my favourite person either. He kept thinking of this blonde weirdo called Daniel. Gwen was definitely my least favourite here. If I had the ability to turn off my mind reading, I would. Because her thoughts are absolutely disgusting. I shuddered again, gagging. I took another sip from my glass, before it shattered and the pieces spontaneously combust into flames. I stood back onto the floor. I opened the door, seeing all of the kids in front of a wooden stage. It looked like the stage near the lake, except much much smaller. It had a red curtain leading to a small backstage area. Harrison and Eli were on stage as the rest of the children looked on. They clapped as Harrison bowed, Eli looking proud. They spotted me and waved. I waved back, standing next to a kid dressed as an elf. Nerris. "What's happening?" I asked. "Ugh, Harrison's doing his dumb magic tricks." I saw as he made a dove appear out of thin air. "They don't look too dumb to me."
