A Pleasant Garden

Chapter 4

It's been a few days since me and Kricketot went outside and I seen it cry. It's been sulking in my room ever since, I can't even get it to eat. It must be sad that it's in an unfamiliar region. I wonder what its life was like before we met.

I'm currently laying on the couch in the living room, continuing my book. In my peripheral vision I see Kricketot in the hallway, peeking over the wall. What is it trying to do? In my effort to figure out what was up with this bug, I dropped the book on my face.

"Ow!... what the heck." Worried that I might've started it, I close my book, put it down, and sat up with a sigh. "What do you want?..."

It's still cowered behind the wall. What can I do to get it to come out? "Do you want a tour of the house?..." It stepped out a little, I guess that means it agrees. I walked over to it and picked it up.

First I'm going to take it to the kitchen. "This is where we eat and make food... your's is kept here too. I don't think Mom will want you on the table..."

I walked in the direction of the hallway to show the rooms and bathroom. "You're staying in my room... This is my parents' room right here." I knocked a few times on the door. "I guess Mom is napping... Dad is allways at work, I'll introduce you to him later..."

"I'll show you the front of the house now... I don't think you were in the right mind to view it the last time we were out..." I walked over to the front door and opened it, the light of the sun blinding us both. "Gardening has been a hobby of mine ever since... something happened. I don't think our parents mind it either... I actually heard it's common for people to have a front garden in Galar..." I turned back towards the door and went inside.

"You've already seen the living room... I'm not sure what you're supposed to do here. There's a couch, a TV and some pictures..." It looked over to the shelves that have pictures.

Its focusing on... "That's my twin sibling... they're not here anymore..." It started to jump and squirm around in my arms, making lots of noise.

"DELEL DELELOLOL DELELOLOLOL!!!"

"What the, calm down..."

It fell out of my arms, but it got up again and kept jumping around.
