Colors ~ Volume 1

Season 1, Episode 22: Counting Thoughts

Eventually, my wishes were finally granted after an abundance of time that I couldn't ever keep track of.

I was waiting near the entrance until I saw three people walking side by side to the entrance. I was filled with an overflow of joy as I limped my way over obstacles like rubble and broken boxes. I used a stick I found that had come off the factory's rooftop to move towards the three people.

I soon found out it was Robert, Fron, and Jack who were walking towards the factory.

"Hey!" I shouted in a courteous manner.

"George! Mind helping us?" Jack asked me. He strode in with Fron in tow towards me.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked him.

"It seems like uh, he can't see. Robert can't hear for shit and I can't smell either." Jack replied.

"WHAT!?" Robert exclaimed, proving that he couldn't hear. Fron was speechless, as one should be if he figured out that he couldn't see, hopefully for now.

"That's horrible. Here, lemme help Fron inside the factory. Everyone else is here too, I believe so..." I said, distracted with Fron's safety.

"You're forgetting Aquafene and Angel dumbass," Fron stated. We entered the factory and went into the first room. I didn't know how Fron knew about them still being missing, but I didn't question it at the time.

I wish I had though.

"Oh yeah. Wow, how did I forget about them already?! Something must be wrong in my brain heh." I said.

"I think something's wrong with all of our brains. Let's head inside, I'll try to explain what I'm thinking there." Jack said. Robert let go of Fron's arms and helped him move forward. I carried Fron alongside Jack and Robert to the factory where Emily was ecstatic to see Jack and hugged him immediatel. Robert sat down exhausted and Fron walked aimlessly around the factory with Alice rushing to his aid.

"I didn't think I'd see y'all ever again!" Jack exclaimed in weary enjoyment.

"Me too man, me too," Maurice said, crouching next to Steve with a nauseous expression on her face. Peo was trying to warn her not to puke on her brother's face, yet she kept losing her balance and held onto the wall, barely able to say a full sentence. Meanwhile, Alice was leading Fron back into the factory as he nearly walked himself into a creature in the jungle that almost looked like a snake.

Almost.

I looked beyond the trees and saw a figure that walked up in a style of cheerful manner. I recognized this bright movement, sprung up from the floor, and limped with the stick I still had in my hands to the person walking to the factory.

Once I saw Angel and Aquafene talking with each other. I exclaimed,

"Angel!!"

She gasped and shouted,

"George!"

She dropped whatever she was holding before anything else and ran to me for a hug. As I hugged her back and Aquafene tried and failed to pick up what seemed like berries Angel dropped. Robert picked up the berries for her.

"Thanks, Rob. Can't use my arms right now nor my hands." Aquafene said. Robert didn't respond.

"Uh, Robert..?" She tried to ask him again.

"Don't try to speak with him. He can't hear for shit!" Jack teased. Aquafene understood and they both picked up the berries.

"HEY!" Everyone else shouted at him in unison.
