"Thol, can I jutht put the necklathe back on?" I say after he carries me around for about an hour. "You look pretty tired." "I gueth tho." A flicker of relief went across his face, then disappeared. I put it back on, and fell down again. "Goddammit!" "You ok?" "I'm fine."  To be honest, I liked my necklace mode. Walking was nice. As we went on, things started looking more and more familiar. Soon I was ahead of Sollux and I was standing in front of our old home. Before I could even take a step inside, I was on the ground yet again, but this time, there was something heavy on me. Evidently I'd been tackle-pounced. Whoever tackled me picked me up and started yelling, "Daddaddaddaddadlookitwhat Ifound!" Wait a minute. Only one being on the planet could talk that fast. "Mituna?" He didn't hear me. "Mituna!" Still nothing. "MITUNA!!" Third time's a charm. He finally looked down at me with a how-do-you-know-my-name face and spotted Sollux. "Thol it knowth my name!" "That'th becauthe it ith a the and the ith Cath." "Wait thith ith Cath?!" I gave him my are-you-kidding-me look and said "No of course not OF COURSE ITS ME!" Note to self: when you go missing for 9 years, don't let yourself get squeezed to death by Mituna. After that happened, he put me down and looked at me. "Are you thure thith ith her?" "Yeth it'th her." "The doeth'nt look like her." "Trutht me, it'th her." This soon became an all out argument with both of them shouting at each other. "WHAT ith going on out here?!" The voice was so loud I jumped and let out a little yelp. I looked up to see who it belonged to. This was actually kinda hard, given that he was two and a half feet taller than me. He stormed over to the boys and separated them. "What are you fighting about?" Mit answered first. "Thol thays that the's Cath, but I'm not tho thure." The newcomer whipped around and knocked me off me feet. "CAN I STAY ON MY FEET FOR FIVE MINUTES PLEASE!" I felt my self being dragged by the ankle and I was level with him, if you count hanging upside down level. "Are you?" He asked in a menacing tone. "Yes." Yeah I expected that. He didn't believe me. "Look I've got this to prove it." I said as I took out the necklace. His grip on me suddenly loosened and I was pulled into a tight hug. "For Gods sake stop squeezing me you're gonna break my ribs!" I protested. "Thut up and let me hug you." He shot back. He let me go, though. He led me through our house and stopped at my room. "I gueth you can have thith back, now that you've returned." He said before leaving me alone. God it felt good to be back in my room. All of my paintings were still on the walls and as were my bookshelves. I took out a book and began to read it. It was written in my old language, but it started coming back to me. After an hour or so of this, I got bored and decided to walk around a bit. As I got to the den, something that smelled of iron hit my nose. Oh yeah, it was dinner. Dad dragged in a deer he'd killed earlier and began to ration it out between the four of us. I don't remember the last time I had raw meat, and I doubt I could handle it either way. Suddenly I had an idea. "Imma be right back." I told them. They gave me a quizzical look as I gathered some stones and twigs from outside and came back inside. In no time at all, I had made a fire pit with a crackling flame. I tried to remember how Jake taught me to cook over a campfire. It came easy, and it was perfect by my standards. As I began eating, I noticed the other three giving me weird looks. "What?" I asked between bites. Sollux questioningly looked at me. "Why are you cooking your food?" "Well, given the fact that I haven't eaten raw meat in 9 years, I haven't grown accustomed to it like you have. I wouldn't be able to handle it like you three, one way or the other. Secondly, I think it tastes better this way." I stated matter-of-factly. "Oh."

"G'night guys." I said before heading off to my old room. I was tired from the day and I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
