What a nice day it was... to be inside. And that's exactly what I was doing, stuck inside with broken ribs and legs that seem burnt beyond belief.

And since I was stuck inside I decided to study up on some quantum physics. I knew that I had another book somewhere on the subject and I hadn't read it yet. And it was a fairly short book, only 1,000 pages, I should be able to get it done by tonight.

Looking down to my burnt legs I frowned. I damn well knew I wasn't going to be able to walk over to my bookshelf, what what did I do? I still tried. Needless to say I shouldn't have done that.

"How the hell did you get on the floor?" My blond headed housemate asked after I had been on the floor for five minutes.

"I was trying to reach a book the shelf over there..." I said as he helped me back up into my chair. The sound of papers being shuffled through and I looked over to see the blond haired amnesiac reading my journal.


I frowned, I thought this guy had figured out that I didn't want him touching my Journals "How many times do I have to tell yo-" He interrupted my sentence, not seeming to hear me. "You have named so many creatures and oddities in this book..." he let out a small chuckle and shut the book.


"I was figuring...since I don't have a name, or because I don't remember mine now, maybe you could give me a one? It's not anything permanent, but it would be nice to refer to me as something." I cocked an eyebrow at the man's idea, he wanted me to give him a name?


"Are you sure?...I guess I could try... What would be something that would suit you? It should be short due to your...amnesia problem. Any ideas that you had in mind?" He scratched his chin for a second and then shrugged "I don't know. I thought that you may have had something in mind due to all of the 'interesting' names you have given your documented creatures."


"What do you mean by that?" I glared. "Some of these names are a bit...over the edge, I guess you could say." He grinned, knowing that he was hitting a nerve point with me. "Ok so then we need a really, really short name for you; since you seem to dislike my taste in names". He flipped through the pages of my book looking for a more 'down to earth' name that he thought was suitable. "Hey how about this?" He said pointing to a page in my journal. It seemed to be that he happened to be pointing to the letter B...


"B?" I questioned him, it seemed a bit odd to be honest. But I guess that's what I got for telling him to pick a short name.

"He looked at me and smirked "Yah, it's short, not hard to remember and it literally has one letter to the whole name".

"Its sounds suiting now that I think of it." I looked to his face, which seemed to be a bit to excited about getting a name.

"B... I think I can get used to that"
