The Misfortunes of Ervy (M.O.E.)

Ervy and Mr. Kayaba's "Date"

Ervy stared up at the immaculate white ceiling as he reinstated for the umpteenth time, "I was not traumatized in any way whatsoever."

Guess where he was?

It's no other than the psychiatrist's clinic!

His worried parents thought that he needed counseling, especially with what had happened (the plant fiasco) during the past week.

Ervy wasn't broken, oh no. I guess shaken is a more appropriate term. But he could not just deny his parents' request. So, he was forced to go consult a psychiatrist, who turned out to be more of a loony than Ervy ever was.

The psychiatrist had introduced himself as Dr. Steven United.

At first, everything had turned out to be quite normal. Dr. Steven asked him questions a doctor like him would normally inquire.

Things started getting weird when Ervy refused to answer in more than one sentence.

The doctor thought it was a sign of stubbornness and being uncooperative, so he thought of a way to get Ervy open up to him, by "opening" himself up to Ervy.

"Do you want to know a secret, boy?" Dr. Steven had quipped, to which Ervy politely responded with a slight nod. "There's actually a secret behind my name. If you turn Steven backwards, you will get Nevets, which is quite ironic because it resembles the sound frogs make. You know, Ribbit?" The psychiatrist laughed to himself as he leaned back on his swivel chair, and propped his feet up the table separating him and Ervy. "The bottom line is, I'm actually a full-time frog masquerading as a human psychiatrist."

Dr. Steven then leaned closer to Ervy, and studied him with those calculating brown eyes of his. "So if you've got a secret, mind lightening the load? You can count on me not to tell anyone." He winked.

On the other hand, Ervy eyed the potted palmeras sitting on one corner of the room. He would have loved to smash them on the doctor's face using his wind, but he thought better of it.

Remember "Ervy and the Seed"? Well, he survived the catastrophe, but that didn't mean that he escaped the "transformation".

Yup, you read it right! Ervy is now a full-fledged fairy of the wind! He didn't get a gay outfit (awwww...) but he still got green pixie wings and green streaks on the rat's nest he calls his hair. Apart from that, he also gained the ability to manipulate the wind. (He secretly practices his wind magic because deep inside, he finds it cool. but he would never openly admit that being a fairy did have its perks!)

He would have really liked to test his newly-acquired powers out in the open, but he knew that Mr. Kayaba would be able to track him if he did. He barely managed to flee from the clutches of that deranged man (if you could even call him one). For now, he would very much appreciate the dude's absence in his life.

So, he was stuck with the doctor perpetually asking if he was traumatized.

He answered with a "No.", a "Nooo." and a "No!"

Dr. Steven wiggled his eyebrows at the creeped-out Ervy, and said, "You have a crush on that Kayaba guy?"

That did it. Ervy slid out of his seat and slammed the door to the clinic room. As he was leaving, he faintly heard Dr. Steven shouting, "Come back soon, Mr. Tortillas!"

"Not while I'm alive." Ervy irately muttered to himself.

Ervy smiled as he gathered his textbooks and placed them neatly on his satchel. His last period had just ended, and he was more than eager to go home, instead of listen to teachers doting on him and asking if he needed help with his missed requirements.
