PaRappa's Hat Ties

Seeing isn't believing

When PaRappa woke up the next morning something kept tickling his nose. It irritated him so much that he ended up sneezing awake. To his surprise it was hair. He was back completely now, but with the addition of some thick blonde hair. PaRappa went right back to trying to remember what happened in his dream that night. It had been quite a while since the dream had taken place in his mind, so it was a little difficult to put it back together. He did get all of the important parts.

PJ on the other hand remembered everything about all of his dreams. When he woke up in the middle of the night he had practically danced with joy to what he had just experienced. He then went back to sleep immediately and tried to find PaRappa again. Unfortunately he had no luck. The entire kingdom looked but they never found their dear friend PaRappa.

The connection created by Brent had been broken when he woke up. In the back of PJ's mind he thought he was delusional, and that the friend he had found in a dream was nothing more than a hope manifested into a character by his own brain. He really just wanted to hold on to that hope, even if it meant that later his hope could be crushed into another empty depression. He wanted to keep it for as long as he could.

When he woke up the next morning he was reminded of something that PaRappa had said, "I'm, Putt, not PaRappa. You've got me confused with someone else,"

That was a little worrisome. Had he still been troubled with memory loss? PaRappa had been dealing with it before. It made the evidence that PaRappa was back even more true. He was back for sure, and lost. PJ couldn't just sit there and do nothing. So he called Matt.

"MATT!" PJ shouted.

"*yawn* sorry, what?" Matt said, woken up by PJ's call.

"PaRappa's ALIVE!!!" He said enthusiastically.

"Don't joke about that PJ, that's just, You shouldn't be kidding about that," Matt said.

"No! I mean it! We need to go find him!"

"What? How do you know he's alive?" Matt was very skeptical, also sleepy.

"Because he was never gonna die in the first place!" PJ started to doubt himself, but he choose not to show it.

"Wat, But he said-"

"Forget about what he said- PaRappa's a liar. He was turning into a dog-" Matt hung up. PJ felt like an idiot. He also sorta felt like the evidence that he had for PaRappa being alive was in no way real proof. What if he was wrong and got everyone's hopes up and he turned out to be false? That would probably be the worst feeling.

He had to start packing for his trip to HaHa land... eventually. He had gotten free tickets from Sunny Funny, as she worked there as a gardener for the summer. Matt, Paula and Katy had also gotten free tickets. They were going in about a week.

With the new PaRappa situation PJ didn't want to leave. He felt that if he left PaRappa would surely get even more lost than ever before. He felt that he would be even farther away from PaRappa.

Matt on the other end of the spectrum had gone back to sleep a little angry at PJ for trying to tell him such an obvious lie.  Asleep he found Brent.

"Hello," Brent said with an evil smile. They were standing in another black void.

"What?"

"THAT'S NUMBER 4!" Brent said. Suddenly a giant number 4 fell from the sky. Matt gasped as his eyes cartoonily bulged from his head before he got flattened by it. He was now Joe Chin. Matt fell on his knees.

"Whyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" He shouted. (because you refuse to accept strange things as your norm, so you will forever be cursed by random horrible events that you can't understand.)
