Morro's POV:

After the last bell rang, I floated over to the park. And by float, I mean I bend my legs up and let myself drift over to where I want to go. I usually don't walk.

You might think that I'll get fat, but I'm dead, so I can't eat, lose or gain weight.

I wanted to get to the park first, so I got help from my wind powers.

+++++++++++++++

I finally got here. I looked around, Meadow's not here yet. I heard a rustle from a nearby bush and crept towards it.

I pushed them aside and got knocked over by something that had jumped on me.

I looked at my chest and saw a small kitten. It was black and had multi colored eyes one was blue and the other green.

I mostly noticed the moon on its forehead though.

It climbed closer to my face and I flinch, it's whiskers tickled me.

Before I knew it, I couldn't keep myself from laughing. A real laugh.

"S-stop it!" I tried saying through all my laughter.

I've always had a love for small animals, but with my figure, it was hard to believe. If that's not true, animals are always trying to come to me. One minute I'm napping, the next, I'm covered in these small creatures.

I heard a click from a phone or something like it was a picture. Oh snap! (no pun intended)

I looked towards the bushes and saw Meadow holding up a silver and white phone(Zane's phone).

The cat jumped off and ran to her. I quickly stood up.

"I didn't know you liked cats, Morro." She smirked at me.

"Uh, w-well......." I stuttered and blushed. She giggled.

"Well, at the picture came out good." I was blushing even more now when she showed me it.

"It was tickling me!" I countered.

"So you're ticklish, huh?" Meadow said before she attacked me with tickles.

I tried to undo my solid form but I couldn't with all my laughter. Before I passed out, she stopped.

"That's what you get for turning me into a hybrid." She smiled.

"Ok, fun's over. I came here to talk seriously." She instantly became quiet and listened to me. That's one of the reasons why I can talk to her, she's a good listener.......

"Look, there's something important I need to talk to you about. And please don't take it personally, but, well...."

"Yes?"

"I-I'm jealous of you! There I finally got to say it!"

"Why?" That wasn't the response I was looking for.

"Well, you're always so, so, so......cheerful! I like everything about you, your personality, your smile, it follows everywhere you go, it would stop a hurricane if it could! You have such good friends and they're always at your side to protect you. I'm always alone. I just wish I could be like you and.....and well, I'm sorry for being such a jerk! I don't know how to act around other people, and I'm dead, so I'm automatically the weird, scary one! I just want to have  people that care about me and I just really want to be friends with you........" If I could cry, I would, but then I'd die......

"I-I'm sorry.......I never knew." She actually looked sorry for me. I slid down to my knees and sighed. The cat put a paw to my leg. I petted it. Meadow sat down in front of me.

"Well, I'm glad you told me how you feel. I haven't really been as nice as I should have been. The others told me how bad you were and I guess I jump to conclusions." I saw her put her finger through her hair.

I stood up and put my hand out for her. She looked up with a confused face.

"It's time to start over."
