The Dreamland

Camp: End of Day Three

"So, Puff, I want to ask you questions." Panda said

"Me too. I have to ask a question to you."

"Okay you go first."

Everyone fell silent, focused in Puff's question to Panda.

Everyone was wondering

Is Panda the next one?

"What is..."

Everyone feel intensed. 

Panda is sweating.

"...you first question?"

What in the heaven's---?!

"Ooookay then, where do we go next?"

"In the swamp. And you're asking me these questions so that you get prepared?"

"Yes. Look, already three of us got in the near-death state. I don't wanna let that happen again."

"You're too worried about the future my friend. Perhaps something in the past happened to you already that you don't want to repeat that?"

"Well, it depends upon the person asking that matter."

"Oh really, what about her?"

"Who's her?"

"You know very well who I am referring to."

"I have many female friends."

"Best Friends Forever, eh? How come you don't plan a move?"

The four girls don't understand anything at all.

"How come you don't shut your noisy mouth?"

Panda's mad and annoyed. Cat must stop this madness before it cause havoc.

"OOOOOHHH-KAAAAYY! It's very late and we need to go to sleep. We need rest for tomorrow."

Everyone slept, except Panda. He was crying.

"Panda? Are you crying?"

"Oh, sorry to wake you up."

"No-no. It's okay. Tell me about it."

"Well, I can't do it."

"Do what?"

"I need her. She's the only hope and strength I have to keep me going in this fight, and Puff can take it away, crush my dreams."

"Who's her?"

"I-I can't tell"

She wiped Panda's tears.

"Whoever she is, she would be very proud if she found out that you're still fighting for her."

"She probably forgot me already. Maybe they all thought we're already dead."

"Don't be pessimistic. As much as you need her, we also need you."

"I'm confused right now. Only three days have passed and I feel like I missed her for a century, or more."

"Look, you love her more than friends, and she just looks it that way."

"We are friends for four years already."

"Wow! Four, I mean, that is long."

"And I still can't say to her that I love her."

"It'll be okay."

"No it's not okay."

"Look, stop being a sad panda. create a diversion from your mind. Stop thinking about her for a moment and think how can we survive this."

"St-stop th-thinking about her? She's my source of strength."

"Now she's your weakness."

Panda thought of this. She's right.

"What should I do?"

"I honestly don't know."

Panda lost hope. He's sadder than ever.

She was the pergect girl.

She was his source of life.

She was his banner of strength.

She was the reason why he's still living.

The reason why he's still breathing.

The reason why he sacrificed himself for the sword.

He thought

Sorry, best friend, but I must do it.

"Hand it t-"

"Give me the sword."

"Well, someone's having a hard time sleeping."

"Darn you Puff."

"You know that there will always be a reason behind those tears."

"..."

"So, do you know why she became your greatest weakness?"

"Why? Because I get distracted?"

"Because if someone took her from you, there'd be no reason for you to live anymore."

"..."

"What if your greatest armor, best weapon, and most powerful items was taken, will you survive? Probably not. You already said it so."

"..."

"That depression, it's poison. It can kill you anytime now. There's one antidote, and you are free to decide when to drink it. It's called 'Move on'."

"..."

"You'll cry yourself to sleep. If you were not able to handle us properly tomorrow, Snow and I will do it for you."

Probably one of the worst scumbags is Puff.

And one of the wisest bodies, too.

Best friend, I am still weak. I'll get stronger, and I'll save you from the legendary black dragon.

You just be careful, and happy.

I love you.
