After a few minutes of comfortable silence between the two of us, Fawaz suddenly broke the silence by asking me, "So, since we are going to be stuck with each other for quite a long time, tell me more about yourself."

"Erm, I am a human who has been alive for fifteen years on the planet Earth. I like to play the violin and my favorite color is blue, purple, black, and I like basically every color. I like to--" I had started to say when Fawaz rudely, emphasis on the word rudely, interrupted me.

"Tell me something interesting that I don't know about you already from my dreams. Most embarrassing moment of your life? Ever fallen into a toilet? Interesting stuff like that." Fawaz said, beckoning me to continue talking again. 

 "Why in the world would I ever fall into the toilet?" I asked, chuckling to myself. 

"Well, maybe because you thought there was a secret world down there or something? I don't know, I used to believe that there was a magical world down the toilet seat in Earth. Anyways, I'm a bit weird in case you haven't noticed yet, " Fawaz said. 

"Well, I have noticed but that's not meant as an offense because weird is cool." 

"Booya, you've got it correct this time!" Fawaz said while grinning like a Chelshire cat, "Wait a sec, I have to do something..." He stopped suddenly in his tracks and closed his eyes.

Erm, well, this is an awkward situation for me. 

Suddenly I heard a popping noise and Fawaz just disappeared from in front of me! Not only had he disappeared but a younger man was standing on the very spot where he had been. The man was tall and clad in green, a shade of green that matched his eyes perfectly. He had a small smile on his face and was looking at me like he was expecting something from me. This man actually looked a lot like Fawaz, so much that he may have been Fawaz's grandson for all I knew!

Thinking I should greet him or something, I stretched out my hand and said, "Erm, hi. I'm a human being by the name of Mia, and you are...?"

No answer. I looked at the person expectantly and then suddenly saw his shoulders were shaking-- he was laughing! I exclaimed, offended, "Hey! It is not funny to laugh when someone asks what your name is, and why are you laughing like a... a.... I don't know. Just stop laughing!"

As if on cue, the person started laughing out loud like a hyena right as I finished telling him to stop. "You are.... hila...rious!"

Well, what can I say, I get myself into awkward situations a lot. "Erm, can you tell me what is so funny?" I asked, confused.

"Haha... you...he... think I am... hehe... another person... haha!" The crazy laughing man, (that's my new name for him), said, while still laughing like a weirdo. 

"Are you high or something?" I asked. 

"Waddya mean?" The man suddenly stopped laughing and looked in a confusing manner at me. His eyebrows were stitched together and his facial expression was the exact replica of a confused person in the cartoons I used to watch. 

Wait, how does he not know what I'm joking about? Oh yeah, he's not from our world, I'll have to keep that in my mind from now on. I'm not quite used to talking to humans that are not from Earth, Mia, think fast. What should you say? 

I replied to the man, "Nothing. Can you please tell me what your name is? Since I feel that you and I are going to be stuck with each other for a while..."

The man started laughing again and managed to stop himself long enough to say, "I'm Fawaz!"

Wait... This young person was that old person? I'm not buying that. "I don't believe you, why would I believe you?"

"I am the one and only Fawaz that you were with a second ago!" 

I felt like I should test him for that possibility since the world I was in now was indeed a magical world. I held up my notebook and asked him, "Do you know anything significant about this plain old notebook?"
