AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT

IT'S...

SLANG'S POV

Oh... s-sir... this is absolutely nerve-wracking for me...

Are you sure you want me to tell this story, sir...?

*gulp*

A-alright, then... but I'm a bit ashamed still by what I did... I know you keep saying I don't have to be ashamed, but what happened when I first discovered Python was not funny, trust me, sir...!

Okay...

H-hello. I'm Slang... the cute and cowardly little Dunsparce... b-but you already knew that, didn't you? You've probably been following all my adventures with Nimja... and OGiNiM... and HyDrO... and let me tell you, it has not been a fun time for me! Not at all! I was nearly tortured by an evil Mewtwo; I had to witness OGiNiM go through a depression; I met ghosts...

Okay, the ghosts actually turned out to be pretty nice ghosts, but still! I saw a bunch of terrifying monsters, and even if they were an illusion, I am never getting that day out of my head! It was absolutely terrifying!

What...?

What do you mean, I'm braver than I look?

Okay, yes, I talked to the monsters, but that doesn't mean that I haven't gotten over my fear of them! I'm terrified of everything, you know! W-well... except my friends... and portal travel... portal travel is good...

B-but still... Nimja wanted me to tell this story... he thinks it's hilarious for some reason...

I don't find it funny at all...

W-where in the world are you coming from, sir...? What about that day was funny, sir...?

E-everything?!

N-no! T-trust me, sir! Nothing about that day was funny!

...Are you sure?

O-okay, sir... Eep!

W-well, I guess I should tell you the story about the time I discovered the most unexpected thing in the world...

I don't think I'm all that good at telling stories, but I'll try...

S-so... it all started a few days ago at Nimja's house in that scary place called Amsterdam. Nimja told me earlier that day that he had programming work to do, and left. He seemed very excited about the day and said that it was going to be a very silly day. I didn't know why. Now, I've learned to trust Nimja a bit more than I did before (believe me, sir, I will be forever grateful to you for saving my life from that evil Mewtwo...!), but regardless, I still had suspicions about him. You see, I didn't exactly know what programming meant in this context... my dimension had never experienced it before.

But I did know what it meant to program something.

And oh... its definition absolutely horrifies me...!

It means: to provide something with coded instructions.

And naturally, there was only one thing that came to my mind when I heard the word "programming..."
