Wild Spectrum

None of your Business

~*None of your Business*~

*Helmer's point of View*

I tried very hard to understand them. But all this Tracking and Healing and Teleporting was making me dizzy.

You see, a while ago, Spectrum had come back from her trip to find a fishing rod and started overreacting about the fact her diamond/amethyst things, that I had never heard of, were in the camp and we had to go back for them or she will explode and blah blah blah.

Of course, MCM was totally sympathetic and started giving advice like:

"Spectrum, tsa, why don't you try to use the Arepaw to, tsa, bring them back? Helmer, tsa, step back, you're distracting her."

Spectrum had just glanced at MCM, then turned away and said quietly, "But.... But I can't transport items through space and stuff..." But MCM had just shaken her head and murmured something about Spectrum having to learn much more. Then she said, " Spectrum, tsa, what have you used your Arepaw for so far? Tsa, Arepaw for magic. " She added, reading my thoughts, which were going like 'What is this ridiculous code they're speaking in? What is this Arepaw anyway? "

Spectrum thought hard and started listing all the things she'd done using magic. "Well, I used it mostly to heal myself and others, although one time I tried to use it to find dragons... Don't ask. But it didn't work." MCM looked astounded. " Why would you ever, tsa, want to look for dragons? " Spectrum straightened her back and said in the proudest voice ever, " because dragons are awesome! I've always wanted to have a friend dragon! "

This made me attentive. "Everyone stop! You mean to tell me that, dragons EXIST?! Like right now?! Here? On earth? Really?!" Spectrum stared at me . "You never knew that? You don't know that dragons, unicorns, werecreatures (werewolves, werecats, etc.) and like many other creatures exist? Helmer really you're one of the- oh. Nevermind. Of course you didn't know. Almost all don't know."

MCM interrupted . "Any other, tsa, things you tried to use Arepaw for?" Spectrum snapped back to attention. " Well, I also tried to use it to talk to animals, and it kinda worked..." MCM asked what does Spectrum mean when she said kinda. So Spectrum said, " I could understand what the animal was saying, but when I tried to speak back my voice either turned into another animal's or I couldn't speak at all. "

"Tsa, so your main element is Healing,and you, tsa, tried using it for Tracking, and Understanding Languages. Tsa, now try to use the Teleport." And now I butted into the conversation again." Guys please explain what is this? I don't understand anything at all, and I feel left out!" Spectrum looked at MCM . MCM just waved her tail and snapped, rather crossly, at me. " Then, tsa, leave. If you feel left out , please, tsa, continue feeling so, because I won't bother explaining if your, tsa, brain can't understand this. " Spectrum looked insulted, then she glared at Tsapa- crap I mean MCM- and said coolly, " It seems my brain also can't understand this' Tsapa. I've never heard of this before." MCM looked aghast . " You have never- oh this is horrible! This is so terrible, tsa, why didn't you tell me you weren't contacted by the , tsa, ECHO before?!"

"The ECHO? " Echoed Spectrum, looking blankly at MCM. "What's that?"

MCM shook her head and raised herself higher. "It's a, tsa, community , that teaches, tsa, all kinds of creatures who have the- tsa, who's Aretna gave them powers. " Spectrum looked confused. "Really? What does ECHO stand for then? " I was shocked at Spectrum's stupidity. "Spectrum! It stands for echoes! You know? When someone shouts, it's repeated! Like HELLO,HELLO, Hello, hello, hello.... Remember?"

MCM decided to use her probably bloodstained paws to push me away and resumed her conversation with Spectrum. " No one really, tsa, knows what it stands for. It was invented by, tsa-"

Suddenly MCM looked around and then walked up to a tree. She clambered up, and hoisted herself on an upper branch.Then she disappeared behind some leaves, her dappled coat blending in . "Tsapa?" Spectrum asked. We heard some shuffles. A moment later, MCM jumped down, landing gracefully on her paws, something in her mouth again.

She let the thing fall down and pinned it with her paw. "How much, tsa, have you heard?" The thing shook its head. "None of your business!" She pressed onto the thing's throat. "None of your business! " It repeated, hissing. Spectrum looked deep in thought. "That can't be a fairy or a faery, neither can it be a leprechaun , so...? Gah! It must be a... a.... hmmm" She muttered. I decided to get a good look at that thing, whatever it was.

The thing was small and furry. It gnashed it's teeth in the air and tried to injure MCM's paw. "Spectrum. It's a rat. " I suddenly claimed.

"What? No way! It can't be a rat... It's .... It's a rat. But- but rats can't talk!" I raised my eyebrows, causally reminding her that neither could Mutant Cats. "But Tsapa is special! " She snapped back and turned around.
