~Later that night~
Blu? You there?
Yeah
What happens if Zalgo attacks us?
We fight him
What if we die?
Then we make sure that everyone will remember us
How?
By being memorable
What do we need to do to be memorable?
We need to be the best at everything we know how to do
Ok. Should we do extra Shifting practice?
Yeah. That's a good idea. Let's do it now!
What? At quarter to twelve?
Yes. This way, no one can stop us
Let's do it!!
You sneakily got out of bed and climbed out the window. You shifted into a bat and flew into the forest.
Right. What now?
We practice.
How?
Climb the trees.
As an animal?
No. Learn how to do it perfectly yourself first.
Ok.
Reaching for the first tree, you started your first midnight training session. The climbing got easier as you got better. You climbed trees until you were exhausted then you tried as different animals. You found that climbing as animals were easier because they usually had long claws to grip the branches.
After you finished the last tree Blu spoke to you again.
We need a shape that can protect us, while still looking like us.
Maybe we could extend our fingernails into claws. And get like... um.. fangs?
Ok. Sounds good. Let's do it!
~time skip~
The transformation went fairly smoothly you thought, as you stood in front of your bedroom mirror. Now you had sharp fangs and claws. And you heightened all of your other senses so you would be virtually impossible to sneak up on. Or at least that's what you predicted. The only difference in your appearance, other than the fangs and claws, was that to enhance your hearing you had to make your ears pointy. So now you looked like an elf.
Maybe no one will notice...
Er...well it's kinda obvious. Maybe if you do your hair a bit differently it will hide your ears.
Ok then. I will do that then.
You took out the braid in your hair and let it flow in font of your ears. There. No one could see anything different about your appearance now.
Well. Nothing different except the fangs and claws.
Shhhh... no one will see that..
Maybe just don't smile too much.
...
Just act like you usually do to me: Grumpy as hell.
That's mean Blue.
You killed your parents so you can't talk.
That's also mean.
Fine. Act like me.
Oh ok then. That's not too hard.
Practice.
...ok.
I started to giggle a little.
Go on then. Do an impression of me.
Ok then.
don't get offended.
"GRRR IM BLUE AND I HATE EVERYONE!!! NO ONE LIKES ME AND THATS FINE BECAUSE I ACT LIKE A GIRL ON HER PERIOD ALL THE TIME!! ALL I CARE ABOUT IS BEING ANNOYING AND I AM THE BEST IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!"
...well OK then. RUDE!! I do NOT act like a girl on her period.
You are kind of proving my point.
Shut the hell up.
