Cricket quickly wiped his tears away, and smiled.

"Oh, hey! What's up, Remy?" Cricket asked, smiling.

"Are you okay? You looked like you were crying." Remy replied, hopping onto the hammock, beside Cricket.

"Pffft, me? cry? Heh, No way!" Cricket replied, scoffing.

"Hmm... Well, why were you looking like you were crying?" Remy asked.

"Uh, Something was in my eye, and I had to go wipe it out." Cricket replied.

"...So you came in your room?" Remy asked.

"Y-Yeah! Um... The... The... Um... Atmosphere helped me free my eyes." Cricket replied, quickly thinking of a lie.

Remy then put his hand over Cricket's shoulder, who looked at him.

"Cricket, is something bothering you?" Remy asked.

Cricket took a good look at Remy, and sighed in defeat.

"I guess I'm a little... homesick." Cricket replied, whispering at the last second.

"You're what? Flown stick?" Remy asked.

"Remy, I'm Homesick." Cricket Replied, sniffling.

"Homesick? Ooohhh!" Remy Replied.

Cricket softly sobbed, with him putting his head between his knees.

"O-Oh, Cricket! It's okay. I get homesick sometimes, too." Remy said.

"You live s-so near! That makes no sense." Cricket replied.

"Oof, why you gotta ruin the times I try to help you feel better...?" Remy whispered, under his breath.

"I just miss where I grew up... *sniffle* Where I was raised, and where I... belong." Cricket said.

Remy patted Cricket on the back, and frowned sadly.

"Cricket, I'm so sorry you feel homesick, I can't imagine how it feels to leave your home." Remy said.

Cricket didn't even look at Remy, but suddenly hugged him, as tears flew down his face.

"I can't stop thinking of the country! I-I feel like I've been abandoned." Cricket said, sobbing loudly.

"Whoa! It's okay, Cricket!" Remy said, patting him on the back.

Cricket sniffled, and let go of Remy, facing down, as his tears flew down his cheeks.

"Hey, Hey, still okay, buddy!... is there anything I can do to help you feel less homesick?" Remy asked.

"...I don't think so." Cricket replied.

"Hm, there has to be SOMETHING I can do to help him feel better..." Remy thought.
