3 Weeks

ACT 1 : CHAPTER 2

          Tofu slept peacefully in bed, while Maya was close by, laying on a rug on the floor.
"..Urgh.." Maya sat up, and saw Tofu in bed. "...TOFU!"
"WAAH!!" Tofu shot up out of bed.
"Tofu I was sleeping there!!" Maya crossed her arms.
"Oh, uhhh.. umm.. this bed was empty when I came in here??" Tofu got out of bed.
"No it was not! I know very well that I fell asleep in that bed." Maya argued with Tofu.
Slinky popped up from behind Tofu. "ACTUALLY!-"
"WAAHH!!"
"AAAAA!!!"
"...Are you done?!" Slinky crossed his arms. "Maya, I watched it all happen right in front of my eyes!! Tofu shoved you out of bed, right onto the floor!!"
"Huh?! N-No I didn't! Maya, he's lying!! I would never!" Tofu said.
"Sigh. Just forget it." Maya walked out of the room.
"Hmph. So I did that all for nothing." Slinky followed.
Tofu kinda just sat there before going to the dining room.

"So I think it would be a good idea if we met here every morning!" Para announced.
"Yeah, I agree." Anya said.
Tofu walked in. "Hey guys.."
"Hey Tofu!" Jaden waved at her.
"If we met here every morning, we could keep track of who's ok." Ghag said.
"Um.. what do you mean by ok?" Jaden asked her.
"Well.. what if.. someone believed Slinky? What if they actually thought it was a good idea to kill someone..?" Ghag shrugged.
"Oh drop the sad talk! It's pretty obvious we wouldn't do that." Julian interrupted her.
"Julian you definitely seem like the kind of person to do that-" Jaden rolled her eyes.
"Woah woah, no. We are not having an argument today!" Ghag told them.
"Uh, we weren't about to argue!" Jaden crossed her arms.
"Honestly, it really seemed like you WERE about to argue." Julian said.
Jaden grumbled.

Everyone had gone off to do their own things, while Lua was just sitting in the dining room.
"Psst!! Psssst!!!" There was a sound in Lua's ear.
"..Huh??" Lua looked around.
"PSSST!! HEY!!" Lua looked down. Under his chair was Slinky.
"Wh- What are you doing under there??"
"I have a surprise for you!!" Slinky motioned for him to come under the chair with him.
"..I can't fit under the chair with you?? And why would I?!" Lua whisper yelled at him.
"NO nO not under the chair WITH me, just under the table!!"
"No thanks..!"
"C'MON CAT BOY GET DOWN HERE."

Lua grunted and went under the table. His knees were at his chest and he was in a tight position.
"What?! What do you want??"
"I have a book for you!" Slinky handed him the book.
"..Uh, why?"
"Just read it! It will be useful for sure!!" Slinky made a thumbs-up gesture at him, then went away as quick as he could.
Lua opened it to the first few pages. He skimmed through the words.
Finally, he shut the book.
"This is stupid." He said as he got out from under the table. He left the book there, and exited the dining room.

Ghag walked around, and opened the door to the library. She walked in. Anya was in there, reading a big red book.
"Hey Anya, whatcha doing?" Ghag asked her.
"I'm just reading.." Anya said. The title of the book appeared to be 'Why dogs actually hate looking at your car'.
Odd title.. it would be expected that dogs wouldn't really mind looking at your car.
"Hey you two!!" Slinky came up from behind Anya.
"Agh- oh my god go awayyy.." Anya put her hands to her face.
"Ghag, wouldn't you agree that her book looks kinda stupid?" Slinky looked at Ghag.
"Uhh.. no?" Ghag squinted at him.
"Don't you think that she should read this book instead??" Slinky put a book in front of Anya.
"Uh-" Anya dropped the other book on accident.
"..Considering how you're acting right now, not at all." Ghag rolled her eyes.
"Uh- No?? Why won't anyone read this thing!! UGH!!" Slinky stomped away with an angry little kid attitude. Ghag looked back at Anya, who was putting the book away.
"Better make sure nobody reads this. It could be dangerous." Anya put it back where it looked like it belonged, and exited the library with Ghag.

The next morning, Jaden walked out of one of the bedrooms. She saw Tofu on her way to the dining room.
"Hey Tofu! How did you sleep?" Jaden asked.
"It was ok. I was kinda afraid of being pushed onto the floor, like Slinky did to Maya the other night." Tofu shrugged.
"Jeez, what an asshole." Jaden opened the door to the dining room, but then she jumped from what she saw.
"AAAHH!!"
Everyone else was in there, looking at it.
Blood was all over the wall, above where she sat.
Ghag had been murdered already.
