Hold On To Me (WillDip)

Chapter 38: The Inter-dimensional Creature Contest

Tomorrow would be the show TC had talked about, and Will was a little scared as he got into bed late that night, worried for how it might be.

"Marina?"

"Yes, Will?"

"What's the show like?" he asked,

"Well...It's sort of like a fair, there will be a panel of judges who will judge you, it only takes a minute. Then, at the end of the night they announce the winners. Meanwhile in-between judging and announcements you will be on display, it's an inter-dimensional one though, so it's all very official, obviously there will be some people out to steal you, but it's very rare, and the whole thing is maximum security."

Will sighed "Sounds scary" he said, "Goodnight Marina"

"Goodnight, Will," the purple snake replied, tucking herself around the large branch she slept on.

Will could hear someone in the corner of his mind as he slept, he grumbled and waved his arms "Five more minutes, Mason" he muttered, trying to turn over to his side. Marina yelled again "WILL! WAKE UP!" she said, banging the glass part of her CU with her tail. Will woke with a snort "What?" he asked as he sat up, yawning loudly.

"Morning, Marina" he said, blinking and rubbing his eye, it was far too early to be up, right?

"Whose Mason?" The purple snake asked, Will was about to reply when loud rock music suddenly filtered into the CU room. Will bolted from his bed and pressed himself up against the glass in fright. "What the actual fuck!?" he cried. Marina chuckled softly "TC is excited. We have the show today" She said, "What's with the loud music?" he asked, blocking his 'ears' with his hands, he hated rock music, it made his ears feel like they were bleeding.

It was the same similar issue his twin had with synthesized music.

Will didn't have too long to get an answer as to why TC was blasting rock music so loudly and so early in the morning. The Collector appeared with a large tray cart on wheels, dancing along to the music with a huge smile on his face.

"He always wakes up in a good mood on show days, with you, he's expecting to win for definite" Marina said as both of them watched TC dance about and place the food into their respective CU's. The Collector grinned as he appeared in front of Will. "MORNING, MY LITTLE SHOW WINNER!" he sang, his voice shrill and loud.

Will snorted with laughter and TC chuckled. "What's so funny?"

"You need dance lessons stat!"

TC pretended to look offended "What are you saying about my dancing Will?"

"It's shit!"

"I am exceptional actually, and my dancing is what we in the multiverse like to call....UNIQUE" He said, making an elaborate hand gesture. Will giggled at his ridiculous attitude. Marina snorted softly, opening her previously unseen wings to move into position as TC opened her CU and set down a live mouse. "There we go, Marina dear, enjoy!"

Will cringed as Marina attacked the poor creature and he pushed his plate aside "Ughh, I just lost my appetite, ew."

TC burst into laughter "We can take it with us, yes? I need you to eat something"

Will grumbled but nodded. "Are we going now? It's a bit early" he said, pulling the covers on his bed up and tucking them in.

"Yes, need to be early to set up though, don't worry, we'll be back by 8pm"

Will gasped "We're going to be there all day!?"

That sounded exhausting!

"Yes, all day, but it'll be fun!"
