The New Stick Figures

Chapter 2

The Second Coming watched as Pink and Navy bounced on a Facebook private conversation page, much like the one that he and the others had bounced on when they first came to life. The two of them were laughing, looking around them as they did so.

They had finished cleaning up the mess and were now just messing around in the computer without making another mess. Pink jumped down from the page and ran over to him and the others. "What else is there to do around here?" Pink asked enthusiastically. Second Coming shrugged, usually anything really interesting that happens either happens when Alan is at the computer or when one of the others decide to do something.

"Maybe explore the computer without making a mess?" The Pure One suggested as she walked up to them. "But we've already explored most of the computer. What else is there to do?" Navy asked as she jumped off the page and over to them.

"Well The Pure One can probably come up with something else now couldn't she?" Yellow suggested. "Please, call me Pure, it's easier that way." The Pure One said. "Ok Pure, so now what?" Brown asked as he walked up to them.

Navy climbed up the page to look out at the room beyond the page. "Where are you going Navy?" Pink called. "Just climbing up to the top of the page." She responded. "Ok." Pink called up and turned back to the others.

As Navy climbed up she could hear what sounded like a door being opened. When she got to the page she looked out at the room beyond the screen. Alan has walked into the room, having woken up early looking at the time that he was on during his vacation, and was walking over to the computer.

Navy panicked when she saw him and jumped down to the others. "Alan is back! Run!" Navy screamed. Pink and Brown both had a look of panic on their face a second before all three of them ran off. Second and the others were confused by their behavior for a moment, especially since Pure stayed where she was.

Alan got to the computer in time to see Navy, Pink, and Brown duck for cover and hide. Alan closed Facebook and opened up the art studio as Second likes to call it. Alan waved the cursor in front of Second and moved it into the art studio. The Second Coming climbed up into the art studio, Pure following close behind him out of curiosity.

Alan starts typing to Second. 'What's going on here? Why are there some new stick figures? I only remember making The Pure One come to life.' Alan typed. "They just appeared here. Pure said that they were brought to life by accident." Second Coming responded. Alan deleted what he typed and started typing again. 'But then why is there a Pink stick figure? I remember drawing Red in the animation I was doing.' Alan typed, questioning.

"Pure said that you accidentally made Red pink in the drawing." Second responded. "Pink and red are colors that are commonly confused." Pure said, although Alan wouldn't be able to know that she just spoke. Alan deleted what he had typed again and started typing once again. 'Well why are they hiding? Did they do something wrong or are they just skittish?' Alan typed.

Second shook his head. "Neither. They weren't scared of us when we met them and they weren't easily frightened by anything for the short amount of time that we spent with them." The Second Coming responded. "They're scared of Alan, that's what the problem is." Pure said.

Second turned to Pure to acknowledge what she had just said. Now he understood why they panicked when they did. It was because Alan came into the room. "Oh, Alan, Pure just said that they are hiding because they are scared of you." Second said.

Alan started typing again. 'Why would they be scared?' Alan typed. "Probably because you deleted Red, Blue, Yellow, and Green and then tried to delete me. They must think that you are gonna delete them." Second said.

'That explains it. Well what have they been like so far?' Alan typed. Second thought for a moment. "Well Pink is very cheerful, she is really nice." Second said. 'Hold on. She? Pink is a girl?' Alan typed. Second nodded. "Yeah, and so is Pure and Navy." Second answered. 'Navy? Short for Navy Blue?' Alan typed out the question. Second shook his head. "No, she is just called Navy. I guess it's because it wouldn't feel right to have "blue" in her name because of Blue." Second answered.
