Reminder: this is rat speech, this is human speech

Let's get started!

The drop was a lot longer then the boy had originally thought it would be. The strange girl he had meet scratched at the air as she tried to straightened herself out whilst falling.

The wind got knocked out of them as they fell, cutting off some of their screams as they were knocked into the sides of the rusty pipe.

Finally the pipe ended, opening up in a flooded room. They fell, the boy being knocked under the surface of horribly disgusting water as the girl fell on him.

He felt himself accidentally gulp a mouthful of the bitter and nasty tasting water, making him feel sick the moment it went down his throat. He tried to swim upwards, breaking the water and gasping for breath. He looked around, before spotting the girl not far from him, splashing frantically.

"What did you do that for!"

"Squeak!"

"Oh, for the love of- go away!"

"Squeak, squeak,"

He swam to a nearby ledge, grabbing and climbing up. She followed him, loudly splashing in the water, before pulling herself up the ledge as well. She was on all fours, shaking her head like a dog.

The boy groaned, more water falling onto him from the cascade of droplets off her bright yellow raincoat. He looked back out to the room ahead of them, seeing more water, furniture and objected floating around. Great, now he was off track and had to swim now... wooo...

He reached down to his jean pocket, pulling a flashlight. With a click, it came to life, lighting his path. The girl gave another small squeak, looking at the torch with interest.

"What? Never seen a flashlight before?" He sneared, before walking across the room. The girl followed him, much to his misfortune. She kept squeaking at him, like she was trying to talk.

"Blueberry! I can call you Blueberry, right? I'm gonna do it anyways no matter what you say. Where are we?"

"Shut up before some monster finds us, go away! Go, get out of here!" Blueberry make a motion with his hands, like he was flicking stuff on his paws. Water splashed onto her cheek, making her jumped back slightly. Her eyes lit up as she realized what he was doing.

"Ooh, you want to play a game? Let's play tag!"
Blueberry looked at her strangely as she got into the play bow, suddenly pouncing and slamming into him. Just as fast as she hit him, she bounced off, grinning brightly.

Blueberry let out a groan of pain, holding his crotch, falling down and curled up on the wet metal flooring. The light thingy rolled away from him, casting a beam further into the dark room.

Six got into a play bow again, digging her claws into the metal, ready for him to bounce up and leap at her. He didn't bounce back as quickly as she thought he would; nor did he uncurl.

"Did I hit you too hard?"

"Squeak sque?"

"I'm going to kill you," he barely groaned. Slowly, the boy sat up, pain still wrecking him. He tried to steady his breath, glaring as he looked at the girl.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" he asked, getting up to his hands and knees.

"Squeak squeak!"

She dropped back into the pouncing stance again, making his hidden blue eyes widen. "No, wait!"
