Much Ado About Monkeys
stacy returned pryoga's gaze and he had no idea what to do...
'maybe i should go back into the strawberry milk' is something i bet he thought, but we really can't be too sure. suddenly he was standing right in front of the girl. how did he get there? that was weird.
"what is that thing that's been following you?" she said softly.
"thing that's been following me... " he echoed.
"i've lost my pet." she said in the same tone as his echo.
he knew introductions are important. "i'm pryoga."
"i'm stacy."
"so you lost your pet? well.. . where is it?"
"if you find it i'll tell you how to get home."
"how did you know i was trying to get home?" he asked... puzzled.
stacy took pryoga's hand and dragged him up a slippery hill. after a few close calls of slipping and sliding back down they made it to the top just to have to run back down the other side towards the biggest tree he'd ever seen... today. wich was still ever. built inside the nest of the tree's huge branches were walls and a floor and many platforms outside of the walls too.
"maumau mojo, mojo where are you?!" stacy exclaimed still pulling pryoga with her. "i know i left him around here somewhere. but where..."
"even if you left him here, its not like he'd stay, he could have wandered off anywhere."
stacy seemed to ignoore pryoga as she continued her search, "mojo!!! oh where is my little mojo? jojo?"
stacy let go of his hand and ran to the base of the tree house, she fell to her knees and picked up a rock off the ground.
"oh! i've found him, here he is! thank goodness i've found him." stacy hugged the rock and smiled contently as pryoga watched her in awe, trying not to poke fun. was this stacy a crazy person? did she know more than her new aquantance pryoga? whatever, atleast now pryoga knew he could go home.
after the brief reunion pry asked stacy if she could tell him how to get home, unfortuantely she pointed at the tree house explaining that it was home.
disappointed about the mix up he went inside and shared cookies and tea with stacy and maumau mojo.
this made him miss his party platters very much but he didnt complain.
after the break pryoga explained that he had to go back to the river and follow it upstream so he could go home.
after much effort on stacy's part to convince him to stay for a while they headed back over the hill towards the water. once there, stacy had a wonderful idea.
"pryoga, please, before you go can we go swimming with mojo!? i know of a beautiful calm in the lake just a bit down stream, its perfect for swimming, there's even a waterfall!"
as much as pryoga wanted to go home, it was hard for him to turn down this offer. it wasn't very fun being pulled by the current but the sound of swimming around in some calm strawberry milk sounded very appealling. they headed down stream to go for a swim.
pryoga was about to take off his cloths [wich would reveal to us if he wears boxers or briefs] when he saw something that left him stunned. stacy held the rock on her lap with both hands and, poof! it turned into a monkey! mau mau mojo was a monkey!?
pryoga gasped as stacy and the monkey giggled and the monkey jumped into the milk and began to swim and splash around.
"did you just turn your rock into a monkey?!" pryoga exclaimed.
"ofcourse i did... its just what i do" stacy retorted... a bit defensive.
stacy began walking over to pryoga.
"what you do?! what do you mean its just what you do?! people don't do that, people don't turn rocks into monkeys!"
"well... i do... i turn people and animals into rocks.. then i turn them back into themselves. but don't worry! mojo likes to be a rock, he just also likes swimming, so when i swim i turn him back into a monkey. i mean, everyone can do something... what is it that you do?"
as stacy got closer pryoga slowly started to back away.
"i can't stay here. i n- n- need to go.. . i just have to go" he stuttered as he started to panic.
rage filled stacy's eyes. "YOU. YOU ARE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. YOU THINK I JUST GO AROUND TURNING PEOPLE INTO ROCKS EVEN THOUGH THEY DON'T WANT ME TO?! YOU THINK THE SLIGHTEST THING CAN MAKE ME MAD AND THEN, BAM! YOU'RE A ROCK!? IS THAT REALLY WHAT YOU THINK?!!?!?"
before pryoga could respond stacy charged forward grabbing him with both hands.
pyroga turned into a rock, about the size of a crab apple. she hurled him into the strawberry milk lake as hard as she could. he plopped in the milk making a small splash then he sank quickly, right to the bottom.
stacy called for maumau to come back to her.
"you turned him into a rock... i thought you liked him? he liked you."
"he didn't like me." stacy said monotoned. "he was afraid of me."
"what's so bad about being a rock anyways? i like being a rock."
"i know mojo... come on, let's go home."
stacy picked up mojo and turned him back into a rock then started heading back home.
she slipped on a muddy patch and fell quickly, she dropped mojo and he smashed against another rock, chipping a pretty big chunk of him off.
stacy burst into tears, but not because she had fallen, that didn't even matter.
what had she done to mojo? she picked him back up and picked up the pice that had chipped off. she sobbed the rest of the way home holding the two pieces close to her chest.
what would she do? if she turned him back into himself who knows what small chunk of his body would be detached. she needed help, and she knew who she had to go see. exquisitecorpse. he was master of healing the wounded aswell as brining back the dead. if he couldn't save poor mojo, she didn't know who else could.
clock is ticking.
our side of the fence, our side of the fence, our side of the fence,
are you on?
