I don't know, Brian Boitano?

Yo, Lu, David! Check this out!

What the hell kind of strange, bizarro world are we living in?!

What? They're giving a trial to an animal?!

*Andrew just nods, and sits with his sister and friend.*

Something buggin' ya, bro?

Yeah, I'll say. It even makes Snake Baby look adorable. Hey... do you suppose Sevarius had anything to do with this?

Yeah, and we're gonna have to keep our guard up. Let's get in on the action!

Absolutely, I wouldn't be here if it weren't for them.

Huh? Where'd she go?

*Andrew pats David's back, and they bump each others fists* Heh-heh!

Yeah, it's all good. Now gimme some sugar! *Andrew holds out his arms*

*Andrew chuckles lightly* You don't have to tell me twice.

*The two Hager sibs get up, and walk down the hill where David is*

*Andrew smiles and wipes away his tears*

Yeah... I'll be fine.

*Andrew sniffles*

Well... I guess it's worth a try...

*Takes a second to calm down* Okay, Lindsey. I'm gonna be brave for David. No matter what happens, I'll never leave him! He's my friend... no... my brother. And I'll be there whenever he needs me. *Sniff!*

*The two Hagers hug each other tight*

*Andrew's eyes keep filling with tears as he looks at his sister in the eye*

But... what can we do to help him?

*Andrew sighs, and sits up* It's just that David was mutated into a gargoyle beast, and there was nothing I could do to help him. Then I get swallowed by some giant firebird, or phoenix, or whatever, and thrown into the past to pick up a Keyblade I can't even fight with! Then there's all these people from another dimension, a gargoyle with a Keyblade who nearly knocks my head off my shoulders, and this portal opens, and I run like a maniac, trying to get away from it! Try wrapping all that around your head!

And worst of all, after getting in touch with our friends and families, they start to panic from David's new look. And even though we explained the whole situation to them, one person, out of all of them, can't accept David for who he is! And who is that person, you ask? Our mom! Our mom, Lindsey! The one who brought us into this world! The very person who taught us everything we know! It wasn't bad enough having to hear her bullshit about him being Hispanic, but calling him a freak?! GOD!!!

*Andrew takes deep breaths, trying to get what's left of his anger out of his system*

And here we are, no better than where we were, the day we came here. *A tear rolls down Andrew's eye*

Huh? *Andrew looks up and sees his sister standing by him*

Oh... hey, Lu. *Slowly looks away* I'm fine, just... fine.

*Andrew sits sadly on the rock, knees up to his face, and arms across*

*Mutters to himself* What did I think I was gonna do? *Sighs a long, sad sigh* What a joke.

Uh, that's a very lovely poem, miss, but... who are you?
