Even though I have little idea of what my previous life was, I'm quite sure this place is insane by any standards. I'm not sure what really happened...it might have been a daydream...a bizarre daydream, but he's still here in my room with that confused look on his face. It all started last night...

FLASHBACK

Random and Darwin sat silently back to back on a wooden bench."So...," Darwin said gloomily staring at the wall.
     "Yeah...so..." sighed Random equally gloomily.
     "I'm gonna have to leave soon," said Darwin stating the obvious yet again.
    "Yup...when exactly are you leaving?" asked Random with no hope in her voice.
    "Not sure. It could be days; it could be weeks. Depending on the weather..." sighed Darwin.
     "Yeah?...What are you going to do then?" asked Random.
     "Continue with my research I guess..." he stated simply.
     "I'm...going to miss you..." she said slowly.
     "Yeah...me too," said Darwin quietly.
    They sat in silence for another ten minutes before they went to their beds.

LATER THAT NIGHT

     Random lay on her bed staring blankly at the ceiling. "I wish...I could have Charles around AND let him follow his dream at the same time" she sighed frustratedly. It was her last thought before she fell asleep. After she did so, her stone (which she kept next to her bed) began glowing a soft white light before silently dissolving into tiny silver dust motes.

THAT MORNING
     "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH" yelled Darwin abruptly awakening Random from her pleasent dream ("But Mr. Footie... We can't cross the ravine without a bonbon!!") she groggily got out of bed and stretched.
     "Aaagh! Darwin!!!! What are you yelling about? And wha- WAIT A MINUTE!! WHERE'S MY ROCK?! DO YOU HAVE MY ROCK, FAIRY BOY? I'M GONNA CUT OFF YOUR TOES WITH A RUSTY EXACTO-KNIFE AND MAKE YOU EAT THEM," she began, stomping to his room. "I'm sorry, Darwin, but no matter how many shards you ea,t all it's going to give you is bad gas I might as well—GASP" —She walked into Darwin's room and saw DARWIN IN NOTHING BUT HIS UNDERDRAWERS and a clone of Darwin looking slightly confused and hiding behind the bed.
