Everyone froze. The silence was broken by a dull thud that was Darwin
hitting the ground in a dead faint. The clone Darwin was obviously extremely
uncomforable and attempted to hide.
"Oh no you don't dude! I got questions!" she
picked him up and continued glaring at him. No really—she PICKED HIM UP, because
what you don't know is that he was tiny. Really tiny. (Like....Sumomo on
Chobits. And if you've never seen Chobits then you're out of luck cause that's
all the description you're going to get. Okay...maybe one more....about as tall
as your average salt shaker. Okay that's IT.)
"So where did you come from, Shorty?! huh?! Huh?! HUH?!" she interrogated.
"Well how should I know?! I don't remember anything! And why would I?! Apparently
I'm a clone. And all I have is knowledge. No memories, no meaning, no nothing," he responded flatly.
"You know...you could make it a bit less obvious that you know something..." she said
walking him over to her room.
"I KNOW NOTHING YOU GODFORSAKEN WENCH!!! PUT ME DOWN!!" he yelled, jumping up and
down on his already quite precarious perch.
"Oh you don't! We have to un-Darwin you." she said, putting him down on her bed and looking for something.
"Un-Darwin me?! Why—and how—do you propose to do that?!" he snapped, growing tired of jumping and settled
for staring angrily up at her.
"Well we can't just leave you all Darwin-y now
can we? People would start making rumors about voodoo dolls and other bits of
nonsense and before you know it I'm being burned like a witch! And I'm sure I
can find something!" she chirped optimistically "Ah! Here we are!! I knew my
trusty 'Worst Case Scenario Handbook' wouldn't let me down! 'How To Disguise A
Five-Inch Tall Clone From A Shipful Of Idiots'! That's oddly specific! Ah well!
We have some work to do!!"
1 HOUR LATER
"Whoa...who knew you could make color contacts from a rat!" wondered Darwin clone
"And the hair dye was ingenious!" remarked Random "But I'm not sure
Princess will ever be the same..."
Darwin clone now looked unrecognizable; his
hair was short and jet black and his eyes were a light silvery gray. "So...how
am I going to look less suspicious like this? I'm still five inches tall," he
observed
"Well, if things aren't that strange on this ship,
they usually make their own solutions...for a surreal ship constantly being visited by the
Twilight Zone they're a little afraid of the paranormal. So they see what they
want to!" she said smiling.
"Wow...that was the wisest most ridiculous thing
I've ever heard..." Darwin Clone said slowly. "It's strange how often the two coincide..."
