I've Always Wanted To Be The Best P.2

Bunny's House

.......

"So, I need two pictures of him sleeping and three pieces of his clothing, and then I'll give them to you, okay?" Bunny said casually, engrossed in a game of checkers.

"I believe this is what is called an unhealthy obsession, but who am I to judge?" Harleen remarked, shaking her head.

"That means 'yes' in Harley speak, Bunni," Chamille clarified, her tone filled with amusement, as she easily won another game of checkers.

"Why are you so good at this game? Anyway, here," Chamille said, handing Bunny a piece of paper with a string of numbers written on it.

"Welcome," Harleen said, preparing to leave.

"Wait... Isn't she supposed to say 'thank you'?" Bunny asked, a bit confused.

"But didn't you make her pay a fee? So why would she thank you for making her pay something?" Chamille countered, raising an eyebrow.

"...I hate the fact that you make sense," Bunny muttered, slightly frustrated.

"Too bad, dummy," Chamille teased, giving Bunny a playful wink before leaving the room.

Thess's Apartment

........

Thess entered his apartment, placing his belongings on the floor before heading for a shower.

*WHSSSSSS*

Afterward, he proceeded to brush his teeth, glancing at his lack of facial hair. Not bothered by it, he moved on to clipping his nails, paying no mind to the absence of hair on his body.

*CLCK CLCK CLCK CLCK CLCK LCKC CLCK CLCK*

"I'm hungry..." he voiced his thoughts aloud, grabbing a knife and preparing a sandwich in his small kitchen.

"...I want to play Fortnite with Linus..." Unfortunately, he had forgotten to pay his electricity bill and would soon be living in darkness.

*tap*

"...I heard something," he muttered to himself.

*tap*

"Yes, I heard something..." he responded, rolling over to investigate the source of the sound, discovering his backpack was moving.

*tap*

"Hello, Mr. Backpack, are you alive?" he whimsically asked the inanimate object.

*crkkk*

"...That sounds like an eggshell cracking, but I didn't buy any eggs today. How?" he pondered, still unaware that the events of that day were real and not just a dream.

*crkkk~*

"...Based on my current experience, that would mean the dream I had was real, and Snake Mother Aria is an actual person/snake. Does that mean my in-game information is also real? No, that wouldn't make sense.

After all, I should be able to fly if that were true... It means that something supernatural exists, or perhaps I should call it natural, since now I know it's nothing new... Strange..." he reasoned, attempting to make sense of the situation.

"...She gave me an egg and mentioned that I smelled interesting... I always thought Eucalyptus trees smelled weird..."

*crack!*

"...Excuse me, Mr. Cracking Egg, but could you be a little quieter during your hatching? That would be pleasant," he politely requested, addressing the egg.

*silence*

"...Well, you're a nice person, and I appreciate that. Anyway, based on what has happened, it's likely that other 'normal' things will occur. She mentioned 'elven' beings, which I assume refers to individuals with pointed features and great proportions... I wouldn't mind taking a swim in an Elven pool..."

*knock*

"...I dislike visitors, Mr. Eggy, which is why I never share my address..." he muttered while adjusting his hairstyle.

*opens*

"...ah-"

"Shush. Firstly, why does Bunny have your phone number when you don't own a phone? It doesn't matter; don't answer that. Let me in, and we'll talk..." she interrupted, entering without permission.

"Your chairs are surprisingly comfy, at least that's something to look forward to. Anyway, first question, what's your real name?"

"...It's probably Thess, and I've forgotten my last name again..."

"Well, clearly you're you. I have a couple of questions for you. Before we continue, do you know that Mr. Hubb's died-"

cries

"Mr. Hubb's died?! Why didn't anyone tell me? I have to inform Linus and...Justus he didn't get to say goodbye," he broke down, visibly emotional.

"Oh, well, I'm sorry, I guess... I'm not good at dealing with loss... family. I'll just... stare"

Crack!

"Chocho" a voice emerged from the broken eggshell.

"...I honestly thought it would be harder to find... So, how did you find it?"

"...Mother..." he said plainly.

"Alright then, I'll explain why. Since you've been such a great help, I'm seeking to assist my father and most likely explore supernatural-"

"Natural..."

"What?"

"It's considered normal to those who can see it, right? So, it's natural," he responded with postmodern logic.

"Hmm... You're right. That's a commendable perspective, and I quite like it. Would you join my side and investigate this-"

"Nah..." he said as he walked to find a blanket.

"Choo~"

"Don't worry, I'll find you a bed soon..."

"Why wouldn't you want to join? It's efficient and the best way to find fame, adventure, and whatever you desire."

"I'm too busy working out because Linus said I'm fat... and I have schoolwork and video games to play... someone also found another cheat, so I have to try that..." he said as he settled the baby egg in its makeshift bed.

"Cuoo~"

"My name is Thess, and-" he was ignored.

"My name is Thess, so-" again.

"My name is Thess, but-" again.

"My name is Thess, what-" once more.

"My name is Thess, might-" and again.

"My name is Thess..."

"Yeah, and?"

"..."

"...So Thess, what are you again?"

"Oh, but I'm... Ron..."

"Didn't you just say your name was Thess?"

"It's Thess with an 'h,' and it's my... nickname, yeah... so please call me by that instead!"

"Don't yell!"

"S-sorry"

"No, don't apologize because what does that do to my poor eardrums? Don't yell ever, okay?"

"Understood, Miss...?"

"If you want to know my name, then just ask instead of being polite. Politeness doesn't work with you, imposter. It's clear you're not native or from America with your antics."

*sigh*

"Well, you're right. Do you want to try to escape my Chinese finger trap?"

*looks*

"...You've got one on your finger, buddy."

"..."

"Let's just not start with an awkward memory. Okay, let's begin with a basic introduction like this..."
