Lightning flickered across the sky as we arrived back in Twinleaf Town, both of us completely soaked. With Roy still supporting me, we sluggishly make our way through our dingy little town until we reached my house. After the day we’ve had it felt good to finally be home again. Roy releases his grip as we head inside. I slip off my waterlogged shoes and place my ruined hat on the table near the door. Thankfully my hair isn’t too damp, but without my hat on, my bangs just stick to my forehead. Roy is no better off than I am, “We must look ridiculous.”

Roy lets out a small snicker as we slump down onto the couch, at least all the excitement is done and over with now. Just as we are beginning to relax we hear the phone ring, “Hello? Oh Mom I… I know we should have told… You don’t understand… I… Okay we’ll see you when you get back.” I knew she was going to be angry. “She really is an excellent mother isn’t she? Not once does she sound concerned.” Our laughter echoes throughout the empty house as I collapse back on the couch next to Roy.

“Well to be fair we did disappear without saying anything. Hopefully she will cool off before they get home.” Roy doesn’t sound too concerned, but his mom is a bit more lax than mine. I know my mother means well but she can be a bit overbearing sometimes. Not that I am in any position to complain.
