Brainstorm Over A Problematic Case

We were standing over this poor guy’s body and wondering what to do. I swear, if someone would see us at that moment...

“We just need to take him somewhere, so he won’t literally die from hypothermia.” panda suggested.

“Where?”

“To your place, right?”

I was really trying to be calm. “Are you mad? You want to blame it all on me?”

“What?”

“What “what”? Just look at him! It’s enough that he’s unconscious! I can’t even take him to my grandparents’ place as I won’t have an excuse for that! Anyway, why would I take him in the first place? Why don’t you do it, huh?”

“Um...”

“Don’t “um” me! You started this whole shit! So take responsibility!”

A thought of calling an ambulance came to my mind, but it would cause even more problems as this guy didn’t really look like someone from Earth... He had some clearly visible “fantasy” parts, including untypical skin colour and small horns growing from both sides of his head. Very small horns.

Shifu just rolled their eyes. “You were supposed to do thaaaat! It will ruin the plaaaan!”

“Huh?” I had no idea what they were talking about.

“After knocking him out, you were supposed to take him to your place and-” while panda was explaining their obnoxious plan I was enlightened how this plan could actually looked like.

“Hold on, isn’t it like that you want us to get together?”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

‘In your bloody dreams, you louse.’ I responded to them in my mind.

“If you’re that much into it, then go ahead, go for him, get married and have plenty of kids together!”

“I can’t have kids like I am right now!”

‘Is this your only worry?! You’re actually okay with the rest of it?!’

“My God... Santa Maria de la Rosa...” at this point I couldn’t even be angry, hopeless or anything else, it was too much for me, my brain couldn’t take anymore.

“Pff, for God’s sake.” they scoffed. “This girl... can’t even do what she’s asked to do...”

“You said something?”

Suddenly they became quiet. How predictable it was.

Fluffy ball was waving their hand over the body and it begun to float on the surface. At first I wanted to question it, but, hey, so much has happened over these few minutes. Did I really want to ask a talking red panda from I-don't-even-know how the heck they were able to make this guy I-don't-even-know-from-where-either's body floating?

Nope, I didn’t.

“What are you doing?”

“If you don’t want to do it, then I guess, I have no other choice?” they answered reproachfully.

“And where do you want to take him, huh?”

“You’ll see. Follow me.”

I was pretty deep in that, so it was better for me to go with them.

“Hey,” I recalled something, “ you didn’t want to get rid of him, by any chance?”

“Yeaaaah?”

“So why do you care about him then?”

“Because you don’t want tooo? He can’t die here anywaaay!”

“I think I’ll never get it...”

I followed the panda. We were going through snow in an unknown direction. It was after 6pm, but it was even darker than before. I’ve never really been in this area, so it was hard to tell where we were going exactly. Shifu was more nutty than a trail mix, so everything was possible with them.

After several minutes we got to the place. I wasn’t even sure what it was exactly. It could be even a tree hollow, but I could fit in, so it was more of a panda-sized cave.

And, surprisingly, I wasn’t much wrong. Except, we were inside the tree. Like in Winnie the Pooh or anything else.

I had no idea how it was: a) so spacious, b) so warm, c) there?!

It had enough space to put guy on a ground without breaking anything inside. I just noticed how tall he was. Nothing crazy, but still a bit above average.

Tall guy with micro horns, hihi.

“So, what now?” I asked.

“Sleeping princess needs to wake up first.”

“Ughh...” I sighed loudly. “I hope it won’t take long.”

“If he’s not going to wake up soon, I’ll just bonk him!”

“Bonk? You mean, with a hammer?”

Shifu took from somewhere a wooden hammer, almost as big as them.

“I don’t have time to play with hiiiim!”

“Be careful to not bonk his jewels ag-”

At the same time, this poor guy probably overheard our conversation and in order to prevent from such situation to happen again, he got up very quickly.

I kind of understood him.
