Two stooges call a failure to be late night detectives

It'll never hear us come

Be Your Own Pet

— Is she dead?

— It seems so… Touch her.

— What? No! You, touch her!

— Ok, fine! Rock, paper, scissors.

…

— Há! Still undefeated.

— Man, why i always lose?

A moment passed and i felt a nudge. Immediately i took the stranger's arm and made him kiss the floor, drawing my staff.

— Argh…! I thnfvj brokee a riiibnnnnnn…

— OH MY GODS, RELAX, IT'S US!

I looked around, breathing hard, because of the scare. Cold had his paws raised with his cane. The red hair i was on top, it was no one other than Sun.

I put the staff back on the belt.

— Wow, sorry… You okay? — I asked, helping him to stand up.

— Off… I'm fine! I've had more painful blows than this. — Said Sun, doing a massage on your head.

— What you guys are even doing here, i thought you were already on Crest Hill! — A little smoke came out, while i was talking and i realized that the balcony was completely covered with snow, as well as my body, due to the snowfall that was happening outside.

— Yeah, it turns out, that we ended up stopping somewhere else in the middle of the trip! — Said Cold, beating his beaver tail in the snow. — And it was magnificent!

— I made a friendship with a warrior-unicorn! I even made a song for him!

Sun waved his fingers and a banjo appeared in his hand.

''LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…''

I covered his mouth.

— Did you say, ''warrior-unicorn''?

— HMmmMMMM!

— That, it's so cool.

— Ok, anyways, get you a coat, we have work to do. — Said Cold, climbing on Sun's shoulder.

— Do i really have to go? — I asked, yawning. — I have to… Prepare myself annually for psychological torture and then, i have to leave.

— Oh, right, the Hawk's Festival! Uhm… Wait…?

Sun and Cold exchanged a concerned look.

— What happened? — I asked, as i shook snow off my hammock.

— Uh… When Cold and i left, the festival was at least 3 months away… I think… While we were… — You could see in Sun's face that he was making a lot of effort to think.

— Summing up, half the crew on our ship is gone and we ended up living in a incredible place, which i completely forgot how it was for some reason, and it seems…

— That time passes FASTER THERE! DUHHH! — Sun slapped his own forehead. — So obvious.

— And how this place look like? Oh, yeah! You guys don't remember!

— Only from my unicorn friend!

I had already lost sleep at that point.

— Ok, Warrior-Unicorn and a Awesome Place. This is something for Pogo, c'mon.

— That reminds me, Pogo sent us to call you! It has something to do with Hal and Draneve and only you, can fix it!

— Woah, what happened with those two? — I asked, while picking up the boots hanging from Gary.

— We don't know, Pogo just yelled at us! His store was a mess when we arrived… — Said Cold.

I had never seen Hal and Draneve in my entire life, but according to Pogo, the couple were from another dimension and vowed to keep the store safe. Until today.

— Something is very wrong… — I finished putting on my boots and went to my closet to put on a coat. A peculiar thing about this jacket, it is coupled with a mask and goggles, ideal for snowfalls. And now is the time you ask ''wait a minute, where did you get it?''. I have no idea. — And i have one more mystery in my hands. Let's do it!

I put the glasses and the mask on, to give more effect.

— Ok, teletransportation time! — Sun rubbed his hands making out some sparkles. When he touched me, i felt like i was back in the summer. — Now! Jump!

I jumped slightly, holding Sun's hand and the three of us disappeared.
