Previous Chapter: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/1058861132 no Tw this chapter !! this chapter is not relevant to the plot just filler. but this has to be my least favorite chapter so far. next chapters are important to the plot tho. (and better) :)
Story: The next knot in Ember’s stomach was a little more bearable, but his headache the night before was not. When he got back to his apartment that night his headache was unbearable. Of course Fletcher was there and tried asking where he had been. But Ember was to tired to answer. Needless to say he did not sleep well that night. But his headache wasn’t nearly as bad today. “did you miss me so much that you went sad anime protagonist on me” Wilbur teased if they only knew why Ember had hung his head. “nah, I wouldn’t waste a tear on you” Ember teased back putting another book on the shelf. Wilbur hummed as he leaned against the shelf next to Ember. “ well if you must know where I was all this time, I suppose I must tell you” they said being over dramatic as usual. “I was busy taming the lion of the mountains”. Ember rolled his eyes. “ok but seriously” Wilbur said switching out of his over dramatic tone “I took a vacation with my family to the mountains”. Ember nodded. “have you ever thought of a full time career as an actor.” He ask jokingly. “have you ever thought of a full time career as a raccoon” Wilbur responded. Well it was nice to see Wilbur hadn’t changed. “anyways” Wilbur said. “I was wondering if I could get you phone number or something so I can let you know if something like this happens again”. Ember considered it for a second it might be nice to be able to contact Willbur every now and then. Ember nodded “as long as you don’t share it with everyone you know” he said. And Ember could have sworn he saw a flash of guilt in Wilbur’s eyes, but it disappeared to quickly for Ember to be sure. Wilbur nodded and handed Ember his phone to put his number in, and Ember did the same. Listing Wilbur as nerd in his contact list. Ember put his phone back in his pocket. “speaking of my family” Wilbur said. “they would like to meet you sometime”. Ember was a little surprised “really? Why?” he asked. “I don’t know, but they said if you said yes that they would meet us down at the bakery on Friday”. Ember looked at the date, it was currently Monday. “ok, sounds nice” he said. “great” Wilbur said. O O O. Ember stood looking at the the bird seed at the pet store. He only had enough for a small bag but he wasn’t sure which one would be good. He didn’t have to get anything seeing as he didn’t have a pet bird. But he was here because of this one crow that kept appearing around his small balcony. It started showing up around a month ago when Ember started leaving his food outside. and they quickly became a frequent visitor. He had decided to name them Zephyr. Since then he had been feed Zephyr what ever fruit he could spare, but it was starting to get difficult to set aside food for the bird. And Flecher was already a little annoyed that they were giving more food to the bird than he was to himself, it was just one of those things that was weird but understandable. But giving Zephyr fruit was proving to be a little more expensive than Ember wanted it to be. so he was looking for birdseed for the next time they stopped by. But he wasn’t sure what to get them, and there wasn’t really any workers there to help them. So Ember swallowed his pride and asked a nearby customer. “um I’m looking for good bird seed for some backyard birds that I’ve been feeding, do you know what kind would be the best” he asked the person shook their head and walked of. “birdseed you say?” came a voice that almost made Ember jump. He turned around and looked at a person not much older than him, his dirty blonde hair reached down to their shoulders. Ember nodded. “well I don’t know a lot about birds but I suppose it all depends on what kind of bird you got coming around” the guy said. Ember looked at him. “crows” he said. “ah” the guy said. “now those I can tell you about my friend is obsessed with those birds. The feed they typically get if he isn’t getting them fruit, is this one right here” the guy grabbed a bag from the shelf and handed it to Ember. “personally I’m more of a pufferfish guy myself, but like what you like” the guy said. Ember wasn’t going to even question it. “thanks um..” “Aubery”. “Aubrey, thank you”. Ember was just not in the best flow today. “your welcome, and I’m also go out on a limb and say that you Ember” Aubrey said. “yes, and you know that because?” “I’m one of Wilbur’s friends”. “ why does that not surprise me” Ember asks. “the guy seems to know everyone in the city”. “nah, not as many people as you think” Aubrey said. “well it was nice meeting you but I have to go now” Ember said. After bidding Aubrey a farewell, Ember paid for the bird seed and left. NOTES: like i said just filler. was the end of that chapter not plot convenient at all and just me trying to stretch the chapter out? Yes, yes it was. Next chapter:
