Ragatha grabs Pomni by the arm, basically drags her across the hallway. Pomni being dragged behind, she just quit on walking and slumped back. Ragatha kept dragging her and it worked cause she’s SHOR- Anyways Pomni was pulling the Five-Year-Old-Tantrum-Pose, and Ragatha just dragging her like a wagon. “Where you taking me?” Pomni said flatly Ragatha glanced at her dragged form, and sighed. “Remember when you first met Kaufmo he was in his room?” Pomni blankly nodded “uh…huh?” “Well….” Ragatha shifted to her side uncomfortably. She glanced at Kaufmo’s door, staring at the huge red X mark slashed across it’s white circle. Pomni got up, slowly. “Ragatha your scaring me.” Pomni still held Ragatha’s hand. Ragatha glanced at Pomni, her voice shaking “usually people abstract in there sleep” Pomni froze. “WHY DIDNT YOU SAY THAT IN THE FIRST PLACE?” Pomni starts dragging Ragatha across the circus. Ragatha trails behind “HOW ARE YOU THIS STRONG?!” “YOUR MADE OF YARN!” Pomni yells back. “Oh yea….” Ragatha said. I-i should go tell Caine, you should get Jax. Pomni let her stand now. “Go now!” She dashed toward Jax’s room. “JAAAAAAAAAAAAAX?!” She starts banging on his door. Jax swings open the door, tired, angry and vulnerable. “WHA-“ before he could finish Pomni lunged forward and hugged him. Jax’s body froze completely. Pomni stared up at him only able to hug his waist. “A-are you ok? Ragatha said….” She trailed off Jax’s eyes turned misty, he refuses to let go of the glassy smile. “Pomni I’m fine….just leave me alone.” Pomni burst into tears, hugging him tighter refusing to let him go “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, your not ok….your not ok…I can’t…imagine can’t let you go….I don’t want to lose you.”
Jax rolled his eyes “stop being dramatic I’m not leaving……” the pause in his voice was too long. she started crying harder. “Stop hugging me for a second?” he says this, but makes no move to step away from her. Pomni shook her head. “Your not ok…” “You said that like four times now….why care about me?” Jax said wistfully. “Y-your my friend…you’ve been acting different, like you don’t care, deep inside you actually do.” Jax scoffs. “That’s not an excuse.” Pomni threw her hands up in frustration and backs away from the hug “I don’t care! Your hurting….I just want to help….I want you to be…..you know, alive?” Jax’a eyes narrowed, he never liked to be called out. especially like this. “What you gonna do about it Short- Stack? Gonna call your therapist?” Pomni points at him “YOU need a therapist” Jax bent down to her level. “And YOU need a emotional support animal” Pomni turns red with anger. “YOU NEED A HERD OF THERAPY ANIMALS” Jax’s eye twitches starting to get annoyed. “And what exactly am I gonna do with a herd of therapy animals? Make them listen to my tragic backstory, while they munch on carrots? And the color red suits you!” “THANK YOU!” “YOUR WELCOME!” “STOP COMPLIMENTING ME THIS IS SUPPOSE TO BE AN ARGUMENT!” Pomni shouts. “Well IM NOT MAD AT YOU FOR WORRYING” Jax shout back “WHY ARE WE SCREAMING?!” Pomni shouts back. “I DONT KNOWWWW” Jax stomps his foot. “ARE WE SCREAMING OR ARE WE TALKING IM SO CONFUSED” Pomni shouts again. “THE PERSON WHO WROTE THIS LIKES SCREAMING I GUESS?!” Jax said Pomni clutches her head. “WERE IN A BOOK?!” Jax screams back “I DONT KNOW!!!! I JUST SAID THAT CAUSE I WANTED TO!” There was a silence and then they both burst out in laughter. Jax actually smiled for a bit before it widens to a cocky smirk. “Well that was genuinely hurtful Pomni.” He said clutching his chest dramatically. Pomni noticed the change but doesn’t comment. Jax glances at her and sighs. “Pomni…..just…don’t worry….ok?…I’ll be fine” Pomni looks up at him. “Are you sure?” Pomni stares longer. “Jax i-i know your hurting but please just listen to me!” She grabs his wrist, Jax’s eyes flash dangerously “DONT TOUCH ME!” He said not meaning to shout. Pomni flinches and backs away a few steps “I-i’m sorry….” Pomni said tears forming. Jax softens his expression “hey come on, don’t give me that look.” “I’m sorry Jax….” Pomni turns around and makes the most adorable puppy eyes you could ever think of. “…..for trying to help.” Jax’s eyes widen. “Ok, don’t give me that look” Pomni just intensifies it “what look?” Jax foot starts tapping on the floor with soft thumps. “S-stop you making things worst for me” Pomni puts tears in the puppy eyes and sniffles “i-im sorry” Jax throws his hands up in frustration. “AYE! ESTOY PERDIENDO LA PACIENCIA CONTINGO POMNI” Pomni blinks rapidly. “WHAT?!” Jax scratches his head. “I USED TO DO A LOT OF DUOLINGO OK?!” Pomni burst out laughing and Jax blushes in embarrassment. “BREATHTAKING” Pomni and Jax slowly turned around. A small bubble with sharp teeth holding a giant camera on it’s head. Bubble….of course he’d be recording. Pomni and Jax stared at each other for a long time before Jax popped Bubble. Pomni sighed. “So much better” Jax snickered. “Definitely” Pomni looked at the door that was slightly ajar, the same frog, that they mentioned from Ragatha earlier. “So…that’s Ribbit huh?” Jax shifted to his side. “Y-yeah…” Jax said slowly. Pomni turned to him. “Was she…nice?” Jax turned. “Heh the nicest you’ll ever meet.” Jax said shifting uncomfortably to his side. “Well…Kinger isn’t the only one who….lost people…and still cherish them…” Pomni tilts her head….”you….lost her?” Jax looks down to the floor in guilt. “I don’t want to talk about it” Pomni glances at him. Then at the door, then out of curiosity, she dashed out of the room testing the room lock. It was unlocked. Pomni opened Jax chased her. But before he could, Pomni opened the door to Ribbit's room.
