The Wonderful tale of Glorbus
(with bonus content!)

Chapter three: Johnny

Glorbus stared in amazement, as the lizard stared in confuse-ment. Glorbus attempted to replicate the sound using the weird chord things he found in the back of his mouth-tube. But all he could make was a pathetic "mehghp." It would have been way cuter if he could just "meep" like a regular cute lil' thing, but, progress is progress. The lizard gave Glorbus a very sus look.
"What, were you born sexy yesterday or something?" The lizard continued its sounds.
"Booo-r-ruuun." Glorbus tested his strange new abilities! making all kinds of noises with his mouth tube.
"L-rAAAddd" Glorbus expelled
"What are you doing?" The lizard replied
"K-c KleeEeEeEee"
"Stop it!"
"OooOoOppp-ggg-fffff"
"This is weird..."
"Laaa-rrr duh"
"Well, that was almost a word."
"sssssss-uuuuuuss-"
"Egh..."
"EGH!!!!??"
"There ya' go buddy, yes, very sus."
"ssss-uss..." Glorbus deduced that the lizard was attempting to communicate. It sighed heavily and leaped with great skill off the branch and down closer to Glorbus.
"Do you at least understand words?" The lizard said slowly, like he was talking to a baby. Glorbus understood thoughts already, most English words and their meanings. Perk of being a super genius. But unfortunately, Glorbus had no way of articulating that, so he just stared at the lizard some more.
"uhhhg, I really don't want to- ok, so if you can understand, nod your head up and down, like this." The lizard demonstrated, and Glorbus, happy to have some form of communication, did the same.
"oh, wait you could just be copying me again, here, if you still understand, then do that again, nod your head." And without a demonstration, Glorbus successfully repeated the action. The Lizard let out a relieved sigh.
"Ok great, now that plot-hole is filled, all we need is a minor time jump for you to start talking normally." Glorbus reacted in a confusion motion.
6 MONTHS LATER
"Sally sells sea shells by the sea shore. Sally sells shea's shells, Sally's sea shore." Glorbus was improving, but he looked like Audrey Hepburn now, and no one can explain why.
"Good pronunciation, but remember, Sally doesn't own the shea sore... I-I mean sea shore. … Do the rain in Spain one again." Johnny (The lizard) said, embarassed.
"The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plane? But isn't that one from-"
"Never mind that, your improving, but it's not perfect yet." Johnny has been saying that for months now, and it's unlikely he will ever let Glorbus run free with his imperfect vocabulary. Glorbus doesn't mind however, since he has no place to be. Although siting here all day and learning things he already knows, is very boring.
"Johnny, I love learning here, but it's gotten very boring. Can I leave yet?"
"Sure" Johnny replied "But you have to pass my final test!"
"I don't want to do that."
"Oh, well then I can't let you graduate!"
"What if I just leave?"
"Well, I guess you could do that, but what are you going to do when you leave?"
"I don't know, maybe find a real friend? That's what I came here to do." Johnny was insulted by this accidental insult.
"Are we not friends?"
Glorbus shrugged.
"Not really. You kinda just teach me stuff." Another accidental insult, Glorbus was on fire!
Glorbus trotted out past the fence, back into the world, with new skills and abilities. Johnny watched in amazement as Glorbus defiantly crossed the road without missing a beat, or even changing his expression.
"WAIT!" Johnny called out. Glorbus turned his squish lil' head back. "I can't just have you walk out of my life like that!"
"Ok." Glorbus said, turning back.
"But I have to let you go, it's the moral thing to do!"
"Ok." Glorbus turned back around again.
"But I know I can't stand to be without you..."
"Ok." Glorbus Turned back again.
"No, you deserve to be free." Johnny said dramaticly.
"Can you please make up your mind?" Glorbus replied, annoyed.
"I have made a decision:" Johnny said exasperatedly.
"Finally."
"I have decided to come with you!"
"Ok! … Come with me where?"
"Oh, I'm sure you have some important place to be! Out there, in the world!"
"No."
"Well, I'm sure we can find something!"
"Maybe!"
"Come here!"
"Ok." Glorbus trotted back to Johnny, who jumped on his jiggly back like a dude on a horse.
Where will Glorbus and Johnny go? What adventure will they find? What stuff's gonna happen? To who? Why does it even matter? Find out the answers to all these questions and more! Next time I decide to write: THE WONDERFUL TALE OF GLORBUS! (And thank you for reading!)
Bonus!
I like this chapter, I like any time a chapter has dialogue because my characters are silly. Also the My Fair Lady references. If you are a fully cultured eagle-eyer, you may have noticed that I based Glorbus's interaction with Johnny on the recurring SNL skit "Chad" because I like Chad, and I feel like he has a lot in common with Glorbus. Also yes, don't judge me too hard, I was in middle school, but I did, kind of a little bit have Johnny have a little crush on Glorbus, BUT NOT ANYMORE!!! That's not canon, don't go spreading that around, that never happened. (I'm looking at you girlypop. You know who you are.)
