"I need something to write about!"
He walked in circles with his arms crossed, his long ears were
flapping as he pondered...
"Why you need write, Roo?", his friend muttred. His english was even
more broken than Roo's, since he had spent most of his life speaking
ibidian, the mother tounge of these small creatures.
"I need write...", Roo replied, "I need to write because I got it as
a mission from Rox, my friend."
The roughly three feet tal creatures were standing on a hill in their
home, the Lands. The sun was hidden behind some dark clouds, but
their helmets stll reflected the light that reached them.
"Oh", the other creature, Ipswitch, hissed out. "So Rox need help in
school. Yup." His terrible english would make an English man's ears
fall off. Roo just hissed back and kept strolling around aimlessly.
They were ibida. Ipswitch and Roo, three feet tall with 2,5 feet
long ears and rat tails with mushroom caps on the tips. Roo looked
around nervously, his eyes were glowing red, indicating that he was
either angry, worried, or both. Ipswitch just grinned and started
rummaging around in his bad. All ibida have bags, in wich they keep
the stuff they steal. Yes, steal. Ibida are natural thieves. They
actually steal their helmets directly after birth.
Roo perked up and hissed, "What are you doing, Ip?"
Ipswitch pulled out two plates with grasshopper legs and spider
gravy. Roo grinned, revealing his yellow, pointy teeth. "Dinner!"

The sun had set and the eyes of the satisfied creatures gleamed in
the dark. A high-pitched noise was heard from afar. Suddenly, Roo
hissed loudly. "Oh heck!! I still have not figured out what Rox
should write about!"
His lazy friend opened one eye with the words, "Why you not skip
that? Do not bother, Roo! Relax..."
Roo jumped up and climbed onto a nearby rock.
"I cannot, Ipswitch!", he hissed, "Rox is my friend! He needs to
have something to write about!!"
Ipswitch placed himself next to his stressed pal, Roo, and put his
short arm on his shoulder. "It's okey friend. We'll come something
up. Indeed", he said confidently.
Moments later, they were both fast asleep.

Rox's house, the next day. Rox was sitting in his bathrobe, reading
a comic, when the doorbell rang. He went over to the door and opened
it with a smile.
"Hello, Rox", was heard. It was Roo. Rox smiled even more and said,
"Hey, Roo! Nice t'see you! Did you come up with something for me to
write about?"
Roo looked down.
"Hey, what's the matter, little fella'?" Rox put his hand on Roo's
head. Roo looked up again, revealing a frown.
"I could not find anything. I am ssssorry..."
Rox raised an eyebrow, clearly showing that he was wondering why.
"Well..." Roo explained, "I and Ipswitch was trying to come up with
something for you, but we had a great, huge meal and fell asleep...
I just woke up. I am really sorry."
Rox giggled, not showing any worries. He looked down at the little
ibida and smiled.
"It's ok, Roo. Just tell me what you remember about yesterday, and
I think I'll be fine..."
