THE WEEK OF THE COMET
or How I Became Teratosexual

Chapter III
==============
"If you like ramen noodles so much, you're gonna love college."
In the end I still don't know how much they understand us. When I talk to Gary, he understands, but I wonder if all he sees isn't just some cavewoman going 'HABUABUABUAH.'
Nevertheless I chewed the fat the whole ride to Yellow Forest and it's a fond memory, and you're gonna ask:
Ester, did you sing a song at some point?
Of course we did, fuck you.
The little shit woke me up at 6am. Gnawing my feet and my hair. He was hungry.
He ate. I didn't know what I was gonna do with all these packets of seasoning powder.
If only eating was the only thing he did. I thought I could leave him in front of
Peppa Pig
, just ten minutes, just a shower. When I came back I found the fridge open, my laptop had blue screened of death, all the dirt from my potted plants was spilled on the floor, and the couch was on fire.
Anyway. My hair smelled like smoke but anyway. He was eating on the passenger seat and I was talking.
I did some thinking out loud. Planned my day out. One-hour drive. One-hour walk to the temple. It's (
Fuuuck, kill meee
) 6:48am, so I could be back for lunch. Left me two hours for--I blushed--feeding Big Pinkie.
I talked about Olivia.
Relationships between futanari are either all-out war or sisterhood, there's no middle ground. We have such an unhinged sex drive we have to bond over it if we don't want to resent each other like people after a bad breakup.
Obviously I left out the sex drive part; I told Gary how one night she cried on my shoulder because she was homesick.
Luv this fut'.
I mentioned her because my walk down to the car this morning should have been covert and uneventful, with no one around to notice Jigglypuff in my backpack, but no no no no no, of course we intersected with Miss Olivia Baker. Of course she liked to jog on Sunday morning. She looked like a fucking fitness video from the nineties.
"Hey, Ester, what's up?"
"Oh my God, Livia, what are the odds?"
"You're up early, what the fuck?"
"Haha. I didn't sleep," I lied.
"Oh, I see."
wink wink
I threw the backpack into the car. It squeaked but I was already fastening my seatbelt, slamming the door, starting the engine, saying, "Seeya." Yes, all at the same time.
She watched me leave in a plume of dust.
And here we were, me talking to Gary. About exam week; about how anchovies are my favorite pizza topping; how my great-great-uncle died squashed under a grand piano, like a cartoon character; how they had recently discovered another Antikythera mechanism off the coasts of Ireland. Also apologizing to him in some way, because I was just a kid like him and I couldn't take care of him. Especially if he kept trying to set my apartment on fire, or kept lovebiting my hand every time I changed gear. (They drive sticks in Capparosรฆ.)
The only time I didn't bombard him with my blabbing was when I flipped through the radio channels for a good song and heard the news that the king was in the hospital.
Apparently Leupold VI had had a stroke. Political leaders all over the world were sending their support. Except for the Prime Minister of Latvaria, who died last week.
Anyway, after that, we sang, Gary and I, and you haven't truly lived until you've had a kid slime peep along with you to Mariah Carey.

8am on a Sunday morning, the parking lot was deserted.
It was already seventeen degrees out here, not a cloud in sight, it was going to be a nice day.
Celsius. Yeah.
I perched Gary on my shoulder, set my GPS, and ten minutes later I was cursing at the pair of sneakers I had to wear since some doucher had kicked my hiking boots into a lake.
I see you on campus I deck you!
The long walk to the temple was a long talk. Again interrupted once:
We heard a low hum, which got me looking around and then looking up. To the point that I almost started to believe, for a second, that some kind of giant hornet was flying over us. And then there it was, hovering right ahead. A drone.
Not the kind you can buy on Amazon. Definitely military.
It locked on us, for like five seconds, before steering away.
I said us but Gary crawled out from under my jacket after it was gone, I'm pretty sure he had hidden in time.
"You know what, Gary? Ever since we had this comet up there, people around the world see UFOs everywhere. More than usual, I mean. So now I guess we have the answer: it's drones they see."
I walked on, reconsidered what I had just said.
And thus I added, "Unless there are drones
because
there are UFOs out there."
Moving onward, ever deeper into the woods, I observed the silence becoming inescapable, the flowers getting scarcer, and my nervousness growing. I talked till the end. Until Gary hopped down my shoulder and walked ahead of me, calling out for his...tribe?
There was the clearing a few hundred yards away, I could see the blue sky filtering. It was a matter of minutes now. In five minutes I would ditch the kid and get my dick sucked. But that's not what happened.
