Everything around me... just pure darkness. I couldn't feel anything - just mere conscious. What am I this time? Where am I? Am I an embryo? Am I within an egg like when I was a lizardman? Or am I within a body like when I'm a human?
I couldn't help but felt the excitement.
Suddenly, I felt my body tremble, yet I can't seemed to move. Do I even have any vision? By the "looks" of it, I guess not. As I searched further, I realized that... I'm outside, dangling. I'm connected to something... I can feel a flow of energy from the large... tree? I'm a tree? No, I'm attached to the tree- wait. What am I???
Am I a-
"Hmmm..." Eh? Somebody's here? I can hear something, coming closer towards me. Then, I felt my body being poked. What the heck?
"Ahh!"
And suddenly, a sharp pain! Now I felt disconnected from the large tree, and I suddenly gained vision.
IT'S A FUCKING MOUTH. IT'S GONNA EAT ME!!!
"WOAH WOAH WOAH HOLD UP! HOOOOOLD UP!!!" I quickly screamed from the bottom of my lungs- do I even have lungs- trying to gain attention and hoping that whatever that's going to eat me will stop... and it worked! Yay!
"...huh?" It's... a monkey? Oh my god! "...my imagination?"
"NONONO. NOT YOUR IMAGINATION. I'M TALKING RIGHT HERE, CAN YOU SEE ME?!" Ah. What am I saying. How could I, something that's grown from the tree, a food for the monkey, have any faces to show him?
"...I must be too hungry. I can see a face on the apple," Wait. You serious? I have a face? HOLYSHIT-
"Yes but NO! I'm NOT an apple!"
"...what?"
"I'm a FROOT!"
...
...
...
Well. To be honest I'm pretty happy with my announcement... but the monkey obviously found it NOT funny and decided to-
"HOLD UP. HOLD UP."
"I'm not gonna talk to my food," Damn. This monkey is damn chill!
"WAIT! I CAN HELP YOU!"
"...help me?" Alright. He finally stopped. WHEW.
"Ok. I'm a froot, right? Or an apple - however you view me - BUT HERE'S THE THING! If, think about this, you can find a place to plant me... I can grow roots!"
"...aaand?"
"And I can become a tree! Duh! I can grow MORE fruits! ...or apples. Whatever I am."
Hah. Not often that I saw a monkey frown... that's interesting. And he's clearly thinking about this!
"...and how long do I need to wait for you to bear fruits?"
"Weeeeeeeell..." That's, a good question, dear smarty monkey. Why are you so smart? If I'm a normal fruit, perhaps it'll take months or even years to grow into a tree, BEFORE I start to even bear any fruits. But eh... "I'm not a normal fruit so... Probably an instant?"
The monkey raises an eyebrow. "You... sure?"
"...ehhh... not really. Oh come on, it has a lot of factors, alright? The water, the weather, the land, the nutritions- AHH HOLD UP HOLD UP WAAAAAIT DON'T EAT ME I'M GETTING TO THE BEST PART HERE!!!"
"...I don't REALLY have much patience, little apple. I'm very hungry here."
"Right right..." Damn. This is nerve breaking. I don't really want to DIE before I can even try to LIVE dammit. This is possibly the WORST reincarnation experience EVER. Or maybe not. The pig one might be worse than this... But eh. "Think about this: If you really managed to get me a good place, I might be able to grow in an instant! As the old ones said - Never try, never know!"
"...hmmm..."
"I mean, seriously, obviously this is the first time you met a talking apple, right? So surely you never tried planting a talking apple, right?" Yeah, I just knew that there're talking apples... if I'm not born as one. Seriously. "So try it out! And if I don't meet your expectations - eh, you'll know next time what to do with a talking apple, right? But hey, this time. Just this one time. Please?"
"...fffine..." The monkey seemed reluctant. Well... honestly speaking? He should! I don't even know if I can even bear fruits or even grow into a tree like this. But, I'm a fruit right? From a fruit tree, right? Surely I can become a great tree and bear equal quality fruits too!
...wait. Equal quality fruits as in... more talking apples???
Nonono. Let's not think THAT far...
But hey, at least now the monkey seemed persuaded, and started to bring me around to search for some good places... wait. Is that tree winking at me?
< Good job, young one. >
Eh?
EHHH?!?!?!
YOU KNEW I WAS IN TROUBLE AND YOU DIDN'T HELP ME?!
< It's not that I don't want to help you... I j--- c---ldn't---m-ve--- Oh, ---line -s v-ry- bad---can't-----m--- l--ger---
So yeah, good bye little one~ Good luck~ >
EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH~~~
OBVIOUSLY YOU HAVE A GREAT LINE AT THE END?!?!?!?
"The heck..."
"What were you saying?"
"Oh! N-Nothing! Keep looking! Keep looking! Ahahaha~"
And this is where my journey to search for a rooting place began.
I wonder how many people will be, uh, rooting for me.
