Day One: Morning

[Super Buu]

?If only I hadn?t joined you guys?if only I had just stayed home that day?you would still have your brother?I have ruined everything??

With that, Violet ran, leaving the rest of the troupe in stunned silence. Nobody seemed to know what to say, so Super broke the ice.

?Oh jeez ?? he sighed heavily, his wide shoulders slumping. He started to jog after her, giant body carrying itself with an easy speed. He turned round, his hand outstretched as a ?stop? sign to the others who were getting ready to follow. ?Stay here!? he ordered. ?Don?t move from this spot. I?ll be right back!? With that he turned and sprinted, following his charge into the depths of the forest.

He slowed down as trees engulfed his position. ?Violet!? he yelled, a mixed look of concern and anger etched across his face. For all he knew he could already have run past her, or she could have gone away. The island was a big place for someone to hide. ?Damn it, Violet, why did you choose now to have your period??

Growling, he sat down and despaired, bent over with his hands gripping the back of his head. He stood up and roared suddenly. ?ARGH! She could be anywhere!? He stamped the ground with his brown boots, raving. ?This is all my fault! I should have kept a better eye on her. She?s only a fucking human, she?ll get herself killed!?

As he shut up for a second to think about his next course of action, Buu?s ears - or, hearing receptors - perked up. A sound, like someone crying, was coming from nearby. ?There it is again!? he whispered, as another sob racked the air. Raising his voice, he bellowed, ?VIOLET! It?s me, Buu!? He paused. ?The cooler one!?

A pause. Then, a faint call; ?please ? don?t come after me.? A rustling through the brushes indicated someone getting up and moving.

The words only filled Super Buu with a stronger desperation, as he trampled through the dense undergrowth, nearly tripping on wayward vines and having to push away hanging branches with his hands. ?Violet!? he called again, hearing movement up ahead. ?Slow down!? He growled in pain as a branch whipped into his eye before rushing onward, hands in front of his face.

Ahead, the girl ran, tears streaming from her face. She couldn?t deal with anyone else right now, she just wanted to be alone. Unfortunately, however, her pursuer was determined. A hand reached from behind, snatching at her arm and catching her off-guard. He gasped, ?let go of me!? before spinning and detaching the appendage. She made it about a foot before she was caught again, this time in a firmer grip.

?Slow the ? fuck down ?? panted Buu, looking badly like he needed a rest. One of his eyes was bloodshot, as if it had been hit by something. Then, seeing that the girl had finally stopped trying to run, asked, ?what?s the matter with you people??

Violet just turned away, apparently unwilling - or unable - to talk.

?Listen,? the monster began, ?I?m not an expert on human emotion. I never really knew Piccolo ? or whatever his name is now. But I can tell you?re upset, otherwise you wouldn?t be running off into the forest like this. What I?m saying is ?? he paused, squirming with discomfort, ?maybe it would be better if you ? talked about it??
