4 Around in Circles

CHAPTER 4 AROUND IN CIRCLES It's so dark. Why is it so dark? It seems to be getting darker... Don't you think it's REALLY dark?

YES! GREAT OBSERVATION! IT'S DARK! WHAT DO YOU WANT? A COOKIE? OBVIOUSLY, IT'S DARK. Give me a break! I'm TERRIFIED! Everyone's gone. Even Shark! But we can't give up! If we just keep searching I KNOW we'll find them. We're getting CLOSE, I can feel it. Oh really? We're getting close? Then how do you explain THIS...

The escape pods?! But that means...

It MEANS we've been WALKING AROUND IN CIRCLES. Listen to me, Wolf... I'll admit it, PART OF ME really does want to be a hero. It's true. Part of me really, really does. But you know what I've learned from following you around on all these stupid missions? Do you know what I've learned from every ridiculous situation you've put us in? DO YOU?

I've learned I'm not a hero. I know you want me to be one... But I'm really, really not. I know YOU want to be a hero. And who knows— MAYBE YOU ARE. But I also think that you're CRAZY. And I think, one day, you'll make just one too many stupid decisions and you WILL go and get yourself eaten by an alien. And, Wolf?

I think that day is today. I've never had a friend before, Wolf. And even though I do call you an idiot kind of a lot... I know that you're the best friend I'll ever have. And I don't want to lose you. So... Please get in the escape pod with me.
