Mewwy Chwistmas. <3 X3!!! Also for the submission thingy. Just finished it abruptly; time was running out. ><;
Lights
The world is a pretty place
The sweet, melodic voice hovered near me, as I stirred momentarily.
What is your point?
The dusky rose creature flew nearer, and I could easily see the wistful desire hidden within the bright, cobalt orbs, staring at a planet I would not go to. The cat then stared at me quizzically, with simplicity and innocence wavering around.
Dont you want to go?
I thought about this question carefully, before ignoring it with my usual silent disposition. It was a question I asked myself one too many times, and it haunted me to no end. Unfortunately, my reply was conspicuously absent.
Its really pretty around Christmas
The cat remarked happily, emerging from the shimmering pink bubble it had proudly created. I watched bitterly at the planet, before staring fiercely at the cat that had just begun to dance around in a void of space.
How can you dance at a time like this? It is a foolish day, an excuse to cover up the hatred that is numerous there
It let out a soft giggle to my harsh reply, a sweet and harmonic sound that stunned me to no end. Through the layer of obsidian, I could make out the luminous sparkle glittering with joy. It was the cats own happiness following it.
But the colored lights are so pretty!
I blinked, perplexed by this childish demeanor coming from a rarity itself. The planet was indeed dotted with fluorescent decorations, but shaded areas still never ceased to exist. Satisfied by this little error, I turned smugly towards the creature.
One mustnt forget the dark
By this, I indicated towards poverty, greed, envy, and the overwhelming imperfection staining the planet. To my surprise, it smiled softly, flying directly in front of my face. I could see the maturity deep inside of it, yet the brimming optimism and jubilance delicately spreading out the balance.
But one mustnt forget the light either
It said this in a steady tone, before letting out a laugh and dance again. Confusion aroused, as I snarled with instant anger and vexation.
You are treating me as a child
My telepathic message dripped with abhorrence and the unmistakable loath I had for this cat. It stopped dancing abruptly, and slowly turned around. Once again, those eyes dug into me, tenaciously gripping me tight as I scraped up the last remnants of my patience to tolerate the latest statement.
You are one
It was a given fact, as I flinched under these words. The creature merely fluttered an eye before dancing once more. I was speechless for a second, disgruntled and confused.
How would you know?
The creature stopped again, and I must have irritated it, for it let out a sigh.
You were made from me, Mewtwo
I gave the cat a disgusted look, shaking my head. My paw trembled slightly as I lifted it up, seeing the light shade of violet compared to its shimmering cerise.
So?
Tears swam up in the cats eyes, sparkling in the midst of the cerulean. Guilty conscience aroused then, as I tried shrugging it off nonchalantly. It was a terribly difficult task I faced, before it stared wistfully at the planet. I tried avoiding facing it, but the lights entranced me in a way. Perhaps it was pretty, or I was just doubtfully blind temporarily.
I cherish you
I turned to the cat, watching it stare at the planet intently, as if examining it. The air was mute again, a serene hum of silence lingering around before the cat finally spoke again, this time with its voice a bit happier.
You and I, Mewtwo, we are no different
I nodded once, this judgment keener than before, where I had originally perceived the smallest. It was a simple fact, a given one, as I stared up to the cat with a yearning for something I could not word. I almost envied its happiness, the joy I wished to transpose, but perhaps we both had something each other lacked.
How can we not be?
It smiled once, a flicker of mischief producing a corpulent, beautiful shadow in its eyes before dying away.
The planet is pretty, no?
I blinked, mystified by the abrupt change in topic.
Maybe, maybe it isnt
Unsurprisingly, it laughed; a thin, sweet and high pitched sound echoing through the starry space.
The lights are also pretty, its always pretty around Christmas
I nodded in response, thoughtfully gazing at the small planet that had achieved in short time.
Christmas is always celebrated with lights?
I inquired, unaware of the cats covetous smile.
Its pretty, isnt it?
Feeling a bit foolish, I nodded quickly, and then turned haughtily away in hopes of covering up my unusual agreement earlier on. I had a feeling it was too late, but just as the creature knew, I was satisfied. I was relieved to hear it laugh at another one of my reply of absence, for its aspect of amusement was much differed from mine, yet I appreciated it all the same.
Merry Christmas
I stared at the creature, digesting the words.
What do they mean?
The cat tilted its head once, sustaining its balance in mid air, before floating down playfully.
It means to celebrate your day with happiness and satisfaction, sharing it with loved ones and to wish others your respect and the sincerity you have for the world. The two words mean more than just the holiday, but a meaning in and of itself. It means to forgive, forget, and accept the world for what it is. It shows another year is coming to an end, to show the gratitude of the existence all our hopes flooding into one place.
It paused, oblivious to my incredulous stare.
Imperfection can lead to such things?
The cat laughed, but nodded willingly, as it gracefully made the descent for the planet. Unknowingly, I followed.
We all have different ways of explaining it
I took this as a given fact, hesitating before blurting it out.
Merry Christmas
It took this as a given fact as well, smiling contently as we both fell.
You too
