Matt was startled out of his thoughts when he heard a familiar voice.
"Hello, Matty! How are you faring?" It was his alien, come to check on him.
Now? I'm in a square full of people, in a time where talking to yourself is definitely something people are going to notice. And lock you up for.
Matt scurried his way out of the crowd and back to the barn where he'd hidden himself earlier.
"Take me home," he demanded when he thought he was out of earshot of everyone.
"Ohhh… I don't know… You look so funny in that clothing! I find it quite entertaining…! I see you haven't died yet, so it seems you're fairing quite well! Your hair certainly looks better…!"
Matt pouted. "I liked my red hair, thank you very much. It just wasn't very practical for survival here…"
"I also see you've met another alien here. And she kissed you. I must say I'm jealous."
Why are you so obsessed with meee, Matt thought with agony, gripping his hair in his fingers and pulling.
"Because you're perfect…" came her reply to his thoughts.
"Damn! I forget you can hear my thoughts! And stop! I'm not perfect… that's creepy…"
"Oh…"
Matt fidgeted, kicking at the straw on the floor of the barn, "Please let me go home," he begged. "It's lonely here…I miss Dom and and… the band and music and Damnit, Gaga, we're trying to record an album, everyone must be really worried!"
"No one cares that you're gone, Matty," the alien lied. "You don't want to go back there."
"Don't pull that shit on me, Gaga! Haven't you learned that doesn't work anymore?"
"No one's even looking for you. They don't even realize you're gone," she continued.
"Shut up! Ugh if you're not going to take me back, then just go away! I'll take care of myself. Maibrit will figure something out…" he said, hoping that his friend would be able to figure out just where he was.
"I don't feel like leaving though… I quite like watching you struggle in those trousers. They make your bum look so nice…"
Matt shuddered. Ugh. Well if that was the way she was going to be he would ignore her.
He wandered back outside, unsure of what to do next. He realized though, that he was hungry, and he would need to find food somehow. He snuck back out to the market and observed, trying to find a way he could make off with some of the produce without being noticed.
