"Well, the rain exploded with a mighty crash as we fell into the sun, and the first one said to the second one there, 'I hope you're having fun', band on the run, band on the run."

'Left, right, around, above, under, left, left, straight...'
'B, A, Start...'
'When I'm done, I'd better get 30 extra lives...'
We finally came to a stop and sat down by a tree.
I sat down beside them, accidentally startling them.
"What the-? Why are you following us?!?"
"Well, if a very large flock of spooked birds flies away from somewhere, are you supposed to go towards where they're flying away from?"
"..."
"Exactly."
Just then, his possessed "friend" teleported in front of us, levitating in the air.
Luckily, before his possessed body could do anything, he put his hands to his head, fell to the ground, and promptly passed out.
"Is- is everyone alright?" Grayson asked.
"Yup, I think so."
"I don't know what this means to you, but yeah I'm okay." I replied.
"So, I uh, I thought Her-"
I quickly stopped myself.
"Oh right, sorry."
"I forgot; I can't say it..."
"Wait, if I can't say his name, then what do I refer to him as?" I asked.
"Just use 'Him' as his name" Grayson replied.
"Ok, uh, so... I thought Him, er, He, was just a myth, a legend. He's real?" I asked.
"As real as it gets..." Grayson confirmed.
"Oh, say, I never got your name ma'am."
"Mia."
"Ah, I'm Samu-"
"Mia! You can't tell him your- oh great..."
"What? Why? Are you like, wanted or something?" I forced an awkward laugh.
Then they stared at me with an expression I didn't even know existed.
"What? Was it something I sai-?"
"Wait, don't tell me you are actually wanted..."
"..."
"How did you know?"
"Wait, you are actually wanted??? Wow! The odds of me getting that right must be absolutely astronomic-!"
"I said. How did you know?" He demanded.
"It was a guess alright! Cool it, I'm not gonna turn you in."
"Yet..."
"What?" said Grayson.
"Oh, nothing..."
"So, you're not from the Empire?" Grayson asked.
"The what-pire?"
"The Empire." Grayson repeated.
"What? Oh, do you mean the Empire State Building?"
"What??? No, the Empire, you know, the country?" Grayson said, confused.
"The... Empire? Well that's a dumb name for a country..."
"Wait, you've never heard of them?" Mia asked.
"No, I don't think so... is it next to Yugoslavia?"
"Oh, never mind, all you need to know is it's ruled by a cruel, terrible king."
"So, uh, about your friend, Drake, I think it was?"
"Oh, get ready for quite the story..."
