Fourth chapter uwu

Another sunny day, like every one those days, our brave (except for Cactus-thing) travelers were on the country road full of joy, or something -- maybe they were drunk or hallucinating for the scorching heat.

Every day it was more obvious that they were closer to Justdesert, as the climate was hotter and dryer, but there was still a long way to go: like the desert they were starting to cross. For some reason, Cactus-thing was strangely feeling great compared to his friends -- I mean, she was half cactus LoL--:

- How can it be that you are still all shiny and stunning? -said Miss Fernsby suffering the heat- Look at how hot it is!!

- I don’t know -replied Cactus-thing-, I just think it is not that hot… 

- It’s not that bad, I myself am perfectly fine -claimed Mawio, while he was holding on and melting.

- Well, I am tired, and thirsty!! May we stop??

But they could not, as they were going to melt if they stood in the middle of the desert. They continued the road until the sun went down and then they lied in a circle, around a fire, and tried to rest.

But they didn’t last long:

- Dear, God, holy Christ!! -cried Miss Fernsby- Is there no normal temperature here?

- I don’t know what you are talking about - said Mawio literally shivering from the cold.

- I personally feel… -started Cactus-thing- Nothing. A little bit cold but… 

- AM I THE ONLY ONE GOING  CRAZY RIGHT NOW!?? 

- You may be -said Mawio trying to hide his tremors.

The next day, when they woke up, they found that Mawio was frozen, literally, frozen. So they had to drag him all the way until they found another pub (that obviously popped out of nowhere). 

- Helloo -tried to be kind Miss Fernsby in the door-, you see, dear friend, we have a “frozen-boy”-case here. Weren’t you so very, really, super kind to let us come in?

- Well, yes of course.

- May I come in?? - said Miss Fernsby.

I-  just said you could..?- but she… he... non identified gender was not saying “you may”.

Sorry, I don’t understand… May I come in?

- Wh -they were confused- Yes, yes you may.

- Aaaaahh - she finally understood - Well, thank you, nice one.

They started to treat Mawio with hot water to melt the ice slowly, but the poor cute boy was still unconscious.

Miss Fernsy had to be absent for a moment to talk to the hotelier about costs:

- I don't want to sound rude - said the hotelier- but MoNeY.

- Ow, of course -Miss Fernsby checked her pocket, there was less and less money every time she checked it. 

She was the only one who had money between the three of them when they started the trip, so she was the one who paid kindly every time it was needed. "Was". Soon they would not have money.

- Of cooourse, mOnEy -she repeated going with them.

In the meantime, Cactus-thing was watching Mawio opening his eyes.

- Mawio, Mawio!! You are waking up!! I'm so happy-

Mawio took out a cutter and cut off her hand. She cried.

- Ah, you're just the cactus-thing. I thought you were something to be afraid of.

- I MAY BE AFRAID OF YOU. WHY DID YOU DO THAT?? -screamed holding her... no hand.

- Neeh -he said indifferently- Don't play the victim, you woke me up, I could have been in danger and I defended myself.

- That fair -said Cactus-thing-, I guess…

- Don't worry -Mawio tried to comfort her-, a friend of my uncle's uncle had no harm, and he's fine. I think...

That friend of his uncle's uncle, who also lost his harm to Mawio, wasn't fine.

They noticed that from the no-hard there was coming out no-blood, it was… water…? And from the water popped another identical hand.

In that moment Miss Fernsby entered the room with the heart broken and less MoNeY. At least we are going to have a good rest…

- Nah -said Mawio again-, I slept enough. Let's continue.

- What? -she thought about the money she spent to rent rooms for the night- Miss Cactus-thing, you did not sleep nor eat… you are with me, aren’t you?

- I'm also feeling well. Let's continue.

- WHAT? But… But…

Mawio and Cactus-thing stood up, but Miss Fernsby grabbed her by the arms:

- You are not hot, you are not cold, you... you are not thirsty,... What are you?!

- I think I’m a cactus.

- And she may be immortal…-added Mawio confused.

- Ah -responded Miss Fernsby calmly-. That explains a lot of things. Let's continue then.

And so, they continued the journey. And Mawio froze again two times and get burned  in flames once.
