continuing with skit

Haha, I ended that so abruptly. I was being yelled at for three minutes or whatever to go off my iPad (I'm typing on my iPad) and leave to go to that place I go to on Tuesday evenings. And I had to finish my reading assignment. So yeah, I'm here to finish the skit I started last post. 

And when I came home, my parents told me we're going on vacation during spring break. We never could before for just about every previous year, but this year we can. One good thing about today. Cool. c: 

Enjoy lol

Dawn: Is it because of.. I mean do you have a reason for feeling this way?

Duke: Well, you know as well as I do it's hard to control my emotions nowadays. With that whole Fierdan and Soulless thing. 

Dawn: Oh.. is it because you know that now? Though it's inevitable either way, you shouldn't let it affect the time of life you have left. 

Duke: It's hard not to feel depressed about it. Knowing that information.. yeah, I don't know exactly when that day will come, and I'll try to not get to that point for all of your sakes.. but I can't just ignore it. And besides, my mind is basically broken at this point. 

Dawn: It didn't happen yet. You're not mentally broken. 

Duke: Yes, I am. Stop denying it, you know it's true.

Dawn: You're talking to me in a civilized way right now.

Duke: For now. Who knows how long it'll last? In a minute from now, I could get lustful thoughts again, or want to kill us both. I'm pretty lucky that my own thoughts have communicated effectively all these minutes we've been here. I can't control when they come and go. 

Dawn: *walks over to Duke and holds his paw* Look, you're making me feel sad. You should do something to take your mind off these things.

Duke: What's the point? I can't just do that, Dawn. You know that. I'm gonna break apart till I die, and there's nothing that can stop that from happening. I'm gonna die in the next few months, and it's inevitable. How the heck can I ignore that fact and be happy? Maybe I could if I had only my own thoughts occupy space in my brain, but I don't. 

Dawn: You shouldn't waste the rest of your life doing nothing. 

Duke: What life, Dawn? What life are you talking about? I'm not like you guys. I'm not living like you guys are, okay?  What don't you understand? You linked me to knowing all of this, you know. 

Dawn: Why did you want me to come?

Duke: Don't be stupid. You're the only one who has a sense of understanding. You know why I don't have the motivation to do anything. It's just all depressing really.

Dawn: No, I actually don't. 

Duke: The death date. That's why, okay? It's been Fierdan. He hasn't really explained to me why he wants to die so badly. I don't want to die. I don't want Soulless to win. 

Dawn: Duke, part of who you are is Soulless. If you die or live, they win either way. Your death is inevitable.

Duke: But why? Why can't I live to be 15? I don't want to die so soon. Especially not like that. You have to prevent this, Dawn. Twinkle can't. 

Dawn: You have a few months to go till your birthday. You have time. Live your.. existence in the meantime. They're gonna start worrying over you sooner than you'd want to. You don't want her to know yet, don't you?

Duke: No, I'm not ready to tell her yet. This is our secret for now. 

Dawn: You have to tell her one way or another. It'll be worse if you don't.

Duke: I know that. I'm just not ready right now. 

(Someone knocks on the door.)

Twinkle: Hey, you guys alright?

Duke: *whispering under breath* No..

Dawn: We're fine, Twinkle.

Twinkle: Okay.

Duke: Wait, Twinkle! 

Dawn: *turns face towards door to Duke* 

Twinkle: Yeah? Should I come in?

Duke: Oh.. no. Just.. um.. go away from me. I'm not ready..

Twinkle: Oh..

Dawn: Enter the room right now, Twinkle! 

Duke: What the heck are you doing, Dawn? I told you to go away, Twinkle! Get away from me! 

Dawn: Enter right now, Twinkle.

Duke: No, I'm not ready! Don't let me do it.

Dawn: You have to tell her, Duke. It's her right to know.

Twinkle: Umm.. I already know about what you guys did. Do you not love me anymore? Or not at all?

Duke: What? No! This isn't about that! I'm begging you to get away from me because I love you! 

(Twinkle enters room.)

Dawn: Duke is counting down the days to his death date. 

Twinkle: What does that mean? Is that why you've been acting so.. unlively recently?

Duke: Yeah, I guess so. 

Twinkle: What's a death date? 

Duke: It's a date when you supposedly die inevitably. They're planned in advanced.

Twinkle: How long did you know this? How far in advanced do you know the death date?

Dawn: For a few months. One at least, I believe. 

Twinkle: Wait, you've got to be joking. Duke, when did your bomb start ticking off? 

Duke: When it finishes, I'll be dead. It started from the Night of the Black Flames.. I think. 

Twinkle: This is why you're depressed, isn't it? 

Duke: I'm not depressed. I still have feelings, I just don't find life meaningful for me anymore. I'm gonna die in just a few months, so what's the point? 

Dawn: What's the point? You can't pretend you're dead when you're not. You're still alive for at least one reason. Don't throw it all away, Duke! 

Duke: Fine, I'll leave then. *gets up from couch* 

Twinkle: Duke..

Duke: I told you to go! You're making it so freaking hard to know you're safe. You're way more valuable than me. 

Twinkle: No, don't say that. We're both equally valuable. They were wrong! 

Duke: Shut up! *leaves room slamming door behind him* 

Duke: I was right. They wouldn't understand. If they can't, then no one else could. Darn it! *kicks wall*

Finny: Oh.. hi. You okay there?

Duke: *angrily kicking wall* Hey, why not tell you all too? Why not tell the whole world? 

Finny: Tell us what? 

Duke: *stops kicking wall* I can't focus to do anything else because I can't bring myself to think about anything else. I'm gonna die soon. I have my death date set. Well, now you know! Now leave me alone! *leaves Sparkle's place* 

Duke: *walking away* I'm sorry.. I never wanted my death wish to be answered.

.....

Well, this skit's done now. 

Bye.
