"Okay, then." Cocoa grinned. "But prepare to be freaked!"
He sat down comfortably in front of the fire, leaning foreward so that the flames created patterns on his face. Pyo floated beside him, a few inches above the ground in his excitement."It was a dark and stormy...erm...day.", Cocoa began. Pyo glanced up at the sky. There were no clouds. He rolled his eyes. Cocoa would do anything for a bit of drama. "Pyo and I had decided to take a nice walk along the beach. We walked through the surf for a while, but that got boring. So we decided to climb on the rock formations lining the sand. I'm quite a good climber", Cocoa said with a touch of pride, "and Pyo isn't bad either. So it was no surprise that we got to the very top of the rocks. We could see for miles, it seemed!"
"From our vantage point, I spotted a large cave that we hadn't seen before. I wanted to explore it...but Pyo didn't seem to like that idea, for some reason. So...I went down there anyway. Pyo followed me, like I expected." The Candle Lubshi crossed his tiny arms and turned his head away. "The cave was pitch dark", Cocoa continued, "but that didn't stop us! We kept going. After a while, we couldn't see a thing. That's when we heard the voices."
"They were whispering, arguing about something. Me and Pyo inched a little closer. Suddenly, the voices stopped.
'What's that?', one said.
'I think it's him!', said another. Before me and Pyo could even begin to wonder who 'him' was, someone tackled us and pinned us down. We tried to strike back at them, but nothing we did did anything to them! That's how we knew they were ghosts", Cocoa explained. "After some struggling, they began arguing about what do do with us.
'It's not him, and there's two of them...what should we do?'
'Leave them be, they're young.'
'No! Then they'll tell everyone we're here!'"
"Me and Pyo could tell that there were three of them. Three against two wasn't good for us. But while they were arguing, me and Pyo managed to dash for safety! And here we are now." Cocoa finished his story rather abruptly. Pyo was shaking from the memory, but still rolled his eyes when Cocoa said, "C'mon, aren't you impressed?"

I listen to the wind
to the wind of my soul
Where I'll end up well I think,
only God really knows
I've sat upon the setting sun
But never, never never never
I never wanted water once
No, never, never, never
I listen to my words but
they fall far below
I let my music take me where
my heart wants to go
I swam upon the devil's lake
But never, never never never
I'll never make the same mistake
No, never, never, never
