Skips' Story
(Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby are on the house roof with Skips. They are roofing the house together.
(Song: Roofing by (Y/n), Mordecai and Rigby)
♪Roofing, roofing
Protect from the elements, rain, snow and hail
Got an armful of tiles, and a nail gun that nails
No time to mingle when we're putting down shingles!
Whooooooooooaaaaaaaaa!♪
Skips checks his watch. "Alright, fellas. Time for lunch." He said. Skips digs into his cooler. "Ok, got one for Mordo." He tosses a sandwich to him. "One for (Y/n)." Skips tosses her a sandwich next. "Rigby, think fast!" He tosses a burrito at Rigby, but instead of catching it, it only hits Rigby in the face. "No!" The burrito plummets to the ground, its contents splattering all over the place. (Y/n) and Mordecai laugh. "Should've gone for it, dude." Mordecai said. "Awww! If I was immortal like Skips, I would've gone for it." Rigby said. "Yeah that would be awesome." (Y/n) said. Skips hands over a sandwich to Rigby. "Being immortal must rule, right, Skips?" Rigby asked.
"Nah, not really." Skips replied. "Wait, really? How is it not cool? You get to live forever dude! You got forever on your side and nothing can stop you!" (Y/n) said dramatically, and Skips chuckles. "I bet you could survive the vacuum of space though." Mordecai said. "Gotta breathe. Being immortal doesn't change that." Skips said. "Ooh ooh, I got one! Swimming one hour after eating." Rigby said.
"That has never killed me." Skips said. "Wow." Mordecai & Rigby said, and (Y/n) only scoffs a little. "Well duh, if you're immortal then nothing can kill you, right?" (Y/n) asked. Skips eyes her for a moment. "Okay, okay. If somebody cut off your head, put it into a jar..." Mordecai said. "Look fellas, you got this immortally thing all wrong." Skips said. "Hey, how did you become immortal anyway?" (Y/n) asked, curiosity in her eyes as she looks at her friend. "Nah, you don't wanna hear that." Skips said. He drinks a soda. "Awwwwww!" The trio said in disappointment. "Come on, please?" (Y/n) begs, throwing in her puppy eyes. "Yeah, please?" Rigby asked. The trio begin to badger Skips until he finally gives in. "Alright. I'll tell you how I got my immortality." Skips said. The trio high five each other. "Yeah-yuh!" They said. "A long time ago, in a high school far, far away..."
~Flashback~
A sign out front labels a school as Bennett High School. A few students are seen milling around out front, and a voice is heard addressing someone inside. "Mister Walks." Headmaster Bennett said. A young Skips, named Walks is seen sitting in a chair, looking bored. "According to your permanent record, you've been expelled from three schools this year alone. And this was due to," Bennett lowers the permanent record folder. "Fighting and pugilistic tendencies?!"
He glares at Walks, who looks down at his nails, disinterested. "Yeah, I might have done some of that." He said. "Well, one fight at my school, Mister Walks, and that means expulsion." Bennett said. Walks puts his hands up to his face, pretending to be afraid. "Ooooh! School's worthless to an adventurer such as me!" He said. Bennett pulls himself up out of his seat. "This is your last chance to graduate, Walks. Do you wish to remain a scoundrel or better yourself? Gareth!" A young Gary opens the door, causing Walks to turn his head. "Yes, Headmaster Bennett?" Gary asked. "Show Walks to his locker." Walks is shown kicking open the door on his way out, which Garreth gently shuts behind him. "I don't need your help, Gareth.
I can find my own way around." Walks said. Gary runs to catch up with Walks. "Wait! Walks, I cast no doubts upon your navigation skills, oh great adventurer!" Walks rolls his eyes. "But do you know how to navigate socially?" He asked. They burst through a set of doors, Walks exclaiming a loud 'Woah!' at what he sees before him. "Walks, follow me." They begin to walk around as Garreth points out everything. "Over here we have the athletes and cheer directors. " A group of people are seen standing around with props. There is even a guy dressed up as a dodo bird.
"And over yonder, bookish types." A group of boys are seen standing around, looking at books and observing different things. "Hark! I hear some dramatics." Gareth said. "Alas, poor yorick." A student said. "And there's the goths, mobs and settlers." They are shown the respective cliques. "Here's my clique." They see five floating men. "We welcome you, we welcome you!" They sung. "On behalf of the Immortal Student Council - and Glee Club - welcome to your locker, Walks!"
Walks goes to his locker. "You should join us." Reginald said. "Why?" Walks asked. "Nothing wins you more respect in school than student government." Suddenly, Klorgbane The Destroyer tackles Reginald hitting him on the locker. "Reginald, Reginald heads as big as a shed-ginald." He turns his head around at The Guardians of Eternal Youth. "Hello immortal student council, how are we today."
"Oh... I need a new diaper." Boswald said. "Uh, please, brother Klorgbane, no wet willies or wedged underclothes today." Reginald said. "Yeah, leave them alone." Walks defended angrily. "Eh, who's this, who dares interrupt Klorgbane?" Klorgbane said. People become shocked as they gather around to see Walks and Klorgbane face to face. "I'm Walks. You don't scare me." Walks said. "Leave them alone or what, Walks? Huh?"
He pushes Walks. "Or what?" He pushes him again. "Huh?" Walks pulls his hair up and pushes Klorgbane, as they look at each other and get ready to fight. "Nobody touches me!" Headmaster Bennett walks in. "What's going on here?" Walks and Klorgbane sweep away the dust on their clothes and turn around on Headmaster Bennett. "Oh nothing, we're just getting to know each other." Walks lied. "Yes, looks like we're really going to hit it off." Klorgbane giggles. As Headmaster Bennett looks at them he walks away to the hallway as Klorgbane turns around at Walks. "This isn't over." The crowd along with Klorgbane walks away. "Nobody's ever stood up to Klorgbane before." Reginald said. "Walks never walks away from a jerk." The Guardians of Eternal Youth look at each other having an idea.
~Present~
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa! You went to high school with all those guys?" Rigby asked in disbelief. "Yeah we have a long history together. What'd you expect from a bunch of immortals?" Skips asked. "Wait, how did you get your immortality?" Rigby asked curiously. "I'm getting to that. So, lunch time rolled around, and it seemed like everybody already had their tables all figured out." Skips said.
~Flashback~
The story continues with Walks entering the cafeteria with his food and trying to find a table until he sees a girl holding an apple. "There's a spot right here, you're welcome to dine with me if you wish." Mona said. "I eh.. eh." A young girl eats an apple as Walks looks at her a little paranoid. "Do you wish to dine with me?" Mona asked. "Oh.. Uh eh eh, beg pardon uh yes thank you I...I was just." Walks said. "Starring vacantly in my direction." Mona said. "Ho, ho, ho you caught me eh, eh beg pardon again." Walks said. "My given name is Desdemona, but you can call me Mona." Mona sad.
"I'm Walks, as in..... well Walks it is far as my name was shorted." Walks said. "Oh... you mean to say that no one calls you Alks?" Mona asked. "Hard to believe that big name never took room." Walks said. He drinks the soup and suddenly spits it out. "Ugh, 'tis terrible!" Mona laughs and wipes the soup on her shirt with her napkin. "You must be new here, no on eats the school lunch that can be avoided. Somehow the kitchen even ruins Apple Brown Bette." Mona said. "Really? How does one even do that?" Walks laughs. "There are only four ingredients." Gareth and the council go up to him. The council is holding portraits in hand. "Walks!" He said.
"Huh?" Walks asked. "My baby friends and I have a proposition for you." He replied. "What sort?" Walks asked. "We'd like to formerly request that you fight Klorgbane." He unfolds a chart. "We believe it upon examination of this chart." Gareth said. "No need, I was going to fight him anyway." Walks said. "Oh, splendid." Reginald said. "To assure Klorgbane's defeat we've begun a design of a device called" Griswald reveals the design. "The Fists of Justice, which will-" he began. "Call off your design. All the fists I need reside in my pockets." Walks said.
"Hear them out, Walks. Archibald holds a very convincing illustration." Gareth said. "Like us, Klorgbane the Destroyer was created immortal." Archibald said. He unfolds a picture of Klorgbane's creation and immortality. "He therefore cannot be defeated by a mere mortal." Reginald unveils a picture of how Walks' mortal battle would play out. Walks whistles in amazement. Another guardian appears with a picture. "However, with the proper weapon, a mortal of your strength and skill may prevail." Oswald said. He has a picture of Walks besting Klorgbane with The Fists of Justice. "Let me see that." Oswald gives him the picture. "Hmm, I'll consider that." Walks said. "We do hope you will." Gareth said, then he bows to Walks and they walk away. "Anyway, at my last school..."
He turns to find Mona has disappeared, but to find Mona's eaten apple on the table. "Mona?" Mona walks out of the cafeteria. "Mona! Mona, wait up!" Walks runs and catches up to her and places his hand on her shoulder. "Hey, what happened back there? I turned around and you were gone." He said. "I heard what you're planning." She said. "I know, you were sitting right across from me." Walks said. "Well, I didn't like it. I thought we had a special connection, Walks, but I'm not into men who fight. So, fare-thee-well." Mona said.
"Wait, no! I don't fight." Walks shows his hands to her. "Look, no fists." He said. "Very funny." Mona said. "No, Mona, please! Forget about the fight. We do have a connection. Let's just get to know each other, go for a canoe ride, perhaps." Walks said. "I'm not really into canoes, either." Mona said. Walks holds up the eaten apple. "You left this on the table." Walks gives it to Mona. "You know, I'm not really into litter bugs. But I was willing to reconsider for you." He said. Mona laughs.
"If you really get to know me, we could use another set of hands making decoration on the prom committee. That's where I spend my free time." Mona said. "Where do I sign up?" Later at an auditorium, students are working on the props for the prom committee. Walks comes in and sees a banner that says "Enchantment Under the Sea" "Mona, everybody wants to know what's the prom theme this year?" The drama teacher asked. "Well, it's an undersea-theme. I envision the scallops over there, and over here..." Walks pops out, surprising Mona as she screams. "What's a-happening, Mona?" Walks asked.
Mona laughs. "Oh, it's just you, Walks. Come down from there, help me with this." Walks comes down from a woodwork table and walks with her. "Do you know anything about tools?" Mona asked. "Of course. I am a great adventurer." Walks said. "How many adventures have you actually been on?" Mona asked. "Oh... a lot. I chased storms with a fellow named Samson some years back." Walks said. Mona gives Walks a hammer. "Well, this adventure is called hammering two pieces of wood together." She said. Walks, pounds a nail with the hammer, but it gets damaged and he groans. "Walks, it's not just about force. Take your time.
And if your aim is true, then..." Mona helps Walks pound the nail with the hammer correctly. "The nail is driven in." Walks said. "Mona, him? Seriously?" Klorgbane sneered. "What do you want, Klorgbane?" Walks asked. "To finish what we started." Klorgbane and Walks get ready to fight, but Mona shakes her head sadly and walks away. "Uh... Klorgbane, you're not worth it! I won't fight you!" Walks shouted. Mona looks at Walks. "What?!" He asked. "I said, I won't fight you!" Skips turns around. "You won't or you can't? Coward!" Klorgbane walks out of the auditorium. "Walks, that was so brave!" Mona said as Walks is panting. "You used words instead of violence." She said. "How about these words, Mona? Do you wish to go out with me tonight?" Walks asked. "Oh, um, alright." Mona said. "Splendid! See you at 7:00." Walks runs out of the auditorium. "Wait, wait."
~Present~
"Your story was just about to get awesome, and now it's a mushy romance? I'm sorry Skips, but... Pffft!" Rigby said, and Mordecai punches him. "Ow! I bit my tongue!" Rigby said, and (Y/n) giggles. "Skips, please continue." She said. "So, with his power unchecked..."
~Flashback~
The story continues with Klorgbane watching Headmaster Bennett walking by. "...Klorgbane did what he wanted. Bennett was clueless." Skips said. "Ooh, what's that on your cravat?" Klorgbane punches the dodo bird guy, turns his dodo head and kicks him to the ground. "To flee or not to flee! Aaah!" Klorgbane lands and sits on the Dramatic students as he laughs evilly. "Rrrgh!" Skips growls furiously. "Walks."
The Immortal Student Council and Gareth appear. "Reginald, what am I to do here? Something must be done about Klorgbane, but if we fight, Bennett will expel me and Mona will lose interest in me. Oh, high school is so complicated." Walks said. "But Walks, you must. It is for the greater good. Mona and Bennett will forgive you once they understand." Reginald said. "And this you promise?" Walks asked. "Our promises are as great as gold. After all, we are the student government." Gareth said.
The Immortal Student Council all agree. "Please, Walks. You are our only hope." Reginald said. "Hmmm, alright." Walks said. "Wonderful!" Reginald said. "Our people will contact his people and set up a fight time and place." Gareth said. "And it will not conflict my time with Mona?" Walks asked. "Of course not." Reginald said. "Fine. Now begone!" They disappear. "I have a date." Walks said.
Later on Walks and Mona are on their date at Ye Olde Cheezer's and working on the props for the prom while the Immortal Student Council work on the Fists of Justice. Walks and Mona are in the hallway as she is skipping in front of him, then the Immortal Student Council coo down the fists with water, Walks and Mona tease each other by putting paint in each other's noses, then the Immortal Student Council screwes the fists together, Skips and Mona play with the seahorse props, then the Immortal Student Council wipe the fists, Walks and Mona kiss behind the seahorse prop as the Immortal Student Council finish the fists and Walks and Mona skip along and spun together.
~Present~
"Wow Skips, that sure was a pretty long and detailed date." (Y/n) said, and her best friends laugh as Skips rolls his eyes playfully. "Very funny, kid." He said. "Whoa, the babies finally finish the Fists of Justice! Finally, we're getting to the good stuff!" Rigby said. "Eh, eh, eh, eh, eh. So, we spun, and we spun, and we spun, and we spun." Rigby groans, and (Y/n) laughs. "Then, we skipped, and we skipped, and we skipped..." Skips continued.
~Flashback~
The story continues with Walks and Mona skipping in the hallway. "Okay, we skipped around the school three times, and I'm starting to cramp up." Mona said. "Oh, come on, one more loop?" Walks asked, and Mona giggles. "I'm gonna have to start calling you Skips if you keep this up. I really should go before the bell rings, though." Mona said. "Wait, Mona, before you go, I have a gift for you." Walks gives Mona a necklace with a heart-shaped locket on it.
"A gift?" She opens the locket to reveal two pictures of her and Walks. "Oh, Walks, I love it!" She said. "Remember that time there was a bee on your hat, And I let you sit still for what felt like eternity until it flew away?" Walks asked. "Yes." She replied. "That was no bee! I only told you that so I can take you a photograph." Walks said. "You got me good. Help me put it on?" Mona asked. Walks puts the necklace on her neck. "There's just one more pressing matter." Walks said. "Students! Is there not someplace else for you to be?" Bennett asked. "Quickly, what is it?" Mona asked. "Will you go to the prom with me?" Walks asked. "Of course I will!" Mona said.
They kiss as Headmaster Bennett grunts in disgust. "Oh, Walks. You made me so happy that I shall skip for the rest of the day." She skips to class as Walks sighs happily, then the bell rings. Later in Latin class Walks quickly walks in and sits on his desk. "Slates at the ready for dictation, class. E pluribus unum lorem ipsum sit amet duis lectus quis dui viverra vestibulum..." the teacher said. A piece of paper flies at Walks as he looks at Gareth, who looks back, then he opens the paper to reveal a note. "Friend - The fight is set for Saturday at 8:00 p.m. Same time as prom. Will you attend?"
Gareth, that is the worst possible time!" Walks scolded. "This is the only time that Klorgbane is available. He's surprisingly involved in a lot of extra curriculum." He replied. "But this will ruin everything with Mona!" Walks said. "You can still take her to the prom. Simply say you have to go to the bathroom and then sneak out for the fight. You can come right back for the-" Gareth continued. "Walks, Gareth, eyes and ears in the front of the room." The teacher said. "Behind the auditorium at 8:00. We'll bring the fists." Gareth said. Walks groans and checks "yes". Saturday night, a horse carriage pulls up at Mona's house. Walks licks his hair, walks to the door and knocks. Mona's dad answers it.
"Well, well, well, you must be Walks." Mona's dad said. "That's correct, sir." He replied. "Desdemona, your date's here." Mona's dad shouted. "Be right down!" Mona said. "Take your time. You're growing up too fast." Her father said. "Dad!" She scolded. "Are you new in town, Walks? I don't remember you from Desdemona's earlier classes." Her father asked. "Uh, no, sir. I just switch schools a lot, because I keep getting expelled." Walks said. "Oh, I see." Her father said uncomfortably. "Here she comes!" Mona's mother said. Mona comes downstairs in her prom dress,
looking beautiful and still wearing the necklace. "Oh, Mona, you wore it!" Walks said. "I'll always wear it." Mona's mom comes in and tries to wipe a mole off her face. "Mom!" She shouted. "Oh, Mona, you just got something on your face." She licks her finger and wipes the mole off of Mona's face. "Stop!" Mona shouted. "I just don't want you to look like trash on your prom night!" Her mother said. "She looks beautiful, even with the junk on her face." Walks said and Mona giggles. "Let's go." She said. Walks giggles and they walk out the house to the prom. "Take good care of her tonight. Don't forget she's someone's little girl!" Her father shouted.
"Don't mind him, tonight is going to be perfect." Mona said. Later the couple are at Prom. "Lets keep it clean tonight, Eugene. I don't want a repeat of last year." Bennett said. Walks and Mona walk inside the prom. "Isn't this so magical? I don't mean the bows, but our decorations are not just the epitome of Enchantment Under the Sea?" Mona asked. "Oh, they are. I truly do feel there's someone riding the waves of the dream." He looks out a window to find the Immortal Student Council as one of them looks at Walks. "And I have the entire weight of the ocean upon my shoulders." Walks said. "Yes well, we all interpret the theme in our own ways." Mona said.
"I am sorry Mona, I could use a refreshment. Would you like some refreshment? I will give us some refreshment." Walks runs to get punch for her. "Alright." Walks fills up a cup of punch as he looks at the clock and it's almost 8:00, but Walks accidentally overfills the cup, and he walks back to Mona who gives her the cup of punch. "Here you are, Mona. I drank all mine before I can make it back to you uh, it seems to have made its way through my system at the pace of steam engine. So now I really need to use the bathroom if you'll pardon me again." Walks said. "Walks, it's not even remotely possible for punch to digest that quickly." Mona said. "But you see, I..." Walks trails off, and Mona suddenly gasps. "Do you not absolutely love this song?!" She asked.
"Uh..." Walks said. "♪Let's dance in style. Let's dance in a while.♪ Come, waltz!" Mona said. "No, I don't particularly..." Walks said. "Is this why you've been acting so strange?" Mona asked. "Uh, yes." Walks lied. "Don't be silly, some of the greatest adventures can be had on the dance floor!" They slow-dance along with other prom dates as "Forever Young" by Alphaville plays. The Immortal Student Council, Gareth and Klorgbane, who is checking his pocket watch, are waiting outside for Walks' arrival.
"It is 8:00! Where is my opponent?!" Klorgbane shouted. "Walks will be here." Archibald said. "Do not worry." Reginald said. "But just in case, I'll go give him a reminder." Gareth said. Walks and Mona continue slow-dancing. "♪I want to be...♪" Walks sees Gareth knocking on the window. "What is it, Walks? Is something amiss?" Mona asked. "WALKS!!!" Gareth shouted. "No, everything is perfect. I just..." Walks said. "Oh Walks! The photographer has arrived. Let's pose for a prom portrait! Come on! It only takes 10 minutes." Mona said.
They walk to take their prom picture. "Uhh..." Walks said. "Enough! If Walks will not come to me, then I will go to him!" Klorgbane shouted. "Klorgbane, no!" Gareth shouted. Klorgbane knocks him to the ground. Walks and Mona are standing still for their prom picture. "Are you sure all is well? I can't help but feel that you are trying to escape." Mona said trough her teeth. "No, of course! I am exactly where I wish to be." Walks replied in the same way. Klorgbane bursts into the auditorium.
"WALKS!!!" Klorgbane shouted, and Walks gasps. "Did you think I wasn't going to come looking for you?!" He breaks a seahorse prop with his knee. "Think you can just be a no show?!" He breaks a jellyfish decoration with his fist. "Oh!" Mona said. "Our fight started at 8:00!" He smashes the camera with his fist as the photographer runs away. "A fight? But Walks..." Mona said. "It wasn't meant to unfold like this, Mona! I'm sorry!" Walks shouted. Klorgbane gets to Walks and throws Mona out of the way. "Mona! Klorgbane!" Walks shouted, and Klorgbane laughs evilly. "So you're the instigator, Klorgbane! Get out of my school!" Bennett shouted. "You blind old fool! Don't you see, this is my school!" Klorgbane shoves Headmaster Bennett to the floor.
"Somebody do something!" He shouted. "Walks!" Mona nods her head sadly, allowing Walks to fight Klorgbane. "KLORGBANE!!" He runs to Klorgbane and punches him rapidly, but no avail. Klorgbane punches him on the face repeatedly. Gareth holds up the Fists of Justice. "Walks, the Fists of Justice!" He shouted. "Uh, a little busy right now, Gareth." He avoids two of Klorgbane's punches. "Let me at him!" Archibald shouted angrily. "Archibald, don't be a hero! Immortal Student Union - and Glee Club." Reginald said. "TALLY-HO!!!" Immortal Student Council said as they fire their rattles and walk to aid Walks. "Deliver the fists!" Reginald said.
"Fists of Justice, eh? Well, I've been busy in metal shop, too." Klorgbane said. He takes out a black spike with a black rope and red electricity on it, and swings it to hit Walks, but he avoids it. The Immortal Student Council and Gareth get closer to him, but he hits them with his spike, making Gareth drop the fists as everyone runs away. Walks jumps on him, but he grabs Walks and head butts him to the floor.
"Walks!" Mona shouted. Klorgbane smashes the table with his spike while Walks avoids it. "Give it up, Walks!" He shouted. "Walks never walks away from a bully." Walks said. "Don't you see, Walks? I rule this school and everyone in it! You're a fool to challenge me." Klorgbane chuckles. "I've waited a long time for this." He aims his spike at Walks, and is about to hit him with it. "WALKS!!!" Mona pushes Walks out of the way, saving him, as the spike hits the wall, missing him, and it cracks to the ceiling as a piece of it falls on Mona, killing her. "MONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!" Walks shouted. Gareth grabs the Fists of Justice. "Walks, the fists!"
He bangs the fists twice as they fly towards Walks and he grabs them with his hands. The Immortal Student Council cheers, then Walks runs to Klorgbane as he tries to avoid Walks' punches with his spike stick, but he punches him with the Fists of Justice, sending him flying to the wall. Walks walks to him. "No, no more!" Klorgbane shouted. "Agreed! No more! No more fear, no more bullying, no more Klorgbane."
Walks strikes the final blow on Klorgbane, punching him and sending him to the stratosphere. "Mona, Mona!" Walks gasps. Reginald finds the necklace in the debris as the locket shines, and he shakes at Walks sadly. He sheds into tears, about to cry. "She was the only woman I've ever loved." Skips said. "I had a few rough years after that." Years later, Adult Walks, Adult Gareth and the Guardians are in the Guardians of Eternal Youth's Realm. "And then one day." Skips continued. "Whoa, nice pad." Walks said.
"It's not bad. We split rent five ways. Walks, by our calculation," they show Walks an image of Klorgbane's orbit heading towards Earth. "Klorgbane's orbit will return him to Earth 157 years from now. He will harm others. Brave Walks, will you become immortal and fight him when he returns?" Reginald asked. "I'll do it." Skips said. "But... immortality has a price. You will outlive your family. You will see loved ones come and go." Reginald said. "I've already lost the one I loved." The guardians nod sadly. "Now, choose a name to be reborn on to." Walks nods and thinks in his head. He remembers the memories he and Mona spent time including, Mona's feet skipping in the hallway, the scene from Diary, him and Mona skipping along and Walks' feet skipping. "I've chosen Skips." The guardians grant him immortality.
~Present~
"Dude, that was kind of a downer." Mordecai said as his eyes watered, and so did Rigby's and (Y/n)'s. "And did you even graduate? Cause you didn't even say you—" Mordecai punches Rigby. "Ow!" He shouted. "Well guys, break's over. Go downstairs and grab some more shingles." Skips said. They walk through the window into the attic, (Y/n) is able to follow, but Skips calls her back. "(Y/n), wait." She turns and looks at him. "Can I talk to you for a second?" Skips asked. She looks at her best friends for a second and they nod before they left the duo alone. "Okay, sure..." she sits back down next to him. Mordecai sighs. "Man, I'm so glad I am not immortal." He said.
"Yeah, man." Rigby said. "So... what do you want to talk to me about?" (Y/n) asked. "Well, since I shared my story of how I became immortal, I thought it was only fair for you to share something with me." Skips said, and (Y/n) furrows her brows. "Oh, the whole 'secret for a secret deal', huh?" (Y/n) asked playfully, and Skips chuckles. "Yup." He said. "Okay... what do you want to know?" (Y/n) asked,
and Skips sighs, then turns to her with a serious expression. "Where did you come from?" He asked, suspicion was heard in his voice a tad and (Y/n) froze at the question, then sighs. "I..." she avoids eye contact with him. "I don't remember." She said, and his eyes widen. "Wait, what? You don't?" Skips asked, and (Y/n) shakes her head. "No, my earliest memory is just being lost and stranded on my own as a little girl. Until eventually I found this park, by then I was fourteen. Pops was the first person I met in this group. He introduced me to Benson who then decided to hire me. I've worked here ever since." (Y/n) said.
Skips raises an eyebrow. "So you were all alone before you met us?" He asked, and she nods. "Even as a child? You didn't have a family or anything? What about your sisters?" Skips asked, and (Y/n) sighs deeply. "I didn't even know that I had any sisters. I didn't think I had any family." (Y/n) said, looking off into the distance. "That's crazy, everyone has a family." Skips said. "Well you know what I mean." (Y/n) throws a rock from the rooftop. "I've been alone for most of my life, at least until I met you guys, so would it really be that surprising?" (Y/n) asked Skips.
Skips tenses, then sighs. But then turns to her and smiles. "Well, you're not alone anymore." He smiles at her a little and she smiles back. "Yeah, you're right." She said. "But back to your question, I have no idea where I came from. I wish I knew." (Y/n) said sadly, looking at the ground. She then looks back at him. "What made you curious?" She asked. "Well, I've been noticing some strange things about you, kid." Skips said. "Strange? Like what?" (Y/n) asked.
"Well, for example, back when we got our stress sucked out of us, you were the only one who didn't." Skips said, and her eyes widen. "You're right! I was never affected! Of course I was still attacked, but only because I tried to save Benson." (Y/n) said. "Of course that's just one example. I'd like to know more but I've hit a dead end." Skips said. "I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful." (Y/n) sighs, feeling guilty, and Skips looks at her. "Nah, it's fine. I'm sure we can figure this out." Skips said, and (Y/n) smiles slightly. "Yeah." She said.
