Clyde, still smiling, followed Alaska through the door. He looked back at Snip, who wasn’t following him,
“Is Snip coming?” Clyde asked,
“Sadly... no they can’t. They are pinned to this room. There are other’s like them in other rooms, but we have to leave them here.” Alaska said, watching Clyde’s expression drop, “it breaks my heart to leave them, each and every one of them. But we’ll see another one again, I’m sure,”
“O-okay...” Clyde said, almost on the edge of crying, “g-g-goodbye Snip,” Clyde said, waving a little goodbye.
Snip winked at Clyde, and spoke aloud in the androgynous voice, “goodbye Clyde! I’ll see you soon!!” Cheerfully.
Clyde couldn’t help but let a tear roll down his face as the door was closed.
“Well...” Alaska said, trying to take the focus away from Snip’s departure, “how about I show you a room that not a lot of people get to see?”
“Yeah, sure,” Clyde said, not really listening,
“Hey, Clyde!” Alaska said sternly, she bent down to be on Clyde’s eye level, “we’ll see another Snip at some point, I’m almost sure of it! Plus, you’re getting premium access here, so don’t waste this opportunity!”
“Okay...” Clyde said, he examined what Alaska had said to him.
He knew this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, he wasn’t going to waste it like he always did. He always spent amazing experiences sitting alone not hanging out with his friends, never truly enjoying the experience. This was different, Clyde was going to have the best experience of his life.
“Alaska!” He said, firmly. This caused Alaska to hesitate in her steps, she stopped and faced him, “I’m ready to have fun!”
Alaska looked at him, up and down, then suddenly burst out laughing.
Clyde stood there, confused, and a little awkward. Maybe this wasn’t what he wanted, maybe he really was just a loser.
“No no, Clyde, I’m super happy...” she had to pause to let out another chuckle, “that you want to make the most of this,” she took one deep long breath, “it’s just funny seeing someone with your ‘enhanced physique’ say all of this,”
Clyde looked down, seeing his toned abs, his fluffy chest and crotch hair. His giant python. He realised, it was funny. Someone wasn’t laughing at him, they were laughing with him.
He started giggling, which turned into laughing, then it became hysterical. He fell to his knees.
Alaska, admittedly, was a little confused. This guy really was changing every second, but who knows, that doesn’t seem like a terrible outcome for someone in a candy store that specialised in ‘changing candies’.
Clyde slowly stopped laughing, he was still smiling ear to ear, but he got to his feet.
“So, Miss Alaska,” he started, “where is this premium room?”
