Summary: Pineapple-head and Killer-achoo are trapped in a rectangle. PESCHE SAVES THEM BECAUSE HE IS AWESOME.
Find a tree, Pineapple-head had told him. And then the rectangle had gotten quiet, no matter how much he shook it. Or maybe it was because he shook it. Oh no, had he killed Pineapple-head?? Nel would be so unhappy that he had accidentally killed Pineapple-head. Sure, he wasn't her beloved Itsugo and she wasn't even here but...that didn't matter. She would be disappointed.
"Please be alive, Pineapple-head, Killer-achoo!" He curled the dead fingers of the dead shinigami's dead hand around the communicator, held tight to the wet end, then lifted it up as high as he could, almost expecting a bolt of lightning to strike it and make them LIIIIIVE again. It did not happen. But, Pesche realized, this was a very neat pose to stand in. On his tiptoes, on top of a tree, his arm stretched out as if he could pierce the heavens with his mighty Rectangle.
What he would do if he broke into the heavens, he did not know. Probably get some ice-cream! Or find Uryuu Ichigo and bother him again. Pesche considered both options, and decided that he would have some ice cream and then find Ichigo. He'd been so much fun to play with!
Wait, what was he doing up here instead of getting ice cream? Oh, yes, waiting for Pineapple-head and Killer-Achoo! to make their way out of the communicator. Would they be big? Or would they be tiny? Pesche would take good care of them if they were tiny! They could ride on his shoulders, and if anyone bothered him, he could fling angry Shinigami at them. How nifty! But, amusing hijinx aside, perhaps the two of them could be persuaded to help him find Nel and Dondochakka. Dondochakka could take care of himself, Pesche was sure, but Neliel-sama could be in very big trouble if she wasn't found. She was very small when she was a child, someone might step on her or try to eat her!
Pesche had to get Pineapple-Head and Killer-achoo to help him find her. Three heads, Pesche had learned during his time in the desert, were far better than one.
