REQUIEM FOR A FRIENDSHIP: AN ODE TO LAMBO AND LARGE.
THIS IS A DRAMATIC POST ABOUT HOW I AM DEEPLY TORN APART INSIDE BY THE DESTRUCTION OF THE BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN LAMBO AND LARGE. I WAS PROMPTED TO WRITE THIS AT THE URGING OF PART_B. BUT DO NOT BE DECEIVED: JUST BECAUSE THIS POST WAS A TRICK OR TREAT DARE DOES NOT MEAN THAT THESE ARE ANYTHING BUT MY PURE AND SINCERE FEELINGS.
THE CAPSLOCK THING IS TOTALLY JUST BECAUSE OF TRICK OR TREAT, THOUGH. STILL STUCK WITH THESE UNTIL ABOUT 3PM.
FRIENDSHIP.
INNOCENCE.
BETRAYAL.
TRAGEDY.
HOW DID IT COME TO THIS? THIS IS THE TRAGIC STORY OF LAMBO AND LARGE, TWO GOOD FRIENDS WHO WERE OVERCOME BY CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND THEIR CONTROL. (IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT, IT WAS ALL I-PIN'S FAULT. OPENING THAT FUCKING WINDOW AND ALL. COULD IT BE THAT SHE WAS JEALOUS? THE WORLD MAY NEVER KNOW FOR SURE.)
ANYWAY, ONCE UPON A TIME, THERE WAS A BOY NAMED LAMBO.
HE WAS A SWEET CHILD, AND CAPABLE OF BEING CUTE ON RARE OCCASIONS, MUCH TO EVERYONE'S SURPRISE. ANYWAY, ONE DAY, LAMBO MET A JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL TRANSFER STUDENT NAMED O. LARGE.
SOME MAY QUESTION THE INTEREST THIS STOIC AND ROTUND YOUNG MAN IMMEDIATELY TOOK IN A FIVE-YEAR-OLD CHILD, BUT REST ASSURED THAT THEIR LOVE WAS QUITE INNOCENT. EXCEPT FOR THE PART WHERE LARGE WAS SECRETLY PLOTTING TO KILL LAMBO AND THE REST OF HIS FAMILY ALL ALONG. BUT IT TOTES WASN'T HIS FAULT, GUYS, HIS BOSS WAS MAKING HIM DO IT.
ANYWAY, SO YOUNG LAMBO AND LARGE SPENT THEIR DAYS PLAYING WHATEVER RANDOM GAMES THAT FIVE-YEAR-OLDS WITH ADD ARE WONT TO PLAY. THEN, ONE DAY...
TRAGEDY STRUCK. ;_;
YES, IT SEEMED THAT LARGE WAS NO LONGER WILLING TO BE LAMBO-SAN'S SUBORDINATE. TRULY THIS MOMENT WAS A BLOW TO THE HEARTS OF MANY, BUT IT WAS NOTHING COMPARED TO WHAT WAS TO FOLLOW.
LOOK AT HIM, STRUGGLING SO VALIANTLY TO REMAIN CALM IN THE FACE OF THIS STAB TO HIS PRIDE AND TRUST. TELL ME THAT DOESN'T BRING A TEAR TO YOUR EYE. ...NO, WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? I DON'T BELIEVE YOU. STFU, IT'S TOTALLY HEARTBREAKING.
LARGE TRIES TO EXPLAIN THAT "IT'S NOT YOU, IT'S ME. AND MY BOSS. BUT MOSTLY ME."
BUT LAMBO AIN'T HAVING NONE OF IT.
IS HE DELUSIONAL? YES? HE'S ALSO FIVE FUCKING YEARS OLD. TO REITERATE: STFU. LORD KNOWS THE PITIFUL REMNANTS OF HIS HOPES AND DREAMS WILL BE SHATTERED SOON ENOUGH.
SEE?!?
AND THERE IT IS. THE MOURNFUL CRY OF A BROKEN-HEARTED CHILD WHO HAS LOST EVERYTHING. T_T
EVEN NOW, HIS TEARFUL EYES LOOK UP HOPEFULLY WHEN LARGE SUGGESTS THEY PLAY A GAME OF SUMO. TRULY A CASE OF "FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU, FOOL ME GOD-EVEN-KNOWS-HOW-MANY-TIMES, SHAME ON ME," BUT STILL QUITE PAINFUL TO WATCH.
EVEN LARGE CAN'T BEAR TO SEE LAMBO INNOCENTLY BESEECH HIM AGAIN AND AGAIN, SO HE DEALS A DECISIVE BLOW IN THE HOPES OF FINALLY ENDING THIS TERRIBLE SCENE.
IF ONLY. T_T
BUT FATE, IT SEEMS, WAS NOT THROUGH WITH THEM YET, FOR WHO SHOULD APPEAR BEFORE THEIR EYES THEN BUT TYL!LAMBO? FOR A MOMENT, IT SEEMED THAT PERHAPS THESE CRAZY KIDS REALLY COULD TURN IT AROUND AFTER ALL.
THEN OUR HOPES WERE DASHED ONCE AGAIN:
YES, IN A CRUEL TWIST OF DESTINY, TYL!LAMBO'S MEMORIES WERE TAKEN FROM HIM BY A BLOW TO THE HEAD. NO LONGER DID HE REMEMBER HIS GOOD FRIEND LARGE, WHOM HE WOULD ONCE HAVE DONE ANYTHING TO WHORE JUST THE TINIEST BIT OF ATTENTION FROM.
IN HIS PLACE WAS A YOUNG MAN WHO NO LONGER CARED TO GIVE LARGE THE TIME OF DAY.
LARGE POURS HIS HEART OUT TO HIM, AND ALL HE RECEIVES IN RESPONSE WAS "MMM, YOU'RE NOT A CHICK SO GTFO." THE "NGH!" YOU SEE AFTERWARD IS NOT JUST A SOUND OF FRUSTRATION, BUT THE SOUND OF HIS SOUL RIPPING IN TWO.
AND SO IT WAS THAT THESE TWO YOUNG MEN, ONCE THE DEAREST OF FRIENDS, WERE PITTED AGAINST EACH OTHER IN A MATCH TO THE DEATH. WITHOUT A DOUBT THE SADDEST THING EVER TO HAPPEN IN KHR. BE SURE TO TUNE IN IN A FEW DAYS FOR THE NEXT CHAPTER, BUT BE SURE TO BRING PLENTY OF KLEENEX. YOU'LL NEED IT.
