Chapter 3: The Dogaphant in the Room

	Serenity sighed in frustration. She didn't want to deal with the dog after witnessing Matthew slaughter the "Figure" by the name of "Moonstone."
	"Oh okay, super dog, you basically ate a part of the remains of someone, I hope you're happy." Serenity clenched her fist, squeezing the shards in her gloved hand.
	"Oh really? I do not understand half of what you are saying. However, I feel as if you view me as someone who is iniquitous." TobyJoey replied with a blank stare.
	"How do you not know the word "remains" but you know words like "iniquitous?!"" Serenity yelled, making nearby birds scatter.
	"Firstly, iniquitous, adjective. To be characterized by injustice or wickedness; wicked; sinful." TobyJoey sat down, and had a goofy smile on his face. Serenity stared at the super dog in disbelief.
	"Okay then, TobyJoey, you have enough sass in you for two dogs, so you should feel bad. Secondly, I don't know the rules of this, but you technically ate somebody's dead body! You are iniquitous, and the name "TobyJoey" is awful." Serenity wore a smug expression and crossed her arms.
	"W-what? But, b-but, I am very offended by you-" TobyJoey was interrupted by himself launching a form of light from his mouth. The light was in the shape of a bone, and hit Serenity in the eye.
	"What was that for?" Serenity yelled at him, staggering from the blow. She brandished her baton at the dog. Unfortunately for Serenity, the attack was blocked by a pink shield shaped like a flying disc.
	"I don't think I should question this anymore. I still don't know what you exactly are though" Serenity sat down with the dog, slowly petting him.
	"Me neither! I'm having an identity crisis right now! Like, I, er, we, we were two dogs. Now we are I, and I ate a rock shard, so that must mean I am two dogs and a rock!" TobyJoey exclaimed.
	"Okay, TobyJoey. I still don't like that name, it reminds me of..." Serenity paused. She examined the dog(s), taking in his hair color and the likes. She thought about when the user "MusicalKitty" told her the story, one person commented on the story. That person was known as "TobyJoey." After putting the pieces together, Serenity screamed.
	"Oh gee, is it really that obvious?" TobyJoey tried covering his face with his paws, as if he was embarrassed.
	"Yes, well, not until now! Now, we are really going to have to call you something else or I'll vomit every time I hear that name." Serenity clenched her fists, then released her grip, remembering about the shards in her hand.
	"Well, maybe an anagram of "TobyJoey" will suffice. The name consists of one T, two O's, one J, one E, and two Y's, which can make..." TobyJoey sat down to think "Um, I can't think of anything, maybe call me, or us, Grant!"
	"Okay, forgive me if I am using this word wrong, but "Grant" is quite ersatz for a name." Serenity couldn't stop herself from smiling.
	"That's correct! It is ersatz as "Grant" is a mere substitute for a real name for now! Now, call me by Grant, despite its erstz-ness!" Grant laughed. "Anyway, I haven't asked for your name, I hope it's not Grant, because I'm not going to change my name again!"
	"Oh yeah, I should have mentioned it earlier, but I am Serenity! However, I am sometimes referred to as "Female Forte"" Serenity watched as Grant's jaw dropped to the ground.
	"Oh my gosh, I thought you lived in America! Well ain't it funny that we met?" Grant wagged his tail violently.
	"Nope, I live in Europe. Though I'm disappointed that you know words like "iniquitous" and "ersatz," yet you used the contraction "ain't" in your previous statement." Serenity said. Grant stared at her with a blank expression, and started rolling around.
	Serenity laughed at the dog's shenanigans, and stared into the sky, with it's calming citrus orange hues. She started to slowly pet Grant, pondering on what to do next. Then it hit her, and she screamed.
	"Grant! It's eight-thirty!" Serenity ran around, screaming relentlessly.
	"Yes, indeed, eight-thirty is around the time the sky gets beautiful. Every time I stare at it, I get the sudden urge to cry..." Grant watched as the sky's oranges turn into lovely blues.
	"Anagram, you do not understand! I had to get home three hours ago!" Serenity continued panicking, until Grant stopped her.
	"Hey, you're not three, you don't need to be irrational. Well, if you're being irrational, you'd be acting like a 3.14159265 year old child. Get it? Because Pi is an irrational number?" Grant chuckled, but stopped when Serenity gave him the death glare.
	"Oh no, I forgot to laugh. Anyway, you are coming with me, because you are probably a homeless dog an I am a very nice person!" Serenity bragged, "Oh yeah, can you also carry me there? I live in that one cathedral with all of those old people playing Cribbage."
	"Oh really? I love that one! All the old people gave us snacks and attention and the loved us and-" Grant started hyperventilating from excitement. A large, pink platform similar to that of a flying disc appeared under Serenity and Grant's feet. The platform started rising into the air, and "threw" itself, hurdling at the chosen destination at high speeds. Serenity held onto the flying disc with her life, closing her eyes due to the high speed of the winds. However, the platform started slowing down, and fell to the ground after not moving at all for about one minute.
	"Grant, what happened?" Serenity said in awe as the platform disappeared from underneath the two.
	"I don't know, these things just started to me for some reason." Grant answered.
	Serenity grabbed and held Grant in a fireman's carry (despite the dog weighing about twenty kilograms) and carried him up to the door of the cathedral. However, she was unfortunately met with Delilah, the elderly woman that Serenity promised to.
	"Serenity, you have no idea how much I worried about you! I know that you can fight, but you can't be out here too late, you know that the more dangerous people come out at night!" Delilah scolded. She ran to Serenity as the fastest speed she could safely go at, and came into a hug.
	After the hug, Delilah noticed the elephant, or rather dogs, in the room. She simply had to address the dog(s) in the room.
	"Oh who is this gentleman?" Delilah looked into Grant's eyes, "Well at least you brought my goddaughter home!"
	"Oh, his name is Grant, it's kind of a long story. Like if it was a book, it would be about two chapters long." Serenity laughed nervously, then picked up Grant.
	"Oh okay, you better not be dating that dog though. They never shower, and never even use deodorant, poor disgusting creatures." Delilah walked Serenity and Grant into the cathedral. She took them both up to a small room on the ground floor. It had two beds, blue wallpaper, and a small closet with a television sitting on it.
	"Um, Serenity, if you want a better room, you can always tell me, this room isn't the best looking one here." Delilah politely offered.
	"Delilah, I couldn't do that, this room holds a lot of sentimental value to me" Serenity sat down on the bed with thick red sheets, and proceeded to pull out a small laptop from her closet.
	"Okay, if you ever change your mind, just tell me!" Delilah walked out of the room and proceeded to shut the door.
	Serenity got comfortable on her bed, getting under her thick, red blankets. Grant proceeded to get on the other bed, with it only having a sheet on it. Grant tried going to sleep, but was unable to, due to the loud clicks coming from Serenity's typing.
	"Serenity, what are you doing that requires all of this noise?" Grant stared at Serenity typing, lazily blinking.
	"Oh, with Moonstone and all of that stuff, I think telling this to Musical would be a good idea, they'd get a kick out of knowing that Figures are a real thing!" Serenity continued typing. She never stopped, and only did to take a picture of Grant demonstrating one of his new abilities. Then, after about one hour, the typing stopped.
	"Okay, I'm done." Serenity announced, "They better reply soon-" her laptop made a loud "boop" sound, declaring that MusicalKitty replied.
	"Oh wow, already?" Grant asked, chewing on the bedsheets. Serenity clicked on the message, and was legitimately surprised from their response.
	"Oh FF, of course I've dealt with Figures before"
