There's something strange, a sudden change
Around, all across the sky;
A change of scene as The Machine
Goes wild, and no one knows why

Everyone will say it's a great display
And we brought it for you
Cynthia and Lance set off Nukes From France™
Now you know what to do:

WE'RE KICKING OFF A ROUTE FOURTH WALL
BRING EVERY JOURNAL, ONE AND ALL
HAVE A PARTY, BREAK DOWN ALL THE WALLS
'Cause it's our game's anni-ver-er-sa-ry
And we're, so ha-a-a-ppy!

_{[Luckily that tiny squeaky voice resonates in those big stupid ears of Henry's and they actually stand up before the rest of him does. He peers behind him at the rocking jar. It was green. He remembered Envy being a big amazing green dragon not a...tadpole.]}

What the hell...Envy? Is that you in there?

[jellyjar]

...huh? How do you know my name?

[Weird, Envy hadn't thought any of the guard chimeras could talk. And this one looked too wimpy to be one of those anyway.]

You'd better have a good answer!

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The little pokemon picked himself up and turned around to clumbsily right the jaw with his paws. STUPID PAWS.]}

It's me, Henry! I just--I woke up like this. I don't have any thumbs and everything is terrible.

_{[Henry, that isn't your bananasaur friend.]}

[jellyjar]

I don't--

[Wait a second. He can use this!]

Oh. Oh, of course it's you, Henry. I don't know how I got like this either.

Hey, you should help get me out of this jar.

[HENRY WATCH OUT]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The leafeon tilts his head, already worrying at the jar's lid with his claws.]}

What are you even supposed to be? Aren't you supposed to be a super cool dragon?

[jellyjar]

That's not important!

[Wow, that's clearly a touchy subject.]

I'll be able to get back to a cuter form soon enough.

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The little pokemon's ears sag again. Wow somebody was in a bad mood.]}

Pff, I'm sure France would think you were cute no matter what.

[jellyjar]

[What was the chimera on about now? What kind of name is France? It sounds sort of like Fran...]

Well she should, I am cute no matter what.

Can't you go any faster getting that lid off?

[no_ufo_ending]

Oh my god, Envy, I don't have any freaking th--

_{[Henry pauses and leans down to squint into the jar. France wasn't a girl. That he knew of.]}

Wait a second...

[jellyjar]

[...shit. Envy squeaks at the sudden scrutiny.]

What? What are you looking at?

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[The Leafeon narrows its brown eyes at the Thing in the jar.]}

Envy...what's my favorite food in the whole world?

[jellyjar]

Uh...is it...

...grass?

[IT HAS LEAVES FOR EARS, ENVY DOESN'T KNOW.]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[Henry wrinkles his nose and lifts the jar up so that he can see eye to eye with the little tadpole reject.]}

You're not Envy! Your name might be Envy but you aren't him!

<sub>[He lifts the jar, aiming to smash it on the street but then thinks better of it. Henry lowers it back down and looks around. There's probably a REASON he's in that jar. Plus he's a liar.]

[Henry doesn't like liars.]</sub>

Hmm...

_{[He tips the jar over and starts rolling it toward a manhole cover.]}

[jellyjar]

[So many tiny shrieks of dismay as the jar gets rolled towards the manhole cover.]

Hey! Stop it, wait!

[Nooooo. Envy tries to think of something, anything that might at least delay a trip to the sewer.]

The Envy you know, is he a homunculus?

[no_ufo_ending]

No, he's a person!

<sub>[Henry has possibly heard the word thrown around, but right now the Leafeon is too busy disposing of this IMPOSTOR to really think about that.

Once they arrive at the sewer lid, the jar is tipped upright again and Henry starts trying to pry it up. It's so heavy!]</sub>

[jellyjar]

C'mon, he has to be with a name like that!

[Envy scuttles in a circle around the bottom of the jar.]

Can he change his shape? Look like other people?

Maybe I am him and I just don't remember! I just got here!

[no_ufo_ending]

Nope, he's been here for years, and if my pants hadn't disappeared I'd call him on my poke'gear and show you just how--uff! Wrong-fff! You are!

_{[Henry manages to drag the manhole cover off juuust enough.]}

[jellyjar]

Oh come on, I didn't even do anything to you!

[Except be a liar and a massive jerk and was totally going to try and possess him if he'd let it out of the jar.]

[no_ufo_ending]

_{[And Henry states that loud and clear.]}

You're a liar! And a turd. So I'm gonna put you where you belong.

_{[With one dainty brown paw, HEnry tips the jaw over the edge and into the Deep Dark Below where the Muk and Radicates and one lone Mr. Mime lived. That done, Henry turns on his heel and marches off in search of his REAL friend.]}
