For 3 months you were left stranded in Africa because your team left you without knowing it. So you’ve been on your own, fighting for survival every day. You grew used to the wildlife and even made yourself known to the animals. You’ve fought lions, tigers, hyenas, and other predatory creatures so you could survive, and some of the animals both feared and respected you because of it. But you refused to attack any of the hippos since you knew how dangerous they were.

It’s another day in the wilderness and you were out getting a drink of water near the lake. It felt like a peaceful day today, which wasn’t very common for you on most days. Once you reached the lake you were getting ready to drink until you felt the water rising, noticing bubbles emerging from it. That’s when a hippopotamus slowly rises up from the water, her large build towering over you. She notices you and a warm smile grows on her face.

“Oh, were you trying to get a drink? Sorry. I was just trying to dry myself up a bit. And I don’t mean any harm, human, believe me.”

You looked up at her with a confused expression on your face. How could the hippo talk? Why was she talking to you? A bunch of questions were clouding your mind but you were calm since she didn’t seem like she meant any harm. She decided to stretch her limbs, which highlighted her pear-shaped build. Her pudgy legs were surprisingly able to hold up her large frame and her expansive and plump hindquarters wobbled with every movement. She then put her hands on her wide hips and looked down at you once again.

“Y’know, you’re the only company I’ve had in a while, so is it cool if I just stay with you?”
