Blaze2:
New homes, new beginnings
Chapter: one
"Ivy"
"Yeah"
"Where are Sam and Alex?"
"Oh, I think
that Teresa took them to the bathroom."
" 'Kay, I was just
wondering…they're gonna love Tulsa…I hope."
"Don't
worry Blaze…everything will be fine…you said that your boyfriend
and his gang were gonna try to find us a place to stay right?"
"Yeah,
wonder if they found anything yet…"
"They probably did, look
I'm gonna try to find Resa and the kids"
"Okay and I'll
try to find Kitty, Nari, Chrissie, and Cali."
With that the two
sisters went they're separate ways.
Blaze wandered around for a
while. Then she heard two singing voices coming from the lobby. So
she turned and followed the sounds.
Sure enough, her friends Kitty
and Cali were standing up on the stage, their hips swaying in unison
to the music.
Realizing that her friends were preoccupied, Blaze
sat down at the table closest to the stage and waited for them to
finish.
"Kitty…Calico"
"Oh, hi Blaze" Kitty said as
both she and Cali jumped off the stage.
"Do you know where your
sisters are?" Blaze asked, but Kitty just shrugged and said,
"They're probably out front tryin' to pick a fight."
"Then
we better round up Resa, Ivy and the twins, then we can try to stop
Chrissie and Nari from killing anyone."
"Hey, have either of
you seen Smokey?" Kitty asked. Smokey was her cat. But both Blaze
and Cali shook their heads. "That's why I want to find you
sisters, they have all of the animals with them."
So the three
friends walked out of the lobby and towards the
Café.
"Hey
sissy!" cried a young boy's voice and Blaze recognized it
immediately.
"Alex, c'mere you" Blaze said as she caught the
young boy around the waist and lifted him into the air. Alex laughed
and so did Blaze, but then she became serious "Alex, where's Sam
and Resa? You didn't run off with out them again did you?"
"Don't
worry sis, we're right here." Sure enough, Blaze's older sister
Teresa and Alex's twin brother Sam, were standing right in front of
them.
"Okay, good, maybe the six of us can stop Nari and
Chrissie…"
"From what?"
"Teresa, do you really have
to ask me that?"
"Oh, right, c'mon kids, time to…" but
Teresa couldn't finish because a group of people swarmed around
them.
"C'mon, there's these chicks outside fightin' some
guys!"
"Are you serious! Awww man this I gotta see!"
"Oh
know, you don't think…"
"There's always a possibility,
c'mon!"
So Teresa, Blaze, Kitty, Cali and the two little boys
dashed out of the train station and into the parking
lot.
Outside
Blaze saw two girls, one had light brown hair and the other had blond
hair with purple and black braided streaks, who were fighting a group
of boys.
All of a sudden Sam and Alex ran into the fight, trying
their best to do a little damage.
"Sam! Alex!" Blaze yelled,
but the little boys didn't listen. So Blaze ran in after them,
followed by Teresa, Kitty and Cali.
Teresa, being the oldest of
the girls, was the first to speak up. "Everybody freeze!"
At
that moment, Chrissie, Sam, Nari, and Alex froze in their spots. And
the boys that they were fighting froze as well, wondering what was
going on.
"Oh c'mon Resa! We were totally gonna win!"
"Blaze?
That you?"
"Oh, hey Two-Bit. I, uh, see you've met my
friends."
"Yeah, Blaze, which group are you talking to?"
Cali said out loud, while walking towards the mob.
"Oh, uh, both
I guess."
"Okay, this is all great an' all, but yeah, lets
just skip the intro's, Nari, where the fuck is my cat!"
"Over
there with all the others." Nari said, while pointing over by a
reddish brown truck. So Kitty walked over quickly to the group of
cats, dogs, and other animals.
After a minute or two, Kitty
returned with a gray cat that had black paws and ears.
" 'Kay,
you can continue."
"All righty then…ummm…guys, these are
my sisters, Teresa and Ivy," Blaze said, pointing to her sisters
then she pointed to the twins "And these a little demons are Sam
and Alex, the girl holding the gray cat is Kitty, and those are her
sisters, Nari and Chrissie…" Blaze said pointing to each person
in turn.
"Who's that?" Steve asked, pointing to a girl with
dark sunglasses covering her eyes.
"I was just getting to
her…Okay this is Calico, she has an Aunt that lives down here some
where down here, so she's gonna stay with her."
"Sissy?"
Alex said, pulling on the sleeve of her jean jacket.
"What's
up Alex?"
"Is that the guy who makes chocolate cake for
breakfast?"
"Yeah little man, that Darrel
Curtis."
"Blaze?"
"Oh, uh, yeah Sam?"
"Can I
borrow your blade for a sec?"
"Why?" Blaze said as she
pulled out her silver switch blade.
"Remember my lessons? I'm
too young to carry my own switch blade, so I have to borrow yours
until I am." So Blaze handed the blade over to the kid.
"Right,
be careful" she muttered as the kid walked off with Ivy tailing
behind
him.
"Okay,
practice session over, can we leave now?" Ivy said a couple of
minutes later
"Yep, umm, this is gonna be hard
though."
"Why?"
"There's about fourteen people, and
only two cars."
"Well that tuff lookin' blond over there can
sit on my lap, if she wants…" Two-Bit said, pointing to
Nari.
Nari just smiled, and slowly walked towards him and said
"And just who in the Hells are you?"
"I'm
Two-Bit."
"Two-Bit…interesting…aren't you the one who
can't resist a blond or a joke, no matter how far you try?"
"Why,
yes I am…"
"Then I guess I'm better off walking."
"Oh
your a funny one aren't you."
"Yup, I am, but I ain't
joking"
"Oh…well then…maybe someone should walk with
you…'cause it'll be kinda hard for you to find the house if you
don't know the way."
"He's right Nari." Blaze said
"I
am?"
"He is!?"
"Yes, that's why I'm comin' with
you."
"Oh…okay."
"All right then…there's two
people down, now how're we gonna fit twelve people and five animals
into only two cars?" Teresa asked, standing up next to her
sister.
"Okay, well Eden an' I will come with you."
"Yeah,
I might come too." Steve said, standing next to Calico.
"Okay
so we've got Eden, Spike, Chaos, Steve, Cali, Nari an' I. So we
only have what? Six animals and eleven people left." Blaze said,
trying to do the math in her head.
"Sounds about right" Darry
said, then he added "well the twins can ride up front in the cab
with me…"
"Don't forget Rocky!"
"Yeah an' Buddy
too!"
"Okay Sam, Alex, Rocky, Buddy and I will ride up front
Teresa, Ivy, Kitty an' Pony can ride in the back with…what's
their animals names?"
"Oh, Teresa's dog's name is Bear.
You already know about Kitty's cat and you obviously know about
Gambit."
"Right, Bear, Gambit and Smokey will ride in the
back" Darry looked around at the people to see that everyone
agreed, they did so he continued "Umm…Soda, and Johnny can sit up
front in the car and Two-Bit and Chrissie can sit in the back
with…"
"Her pet's name is Panther."
"Okay, I think
that we all get the picture…can we leave now…I'm getting
hungry!" Ivy said.
"Blade, you just ate!" Sam said
"Blade?"
Johnny asked
"Yeah that's what Sam calls her…I'll tell you
guys later."
"Now that everything is settled…"
"Except
for my food problem."
"Ivy, Shut up! Okay, we should all get
goin'"
"Everybody heard. The Reaper has spoken!"
Darry
looked from Teresa to Blaze, then nodded.
Blaze, Steve, Nari and
Cali all went to where the animals were. Then everyone
left.
"So
your names Calico, right."
"Yeah, but everyone calls me
Cali"
"Do you know why?"
"Why what? Why does everyone
call me Cali?"
Steve laughed "No, why is your name Calico. Do
you know why your parents named you that."
"Oh, yes, and no I
won't tell you."
"Okay fair enough. Your business is your…oh
no!"
"What"
"That"
"Who's that" Cali asked
him, but Steve didn't answer
"That's his demon girlfriend
that he was supposed to break up with, like, forty million times
before…her name is Evie."
"Blaze?"
"Yeah?"
"Hide
me! You have to hide me!!"
"Sorry man it's to late" Nari
said, pointing out in front of her "Slutty, preppy, chick has
arrived."
"Oh no…"
"Stevie! What are you doing here!
I thought that you going to pick up your friend Blaze! Not walk
around like a philandering pig!"
Cali asked "Philandering. Can
you even spell that?"
"Of course I can!"
"I'd like to
see you try."
"Is that a threat?"
"Damn
straight."
"Okay, Evie right,? Yeah, you said that you could
spell philandering…lets hear it" Nari said, resting her forearm
on Steve's shoulder.
Evie brushed her hair away from her face,
took a breath and started to spell "
F-I-L-L-A-N-D-O-R-I-N-G."
"Wrong…sorry, I guess you really
are as dumb as you look!"
"Steve, your not just gonna stand
there and let them talk to me like this…are you!"
"Sorry
Evie, Blaze an' her friends have minds of their own…so therefore
I can't control what they say or do…"
"Fine…be that way,
I'm leaving…and if you know what's good for you, you'd leave
to…"
"See ya Evie…"with that Steve, Cali, Nari and Blaze
walked past Evie
laughing.
"Are
we there yet? I'm getting bored." Cali said, nearly an hour
later.
Blaze just laughed and stopped walking. "Yeah Cal, we're
here."
"That was quick."
"Can we go in now?"
"Sure,
c'mon"
So the group of teens and animals al walked across the
street and into the house.
