The two boys sit under the starts on a blanket. The open beach around them is a stark contrast to the bright lights of the carnival just a few yards up the coast on the pier. Thrax tucks a piece of hair behind his ear and leans forward, placing his arms around his knees and draws them to his chest.
Rocky looks at Thrax. "Why do you two look so different?" He instantly wanted to kick himself for sounding like a jerk.
"He didn't always look like that." Thrax rests his chin on his knees. "DId you knw we used to be royalty?"
"I guess that's where the Lord comes from..." Rocky muses.
"Yep. That is until our planet went to war and he decided he would rather sell his soul to become an even more powerful ruler than to sign a stupid treaty with Eltarians and Kerovians." Thrax turns to Rocky. "That's why he looks like a monster. Because he became one. After enslaving them we came to earth. I was pretty much a captive in my own home after he married Rita. When we were all kicked out of the moon kingdom I decided to make a run for it. I came to the only place i knew I could hide in."
Rocky sits up with question in his eyes. "Why did your father choose earth? I mean, out of all the places he could have picked..."
"He only did it to teach me a lesson. He said my care for the humans was a weakness that needed to be eliminated."
"Weakness?" Rocky puts an arm over Thrax's shoulders trying to comfort him.
"I just couldn't see how a world with so much beauty could be so
wicked. My dad told me that we were just doing earth a favor, that you
were already killing yourselves and what we were just a helping hand." Thrax takes a deep breath.
"But there's no death here. This place is so full of life. I would sit
and watch every day to see people grow and to change..."
There is a silence between the two of them. Rocky lays back down and props his head up with his elbow. "Y'know, you're just like the little mermaid..."
"Pardon?"
"It's kind of a clasic tale here on earth." His eyes dance with a childlike excitement. "She fell in love with the human world and gave up everything to see it."
The parallels were too strong for Thrax to disagree with. "Yeah well, how did it work out for her?"
"It was hard at first, but she eventually found her legs and learned how to walk."
Thrax looks off onto the black water, almost hoping to see her dancing around on the waves. "Sounds nice."
Rocky, deciding to be bold, adds a little more to the story. "She also fell in love with a handsome prince..."
Thrax smiles deeply and lets out a small giggle. "Well I think I have that part covered."
Rocky sits up again and this time moves a little closer to Thrax. "Then I guess all we have to do is teach you how to stand on your own."
"Easier said than done. I'm just guessing here, but this fish girl didn't exactly have a flying monkey and his band of bounty assassins on her trail, did she?"
"No. It was a giant squid woman. She took over and stole the
prince..."
"Awesome..."
Rocky pulled Thrax in close and holds in there. "Trust me, if there's anything I know how to do, it's fighting off winged monkeys and evil space aliens."
Thrax looks into Rocky's big brown eyes. "And what about giant squid women who steal princes?"
"Don't worry..." Rocky leans in dangerously close. "I'm not that big into tentacles."
With one small move, Rocky pushes forwards and presses his lips against Thrax's. What should have been a beautiful moment was suddenly interrupted.
"Well well,what have we here..." The dark voice was unmistakable. "Looks like you have made some new friends... son."
