-You've been spying on Maxxor?
one of the M'Arrillians asked
-Yes.
the other replied
-The overworld leader seems to keep a journal with him,noting down every single detail of eveyday of his secrets and emotions.
-Now where are you going in this subject?
-He has certain felings for a woman.
-Go on.
The M'Arrillian said as the other took a deep breath to reply
-He has fallen in love with the Overworld hero; Intress.
TangathToborn gasped without letting those M'Arrillians hear.
-So we can figure out to threathen him for something,but we would have to kidnap the feline.
The M'Arrillian said
-I gotta warn Maxxor.
Tangath said to himself.
-but I might have to tell Intress first... oh... I gotta tell only one of them befor it's too late.
Tangath said as he ran off...
(Riverlands...)
Intress owned a house nearby.. it was a nice place... and sometimes her human friend would come visit, this friend was no other than Tom Majors, the one who saved her tribe from falling apart.
But what mysteries she wondered about; how was it to be human? How was it not to have fur all over your body, not being able to do attacks nor live without claws on hand at all times.
Intress sighed as she heard a knocking on the door she jut knew who it was.
-Come in.
She said
-Intress?
-Tom,what is it?
She asked
-Uh,thanksgiving is nearby, I wanted to ask you something.
-What is it Tom?
Intess asked
-I... wanted to get a nice battlegear scan... for... someone.. and I was wondering if you could help me scince Ididin't find anything good at the arsenal.
Tom stuttered
-I have a riverland star... but can you tell me... what is this... 'thanksgiving?
She asked
Tom smiled
-Thanks Giving is a holiday on earth, it's where everyone is thankful for their loved ones ... You...don't have hodidays here in Perim do you?
Tom said
-Well, we only have New solumns, Tribal independance day and anyone's birthday.
Intress said
-On earth, we have plenty of holidays!! It's a very happy time when they do come up.
Intress sighed
-Sorry, I shouldin't really talk about this should I ?
Tom asked
-Tom, I do wonder how it's like to be... human sometimes, and if I were on earth, I wouldint have to suffer going through the war over Cothica. Especially scince now the M'Arrillians joined the war.
Tom frowned
-Sorry I mention this all.
Tom said sadly
-It's not you fault, I've always felt this way, sometimes I just wanna get away from Perim.
Tom snapped
-I might know a way.
Tom said
as he ported out Intress groaned
-I don't know if I ever could escape.. like you do.
Intress said
(On earth, at school)
Tom ran over to Kaz
-Ka yo go he me ca in wa es fr Perim an I ne yo sci pro naw.
Tom said it so quickly that Kaz could only understand the first two letters of every word
-Now I say what?Tom go slower, Kay in what is from Perim?
Tom took a deep breath
-Kaz, You gotta help me, I mean, Intress, cause I mean, cause Intress wants to escape from Perim. I think I'll need your science project. You know, the same one you made in high-school?
-Tom, you know I only estimated the inside of the scanner to be that way, I was only fifteen, I couldin't have figured something like that. But I did have a dream about it though, then I dreamt that creatures invaded Chaotic and that Selena said she loved me. It's crazy, you beleiving that my old project would work is nuts, we're in colledge now.
Kaz then turned his back Tom grabbed his red-headed friend's shoulder..
-Please Kaz at least try? For Intress.
-Okay MajorTom, whats in it for you and whats in it for me if I do it?
-You got me, she said she'll let me scan the riverland star, but I wanna give her something in return, she wants to experience life on earth. And I'll give you twenty bucks.
Tom said as Kaz thought for a moment
-Why do you need the riverland star? you work on fire and earth attacks in the dromes.
-Well.. Sarah has taken over the water element strategy and... I wanted to give it to her for thanks giving.
Tom said
-Aw, well, isint that sweet? You're getting a battlegear scan for your girlfriend!
-Kaz! She's not my girlfriend!!
-Kidding!! You take jokes hard don't you? What happened to the good ol' Tom in high-school?
-He's gone, I just wanna help a friend, and a girl I am sorta into..
Tom confessed
-Ah so you do wanna date Sarah!?
-Shut up! There's people around here. I'm letting you know because you're my best friend, it's that I REALLY like her, she's just so amazing, the way she battles, the way she walks and the way she looks me in the eye is driving me nuts. I've had great times with her, and she's just..
Tom just sighed instead of finishing his sentnce
-But I do still have the will to help Intress on her Perim escape.
-I'm gonna get my project from my parent's house later,I'll meet you at our dorm after school.
Kaz said as the scool bell rang.
(later)
Tom waited at the dorm, when he heard th door knock he went to it straightaway...
-What kept ya Kaz?
Tom asked
-I was busy finding a cart to put this tub of junk in.
Kaz replied as Tom brought the large device into the basement,Peyton then came by
-Yo, what you guys up to?
Peyton said coming down the stairs, looking at his two dormmates carrying this large object into the basement...
-Tom went to Perim, he visited Intress,
-She said she wanted to get outa Perim..
-Tom asked me to go grab my old scince project from high school an...
-Here we are.
Tom finished
-Cool! Let me help you guys.
Peyton offered scince they were obviously stuck.. bringing it down was easier scince three of them were doing it together.
When they got down Kaz pulled the sheet off of the project
-We just need a few things to complete it, I didin't wanna actually make it work at the science fair when I created this thing..
Kaz said
-We gotta go shop... Peyton, you in?
Tom asked
-And for Intress, I'm willing to help!
Peyton exclaimed
-Cool. Thanks guys.
Tom said
[Later, when Tom and Peyton went to the mall...]
They just got out of this mechanics store and passed by a few other stores, but they had what they needed as they passed by a lingerie store they saw Sarah, Lulu and Laureen at the store.
Peyton put down the large generator and ran to the store's entrance... Lulu ran over to him as he scooped her up in his arms
-Lu!! I'm so glad to see you!
Peyton shouted as she giggled
-Nice to see you too.
Sarah walked over to Tom
-So whats that you guys carying?
She asked
-This generator.
Tom said
-What you guys need it for?
Sarah asked
-Well,Why do you ask these questions and nothing about good friends happening lately??How are you?
Tom said as he got closer to Sarah..
-Well,not like Peyton and Lulu,theyre dating now.
-Yup..
Tom said..
-So answer my question,whats that thing for?
-Well,Kaz is fixing up his old science project from and Peyton were willing to help me help Intress..she wants to try to get away from Perim
-Tom,this is a bad idea you know.I mean,creatures on earth?
-I'm just helping a friend.
Tom said as he got even closer to her..
-Tom,you know you're too close to me?
Sarah said
-Yeah,I know that.
-Then why aren't you backing off?
-Cause well...
Tom stuttered as he blushed a deep shade of pink into his tan skin..
-Well,I heard thanks giving is coming up soon.
Tom said trying to change the subject
-Do...you wanna go to Chaotic later? I dunno,beta battle or something?
Sarah asked
-Uh,sure,sounds cool.
Tom said as Sarah blushed,she then smiled,she got up to her tiptoes and kissed Tom on the cheek.
-Huh?What was that for?
Tom asked himself
-Wh-why did Sarah kiss me?Does she feel the same way?
He asked as he watched her walk away,she stopped,turned,smiled and waved at him and ran back to the store to talk with Laureen..
Tom sighed
As Peyton got back he stared at Tom..
-Dude!!You scored with Sarah!
Peyton said
-I..uh..
Tom stuttered
-There's a lipstick mark on your cheek Tomasito
-How do yo know it's hers?
-Dude,we all know her lipstick is cherry red.
-Why does anyone even pay atention to a girl's lipstick color!?
Tom shouted
-I only know cause I used to have a crush on Sarah.
Peyton said
-..but thats over scince I'm with Lulu now.
he continued
-Yeah..
Tom stuttered
-Dude!You should let me hook 'ya up with Sarah!
Peyton offered,Tom shook his head
-Er,no thanks Peyton.
Tom said as he blushed
-You're blushing Thomas!!I can tell you're into her!Don't deny on,take my once-in-a-lifetime offer.I can hook you two up.
Peyton said
-Peyton I gotta tell her how I feel on my own,thanks anyways.
he said as he grabbed one end of the grnerator as Peyton picked up the other side.
They then walked home to their dorm.
Later when Kaz got all the parts set uphe still had to make some adjustments.. there was a ringing at the door..
Kaz sighed
-Tom,will you get that?
-why me?
Tom asked
Peyton chuckled
Kaz gave Tom a serious look
-Unless you can fix up the last details yourself.
-Fine.
Tom replied
he then went upstairs and opened the door.
He felt himself blushing
-Sa-Sarah?Uh,what is it?
-Just that I think you shouldin't do can't bring creatures to earth.
-Sarah,don't worry,It's only one creature.
Tom said as he saw her teal eyes glitter in the moonlight.
-iShe's...cute../i
Tom thought
-I mean,it's for a friend an..
-Tom,I'm just thinking someone can get hurt.
as he got closer to her she wrapped her arms around him
-and I'm even worried about you.
Sarah said as Tom hugged back,she looked up at him(scince he was half a head taller than her)
-Sarah,whats the worst that could happen?No need to worry.
Sarah smiled
-Now forget the thing about meeting in Chaotic later scince I don't have time tonight,tomorrow's saturday, can we meet up at the park tomorrow at ten?
-Wh-what for?
Sarah stuttered
-You'll see.
Tom said as he let go of her
-Kaz will have his old science porject ready,we might get Intress here on the weekend.
-Tom,tell the guys I think it's wrong,and I will blame all four of you if someone gets hurt.
Tom nodded, and closed the door
he knew this was okay and no one could get hurt.
