Hola, friends. I've decided to update this story so I don't have five chapters in one. That was annoying to me. So they're all short until later, but I'm assuming most of you won't even read this because you're heading straight for the latest chapter. Actually, it might be wise to refresh your memory. I know I had to. Teehee. R&R, loves!
Chapter 1
It had been three years since Sharkboy and Lavagirl had been to earth to save Planet Drool. It had been one year since they had seen Max, the Day Dreamer…
"LAVAGIRL!" Sharkboy was yelling at the top of his lungs. His arms were crossed and his foot was tapping impatiently.
"What!" Lavagirl's head popped out of a window from a high tower in a beautiful castle that was now her home. Sharkboy wiped the sweat from his forehead and glared up at her.
"Why did she have to have her castle built right by the volcano?" he mumbled to himself.
"WHAT IS IT, SHARKIE!" Lava screamed again.
"Would you hurry up and get down here?" He yelled up to her. Lava rolled her eyes and her head disappeared. Sharkboy sighed and sat on the stone fence behind him, but not for long. He yelped in pain as the stones burned his "skin". He quickly jumped up and rubbed the burnt spot. Suddenly, he heard a faint, soft laugh. His sharp instincts caused him to whip around before the first giggle was over. Almost as quickly as it was there, it was gone. Too fast for even Sharkboy!
"What are you doing?" Sharkboy jumped and fell over the stone fence. Lava laughed and walked over to where he was sprawled out on the ground. "Your jumpy today, aren't you?" She held out a hand to help him up, but almost instantly pulled back before Sharkie saw. She sighed, a little disappointed. Lava had quickly forgotten how she would always hurt Sharkboy, as long as she was Lavagirl.
"Ow…" Sharkboy slowly pulled himself to his feet and wiped the dirt off himself. "Trying to kill me, LG?" He smirked a little and Lava rolled her eyes at him.
"Can we please go now?" She gave him a look that said "NOW" and Sharkboy quickly nodded. They began walking down the path on the side of the volcano. They walked in total silence all the way to the ocean's edge. Lava stood at the edge as Sharkboy dived in with expert form. She fiddled with her new dress uncomfortably, waiting for him to reappear. He did, about a minute later. His head bobbed above the waves and he grinned at Lavagirl. She half-heartedly smiled back as he dived back under the waves.
"Well, this is boring." She sat on near by rock and rested her chin in her hands.
Your probably wondering why Lavagirl came all the way down here just to watch Sharkboy swim. Well, that's not what she was doing. Actually, Sharkboy was searching for something. Something only they knew about, even though they knew very little about it. The only thing they knew was what Max had told them…the last time he had visited. Lavagirl remembered it clearly…
"A portal?" She had asked, very curious.
"Yeah!" Max had replied excitedly. He was in 6th grade at the time, and grown up a little more. He had longer hair and it was a darker blonde. He was taller and still very lanky. He grinned at Lavagirl and showed her the drawing of a portal.
"We discovered it the other day." Another boy said. Lava nodded at Linus and waited for them to continue. Linus had also grown up a bit. He had longer, darker brown hair and wider shoulders. He was a little taller and he had grown into his body quite well.
"We both had the same dream about it. I know its somewhere in the ocean."
"What does it do?" Sharkboy wanted to know more. Lava nudged him for interrupting then looked back at the two boys, who were now best friends.
"We're not sure," Linus answered, "but we believe its something we need to find." After that, the two boys climbed in Sharkboy's submarine, with Sharkie swimming closely behind them. Lavagirl was left, once again, to sit on the rock she was on now.
