Dungeon Days:
"Gah!" It's way too hot!" Masamune moaned dragging his feet along the sidewalk. It was a blistering hot summer day, the kind that made the area around you look kind of hazy and if you took off your shoes the sidewalk would burn your feet. Currently Masamune and his two friends Zeo and Toby were trying to travel back to dungeon from their usual training spot, which was proving to be quite the feat. " Are we gonna die?" Zeo whimpered eyes beginning to tear up. " Everything will be fine." Toby assured with a laugh, placing his hand on Zeo's shoulder. " But we've been walking forever!" Masamune whined putting his arms behind his head. [Note: They've only been walking for about 5 minutes]
" Oh hey look!" Masamune cried out, stopping to stare down. Zeo and Toby gathered around him and looked down as well at what he had spotted. It was a shiny quarter, glistening brightly in the day's harsh sunlight. " Ooh!" All three exclaimed in surprise. Masamune picked up the coin and quickly let go of it with a yelp. It was burning hot! He watched in horror as the coin went twirling towards a steel metal grate. Luckily it was stopped by Toby's shoe, who walked in front just in time. Carefully he pulled a tissue out of his pocket and used it to pick up the coin. He then stuffed it away in his pocket.
" We have to be careful with this coin. We should spend it wisely." Toby advised his friends. " Like on a rocket ship? I used a quarter to ride on a rocket once." Zeo suggested innocently, eyes wide with excitement. " Or new Beyparts!" Masamune declared back, matching Zeo's excitement. The two began to shout happily back and forth, " Or a mansion!" Or a pool!" " A pony!" "The moon!" Toby stared back in disbelief as they continued to wave their arms around and yell out ideas. " Err…maybe we can just buy an ice cream cone?" He suggested to them. They both turned back at Toby and nodded okay.
And as luck would have it a familiar tune began to echo throughout the streets. " Ice cream truck!" They all screamed simultaneously and went sprinting in the noises direction. Thus the chase began, ending with Zeo tripping a few times and bawling, Masamnue obtaining the power to magically dodge through traffic, and Toby making a mental note to never try to chase an ice cream truck again. Regardless they were unable to catch the truck and eventually winded up treading back to dungeon, faces filled with defeat.
When they arrived back, they were surprised to see someone had cracked a fire hydrant open and every dungeon member was outside in swimsuits playing. " Ooh!" They once again squealed in excitement and ran into Dungeon gym to search for Coach Steel. They entered to see their Coach scratching his head and ruffling through couch cushions. " Coach!" They all exclaimed aloud running over to him. " There you three are! I was wondering where yaw were." Coach Steel scolded slightly but was still consumed in his apparent search. " Are you looking for something?" Toby asked observantly. " Nah…I was hoping we had a quarter laying around to help pay for the newspaper." " We have one!" They all cried out as Toby pulled the shiny coin from his pocket and gave it to Coach Steel.
" Well whaddya know? Thanks guys. Generosity will take you places." Coach Steel spoke with a mysterious grin walking towards an icebox, near his coffee machine. The friends gazed at him with confusion a he proceeded to pull out three popsicles from the freezers. "For us!" "Yeah take em before I change my mind. Go play with the others." Coach Steel declared, handing them each their favorite colors. " No training today?" Zeo questioned hopefully. Coach Steel nodded, earning three shrills of happiness. " Thank goodness!" Masamune exclaimed. " What's that suppose to mean?" Coach Steel asked raising one eyebrow. " Heh…Heh… nothing" Masamune waved his arms nervously. " Let's go!" Toby told his friends and they all proceeded to run outside to the city's homemade '"sprinkler". Coach Steel watched them all from the window and shook his head with a smile, "Kids. What can ya do with em?"
