Hi everybody!! Sorry for the lack of updates. This week was finals week so I have been studying at night. Woo yea for high school!! I hope you enjoy it! Rates and Reviews are always appreciated! I'll probably update more now that school is out.
I love MUTT!!
Also this Terra Cotta Army of Emperor Qin wasn't found until 1974 so I'm going to make it seem as if Indy and Mutt find it. Okay? Just to answer anyone's question about that. I also saw that someone has a story about the Terra Cotta Army, I am not copying them! My first chapter came out before theirs. I don't want to be accused of plagiarism.
Mutt and Aria arrived at Marshall University in what you would call a dramatic matter. First they were nearly pulled over for breaking the speed limit, next they nearly ran over an old lady crossing the street, and finally their fellow students stopped everything they were doing and stared. Eyes open and mouths gaping.
"Mutt!! What were you thinking?! We could have died!! Can you at least follow the speed limit?!" Aria shouted. They were slowly walking across the campus to the appropriate building for their class.
"That is why you wear my only helmet babe. So you can stop worrying and just focus on the thrill of riding in the open air." Mutt replied. He gently took his girlfriend's hand in his own, "Besides don't you enjoy hugging me and snuggling your face into my back?" he asked coyly, a smirk slowly forming on his face. Aria's face turned scarlet and she struggled to form a sentence.
"I-I-I was not! I was only trying not to fall off that bike of yours! I mean I'm literally inches off the ground!" she tried to explain herself but she knew that Mutt saw through her. After all he was her everything he was the one person she turned to when her grandmother died. With a huff Aria admitted "Fine. You caught me. I still don't like riding that bike of your though. It's a metal death trap."
Mutt smiled reveling in his victory over his beautiful and brilliant girlfriend. "Who is the genius now?"
Aria glared playfully at him and said "Come on Mr. 'Genius' you don't want to be late for your first day of school now do you?"
He dragged his feet to the entrance of their first class "No please Baby, Sweetie! Please don't make me go! I just want to fix bikes! I don't need College." He pleaded.
"Mutt those pet names although flattering won't work besides if you don't go then your mom said she would personally sink you beloved Harley." Aria informed him
Mutt paled he hated school but he loved his Harley as well. He decided to just suck it up and go on with it. He grumbled softly something about conspiracy and life being unfair.
"Come on it won't be that bad." Aria said. She then whispered into his ear "Who knows maybe College will provide some new opportunities. Like a, oh I don't know maybe a happy girlfriend?" Mutt's eyes lit up instantly. "Not like that you pervert!" Aria yelled. "I meant that if you go from now on I will stop asking your mom to threaten your beloved material possessions. Jeez, what goes on through a males mind?" She shook her head gently as class began her boyfriend occupying the seat next to her of course.
It was finally the last class of what seemed to Mutt at least the longest day of his life. But of course his last class was his father's only class. Indy was the dean but he loved teaching so much he wanted to have at least one class: the class his son would HAVE to be in.
"Who can tell me about the Jade and Opal suit of Qin?" Indy asked his pupils.
Aria timidly raised her hand she did know of the legends her grandmother told her but she didn't know whether or not they were true. "Sir supposedly the Jade was to protect a body from decaying and the opal would give the person something of value in the spirit world. So they could be wealthy even in death."
Indy replied obviously impressed, "That is correct Ms. Cavander. What about you Mr. Williams? What do you know about Emperor Qin?" He asked his son.
Mutt looked up from his desk and glared at his father, so much so that he could well have burned through Indy. But Indy just smiled lightly as if nothing was happening. "Absolutely nothing sir I don't know anything about Qin." Mutt told his father with venom dripping from his every word.
"Well that is a shame now everyone please pull out your books and get yourselves refreshed on Emperor Qin or if you want catch up with all your classmates. But Ms. Cavander and Mr. Williams I need to see you in my office." Indy said as he was walking out of the classroom.
"What do you think the Old Man wants anyway?" Mutt lazily asked as he slowly stood up
"I don't know but let's not make him angry okay Mutt?" Aria asked gently obviously figuring out that there were tense times between the two.
"Ahh you have finally arrived! I trust you enjoyed your first day of school yes?" Indy merrily asked the pair.
At this Mutt exploded, "Dad! Why did you make me go to school! I told you I just wanted to work on bikes!"
"I told you that no son of mine is a school dropout!!" Indy yelled
Aria then noticing the stifling tension said to the two, "Hey lets go home please. So we can relieve our stress with a nice dinner and a hot shower. Doesn't that sound like a good idea?"
"Yes. Let's not fight especially in front of your girlfriend." Indy said regaining his self-control.
Mutt glared one final time before gently taking Aria's hand and leading her out the door. He led to her motorcycle before resting his head on her shoulder holding her tightly in his arms afraid she would fade away. "Aria have I told you how much I love you and appreciate you?"
Aria was puzzled at her boyfriend's question, "Not often. Why do you ask?"
He replied, "Because if you weren't there then I probably would've broken every valuable item in that office." He lifted his head and lightly fingered her locket. It looked antique and oriental. It shimmered in the sunlight he then let it fall back lightly to its place on Aria's chest. "Who gave you that locket, A former boyfriend?"
Aria laughed lightly at her boyfriends jealousy and replied "No silly. My grandmother did it was the last thing she gave me before she died. Come on let's go home." She lightly pulled Mutt and started walking when she felt a cold chill rush up her spine. She looked around and found the usual: students milling around the campus. Nothing was unusual here.
"What's wrong?" Mutt asked.
"Nothing. Absolutely Nothing." She replied. Mutt then started the Harley and they left the campus.
"Huang have you found the girl" a crackly voice asked in a car.
"Yes sir I have but she has company." Huang replied.
"Very well we must catch her when she is alone." The voice replied
