Chapter 2: Living in Bellforest

One year before.

"One year ago…"Maurice thought to himself.

"One year ago, Renton went in the Nirvash to save mama from becoming the Command Cluster"

"And in that time when Renton's birthday came Holland had the documents made for our adoption into the Thurston family" Maurice had stuttered at the word Thurston.

"Ever since then we have been living with Grandpa, he had taken us in with open arms. To him we were the only proof that Renton had returned. We would spend every night we could to visit the park and wish for mama's and Renton's return. We have been wishing every since we got the name Thurston…"

"Grandpa! The costumer for the ref board is here!" Maurice shouted to the garage.

"Oh, invite him in" and old voice responded.

"Okay!" Maurice was rushing to the front gate.

Maurice's narrating

Axel Thurston, the man who began the Thurston legend, the one being the legendary mechanic. He was also the father of the military hero Adrock Thurston and the grandfather of my papa, Renton Thurston who is now the hero of the world. I remember when we arrived at Axel's garage, at first he didn't look happy to see Holland but after Holland had shown him a piece of paper his look became completely different. To him, it seems, me Maeter and Linck were Renton, or rather his kids. As soon as Holland left Axel took us to a burger place where he ordered what he called "The Thurston tradition", at first I felt guilty that he had to look after us. But when he said that we were having a Big burger dinner and that it was a bonding Tradition in the Thurston family, I was overwhelmed by joy. Not long after that, Grandpa enrolled us in school and proceed to raise us like he did with Adrock and Renton, this made me feel like I was really apart of the Thurston family. But then again, when mama got Renton's last name, we came with the package too.

"Grandpa! We're back from school!" said a cheery high voice.

"Welcome back you three, can one of you help me with some thing?" asked Axel, as Maurice entered the room he could see a familiar object in the garage but he couldn't tell what it was.

"I need you to mail this ok? It's important" Axel told Maurice. It was a plain letter but for some reason, the letter seems to have a proud glow because Axel had said it was important. But Maurice did as his great grandfather said and had delivered the letter.

"Hey Maurice!" said a female voice.

"Oh, hi" Maurice replied as three girls were running to catch up. It was the three girls that Renton had gone to school with, the three girls that used to call him weird. But since Maurice had gone to his school, it seems the whole school was interested in Renton's adventures. (On a side note, the three girls are the ones that called Renton weird in the first episode and the ones that met Dominic. I don't know their names so I'll make them up, if you do know the real names feel free to enlighten me. But as for now, bare with me, their names until I find out the real ones are: Jessica, Cathy and Elsa)

"What's up Maurice?" one of the girls asked Maurice.

"Just returning home, I was delivering a letter that's all" Maurice had replied.

"Oh well we'll see ya around!" Jessica replied.

While Maurice returned home, a familiar couple walked to the town; from the large tower that over sees Bellforest.

"What's troubling you Renton?" Eureka asked the young man.

"I was thinking, how people would react to you. I mean everyone on the Gekko-Go will accept you because they know you and know your history, but I'm afraid of what the people at Bellforest will think of you." Renton said with a worried look.

"Well I'll always have you to protect me" Eureka while she was smiling.

"And I'm sure the people will accept me because you know people here" Eureka continued.

With renewed will, Renton and Eureka made their way to "Garage Thurston". Renton still worried about Eureka helped her cover her wings, and hid his face to avoid trouble. The journey to the house wasn't hard but many people stared at them because they weren't from around there. As Maurice, Maeter, Linck and Axel were getting ready for the last day of school someone knocked on the door. Axel got up to get the door but when he opened it his mouth and eyes dropped.

"Sorry we're late, but we're home" said a young male voice.

"Are you alright Mr. Thurston?" asked a female voice.

"MAMA! PAPA!" Maeter and Linck's voice said in unison.

"Maeter, Linck! Oh I missed you so much" Eureka said as the children ran up to her and she embraced them.

"Wow Maurice you've grown quite a bit" Renton said as he examined Maurice. But Maurice just like Axel lost their words, all they did was stare.

"Hey Grandpa since it's the last day of school I want to pick them up after school today" Renton said as he walked into the door.

"Renton…You always knew when the last was!" Axel said in an angry half smiling voice.

"I'm going to work you hard!" he continued.

"Uh… Grandpa, we just got back can't we wait a bit first" Renton said nervously.

"Besides I want you to meet Eureka again" Renton said as he grabbed Eureka's hand.

"You've changed a lot since the last time I saw you, how long has it been…oh it's been 2 years since I first met and seen you" Axel said in a gentler voice.

"Maurice, you guys better get to school or you'll be late" Renton turned to face the children.

"Oh thanks" Maurice said as he grabbed Maeter and Linck.

For the remainder of that day until school ended, Axel worked Renton as he never did before. Making him lift different and heavy stuff but it seems both Renton's height and strength increased over the time he was away. As it neared the end of the school day, Renton and Eureka got ready on the motor bike that was in the Garage. Not long after they reached the school.

"Hey, Maurice over here!" Renton was waving toward Maurice, Maeter and Linck. As they reached Renton and Eureka a huge mob of students and teachers surrounded them.

"Is that you Renton?"

"Is it true you really saved the world?"

"Is this you on the cover of RayOut?"

As more and more people came the more questions were thrown at them. At first he was shocked at the fact that people still remembered him. But after answering a few questions, some of his old "friends" came up to him.

"Renton is it really you?" asked Elsa

"Of course it's me, who else do you think I would be?" Renton asked. Cathy took out the issue of RayOut with Renton and Eureka on the cover.

"Is this really you?" asked Cathy as she showed the picture.

"Ya that's us, from one year ago" Renton replied.

As Renton and Eureka told there story one of the girls noticed Eureka's wings.

"Are those real?" asked Jessica curiously.

"They are, and aren't they beautiful" said Renton smiling.

"It's a long story of how I got them but I'll save that story for later" Eureka responded.

"Anyway, I was taking Maurice, Maeter, Linck and Eureka out for a big burger dinner" Renton said as he got the kids seated.

"We already had that" said Maeter.

"Well you three and Grandpa did but what about Eureka?" Renton said.

"It's alright Renton" Eureka said looking a bit shy.

Not long after Renton and his family went to the restaurant that was near the tram station.

"How many seat will that be?" asked the waiter.

"Six will be fine" Renton said in a calm voice. As the family sat together Axel gave Renton a piece of paper, when Renton looked at it his cheeks began to redden.

"But Grandpa… When did…How did…Huh?" Renton said in confusion.

"What is it Renton?" Eureka asked. Renton showed her the paper; it was the document that made them an official family. When Eureka saw it she couldn't help but smile.

"So this means…You all have my last name?" Renton said with a smile on his face.

"Yup!" the three kids said in unison.

"Well I wouldn't choose another family on the planet then this one" Renton said as he tried to hide a laugh.

"Um how can I help you?" asked the waiter.

"We'll all have the Big Burger dinner" said Renton.

"And what drinks do you want?" added the waiter.

One by one they said Coke with the exception of Axel who ordered coffee. As the waiter brought the food he noticed Eureka's wings.

"Your Eureka right?" asked the waiter. Renton's looks turn a bit serious.

"Ya…"Eureka responded while looking down at the floor.

"Well let me say this, welcome to Bellforest, you've been famous here since that issue of RayOut" laughed the waiter.

"If you're family to Renton then you're part of this town too" the waiter said as he walked away. As they finished the meal Axel wanted to show them the moon on which their names were carved on. They went to the park where Renton saw his name on the board.

"Renton Thurston Hillside Hope Park… I got a park named after me" Renton said as he stared at the sign.

"Has a nice sound to it" Eureka said as she walked up from behind him. When they looked up, they saw it; the moon that showed that a human and coralian can live together. As Renton looked around he could see many couples parked there just looking at the moon. This was the mark left behind by Nirvash, the only proof that it ever existed.

"Nirvash…I promise we'll see you again" Renton said quietly. As Renton turned to see Eureka she was looking at the moon with a smile, the moon light made her look like the first time he met her. Even now Eureka was an angel to him, just like when he first met her. But now it was different, the wings made her look even more beautiful then when he had first met her. As Renton stood there looking at the moon and remembering how he had first met Eureka he also wanted to see his father again. Not long after they returned home to figure out how things will be with the living arrangement. (With Eureka and Renton living there now.) The new house that Axel had built was in place of the old one where Renton had previously lived, but now it was a bigger one. The house was built for a whole family.

"Uh… Grandpa? Where are we going to sleep?" asked Renton.

"Heh heh, I have a spare room" Axel said as he smiled evilly. He led them to the upstairs and to the room at the end of the hall. As Renton entered the room he could see a queen-sized bed and lamps at each side. About 10 seconds after he saw this he knew what and who it was for. Immediately Renton's face turned red.

"This will be your bedroom" Axel said looking quite proud.

"Um…I'll go sleep on the couch until we can figure out a living arrangement" Renton said with a red face and an annoyed look.

"Why?" Eureka asked looking confused.

"Uh…um…because I can't use to that kind of bed! And the couch seems to be more comfortable!" Renton said shaking his hands.

"Oh, okay." Eureka said as she examined the room.

"I'll go set up the couch now, see ya" Renton said as he bolted out of the room. Before Renton proceeds to set up the couch he stopped by the kids' room to check up on them. Maeter and Linck had fallen asleep but he could see Maurice messing around with a ref board. Maurice hadn't noticed Renton yet so he left. Renton was the last one to sleep, mostly due to the fact that he was trying to find a comfortable position on the couch. In the morning Renton seemed to be in a mess, and with a few bed sores.

"I have to get a better place to sleep" Renton muttered as he got up. When he looked at the clock it had only been 8:00am so he decided to make breakfast for everyone. As he brushed his teeth and freshened up he saw Maurice outside fixing his Ref board.

"Maurice what are you doing?" asked Renton as he came up to Maurice.

"Ah! You scared me…"Maurice said as he recovered from the shock.

"So what are you doing to the ref board?" Renton asked again.

"I was just tuning it" Maurice replied.

"I thought Bellforest didn't get good waves" Renton said looking a bit confused.

"It seems after the second summer of love Bellforest has gotten better waves so reffing is better now" Maurice said as he took out a screw driver.

"Say lets go reffing later, but first I'm going to make breakfast" Renton said with a happy face. With that Renton began making breakfast, he made scrambled eggs, cooked some bacon and set up the Cereal and milk. When it was 9 o'clock he went up stairs to call everyone down.

"Eureka! Grandpa! Maeter! Linck! Breakfast is ready!" Renton shouted from downstairs. As he waited a bit he could see Eureka coming down in her night gown and rubbing an eye. Then following her were Maeter and Linck who looked like they were still tired.

"Wow! The food looks great" Axel had said in amazement.

"It seems your cooking skills got better while you were gone" Axel added.

"Well actually I cook better with Eureka around, but I didn't want to disturb you." Renton said looking at Eureka.

"Renton you shouldn't have, but it's really sweet that you made breakfast for all of us" Eureka said.

"I was wondering if I could take the kids out to try reffing, Maurice said the waves got better here" Renton said looking at Axel.

"It has and you don't have to buy ref boards, I got some a while ago. You kids have fun" Axel said before placing the bacon in his mouth. After breakfast they went to a spot where Maurice had been reffing at, it was a good spot. Plenty of Trappar were there and not many other people. It was the first day of summer, and as it turns out, Maurice was learning about mechanics, Maeter was trying singing and Linck got quite good at drawing. Though they still didn't know how to ref, Renton began teaching them along with Eureka. It had been a fun day, when they returned Axel was getting an order from a costumer. The order was to repair a broken LFO ref board; to Axel this was a walk in the park. But Renton and Maurice still helped out just for the fun of it. However, that night Renton realized they didn't any dresses or clothes that they can change into (Due to the fact that all his old stuff is outgrown or destroyed or sold on e-bay- I'm joking sheesh can't you take a joke?) So on the next day while Maurice, Maeter and Linck were busy with Axel he wanted to take Eureka out for shopping. They went to the new Bellforest mall that had just opened.

"Eureka you should try on some dresses, I'm goanna pick up a few toys and stuff for the kids" Renton said as he left the clothing store.

"Where should I meet you when I'm done" Eureka asked.

"Around that fountain, well I'll see you there!" Renton said as he ran off. Renton when he saw Eureka disappear into the store went to the jewelry store. Renton looked around for a bit before seeing a gold and silver ring, it was a matching pair. Renton looked around for a retailer.

"Hi, how may I help you sir" asked the retailer.

"Hi, I'd like to buy this pair of rings" Renton said.

"Would you like a personal engraving in the rings?" the retailer asked.

"Ya, I'd like the ring to say R to E" Renton said as fought down the overwhelming joy. But as he waited for the ring's engraving he decided to buy a few other things. After paying the retailer for the ring he left to get other things as they engraved it. Renton began looking at mechanic tools for Maurice, a microphone for Maeter and an art set for Linck. Eureka had just finished buying clothes; she got 3 dresses and 1 for Maeter. As she walked to the fountain three thugs came up to her.

"Hey sweetie, what are you doing here alone" one of them asked as he got closer.

"Ya we'll show you a good time if you come with us" other continued.

"Let go of me" Eureka said as one of them grabbed her.

"Renton!" Eureka yelled. When Renton was in the store picking up his ring, he dropped all his stuff and asked the retailer to watch the stuff for a minute. Without knowing where Eureka was he just followed the feeling in his gut. That led him to a darker part of the mall where the thugs had taken Eureka. As one of them tried to kiss Eureka, Renton ran up and punched the guy in the face. Without leaving any time to stop he kicked the other one holding Eureka, the third being afraid let's go. With the thugs still confused Renton grabbed Eureka's hand and pulled her out of the dark hall and into the mall.

"Who the hell are you!" one of them asked still dizzy from the punch.

"She's with me so get the hell outta here" Renton said in an angry voice. The thugs knowing that security wouldn't be far left.

"Are you alright Eureka?" Renton said with a worried look.

"I'm fine, because you came to save me" Eureka said with a small smile.

"I'm glad" Renton said with a sigh of relief. As Renton and Eureka picked up the stuff Eureka dropped when she was attacked Renton told her to wait in the car and he'll return when he gets the stuff he left behind. After picking up the ring and stuff Renton hid the ring in his pocket.

"I hope Eureka likes it" Renton said looking at it before putting it away. As he got into the old car that Axel had lent him, Renton and Eureka returned home.

"Wow! Thanks Renton!" the three kids said in unison. With the last bit of trouble gone they thought they can now live in peace. But can they? (OH HELL NO! I'M THE AUTHOR SO I KNOW; anyway I'll have these Author notes in the story just to keep you all from getting lost.)

"How soon before we can get it ready"

"We need about another 6 months"

"Very well"

"Those Coralians…"

"They'll soon be gone, and Dewey's plans will finally be completed."

"The reorganization of the military, the FAC will defeat those bastards"

"Prepare the ship"

"Yes, as you command. Reina"

To be continued…

The young man and the young woman are in peace but how long will this wonderful peace last. Next time: The enemy's new face.
