Illusion Time
Chapter Two: Jimmy's New Friend
Alarm goes off.
Jimmy: "Ah, a brand new day. Holy crap, I woke up on time, well this is a first."
Martha: "Yes it is Jimmy."
Jimmy jumped into the air and quickly turns around.
Jimmy: "Mom! Don't sneak up on me like that. Get out, I'm in my boxers and I have to change."
Martha: "Well hurry up because you have company downstairs."
Jimmy: "Molly is here already?"
Martha: "No. A sweet young man downstairs and he goes to your school. He is a freshman just like you. Thomas is down stairs serving him some breakfast. Maybe you can join him."
Jimmy: "Alright mom, I'll be downstairs in a few."
Jimmy takes a quick shower then gets dressed. He then goes downstairs for some breakfast where he sees his mom, dad and that mystery boy.
Jimmy: "Morning dad."
Thomas: "Morning son." He turns turns towards the mystery boy. "So is there anything I can get you? Jimmy introduce yourself, after all he does go to your school."
Jimmy: "Hey dude, what's up?"
Ven: "Nothing much man. My name is Ventus, but you can call me Ven. Mr. Cross no thank you."
Martha: "So Ven, are you knew to town? We have never seen you around."
Ven: "Yes I am. I just moved here a few days ago. I just enrolled to Gotham Apple High School."
Thomas: "You said you were a freshman right? Just like Jimmy. Did you know Jimmy is a really good magician?
Ven: "Yea, I'm a freshman. Mrs. Cross told me he was." He turns to Jimmy. "Maybe you can show me some magic today." Ven winks at Jimmy.
Jimmy: "Sure man."
Molly walks into the bakery.
Molly: "Hi everyone." She gives Jimmy a big hug. Then she looks at Ven. "Hi, my name is Molly. What's yours?"
Ven: My name is Ventus, but you can call me Ven. I hear you and Jimmy have been friends for a long time."
Jimmy: "Yea we have." Jimmy looks at his watch. "Uh-oh, it's time to go. We have to go mom and dad, I'll see you later. Ven come with us."
Ven nods.
Molly: "See you later Mr. and Mrs. Cross."
Ven: "Bye Mr. and Mrs. Cross. Thanks for the breakfast."
All three students start walking to Gotham Apple.
Molly: "So Ven, what brings you to this city?"
Ven: "My dad's new job is here and his boss recommended Gotham Apple as the school that I go to."
Jimmy: "That's cool. So do you have a special hobby you like to do? Since you know mine is magic, but I'm also a very good marksman with cards."
Ven: "I'm a good swordsman. Better yet, a key blade wielder. Back home I was an apprentice to Master Xehanort. He was someone close to me and taught me the ways of the sword or key blade as I call it."
Jimmy: "That sounds cool. Maybe after school you can show us a few of your techniques."
Molly: "Yea, I would love to see a performance of swords."
Ven: "After school I guess. I'm trying to focus on my studies for now, but I'll show you a few things."
Jimmy stopped walking suddenly.
Molly: "What's the matter Jimmy? You look frighten."
Jimmy pointed towards Riley. Riley came towards a Jimmy.
Riley: "Well look at what we've got here. The lousy magician and his two little friends."
Molly: "Hey we're not little, why don't you just leave us alone you jerk."
Riley: "Who's gonna make me huh? None of you are man enough to take me on."
Ven steps in front of Molly staring Riley down.
Riley: "Who are you? Some little punk? Step back before I hurt you!"
Riley throws a punch towards Ven's face, but Ven instantly catches it. Ven stares down Riley while squeezing tighter.
May: "Riley, baby, come here. I need help with my books." Ven lets go of his hand.
Riley: "I'm coming baby. I was just talking to these losers."
Riley walks away blowing on his hand and shaking it.
Jimmy: "Ven that was amazing! Thanks for sticking up for me. You have to teach me that soon."
Molly: "Yea, it was amazing. We got to hurry up though before we go late to school."
Ven: "Thanks, he had it coming. And yes your right, I don't wanna be late. I'll teach you after school."
They walked to school on time. They all went through their first fourth periods fine. Now they are all in lunch. Riley approached Jimmy's table.
