Pearl was walking toward the fields viewing the gorgeous blue skies. She sits down in the grass and watch as people nearby fly their kites, throw rocks in the lake, hearing the kids run around laughing and having fun with their parents.
Alister was not so far behind. He was grabbing a umbrella, towels, mosquito spray, a kite, and fishing equipment out of his ship.He closes his ship and begins to head towards Pearl.
Pearl heard several annoying grunts which distracted her from sightseeing. She turned around to see who was making that noise. It was Azimuth struggling with the equipment.
"Mr.Azimuth"Pearl said getting up to go and help him.
"No Pearl I got it." Azimuth as the towels and umbrella slipped from his grasp.
Pearl bend down to grab them both. "It's okay if you need help." She smiled as she takes the mosquito spray from his arm. "We are sitting over here."
Alister follows Pearl to their spot dropping the supplies.
"That fishing equipment must of been the heavy package." Pearl joked beginning to spread out the towels on the grass.
Alister stabs the umbrella into the ground. "It would of been way too heavy for you to handle." Alister sits down on his blue towel with shells
"Yeah." Pearl sits down with Alister under the umbrella and leans toward him. "It's a pretty day outside. Pretty but windy."
Alister nods. "This is a perfect day for me to show you how to fish."
Pearl looks up to Alister surprised. "You really think I'm ready? But what if I fall into the water."
"That won't happen." Alister reassured. "Even if you do end up falling I won't let you drown."
Pearl had an uneasy smile on her face. She was not convinced that she was ready to learn how to fish. "I-- I dunno Mr. Azimuth."
Alister's smile turned into a slight frown. Why was she so worried? This could be a new experience for her and he wanted her to enjoy every second of it. "It would be fun."
Pearl shrugged her shoulders as she hunch up her knees and lays her head on her arms. If he could not get Pearl to go and fish with him, his next best idea was for her to watch him fish while she stays on land and watch from afar.
"You see how much fun those two are having?" Azimuth questioned pointing at the mother and son that were at the lake.
"It is a little funny that the fish smacked the kid in the face but I'm still not going."
"Okay then. Well if you change your mind I will be down there fishing." He informed standing up. "There is a kite if you want to fly it and over there is a little hangout for the teenagers if you want to go and talk." He picks up the fishing equipment heading down towards the lake.
Pearl breathed as she turned around and picked up her kite. She gets up, stretches and begins to fly her kite.
Minutes has passed and Pearl was already getting unamused of flying her kite. She sits back down under the umbrella and begins to watch the lombax in curiosity. Alister happened to turn around to check on Pearl. He waved virtuously at Pearl.
"You need anything?" Pearl called. She couldn't tell if he needed her help with something or that he was waving at her or someone else.
"No." Alister answered. "I'm just checking on you."
"Okay." Pearl shouted glaring a bit. She knew that he was trying to convince her to go over there but she was not falling for it. She decides to go over there with the other teenagers.
"Hey." Pearl greeted.
The teenagers didn't respond back to Pearl. They just stared at her. They never seen a species like Pearl before and they were curious.
"Woah what are you?" One of the boys asked.
"Does it matter?!" A blarg girl shouted in excitement tugging Pearl over. "She is definitely hanging with us."
Pearl was forced to sit down on the beach and laid in front of her were a group of teenagers staring at her.
Pearl giggled nervously trying to keep her chill. She should be use to this attention by now but she still struggles with it.
"So uh pretty day out." Pearl mentioned trying to spark a conversation.
"Yes it is."
"So what brings you to this Galaxy?" the girl blarg asked.
"I ran away from Home." Pearl answers.
Another girl gasped. "Why?"
"Well uh things on my Planet got complicated so uh.."
"Hey don't ask her those questions. It's personal and we don't even know her. Would you like to join us in a game of Hoverboarding?"
"Hooverboarding?" She asked confused. "What's that?"
"Timmy show her." The blarg told.
The blue Rilgarian stood up and showed her his sparkling new hooverboard.
"Woah!" Pearl's mouth dropped in amazement. The Hooverboard was red with a few gold diamond on it. Pearl was mainly pondering about the signature on the right side of the hooverboard.
"What's that on the hooverboard?"
"This is signed by Skid McMarx himself."
"Who's that?"
All the teenagers gasped in shocked.
"I'm sorry if I offended anyone but I'm new here-"
"I can't believe you've never heard of him! Do you even have a hoverboard?" Carl asked.
Pearl shakes her head.
"Well you can use mine." Amber tossed her hooverboard to Pearl.
Barely catching it Pearl holds it as she stood up. She also noticed that her shimmering board was signed by Skid McMarx himself. Pearl had no idea who this guy was but she was already wanted to be his new fan.
"Who is this Skid McMarx guy?"
"Only the best hooverboarder ever hmp!" Mark said taking the hooverboard out of Pearl's grasps and placing it in the grass." Okay get on."
Pearl never saw anything like this float before which frightened her before. She was not sure if she wanted to try it but Mr. Azimuth suggested that she should try new things and she took his advice.
"C'mon cutie don't be nervous." Timmy helped Pearl get up on the hooverboard.
Pearl tried not to blush.
"Woah." Pearl screamed feeling the tugging motion of the hooverboard.
"Don't worry I got you." Amber assured holding Pearl on her waist.
Pearl was holding the blarg on her shoulders. "Um am I doing this on my own?"
"No." Timmy said getting on his hooverboard and waiting on the side of her. "Here you well need this helmet."
Timmy tried to put the helmet on Pearl but it wouldn't fit. So he tries to pull down on the helmet.
"Ouch that hurts." Pearl growls.
"Your forehead is big." Timmy laughed.
Pearl glared at Timmy. "Oh yeah well.. um.. " Pearl felt like she had to come up with a funny comeback as quick as possible. She knew the one in her head was not going to be a good one but she used it anyway. "Your big head is twice as big as these hooverboards combined."
"Ooo" the teenagers encouraged.
"Haha okay um.." Timmy didn't know her name so he gave her a nickname. "Hazel."
Pearl searched around for Hazel but she didn't spot anyone coming up. "Who's Hazel?"
The teenagers all looked at each other then back at Pearl before laughing.
"Ahhh ahaha what's funny!"
"Your nickname is now Hazel.. unless you want to tell us your name." Amber smiled.
"It's Pearl." She smiled back delighted.
"Pearl there is a bug on you!" Passion joked.
"Get it off me!" Pearl squealed throwing her hands in the air.
Pearl's movement set off the inactive hooverboard and it turned on going at a fast speed.
"Help!" Pearl panicked.
"Hang on!" Timmy warned going after Pearl.
Mark also hopped on his hoverboard chasing after the two. Pearl was trying her hardest to control the board but she found it unusually hard to work with.
"Pearl jump!" Mark suggested.
"Can't you see I'm high in the air right now no?!" She shouts at the Fongoid.
"Pearl just shift your weight like with hooverboots." Timmy told going up a few trees.
"I've never rode hooverboots before!"
"How haven't you fell off this thing yet?!"
"Watch out!" Mark warned seeing a huge tree branch in front of Pearl.
"Oh no..." Pearl said quietly. She had no idea what to do at the moment. She had adrenaline rushing through her veins pumping faster as she approached the branch.
An unexpected reaction happened to Pearl when she reaches the branch she leaps over the branch and lands back on the board.
Amber and Carl cheered. "You go girl!"
"Hey, hey guys I think I am beginning to get the hang of it." Pearl grinned as she reaches over to touch the leaves on the tree.
Timmy and Mark finally caught up with Pearl and they get her to slow the board down and landing in front of Amber, Carl and Passion.
"That was incredible! How did you learn how to do that so fast?" Carl gasped shaking Pearl back and forth.
"I dunno. It was just a flight reaction I guess." Pearl jumped up and down "I can't believe I did that. I can't believe I had the guts to actually jump!"
"You did great there champ." Amber side hugged Pearl.
"You should totally come with us and race." Mark suggested waiting on Pearl to catch up with the rest of them walking.
Pearl couldn't stop staring Mr.Azimuth who was fishing all by himself. Pearl sighed. If she could jump high in the air on her own then of course fishing could not be bad.
"A-- are you coming Pearl?" Timmy questioned waiting on the sidewalk for Pearl. He was worried that she was staring out and was quiet all of a sudden.
Pearl turns around slowly then looks at Mr. Azimuth one last time before making her decision. "I do but I want to go fishing with him." Pearl pointed. "I left him all alone down there and he is bored and need company I'm sure."
"Oh alright then." Passion said. "Go and hang out with your father then."
Pearl shakes her head. "No he is not my father he is my guardian."
"That lombax over there?" Mark said in a shocked voice. "I thought they all left."
"All left?" Pearl didn't recall Azimuth telling her about the lombaxes leaving. She took a note of that to ask him about it later.
"Yeah didn't he tell you. These cragmites took over their Home Planet Fastoon and killed a ton of them. They used this worm hole device to escape to another dimension." Carl explained.
"No..no" Pearl studdered. "No wonder at times he kept to himself and was aggressive towards people." She thought to herself.
"You should ask him about that." Passion said.
"Yeah..yeah" Pearl nods still trying to process the information down. It came to her too fast and too soon in an unexpected way.
"Well I don't know about you guys but I'm going to go and take a picture with the lombax. It's not everyday you get to see one." Timmy runs toward Mr. Azimuth waving his phone. "Lombax, Lombax."
The group of teens followed behind him also yelling. Alister turned around and saw the teenagers running up on him.
"Hey can we get a picture."the purple eyed blarg grinned.
"Why sure." Alister was delighted that the teens wanted a group picture.
"Pearl get in here girl." Timmy encouraged.
Pearl squeezed in with the rest of them and they all took a selfie.
"This selfie is perfect!" Amber squealed.
"Hey Pearl what's your social media name?" Timmy asked scooting close by Pearl.
Pearl took her phone and put her social media name and Timmy added her.
"Alright well I will tag you in it and we will hang out with you soon." Timmy assured doing a subtle wink at Pearl.
"Okay." Pearl winked back.
The teenagers began to head off.
"Bye Pearl we will see you soon." Mark waved.
"Bye." Pearl waved.
The teenagers waved back at her.
Pearl was just standing there with her hands crossed smiling at them as they walked off.
"You can go with them if you want." Alister told. He didn't want to ruin her fun with her age group.
"No I actually want you to teach me how to fish."
"Oh you." Alister squeezed her for a bear hug and ruffles with her hair a bit.
