Where in the World is Lance Alvers?
At first Lance thought he was back home in his bed, having a strange dream. Then he opened his eyes. "Where am I?" Lance blinked. He took in his surroundings. He was inside a cottage of some sort, lying on a futon.
"You speak English! Good I know that!" A soft voice spoke. In the doorway was a native island girl who looked about nineteen with long black hair in a white and red kimono. She had two red bows on top of her head.
"Who are you? Where am I?" Lance struggled to sit up.
"You in my house, I am Kima," She smiled. "And this Granny. We find you and bring you back."
"Well the young pup's finally awake," A woman in a dark blue kimono who looked about 700 walked in with a cheerful smile.
"Thanks…I'm Lance. Lance Alvers. How did I get here?"
"A dragon brought you here," Granny looked at him. "How do you think you got here? Not everyday we see a young man washed up on our beach soaked to the skin. Had to get you dry and bandage you up."
"Huh?" Lance looked down and realized that the only thing covering him was the blanket. "Yikes!" He pulled the blanket closer to his chest.
"Oh don't be so modest boy," Granny chuckled. "I've been caring for pups like you for ages. It's nothing I haven't seen before."
"Yeah but I'd prefer it if you didn't see mine," Lance told her.
"Too late for that," Granny snickered. "But you certainly have nothing to be ashamed about. Not bad for a pup as young as yourself. In a few more years you'll fill out those muscles quite nicely. Not that you're not handsome now, eh Kima?"
"Grandma you embarrass our guest!" Kima giggled.
"Oh he'll get over it after some food in his stomach and a hot bath," Granny waved. She took a blue robe out of the closet and handed it to Lance. "You can wear this for now while your clothes are drying. Come child let's get him something to eat." They left the room.
"It's a good thing we found him before she did," Granny spoke in their native language.
"But Granny, you say he's not a virgin, so she wouldn't have been interested in him anyway," Kima remarked.
"You can never tell with that old bat! She might be desperate enough to go for him," Granny growled. "It is almost the full moon you know!"
"I know, we must protect him," Kima nodded.
Lance walked out with the blue robe on. "Ah that's better," Granny nodded. "Come and eat child, there's plenty."
Lance noticed that the table was low to the ground in Japanese style. He sat down trying to make sure that the robe kept him covered as he sat cross-legged. "Wow…" He blinked at the huge assortment of food before him.
"Eat up," Kima smiled and handed him a bowl of a sweet smelling soup. "I make it myself."
Lance sipped it. "This is really good," He blinked. "Man I didn't realize how hungry I was. I know Freddy would love this."
"Freddy?" Kima asked.
"Yeah he's…oh man!" Lance slapped his head. "I forgot about the rest of the gang! You don't know where they are do you?"
"You mean there are others?" Granny looked at him. "How many are males?"
"Uh…well there's Pietro, Fred and Toad…" Lance looked at her. "There's seven of us all total."
"Toad?" Kima asked.
"That's what we call him," Lance said. "He's real name is Todd. But there are two girls with them and one…well other."
"An other?" Kima blinked.
"Well technically Xi's not a guy," Lance said. "It's a long story."
"Never mind! Of the other males, how many of them are virgins?" Granny asked.
"What the hell kind of a question is that?" Lance asked.
"Never mind! Kima stay here with him. Don't leave this house," Granny ordered. "I'll go look for your friends."
"Wait a minute," Lance said. "I can't let you go searching for my friends alone! I mean, don't take it the wrong way but you're kind of…well…"
"Old? I think I can take care of myself," Granny grinned. "I have a lot of surprises for an old woman…"
