Last time on Thomas and CJ Are in Love...

''C-CJ?'' asked Thomas.

''Thomas?'' CJ was bewildered.

''Uhhh...'' said Jay.

Chapter Four: The Conversation (Part Two)

''What a coincidence!'' said CJ. ''How did this happen?''

Thomas shrugged his shoulders in confusion. How could this happen? ''I don't know,'' he replied.

Jay was just as confused. He got in his car and drove away quickly.

''Should we go anyway?'' asked CJ. ''I really like that place. The food is delicious.''

''Oh, the Pirate's Palace? I guess... we could still go, but...''

''Alright. Like we said, tomorrow, 10:30 PM. Got it?''

Thomas put his hands in his pockets. ''Fine...'' He walked off, walking to go back to the park, where work was waiting for him.

Muscle Man had gotten some more money, and used it to buy a small apartment. He and Hi-Five Ghost also got some printers too.

''Yo Fives,'' Muscle Man asked his ghostly friend. ''Should we continue writing?''

''I'm not sure Muscle Man,'' Fives said. ''After all, you got in trouble last time.''

''I'll think about it.''

''Ok.''

A few hours later...

''Well, what the hell?'' Muscle Man said. ''I have all these printers and equipment. I gotta make another one!''

The next day at the college...

''Thomas, what are you doing here?'' said his roommate Louis, a human.

''Nothing, I thought we had classes today,'' said Thomas. ''Is it Friday yet?''

Louis shook his head. ''No, it's Saturday. I have to study, but you don't. Oh, yeah, you missed out on our party, dude!''

''Damn! I was sleeping at the park! Well, I gotta go back now.'' Thomas headed for the door.

''Wait!''

''What is it, Louis?'' Thomas turned around.

Louis explained. ''I saw some green man selling newspapers at the break of dawn outside my window, and I bought one.'' He handed it to the goat.

''Two Peaks News, huh?'' Thomas went through it. ''Typical fake crap, letters, reviews...'' Then he suddenly shouted ''OH, NO!''

''What?''

''Muscle Man wrote about me again! Somehow he found out me and my friend CJ are going on a date!''

Louis shrugged. ''So?''

''I said the rumors in the last issue weren't true,'' whined Thomas. ''Then I kinda got interested in CJ and then...''

''There's another one?'' asked Louis. ''And also, why are you going on a date when you said to me a few days ago you didn't want to go out with her?''

''I don't know... But I don't know if I should go.''

''We're having another party tonight. You should go there if you're not on a date.''

''I'm going on a date tonight at 10:30.''

''Damn. Where are you going?''

''The Pirate's Palace.''

Louis gasped. ''THE PIRATE'S PALACE?'' He covered his mouth and vomited into them while Thomas looked on, disgusted.

''I'm confused.'' he said.

''The Pirate's Palace...'', continued Louis. ''It... brings... up... some terrible... memories... Last time... I-I-I-I-I-''

Thomas yawned. ''Will you get on with it?'' he asked impatiently.

''Some waiters took me away and put me in a dark closet, where I was tortured for six hours straight.''

The young groundskeeper started sweating nervously.

''And then, I was bludgeoned almost to death by the same waiters, this time for six minutes.''

The intern kept sweating.

''And then they-''

''STOP IT! I WON'T GO! I WON'T GO!'' shouted Thomas.

The principal of the college entered the dorm.

''Will you two shut up!?''

''Sorry,'' Louis apologized.

Thomas wiped his forehead. ''Sorry.''

The principal said. Louis then told Thomas, ''Bottom line: If you know what's good for ya, don't go to the Pirate's. Go somewhere else if you can.''

''Alright.''

''And one more thing: All reservations are final. You can't get out of them. Ever.''

Thomas decided to ask Louis one more question before he went to the park.

''What did you do that made those waiters almost kill you?''

Louis sighed. ''Nothing,'' he said. ''They're that sadistic. Anyway, have fun with that ''CJ'' of yours.''

Next time: Thomas and CJ come across a dangerous secret.
