Chapter 4
"Is this it?" Said a girl with brown hair.
"Yes he lives here." Said a girl with blonde hair.
"Hmm well lets ask him." Said the brown headed one.
They moved up to Tony's door and knocked on it.
"Yes?" Tony asked inside.
"Can we talk to you?" They asked.
"Of course hold on." Tony said.
They waited for a few minutes and Tony tapped them on the shoulder from behind them.
"How did you do that?" The blonde asked.
"Do what?" Tony asked propping his ax on his shoulder.
"Anyway I'm Celia and this is Muffy." Said the brown haired girl.
"So what's up?" Tony asked.
"We were wondering if you could help us with something." Muffy asked.
"Sure just let me feed my live stock and I'll be right with you." Tony said.
The girls waited for Tony and he came up to them in some casual clothes.
"So what can I do for you?" He asked.
"We need you to settle something." Celia said taking his hand and led Tony away.
She stopped before the fields of Vista's farm.
"Well?" Tony said.
Celia started blushing.
"Well uh you see I uh." Celia said.
"Yeah?" Tony said.
"Muffy and I well we both want to ask you out." Celia said.
"Like a date or something?" Tony said.
"Yeah." Celia said.
"Hmm there's a problem with this." Tony said.
"What?" Celia said.
"I don't even know who you two are. I've been here for 2 months and no one seems to know I exist. Heck I've been all over town and no one will talk to me. So I had to start talking to myself." Tony said.
"What?" Celia said.
"I talk to myself when I'm alone." Tony said.
"But what about Tanaka?" Celia asked.
"The old man? Sure I talk to him but all he does is grunt." Tony said looking around.
"Oh man why do the cute ones always have to be crazy?" Celia thought to herself.
"Look if I come visit you now and then will you go out with me?" Celia asked.
"Uh." Tony said and before he could answer Muffy grabbed his arm and led him away.
"Huh I'm popular with the ladies. Right on?" Tony thought as she led him away.
Muffy led Tony to the blue bar and had him sit down at the bar.
"So I want you to date me." Muffy said.
"Why?" Tony asked looking around.
"Well things are pretty boring around here so the girls compete with each other on who can get the most dates. I'm in the lead right now but if I don't get more dates soon I'm going to lose my title. If you help me defend my title..." Muffy said and unbuttoned her shirt a little.
"I'll make it worth your while." Muffy said.
"Uh can you button your shirt up your making me uncomfortable." Tony said.
"Huh your different then the other boys in town. I like that." Muffy said and leaned forward.
"I should give you a reward for being such a good boy." Muffy said about to kiss Tony.
Celia came into the bar and gasped.
"Muffy!" Celia said and Muffy smirked.
She grabbed Tony and kissed him on the lips shocking Celia. She then pulled Tony away from Muffy.
"You can't force yourself onto people Muffy!" Celia said.
"Sometimes you have to if your going to get any action." Muffy said licking her lips.
"Look at him Muffy." Celia yelled pointing at Tony.
Tony was sitting on the floor with tears in his eyes. He ran out the door and disappeared from sight.
"What he'll be fine." Muffy said and Celia slapped her.
"This is all your fault!" Celia said.
"Mine?!" Muffy said.
"This dating thing was your idea!" Celia said and ran after Tony.
She followed him to the beach where he looked at the sea.
"Tony?" Celia asked.
Tony sighed and saw a rock on the beach. He skipped it on the water and sat down.
"Are you okay?" She asked.
"Go away." Tony said and headed home.
He went into the house and put his work clothes back on. Tony looked in the mirror and blinked his eyes.
"What's wrong?" He asked himself.
"Well I got kissed by a girl." He said back.
"Ah I see so why are you upset? The mirror asked.
"It scared me I've never been kissed before." Tony said.
"You've been kissed before." The mirror.
"Really by who?" Tony said.
"That will have to come at another time Tony I have to go." The mirror said and the Tony in the mirror left.
"Huh well back to work." Tony thought and went to till his fields.
Celia watched Tony over the next few days to make sure he was okay. Now she had been watching him from afar for awhile now. If you call her a stalker she will deny it.
"I'm not a stalker I'm shy is all." Celia would say.
It's true she is very shy girl. However there is something about Tony that interests her. For starters while everyone in the valley hates Murray a strange little man who steals food and begs for money Tony always leaves food out for him every night to keep him out of his food storage unit. Also the wild animals that wander around the valley really seem to like him and at lately they spend more and more time on his farm. And the last thing she finds interesting is that he doesn't speak to people and speaks to himself and out loud calling himself different things like Hero Tony and the bouncer. The only friend that she knows he has is Daryl who he visits daily after his choirs are done.
"I want to be his friend yet after what happened a few days ago I don't think he'll even speak to me." Celia said.
The sun had gone down and Tony climbed onto his roof. He laid on a blanket and looked at the night sky as Celia watched him.
"Mother what should I do?" Tony thought with a sigh.
"Wait a minute. Mother?" Tony thought.
"Do I still have one?" He said rubbing his head.
He saw something glow and climbed down off of the roof.
It moved across his farm and through the pasture. Tony set out after it being careful not to disturb his sleeping animals. However the glowing ball flew under one of his cows.
"This looks like a job for Splatter house Tony." Tony thought putting the hockey mask on and took his shirt off. He rolled his cow over and the light flew away and Tony put moved the cow back patted it and ran after it.
"Where is it going?" He thought running even faster.
"No matter Sonic Tony can catch it." He thought and easily doubled his speed closing on the ball. He dived forward and caught the ball.
"No lets see what I've caught." He said and the ball popped and inside of it was a charm.
"What's this?" He thought pulling out a flash light and looked it over.
It was dragon pendant and on back was the word Tony.
"Tony that's my name." He thought.
Celia moved up to him and tapped his shoulder.
"Huh?" Tony asked and Celia jumped back for he was still wearing the hockey mask and that surprised her.
"Tony what are you doing out here so late?" She asked.
"Just catching a glowing ball look." Tony said showing her the charm.
"It says Tony on the back." Celia said.
"I think that's my name." Tony said.
"Well you already call yourself Tony how is that any different?" Celia asked.
"Read the rest of it." Tony said.
Celia looked at the charm and gasped.
"Tony Dias your named after the greatest farmer of all time?" Celia asked.
"Yes I think so I'm not really sure but I come from a long line of farmers. It's hard to remember but everyone in my family has been a farmer at one time or another at least for a year." Tony said gasped.
"I have a father and a sister but... I can't remember anything about them." Tony thought.
"So are you going to be okay?" Celia asked as Tony put on the pendant.
"Maybe and now I can grow up and forget about what I thought was my calling in life." Tony thought taking the mask off.
"What's that?" Celia asked.
"Being a hero." Tony sighed and dropped the mask and went home.
"What does coming from a long line of farmers have to do with being a hero?" Celia thought picking the mask up and held it close to her chest.
The next day Tony woke up early and started adding an addition to his house. He worked late into the day and finished the basic frame by the end of the day. A few days later he finished and looked around at his handy work.
"Now I am ready to begin." He thought and left the room he had just made with all kinds of tools and do dads in it and went to work in the fields. (What is Tony up too?)
