Chapter 4: Gadget
Bella: What a world we live in where candles haven't been invented yet.
She smirked at me so I know it was sarcasm.
Caves. Horrid, dusty, smelly places. I wanted out, ruins or no ruins. Bella seemed to be leading me in circles. Was she trying to anger me? I couldn't take it.
Hellgar: AGH! I want OUT of this smelly cave!
Bella: But don't you want to learn about time travel?
Hellgar: Not if I have to stay in this damn cave any longer.
Bella: Well!
Hellgar: And another thing: Whay are you taking me in circles?
She flashed a grin at me. I scowled.
Hellgar: You think this is a joke?
Bella: You don't see it, do you?
Hellgar: See what?
Bella: We're time traveling.
I stood in disbelief. Time traveling by waltzing around the same scenery for lord knows how long?
Hellgar: What? How are we-
Bella: Time traveling?
Hellgar: Yes. We just been-
Bella: Walking around in circles all day?
Hellgar: Yeah. It feels like-
Bella: We've been here forever?
Hellgar: Quit that. And yeah!
Bella: Look at your watch.
I couldn't believe my eyes. The time had not changed. 12:04pm... Nothing changed. As long as it felt like... Time had stopped moving.
Hellgar: No... No way...
Bella: Still don't believe?
I shook my head.
Bella: GADGET! GET OUT HERE!
Here shockingly loud voice startled me. A small green creature flew in like Isabella did, only this time faster, like he was falling... He was falling. I rushed over and caught him. I stared at him.
Hellgar: What is this thing?
Bella: That's Gadget the Chao. Careful, he bites.
I ignored her warning and looked at him as he slowly open his eyes. He stared at me speechless for a moment, the jerked away.
Gadget: Don't touch me.
Hellgar: Hello? Didn't I just save you? A little respect, please?
Gadget: A little personal space, please?
I wanted to bite his armor covered head off as he dusted himself off.
Bella: I didn't say he would bite with his teeth-
Hellgar: Can it, Isabella. Now-
I glared at Gadget.
Hellgar: What do you have to do with time travel?
Gadget: Well, missy, with that attitude, you'll be getting no farther than the beginning.
He laughed at me. Bella was giggling too. These people were pressing my luck.
Bella: Try asking again, but nicer.
Hellgar: Fine then! Gadget-
Gadget: Nope!
