Chapter Four
A/N: Sorry this took so long to think of doing, but I'm going to do some shout outs/reply to reviews type thing. For those who have an account I can PM to directly from the review thread, I will. SpiritedandLoyal is an exception, I have her PM thread :) So for those of you who like my stuff, but don't review because you think I can't reply, please, still review! :)
Evus: I'm so happy to be doing another one. With Teen Love on HIATUS and being off and on, I wanted to have a series that gets regular visits so people always have something new to read :) If you were here from the beginning, why didn't you say so? I would have done this so much sooner! Thank you for leaving a review :)
So, now, onto the story. Enjoy, please review, as I always say! :)
Rythian walked up to the library, and went inside. The bookcases were carved into the walls, and it was all made from raw wood. Everything was perfectly sanded down, and smooth. He went over to the first shelf, and picked up the first book.
"The Gardens, The Dirtmension and other peaceful dimensions," He read out loud.
He shrugged, and walked over to a table in the corner that had a small lamp on it. He flicked the lamp on, and set down the book. He sat down in the wooden chair, and began reading.
Meanwhile...
Teep went to the top of the tree, and positioned himself at a window. It had no cross bars like the others, it was just an open hole that looked out onto the forest. He pulled out his bow, knocked an arrow and aimed for an apple that was growing at a dodgy angle, so stuck above the tree tops. It was shiny red, and perfectly ripe. He took a deep breath, and fired. The arrow had a spin on it, and it cut straight through the stem, dropping the apple to the forest floor.
He continued this cycle for many more apples, and when he was out of arrows plodded downstairs and ventured into the forest to collect his arrows and all the apples.
When he came back, his quiver was full again, and he had a bag full of apples in his hands. He was munching on one in one hand, and when he passed the girls he offered them one each, which they graciously accepted. He bounded happily back upstairs, to go shoot some more apples off trees.
At the same time...
Elm walked upstairs to his workshop. She sat down, and picked up a spanner. He tightened a few loose bolts, before picking up new cogs and slotting them onto the corresponding axis. He pushed cogs into place, tightened bolts, and drilled the case together happily.
Teep walked past, his bow in hand and running down the stairs. Elm ignored him, and carried on with his machine. If it worked, he would be able to turn apples into juice automatically, with the pips and such separated. He began humming as he worked, contently soldering pieces together and bending wires into place.
A few minutes later, Teep walked by again, this time with a bag full of apples. He spotted Elm, and walked inside. He tapped him on the shoulder, and Elm turned around.
"Yes Teep?"
Teep held out an apple. Elm smiled and accepted it, taking a large bite out of it. "Thank you Teep!" He called as the dinosaur walked away.
While all this was happening, downstairs...
Zoey dropped all the mushrooms into one big pile, as did Ivy.
"So, let's sort them by colour first, then make shortlists for each colour, before putting those into a shortlist, and then choosing the final seven," Ivy planned, already speerating the brown mushrooms.
"Good plan!" Zoey commented, picking out the red mushrooms and making a pile of those.
They went through with the plan, first separating the brown mushrooms from the red, and then making a shortlist for each.
"So! For the reds I have; Jerry, Ben, Sarah, Steve, Emily, Evie, George and Tom. Who have you got?" Zoey said.
"Okay, so in the browns I have; Jake, Charlotte, Adam, Lewis, Duncan, Leonard, Bernadette and Sheldon. Time to make a new shortlist," Ivy responded.
They put them together, and out of the sixteen picked ten. They didn't notice Teep going past.
"Good! So now we have; Jerry, George, Bernadette, Duncan, Charlotte, Leonard, Sheldon, Jake, Evie and Emily. Time to pick the final seven," Ivy listed.
Zoey nodded, and they set about trying to pick the final seven. Just then, Teep walked in holding a bunch of apples. He held one out to each girl, and they accepted. They each took a bite when they were trying to concentrate, and eventually they made their decision.
"Thank notch that's over! So our final seven are; Jerry, Bernadette, Duncan, Charlotte, Jake, Evie and Emily. Perfect!" Zoey exclaimed, picking them up.
In the Dirtmension...
Peter set the photo aside and gathered his stuff. He wiped his eyes and walked out the front door. He walked over to the portal out of the Dirtmension, and stepped through.
He came out at a towering city, with high-rises everywhere and cars zipping along. He blended in fairly well, with his jeans and t shirt. He walked along, and went into a store. He browsed for a bit, before finding a map. He picked it up, and rummaged his pockets for some spare change. He pulled out the coins, and saw he had just enough to but it.
He walked over to the counter and bought the map, then went back outside. He looked across it, and saw at the top 'A Map of New Mine City'. At least he knew where he was.
He saw a park on the map, and decided to go there. He started walking.
Meanwhile...
Rell was sat on the bench in the park, twiddling his thumbs. He was waiting. He didn't know what for, but he was waiting.
A/N: I hope you enjoyed! Til' the next time, keep on keepin' on!
