Chapter 6: Fred

"Ronjad," whispered Lovrina to him as he slept in his bed next to hers, "Ronjad? Are you awake yet? Ronjad?" He continued to sleep through her talking to him.

She started to poke him, no response to that. She started put her hand on his face and slide it across him cheek, still no response to it. She pulled off his covers, he started shiver, but he stopped and continued to sleep. "Ok," she said to him, "I was hoping I wouldn't have to resort to this, but I guess I'll have to now."

She started to tickle him. At first, he didn't do anything, but he started to chuckled and then he started to laugh. She got onto the bed with him and continue to tickle because was starting to enjoy it a lot. He was now laughing hysterically and rocking back and forth. "I'm glad you are awake now," she said to him with a smile.

Unfortunately, since she was now on the bed kneeling beside him, he was in range of hitting her as he rocked back and forth with laughter. He kneed her with his left knee knocking the wind out of her and making her fall on top of him. He woke up once she fell on his stomach. He looked at her and said, "What are you doing?"

"You were being difficult to wake up," she said to him with a smile as she got off his stomach, the bed, and back onto her feet, "I thought I wake you up! Isn't nice to have a girlfriend who knows how to wake you up?"

"Umm…" he said, "By jumping onto my and laying on my stomach? That's your way of waking me up? If it is, we need to have a talk right now about personal space when I sleep."

"Actually I was trying to wake you up by tickling you," Lovrina said embarrassingly, "In an accident; you kneed me while you were laughing which knocked me onto your stomach."

Ronjad looked at her blankly and then sighed. "As long as you weren't trying anything funny," he said to her, "But I still need my space when I'm sleeping. So please don't wake me up by tickling me."

"Ok," she said giving him to ok sign and then pulling out an air horn from her backpack near her bed, "Then next time I'll use this air horn. Would that be better instead of tickling you?"

"Let me think this over," said Ronjad thinking about it, "Air horn, very loud and can give me a heart attack because I be surprised or tickling me which makes me just laugh. Hmm………… go with the tickling instead of air horn ok?"

"So thing!" she said with a smile and then saying before she left the room, "Also, don't forget. Pancakes are being served for breakfast this morning! You don't want to miss out on this!"

"Right!" said Ronjad switching out of his shorts for clean ones, "I'll be right down there then!" He then shoved on a new shirt and ran out of the room to catch up with Lovrina.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"You know," said Lovrina to Ronjad as he cut through his pancakes with his fork, "It could be a lot easier if you if you use a fork to cut those things up."

"Yeah," he said as then forked a piece he cut up and then ate it, "So what is you point?"

"Ah forget it," she mumbled using her knife to cut the pancakes. Brad, Ronjad, Sakura, her sisters, and herself where all eating pancakes that Sasuki made. Everything at the table was really quiet expect for Lovrina talking to Ronjad and everyone eating their food.

"Does your shoulder still hurt?" Brad asked Ronjad, "Yesterday you came back complaining your shoulder hurt from using the gun. What'd you do? Shot your shoulder."

"Ha ha," Ronjad replied to him, "I'll let you know that Clot Python has a big recoil in every shot you shoot off. I like to see you try it on for size strong guy."

"Stop arguing at the table," said Kome, "I hate it when people argue when I'm around. So take it outside or you have to deal with me!"

"Oh touchy," he said unimpressed.

"Yeah right," said Brad, "Do you worse, you won't be making us get out of here."

"Umm Brad and JD," said Sakura nervously looking at her sister get up out of her chair, "You may want to take back everything you just said now. You kind of pissed off my sister with the bad attitude."

"Too late for that little sis," said Kome stomping towards Brad and Ronjad, "I'm taking care of this now. They won't listen to my warning; they'll just have to pay."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tory walked down the path to the general store walking by the big white house Lovrina said yesterday that she was staying in. "Man," said Tory blushing and looking at the house, "Why do I have a crush on her? I only spent an hour with her and I already fell in love with her. She wouldn't like me and plus she said she had a boyfriend. This is one of the worse things to ever happen to me, expect when the TV channel The WB turned into CW."

All of a sudden, the front door opened up and a guy in dark sunglass, white baseball cap, gray short, and dirt blond and brown hair came flying out. He crashed onto the ground in front of the house, got to his feet, and yelled, "That wasn't very nice of you! I thought girls were supposed to be made of sugar, spice, and everything nice!"

Then a teenager the same age as the other came flying out as well crashing into the first teen knocking him down again. He had dark shaggy hair, very big, wore light blue shorts, white t-shirt covered in sand now, and hiking boots. "Man," he said getting to his feet and then helping up the other guy, "She sure as a strong throwing arm. We are going to have to watch out for that in the future next time."

"Whatever," the first teen said dusting himself off, "Let's just go stay in the store for a little bit until Kome cools down, hopefully."

"Hey what was up with that?" asked Tory to the two teenagers come where now walking to the store, "What the heck happened in there?"

"Bad, horrible things," said the second guy, "It's too horrifying to tell and if I did, it would chill your soul."

"I haven't seen you two before," said Tory as he followed the two teens to the store, "Did you just move? Who are you two anyways?"

"The name is Ronjad Dark," the first teen said and then pointed at the other guy, "And this is my associate, Brad Potter."

"Who are you calling associate?" he said to Ronjad, "I'm more of a hangout with whomever kind of guy. So classify me as that."

"You want to be classified as a loser with no friends?" said Ronjad opening the door to the store, "That's how I see it."

"Ah shut up," Brad replied in a mumble. They all entered and sat at the counter. The store owner was on the phone trying to call someone, but wasn't having any luck.

"Come on Fred," mumbled the store owner, "Pick up the damn phone. I know you are out there. Dammit!" He hung the phone up and sighed.

"What's the problem Cang?" asked Tory to the owner, "Having difficulties?"

"Yeah," mumbled Cang, "I been trying to get in touch with Old Fred for the last 20 minutes. I wanted to call him that the fertilizer he ordered came in. He's probably working on his garden by now, but he should have been able to here the phone ringing in his home."

"Maybe we should deliver the thing to him," said Ronjad referring to himself and Brad, "I mean, if you want that is."

"You really want to take that stinky bag of fertilizer?" asked Cang and then he pointed to the big sack, "Go ahead, it's stinking up this store and I need it out of here."

"Why did you volunteer us to make a delivery?" said Brad as he followed Ronjad over to the bag, "That thing smells like Tauros crap."

"That's because it is," said Ronjad looking at the bag, "Besides, we can do a good deed here and deliver this thing to Fred. Plus we can blow some time until Kome cools down."

"Fine I'll help," said Brad lifting the bag, "But when we get there, you have to carry it out of the jeep and to Fred. I'm going to carry it to your jeep and load it in."

"You want to come?" Ronjad asked Tory.

"Sure why not?" he replied and then said to Cang, "If my cousin Christie comes in looking for me, tell her I'm with some friends."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So what's up with this Fred," Ronjad asked Brad and Tory as he drove down the road and to Old Fred's home, "What kind of guy is he?"

"From what my cousin told me, he's been living in this town for about at least since he was born," said Tory, "He has a little garden to grow some food and as a bunch of Mareep like the local rancher."

"He doesn't really often come into town from all the time I spent here," said Brad, "He lives just about the same distance as Edger use to. From what I heard, they were good friends."

"Should we tell him then about what happened to Edger than?" asked Ronjad as past by the workers on the side of the road working.

"Nah," said Tory, "We should hurt him like that." Brad nodded in agreement and Ronjad sighed.

They continued down the road until they came up to Fred's house. They all jumped out of the jeep and Tory and Brad headed towards the house while Ronjad unload the jeep. "I could use some help here with bag," said Ronjad having a hard time lifting the bag out of the truck.

"Umm… Ronjad?" said Brad with a shiver in his voice, "Could you come here right now? You see, we have a problem."

"What?" said Ronjad slowly making his way over the bag, "Whoa! What's that other smell besides this bag?" He looked to where the guys were looking at. The pin that looked like it was supposed to have held the Mareep was a bloodbath. Chucks of flesh were the only thing besides the blood splattered against the pen of the Mareep.

"Shit man," replied Brad to Ronjad as he drop the bag to the ground, "This is crazy shit! What the hell happened here?"

"I don't know," said Tory looking around the pen, "But I'm sure as hell not stay here!"

"We got to find Fred," said Brad heading into his house, "We can't just leave him out here. Fred!" Everyone started to look around, but no signs of him.

Ronjad and Tory entered another pen where there were a bunch of plants growing, a scarecrow, and a hat laying into middle of the area. Brad came running up to them and saying, "No sign of Fred inside. Is he out here?"

"Just his hat," said Tory pointing to the hat in the center of the area, "Maybe he went to Ecruteak City or something and while he was gone, some Pokemon or animals attacked this Mareep."

"It's possible," said Ronjad walking over to the hat and kneeling down to look at it, "But I'm not too sure about that." He took a long look at the hat and then pulled it off the ground. Underneath was a horror, it was Fred's head staring up at them. He was for sure dead.

Ronjad screamed, fell backwards, flipped onto his stomach, and start to drag himself away with his hands. Brad then saw what he saw and screamed jumping at least 3 feet into the air. Tory finally then saw and screamed as well. "I'm out of here!" he screamed running for the jeep and jumping into it, "Let's get out of here!"

Ronjad finally got back to his feet by Brad's help. Both of them took one last look at the head and took off. Ronjad jumped into the driver's seat quickly and started the jeep as fast as he could. Brad jumped into the back of the jeep as it started to peel out. They all thought about the same thing, "What the hell is going on here?"

Author Notice: That was gory, but that was the scene of the movie. I had to describe the horror the best I could. Did I give you all a chill?

I'm have some more sad news, last time it was Pluto not being a planet anymore. Now it's much sadder, our favorite person of Animal Planet, Steve Irwin also known as the Crocodile Hunter died yesterday while filming. He was stunned in the heart by a manta ray's tail. We shall always remember him for his crazy stunts, such as jumping onto the back of a crocodile. (Steve Irwin: Age 44: 1964-2006) May he rest in peace.

It's time for that special event everyone. It's time for the Top 5 Stories of the Month. These are the top 5 for the month of August:

This month I liked to know about if you read any good Naruto, Chrono Crusade, or Super Smash Bros stories. If you do, tell me so I can take a look into the story. That is all.

I have been having some troubles recently with the reviewing thing. Lately, when people reviewed, I can't read the reviews on this website, but they say they don't exist even though I receive an e-mail everything someone reviews. Any of you having this same problem?

In the next chapter… why should I really say? You all watched Tremors, you should know what happens next in the movie. If you haven't, save yourself some time and watch it. It's pretty good.
