Chapter 7
Zatch's Friends
The next morning Kiyo left for school. Tia and Schneider came over a few minutes later.
Zatch: Tia Schneider hey.
Tia: Hi Zatch
Schneider: Meru mey.
Rein and Kyle came out. Kyle ran behind Rein with one look at Tia and Schneider.
Tia: Hey Rein me haven't seen you since Zatch's decree.
Tia walked toward Kyle who was holding Rein tighter and tighter as she got closer.
Rein: Kyle its ok she's a friend. Sorry Tia, Kyle is still shy around people he doesn't know, unless I know them, now.
Kyle let go and walk toward Tia.
Kyle: Hello, my…name is…Kyle.
Tia: Hi, my name is Tia.
Schneider: Meru-meru meru, meru mey.
Zatch: That's Schneider.
Kyle: Hello…Schneider.
Zatch: Tia, Schneider I know this is suppose to be just the 3 of us, but is it ok Rein and Kyle come with us?
Tia: Sure, but I don't know how people react seeing Rein.
Rein: No problem.
In a split second he transformed into his human form.
Tia: Huh, I didn't know you could do that.
Schneider: Meru mey?
Rein: that's because I only use it in public.
Tia: Oh. So Zatch where are we going today?
Zatch: I was thinking we can go to the Botanical Gardens. I haven't been there since the battle ended. I'm sure she'll be happy to see us.
Tia: Well let's go.
Rein: Kyle, do you want to see some plants?
Kyle: Yes.
Mrs. Takamichi walked to Zatch Rein and Kyle and gave them lunch.
Mrs. Takamichi: I didn't know what to make for you two, so I just made some yellow-tail Sandwich like Zatch's.
Rein: Don't worry. We're ok with Yellow-Tail sandwiches.
They start walking to the gardens, while at the same time Zatch gave Rein and Kyle the tour of the parts of the town they passed.
At the edge of the city a motorcyclist Jed and the mamodo Ted was looking over the town.
Ted: Zatch is here, but at the same time he's moving.
Jed: That's good. That mean's they're not at the mamodo world anymore.
Ted: Yeah, I also since Tia and Schneider, plus one more with him.
Jed: Considering the battle is over and only the good mamodos are here in the human world. The other one must be a friend.
Ted: It's strange. Ever since we came here to visit Zatch, I can since a lot of mamodos.
They drive off heading to the gardens where Zatch and the others are heading.
Zatch Tia Schneider Kyle and Rein made it and notice that Kolulu and Lori were there.
Kolulu: Ah, Zatch Tia Schneider over here.
Zatch: Kolulu what are you doing here?
Kolulu: Lori is on a class field trip here, and the teacher was nice enough to let me tag along. What about you guys?
Zatch: We're here to visit.
Kolulu look up to Rein and Kyle.
Zatch: Kolulu this guy here is Rein, in his hidden form. And this human partner Kyle.
Kolulu: Nice to meat you Kyle.
Kyle ran behind Rein ad hung to him.
Rein: Sorry Kyle shy, he did the same thing when he met Tia and Schneider.
Zatch: Kyle, Kolulu is a nice friendly mamodo. There's nothing to be shy about.
It took a while for Kyle to let go and they headed in the Botanical Gardens.
Ivy: Huh? Zatch, hey Zatch over here.
Zatch: Hi Ivy. I hope you don't mind but I brought some of my friends today. Tia Schneider Rein and Kyle.
He pointed to each of them.
Ivy: It's not a problem; any friend of Zatch can come as long as they don't harm the plants here.
Zatch: Don't worry.
They walked around helping with some of the plants.
Tia: I don't see Lori any where.
Kolulu: I think she said she's working in the exotic tree section.
Zatch: I know where that is.
Rein: You seem to know where everything is, Zatch.
Zatch: Yeah, believe it or not this is where Kiyo and I burned our second book. Right after meeting Brago. And after that I came here to help out some times when I'm not being chased by Naomi.
After a while, everyone had a fun time playing. They even found Lori.
Outside…
Ted: This is where they're at.
Jed: well this I'll be able to enter but I don't know about you. It said it cost money to come in.
Ted: I do have the money. Don't forget I didn't come back broke.
Jed: Yeah, Yeah.
In the hotel room Sherry and Brago was staying at.
Brago: Another is here.
Sherry: Brago does it really matter if mamodos come and go any more? The battle is over after all.
Brago: I just since them as they come and go. It's not my fault Zatch became a popular mamodo during the battle.
Botanical Gardens…
Zatch and Tia were helping Ivy, planting some of the plants at the gardens. Rein and Kyle was looking at the different species. Schneider was just looking around. Kolulu was with Lori studying the different species.
Tia: Am I doing this right?
Ivy: Yeah that's right; make sure they get plenty of water.
Zatch: It feels great to be back here again.
Ivy: Where have you guys been?
Zatch: Well we went back to our original home town, but we were able to come back.
Ivy: That makes since.
A voice: I don't get the whole Botany thing.
Zatch and Tia turned around and saw that Ted and Jed were standing there.
Zatch: Ted, what are you doing here?
Ted: I'm here to visit you guys. I also since another mamodo here that I don't recognize.
Zatch: Must be Rein you're sensing; right now you wouldn't be able to recognize him, because he's in his human form.
Jed: where is he any ways?
Tia: He's with his human partner Kyle, but I might want to warn you Kyle is shy around strangers.
Ted: Ah, that's alright. No need to scare a kid who hasn't done anything.
The rest of the day, they went to the park. Naomi didn't even try to torture Zatch seeing how many friends were with him. Every one returned to Kiyo's house where Kiyo was home.
Kiyo: You finally came home. I was wondering when you return.
Zatch: Sorry, but we had a great time even Kyle.
Kiyo: That's good.
He notice that Ted and Jed was in the house.
Kiyo: Ted, Jed, long time no seeks.
Jed: Same here. Zatch was telling us about the results of the door project and the reunion.
Kiyo: Yeah, it seems that he likes to talk about it everytime he gets a chance.
Zatch: Why not? This reminds me. Any news on Dr. Riddles?
Kiyo: No, I would of thought we would of hear from them.
There was a knock on the door.
Zatch: Got it.
Tia: The reunion would be the great thing, but unless we know how to contact all of them.
Kiyo: Other than Lien and Wonrei, at least they don't have anything to worry about till the reunion.
Dr. Riddles: Yes other than the work they do at the house.
Dr. Riddles and Kiddo came in with Zatch.
Kiyo: I thought you were going to contact us when you were done with the mission?
Dr. Riddles: Well the remaining mamodos were here, apparently.
Zatch: Which means you know where each mamodo that came here is at, and how to contact them.
Kiddo: That's right! Even Sherry and Brago.
Kiyo: We already knew that, they're staying at a hotel here in town. They visited us the same time Rein and Kyle.
The rest of the day everyone had a good time. Ted and Jed stayed in the same room as Kyle and Rein since there was no other place for them to stay. Dr. Riddles stayed in the same hotel Sherry and Brago was staying at. It was a good time, no one hardly argue.
