Chapter 7: Lost In Translation
(Bernard's POV)
"Aloha!"
A black-skinned girl, wearing clothes that showed all her curves, left a necklace of pink flowers around my neck. Another girl, with the same provocative attitude, leaves another necklace of yellow flowers and a kiss in Wayne's cheek.
"What the..."
"WELCOME TO HONOLULU!"
Wayne gasped. "Wait... are we... in Hawaii?"
Oh my... My bad luck keeps chasing me, but this time it isn't my fault. Wayne was the one who bought the tickets. We were supposed to land in Hobart, Australia, ...not in Honolulu.
"WAYNEEEE!"
"Hey, relax, relax! Don't look at me like that!"
My right hand is still healing all the bruises it got the day when this story began. And yes, I adore him that much. But sometimes -like now- I'd like to smash his face against the ground. Hobart! Honolulu! They're different enough!
"Wayne... Better you have an explanation for this mess..."
"Eh... I'm not very good memorizing names, eh..."
For God's sake, why is he so stupid sometimes? Australian fans will be disappointed...
"Arg... This means one day late in our tour. We'll have to move all the concerts, create a new videolog for our Youtube's channel, saying "Sorry Australia, we're in Hawaii because we're just awesome like that". Oh yes, our fans will love this, all our tour is in trouble, for a single mistake... and you know who's the one who will clean this disaster, right?"
I never liked the idea of give him a lecture, but someone has to put him in his place. And I know he's my boss after all, an irresponsible yet sexy one, but I'm his manager and I'm doing it for his own's sake!
"I'm... I'm sorry..."
Oh no. No the kicked puppy eyes. Don't do that...
"Not buying it.", I answer, trying too hard not to meet his gaze.
"Please, we're in Hawaii, can't we have a little fun? And sure Mozart will love this place too! Can we stay a couple of days? Please, please, please, pretty please?
"Meeeoooww...", Mozart, my cat, seems to support him.
Not buying it...
"Mozart, do you remember who's your owner, right?"
He purred a bit, leaning against Wayne's leg. And his eyes caught me off guard...
"Pleeeeease, Bernard."
Not buying it, not buying it... But it's something almost impossible with those eyes, and that mouth, and that face... And more with Mozart doing exactly the same... Arg, alright! I can't say no to those kicked puppy eyes!
"Uuuunnnmmf. Fiiine. You won this round. But we aren't going to do anything embarrasing!"
(Wayne's POV - A few hours later)
And then, a huge explosion came from the crater. This volcano is still alive!
"Man, you're SO DEAD now...!", he said, keeping his grumpy tone in his terrified expression.
"Just RUN, RUN, RUUUUUUUN!", I answered, running for our lifes.
Ok, maybe visit the volcano wasn't my best idea. How was I going to know that this volcano was ready to explode? I can't read minds, or predict disasters! These things just... happen!
"If we survive, I'll choose a better place to visit!", he cried out.
'That's right, if we survive'. That's all I could think that moment. But Bernard couldn't run to save his life, literally (he was already panting). But we need to escape, and...
"AAAAHHH!"
Oh, no! He has fallen! He must rise, why he...?
"Bernard! Come on! Bernard!", despite my call, he doesn't answer.
Wait... we're too much near of the volcano, and... maybe I didn't notice them because I'm an alien after all, but volcanos usually have toxic gases, right? Maybe... Oh, no, Bernard...
"Don't worry, baby sparrow! Everything will be fine!"
Damnit, I'll have to use them again... With this I'll lose a week of my life, for sure... But he can't die like this!
...
All happened too fast. I picked him up in my arms, fortunately no one was watching, and I flew far from the danger, as fast as I could. We landed near the beach, surrounded by palm trees, and he coughed.
"Hey, Bernard, wake up, eh, eh...", I touched his face to wake him up. He tried to answer, hesitating. But he couldn't move a finger. He closed slowly his eyes.
"Don't dare to close your eyes... Don't do it..."
He did.
"Mmmm... don't worry, I'll fix this... I'll do it..."
Now we need help... but who will help strangers like us? There are too many people in the beach, and I need someone of these islands, able to understand the effects of accidents like this... Well, this wasn't an accident. It was totally my fault. Why do I end always hurting the people who truly cares for me? Sigh... I'm such an horrible man... alien... thing...
"Hey, can I take you a photo?"
I open my eyes, in front of me there are a little girl and her... dog? Mozart seems scared of that thing... whatever it is. With her dark skin, and black hair... Perhaps she's my last hope.
"Thank God you're here!", I shake her hand, "I- err, I mean, he needs help!"
"Uh... thanks... who are you talking about?"
I showed her Bernard's body, he was unconscious, and she gasped.
"Omg, YOU KILLED HIM!"
"No, no, I can explain this! He's... ill! And he needs medical treatment now!
She glares at me. Unfortunately, she doesn't trust me yet... until her dog approaches me. And smiles.
"Hi..."
"Huh... Hi.", I've seen really weird things, but a blue dog able to talk is one of the rarest things I've ever seen in all my life.
"What are you doing, Stitch?"
I can't believe it. The dog is talking with her! Maybe it isn't a real dog after all... but her expression is softening. Maybe this "Stitch" can feel our emotions... mine, actually. And the girl finally takes her decision.
"Ok, I'll trust you this time. Let's go to the hospital!"
(Bernard's POV - Evening)
Everything is white around me. Am I dead? Surely I am... and I couldn't tell Wayne the truth, damnit... I couldn't say him goodbye...
"Aloha, Bernard. How are you?"
Eh? Who's talking?
Next to me there is a little girl. She smiles softly.
"Who are you...? I believe I'm fine... Where is Wayne?"
She looks a bit younger than my niece. Sure Jess and this kid could become good friends. And now I'm realising it: I'm in the hospital. How much time passed since volcano's accident? Why am I here? Is Wayne OK?
"My name is Lilo. And don't worry, he's with Stitch. Do you want to see him?"
"Yes, please."
My heart aches. What if he suffered injuries, or bruises, or something... in order to save me? I can't stand that image on my head... He's supposed to be invulnerable, but it was an angry volcano his enemy this time...
