Ok get ready cause this is a long one. This is because it was originally 2 chapters I merged into one. Why you ask? Long story that I don't feel like explaining so I'll get to the point. We're five years ahead of the last chapter and speckles is almost 10. But some crazy stuff is about to go down. So Tighten your pants and hold on to your hats because here is chapter 9! ENJOY!

Chapter 9

Arming up for war

Jared, wake up your commander needs you. Said speckles.

I groaned and got up from my makeshift bed made from dirt and leaves.

Jared we have developed some new weaponry for you. Smith said.

Like what? I replied sleepily.

A sword and a new sniper.

And this couldn't wait until morning, why?

Because it's easier to scare people when they're sleepy.

I don't see what that's supposed to me-

A canister slammed into the ground.

I jumped back and landed on my back.

I shot up quickly. You're an ass you know that!?

I know! Smith said laughing.

Get the stuff and go back to bed smith out. He said still laughing.

I want to see what's inside! Speckles said excitedly.

Geez it's like Christmas to you huh?

Christmas?

It's a- gah screw it nevermind Ill let the tutors in the 21st century deal with teaching you about our cultures.

It was 5 years after we met blue eyes and speckles was almost 10 now. I opened it and found a strange sniper rifle, and sword. I took the sniper and put my old sniper in the canister which shot into the sky back to the ship.

Neat. I replied nonchalantly.

The next day Speckles turned 10.

I threw him a small celebration.

Well let's go hunt some dinner.

He said afterwards.

We were headed to speckles's and blue eye's "secret" hunting ground.

I turned 10. Now I'm as tall as quicks used to be!

Yea- what? Why are you telling me that? I asked.

I'm talking to the audio journal you gave me.

Ah...right. I said questioningly.

What? You gave me one.

Yeah but just right in the middle of walking? Nevermind.

We were hunting in the swamp where the tar pit was. We had developed a special strategy. speckles chased the target, blue eyes ambushed and I shot the legs to slow them down.

We had never let a target prey get away with this strategy.

On your go speckles, you ready?

I said through the comm link we had set up between the 3 of us.

Ya I'm good. Speckles said.

Blue eyes?

Ya. I'm rea- huh? She said.

One eye had snuck up on her. Speckles and blue eyes attacked him. I was in a tree directly above him. I unsheathed my sword that I had received for my suit and dropped down on him. He roared in pain.

Get out of here I'll distract him! I shouted.

He threw me on the ground and was about to kill me. Then speckles intervened.

Hey one eye! Over here!

Speckles. he said angrily

He lured one eye towards the tar pit.

Speckles what are you doing? I shouted quickly.

Alright here we go. He said.

He roared at one eye who began running at him. Speckles turned around jumped over the pit, one eye on the other hand ran directly into the tar and began sinking.

I got up and went over to speckles.

Adios, you one eyed slime ball. Speckles said.

Where the hell did you learn Spanish? I asked brushing the dust off my shoulders.

I don't know actually. He said.

It's weird to hear you talk so much like a human. I replied.

How else would I talk?

I don't know it's just weird hearing you saying a word from a language I didn't teach you and then also make it a joke. I mean you never acknowledge human society but then you go all multicultural. you're normally so serious and then you just say something like that it's so out of character... Oh forget it it's just weird cause you never say things like that.

The ground shook. I groaned. "Oh fudge." Only I didn't say fudge-.

Really? You're making jokes in your monologue?

Ya. That's why mine isn't as boring as yours speckles!

w... Shut up.

ok back to the story!

Huh? What a persistent beast! Seems nothing can stop him. Speckles shouted.

You see that sounds more like you!

What do we do?

Run. I said.

They ran and I shot one eye in the leg as I followed.

We were far from the forest when blue eyes fell from exhaustion. We saw a herd of torosaurus headed somewhere.

Those guys, where are they going? Asked speckles. We followed and found a hot spring. We spent the rest of the day wading leisurely in the spring.

I saw speckles and blue eyes talking and somehow despite the baby arms, were holding hands.

I'll keep you safe blue eyes.

Yes and I'll be there for when you screw up. I said with a staring in the same direction as them.

You always have to be part of the moment don't you? He said laughing.

Your damned right I do.

So there! That one was a doozy! Did you like the little monologue interuption there? And the Christmas Story reference? You know you loved it! Anyway I'm trying Give an explanation as to where exactly speckles's monologue in the movie came from. Also really am I the only one who thought that line of his was weird? Adios? That was out of character I think. Whatever. anyway I have illustrations but I'm still deciding how/if I should do that. So as always! Thanks for reading! And I will see you (hopefully) for chapter 10! Another thing is I would really like at least one review before I go into double digits of chapters. Cause I have no idea what people think of my story. So any suggestions, complaints, insults, ANYTHING would make me very grateful.
