It's Time to go Home Already?
The next day the Misfits were having a beach party with their new friends. "I gotta admit it, I look good in this!" Pietro admired himself in a white and red outfit similar to the one Lance was wearing.
"It is quite comfortable," Xi admitted liking his silver and black one. "Thank you Granny for lending them to us."
"Well it's the least I can do for all you've done," Granny grinned in her human form. She was roasting a very large fish over an open fire.
"Well the extra bathing suits are pretty good too," Althea remarked. She was in a red bathing suit and Wanda was in a black one.
"Uh if you guys want to go swimming be my guest," Pietro gulped as he saw a huge starfish on the shoreline. "Me and the guys are going to kick back and relax! Right Lance?"
Lance was sitting with Kima who was wearing her white bikini. His shirt was off and she was tending his back. He winced. "Ow! That hurts!"
"Here this should finish making your back all better," Kima poured more water on him. The final scars disappeared.
"Looks like Lance got over Kitty pretty quickly," Fred chuckled as he munched on a huge mango. He was wearing a light blue hakama and shirt. He looked at Todd who was wearing a green outfit of his own.
"You know…" Todd happily munched on what seemed to be the carcass of a giant dragonfly. "Once you get used to the giant animals (munch!) It really ain't so bad here!"
"Uh…" Pietro whispered to Granny. "Thanks again for not mentioning…you know."
"YEOW! HOT! SAND IS HOT!" Todd hopped around wildly.
"Todd I told you to wear your sandals," Althea snapped.
"I think I understand why you don't want to tell him," Granny said. "Don't worry, it will be our little secret."
"Lance I want to thank you," Kima said as Lance put his shirt on. "You so brave! You save Kima's life!"
"Well…it's the least I can do to repay you," Lance blushed. "Kima…I wanna ask you something…"
A loud friendly call interrupted him. "What the…?" He looked up in the sky and saw someone with wings and a tail flying towards them.
"Who is that?" Wanda asked. "Is that another Dragon Half?"
"Of course it is," Kima waved to the figure in the sky.
"You really didn't think Kima was the only one of her kind did you?" Granny asked. "There've been a lot of shipwrecks along these islands over the past two hundred years."
"Nakano!" Kima waved. "Down here!"
"Nakano?" Lance blinked. He then saw a red haired half dragon with a long red tail and red dragon wings. He was wearing a brown and red tunic.
"Hi there!" Nakano said cheerfully as he landed. He hugged Kima. "You speaking English?"
"Yes meet our guests from America," Kima said. "This is Lance. He helped us fight the Orochi."
"The Orochi got loose?" Nakano asked.
"Yes but Lance and his friends stopped her and put her back," Kima said. "Lance this is Nakano, my ia-mana!"
"Ia-what?" Lance asked.
"It's a word in our language. It means Nakano is Kima's intended," Granny said.
"Intended? You mean he's her…?" Pietro asked.
"That's right," Nakano said. "Her fiancée."
"F-fiancée?" Lance gulped.
"Boy Lance you sure can pick 'em can't you?" Pietro snickered. Todd and Fred laughed.
"Hey at least you got some tail out of it," Todd snickered.
"NOTHING HAPPENED YOU JERKS!" Lance snapped at them.
"Oh how cute!" Granny said. "Kima he's defending your honor! How quaintly human of you!"
"Didn't you explain to him that dragons and Dragon Halfs don't formally mate until 250?" Nakano asked Kima.
"I did," Kima shrugged. "I think it's a human thing."
"I think I feel worse than I did when I started this trip," Lance moaned.
"Oh did you want to ask me something Lance?" Kima asked.
"Never mind," Lance sighed. "It's not important. Not important at all…"
"HELP US!" A familiar voice shouted.
"Hey that sounds like…" Althea looked out over the ocean. "DAD?"
Sure enough a giant sea turtle swam by with the yacht on its back. "Well there's something you don't see everyday," Pietro remarked as they watched the turtle swim by. The Joes were jumping up and down trying to get the kids' attention crying for help.
"Something tells me the adults are gonna want to go home early," Todd snickered.
"We really should do something," Althea said.
"We will," Pietro grinned as he took out a camera. "Good thing this camera's waterproof!"
