The Mission to the Mystic Moon
By Gina-chan
~Chapter Two~
Sorano gaped at the TV. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. An army of Guymelefs, not unlike the one's they had ridden to Gina's house on, were in Washington D.C.
"What is that strange box? And why are there Guymelefs in it?" Merle said, bounding over in front of the TV.
"It's called a TV," Sorano explained, "It s lets you watch stuff."
"Oh…" Merle said, staring, transfixed at the rampaging Guymelefs. Gina's mom suddenly snapped out of the gaze she had on the screen.
"Gina, why do you have all these people over here? Without permission?" Gina's mom demanded. Her mom's gaze landed on Merle. "And what is that?!" she exclaimed.
Van stepped in between Merle and Gina's mom.
"Sorry to just come into you're home uninvited, ma'am, my name's Van Fanel, and you must be Gina's mother," Van said, thrusting out his hand. Gina's mom was speechless.
"Pleased to meet you, Van," Gina's mom said, shaking Van's hand. "…Ma'am…that's a first…"her mom muttered under her breath.
"This is Merle. She's a cat," Van said, pointing to Merle, who was turned away from the TV screen.
"And my name is Allen Schezar," Allen said, bowing politely.
"Nice to meet you," Gina's mom replied. There was a uncomfortable silence.
"Well…in case no one's noticed, there happens to be Guymelefs attacking one of your cities," Allen pointed out. They all blinked.
"They don't seem to be actually attacking D.C.," Sorano said. "They just seem to be rampaging through it looking for something," she finished.
"Hmm…" Van mumbled, studying the TV screen. "You're right," he finally said, after a long pause.
"Well?! You guys are just gonna stand here while they're doing…whatever to our capital?!" Midori exclaimed.
"Capital? This city is your capital?" Allen asked. Midori nodded quickly.
"Well, the capital of this country, anyway. There are lots of capitals on the Earth," Midori shrugged.
"Okay Allen, I think we should go see what we can do about these invaders," Van said. Allen nodded.
"Um, just one problem," Gina piped up. "How are you going to find Washington D.C.?" Allen scratched the back of his head.
"Heh…she's got a point there, Van," Allen said. Van looked down at his old, brown boots.
"Well, it's not like it's that far away," Gina said.
"Really?" Van asked. Gina stared at him.
"Yes, really. It's only like 30 minutes away from here by car," Gina replied.
"Could you come with us to give directions?" Van asked eagerly. Gina shrugged.
"I guess," she said.
"Great!" Van said enthusiastically. "Let's go!" he said, bounding back towards the front door. Gina and the others followed.
"Wait! Gina! Where are you going?" Gina's mom asked.
"I'll be back!" Gina yelled back as they all went through the door, back outside where the two Guymelefs stood.
"Okay, Merle, Sorano, and Midori, you guys stay here. We only need Gina to give directions," Allen ordered.
"But Van!" Merle protested.
"It's for your own safety, Merle," Van replied. Merle crossed her arms and stood back where Midori and Sorano were watching. Allen and Van hopped into their Guymelefs, and Gina quickly started climbing up Schezarade. A wave of exhaustion suddenly hit Gina, and she rapidly fell to the ground, unconscious.
*Note to those that don't like the way I spell Allen's Guymelef: Sorry. I like to spell it that way. I know it's spelled wrong, but I'm just strange like that. *End note(whatever)
