Chapter 4
Jam Pony 6:00P.m.
"Hey you guys, this is Lisa, I don't think that you guys got introduced this morning." Alec announced as he walks into a crowded Jam Pony. Lisa looks around, and moves a little closer to Alec then she would have liked to be. "Hey man, its alright these guys are my friends. There good people." Alec says putting his arm around a frightened Lisa. "Ill take your word for it." Lisa says as she looks into the crowd to try and spot Max. While scanning for Max, she notices that all of Alecs friends are staring at her, and her face turns an even redder shade of red, if possible. "Hey, man, its ok, I and I be keeping to myself if that's what you be afraid of, remember its all good. All the time. I be called Herbal Thought, but you can call me Herbal." Says an unknown man that seems to be Rastafarian to Lisas left. "umm.. thanks, Ill be sure to remember that. Hi, Im Lisa." Lisa says not sure of why or even how she got the confidence to talk to this unknown stranger. "See, I knew you could do it, there really good people, give them a chance, even you'll love them. Im serious, you NEED to lighten up." Alec say to her, almost as to sooth her. "You can trust me" Alec whispers into her ear. "I know I can trust YOU, its all them that I don't trust." Lisa says unsure of why everyone is still staring at her. "Ya, well you introduced yourself to Herbal, that's a start." Alec says to try and coacher her to meet new people. "ya but he seems nice, and hes one of your friends, and you should have good sense in who to hang around with and whatnot." Lisa says going back to almost her normal shade of pale white, as everyone stops noticeably staring at her. "Alec, do you think that we could leave soon, its really crowded in here, and Im really tiered." Lisa says as she yawns into Alecs shoulder. "Ya, sure, anything you want, were do you want to go?." Alec asks innocently. "I dunno, i should go find a place to stay" Lisa says while looking up and starts towards the door. "HEY! you can stay with us!" Lisa hears from behind her. She turns to see the mystery inviter, and notices Max and Cindy riding towards them on their bikes. "Are you sure!?" Lisa asks, in disbelief in this nice offer from someone she barely even knows. "Ya, after all, you ARE family!, your staying with us, and there's no way to get out of it." Lisa reluctantly accepts the offer, and all four of the off shift messengers ride their bikes down the road together. "Max, you seem in a good mood tonight, what's up?" "I dunno, i got back a small part of my life today. I mean there's three of us together now, so at least we know that us three are safe from that place, and we can stay together, and fight together. Were three strong, and I plan it to be like that for a long time." Max responds, then does a u turn, and returns the group by taking a dirt jump with her bike. "So you wanna see were we live, and im sure that by now, you'll wanna get out of that awful outfit." "Ya, that would be great, I hate these things." Lisa looks down at her uniform that brings back so much pain, then looks at her two newly acquired friends, and smiles. "Hey sugaaa, you can borrow some of mine, or Maxs clothes until you get some time to do some shopping. By the way Im Original Cindy, you'll be bunking with me and Max here for a while, hope you like the place." OC says while fixing her backpack on her right shoulder, and avoiding a divot in the road. "Well, this is it, what we little people like to call "home" you'll like it, its small but quaint." Max announces to the group, but only really meant it for Lisa. "Hey Alec you coming up?" Max asks looking at Alec with wonder at whether or not he will take the invite. "Ya sure, I don't have anywhere better to be. Naw, it'd be my pleasure." At that note all four of the messengers get off there bikes and begin to make there way up the 18 staircases with there bikes in hand. "How come you two are in such good moods today sugaa?" OC asks while the four make there way to the landing on the top of the 18th floor. "I dunno, I guesses its cause like I said I have another part of my family to be close to and all." Max answers with a smile on her face. "I guesses its cause I have someone who trusts me for no good reason, and I get to take care of them in bad situations.." Alec ponders aloud "such as crowds."Alec says more to Lisa then to OC. "Ok, this is it, it isn't much, but its home, so that's good enough for me." Max announced as she opens the door. "WOW, this place is great, its small and cosy, but still big enough for three people. I love it." Lisa exclaims as she steps past the threshold. "Im glad you like it, it's the best we can do in this little old broken city." Max says while yawing into her fist. "Hey you guys wanna head to crash or something, show Lisa a little of the good parts of living in a broken city?" Alec asks while storing his bike on the wall closest to the door. "Ya that sounds good, that is, if Lisas cool with it." Max says with a side glance at Lisa. "Ya sure sounds fun" Lisa says with a hint of sarcasm in her voice. "Naw guys im just buggin, it sounds fine, id like to check it out." Lisa announced with joined hug attack from Max and OC. "But you gotta lend me some clothes. Im NOT going out in this ugly ass uniform anymore then I have to!" At that note the three girls headed to Maxes bedroom to change. After a few moments of muffled giggles, and barley understandable phrases such as "no way in hell im going out in that" and "when hell freezes over". After that, the three girls enter the living room, Max, and OC standing in front of Lisa, almost as a curtain to unveil a prize.
