Ok, I know its been a while since the next chapter to this story has been up. Well, since Ran put up his next chapter, I decided to put mine up as well.

Don't worry, Caylin will hopefully not make this a boring chapter. Also! In this chapter, Leia and Randall have there own little....well...its not really romantic.....just say its a scene that just involves her and him, tell me what ya think. Please review. Oh! And if you all want to know, I got a sequel for this story too incase I haven't told ya yet!
Chapter 7 The Trip
"Ok I think I've got a plan" Sean said, loud enough for everyone to hear. Sean and Randall were on Joy's bed, Leia on a chair near them and Caylin leaning near a computer.
"Ok....I'll get us some money so we can get to Maryland and we can get to New Jersey from there" Sean said. "Uh....Sean, remember I can't blend yet...." Randall said. "And I'm sure humans aren't accustom to seeing a lizard with eight limbs" Leia pointed out,
"Yeah well.....maybe they won't notice" Caylin butted in, making everyone look at him. ".....What?" Caylin asked, turning to the computer.
"Anyhow....I have an old friend in New Jersey who will help us out" Sean informed. "Know I don't know how the heck you guy's are gonna hide yourselves". "Please...your talking to the great stealth monster here" Randall put in. "True...that's Randall...how about you guy's?" Sean asked, making him and Randall lean and place their right hands . "Well...I suppose we could look like humans" Leia thought, making Randall's fronds perk up.
"Oh sure, let me pull a human out of a hat and jump in" Caylin said, looking for a hat. "Actually....not a bad idea..." Randall said, studying Leia, then Caylin. "But I don't see a hat" Caylin said, looking at him. "Yeah....a wig for Leia....some rain coats...hats...yeah...it could work" Randall said. "Yeah....I'll see if I can find some cheat things and maybe we can make this work" Sean said, heading to the door. "Oh...Caylin don't go on the computer". "Who and the what now?" Caylin said, searching the computer for anything interesting. "Ok....I'll be back in a couple minutes" Sean said, heading out and closing the door.
"Well...are you two sure about this?" Randall asked Leia, but so Caylin could hear. "Randall...." Leia began, coming over and sitting by him, "We're your friends....there is no way we're gonna desert you now". "Yeah besides, it could be fun going a trip like this with my best....ooh! Solitaire! Game skill here I come!" Caylin said, turning his attention back to the computer, his gaming getting the better of him.
"Yeah...but I just don't want to see you guy's get....you know" Randall said with concern, "You have no idea what I've been through in this world". "Randall, don't worry about me....now....Caylin.....he's another story" Leia said.
(Ruff!)
Randall and Leia look down at the floor to see Midnight come out from under the bed, then turn around and head back in.
"....I have that under control too" Leia said with a smile. Randall took this time to look at Leia for a moment. In a way....she reminded him of Joy that time when he was pardoned.
"Uh...Randall...why are you looking at me like that?" Leia's voice came. Randall shook his head to get the thought out. "N-nothing at all....sorry" He said, looking back at Caylin. "Its ok Randall" Leia said, smiling at him, seeing him smile too.
"Would you like to deal again?.....deal what?" Caylin asked the computer when he won the game. "Well then....I'm glad you guys are with me" Randall said with one of his thankful grins.
"Well Randall, maybe in one life time we were with ya through those years" Leia said with a smile. "Well....you guy's are with me now" Randall smiled, looking between them. Randall noticed Leia's left hand near his bottom right. Taking in a small gulp, he slowly picked his hand up and placed it on Leia's.
"Huh?" Leia said, looking down seeing Randall's hand on hers. "Oh....Sorry" Randall said, moving his hand away. "Its ok Randall....you can" Leia said, taking his hand, making Randall smile.
Unfortunately, Caylin looked over. "Uh..." Caylin began making a fake cough, but it didn't affect them.
(Errrk!)
Randall and Leia released their hands as Sean stepped through the door with wigs, coats, glasses, and hats in his hands. "How's you get all that?" Randall asked as Sean placed everything on a chair. "Credit card....I think I did it right...." Sean said.
*
"Hmm...what do you think?" Sean asked Randall, both of them standing beside each other with a hand under their heads. "Hmm..." Randall mumbled. They were both looking at Caylin and Leia. Caylin had on a trench coat fitting his whole body. His tail could also fit in the back, uncomfortably, but Caylin didn't mind. He also had on some glasses and had a collar on the trench coat to block the rest of his gecko appearance from vision. His hands also were covered by the long sleeves. Leia had on the same but had a hat to cover her fronds.
"I said it once and I'll say it again...I don't like trench coats....I can't even find my tail anymore" Caylin said, searching the coat. "Grow up Caylin" Leia said, lowering her son glasses. "I'll start tomorrow" Caylin said still looking.
"You think we can pull this off Sean?" Randall asked. "Just give me a moment..." Sean said, heading to the nearby phone. He dialed in a number than a voice came through. "Sir, the number gave is out of Colorado state, please verify the number" a voice said. "Just send the call to Maryland, number (301) 473-8252, zip code 21702" Sean said. "......Call reached, other line has accepted charges". "Good..." Sean said.
".....Hello?" A women on the other line answered. "Uh....mom....its me Sean" Sean said, a little hesitated, as Randall was too. "Oh Sean! I haven't heard from you! You alright!?" She asked concerned. "Yes mom, I'm fine....listen...you think you can get me a couple tickets to Maryland....I'm in Colorado" Sean said. "Colorado? Oh, visiting your friend Joy?" Sean's mom asked. Sean turned to the Randall, Leia, and Caylin. "Well actually a couple friends" Sean said with a smile. "Well...ok, I'll send you some money for a flight" She said, "But why the sudden call?". Sean hesitated again, Randall as well. "Mom...I'll tell you when I get back home ok..." Sean said. Sean hung the phone up and looked back.
"You called your mom?" Randall said. "Yes...were on a plane for Maryland and taking the bus to New Jersey" Sean said, placing his hands in his pockets. "Well...its ok I guess" Leia said. "As long as no one sees us" Caylin said, thinking about it and widening his eyes.
"Oh jeez......hate flying..." Randall said. "So do I, but we gotta" Sean said. Randall agreed. "Well, as long as they have those little chewy things" Caylin said. "Peanuts?" Sean asked, picking up his coat. "Well, what ever you guy's have coming out of the sea...." Caylin said with a grin. "Ok, lets go! I can't wait to see what's out here!" Leia said with a smile and small jump. "I hope I won't be seen" Randall said again, taking in a deep breath. "Don't worry...its near the morning....hardly any humans are up.....and when on the plane it will be morning, and when we get to Maryland it will be late morning" Sean said, trying to loosen Randall's fear. "Well....ok" Randall replied with and unsure glance. With that, they headed out.
*
The four stood outside Joy's home. Randall on all eight down low enough none could see him. It was nearing morning now....Caylin had Midnight on a leash, who was now looking around.
"Ok...as long as we are natural I think we'll do fine" Sean said, taking a peek around. "What? You want us to eat grass?" Caylin joked, but Leia nudged him in the arm. "Not that natural Cay" Randall's voice came. "Rand? Where are you?" Caylin asked, not seeing one scale of him. "Hehe....right....behind you!". Caylin jumped out of his scales when he felt Randall's cold three fingered hand on his shoulder. He backed away to see Randall, half his face hidden in darkness.
"Good one Randall" Leia giggled. "Ok....that's my annual shock treatment" Caylin said, shaking his hands not wanting another surprise. "Just a joke Cay" Randall chuckled. "But lets get this show on the road" Randall said, getting onto all 8 and heading up the sidewalk, trailing his darkness as everyone followed.
"What show? Is there a concert in town?" Caylin joked. But Leia stuck and extra hat she had into his mouth. "Phew!" Caylin mumbled from the hat, getting it out. "Good one Caylin" Leia said as he got the hat out. "Hats...my sworn enemy" Caylin said, glaring at it, making everyone chuckle at it.
"Well...as soon as we find Joy, we'll get back to Monstropolis" Randall said, trailing away from the lights to keep hidden. "I don't want to go through anything else". "Hey, don't worry pal, you have three of us just in case" Sean said, tapping his side which had a scabbard....
*
After a couple miles trying to find the Airport, they finally did find one.
"Colorado Springs Municipal Airport" Sean said looking at the gray and glass colored building, and air field on the opposite side.
"Ow, ow, ow" came Randall, who stopped at Sean's side. Looking to see no one around, he got up and rubbed his hands and feet. Caylin came up, his split tongue sticking out, so was Midnights. Midnights leash was now in Leia's hand, who then came up.
"I'm not walking on anymore concrete...." Randall said with a tired voice, as he was rubbing his feet. " Don't worry Randall....you can rest on the plane...." Sean said. "I'll be taking out their drinks if you don't mind...." Caylin said, slipping his tongue back in his mouth.
"Um...Sean...how are we suppose to....you know.." Leia asked. "Oh yes....well.....they have overhead storage containers above each seat....Randall....you don't mind being in one above our seats do you?" Sean asked, looking down at him still rubbing his limbs. "No....as long as I'm not seen" was Randall's response. "Ok...lets go" Randall said, heading off with Caylin and Leia.
*
"Yes sir....the money was transferred and accounted for, there are seats and tickets saved for you...here you go" the lady at the desk from information who was outside the building said, handing Sean three tickets to Washington D.C. "Hmm....are you a doctor?" the lady asked, looking at Caylin. "No...Sean said. "Well...that guy needs one...I think is face is a little green" she said.
"Hey! Hmm...wait....I am...." Caylin said, switching to a whisper. Leia pushed him inside the door as Sean followed. He stopped and turned to see Randall in a nearby bush. He slowly got down and went as fast as he could.
"Huh?". The lady turned to see a blue tail slip into the closing door. "?..........Na".
*
The four finally got a flight. Sean had figured how to get Randall on board as well....but in a way neither of them liked,
"Sean....please tell me you'll let me out!" Randall whispered a shout. He was now in a large cage that could fit him, which Sean got from a couple available cages, heading to the plane.
"Don't worry Ran...I'll let you out when we get on the plane" Sean said, looking into the cage. Randall's body was placed into a U shape, his tail right in front of his face. He seemed to just be at the back of the cage rather than being in the whole cage. For some reason he seemed Closter phobic or something.
"I just don't like cages!" Randall said. "Sssh...you don't want to be in a cage for years do you?" Sean said, making Randall calm down and begin breathing slowly.
"Wow!" Caylin said, looking at the huge aircraft. "Now that's a monster" Caylin said. "I have to admit I haven't seen much of a plane in Monstropolis" Leia said. "W-who knows....m...maybe I.....c...could make one..." came Randall's voice. "Oh that's sweat Randall" Leia said.
The three began up the stairs. "Its ok Ran...you'll be out soon" Sean said, not wanting him to be in the cage neither.
*
They finally got on. Caylin went in first, amazed as every bit as Leia was by the machine. Taking a look at their seats, Leia took a single seat near the window, with Sean and Caylin taking the ones in front of her. Sean sat by the window with Caylin beside him.
"You thinking Midnight will be ok in this?" Caylin asked, holding the cage he had retrieved from the cargo area, which had Midnight in it. The fluppy was still excited enough to not notice.
"Uh...Sean?" Came Randall's voice. "Oh....sorry Ran...." Sean said, getting up and stopping beside Caylin. He popped open the long compartment above the seats and looked around to see if everyone else came on yet. He placed the cage partially inside and opened it. Randall crawled out and saw there were pillows, blankets, water boxes, and other things shoved around.
"You just stay here....you can come out when everyone's asleep" Sean said, taking the cage out. Randall nodded and got onto his back, placing a pillow to the side of his face. Sean closed the compartment and went back over beside Caylin, setting the cage down, as the passengers came in. Leia was looking at the window, thinking and waiting, seeing not many passengers coming on board on this section. Caylin was searching his trench coat.
"?....Let me guess Cay, you're tying to find your tail....its in the back" Sean said, looking back out side at the various planes. He then looked back to see Caylin with a pick in his hand, one that you use to pick your teeth from eating.
"What the?" Sean asked. "You'll see..." Caylin said with a smile. Sean was about to say something else, but noticed an airport attendant come up and pass out peanuts. She came near Caylin, passing him, looking the other way. In a quick motion, Caylin stabbed at one of the bags and pulled it into his trench coat and started whistling an innocent tune as she passed back and went out.
"Caylin..."Sean said, looking at him pulling the bag out. "What? Its free..." Caylin said. ".......True" Sean said with a small gesture. At that, the plane judged forward then back a bit, shaking the plane's inside.
"Earthquake!" Caylin yelled. "Cay...its not a..." Sean began. "I bet Elaphants are causing this! I know exactly what to do! Jumanji!" Caylin yelled. The shaking then stopped. "...See" Caylin said. The plane then roared, which actually was its engine. ".....Nothing else except open sesame I've got" Caylin joked.
The plane began moving, allowing them all to see every thing else that was once out of view. Then they were up in the air.....
*
As they were now high in the sky, darkness overtook the plane from the dark clouds that would soon be pouring rain onto Colorado. There were 5 other passengers. One old married couple, a lawyer, a construction worker, and a young lady. Everyone except Leia was asleep. She was wondering something. She picked up her head and looked around, seeing no one near her. Biting her lip, she raised her right hand and tapped on the bottom of the compartment.
"Randall....you awake?" she whispered. She could hear some movement, then his voice. "No...I'm still awake.....can't get to sleep..." Randall's voice came at a whisper. "Then, why don't you come down? Everyone's asleep" Leia whispered. ".....Well....ok..." Randall said. The compartment slowly came open with Randall's tail showing. Then Randall slithered out and sat in the chair beside Leia. He rested his back against the seat. He noticed she had her glasses and hat off.
"Ohh...thanks...I didn't want to get out and get caught..." Randall said. "Yeah.....you alright? You were hyperventilating in that cage or something" Leia said in concern. "Oh that..." Randall said, rubbing his neck. "I was...just reminded of being in a cage during....banishment" Randall said. "Oh..." Leia whispered. Randall looked down at his tail, remembering an example.
"Near the first couple days....I was in.....cage...and sold" Randall said, placing his hands together. "Oh.....Why didn't you get out?" Leia asked. "No....my back was broken at the time......I was sold like an object in a house" Randall said, taking in a breath. "Yeah...and later...I was with a child that I scared.....she....ehh....beat my tail with a bat till it was red on its own" Randall said, looking back down. "Oh Randall..." Leia said, looking at the side of his face. "Lialin was her name.....but....she was just one of the many...." Randall said, sniffling, his hands at his sides. Leia placed her left hand on his right shoulder, comforting him. She turned to the window, seeing the clouds pass by, revealing the arrival of the stars.
"Randall.......sometimes maybe this placed at so bad....up here....they still have the same stars....see" Leia said. Taking notice, Randall looked out the window.
"Oh yeah....those.....I've seen them every night....yeah....they're beautiful aren't they.." Randall said with a hushed voice. "....Hmph...you know...since I thought I would be in this place forever....I did something....its idiotic but....I picked out one of those for my own" Randall said pointing to one. "Oh Randall....its sweat I think..." Leia said. "Well...there it is...." Randall said, pointing to a bright star, it seemed to be the North Star. "...But Randall....I thought humans already named it" Leia said. "Well still....a human may have, but not a monster...besides....I always figured it would lead me back home...you know...something to look at to encourage me to go on..." Randall said with his own grin.
"....You know...maybe I'll do that too..." Leia said. "Sure...there's plenty of room up there..." Randall replied. "Oh....ok.....I'll pick that one..." Leia said. She pointed to a star right next to the North one.
"Uh....but why that one?" Randall asked. "Because its right next to yours" Leia said, turning to him with a smile. He could see the stars reflecting onto her eyes, and her to him too....
"Gee...thanks Leia" Randall said, laughing to himself a bit. "What's so funny?" Leia asked. "Oh well...its just I never met a monster like you..." Randall said. "Hmph...like I said, your the first female monster that ever is even near me" Randall said, running a hand through his fronds with a sigh. "How so?" Leia asked, moving closer to him.
"I don't know....I just wasn't liked in the past....no girl would go out with me....even be near me" Randall began. "I'm not sure if it was, I was a nice intelligent guy.....maybe its just how I was....maybe because I'm a reptile...or just life in general people though....I mean....I didn't have anyone....until later when I got Randolph..." Randall trailed off.
".....Oh Randall....they were....probably just jealous....your the smartest and sweetest monster I've ever met.....even that tough guy I saw in you years ago...either way your a nice monster Randall, I like you just how you are" Leia said, placing her hand on his bottom right.
"....Leia" Randall said, looking back down. "Oh...sorry" Leia said, beginning to move her hand away. "No...its not that...its just I mean...if you like me...maybe...ehh" Randall gritted his teeth, unsure of what to say. "Oh Randall...it doesn't matter if you had a bad past....you may be a tough guy on the outside....but inside you have a good heart....you just hide it" Leia said, trying to cheer him up that she knows.
"Well....at least you all respect my good side......thanks Leia" Randall said, smiling. "Glad I could help....I like talking to you" Leia said, placing the side of her head on his right shoulder, closing her eyes. "Eh...." Randall said. For a moment, his skin color changed red. After looking back, he slowly changed to blue, seeming calmer now. Then he changed back and opened his mouth.
"....Leia....we should be getting there soon...maybe you should put your hat back on..." Randall said, moving a bit.
"Oh yeah...I guess your right.....I'll see you latter then" Leia said, taking her head away from Randall's shoulder and placing her hat on.
"Yeah sure....." Randall said with a grin. "Ok Randall" Leia said, getting her glasses on. "Go on...you need sleep too". With a shrug, Randall opened the compartment. "Uh...Leia" Randall said. "Yes?" Leia replied, getting in a position to sleep. "...Eh...nothing...just here" Randall said, getting out a pillow and placing on the seat, and then climbing back up into the compartment and closing it with his tail.
"......( Randall....he's a nice guy....maybe he could use someone to look after him, almost like Sean...)" Leia thought. She then thought of something else and placed a smile on her face. She planted her head into the pillow Randall gave her.
Randall was on his back, a pillow on the back of his head, with a blanket going from the bottom of his top hands down to the near end of his tail. Thinking, he placed his top hands behind his head.
"(Reminds me of that orphanage home.....)" Randall thought. "(Leia seems to like me too....but maybe I should tell her everything I've gone through....maybe she might change her mind....)" Randall thought. He shrugged, unsure of himself.
"(Ok, ok....still...all she has is her mother...no father I think....but...maybe she needs someone too...)" Randall thought again. He turned on his side, using his top hands to pull the covers up to his neck. "(Hard life....not now....maybe...)" Randall trailed in his mind, placing his top hands on the sides of his head, gritting his teeth.
"(Too many thoughts! Ehh...blank my mind...that's it...)" Randall thought. He stirred a bit as if he couldn't even control something.....then he stopped. "(What's wrong with me!?....Oh....maybe its....maybe its...)" He turned to his side and closed his eyes to think....then he smiled and drifted off to sleep.....
*
"........Eh...huh....oh..." Sean said with a yawn. He rubbed his eyes and opened them, spreading his arms and looking out the side window. It was midday. "Oh..." He said, turning to Caylin, but he wasn't there. He sighed and looked back to see Leia asleep soundly. Thinking, Sean tapped the bottom of the compartment.....nothing.
"(Ran must be asleep too.....weren't they talking in their sleep?)" Sean thought, but then saw Leia stir a bit. He looked down to see Leia get up in her chair, not showing she was in a deep sleep.
"Oh Sean...you up?" Leia asked with a drowsy voice. "Yeah....Randall's asleep though.....did you see Caylin at all?" Sean asked. Before she could tell they looked back to hear a commotion. The curtains to the next section of the plane opened. Caylin was seen backing up, in front of him was an attendant.
"I'm sorry sir, we need to have all animals in the cargo area" She told him. "What? Would you like to be in a cage back there?" Caylin asked, coming up near Leia and Sean, who spotted Midnight in the cage in Caylin's hands. "...As long as he doesn't cause trouble....we're nearing the airport soon..." She said. "Ditto..." Caylin said, slowly sitting down with the attendant going off.
"Caylin....do you realize what would happen if we were caught?" Sean said, eased from the small event.
"Uh..." Caylin began, setting Midnights cage down. "You don't wanna know....." Sean said. "Sean...calm down...see...there's the other airport I think...." Leia said. They all peer through the window to see the airport on the ground.
"Oh good...." Sean said with a relaxed sigh. "Say Sean.....I've heard in school you guys have the White House with the President there right?" Leia asked. "Yeah..." Sean said. "I wonder if I can get in....use that old violin joke of mine on the guard....." Caylin said with a chuckle.
"Umph!". They look up at the above compartment. "...Rands up" Caylin said. "Oh shoot..." Sean said. "What?" Leia asked. "When we get to New York it will be day time....and probably when we get to that bus...." Sean said. "I don't want to keep Ran in a cage..." Sean said, shuffling his hands. "What are we suppose to do?!" Leia said with alarm. "Yeah....I'm not gonna be a dead gecko here....I'd rather be alive" Caylin said, perishing the thought.
"Ok.....I think I know what to do....Its " Sean said, rubbing his chin. "Hey! how about your place?" Caylin thought. "...Maybe a hotel?" Sean said, ignoring him, but then giving a glance.
"Attention....Washington D.C. Dulles International Airport is in sight...we will be landing shortly....thank you for flying Colorado Springs, we hope you enjoyed the trip" came a voice from a speaker near the cockpit. A little after....the plane touched down on the surface and landed with a.....
(Thump!)
"Ow..." Caylin mumbled, rubbing his head.
The plane slowed as it went down its landing stripe. It slowed ands turned to lock into the port. The port itself was to simply let the passengers get off the plane and into the building.
Sean waited until the others left to open the compartment. Randall was up, rubbing his fronds.
"Sheeesh...do they have to make this metal!?" He said, frustrated and drowsy. "Ok Ran....only one more trip in the cage..." Sean said. "Please tell me as long as I am going to be in that thing....don't toss me" Randall said, looking at it.
"Listen...don't worry....were going to find someplace to stay in Frederick until dark and that's when I can get you out....can you be in till then ok?" Sean said, knowing how Randall felt in a cage.
"Ok...but like I said, don't judge it around...." Randall said, climbing in as Sean shut it. "You'll be ok..." Sean said, closing the compartment.
"Honestly I think he's scared of it..." Leia questioned.
"Rand scared!? Yeah right!" Caylin said, laughing.
"Quit it! Lets get out out here!" came Randall's voice. With that, they all got out.
*
The group walked off the plane and into the building. They passed several humans, making all three hesitated, especially Randall.
"Oh jeez...I'm gonna lose my cool if we don't find and exit." Caylin said, accidentally bumping into a man. "Sorry" he said, moving away before a comment was made.
"Its ok Cay...see" Sean edged toward a wall of glass doors that led outside.
"You ok in there Randall?" Leia whispered. He didn't answer, but she could hear him breathing heavily, through his whole mouth and not just his tongue.
"Careful Sean...he might start hyperventilating..." Leia said, backing up. "Don't worry...We'll be out...oh..." Sean began. Ahead near the door was two police officers. "Oh shoot...." Sean whispered.
"Hey...whose the men in blue?" Caylin said, pointing with his hand. But then noticed their firearms.
"Ok...I'm going home..." Caylin said, slowing his walking. "No, we'll look suspicious...act normal" Sean said as they headed near.
As they came close, one of the officers opened the door while the other one fixed his belt. "Thank you officer" Sean said, passing with Leia. Caylin slowed and looked at the officer. "Maybe you guy's should switch to red" Caylin offered. "Cay!". Caylin quickly headed out with one of the officers looking at him with a smile.
*
"Cay...." Sean said as they walked through the parking lot. "What its true.....if they're called M.I.B for, you don't know if its blue or black..." Caylin joked, thinking of what he would look like in an officer uniform.
"C-Cay...p-please...don't joke around...with those k-kind of humans..." Came Randall's stuttering voice. "Hold on Ran....lets get someplace and figure out where to go" Sean said, leading them off.
*
Meanwhile.....back at Scare Floor F's hall....
"Why is he thinking of going after a human!?' Ray shouted as he, Naomi, and Randolph walked down the hall to the Scare Floor. "I'm sorry dad....I couldn't stop him...he just told me to tell you guy's he was going" Randolph said, placing his hands in his coat's pockets.
"Its not your fault son.....why didn't Randall tell us face to face!?" Naomi said as they entered the Scare Floor. "Its dangerous there! I'm going in and dragging his tail back here!" Rayford said, heading up to the door and grasping the knob with his top right hand.
"Dad....Randall knew it was dangerous...but he didn't care....he would do anything for anyone who helped him.....us too...." Randolph said, his voice serious.
"......Randolph....I don't want to be a father to only one son...." Rayford said, turning to Randolph.
"Ray....I'm....sure Randall will come back....he wouldn't lie...he said he would...." Naomi said, who had Randall's coat and scarf in her arms.
"Dad.....we won't stop him.....but we should help him" Randolph said. "....Fine...besides....maybe....maybe they didn't even leave yet..." Rayford said, turning the knob and opening the door. "Huh?". It just showed the scare floor.
"What!?" Rayford shouted. "!!! The power's down here! I heard it on the news...we may not have enough power to activate the door!" Randolph said. "What!?" Ray said again, opening and closing the door. "Well...the power is stabilizing...we can't call in or power up a door with the power we have" Randolph said, hitting his bottom hands on the table.
"What!? Randall's trapped there!" Naomi said, bringing Randall's clothes closer. "No! Listen...I think we can do this!...Ok.....Randolph..." Ray began. "Yeah dad?!" Randolph said. "Its time we finally see you scare along with me..." Ray said, grinning. "!.....Ok!" Randolph said, nodding. "Ok...good...bit we need to get into the vault to get the doors...." Ray said. Randolph a little unsure of getting in but....
"Ok...mom...can you tell Sullivan to try and convert power to the vault? We need to stabilize the power to make and scare kids doors who don't require much energy...." Randolph asked. "Of course!" Naomi said, heading out as Randolph and Ray headed to the door vault.....
*
"Oh....I'm glad I can breath again..." Randall said, stretching. They were now in an alley way between some houses. Randall was on his four feet, stretching ever part of his body. Caylin was sitting on a box, his glasses off, Leia had her glasses off, but not her hat.
"Randall....you ok?" Leia asked. "Yeah.....now..." Randall said, rubbing his back, forgetting it could still hurt. He went over and said by Leia.
"But I'm telling you...I'm not going to be dragged around in that...that thing...all the way in the human world..." Randall said. "Don't worry about that..." Sean said, looking at the White House in the distance.
"We have to be careful around here...the president is not normal in having Monsters in the city" Sean said, crossing his arms. "You act like you know him. Caylin said turning with a smile, meeting Sean with a grin similar to Randall's.
"....Anyhow..." Sean said, sitting over beside Caylin. "Thanks to luck, we can get to New York by bus" Sean said. "What?" Randall asked. "Yep...you see...its a bus trip to New York....it comes to Ames near my home town" Sean said, looking back at the entrance. "Alright! A free trip!" Caylin said. "Actually its about near $100" Sean said. ".....There's always a catch" Caylin said, brushing back his hair. "Just worry about it later" Sean said. "Ran...". "Ok...but this is the last time..." Randall said, getting in.
*
Meanwhile...
"Ehh....I think I can get out of this thing!" Joy said trying to get out of the chair. Her and Boo was still stuck in the same room, trying to get out. They had several discussions about Randall, Randolph, and a couple other small details.
".....Oh! Somebody's coming!" Boo said, making both of them stop. The sound of clanging boots echoed itself into the room......Then the door opened. Stepping in was the Man who was with Loch Ness and the girl that he had talked to in the mansion type room....
The door closed and the girl stood by it. The man then walked around the perimeter of the room.
"...Well, well, well...." He said, not looking at either at them. "Who are you?" Boo spoke up, making the man stop.
"My real name is of no importance...just call me Wraith if you want a name...however...what you two know....is important..." Wraith said, looking a both of them as if he had Randall's eyes.
"Incase you didn't know, kidnapping is against the law!" Joy said in, making Wraith turn to her.
"My dear girl...if I'm not mistaken....both of you have been in the mist of...somewhere other than around humans..." Wraith said, slyness in his voice, making both hesitated a bit. "But lets cut to the chase..." Wraith said, moving over to Boo. He places his hands on the arm rests of the chair.
"Tell me....you both have a dear friend by the....name....Randall Boggs?" He began, and Joy gasped, but noticed Boo scared of Wraith.
"Tell me...where might I find him?" Wraith asked. "We're never telling you! We won't let you hurt him!" Joy yelled.
Wraith turned his eyes to the left, then turned around completely. "My dears....you don't understand...I'm not going to hurt him....I just need him to get my prize" Wraith said, showing his left gloved hand clutch into a fist.
"We're still not telling you!" Joy shouted. "Strange...the two care about this creature" Wraith mumbled loudly. "He's not a creature!" Joy yelled. "My dear child....he will get me what I want, and our going to tell me..." Wraith said, coming close.
"What are you going to do?" Joy said as a threat. "...You have no idea who your messing with..." Wraith said.
"You just wait! When Sean and Randall find out, you're gonna get what you disserve!" Joy stated. "Hmph...let me show you something..." Wraith said, backing up and started to laugh. He took out something and showed it in his left hand. It was a diamond cube about the size of a fist. He sat it down in the middle of the floor and backed off into the darkness, his left side showing. Joy and Boo starred clueless at the cube. Then they looked back at the man. He seemed to stare at the cube. He slowly lifted his hand and spread his fingers. Boo then looked back at the cube. "What?" She said.
The cube was still. But....it nudged slowly. Then....it shifted to the left than right.....then..."How can he!?" Joy said, looking back at Wraith. The cube slowly rose to the same height as Wraiths extended arm. Boo looked back at his emerald eyes. Fear stuck into her, remembering Randall's eyes, she felt a tinge in her head and closed her eyes. Joy starred at the cube in the air.
"Your swamp lizard and knight in shinning armor stand no chance against me!"
The cube spun around the room, at control of Wraith. He raised his hand and the light knocked out.....
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
What power does Wraith have?! Will Sean and Randall be able to stop him?! Will Wraith get Randall and later on get Slade!? What plans does he have!? Well.....those questions wont be answered yet....Oh, for some of those folks who like the old time classic comedians such as Jack Benny, then I think you might know what violin joke Caylin was thinking of on the plane. The classics never die....Anyhow! I'm working on this now, so please review!
