Yes, I know I haven't updated in a while and I'm sorry (cough, bull crap, cough, cough) actually I've been busy with a butt load of homework.

Chapter 14: Separated by a Universe

Another gem had been found and another celebration was being held to honor Kaltaku's achievement.

"Every time we find a gem, the Matoran throw another party," said Shali.

"And what is badwrong with that?" asked Lewa.

"Nothing, it's just that we should be finding more gems instead of stuffing our faces," said the female Toa.

"True but all work and no play makes me a dull Shadow Toa," said Jakanuva.

"Yeah and taking a rest never hurt anybody," said Kaltaku.

"I should have expected that from a couple of procrastinators like you," said Shali as she walked away.

"What's wrong with her?" said Pohatu as he took a bite of some kind of fruit.

"It has something to do with someone from her world," said Gali, "someone named Eric".

"Eric's her boyfriend," said Kaltaku before taking a drink of water.

"What's a boyfriend?" asked Gali.

"It means their dating?" said Kaltaku.

This only got more confused looks from the other Toa.

"What is dating?" asked Onua.

"This could be difficult to explain," said Kaltaku, "Eric is Shali's boyfriend and Shali is Eric's girlfriend.

This only left more confused looks.

"Allow me," said Jakanuva, "You know how Jaller and Hahli behave when they're together."

The other Toa nodded.

"Well Eric and Shali act sort of like that when they're together," said Jakanuva.

"I think I understand," said Gali, "the way she talks about him shows she has great feeling for him"

"I feel sorry for her," said Takanuva.

"I know how she feel's," said Jakanuva, "It's been weeks since I've seen my girlfriend, Kassie. I wonder how she's doing."

"She's probably enjoying the silence," said Kaltaku.

POW!

Kaltaku was now asleep with a fist shaped dent in his head.

"Was that really necessary?" said Gali.

"Yes"

(outskirts of Ga-Koro)

On a large cliff sat Shali looking at the crescent moon.

"Why, why did this happen?" said the once human girl who wastrying to hold back her tears with little success.

"Is it so much to want to go home," yelled the Toa into the night.

"We will help you as much as we can sister," said Gali.

"How much of that did you hear?" said the surprised Toa.

"We heard all of it," said Jakanuva emerging from the shadows, "and we will get home."

"You want to go home, but I thought you loved being a Toa," said Shali in shock.

"Of coarse I do, I love this power and I love this world," said Jakanuva, "but I also love Kassie and I miss our world."

"Thank you, both of you," said Shali.

"No problem," said Jakanuva, "now lets head back before the others eat all the food."

"Okay, and I'm sorry you had to see that, I just miss Eric," said Shali.

"I know how you feel," said Jakanuva.

As they walked back the two former humans looked at the night sky and said to themselves, "I wonder how you're doing."

(in the human world)

A car drove down the street with a young driver at the wheel. He came to a stop light, looked at a picture in his wallet and said to no one, "I will find you Stephanie."

(on the other side of town)

"and in local news the search for three high school students continues …", before the reporter could finish, a girl pressed the remote and turned off the set. She sat down the remote, walked to the window, looked at the moon, and whispered, "I hope you're doing well, Justin."

And that's chapter 14, yesI know it's short,I hope I can get the next chapter up soon but I can't make any guarantees.
