Key to my Heart
011: Don't Diss The Oath
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
It was the last day at good ol' CGL and Key was going around taking pictures of anyone, she had only taken her camera out a couple of times before. She had almost forgotten she had it. She took random shots of D-Tent and the buildings and the Mess Hall and the food and the TV and the pool table and a hole that she was absolutely sure she had dug.
That night D-Tent was siting around on their cots, talking about what they thought would happen after they left the next day.
"We'll keep in touch," Key, who was sitting between Zero and Magnet, said nodding her head.
"Uh... How?"
"Uh... IM, letters, phone, e-mail... There are tons of ways to communicate!"
"We don't know anybody's..."
Key took out a piece of paper and a pen and scribbled her name, phone number, e-mail, address and SN on it. She handed it to Magnet and wrote on another one. So on until everybody had everybody else's information.
Key looked down at her watch. "Holy freck! It's one AM! We better get to bed! The buses are coming at six!"
The boys nodded and they climbed into their cots for the last time...
¥¥¥
The next morning they were woken up by a bell for the first time in two weeks. They groaned and slowly got up and dressed and everything else. They made sure they had packed everything and exited the tent. Key paused in the door and took a picture of it.
D-Tent headed to the Mess Hall where they had cereal before they were loaded onto the buses. There was a separate bus for each tent. Key smirked as she remembered her trip here. She had had no idea what to expect. The bus was gross, she was handcuffed, the guard smelled funny, it was hot and there were holes everywhere.
"What are you smiling at?" Zero asked.
"Oh.. I was just remembering my trip here... It seems like such a long time ago... When in reality it was only a little over a month..."
"You're kidding!"
"Nope... Thirty-one days," Key said. "It seems like years..."
"Huh..."
"Key?" Magnet queried.
"Yeah?"
"You should sing something for us," he said.
"Yeah!" everyone else nodded in agreement.
Key smiled. "Okay, but remember no requests, I am not a jukebox and no skipping, I am not a CD player."
Everyone grinned and Key thought for a moment to think of a song.
((This is probably the only time I'm going to put the lyrics of what she's singing in Sy))
"Well, I dreamed I saw the knights in armour come,
Saying something about a queen,
There were peasants singing and drummers drumming,
And the archer split the tree,
There was a fanfare blowing to the sun,
That was floating on the breeze,
Look at Mother Nature on the run,
In the 1970s,
Look at Mother Nature on the run,
In the 1970's...
Well I was lying in a burned out basement,
With the full moon in my eyes,
I was hoping for replacement,
When the sun burst through the sky,
There was a band playing in my head,
And I felt like getting high,
I was thinking about what a friend had said,
I was hoping it was a lie,
Thinking about what a friend had said,
I was hoping it was a lie...
Well I dreamed I saw the silver space ships flying,
In the yellow haze of the sun,
There were children crying,
And colours flying,
All around the chosen ones,
All in a dream, all in a dream,
The loading had begun,
Flying Mother Nature's,
Silver seed to a new home in the sun.
Flying Mother Nature's,
Silver seed to a new home..."
"That's a nice song," Squid commented. "What's it called?"
"After the Goldrush by Neil Young."
The rest of the bus ride was spent joking and laughing with Key taking random pictures. When the bus finally pulled up to it's stop there was a feeling of sadness in the air, mixed with the excitement of seeing long lost families again.
D-Tent climbed off of the bus and huddled into a group off to the side.
"We need an oath," X-Ray said. "So that we stay in touch and never do anything against what D-Tent stands for."
"Diligence?"
"No Key... Truth and honour and loyalty."
"Even better."
"So everyone put your hands in and repeat after me," X-Ray said.
Everyone put their hands in the middle of the circle.
"We, the members of D-Tent, do solemnly swear to keep in touch and never do anything against what we stand for..."
"Well that was creative..."
"Hey man, don't diss the oath, it is sacred," Squid said.
"Yeah! Aw... I wish I had a picture," Key groaned.
"Don't worry Koyomi, I have one," a female voice from behind the group said.
Key turned around. "Aunt Rena! Hi!"
"Hello Yomi, ready to go?"
"Soon... Uh... One second?"
"Sure, I'll be over there."
Key turned back to the D-Tent guys. She hugged each one of them (Magnet and Squid the longest) and then turned to Zero. She hugged him and kissed him. She picked up her bag and hugged him again. She waved as she walked over to where her aunt stood.
"This is so the end of an era..." X-Ray said as more parents cae to collect their kids.
¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥THE END¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥¥
Sy: There. The end. I thought it would be appropriate for X-Ray to say that last line. Seemed kinda fitting.
Squid: It's over!
Key: Yes! (dances in circles)
Sy: Remember bonus chapter tomorrow! (waves) Hope you enjoyed it!
