Chapter 4- The Call

Beastfire: Hey, here's chapter 4! Enjoy!

Ivy was showing Aria around the Super Robot. Aria asked all sorts of questions, having never encountered a large percentage of what was there. The meerkat was able to explain it all, as her boyfriend's mother looked upon everything in fascination. The mongoose noticed a door.

"What's behind this one?" she asked.

"Oh, that?" said Ivy. "That's Gibson's lab."

She opened the door and they went in. Aria looked at all of the equipment in wonder, while Ivy was looking around for some of her beer. She found some vodka, but that was good enough for her. Just as she had set the boys on a table so she could open it, she heard the shattering of glass and whirrled around. Aria looked rather embarrassed.

"Sorry..." she whispered.

Ivy just shrugged. "It's okay. I break Gibson's stuff all the time."

She telekinetically cleaned the mess, so neither she nor anyone else would step on it. Aria continued to inspect everything in the lab. She picked up a beaker and looked at it curiously. As she had it in her hands, a loud noise came from the main room, and she dropped it, startled. It was the alarm. Ivy got rid of that mess and she, Aria, and the kids headed out there.

"What is that sound?" asked Aria, covering her ears.

Otto shut it off and Aria uncovered her ears.

"That's the alarm that tells us there's trouble," said Frus.

Aria seemed to understand as they all checked to see who it was from.

"I think it's coming from that little red dot," said Otto.

Ivy and Frus rolled their eyes.

"Hey, where it's located on this map," said Aria, "appears to be Tserof-7...but it's the tropical region, from the looks of it."

"And what part do you guys live in?" asked Ivy.

"The temperate zone."

"Oh."

"So, let's go! Same places as last time!" Otto yelled, running to the orange tube.

"Wait! Otto, where's mother going to be?" Frus asked.

"Uh...how about with you?"

Aria thought it was a good idea, and looked at her son.

"I think it sounds like a plan," she said.

So, they went to their parts of the Super Robot and took off. Aria was, again, curious as to what everything was.

"What's this?" she asked about the whole vehicle.

"This is Fist Rocket 4, mother," he told her.

She seemed to understand and looked around.

The trip went well...except for Otto singing camp songs...really badly. Luckily, Ivy saved the others' ears from that with one of her Linkin Park CDs. Aria had never heard this music before, but found it rather interesting.

"What's this music?" she asked.

"It's by a band that Ivy really likes, and I have to admit, I've gotten into their music too. They're known as Linkin Park," explained Frus.

"Oh."

Suddenly, there was a major shift in how the trip was going. The Super Robot was near its destination, when turbulance hit...BIG time. They crashed in the tropical region of Tserof-7, but luckily Otto had installed airbags...since there was a slight issue with the ejection seats he'd installed a few months previous. He was the first one out, too.

"Everyone okay?" the green monkey asked.

"Yes," said Aria.

"Yep," Frus replied.

"We're okay," the triplets replied.

"Yeah," Ivy said.

They got out and Ivy picked up the boys. All were met by a monkey.

"Glad you made it," said the monkey. "I've heard about the great Monkey Team, and contacted you for help."

Beastfire: Well, that's all I got for now. Next time, we find out what the problem is and what ol' Bone Bag's got to do with it.

Frus: Oh no...

Beastfire: What?

Frus: Not ANOTHER complication!

Ivy: What have you got planned, Frus?

Frus: NOTHING!

Beastfire, Aria, and triplets: Please review!
