Los Muertos Kemples

Angela watched as the clouds subsided and the sun allow its ugly shining face to shine into hers. For three long days she had lain and done nothing, but today she was up and about, ready for action. She was sure that someone was following them, if not for trouble then for help. But in her heart Angela felt something nag at her. She felt she had forgotten something that she would need later on. But she couldn't figure what it was. Tee and Meldar were extremely loyal to her, probably due to her injuries. And surprisingly, Grandma Taters, Beautiful Gorgeous, The Junk Man and King Goobot had grown on Meldar. A complete change had errupted itself in his outlook and actions.

"Do you think the villians will be our allies?" Libby asked.
"At this part I'm not sure." Cindy replied.
"We've spent alot of time with them." Carl said.
"Yeah, but we haven't seen any changes." Jimmy replied.
"Well, Grandma Taters and Beautiful Gorgeous maybe." Sheen said.
"Their still evil." Jimmy said. "I can see it in their eyes."
"Once evil, always evil." Cindy said.
"I agree, we cannot be sure." Libby said.
"So, are we going to confront them?" Carl asked.
"No, we'll wait and see." Jimmy stated.

Grandma Taters really wanted to believe that Meldar was abandoning himself for good but she felt that nagging bit of helplessness whenever she looked at his freind vandanna. She just wasn't interacting with the others. All she wanted to do was stay inside Meldar's ship. And whatever she was doing inside it was a great mystery to them all. Meldar though had a clue, every day at noon he'd go into his ship and stay for an hour or two. Then he would return and whenever anyone would ask, he'd ignore it. Angela couldn't get any answers either.

"So, where are we going next?" Beautiful Gorgeous asked.
"Los Muertos Kemples on the lower end on Velexia." Angela said.
"Los Muertos Kemples," The Junk Man exclaimed. "Is on the upper end of Velexia."
"Oh, yeah right." Angela said sheepishly.
"I wonder if Meldar knows where it is." Professor Calamitous whispered to King Goobot.
"I heard that." Angela exclaimed.
"Sorry, we just figured that maybe we could go by Meldar's instructions for a while." King Goobot said.
"That's no problem, I'm just really anxious to get home." Angela sighed.
"So are we." Jimmy exclaimed.
"Yeah, how long have we been gone?" Sheen asked.
"Well, you guys have been gone for three months." Angela said.
"THREE MONTHS!" Libby yelled.
"We must get home now." Cindy exclaimed.
"That's another reason to get home quickly." Angela said. "The faster the better."
"Then lets go." Sheen exclaimed. "Before our parents send out a missing persons report."
"Too late for that." Angela said. "First week you were missing."
"Hurry lets go." Jimmy yelled.
"Where's Meldar?" Sheen asked.
"In his ship." Grabdma Taters said.
"Again?" Libby exclaimed. "What is he hiding?"
"I don't think he's hiding anything." Angela said.
"The why..." Libby started.
"Guilt honey." Angela said.
"Guilt," Cindy said. "For what?"
"For destroying those planets." Beautiful Gorgeous said.

Before dawn the band were on their way to Velexia. Meldar had at first said he wasn't going to go that far. Then when he was told his mother was going he abandoned himself and reluctantly followed. With Angela in her own newly refurnished ship with Boclar and Nancella; the convey traveled a ways before stopping for a rest at the asteroid belt. Then the next morning they followed the belt to the outside rings of Saturn. On the left side was the small orange and blue planet of Velexia, and on the right was its orange, blue and red moon.

"See that right there?" Grandma Taters asked.
"Yeah, what is it?" Libby asked.
"Los Muertos Kemples." The Junk Man said.
"It's, it's so big." Libby complemented.

Los Muertos Kemples was a huge city of lights, buildings and people. Almost every inch off the city had a light or a banner on the outposts. The landing strips were short and narrow, but all four ships landed perfectly. Once on the strips everyone unloaded. Angela wanted to get a few things then leave, but once there noone wanted to leave. The shops dazzeled Libby, Cindy, Beautiful Gorgeous and Grandma Taters, the Velexian suits made Meldar drool, Vandanna even came out and began to look shop, Angela had a harder time then she thought. It was like they all we a child let loose in a candy store.

"Look at that necklace." Libby exclaimed.
"It is a cool necklace." Cindy said.
"You guys want it?" Angela sighed.
"YES!" Libby and Cindy exclaimed.

Angela walked over to the shop vendor and he gave her two of the pure diamond necklaces. Libby at once placed hers on. Cindy asked for a bag. Angela bought two rubies for her generators and then they were off. On the other side of the city Grandma Taters, Sheen, Carl, Jimmy and Beautiful Gorgeous were shopping. Jimmy and Sheen begged for a cape of precious gems, Carl bought a crystal glass ring for his mother and Beautiful Gorgeous bought a black suit speckled with rubies, diamonds, saphires and opals. Grandma Taters bought a new guitar. Tee, Zix, Travoltron, King Goobot, Eustace and The Junk Man stayed on the ships, guarding them.

"You think you got enough?" Angela asked.
"Yeah, I think so." Libby said.
"Lets get back on the ship, go home." Angela said.
"Really?" Libby asked.
"To my home then I'll take you guys home." Angela said.

Everyone boarded their ships and before they all knew it, they were off the strips and headed south. Cliffs of blue and brown heaved themselves at their underbellies and the weather threatened them. Grandma Taters took her newly bought guitar out and started to play a blues song. Sheen and Libby joined with harmonica's and Cindy sang. Angela had no choice but to shut off her radio. Meldar and Vandanna already had theirs off.

Before the second day of their departure they hit the ground in front of Angela's white house. The white fences and the green grass was as it had been when they had left it last. Boclear, Gertrude, Jertread, Henread and a bunch of other Velexians ran out of the house without closing the door. Angela left her ship quickly and before she knew it, she was engulfed with hugs and kisses. Nancella and Boclar were next. Grandma Taters, The Junk Man, Tee, Travoltron, King Goobot, Beautiful Gorgeous, Professor Calamitous, Jimmy, Cindy, Sheen, Carl, Eustace and Libby followed. Then Meldar and Vandanna came out. Everyone was quiet then.
