Chapter 3: Familiar Strangers
"MOM, are we THERE yet?"
"Wow, I've never seen you so hyped up for school, Kio!" She giggled as she patted his right shoulder gently.
"Please mom, school is going to be as boring as in middle school but this time, there are parties and lots of other things." He smiled as he looked out the window.
"Well, don't get drunk or whatever at those parties or else-"
"Yes, yes, you'll take me back home and make me baby sit Aryll for the rest of my life, I know."
"And then you can be our slave when we go into retirement!" she laughed at the vacation that would be.
"Well this is the airport! I'll help get your stuff." After much manual labor, they got all
of his luggage out of the car and headed into the airport.
"Kio Hylian, huh? Age fourteen. He's a minor. A flight attendant will get on and off with you and wait until there's a guardian there until we will let him leave. Alright?"
"Yes, thanks very much!" The woman smiled as she printed out the ticket and gave it to Kio.
"Well this is it. I can't go past the security with you so this is our good bye!" She hugged him for a couple of minutes. Her make up was messed up with her wet tears. "Be careful out there!! I love you sweetie!! Don't forget to call!!" She kissed him on the forehead and watched him go through the security. He looked back and waved until he disappeared in the crowd of people.
"Next!!! Okay, so this is Mars Altea, age fourteen and he's going to be a minor with a-"
"Yes, we know so can you please print out the ticket already?" The woman behind the desk just glared at the other woman hoping someone could run her over with a suitcase or something.
"Here you go. Now you can load all your belongings onto the scale."
"Thanks very much ma'am!" the teen beamed as he took his ticket and left. 'Like the son, hate women like that mother. Think Bahamas, trip to the Bahamas the woman thought trying to deal with all those grumpy unfriendly people.
"Well this is it, mom-"
"What did you call me?" She glared daggers at Mars as if he just called her an old ugly hag.
"I thought that since you took care of me-"
"No, don't ever call me that name AGAIN!! Ike is my true son and always will be unlike you!! You will never be a son in my eyes ever again!!" With that she slapped him on the cheek and left. Mars knew that was coming, but he just wanted her to know anyways. He watched her small figure disappear until he went through the security, it was
like an opening gate that lead to a whole new world of opportunities and freedom.
"Hey Eli where did you go man?"
"What? A father can't have privacy from his son, geez?" Two laughed.
"No really dad, I can't really pay the fee." They both turned to the woman at the desk.
"Oh yes sorry about that, Dennis!"
"Dad……Dad that says Denise." The lady just looked at them with an angry glare.
"Ah yes, I'm so sorry about that. I would like to have a plane ticket for my son, Roy Pherae, age fourteen going as a minor." The lady pressed some buttons on the screen and soon a ticket was printed out. With some help from his father they loaded the bags onto the scale and were off.
"Smooth one Eliwood!" Roy laughed as they walked away.
"Son, there's a lesson to be learned here-"
"Not to call women guy names?" Roy laughed again.
"No, it's that when you get old you lose your vision so-"
"Then you lose your hair!"
"Now wait a second, I still have my hair and it's not falling out thanking you very much!"
"Don't worry dad, it will soon. Umm….Dad?"
"BEEP BEEP BEEP!!!" went the metal detecter.
"DAD you can't go through the security!"
"Ah yes, why thank you Roy!"
"Well we'll see each other again okay? Don't forget to call since writing letters is way above your level!" They both laughed and soon Eliwood gave Roy a knuckle sandwich.
"A quick hug?" He nodded and was about to pull away until he felt strong hands not letting go.
"And Roy, please don't scare us like that, alright?" He whispered in Roy's ears. Roy nodded and waved goodbye as he went through the security almost running into the metal detector.
"Are you in?"
"Yes."
"Did you do it?"
"Yes."
"Good job, this should be a blast." The stranger laughed at the other end of the blue tooth and the man couldn't help but smile at the joke himself.
"Ah DANG PUZZLE!!!" the teen shouted as everyone turned to him. 'Shoot!'
He got up with his pack and started for the food stand.
"Hi, give me the potato chips and the Pepsi."
"That would be nine dollars and fifty cents." Kio digged through his pockets to find the money and handed it to the man.
"Out of ten, here's fifty cents."
"Thanks!" he said and took the food with him. Kio was about to go to his seat until he saw something he had seen before. 'I know you but where?' Kio was about to go over to the other boy until someone bumped into him. He saw them look up at him too, maybe the boy recognized him as well.
'Evil Eliwood, I bet he made me this late on purpose!!' Roy thought as he sprinted through the airport trying to find the right gate.
"Come on come on! Where are you stupid gate!!?" Roy looked up at the gate sign. "GATE NUMBER 7!!!" he shouted as he tried to stop but soon found himself sliding on the tiled floor.
"WATCH OUT!!!!" he shouted as someone was in his target range but the warning was too late.
"AAAHHHH!!" they shouted as they were just slide tackled. Chips and soda went flying.
"OH MY GOD!! I'm SO SORRY!! ARE YOU HURT!! I CAN PAY YOU BACK FOR THE FOOD!!" Roy was having a panic attack for tackling the pour soul.
"Yeah, that definitely woke me up!" He said as he picked up his fallen chips and soda. He looked over at the sitting crowd. 'Where is he?' he thought as he scanned the crowd. He wasn't there.
"Look, it's okay! Just forget about!"
"Hey turn around, I just want to apologize for running you over!" Kio turned around. "I'm really sorry. I can pay you back for the food." Kio just stared. "Okay maybe not. I'll see you around right?" Kio nodded as he watched the teen leave to get food himself. 'Well this is one heck of a day' Kio sat himself down waiting to board soon.
Roy went to the food stand to get some gum.
"Hey is that kid alright?"
"Yeah, I just feel really bad that I did that though."
"Yeah no kidding. Anyways, that will be one fifty."
"Okay, keep the change!" Roy went to the seats with his gum trying to look for the poor victim but couldn't find him or an empty seat for that matter.
"Here do you need a seat?" Roy whipped around.
"Sure thanks!!" Roy sat down next to the stranger. When they weren't looking at him, he looked at the kind stranger that gave him the seat. He seemed his age with a cap on and big blue head set connected to a hidden ipod in their pocket.
"Doesn't it feel like you're finally free?" the stranger asked. Roy had no idea what they were talking about. After all, they did live in a free country. But then again…
"I guess you're right." Roy sat back and enjoyed a piece of his gum. "Would you like some?" the stranger took a piece and popped it in their mouth.
"Thanks." They were about to go into their world of music until Roy held up his hand.
"I'm Roy, Roy Pherae! Who are you?" They turned their dark blue eyes on Roy. They drank in his image and yet they seemed confused. They sighed sadly, shaking their head. "What's wrong, sorry if I offended you!" The stranger chuckled.
"My name Mars- forget it. My name is Marth, nice to meet you Roy!" they shook hands and smiled. 'This is going to be an awesome plane ride!' Roy thought. 'Five years, Roy and yet you're still the same old Roy' Marth chuckled again but this time, it was a saddened chuckle, 'how much have we all changed not to be recognized?'
