"Yo, Tom. What's up with you?" Jake Long asked before Ali sent another wave of pool water on his head. Everybody gave questioning looks towards Tom to see that he was concerned about something. He then snapped back into reality.
"Nothing, I just stayed up pretty late last night." Tom told them.
"I don't blame you. I couldn't sleep either with all those noises out on the main deck. When I woke up I saw that the whole place was thrashed." Jake told the gang.
"I know. It looked like it was run over by a million cars…" Danny muttered. "Tom, did you have anything to do with this?"
Tom's eyes widened as Danny accused him. He just shook his head quickly. The rest of the gang shrugged the strange feeling off and went back to fooling around. Tom breathed a sigh of relief before scanning the pool area.
Suddenly, he saw a beautiful girl in the distance. Her long blonde hair was flowing in the breeze, and her cool blue eyes seemed to captivate him. Tom's knees became week and his heart skipped a beat. Hui Hua and Dixon noticed this and walked up to tom.
"HI!" Dixon exclaimed, making Tom jump. "If you're done checking your new girlfriend out, we'd like to have some fun now."
"What? New girlfriend…yeah right, she's not my girlfriend. I don't even…" Tom ranted.
"He's babbling, that shows signs of affection." Hui Hua told Dixon with a grin.
"What? I…ugh, you're just kids. Just go along and push Larry into the pool or something." Tom told them. They shrugged and walked off. Suddenly, two people bumped into them and the bump caused the two strangers to drop into the pool. As they came out, their blonde hair was soaking with pool water.
"HEHH, THAT WAS FUN, WASN'T IT, INSANEGUYOFDOOM?" The girl exclaimed and pulled the guy out of the water.
"HI DEDODAKES!" The boy jumped about in the water, the two then turned to Hui Hua and Dixon, who both had shocked faces. They shrugged and climbed out of the pool.
"Um…I guess it's safe to say that both of you are ok, right?" Sky asked the two.
"We're ok! We're totally criss-cross-apple-sause ok!" The girl smiled, before turning to June. "Mind if I jump on you?"
"NO!" June exclaimed, backing away from the pair.
"HI!" The boy exclaimed to Tiffany, Cubby and Larry. "I'm on a sugar rush, I like pie, muffins are awesome and flying doughnuts are my life." After he said all that in one breath, the boy gave them a huge, unnatural smile. The trio stood there dumbstruck…
"FINALLY!" They all exclaimed, rushing up to the boy.
"So um…who are you guys?" Jake asked.
"I'm Dedodakes and that's InsaneGuyofDoom." The girl said. "And we're your FAIRY GOD PARENTS!"
"What?" Jake asked in confusion.
"He said 'what'!" Dedodakes and InsaneGuyofDoom laughed hysterically, Jake just slowly backed away from them. Meanwhile, Tom was just sitting at the poolside, staring at the kids with a dull expression. The girl that he was staring at before walked towards him and took a seat next to him.
"Hi." She smiled.
"Hey." He said, after an awkward pause.
"So, you're babysitting them?" The girl smiled.
"No…they're my…friends." Tom stammered.
"Ah, your friends. I think it's great when a guy's good with kids. They look pretty nice too." The girl said, staring at the kids.
"MAJOR CANNONBALL!" Dedodakes exclaimed as everybody jumped into the pool at one go, causing water to go everywhere. Tom just looked at the girl with a questioning look.
"Um…'nice' wouldn't be the word I would use to describe them."
"You can say that again." The girl laughed. "I'm Jessica, by the way."
"I'm Tom." Tom told her.
"Well, Tom…I kind of have to go do something right now. I'll see you later, ok?" Jessica told him.
"Right…I'll see you later." Tom said, staring at Jessica as she walked off. He gave a lovestruck sigh as she left.
"I LIKE PIE!" InsaneGuyofDoom exclaimed.
"I know, you told me already." Barry said.
"I LIKE PIE!" InsaneGuyofDoom repeated.
"I know."
"I LIKE PIE!"
"I know."
"I LIKE PIE!"
"I know!"
"I LIKE PIE!"
"Shut up!"
"I LIKE PIE!"
"STOP TALKING! YOUR VOICE IS DEAFENING!"
"I LIKE PIE!"
Barry said nothing more, he just calmly stood up and ran away screaming from the pool. InsaneGuyofDoom blinked dully at Barry and shrugged, he turned back to watching his new friends.
"What's with him?" Insane asked himself.
Tom still sat by the poolside, still thinking of Jessica on his mind. Tiffany noticed this. She swam up to him and joined him by the poolside, watching her friends make total idiots of themselves.
"So?" She asked. Tom looked at her with a confused face.
"When were you going to tell us that you liked her?" She asked again. Tom's calm expression changed immediately.
"WHAT?! Like her?! Who likes her?! She's just a girl I met and…" Tom ranted. Tiffany just looked at him with a look that told him that his feelings were obvious. "I don't know…wait a second, why am I talking to you for? You're 4 years younger than me!"
"Because I'm a great kid?" Tiffany smirked. Tom rolled his eyes. Suddenly, he heard a faint beeping coming from his…wristwatch? He pulled it out and tapped it once. Shadow's voice came out of the watch.
"Tom, I got a message for you in here." Shadow told him.
"Really, who's it from?" Tom asked.
"Your brothers." Shadow sighed. Tom groaned as he got up.
"I guess I'm going to have to take this." Tom said as he walked towards the direction of the cargo pit. "Are you coming?"
"I'm invited?" Tiffany asked.
"Come on." He sighed. Tiffany just got up and ran towards him. Tom mentally slapped himself, why exactly did he invite this kid along? She could figure out his secret and she could tell everybody, then everything would be ruined. Tom sighed, he knew one thing…
If he could make sure the others thought that he was their friend, then nothing would be ruined.
"I LIKE PIE!" Insane shouted to Jake.
"Me too." He said dully.
"I LIKE PIE!"
"Me too."
"I LIKE PIE!"
"Me too!"
"I LIKE PIE!"
"Insane, would you please not bother him? Can't you see he's aggravated?" Dedodakes sighed. Insane glared at her and walked away.
"Thanks for the save." Jake smiled.
"I like uranium." Dedodakes grinned.
"Um…ok…"
"I LIKE URANIUM!"
"Oh no…"
