The ELF Adventures of Ronica and Michael.

Chapter 4

Ronica and Micheal both gulped. They were in trouble. Ronica looked at Michael and looked back at laura who was now joined by Tony and Dagwood. It almost seemed as both the travelers thought about blocking Laura out of their heads but it wasn't any use. She had heard enough to question the two.

"I haven't seen you two around here." She asked as she crossed her arms again. She was not happy at all. "I suggest you two follow me and wait for me at the office." She took notice that the seaQuest crew members were behind her. Ronica rubbed her arm as Michael cleared his throat.

"There is a good reason why you haven't seen us. I mean.. we came with.. them!" Michael answered as quickly as it came to his head. He held up the pass and showed it to Laura. "See. UEO CERTIFIED!" Michael grinned as Ronica took his lead.

"Yup. We came with them. Didn't we Tony? I mean just yesterday we were talking to Lucas about girls in cages and all. Please.. Tony... Remember?" Ronica tried to convince the crew member who just gave her a strange stare.

"I don't know any of ya. Your just mind readers like all the rest around us." Tony replied as he shifted his bag to his other shoulder.

"That is funny. Tony was always the comedian. I mean just the other week, there was a mission that I can't talk about but Lucas ended up in a massive hole with a massive worm thing.. that was one close call wasn't it?" Michael replied as Laura took Michaels ID and looked it over. Tony took Ronica's tag and looked at it over as well. They did say they were crew members of the seaQuest. Maybe it was someone he hadn't meant before. He looked at both of them and thought it over.

"Maybe the Cap can straight this out. If ya were part of the crew, ya sure were not on the shuttle so I don't know how ya got here. Ever see them on board Dag?" tony replied. Dagwood looked really puzzled.

"Dagwood not so sure. Maybe work with Dr. Smith?" Dagwood replied as he rubbed his temple.

"Yea! Captain Bridger can tell you who we are. Lets go talk to him" Ronica asked a bit rushed. She had to warn them. Laura quickly stepped in.

"Yes. After we get our tests done. They have to be done quickly now since your experience is still fresh in your mind." Laura replied, not wanting the two young guests get out of her sight. "Come, this way." Laura told the group as she walked towards a building. She had to report to Clay at once at the new situation they are in now. Ronica and Michael followed Dagwood and Tony close behind. Tony kept turning to see the two and ask Dagwood again if they seemed too young to be part of the UEO. Ronica walked a bit fast and close to Tony.

"Please believe us what we are going to say, we have information for you. You need to block everything Tony. You will be walking into a trap. Please.. believe us and..." Ronica stopped talking when Laura turned around and looked at them. Ronica didn't know if she heard them or seen them talking but whatever it was, Laura did not look pleased.

"I need both of you to enter the sanitation room and put on the white jumpsuits that are there for you. The team there will tell you where to go and then you guys can go home." Laura pointed to the room. Tony and Dagwood looked at each other and then back at Ronica and Michael. Ronica's words still echoed in Tony's mind.

"Is there something wrong Mr. Piccolo?" Laura asked as tony shook his head.

"I guess I just don't like this tests things." Tony said as he motioned to Dagwood to follow him. Ronica and Michael were right behind them when Laura stopped them.

"You two will not be part of the test but can view it in this other room. Now you two follow me." Laura said as the door closed behind Dagwood. Ronica and Michael gulped. They knew where this was leading to. They both followed Laura to a room where Wendy Smith and Clay Marshall were talking and remembering good times.

"Ah, Laura. I take it our guests are getting ready" Clay replied as smooth as ever. Ronica was a bit annoyed. Clay was not easy on the eyes. Yuck.

"Yes. And I see two other crew members also decided to join us." Laura mentioned the two people that were behind her. Wendy took a look at them as she felt nervousness and a bit scared feelings coming from them.

"Yea, we needed time off the seaQuest and Captain Bridger thought it was best to send us up world." Ronica replied as she felt everyone's eyes on them. Wendy studied them as she crossed her arms.

"Oh? And the Captain ordered this?" Wendy replied.

"Yes Ma'am." Michael replied as he placed his hands in his pocket. They both were scared of Clay who was next to them. They looked at Wendy and mentally thinking for help. Wendy went with her feelings and played along with the game they were playing.

"If it was an order from the Captain, I guess we have to follow it. Why won't you two come close with me so you can help me with Tony and Dagwood." Wendy ordered the two who nodded. They were saved. For now. Clay and Laura said something in their mind but continued the experiment. Clay felt something strange coming from the two people that said they were part of the crew. Fear. With fear there is always something to hide. Clay wanted to dig into this more but had to save his energy for what he was about to do to Mr. Piccolo. Laura went near Dagwood who took a seat in a medical chair and had two assistants started to stick something on his forehead. Dagwood started to peal them off and Laura looked at Wendy.

"It is amazing that something that was genetically engineered could have PSI powers." Laura replied the lie she was told to say. Wendy stared at her friend.

"Are you ok Laura? You seem.. I feel you a bit tensed." Wendy asked. Ronica and Michael was near Dagwood as they talked between themselves.

"Don't scan me Wendy." Laura asked as Tony came into the room and they went to go talk to him about the experiment that was about to take place. Tony turned to see Ronica and Michael with Dagwood and Ronica motioned with her head not to go on with the test. Tony's attention was brought back to the test as Wendy and Laura explained it. Michael turned to Ronica as Dagwood was left alone as Tony's test began.

"This is not going well Ronica. Clay obviously suspect something" Michael whispered to Ronica as she nodded her head.

"Not at all. We need to get out of here but.. I don't even know how we are going to do this. Wendy believe us. But we know how this goes. Wait... your a computer expert aren't you?" Ronica asked her friend.

"I took some classes... where are you going with this?"

"We can email Lucas. I mean if it is the same from the internex here, we can warn him about Clay. They won't believe us at all so we have to disclose some information on him but... so many fanfics I have read I really don't know what is his real background!"

"Bloody hell.. we can at least try to warn them. But we also have to block Clay out of our heads."

" I know! We were part of the RPG right? We can jump into those characters. I mean they were part of us for years. It is easy to do so."

"Oh sure, are you ok up there Ronica? Clay will figure us out!"

"Shut up Michael or else you will be the reason we get caught. Now please, Captain Michael... we have to play along. After this experiment, we have a few moments before we return to the seaQuest and you know what happens there... "

"We hit a thermal... " Michael gulped as he remembered the part of the episode. Tony started to scream and they both turned to see the dome he climbed into was shut tight. Ronica turned to Dagwood.

"Dag, hes trap. You have to help him. Please. Clay is bad. Remember that." Ronica said to the GELF who looked puzzled. Tony started to scream more and Dagwood was up in a flash. Laura and Wendy was by the computer monitors and tried to figure out what was going on. Ronica stood near Dagwood.

"Something is scaring him." She said as she remembered that was what Wendy was going to say. Wendy turned to Ronica as she almost felt she read her thought.

"Dagwood, get him out of there. The dome won't open." Michael asked the strong dagger to lift it open. Wendy looked at Laura who nodded. The dome was stuck. Dagwood opened it with ease as Tony's shaken body fell out of the dome. Dagwood and Wendy was by his side to help him up.

"I want to go home... " Tony managed to say as he was still shaking from fear. Ronica went on the other side of Tony and looked at Wendy.

"Let's go alone. Just us. No one else. This is too much for Tony and I believe more tests will cause him harm... and... "Ronica squinted as she grabbed her head. She felt an intense headache. Michael offered his support as Ronica took his arm and leaned on him.

"Are you ok?" Michael asked.

"I think I just got a taste of Clay, Captain." Ronica replied as the pain from her head started to ease.

"I think its best if we talk to Clay on what to do. I don't want to stress Tony out more." Wendy helped Tony up on his feet and sat him down on the opened dome. Wendy turned to Ronica and Michael.

"Why don't you two inform the Captain on what is happening." Wendy asked the two. Both their eyes widen. She knew something was going on. There was a reason for the two for being there. This was a chance to let everyone know. Michael nodded his head.

"Yes Ma'am." Michael replied.

"Laura, where is the vid-link here?" Wendy asked.

"Uh, out in the hall, second door on the right is the room." Laura hesitated. She knew the two knew something their plans. This was not good. Michael took Ronica's hand and lead her out of the exam room and down the hall. Ronica's head still ached a bit as they entered the room. In front of them was a large screen and a keyboard.

"Do you still know how to call the seaQuest?" Ronica asked as her head was a bit foggy.

"Who is the one that knows each episode by heart?" Michael mocked as he knew he could always beat Ronica in the seaQuest quoting game.

"Oh shut up and just dial the number."

"Pushy Americans... " Michael replied as he dialed the code that would directly connect them to the seaQuest. Before the last code was entered, the door behind them opened as both turned around, startled by the noise. They both gulped as they saw Clay in the door way.

"I don't think the call will be needed. But.. we haven't met and I would like an introduction before I go into the exam room. I believe there is a lot we can talk about." Clay said as he tilted his head and tried to read their minds.
