The Hartman Chronicles Season 2 Chapter 11
"Well if the others are doing it we might as well too!" Stephon laughed and pulled down his mask. He kissed Mint on the lips. Ichigo looked at her boyfriend.
"Well?" he asked.
"I'll turn into a cat if we kiss." Ichigo said.
"Well, then I'll turn you right back!" he said, and kissed her on the lips. Ichigo smiled and kissed him back. We lovers held that kiss for about five minutes. After the that; we released the kiss at the same time and demorphed. The zookeeper got up and looked at us.
"What are you all doing in this exhibit?" he asked.
"Well we kinda fell in," Mint lied, "Could you help us get out?"
The zookeeper nodded, "I don't see why not."
The zookeeper motioned for us to follow and we were led out of the exhibit.
"Now you kids stay out of trouble, alright?" the zookeeper smiled.
"Can do sir!" Calvin saluted.
"Good man," the zookeeper chuckled.
The eight of us sat down at one of the zoo's cafés and began to chat.
"Congrats on getting a girlfriend Calvin," Stephon laughed, "I thought I'd never see the day!"
"Be quiet, you!" Calvin snapped.
"I think it's kinda cute," Abbie smiled and nuzzled Calvin, "Two wolves coming together on the promise that one day they'll start a pack."
"That one day will be many years from now," Calvin laughed.
Abbie nodded in agreement.
"Maybe around the same time Momo and I have kids," I laughed, "I mean if we ever tie the knot and do the thing."
Stephon sighed, "Look, you all can worry about the future. For right now, I'm focused on living life to the fullest!"
"An earnest proposition," I nodded.
"Indeed," Momo nodded.
Kyoto got up, "How about we enjoy the rest of the zoo now?"
"I'm with you on that!" Ichigo cheered.
The rest of us got up and enjoyed the zoo. Pretty soon, it was time to go home. The eight of us each said our goodbyes and headed home.
"Man today was a great day," I said to myself before I went to sleep.
The next morning I woke up and did my morning routine. When I got downstairs I noticed that Tiramisu was sitting at a table on the café floor. I walked up to her.
"Hey Tiramisu!" I smiled. "How are ya?"
"I'm good," Tiramisu sighed. "It's just…ugh!"
"What?"
"You see, there is this boy I kinda like, he's some foreign exchange student from America! I don't know what to do!"
"You want to confess your love for him?"
"No! I want to get him out of my head!"
"That sounds like something Nashi would say," I laughed.
Tiramisu rolled her eyes and the café door opened. There a sixteen year old male, with green eyes, white skin, and dark brown unkempt hair stood. He was wearing a blue jacket with a red shirt under is as well as blue jeans. He scanned the room before looking at Tiramisu and waved, saying.
"Hey there! I didn't know you worked here!"
Tiramisu's face went red with embarrassment, "Go away, Andrew."
Andrew looked at Tiramisu oddly before walking up to her and asking, "Is there a problem?"
Tiramisu nodded, "Yeah there is!"
Andrew shrugged, "Well I was going to ask you if you wanted to go to the park tonight but oh well."
Tiramisu looked Andrew dead in the eyes, as if she really wanted to do what he had suggested, but wasn't sure whether or not to trust him.
"I'd love to!"
I could sense that Tiramisu had an uneasy tone in her voice.
This doesn't bode well, I thought, I'm going to make sure that nothing bad happens to Tiramisu.
"So I was thinking tonight around seven?"
Alright, good, he gave me a time, I thought.
"Sounds good, Andrew."
I left and went on to make the treats for the day. When seven o'clock rolled around I heard the café door open again. Andrew was in the door way and yelled out into the café.
"Hey Tiramisu!" Andrew yelled, "You ready to go?"
As am I, I thought, Time to do some stalking!
"Yeah I'm ready!" Tiramisu said.
Andrew and Tiramisu walked to the park. The night time had given me excellent cover. When the two got into the park, Andrew walked over to a hill and sat down on it. Tiramisu followed his lead, sat down, and looked to the sky.
"Beautiful night isn't it?" Andrew asked.
"Yeah," Tiramisu said.
"Reminds me of your eyes," Andrew smiled.
Okay a comment on the eyes, typical first steps when you're trying to score a date, I thought.
Tiramisu blushed, "Really?"
Andrew nodded; Tiramisu smiled shyly and then shook her head.
Andrew got up and stretched, "Listen, I need to go do something real quick, you guys stay here alright?"
Tiramisu nodded and Andrew walked off. Tiramisu looked in the bushes nearby. "Adrian?"
I sighed and stepped out into the field.
"Adrian what are you doing here?"
"This Andrew guy, I don't fell right around him."
"Why do you say that?"
"It is a gut feeling, and normally my gut feelings are right."
"Whatever," Tiramisu said
"Well, Well, Well, if it isn't Adrian and Tiramisu," I heard a familiar voice laugh.
"Grant," I said, "How did you know we were here?"
"I have my sources," Grant chuckled and appeared in from a puff of black smoke. "Listen I know it is not very polite to go in and crash a date like this, but, there are breakthroughs in science that need to be made! Now if you would please kindly die for me…oh who am I kidding! I'll have to kill you the old fashioned way!" a robot with machine gun arms walked forward. "Say hello to my newest creation, its guns weighs one hundred and fifty kilograms and fires two hundred dollar custom made cartridges. It would cost six hundred to dollars to fire this baby's guns for twelve seconds," Grant laughed, "Fortunately I know how to make these custom cartridges so it doesn't cost me a dime!" Grant paused for a second, "Where were we, oh right, this machine's bullets will rip you to shreds! I will then collect blood samples from your corpses!"
"Oh no you won't, Ribbon Tiramisu Metamorphosis!" Tiramisu exclaimed and went into her Mew form. I followed in suit. Tiramisu took out her violin, "Ribbon Tiramisu Rebound!" she exclaimed and played a long, consistent, high-pitched note. The robot stumbled for a bit, I took this time to fire a Siberian Cannon. The cannon hit the monster on the top of its left arm and took off a good chunk of its shoulder.
"Oh dear!" Grant said, "I seem to have miscalculated this robots durability to fire type attacks!" Grant took out a strange looking gun, "Time to even the odds!" He shot several needles from the gun and pinned us to some trees. Grant pointed at us, "Kill them!"
I closed my eyes and waited for the end. The sound of bullets was heard; it sounded like the bullets were ricocheting off metal. I opened my eyes and saw a grey skinned, pale blue haired, male demon. The demon had leathery bat wings and black pants, but no shirt on. When the bullets subsided the demon put his hands down. In each hand was a double bladed, green glaive.
Grant looked at the demon in shock, "Who are you!"
The demon looked at us and then at Grant, "A friend to these two, but to you, I'm your worst nightmare!"
Grant made his needle gun fire several needles at the demon. The demon knocked the needles aside and lunged at the robot. He sliced up the robot and looked at Grant.
"Run coward," the demon cackled, "Run!"
Grant bolted off and the demon turned to us.
"Who are you!" Tiramisu exclaimed.
"I said it before, a friend" the demon repeated itself. He walked over and pulled the needles, that had been holding us, out of the tree. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll be off" The demon took to the air and flew away.
A few minutes later Tiramisu's cell phone rang.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Hey Tiramisu!" Andrew's voice said, "Listen, I'm going to have to bail on the date tonight, something just came up! We'll have to reschedule!"
"Okay," Tiramisu said and hung up, "Boy that guys is weird.
, my cell phone rang and I picked up, Lisa was on the line.
"Adrian!" she cried as the sound of yelling picked up in the back ground, "Adrian you've got to come quick! It's my father!"
"Consider us there!" I exclaimed and hung up the phone.
"Come on Tiramisu, we've got to go save Lisa!"
