Change of plan though, I'm just going straight into the next days so...
1 Chapter = 1 Day.
All Gremlins are owned by Joe Dante.
Angela is owned by me.
Hope you all like this chapter cause trust me, many things will happen!
Enjoy! :D
The sun smiled to itself as it poured out its warm magnificent rays of light, casting it down on the people below it. The sand was given a beautiful massage as many people walked slowly across it; the finishing touches were done by no other than the sea as it rolled up the sand, before slipping back in to its depths. The air was salty and all you could taste was grains of sand on the tip of your tongue, flying through the air like hurricanes, lingers of hot dogs, sugar coated doughnuts and ice creams flew through the air, attracting all the hungry souls to have a bite and pay up there cash. People even entertained themselves by jogging along the soft grained sand, building towers and skyscrapers with buckets and spades or paddling in the crystal blue sea.
The same could be said for the Peltzer family, Billy, Kate, Gizmo and Angela all had came to the beach that day to have some rest and relaxation and right now, they were getting extremely hungry.
"Kate... I'm hungry..." Gizmo begged, as he snuggled up against her pearl skinned leg.
"Yeah, me too." Angela mentioned, whilst moving one of her arms towards her tummy and looking up at Kate.
Billy then instantly felt his stomach grumble.
"I guess I'm hungry to, I think it's time we had some food." Billy said, as he stood up from there cabana that they were sitting under, Kate joining him also.
The Young couple glanced at the two Mogwai, before asking them both what they would like, Gizmo responded by having a hot sugar coated doughnut while Angela wanted a strawberry ice cream, the young couple also decided to get some hot dogs for themselves and after sorting out the money, they pulled out two small, but light and trendy jackets and passed them to the two Mogwai.
"What are these things?" Angela asked, as she held the light coat in the air, whilst looking at it from the front and the back.
"Water and Light proof jackets." Billy responded. "It's so that you and Gizmo can go out front on the beach without being affected by any of its surroundings. My father invented a few for Giz."
Gizmo smiled at Billy, whilst slipping his on. "Thanks Billy." Gizmo said cheerfully, whilst picking up a pair of sunglasses and putting them over his eyes.
"We'll be back in a few minutes, behave yourselves while were gone, k?" Kate noted, before grabbing her handbag and swinging it over her shoulder.
"Okay." The Mogwai said in unison
And with that, the Peltzer couple were gone.
Angela pulled a face at the coat that was in front of her before shrugging her shoulders and putting it on over her arms before looking at Gizmo's light jacket. His was a black one with flames going up from the bottom while hers was Red-Orange with electric green stripes going here and there; she made a mental note to ask Billy if she could have her very own designed one besides, all these designs were too boyish for her. She gazed at Gizmo as he lay back in the shade, sunglasses perched over his eyes, hands behind his head in a resting position, his cute yet, cheeky smile on his button mouth was everlasting for her, his jacket was open slightly, showing off his milk chocolate and white belly, he also had black demin swim trunks on that went up to his knees.
Angela quickly looked away and sighed to herself, she needed to focus besides, she had a job to do, and that was why she was hanging with Gizmo in the first place. Plus, she promised Stripe last night that she would return with some useful information this time round as she hadn't got anything really that useful the day before. Angela looked up at the sky, and thought about everything that was going on.
Before she met Gizmo, she felt like she could do anything whether a mission was dangerous or not, she would always do it, even if it cost her life. But now, she felt defenceless, fragile, all the words that she had never felt when it came to missions, it was like Gizmo had paralyzed her from doing anything. Plus, she hated to admit this to even herself... she was attracted to Gizmo.
"No... I can't be falling for him... we've only known each other for a day and I'm falling for him. God... he looks so good on that beach towel... no! Don't Angie! Besides, you've already got your eye on someone and love at first sight... it's just a load of rubbish, isn't it?"
"Angela? Are you ok?"
Angela snapped out of her thoughts to see Gizmo staring at her quizzically, his dark brown eyes widening in worry at her whilst his sunglasses were now in one of his hands.
"I'm fine Gizmo, I'm just... taking in the scenery, this really is a beautiful beach." Angela replied, before turning her head to look straight at Gizmo. "You know, you guys didn't have to invite me along, but it was really kind of you... thanks."
Gizmo only smiled at her. "It's ok Angela besides; you do need to know what Earth is all about, don't you?"
Angela paused for a moment before remembering her lie that she had told him the day before. "Oh yeah, and I gotta say that I'm loving it already."
"Good." Gizmo replied, before lying back down on his beach towel
For a moment all was silent, all that was heard was the whistling wind as it blew, the chirping seagulls slowly joining in with its melody. Angela could feel her heart pumping in her body as she looked over at Gizmo, she could feel it in her whole body, the adrenaline, the tension, the sweat of it all.
"Time to carry out the mission." Angela thought.
Slowly, she turned her head towards Gizmo and gulped, she knew she had to do it sometime or another besides; Stripe wasn't going to wait forever now, was he?
"Um... Gizmo?"
"Yeah Angela?"
"I've been hearing many things about you since I came here."
Gizmo jumped up from his beach towel instantly, his eyes wide with surprise, fur standing up like spikes. "Y-Y-Y-Yeah W-What kind of things?" he asked.
Confusion was spread across Gizmo's face as he kept his eyes pinned on Angela, who was surprised with what reaction she got out of him.
"I've heard about your past Gizmo, I know more than you think, like that Gremlin... Stripe was it? Who caused trouble down at Kingston falls? It must have been an invasion of some sort, I think someone put Stripe up to it surely someone can't be that-"
Gizmo could feel all his anger boiling up. First, Angela says that she 'knows' about his past and then says 'someone put Stripe up to it' Did she even know what he had been through? Gizmo could feel his tears bubbling up and with a tear stained voice, he screamed: "NO ONE PUT STRIPE UP TO IT!"
Angela froze out of shock, she didn't expect that. "How do you know?" She asked, ready to back up her case if needed.
Gizmo wiped the tears out of his eyes and looked straight at Angela, showing her his slightly blood shot eyes from crying his eyes out. "I KNOW BECAUSE I WAS HIS BLOODY VICTIM, I SPAWNED HIM, HE WAS A BAD GREMLIN ANGELA AND THAT WAS NO LIE, HE TORTURED ME, HE TRIED TO KILL ME, MY FRIENDS, AND HE TRIED TO TAKE OVER THE CITY!" Gizmo then shuddered slightly, the memories were coming back, he could always remember looking into Stripe's blood red eyes when he was held in Stripe's extra tight grip, it always made him shiver and wriggle even more and the glint in them... was unmistakeable, no mercy in them what so ever. "I WAS THERE WHEN HE DIED, IT WAS HORRIFYING, EVERY NIGHT AFTERWARDS I ALWAYS HAD A NIGHTMARE ABOUT HIM COMING BACK FOR ME, TRYING TO KILL ME, AND YOU TELL ME THAT SOMEONE PUT HIM UP TO IT! SHAME ON YOU ANGELA, BLOODY SHAME!"
Gizmo then got a tissue and blew his nose, whilst turning away from Angela; he didn't want her to see him like this. Angela widened her eyes as she watched Gizmo blow his nose and turn away from her, he was actually doing good for a liar, so good that she couldn't even come up with a good defence line. But, she knew that something wasn't right in all of this.
"Wow... he's good... too good... from the way he's acting, it's like he's actually telling the truth but something in me is telling me that one of them is lying I mean, both Stripe and Gizmo are putting up a good case and... Lenny, he was on Stripe's case and... He wouldn't lie to me... would he? No... Don't be silly Angela, Lenny would NEVER lie to you like that, and I'm still going to say that Stripe's telling the truth but in my heart, it just says Gizmo. But I know for sure something's fishy in all of this." Angela thought, as she stared hard at Gizmo, who was still crying.
Sighing to herself, Angela stood up, walked over to Gizmo and sat next to him. "Gizmo... I... I'm so sorry I... never thought it was that bad I..."
Gizmo looked straight at her and gave her a small smile. "It's ok Angela, it's just what with everything going on around me and what happened a few days ago and what happened in the-
Angela quickly put one finger to his lips. "Shhhh... it's ok, I know just how it feels..."
Gizmo widened his eyes at her as Angela removed her finger from his lips. "You do?" He asked.
Angela only nodded. "Yeah... although... I'd rather not talk about it; it brings back memories... bad memories."
Gizmo smiled and nodded. "I understand."
Angela could feel a bubbly smile creep up on her face as she stared at Gizmo, she had never felt this good ever, not even when she was with Lenny, her and Gizmo actually had more in common that she thought. Or not.
"So... um... Gizmo, let's forget about what I just said, I was just being stupid..." Angela suggested, whilst wrapping her arm round Gizmo
Gizmo smiled at her. "It's ok, really, you don't have to apologise." He said, as he wiped his eyes once again with the tissue, he then reached for the bucket and spade. "Want to make a sand castle?" He asked.
Angela grinned and removed her arm from Gizmo before fixing her light jacket. "Sure!" She replied, whilst putting all the coverage on
Gizmo only smiled and put his coverage on before passing Angela the spade. "Come-on! Let's go!" he yelled, as he ran out to scoop up the sand with the bucket.
"Coming Gizmo!" Angela yelled, as she ran towards him
As Angela ran with Gizmo she felt completely free, a totally different person, devoid of everything that was once in her mind. For once in her life, she was at peace, for she ran after Gizmo with a bright yellow spade clutched in one hand and a brimming smile on her face.
"BLOODY CHEATERS! WHO NEEDS YA!" Stripe screamed, as he threw all his cards down on the table and threw his seat into the nearest wall, causing it to break at impact.
The Gremlins at the table, plus Mohawk stared at Stripe wide eyed as they slowly put their cards back down on the table.
"Stripe, you did lose the game y'know, it didn't mean that you had to throw your seat at the wall and be a bad sport about it." Mohawk mentioned, as he stared up at Stripe, despite being a Mogwai.
Stripe marched over to Mohawk and got in his face. "Mohawk my friend, I DID NOT, I REPEAT DID NOT, LOSE THAT GAME ON NORMAL TERMS, SOMEONE HERE IS CHEATING AND I KNOW IT!"
"Stripe... you're just being paranoid... really, it's just a game!" Mohawk whined, as he crossed his arms and rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Stripe got out of Mohawk's face and folded his arms. "Well, SOMEONE IS CHEATING HERE! Besides, I ALWAYS WIN at cards, and you and these buffoons have only just been introduced to the game!" Stripe exclaimed, whilst motioning to the Gremlins behind them.
"HEY!" The Gremlins yelled, knowing that they were being mentioned.
"So like I said I KNOW THA-
"OH STRIIIIIIPEY!"
Stripe jumped in surprise at the shriek behind him, it was one he knew all too well. Growling, he forced himself round to see Greta smiling seductively at him, with her luxurious green hair tied up with a rag and she was wearing a VERY revealing dress.
"Oh. It's you. What do you want Greta?" Stripe said flatly, whilst staring at her dress.
"Well, I was actually here to see how my Stripey Wipey's doing." Greta cooed, whilst wrapping her arm round Stripe's waist and at the words 'Stripey' and 'Wipey' she grabbed Stripe's chin, pulling his face down towards hers, Stripe could smell her breath, it was a combination of dirt, perfume and lipstick, he gagged slightly, it wasn't the best combination at all.
At this, the Gremlins and Mohawk started sniggering behind them, at this, Stripe growled to himself and pulled away from Greta, muttering several words in the process.
Greta only sighed, heartbroken that Stripe pulled away like that, but she tried not to let it get to her. "So, um, what are you guys doing exactly?" Greta questioned, as she stared at Stripe.
"Well, we were playing a game of cards that is, until, Stripe threw his seat at the window because someone 'cheated.'" Mohawk replied, whilst doing the speech marks with his fingers at the word 'Cheated.'
"Someone did cheat though Mohawk, I know it!" Stripe replied, whilst giving evil eyes to the Gremlins.
Greta only giggled in response as she flounced over to the Gremlins at the table, twirling her dress round in the process. When she got to the table, she sat on the edge, keeping her back to the Gremlins but she did twist her head round to them, giving them a dastardly grin.
"You guys better watch out, cause it's not the best option to cheat with my Stripey, cause if you cheat Stripey, you cheat me. Besides, Stripey can get real angry if you cheat him." Greta said, whilst smirking.
"What d'ya mean Greta?" Mohawk yelled, curious about what she meant.
"Well, back in the day when me and Stripey were in Kingston Falls, Stripey was playing poker with a group of Gremlins and I was watching. Anyway, whilst Stripey was playing I noticed that one of the Gremlins was cheating so I immediately told Stripey and... Let's just say that he was never seen again." Greta explained, after finishing her sentence, she gave a big smirk to the 4 Gremlins behind her.
Mohawk's jaw dropped as he turned to Stripe. "You mean you-
"Yep." Stripe replied, as he got his gun out and pumped it up. "I killed him."
At this, the 4 Gremlins actually got scared out there wits and gulped as they looked at the gun Stripe was holding.
Greta's smirk grew wider. "And, let me remind you guys that, it was me who found the cheater and..." She then grabbed one of the Gremlin's faces and scrunched it up with her hand. "I have my ways of interrogation. So Bob, did you cheat? DID YOU?"
The Gremlin, known as 'Bob' gulped before shouting: "FINE! IT WAS ME! IT WAS ME ALL ALONG! I CHEATED! BUT PLEASE DON'T HURT ME!" He begged, before getting up, running to Stripe's feet and was praying on his knees.
Stripe's only response was to pump his gun up even more whilst smirking down at the Gremlin before him. "Sorry Bob, but your dead!" He yelled before grabbing the Gremlin, putting the gun to his head and shooting him, right through his brain.
Mohawk's jaw dropped once again as Bob's blood flew like a rocket through the air before landing with a splat on the ground. Stripe smirked as blood splattered against him, he was used to the feeling, he didn't have to go through it again, he spotted this and immediately wiped it off with his hands, not caring if anyone saw.
Greta just kept smiling; she loved it when she was enjoying herself with her 'Stripey', she didn't even care if killing was one of his motives, as long as Stripe was in her arms and happy, it was all that mattered to her.
Stripe blew the smoke off the end of his pistol and turned to the 3 Gremlins left, who were shaking uncontrollably after what just happened. "You three! Throw Bob's body out of the nearest window here, I don't care where the hell it goes, as long as it's out of here. Now go on! GET IT OUT OF HERE BEFORE I KILL YOU THREE AS WELL!" Stripe yelled, before pulling his trigger and shooting the ceiling above them.
Immediately, the three Gremlins got out of their chairs at the speed of light and picked up Bob's body and before you could say anything more, they scuttled off to their duties.
Mohawk watched the Gremlins scuttle off before turning to Stripe with a speechless expression.
"Stripe, you really surprise me sometimes." Mohawk said, as he stared at Stripe with nothing but surprise.
Stripe only messed Mohawk's hair up in response. "Heh, you're just going to have to get used to it Mohawk." Stripe said, before walking off in a random direction.
Mohawk only huffed to himself as he slowly began fixing his hair.
"STRIPEY WAIT!" Greta called out, as she ran after Stripe and grabbed his arm.
Stripe sighed as he turned to look at Greta. "What is it now Greta?" He asked frustratingly.
Greta only smiled seductively. "Stripe... um... can we talk in private, there's something I gotta tell you."
Stripe shrugged. "Sure. I ain't got anything better to do anyway." He then crosses his arms as Greta removed hers and pulled an angry expression. "But this better be quick!"
Greta smirked in delight at Stripe before grabbing his nearest wrist and dragged him along with her. "Oh this will be better than quick Stripey. I promise." Greta cooed, as she dragged Stripe along with her.
Stripe could have sworn that he had heard the tiniest giggle from her mouth.
"There! That's the 50th castle Gizmo!" Angela said excitedly, as she pulled the bucket off their final masterpiece.
"Wow! They sure are great Angela!" Gizmo replied.
Angela only nodded before putting her sunglasses on and going back to her beach towel. "I'm gonna relax now Giz." Angela said, before yawning and slowly lying back on her towel.
Gizmo, now bored, looked around the beach for something to do before immediately spotting something that catched his eye; he smiled joyfully as he read the sign. It read:
Free surfboards for anyone who wants to try surfing
Ages: 13+
Gizmo immediately stood up as he kept his eyes pinned on the surf sign ahead of him curiosity got the better of the little Mogwai, for he started to walk over to the surfboards, Gizmo had seen many surfboarders on the TV and had always wanted to try it out well, today was the day that it was going to happen. Being the daredevil that he was, Gizmo made his way down by running across the sand, making Angela bounce up from her sunbathe.
"GIZMO! GIZMO GET BACK HERE!" Angela called out, as she watched Gizmo run along. She tried again but Gizmo only kept on going, she knew now that calling out to him was useless. "CRAP! I GOTTA FIND BILLY AND KATE BEFORE GIZMO KILLS HIMSELF!" Angela said to herself and before you could say 'Bananas' Angela ran off to the food stall, not stopping even for a second, she wasn't just going to let Gizmo die of his own hands, no matter what.
"GRETA! FOR GOD SAKES! WHERE THE HELL ARE WE GOING!" Stripe shouted, as he ran alongside Greta, trying his best to keep up with her and the grip she had on his wrist.
"Don't worry Stripey, were almost there, I promise!" Greta replied, as she kept on running.
Finally, they both stopped at where they were, the furthest they could both get was the darkest part of the loft, which was the most private part there.
"Alright Greta, spill the beans, what's made you drag me all the way out here?" Stripe questioned, whilst putting his hands on his hips.
Greta gulped before turning away from him, after all these years she was going to do it, she was going to confess to Stripe how she really felt about him. "Isn't it obvious Stripey? After all those times that I tried to get your attention, those times we had together and even the time when I thought you were dead, I grieved for you Stripe, I really did..."
Stripe widened his eyes in confusion, why was she mentioning all that? Stripe was nothing but confused as he stared at Greta, her back turned to him as she looked up at the attic ceiling, he heard her whimper a little as he stared at her, with renewed confidence; he took a step towards her. "What do you mean Greta?" He asked, eyes full of curiosity as he stared on at her.
Greta slowly turned around, Stripe looked at her eyes, they were slightly blood shot from crying, crying for his love, Stripe watched her as a tear ran downwards from her face and hit the floor, he could see the stains in the floor as he stared at Greta, she looked like she was in a right state but it didn't stop her from carrying on. "I...I...I love you Stripe." She whispered, her tears still lingering on her Gremlin face.
"You what?" Stripe yelled.
Greta only kept her eyes pinned on him. "I love you Stripe..." She paused. "Oh God... I haven't felt this way about anyone... not even with all the men that I used to flirt with, you're worth ten of them." She rubbed her eyes, tears dissolving on her claws as she rubbed them out. "After all we've been through, shooting that Gremlin down in the bar, trying to get rid of Gizmo, the theatre explosion." She rubbed her eyes once more before finally letting all her tears escape from there domain, as she looked at Stripe, who was beyond shocked as he stared at Greta, listening to every word with his Gremlin ears. "I had this feeling at the pit of my stomach, yet, it only came when I was with you, it was beautiful and as I wept your death, it came back but more pained it was then, that I realised, what love really meant... the only reason I flirted with others was to get over you... But I never did... I couldn't stand knowing that you were dead... now you're back, and... OH STRIPEY!"
Before Stripe could do anything, Greta ran straight into his arms, hugging his scaly Gremlin body against her and never letting go, she wanted her 'Stripey' where she dreamed of having him, in her arms.
"OH STRIPE, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND HAVING YOU BACK IN MY LIFE, IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL FEELING!" Greta cried, as she squeezed Stripe's body tight against her. "BUT I'M JUST SCARED THAT YOU'D REJECT ME, I'M SCARED THAT YOU HATE ME FOR BEING SUCH AN OBSESSIVE STALKER TO YOU ALL THESE YEARS!" Greta screamed, as she buried her head on Stripe's body, letting her river load of tears fall down his chest.
Stripe only sighed as looked down at Greta, she had been a BIG stalker to him since they met, even when he had reluctantly let her sit next to him during his card games but, everyone needs forgiving sometimes, don't they? Pulling Greta's face off his shoulder, he looked straight into her big lilac eyes, they looked hurt and demoralised as he stared into them but, he knew what he had to do, he had to tell her.
"You don't have to worry about rejection Greta, really!" Stripe comforted, as he held her broken Gremlin face with one of his hands, slowly moving his hand round to her cheek.
Greta sniffled. "R-R-Really?" She cried.
Stripe gave her a devilish smirk. "Yeah. Cause I got something to say to you too."
"W-What is it?" Greta asked.
"Well... to put it simple..." Stripe paused, as he rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I love you too."
Greta's face lit up instantly. "Rea-MMMMRGH!"
Before Greta could say more, Stripe flew forward at her, pressing his lips against hers, he could feel her tongue as he ventured inside her mouth, pushing the kiss deeper, tasting all the overused lipstick on the tip of his tongue. Wanting the kiss to be even deeper, he wrapped his arms round Greta's waist, pulling her towards him, the rag in Greta's hair soon fell down, making all her hair fall out towards them, Stripe felt Greta's heartbeat against his as he ran his claws through Greta's green, curly hair. Greta then started to walk forward, pushing Stripe up against the wall behind them, for a moment all they did was kiss until Stripe broke the kiss by grabbing Greta's waist, and spinning her round to wall where he once was. He leaned forward to her ear, cackling as he whispered: "Ah ah ah, Stripey's in command now."
Greta only giggled before replying: "I'll agree to that."
Stripe then pulled back, as he grabbed a dusty old blanket from the corner.
"So, are we official now?" Greta asked, as she watched Stripe drag the blanket over.
Stripe gave her a big grin. "Yeah, were more than official baby!"
Greta only smiled at her new lover, as he got the blankets ready for them, after all these years, Stripe was now hers and hers only.
"Now what are you waiting for Greta? Let's get in there!" Stripe yelled, as he grabbed Greta's hand, pulled her over to the blankets and pushed her down on the floor before getting on top of her and covering themselves with a white blanket.
Greta could only giggle as Stripe pulled the blanket over.
Angela darted across the beach like a rollercoaster as she went looking for Billy and Kate, she had to find them and quick, Gizmo's life was in nothing but danger as she knew it.
"Come-on! Come-on! You guys have got to be round here somewhere!" Angela manically thought, as she ran on, looking for them both.
She finally spotted the young couple, they were now walking towards the cabana where they were sitting, she had to warn them about Gizmo or something bad was going to happen, like multiplication or even death.
"BILLY, KATE!" Angela shouted, as she darted after them, hoping that she could somehow catch up to them.
Billy and Kate stopped for a moment, they were sure that they heard a shriek of some sorts.
"Honey, did you hear something?" Kate asked, whilst turning to her partner in confusion.
"Yeah, I'm sure I did, it sounded a lot like Gizmo but slightly feminine." Billy replied, as they both looked round in hope to find the source of the screaming.
Angela kept panting as she finally got to both Billy and Kate, she panted for gasps of air as she held on to Kate's leg. At this, Kate knelt down to her. "Angela, are you ok? Where's Gizmo?" Kate asked, as she knelt down to Angela's level.
Angela looked up at her, freight and worry encased in her big, milk brown eyes as she practically yelled: "GIZMO'S GONE TO HAVE A GO AT SURFBOARDING!"
Kate gasped in shock, whilst Billy began frantically looking round for the surfboards.
"HE'S WHAT!" Billy screamed, as he looked round for any signs of Gizmo.
"Angela, what happened?" Kate questioned, as she too looked round for Gizmo.
"Well, we had just finished building like, 50 sand castles and I went back to lie on my beach towel to have a rest when I saw Gizmo running down to the surfboards, I tried calling out to him but he just kept on running." Angela explained. "It's all my fault; I should have stopped him instead of just sitting there! Gizmo's going to get killed cause of me!" Angela screamed, whilst now trying to wipe out her bubbling tears.
"Don't worry Angela, that is not going to happen, its wasn't your fault, I would of probably done the same thing besides, I kind of knew this was going to happen, Gizmo seeing it on TV and all." Kate comforted. "Was Gizmo wearing his light jacket?"
"Yeah." Angela replied.
Kate turned to look at Billy. "See Billy? Gizmo will be fine; as long as he has it in astronaut mode he'll be ok."
Billy turned to her in anger. "You don't understand Kate; even then, Gizmo can still get killed! Even if he doesn't get wet." He yelled, before resuming his search for his best friend.
Billy then spotted Gizmo, who was now going to grab a surfboard. "GIZMO!" He screamed before dropping their food, as he ran down past many tourists, not caring what he did in the process.
Kate picked up Angela in her arms as she watched Billy run across the sand, Angela gaspingly watched, widening her eyes in the process.
"Billy really cares for Gizmo, doesn't he?" Angela mentioned softly, as she looked up at Kate.
Kate only nodded. "They've been through a lot together."
"We should go down to them." Angela said, as she watched Billy at the surf stand.
Kate nodded before bending down, grabbing her bags and running down to them.
"BUT BILLY!" Gizmo whined, as Billy put the surfboard back in its place.
"No Gizmo! You're not having a go on a surfboard!" Billy yelled back. "You could have gotten yourself killed! It was just lucky that Angela came and told us what you were about to do!"
At this, Kate and Angela had gotten to them both.
"Everything alright Billy?" Kate asked, as she looked over at both him and Gizmo.
"Everything's fine Kate, we weren't too late, come-on guys, let's go home besides," Billy turned to Gizmo. "I can't risk you running off again."
Billy then picked Gizmo up in his arms and carried him away from the surf stands.
When they all had their seat belts on in the car, Gizmo turned to Angela with an annoyed look on his face.
"Why did you do that?" Gizmo yelled, agitated that one of his dreams was now disintegrated.
"Do what?" Angela asked, confused to what he meant.
"Telling Billy and Kate about me having a go at surfing." Gizmo replied. "That was one of my dreams as well!"
"I'm sorry!" Angela shouted, as she looked straight at Gizmo, trying not to let her tears fall. "I was just looking out for you; you could have gotten yourself killed. Is that so... wrong?"
Gizmo was about to protest, but he knew she was right, what he did was definitely out of the question, especially for someone like himself. "No... It ain't wrong... you actually saved my life... thanks."
"It's ok. Your such a dare devil Gizmo." Angela cooed, before giggling to herself.
When Gizmo heard her giggle, he felt himself going red; he looked through the car windscreen to see that he was in fact blushing and that made him go even redder.
Billy and Kate both smiled as they saw what was happening in the back seats behind them.
Kate smiled at Billy. "Is it me or do you think that sparks are flying between these two?" Kate whispered, as she and Billy turned round at the front.
Billy shrugged. "I don't know Kate, but whatever happens, I just want Gizmo to be happy." He whispered, as he smiled at fiancée.
Kate only smiled back as she kissed her fiancée's cheek. And with that, the Peltzer couple had left the beach; the two Mogwai with them at their sides.
"THERE! That's the last ingredient needed for this potion!" Brain yelled in delight, as he grabbed his mixing bowl and mixed the ingredients together with his spoon. "This strength potion is going to be perfect, with this, I can beat both Stripe and Gizmo at their own games, in a very uncivil manner but trust me, it's needed."
Brain smiled down at his concoction before him, it was now a bright pink mush due to all the mixing and red smoke was now whooshing out the bowl, as it bubbled and sizzled with all its magic, it was like cooking the Sunday roast, Brain sniffed the aroma as the smoke radiated through the air and even then, he felt like he was getting stronger, the Einstein Gremlin sat down at the nearest wall and crossed his legs, his concoction in his lap as he carried on mixing, not suspecting anyone there.
In the darkness of the loft, a figure stood, watching Brain as he joyfully carried on mixing his concoction, standing next to the figure, more like on all fours was Daffy, the crazy, googly eyed Mogwai who was panting excitedly, kind of like a dog when they get ready to chase after their balls after their thrown. But then, that was the point of the plan, it needed much dogginess for it to work.
In one wrinkly pearl skinned hand, the figure held a bright red ball which seemed to drive Daffy insane as he kept his eyes on the ball that the figure was holding in front of him, his wild ginger eyes never leaving the ball as he dribbled continuously like a dog, waiting for it to be thrown, round Daffy's neck was a leash with spikes on it which was just a dull grey, and pulling the leash back to keep Daffy in place was a grimy, white rope, which the figure held in his other hand.
"Now, now Daffy, you have to be patient besides; the idiot ain't even in his position yet." The figure said, as he gave a giant grin towards Brain.
He was sure that his plan was going to work, for Brain's actions were surely not needed, he wanted to get rid of Gizmo himself but not with the Einstein Gremlin in the way, to him, Brain was a barrier in his revenge that he needed to get rid of as soon as possible, if he ever wanted revenge for himself, therefore, he could not let Brain go along with his plan for it would be nothing but trouble on his part, especially at his small stature. Snapping out of his thoughts, he went back to staring at Brain; he then knew that now was the perfect time to attack. Leaning down to his left hand side, he slowly untied Daffy from his leash that he was on and got ready to throw the ball.
"Here we are Daffy, you ready?" The figure asked as he looked down at Daffy, placing the red ball right in front of his eyes.
Daffy only kept his eyes on the ball, panting like a dog as he stared onwards before looking up at the figure and crazily stating: "J-JUST T-T-THROW IT ALREADY, HAAAAAAAAAAA."
The figure did as he was told as he did indeed throw it, right by Brain and Daffy ran for it like a ravenous wolf. Sighing happily, the figure held the rope that once tied Daffy to his leash and smirked. "Oops..." The figure said evilly before getting the rope and just carelessly throwing it to the side. But not before looking back and muttering: "Your plans toast now Brain! Try and bounce back from that from that, HA!"
Satisfied that his mission seemed completed, the figure walked away as if nothing happened and slunk back into his shadows.
Brain looked down at the ball beside him and picked it up out of confusion. "Hmmmm... that's funny, who would be uncivilised enough to leave a-
"THAT'S MYYYEEE BALL!" Daffy screamed crazily, as he ran towards Brain, a mad glint in his ginger eyes.
Brain widened his eyes at the Mogwai as he continued to run crazily for his ball, he then instantly knew where it was going and put his hands out in hopes it would stop Daffy from running.
"DAFFY PLEASE! THAT'S UNCIVILISED! STOP RIGHT THERE THIS INSTANT!" Brain shouted, as Daffy came running towards him.
But Daffy didn't stop, in fact, he kept running, the only thing on his mind was his ball, and he wanted it back. Spotting the ball in Brain's hand, he dove forward, jumping on Brain and pushing him right to the ground, the impact of it also made Brain's once goodly made potion spill all over the ground, it now looked like nothing but a pink splat as slowly rotted against the wood, making it damp as a wet towel.
"MY BALL!" Daffy yelled cheerfully as he held his ball up in the air with a cheeky grin on his face.
"Yes Daffy. Very good. Now can you please get off me!" Brain yelled, as he waited for Daffy to get off his back.
Daffy looked down at him. "Oh, sorry about that Brain." He apologised, as he jumped down from Brain's back, he then remembered something that the figure told him to give to Brain after he did his orders, he pulled out a scrunched up piece of paper and passed it to Brain. "Oh, this is for you Brain." Daffy said, as he passed Brain the piece of paper before giddily running off, bouncing his ball in the process.
Brain groggily sat up as he pushed his glasses back up to his eyes before reaching up to his head, after what happened just, it gave him a right headache, he slowly rubbed his aching head before looking round at his surroundings, he then noticed that the concoction, that he once held was now splattered up against the wall, the bowl spilling out its contents like a tunnel from a river.
"Pardon my uncivilness but BLOODY HELL! I SPENT 2 HOURS, 2 BLOODY HOURS PUTTING THAT TOGETHER, NOW LOOK AT IT!" Brain screamed, as he motioned to the pink splat up the wall. "Karm down Brain, karm down, don't turn like the others, there so unruly, your better than them more... civilised." Brain said to himself as he took deep breaths, trying to karm himself down.
He then looked at the slightly scrunched piece of paper that Daffy had given him. He sighed. He might as well see what it held, hadn't he? He looked down at the paper, scanning the words which were written down as he read on; he widened his eyes, who knew it ay? The note read:
I'm watching you so tread carefully, pull one more plan to get rid of Stripe and you'll have more than Daffy up your ass.
Brain growled to himself before simply scrunching up the note and tossed it aside. "So that assault was not an accident huh? Lucky I came prepared." Brain thought to himself, as he pulled out a large bottle which contained bright pink liquid, exactly the same as the potion that he was in the process of making. Brain looked straight at the computer screen, smirking at the viewer in the process.
"Psssst! You there!" Brain whispered. "The viewer reading this! Yes you! My question to you is this: Can you keep a secret? You can't tell anyone! Not even a close friend cause if you do, it will cause nothing but trouble here for me. So can you do that?" Brain paused for a moment, whilst looking down at his large bottle in front of him. "Of course you can, I trust you from my wits, see this bottle in my hand? Well, this bottle is actually my potion that I was mixing earlier, my strength potion anyway, before today I figured that maybe someone had seen what I was doing so last night I kind of made a midnight potion, trying not to wake anyone up in the process, so if that mystery Gremlin thought that they had won, they better think again cause, I was one step ahead of them!" Brain explained, as he put his potion back into his pocket and closed it up.
He then started chuckling to himself, he loved the fact that he had managed to outwit this mystery Gremlin at their own game I mean, he was the smartest Gremlin ever, wasn't he? Of course he was! With a name like Brain anyone would be smart, Brain only grinned to himself as he walked through the loft, pushing past many Gremlins and plotting about when to make his next move.
Gizmo yawned and stretched as he woke up from his 2 hour nap that he had in Billy and Kate's room. Putting his hands on the sheets, Gizmo slowly pushed himself up from the pillows before glancing at the clock on the wall ahead of him which read 5:35pm. Gizmo frowned and rubbed his belly, after all that sleep it was time for food. But there was one problem, Billy and Kate had grounded him for going off to the surfboard stand therefore, he couldn't come down for his dinner until 7pm which seemed like eternity, for the cute little Mogwai was practically starving. Tired and bored, Gizmo leaned over to the small cabinet beside his side of the bed and pulled the door knob on it. Out of random curiosity and boredom, Gizmo peeped in to see what was inside the drawer.
As he looked inside, he saw things like photos, keys, plans for the Clamp centre building, log books, diary's and many other things that didn't really interest Gizmo that much. He then decided to close the drawer and look in the one down from it and when he did, he smiled in glee cause inside, was a ginormus bag of potato chips, which were nearly the same size as Gizmo himself, along with some black shades, they seemed to wink at him as the light bounced off the dark, fibre optic glass. Gizmo smiled as he leaned down to grab the potato chips and the shades, this would definitely cleanse his boredom for sure.
"Potato chips! Oh boy!" Gizmo cheered as he pulled them towards him. "I hope it's a flavour that I like." The Mogwai muttered, as he took a good look at the packet in front of him. Fortunately, for Gizmo, it was a flavour that he loved which was cheese and onion. He then turned to look at the ebony, black shades that he had found, Billy had been telling Gizmo about his memories of being a teenager and Gizmo was sure that at one point he mentioned shades that looked just like that yet, Gizmo felt that they were more for him, like he would need them one day to help him with something. Upon feeling that way, Gizmo decided to keep them for himself for a bit.
"I'm sure Billy won't mind..." Gizmo thought, as he lay back against the pillow with the bag of potato chips. As he lay back against the pillow however, he felt weird, like there was something right under it. Gizmo immediately checked and saw a TV remote and lucky for him, there was a TV, right in front of him. The Mogwai only gasped as he took the TV remote from under the pillow and pointed it straight at the TV, switching it on and started to go through the channels, trying to find something decent to watch, he went through many things such as Horror Films, Sci-Fi shows, Game shows, Cartoons, Music channels, Beauty Pageants and much more but nothing seemed that interesting to Gizmo.
After another 5 minutes of senseless flicking through channels, Gizmo finally found something that catched his eye, he had stopped on a film called 'Terminator 2.' The film had not long just started, only about 15-20 minutes gone but, Gizmo didn't really care, it was the scene in front of him that drawn him to the TV.
It was set at an American-like diner where it showed a white, pearl skinned man stepping out the entrance, his hard, black boots thumping down the steps as he stood coolly at the entrance, taking in the surroundings around him, he was dressed in nothing but black, wearing a tight leather jacket and a plain black T-Shirt as he looked around with a nonchalant expression with the song 'Bad to the Bone.' Playing in the background.
Gizmo widened his eyes at the man on the screen as he kept his eyes pinned on the TV, not taking his eyes off it for a second, he liked this film already.
The man on the screen then slowly walked to a motorcycle and jumped on, starting up the engine to it as he was making his way out of the diner until... BANG! A gunshot stopped him from doing so, holding the gun was an old-ish man who looked like he was in his middle 50's, he pointed the gun at the man on the motorcycle before saying: "Can't let you take the man's wheels son, Now get off before you get down."
Gizmo crawled forward towards the screen, desperate to see what would happen next. "Wow... this film really is good... I hope that guy ain't too rough on the old timer." Gizmo thought,as he watched the younger man slowly turn round on the motorcycle at the older man behind him.
With a nonchalant expression, the younger man pushed the pedal on the bike aside and slowly got off the motorcycle, keeping his eyes pinned on the older guy in front of him, he kept his cool as he strided up to the older man, taking about 3 steps before standing completely still, his eyes holding no life or expression in them what-so-ever as he stared at the older man in front of him. The song 'Bad to the Bone.' still playing. Slowly, he advanced on the old timer, scaring him with an awkward silence until he finally moved, grabbing the gun right out of his hands.
"Oh God... don't kill him!" Gizmo thought, as he grabbed the remote, ready to change the channel if any blood flung out of the older man's body.
But he didn't shoot the older man in fact, the younger man held the gun in his right arm whilst reaching for the older man's shades and putting them over his eyes, making him look even more like a bad biker. "Shades! COOL! And a Motorcycle, I've always wanted to try one of those! This film is EPIC!" Gizmo thought again, as he watched the scene unfold.
The younger man then strode back to the motorcycle before simply getting on and driving off and away from the diner and into the midnight streets. As the scene was playing, Gizmo quickly put his shades on, sat on the edge of the bed and held his arms straight out, his hands balling into fists, like he was holding on to the handles of the bike and everytime the Terminator made a turn, so did he. So that was basically how Gizmo spent the rest of the night, watching Terminator 2 whilst eating his bag of Potato chips when needed and as Gizmo watched the Terminator in action, he smiled, wishing that he, one day could try out a motorcycle and be just like the Terminator. A Hero.
