He grabs her wrist and pulls her towards the Club. They run for the Door, but are stopped by Two huge bodyguards."No sirree, You guys are too young."
"But we need to find-"
"Boys, Let them through."
A petite lady with her pink hair in a bun, walks to the Duo and grabs their wrist.
Before Pollyanna can protest about how she grabbed Lucas she whispered into
their ears "Just go with it!"
"Um sure Violet"
She pulls them in with a giggle
"Ugh! I hate all this girly crap."
"Then,Violet Why'd you help us?"
"Lucas, It's me, Kumatora"
"Oh! Kuma!"
He says in realization "Wait you're the girl i met when i was…Yeah, We never officially met. Name's Pollyanna" She sticks out her (robotic) hand.
"What happened to you?"
"Long story" Lucas said,rubbing his arm to show his insecurity.
Don't stand there, Comfort him, Pollyanna jumps at the voice it was the more masculine male voice. Pollyanna does as told reminding him that everything's gonna be fine.
He nods and looks forward, seeing that the DCMC were about to play.
"Shall we?" He says pointing to the people entering the stage room.
"We shall!" Pollyanna says, giggling
Kumatora rolled her eyes and followed them.
"Oof!"
A crowd of people who have either forgotten something or had to leave trampled Lucas. "Oh! Are you alright?" The two girls asked. He looked up at his friends, He nods and they walk inside. "Okay! Today we play a song, We call it King P's theme"
They begin to play. Pollyanna listens while Lucas looks at the Bass player.
He does LOOK like Duster, but he had an Afro.
Porky… I tried my friend.
"Who's there?!" She whisper-shouts. Then she's shushed. She taps Lucas on the Shoulder. "We need to talk."
They step out while Kumatora keeps her Facade up.
"What?" Lucas asks
"Are you messing with me,or am I going insane?"
"Why would you say that?"
"I hear voices. They tell me to comfort you or just some really vague line of dialogue!
I think I'm going crazy."
Don't fear us, We are here to Help you.
"Okay, I'll trust you."
Lucas looked at her with confusion, but not wanting to upset her, He reminds her of the task at hand.
She nods and they re-enter, to see Lucky limp off.
"He limps like him." Lucas says.
They all walk up and pull at the door.
"Locked." Kumatora states
"Then Let's look for a different means of entering" Lucas says
The girls nod and they look around.
'Oh look Vent!"
Lucas points to a vent.
"Okay, how do we get up there, Short stack?" Kumatora asks.
Pollyanna walks up to the Vent and opens her canon
"Duck!" She warns
She blasts the Vent wide open to reveal the Attic.
"Okay Robi how do we get UP there."
Sneering at the offensive nickname, She taps a few buttons on her canon.
Her hand falls in and a claw pops out. She twirls the claw and shoots it up.
"Satisfied?"
"Very."
Why did I save her again?
Cause your a good kid.
Huh, I can speak to you?
Telepathically Yes, but Don't talk out loud. You kinda freaked the boy out.
His name is Lucas.
Yeah, the boy's name is Lucas.
"Hold on guys."
She pulls herself up and sends it back down.
"Grab hold!" she calls.
They do so and now they're in the attic.
"Hey look a few mice! Maybe they can help us."
Lucas kneels down next to the mice.
"Hi. I'm Lucas."
"Hello Lucas! How can we the Three Seeing Mice help you?"
"Can you lead us through here? It's kinda dusty."
"Of course! Follow us three!"
"Thank you!"
Pollyanna is awestruck and Kumatora is standing there looking smug.
"Good Job." She says
"Y-you can talk to animals?!"
Lucas nods.
"We've been wanting to do that for years! This is awesome!" She gives him an affectionate hair tousle.
"Come Humans, Follow now, follow the Three Seeing Mice!"
"They said… Let's go."
The girls nod and follow the youngest.
"So Robi What PSI do you know?" Kumatora asks
"One, Stop calling me that, I take offense to that, and I don't even know any."
Sorry Sorry Sorry.
It's alright. I probably don't even need it.
"Oh Well you can't tell me what to do, Robi"
Pollyanna growls at Kumatora.
"Call me that one. more. time."
"Robi!"
Pollyanna wants to lunge at her and pull her hair or just something to make her shut her smug little mouth, but before she can even step forward to yell at her a pair of blue eyes are in front of her.
"Stop fighting! Pollyanna Claus.."
He cuts himself off. Kumatora is like Claus, but older and more girl like.
He take a sharp breath. His mouth opens to speak,
Please don't fight I hate it when People I care about fight each other...
but he doesn't say anything. Tears threaten to fall onto his red face.
"Oh Lucas C'mere. We'll make up. And after we find Duster, You know what we'll do next? Eat the best omelets around and Find him, he's somewhere I know it, so no waterworks." Pollyanna says as she hugs the blonde. He nods then sits down to think.
Pollyanna walks up to Kumatora
"We have to stop. I hate it when Lucas cries, especially if I make him cry."
"Yeah, The little dude gets sad easily Doesn't he?"
"Yup. So please help us after we help Duster?"
"Fine fine I'll help your little bro."
"T-thank you." The 13 year old walks back to Lucas.
"OKay buddy we made nice, Are you okay?"
He nods and they begin to walk again.
She really cares about that kid. Maybe he really is that special? I guess.
Pollyanna sees a Bass. She looks at Lucas, who still seems a bit blue.
"Hey buddy, Check it out."
She picks the Bass up and props it up.
"Think i can play it?"
Lucas giggles and nods a 'Give it a go'
She places her finger on the strings and they swivel around her arm
"What the?!"
She tries to free her arm but the tuning points tighten every time she pulls at them
Lucas tries to set her free but the bass knocks him into a few boxes
"Hey! Don't hurt these kids!" she hits the Bass with a-
"Pk FIRE!" The Bass drops Pollyanna and charges at Kumatora.
Pollyanna shoots it in the back.
"PK SHIELD!" Lucas yells standing on his feet. The shield envelopes around
the three. Lucas hits it with his stick.
"We need to get you a more suitable weapon." Kumatora says
"Less critique and more battling!" Pollyanna snaps.
"I'm on it sheesh."
"Pk Fire!"
The Bass avoids the attack and emits an ear-splitting shriek.
"Ngh!" Lucas covers his ears. He looks for something to counter it with.
Kumatora stomps her feet as she tries to block out the noise.
He looks behind Pollyanna who has fallen backwards, covering her ears.
A drum! "Pollyanna!" He shouts.
"What do you need?!" She responds.
"Throw me that snare drum!"
"Okay!"
She risks uncovering her ears to toss Lucas the drum.
He focuses. He bangs on th drum in a pattern akin to a heartbeat. The bass stops emitting the shriek.
"Now!" They all blast at it. The bass falls to pieces. "Well that was awesome!" Kumatora says, banging the rim of her ear to stop the ringing.
"Are you okay?" Pollyanna asked Lucas, who was bruised up from the attack.
"Y-yeah. I'll be okay."
They see a vent on the ground. "Oh. Polly, right here break it down." Kumatora says.
She taps it with the rim of her boot. Pollyanna having a lot of pent up strength smashes it with her foot with all she has. They jumps into a room.
"This is my room!" Kumatora says. "You live here?" Lucas asks as Pollyanna catches him.
"Yup." She says. The older girl walks toward a drawer. She pulls out a pair of shorts, a purple t-shirt and a towel. She throws it towards Pollyanna. "You. Need to go take a shower." She says as she pulls out a pair of boots. "Are you saying I smell?" She says.
"To be completely honest,yes, yes i am." Pollyanna sniffs herself awkwardly. Her face flushes a light pink. She removes her arm. "Watch this for me,okay?" She says handing it to Lucas. He nods. She walks into the shower room.
You have outgrown your attire.
I have. At least she's generous.
The Princess is kind,just carefree.
Princess?!
Lucas and Kumatora heard her turn on the water.
"So how did she make this? Isn't she a kid?" Kumatora asks.
"I don't know. And yeah she is a kid like me."
A few minutes of silence fall until Kumatora ask
"How you two meet in the first place?"
Lucas smiles at the happy memory.
"We met when I was 4.
