Marmoreal Paradise

Tarrant walked into his home again, and sat down to have some tea.

But before he could do anything, his doorbell rang.

Tarrant groaned, and stood up to open the door.

The door swung open, revealing a small troupe of men in various chess-piece-like suits of armor.

Tarrant frowned, and said in a light Scottish brogue, "What're ya doin' here?"

One of the men (the Bishop) stepped forward, and took off his helmet, revealing a pale face with brilliant blue eyes.

Bishop said, "Tarrant, we considered your former experience with the White Queen's royal guard, and decided you would be the best option for this latest mission."

Tarrant said, a little suspicious, "Why would you need me?"

Bishop walked past Tarrant into the apartment, saying, "We need an agent for an undercover mission to Marmoreal Paradise, and considering your extended experience with every single special force in the White Queen's force, you were are best option."

Tarrant said, "But don't you have to win one of those tickets?"

Bishop waved his hand, and said, "Taken care of."

At that same moment, a letter came shooting into his mail slot.

Tarrant picked it up, and it opened automatically, saying, "You're the winner of two tickets to Marmoreal Paradise!"

Bishop smiled, and said, "Alright, that's all settled, you'll leave tomorrow with another one of our agents!"

Tarrant frowned, and was about to say something when the doorbell rang again.

Tarrant looked through the peephole, and saw Ali standing outside the door.

He stood in front of the door, and hurriedly made up a lie.

He started shoving the members of the guard into the refrigerator.

Bishop yelled, "Who's that?"

Tarrant said, "That's my... my girlfriend! And she knows that the army wasn't very nice to me before, and if she sees you here, she'll freak! You all have to hide!"

He shoved them all into the large refrigerator, and slammed the door.

He ran over to the door, and opened it quickly.

Ali smiled, and ran inside.

She spun around, and said, "Y-You live here! T-Tarrant lives here!"

Tarrant smiled, and said, "Yes, this is my home."

Ali smiled, and pulled Hamish in from the hall.

Tarrant frowned, and said, "What are you doing here?"

Hamish said, "The current holder of the stones is visiting Marmoreal Paradise for a guest appearance! You have to go there with Ali, so she can get the stones, and the shards along with them!"

Tarrant smiled, and said, "Okay, I'll go."

Ali said firmly, "We g-get to fly together!"

Tarrant smiled, then heard a large noise in the hallway.

Ali frowned, and said, "They're looking for you."

Tarrant frowned, and said, "Can they find us?"

Ali smiled, and said, "I t-took care of it."

Tarrant looked at the cameras, and saw that Ali had changed the identification on his door.

He smiled, and said, "You changed my door."

Ali laughed, and said, "Yes, I changed the tags!"

But they knocked on his door, and Tarrant said, "Quick you guys have got to hide."

He steered Ali into the shower, and pulled the curtain over to hide her, then shoved Hamish into a large pile of hats and building materials.

A loud voice rang through his room, "Place your hands on the yellow circles."

Tarrant ran forward to his door, and placed his hands on the designated circles on the wall.

A quick scan ran over his fingertips, and the voice said, "Thank you for your cooperation."

Tarrant ran over to the shower, and opened the curtain.

Ali was standing inside, soaking wet.

Tarrant said, "Oh, sorry, I forgot about the Autowash."

He carefully led her out of the small space, and handed her a towel to dry herself with.

She stuttered, "A-Autowash."

Tarrant said, "Yeah, Autowash."

Hamish burst from his pile, and said, "Did you have to shove me right into the pile with half a frickin' dozen hatpins!"

Ali said from the other side of the room in her irritated voice, "Stop complaining!"

A thought occurred to Tarrant, and he opened the refrigerator.

The members of the guard stood inside, frozen stiff.

Tarrant nodded, and said, "I take the job."

Ali cheered, "Yay! Tarrant's coming with me!"

She hugged him around the waist, and said, "My best friend is coming with me."

Tarrant smiled, and said, "Yeah, I'm coming with you."
