Chapter 18: Knowing and Moving
Author's Note:
Hey! I'm back guys after a million years of waiting I'm finally back. I guess you might wonder (or you probably know) why Xander are you that active as Chrome? Well, you know me I'm kinda lazy these days and that I have Journalism training every Friday and Saturday. If it wasn't for Chrome shouting at my fat lazy ass maybe I would still be sitting on the couch playing COC, or not hahaha! Well anyways, I'm back is what matters so let's get this show on the road!
Narrator's Perspective:
As days go by after that event, things went on as usual, doing every day stuff and jobs, having fun until …
?: (waving his hand) Hey guys!
Motor: (looks back) What?! Case what are you doing here?
Case: Well, life was getting boring living alone with Cath so we decided to move here.
Andr: Along with Snowy? (looking behind Case to see Snowy peeping from behind)
Case: Uhh … yeah, she went to live with us for some time and is helping me take care of Cath, although sometimes both of them are a hand full.
Motor: So in short, you're gonna live here with us from now on.
Case: Yup! That's the case. Oh! By the way where are the others?
Andr: Umm … let's see, Xander and Cupa are probably still sleeping while Chrome and Stella went to buy some stuff at the trading center in town, they should arrive soon.
Motor: (looks around then above) It's kinda hot out here, let's go inside. Andr will you please go ahead and prepare some tea.
Andr: (smiles) Sure thing! (teleports away)
Motor: (starts walking to his house) C'mon! Follow me inside.
Inside Motor's House …
Andr: (humming while preparing tea)
Motor: (sits down) Ahh … nothing like a nice warm couch and cup of tea, don't you agree?
Case: Yeah, it is nice.
Motor: By the way Snowy, how are you doing lately?
Snowy: (smiles) I'm feeling good thank you! Why?
Motor: Nothing, it just reminded me of what happened a few days ago. Are you sure you're all alright?
Case: Don't worry; we're all fine thanks to all of you.
Andr: (serving tea) Here you go Motor.
Motor: Thanks Andr! (sips some tea) Ahh … Andr you always make great teas.
Andr: (giggles) Thank you! (serves some to the others)
Case: Do you always live like this?
Motor: Pretty much, now when will you build your house?
Case: Today.
Motor: Today?
Case: Yes, today.
Motor: Today? But we still need the materials.
Snowy: We have the materials already no need to worry, it's just spruce wood and planks.
Motor: I see … so who thought of Spruce wood?
Cath: (raises hand) I did!
Motor: Why?
Cath: Because we used to live in a spruce forest .
Motor: I see, well anyways the others will be here soon.
As they chatted time passed by so quickly and as they talked Xander and others entered Motor's house …
Xander: Hey there! My little man.
Motor: Shut it! Don't you see our visitors?
Xander: I did, so Case what brought you here?
Case: I wanted to live here with you guys, if it's okay with you?
Xander: Permission granted.
Chrome: (bonks Xander on the head) Who told you to grant his requests?!
Xander: (rubs his head) Oww! What? Is it wrong to accept him?
Chrome: No, I just wanted to hit you for acting like some kind of gate keeper.
Cupa: (cat face) So it seems that Snowy is now living with Case …
Stella: (pops out from behind) I smell something going on.
Snowy: (blushing) What?! There's nothing going between us, it's just that his lonely so I accompany him with his sister and …
Cath: (poker face) They hold hands sometimes.
Snowy: (blushing deeply) Cath! Why'd you say that?
Cath: You told to only tell this secret to people I trust, and I trust them so I told them.
Snowy: But that doesn't mean you'll immediately say it without my permission!
Cath: Well anyways they hold hands sometimes …
Cupa: (grins) So there is something going on.
Stella: (pats Snowy on the back) Good job! I know you could do it.
Snowy: (looks at Cupa and Stella) What are you talking about?!
Xander: Ummm … when did it reach this topic?
Motor: I feel like this is going to be a noisier place.
Chrome: I second that.
Motor: Anyways they're gonna build a house here today using spruce wood, so give us a hand?
Xander: Sure! Why not?
Xander's Perspective:
Everyone then went outside the house to start building Case's house. We started from 9am to 5pm and was able to finish it within the time span. Case's house was two stories high, its pillars were made out spruce logs and the walls we're all spruce wood even the door was spruce. It looked cozy inside w/ the fireplace put in, but everything was done all they needed to do is buy furniture and fix things up inside. After building, Case, Snowy and Cath went in already and said thank you to us for helping them. It was getting dark outside so we decided to go home and let the night pass. As I entered the house along w/ Cupa, I started to make dinner for the both of us, I took the cook book once more and scanned it for a recipe, after a while I found one and it was easy "Chicken Curry" I also chose this because Cupa wants something hot and spicy for tonight so I decided to prepare it while Cupa went upstairs to take a bath …
Xander: Okay, let's see now first I'll need some chicken, then chili and …
Cupa: (slides down the stairs flies into the air) Xander! Catch me!
Xander: (turns around, eyes widen and catches Cupa) *sigh* for the last time Cupa don't jump on me like that, you or I might get hurt!
Cupa: I just wanted you to carry me.
Xander: (puts her down) You could have just said it.
Cupa: I wanted you to feel some excitement.
Xander: You're sometimes so childish Cupa, but that's the last time you do that the next time you do that you're gonna receive a punishment.
Cupa: (sly look) Oh, and what will be the punishment? A spank on the butt? It seems your fetishes are getting to you, sweetie.
Xander: (looks away and blushes) Whatever comes to mind! I'll stop there and continue cooking.
Cupa: (grins) Whatever comes to mind? It seems like you might do something weird to me, Xander.
Xander: *sigh* you know what Cupa it'll be best if you just sat on the table and kept quiet.
Cupa: (crosses arms) Hmph! Meanie.
Xander: Now be a good girl and wait for you meal quietly, okay?
Cupa: (puffs her cheeks) Stop treating me like a child!
Xander: hehehehe!
Snowy's Perspective:
As I watch from the window I can completely see Xander and Cupa having having fun while the Chrome and Stella we're reading books and Motor and Andr is inside their lab doing experiments. *sigh* I wish we could be like them …
Case: (stare's at Snowy) Umm … Snowy? You okay?
Snowy: (surprised) Oh! Don't worry I'm fine.
Cath: C'mon Snowy sit here with me! Case already cooked us food.
Snowy: (going towards the table and sits) Sure, thank you Cath so what did Case cook?
Cath: It's a family recipe! (looks down) or so it used to be.
Snowy: (pats Cath's head) Why the sad look?
Cath: Well we used to live in a village …
Case: Cath! Don't tell her.
Cath: But why? We could trust her, right?
Case: Well I guess … we could …
Snowy: (tilts her head sideways) Excuse me?
Case: *sigh* Well you see, Cath and I used to live in a village, a ninja village hidden deep in the forest. Cath and I lived with our Mother and Father but one day my Father killed a fellow ninja, and we follow a rule in our village: "Those who kill a fellow ninja shall be punished and his/her family will be exiled from the village forever."
Snowy: (sad face) That's sounds so tragic.
Case: And that's not all, when we lived out in the woods our Mother got sick and died, we could've gotten some medicine from the village but we were banned to even set foot in it. So in the end only Cath and I was left of our family.
Snowy: I'm sad to hear that, so sorry about asking …
Case: (smiles) Don't worry I'm glad I told you, now I feel more relieved.
Cath: (crying) Well I don't! Waaaahhhh! I miss Father and Mother!
Snowy: (panicking) Uhh … umm … Case what should I do?!
Case: Just hug her for a while and stroke her hair, don't worry she becomes like that when she is remembered of our parents. (tears drop) Though … *sniff* I kind of missed them too …
Snowy: (smiles) Aww … does Case want a hug too?
Case: (wipes tears off) Nope! *sniffle* I'm perfectly fine, no need to hug me.
Snowy: Don't be shy Case I'm here for the both of you.
Cath: (wipes tears off) Brother was crying!
Case: No, I did not cry.
Cath: Haha! You cried, you cried, you …
Snowy: Huh? What's the matter Cath?
As I looked at Cath her eyes began to turn white and her hair was standing up, a faint light is coming out of her body, I was speechless I didn't know what to do I looked at Case and he had a serious face on and he said …
Case: It's happening.
Snowy: (panicking) What's happening?!
Case: I didn't tell you this but Cath … has the power to see the future.
Snowy: What?! That's amazing and surprising at the same time.
Case: I know, but keep quiet for now so we can hear what she has to say.
Cath: In a month … a grand ceremony … will happen … all royalties shall come … and celebrate a … … …
After what Cath said, her eyes returned to normal, her hair went down and the glow disappeared. From what I heard; what ceremony will happen? And why is it so grand? I looked at Case and he looked at me and said …
Case: (scratches the back of his head) Well she said a ceremony was gonna happen within a month, but what could it be?
Snowy: (puzzled look) Yeah! What could it be?
Cath: *yawn* (rubs her eyes) What happened?
Case: You fell asleep, but there's nothing to worry about. Now, let's eat!
Snowy: You said it! I'm starving.
Cath: Yay! Eating time! Eating time!
Narrator's Perspecive:
Case and the other's has joined the group, Cath is an oracle and what is the ceremony that she predicted?
