Chapter 4: Twilight Town part 2
(Day 2)
As another day came by, Tommy wakes up after a bit of an uncomfortable slumber. "Man, this is nothing compared with my own bed." He said as he stretched. He gets up and walks out of his temporary room. As he walked out, he sees the Twilight gang already there. "Morning Tommy. Did you sleep okay?" Olette asked. "Other than a small back ace, yea it was alright." Tommy said as he sat on the couch. "Do you guys think we'll always be together like this?" Pence said all of a sudden. "Where did that come from?" Hayner said. "Just thinking out loud." Pence said with a shrug. "Well I know I might not be in town for long since I have to keep looking for my friends." Tommy said and continued. "But for what you said Pence, not every friend will be together forever. 'Cause I know me and my friends will one day have to go our separate ways when we get older." He said. "But then you and Kimi will spend every day with each other after that right?" Hayner said with a snicker. "Didn't we get over this already Hayner? How can one photo possibly lead to you messing with me opposite to with how Chuckie acted? " Tommy said in annoyance. "What about Chuckie?" Olette asked. "Well unlike Hayner, Chuckie was furious over seeing those initials in his garage because Kimi happens to be his step-sister." Tommy explained to them. "Wow. That is understandable." Hayner said. "Anyway How about this. We all go to the beach. Not once have we went to the beach. And I bet Tommy's friends are somewhere around there. So how about it?" He suggested but then realized no one answered. "No?" He said shocked. "Two things," Pence said. "One, wear broke from the last time. And two, we always have bad luck with going to the beach." "Well I bet Tommy has money with him, right?" Hayner said looking at Tommy hopefully, "Sorry, lost it when my town got attacked." He said regrettably. "Oh. Well then we should probably get some quick jobs then, come on." Hayner said walking out with the others following him to get jobs.
When they were heading to the job bulletin board, Hayner spots a poster on a building. "Hey guys, check this out!" he said as they all went to the poster. "Sweet! A Struggle tournament is coming in two days." Pence said exited. "What's a 'Struggle' tournament?" Tommy asked as Olette answers. "It's one of Twilight Town's finest activities for the summer. It's like when you fought Seifer yesterday." She said. "Hey how about you try it out Tommy?" Hayner suggested. "Me?" "Yea, that way no matter who wins, the fore of us split the prize. And maybe either of your friends might be watching or competing." Hayner continued with his suggestion. "Well whether if they are or not, okay I'm in." Tommy said with determination. "Great," Hayner said as he put his arm up along Tommy's. "it's a promise." And then they continued on to the job bulletin board. As they got there, they were discussing how much money they should get. "Okay, with what where going at the beach, we need at least 4800 money for the trip." Hayner said thinking it over. "Then we beater get started with the jobs." Pence said and then looked at Tommy. "How about you go first Tommy?" he suggested. "Okay." He said and started looking through the board. "Looks like I'll go with…. Poster Duty, Cargo Clime, and Junk Sweep." He declared. "You shore you can handle three jobs Tommy?" Olette said with concern. "Of course, after all we do need to earn at least 4800 money for the beach. So I got to do a lot of good work on them like when I do a lot of filmmaking." Tommy told them. "Okay, then let's get started." Hayner said as they all split up to their jobs.
After they did their jobs, they all met up at the station, all except Tommy. "Where is he? Couldn't he be done by now?" Hayner said impatiently as Olette looked straight at him "Well we didn't show him the station yesterday, he's probably trying to…" "Hey, sorry I'm late." They turn to see Tommy running over to them. "They took longer than I thought they'd be, and I had to ask for directions. And look how much I got." He said and brought out the money. "WOW grate going." Hayner said. "We could buy a watermelon with that much." Pence said. "I'll hold on to that." Olette asked politely as Tommy put the money in her pouch. "Nice work, everyone. Added to what we started with, we now have… tada 5000 money." She said holding up her pouch. "Well now that we got the money, let's go before we miss the train again." Hayner said, but just then, the same hooded figure appeared and snatched the pouch from Olette. "You again?! Give that back!" Hayner exclaimed as they ran after him. After a while, they lost sight of him. "Not again. Who is he?" Pence said as he slumped to the ground. "First that guy had photos of me and my friends, and now he took our money." Tommy said. "How about some ice cream to cheer us up? I have some leftover money just in case." Olette said showing her money. "I guess that will do. How about at the top of the station?" Pence suggested. "I'm good with that." Tommy said. "Fine." Hayner said with disappoint meant as they get there Ice cream.
At Dusk, I Will Think of You: KH 358/2 Days
Later on, Tommy and the Twilight gang were all at the top of the station having ice-cream. "What kind of Ice-cream is this?" Tommy asked them. "It's see-salt Ice cream. Have you ever heard anything about it Tommy?" Pence said taking a bite of his. "I think I herd of about something like that coming at the Java Lava." Tommy said. "The 'Java Lava'? What the heck is that?" Hayner asked. "Well, it happens to be where me and the gang usually hangout from time to time. In fact, Chuckie and Kimi's parents happen to own the shop." Tommy told them. "Wow. So that would mean that you guys go there a lot huh?" Pence said. "That's right." Tommy told him as he licks his ice cream. "Whoa, they shore don't call this sea-salt ice cream for nothin'." Tommy said and takes another bite. "It's really famous around Twilight Town, and it's our favorite." Olette told him as they continued eating their ice cream. As Tommy finished his he sees on the stick is the word WINER. "Hey, lucky you." Pence said when he saw the stick. "Well, what happens when I get these?" Tommy asked looking at the stick. "Well from what I heard," Hayner said. "that if you're a WINER, you get a free ice cream bar." He concluded as he finished his. "Wow. I think I'll save this for one of my friends when we find them." Tommy said as he put in his pocket. "You for your girlfriend Kimi?" Hayner teased with a snicker. "That's getting really old Hayner." Tommy said annoyed. So they all left the station as the twilight gang goes to their homes as Tommy returns to the usual spot and crashed for the day.
End At Dusk, I Will Think of You
(Day 3)
As another day comes, Tommy has overslept a little longer as he came of his room to see that the Twilight gang is not there. "I wonder where they went to as I overslept?" He thought, but he sees a note on the couch as he reads it. 'Meet at the station. Today's the day we hit the beach-and don't sweat about the money! -Hayner' "How did they get the money? I'll ask them when I get there." So he left the hangout and started running to the station. As he got there, he spots the Twilight gang at the entrance to the station and runs to them. "Hey guys. Sorry I overslept. Say, how did you get the money anyway?" Tommy asked as Pence spoke up. "Well as we were heading to the usual spot, we ran in to the same hooded guy. He started running off as soon as he saw us. But unfortunately for him, he dropped the money from before." He told him. "Well what's important is that we FINALY get to go to the beach. Let's go!" Hayner said as they all went in the station, got there tickets, and boarded the train. As the train went off, Tommy realized something. "Wait a minute, I don't even have any swim trunks!" he said. "Don't worry Tommy," Olette said. "Me and Pence went shopping earlier to get you these." She pulls out a pair of trunks and hands them to Tommy. "Thanks, in fact they're the same kind I had back home." And so the train is off to the beach as they look forward to it.
As the train came to a stop, they all came out and then took a look at the beach. "WOW! This is nothing like the beach back home." Tommy said as they got close to the sand. "If you think it is, you should check out the water once you get ready." Olette said, then they head on to the changing rooms to get there swim wear on. Once they got out, they all started to head on to the ocean and started to have fun, like going under the water and saw some cool rocks and some fish. "This is really cool. I wish my friends were here to see this." Tommy had said when they surfaced from the water. Then they went back to shore to do some relaxing and having some pretzels. "Say Tommy. What was it like with you and your friends?" Olette said as she took a bite from her pretzel. "Well, when we were little, according to our parents, we was very adventurous. Our group as ben divided as time went on like me, Chuckie, Phil, Lil, my cousin Angelica, my little brother Dil, Susie and finally Kimi. Our parents said that we ended up with things no baby has never done before like getting our selves lost in the woods, using a giant robot to stop the wedding between Chuckie's dad and a French woman named Coco LaBouche, and not to mention getting our self's stuck in a submarine with a famous zoologist." Tommy told them. "Whoa, now that was one cool story." Pence said. Soon they heard snoring and sees that Hayner fell asleep. "Was he even licensing to the story or…. Wait, I got an idea." Tommy said as he whispered something in there ears. Later on, they started digging up sand and started to place them on Hayner. Later on, Hayner was barred under the sand except for his head and arms. After a while, Hayner started to wake up and sees that he got barred under the sand. "HEY! Whose bright idea was this?!" He said as he saw his friends laughing at him. Then Tommy spoke up. "Well you didn't bother to listen to my story because you fell asleep, so me, Pence and Olette to …. Do that to you." He said as the others continued laughing. "So I dozed off, big deal." Hayner said as got up, covered in sand. "I think it's time to go back, once we get washed up first." Olette said as they got up and went to the changing room after rinsing them self's off and headed to the train, but as they were heading there, Tommy spots something. "Hey is that… Kimi!" he said as he sees Kimi looking at the ocean. "What? You found Kimi?" Pence said looking around. "Yea, she's over…. There?" He said but only to see that Kimi was gone. "Where did she go? Kimi? Kimi!" Tommy shouted as he looked around franticly. "I think you were imagining that your girlfriend was there." Hayner said until he got hit to the side by Olette. "OW!" "That isn't helping Hayner." She scolded at him. "He might of ben right, but not with the girlfriend part." Tommy said. They boarded up the train and headed back to Twilight Town.
When they got back they went to the usual spot and where just sitting down until Tommy spoke up. "I think I will turn in early for the day." "Okay Tommy, we understand. See you tomorrow." Olette said as Tommy went to his room and lied down with some thoughts. "I really thought I saw her. In fact, I even have this strange aching in my heart, but not like when I first met Rachel. This is really weird." Soon he drifted off to sleep for the day.
