Best Friends Forever:
Percy still lay unconscious under the headmaster's desk. Milo sidestepped the chair and knelt beside Percy, shaking him to wake him up
"Percy? Percy, what happened to you?" Asked Milo. "Percy? Perce? Percy?"
"Deo…," said Percy softly.
"What?" Asked Milo.
"Deo…," said Percy again.
"Deo? Who's Deo? What did Deo do to you, Percy"? Asked Milo.
Percy pointed to his satchel. Milo grabbed satchel from Percy and searched it, but it was difficult because he still had the mittens of the costume on it. Milo flipped the bag over and grabbed the bottle.
"Deodorant?" Asked Milo.
Milo sprayed with the deodorant, Percy grabbed the bottle from Milo and sprayed himself full of the deodorant.
"Dude, I thought you were a goner," said Milo. "Don't you think that is a bit much pal?"
"I'm not your pal," said Percy.
"What? Percy? Dude?" Asked Milo.
Percy stood up, put the items back in his satchel and walked out of the office.
"Dude? Percy? Percy, wait for me! Percy!" Said Milo, as got up and walked after Percy.
At the same time in the house. Skyla was in the bathroom and standing in front of the mirror.
"Hey Anastacia, would you like…No," said Skyla. "Hey, Ana, I'm going to the village this afternoon, wanna join? To easy going. Hey, Ana, are you going to…"
Anastacia walked into the bathroom and turned on the special light.
"Who are you talking to?" Asked Anastacia.
"No one, I was just talking to myself," said Skyla.
"Okay," said Anastacia.
Anastacia walked toward the closet, she took off her sunglasses and grabbed her eye medicine.
"Ana…stacia," said Skyla.
"Yeah", said Anastacia.
"Are you going to do something today?" Asked Skyla.
"Why do you want to know?" Asked Anastacia.
"Well, I thought maybe we could…," said Skyla. "I just thought it seems fun to me to go to the village, together."
"The what?" Asked Anastacia.
"The village", said Skyla. "But if you don't want to, I would understand."
"What can we do in the village?" Asked Anastacia.
"I don't know, we can see if there nice stores," said Skyla. "Maybe we can buy something nice for our room?"
"You mean shopping?" Asked Anastacia.
"Yeah," said Skyla.
"It's excited thought, I've never been shopping without my P.A," said Anastacia.
"P.A?" asked Skyla.
"Yes, said Anastacia.
"Is that what you call your dad?" Asked Skyla.
"No, that's what I call my father, he doesn't have time to do those things," said Anastacia. "No, I mean my Personal Assistant."
"Oh yeah, right, of course," said Skyla. "So you never have really shopped before?"
"Never physically went shopping," said Anastacia.
"How did you shop then?" Asked Skyla.
"With my P.A, we went in a store, I sat down and pointed at things I liked and he would get it for me, that made my really got at pointing at things," said Anastacia. "Your mouth is open."
"Sorry," said Skyla.
"You know what? I'm going to try it," said Anastacia.
"Really?" Asked Skyla.
"Yes, I'm going shopping with you," said Anastacia. "Let's do it."
"Yes?" Asked Skyla.
Yes, said Anastacia.
Skyla was actually quite happy that Anastacia wanted to go shopping with her, maybe they could become friends through this, Skyla also thought that through this Anastacia will finally learn her name.
In the meantime at school. Percy was walking down the hallway and he was angry, Milo ran after him and wanted to know why he was so angry.
"Why aren't we friends anymore?" Asked Milo.
"I can't remember a time we were," said Percy.
"We were BFF's," said Milo.
"BF what?" Asked Percy.
"Best Friends Forever," said Milo.
"Well, I hereby make an end to our friendship," said Percy.
"What did I do that was so bad?" Asked Milo. "You got your recorder back and I got the headmaster out of his office like you said."
"Like I said?" Asked Percy." I said, you lost it so think of something. I don't recall asking you to cause a mass panic, did I?"
"No, You know what? You can't appreciate my monkey style," said Milo.
"No. And if you've kept your hands off my stuff, we wouldn't have this conversation right now," said Milo
Milo heard a sound, the sound a hand being licked and going through hair. Milo knew exactly who it was.
"Dude, the headmaster," said Milo.
"What?" Asked Percy.
"I recognize that sound straight away after this afternoon," said Milo.
"Percy and Milo," said Mr. Danbury.
Percy and Milo turned around and saw the headmaster standing behind them
"Dude, run now! Run! Run!" Yelled Milo.
Milo and Percy ran away, but the headmaster did not run after them, he just stood there and did nothing.
Back at the house. Raphael was in the hallway downstairs talking on the phone with his father.
"How is school? Can you combine it with your schedule? Asked Mr. Haas. Or I can call the headmaster.
"No, that is not necessary," said Raphael.
"Where are you at?" Asked Mr. Haas.
"At home," said Raphael.
"I'm talking about the 12th concert of Mozart," said Mr. Haas.
"Well, I can play Allegro flawlessly," said Raphael.
"And Andente and Allegretto? Raphael?" Asked Mr. Haas.
"I'm working on it dad," said Raphael.
"You should practice more, Raphael," said Mr. Haas.
"Yes, I'll do it," said Raphael.
"Don't forget you finger warm up, it's important," said Mr. Haas.
Skyla and Anastacia came walking downstairs and were about to go to the village. Skyla walked toward the closet and grabbed the coats.
"Hey Raphael," said Anastacia.
"Who's that?" Asked Mr. Haas.
"A housemate, dad," said Raphael.
"We're going to the…," said Anastacia, but she couldn't come up with the word.
"Village," said Skyla.
"The village, exactly," said Anastacia. "Do you want to join us?"
"What I'm hearing in the background? You're not going anywhere, Raphael. You've to practice," said Mr. Haas.
"Yes, dad," said Raphael.
Skyla and Anastacia left the house and to head to the village.
"If you follow your schedule, you can do something fun for four hours in 31 days," said Mr. Haas. "Are you still there?"
"Yes, I'll keep to my schedule, said Raphael.
"Arlene assured me that your music studies would make progress at this new school, so don't disappoint me," said Mr. Haas.
"No, I won't do that dad," said Raphael
Raphael hung up the phone and sighed deeply, actually he didn't feel like doing his piano practice at all and would rather do something fun, but he also knew that if his father found out, he would take him away from here and Raphael was glad to have more freedom. Raphael walked upstairs to his room to do his piano practice anyway.
A few moments later. Skyla and Anastacia were still on their way to the village.
"I hope there is a sushi bar in that village of yours. And I hope they sell haut cauture, otherwise I don't get why we're walking this far," said Anastacia.
Anastacia stopped walking; Skyla didn't really realize this and kept walking.
"Thingy? Is it far?" Asked Anastacia. "I've always knew that walking is bad for you. I mean they didn't invent to Rolls Royce for nothing."
"Well, I think we're almost there," said Skyla.
"Let's go. We should've taken Harry with us. He could've carried our bags for us, so dumb of me," said Anastacia.
Skyla couldn't help but smile a little at Anastacia's comment anyway. Anastacia grabbed her suitcase again and walked with Skyla toward the village.
Percy and Milo were also near the village, but they were on their way home. Percy was still angry with Milo, Milo tried to apologize, but Percy ignored him.
"I don't understand, you've your recorder back," said Milo. "Dude, how long are you going to stay mad at me?"
"I'll be mad at you as long as I want to be," said Percy.
"But I've saved your life with deodorant," said Milo. "Why do you need so much deodorant?"
"I don't need to give you an explanation on that," said Percy.
"But you admit it's weird?" Asked Milo.
"Weird? Wanna talk about weird? Putting sambal on everything, that is what I call weird," said Percy.
"But Percy? Percy? Why is that weird?" Asked Milo.
A few moments later in the house. Raphael was still practicing his piano, but stopped as soon as the door opened and Percy entered the room. Percy walked toward his desk, put his satchel there, took off his bag and sat down at the desk and turned on his recorder.
"Two hours ago, I saw a strange object in the office of the headmaster. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to investigate," said Percy.
"I'm here!" Said Milo as he walked into the room. He walked over to Percy. "Friends?"
"The suspicious object requires further investigation, that's all," said Percy.
"Percy, it's going to end badly for me if you don't shake my hand and we're friends," said Milo.
"But Percy ignored Milo, he grabbed the things that had collected from his bag and went to examine them. Milo turned the globe that was on the desk and stopped it and pointed to a country.
"Friendania, it means we've to become friends," said Milo.
Again Percy ignored Milo, he remained focused on his research.
In the meantime, Skyla and Anastacia had arrived at a small store in the village and looked in through the window.
"Come let's go inside," said Skyla.
Skyla opened the door and she and Anastacia went inside. The little store was full of unusual stones, scent sticks and other spiral things. Skyla and Anastacia looked around the store, not realizing that a woman was watching them.
"This is such a cute store, totally fits in a village," said Anastacia.
Meanwhile in the house, Kent sat in his room, Arlene entered the room with a cup of coffee and set it down.
"The boys are home," said Arlene.
It took us a lot of time to get the five of them together, we can't afford to lose one," said Kent.
"That won't happen, I'll keep a closer eye on them," said Arlene.
"You better," said Kent.
Arlene nodded her head and left the room again.
"They are finally complete, no one can leave this house," said Kent. "The Five are ours now."
Back in the little store where Skyla and Anastacia were. Anastacia saw a necklace lying there and looked at it.
"That one. Thingy look at that one, look how beautiful it looks, that one is mine," said Anastacia.
Skyla walked over to Anastacia and grabbed the mini booklet that was next to the necklace and went through it.
"A magical Celtic Mood Stone," said Skyla.
"Yes, said Anastacia, holding out the necklace.
"Oh right, yes," said Skyla.
Skyla grabbed the necklace from Anastacia and put it around her neck.
"And, it probably looks beautiful on me, right?" Asked Anastacia.
But before Skyla could answer that question, stone of the necklace turned red.
"It has turned completely red," said Skyla.
"Red? What does red mean?" Asked Anastacia.
Skyla grabbed the mini booklet again and looked up what the red color meant.
"Your emotions decide the color of the stone." Said Skyla. "Red, that stands for love."
"Duh, I don't need a necklace to tell me that. All they boys are standing in line for," said Anastacia. "Here you try it on."
Anastacia took off necklace and handed it to Skyla. Skyla put the necklace on and the stone colored black. Skyla quickly took off the necklace before Anastacia saw the color.
"The color of impending doom," said Skyla.
"And?" Asked Anastacia.
"What?" Asked Skyla
"Which color did you get?" Asked Anastacia.
"Uhm, yellow," lied Skyla.
"Oh, let's see what that means," said Anastacia, grabbing the mini booklet of the table. "Yellow is the color of friendship."
"Oh," said Skyla.
"I'm going to look over there, said Anastacia.
"Yeah, said Skyla.
Anastacia walked to the other side of the store. Skyla put down the necklace and walked to a display case, inside the case was a stone with a strange symbol. Suddenly Skyla saw a woman standing on the other side of the display case. Skyla was startled and flinched backwards.
Who is this woman? Why was she spying on Skyla and Anastacia earlier? And why did the stone on the necklace turn black? What impending doom is coming?
