With Spot sleeping with the excitement of tomorrow, the rest are in ANXIOUS MODE for the big day.
Merry and Anxious eve
The excitement was contagious as the snow glisten in the night. All were leaving or going to their respected churches, or heading home. Some wandered looking at the lights, or stayed at home watching jolly holiday movies. It was the night, the big night.
.
White house; December 24, 1920, night time...
Spot was excited as he ran around in the long pajamas.
Spot: *excited* I'm so excited! I'm so excited!
Beast: *lifts Spot up; Spot laughing* Well your gonna keep yourself up all night with that energy if you keep running around.
The Rusherz couldn't help but chuckle at Spot enthusiasm for the big day.
Spot: *excited* I'm just really excited for tomorrow, what are we gonna do tomorrow!
Thor: Well know Beast is going to cook up a meal for the occasion. Other than that we'll just have to get creative.
Spot grinned, not knowing the others had a very special surprise for him tomorrow. He gave a yawn, tired from the excitement. They gave him warm smiles as Spot leaned on Beast.
Fang: For now, i think you had enough action for one day.
Spot nodded tiredly.
.
.
Claw: *nuzzles Spot's head* Sleep dreams Spot.
Spot: *sleepy* Night Claw...
Spot fell asleep as Claw left the room in a smile...which then vanished into anxiousness.
Claw: *Anxious* AHH I'M NERVOUS..
Everyone was nervously nodding, even Blow-Torch was nervous.
Bolt: *nervous* Arg! Why do we have to wait a bit more?
Sonar: *nervous* It's gonna be forever for tomorrow to come!
Woodrow came over seeing them outsides pacing. He knew exactly why as well as he gave a calm smile.
President Woodrow Wilson: I take it you all are nervous for tomorrow?
All thirty one: *nervous/anxious* YES.
Liberty: *nervous* And i thought waiting on a raid was nerve-wreaking. How do you do this?
President Woodrow Wilson: *chuckles* You won't be the first nor last to go through this process. It's experience at play for us humans. What you are feeling is completely normal.
Stampede: -sighs- Alright, but there is no way any of us are gonna sleep tonight, not with this buzzing in our minds. I heard there was this thing cal Vero-
President Woodrow Wilson: *frantic* NONO! That's a big no let's not try that!
They turned seeing Woodrow pale as a ghost.
Grizzly: Take it it's something we should avoid?
President Woodrow Wilson: FOR NOW YES. TRUST ME.
Freefall: *nods* Ah, yes...I think I know what your talking about. We will avoid that then.
Swoop: Then-how are we gonna sleep? Circled around back again.
Everyone was thinking but then-
President Woodrow Wilson: I do believe there is a way. I heard it's one of the many drinks that help calm the nerves.
Liberty: Oh..
.
.
.
The smell of peppermint wafted in the dim room of the bedrooms, the thirty one Rusherz taking a drink from the cups.
Freedom: Oh I am loving this. This is really helping me right now.
Liberty: Yeah, this is really good. Remind me to thank Woodrow again for this.
They nodded as they calmed down and let their nerves out.
Claw: -sighs- Tomorrow is a big day. This-This will be the biggest event for us.
Peg-Leg: Aye, never thought we would be able to get to this point. Specially with our former living conditions and-well, we were all living in a temple with no idea where the other survivors were.
Lasso: We all were thinkin the same thing...*takes a drink* but now-now we got it. We just-need tomorrow to come and it-it'll be official.
Alto: *smiles* Heh, waiting for tomorrow. It almost feels like it's days than hours.
Cyclops took a sip as he looked at Spot sleeping, slowly smiling.
Cyclops: I-I was really unsure about these humans at first, especially since they look almost like the Anticorians. Even with what you all told me what happened before we got to Earth I was nervous...but, there are alot more good humans on this planet. So many of them fighting against the evils they faced. What I saw at the cathedral that night, how the Carr Family and the owners gave us our own winter gear and wanted to check on Spot, how they asked and checked on you guys, and now-this..I-I think I'm gonna be okay living here.
Blow-Torch sighed, nodding.
Blow-Torch:-I, WILL ADMIT, these humans, at least the good ones, are very trustworthy. *all turn to him fast* DON'T GET ME WRONG, I am still wary about being on a whole different planet and these humans. Not to mention the wildlife we are still in the unknown. But, if we're gonna live here we might as well adapt and get use to it.
All were quiet hearing the Steeler Rusher speak.
Stampede: Blow-Torch...*small smile* Yeah, we should learn more about this planet still..just to be on the safe side. Me, Liberty and Freefall were actually talking about this the other night.
Blow-Torch looked over hearing this, surprise evident on his face.
Freefall: We have no idea when Sudden Death or even Zatu will find us. In fact I don't think they even know where we are. This is the perfect chance for us to just, live.
Liberty: *takes a sip* Now...I want to ask the rest of you, do you all want this-
Pillage: YES.
Everyone turned to Pillage fast, he was smiling.
Pillage: I want a break from fighting; I like to play, learn, and live. And we could learn a thing or two about us that we don't even know about.
Slowly, the others smiled.
Stallion: I mean, *to Pillage* You had a ball going to that art and theater show. There is some much to see on this planet too I wanna find out more!
Scavenger: Same...I-I actually have taken a liking to those poem books since that Halloween. I want to find more of them.
Beast: And all these dishes, man I forgotten how much i missed having full meals and not roasting on a stick.
The rest agreed talking amongst eachother with grins and cups empty, all three of the leading Rusherz smiling hearing their excitement for the future no matter what would come their way.
...
Spot: *sleepy* Guys?
All froze turning to see Spot sleepily looking at them.
Spot: *sleepy* Is everything okay..*tired smile* It must be cause your smiling.
They smiled as they went over, Stampede brushing Spot's head.
Stampede: Just thinking about the future. Sorry we woke you up.
Spot: *sleepy; smiling* It's okay, I'm excited to live here with you guys too. -yawns- All I want is for us to be together forever.
Spot slowly fell asleep smiling, as the rest of them warmly smile.
Liberty: Y-Yeah. We'll be together forever, and tomorrow-*tears prick* Tomorrow will be the prime example of that.
Stampede placed a hand on Liberty's shoulder as Freefall hugged him. He wiped his eyes sighing, a sigh that soon turned into a yawn.
Liberty: *tired* Wow, that tea works wonders. I'm tired.
Freefall: *tired* Let's hope we don't oversleep tomorrow then.
With that they headed to the beds.
.
.
The night was calm, quiet, and right. The snow blanketing the area as all was silent. This part of the world falling asleep.
All the Rusherz were tucked in sleeping, silent snores being the only sounds as they slept with smiles on their faces.
...
?: Well look at that. You all look like your doing well. I know you all have a long journey ahead of you. You will be tested, and sadly hurt in different ways. But you will have many many souls supporting you, and you will have eachother. You will meet many people of all kinds, and learn many things about them and yourself. And I assure you, the Guardians will come. Not immediately, and not in the way you expected, but they will come. Till then, my one wish is for you to live. LIVE MY FRIENDS LIVE.
...
Liberty sat up fast at the voice looking around...Nothing.
Liberty: W-Who was that?
They have a big day tomorrow, what will they give to Spot?
