Horned wedding ch5
Setting 1 Zim's house
Zim was watching over Amethyst's smeets and Zam.
It was mid-afternoon on the day before his mom's wedding and Zim was more than a little nervous about the fact that his mom was getting married tomorrow. After all, his family has not had the best luck with marriages and anything could go wrong. He sat in thought as he watched Jade and Lapis play a stupid earth sport called badminton.
On the other side of the yard Zam was working on Blackjack while Jasper was building what looked like a drone. Zim loves how smart his smeets and grandsmeets are, no doubt thanks to his genes.
-Jade- (She just scored another point.) Yes, that is another point for me.
-Jasper- You know Jade, you could go a little easy on Lapis.
-Jade- You mean let her win? No! She will never get better if I let her win. (She said as she hit the ball back and Lapis intercepted it. Jade moved to block it then she tripped and landed on her butt.)
-Jasper- Good job Lapis. You got a point.
-Lapis- Oh my gosh! Jade, are you alright?
-Jade- I think so. I slipped in mud… that I know was not there a minute ago. Hmm, Jasper, you did not have anything to do with this, did you?
-Jasper- Of course not! I am offended that you would even suggest that. Sounds to me like you are just making excuses.
-Jade- Alright, it was just a question.
-Lapis- So… does that score still count? Or…?
-Jade- Yeah, I guess so. (She serves the ball again and they went back to the game.)
-Zam- Jasper, I saw you use your power, you know better than to do that.
-Jasper- But she was asking for it!
-Zam- No, she was not. Jade is right, special treatment or cheating makes a sweet victory tasteless, don't do it again.
-Jasper- Fine. Please… don't tell Mom. Our grounding is almost up and…
-Zam- I won't tell Amethyst. So… are you three sleeping well?
-Jasper- No, not really. It is still pretty much the same. What do you do when you have bad dreams, Uncle?
-Zam- Well for me, it is complicated. Sometimes I have visions, other times I have dreams. But I have learned that avoiding the thing that scares you does not help.
-Starlight- If that is true then how do you explain the fact that you still won't try to get over your claustrophobia.
-Zam- Silence Starlight! We were talking about solutions, not impossibilities!
-Starlight- Well, excuse me for stating a fact.
-Zam- Anyway the point is that eventually the dreams will go away. You just have to be patient.
-Jasper- Ok.
-Gir- (He came running into the yard.) Master, Master! I got to tell you something! And Ooh! pretty bird. (He flew over to the Birdy that the girls were playing with and grabbed it.) Aw hello new friend. Cheep! Cheep Cheep Chirp SQUAWK, SQUAAAAWK-
-Lapis- Gir, that is not a real bird! It is our ball.
-Gir- Oh, but it flew?
-Jade- Because we hit it. (She took it from Gir and hit it to Lapis.) See.
-Gir- Oh Yeah fun. Hahah!
-Zim- Gir, what was so important that you had to tell Zim about?
-Gir- Oh right, you gots a message! What was it about hmmm? Give me a minute I know this I… I… I….
-Mini Moose- (He rolled his eyes.) Meep!
-Gir- I know I will remember it moosey give minute…
-Zim- GIR!
-Gir- Oh yeah! Zooplex just escaped from jail and they want you and Julie to go get him.
-Zim- WHAT?! BUT THIS IS ZIM'S DAY OFF! THOSE VILE INCOMPETENT FOOLS! CAN THEY NOT DO ANYTHING RIGHT WITHOUT ZIM BEING THERE!?
-Gir- Maybe.
-Zim- Gir, that was a rhetorical question. Because the answer is no they can't because Zim is a genius and they are stupid.
-Lapis- Oh Grandpa, can I come with you?
-Zim- Hmm, that would be fun.
-Jade- But Grandpa, Mom said you could not take any of us on missions like that till we are older.
-Zim- Zim knows that! Which is why you five will need a new smeetsitter. But who?
-Gir- Hailey!
-Zim- Good idea Gir.
Lightning flashes in the background
-Zim- I can't believe Zim just said that.
-Zam- But Dad today is Hailey and Allee's anniversary. You can't just go around, interrupting it.
-Zim- Nonsense Hailey said she would smeetsit whenever Zim needed her to. If she did not want me to interrupt her then she should not have made such a commitment. Now come on.
-Zam- But Dad…
-Zim- No butts Zam, Zim is in charge and we have no time to waste. (They all got in the voot cruiser and headed for Earth.)
Setting 2 Earth Broxholm's Base
Hailey was busy getting ready for her date with Allee. She had just finished making a vegetarian lasagna from an earth recipe book.
-Hailey- There, I think that it's already. Just have to cook it for an hour… But Allee will be here any minute. What am I going to do? Hmm… Maybe if I increase the cooking heat it will take less time. (She set the cooking setting then went to her room to get dressed.) Hmm, what to wear, what to wear? Maybe this one? No, she has seen this one. Or maybe this one? no it has that stain on it from the last track meet I cheered her on at. AHH! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO WEAR!
-Broxholm- Hailey, chill, where is the fire?
-Hailey- This is no time for jokes, Dad. Allee will be here any minute and I don't know what I should wear. Why didn't I plan this out last night? Because I was busy making her gift and wrapping it all night and…
-Broxholm. (He put his hands to her shoulders and made her look straight at him.) Breath Hailey, Allee will love you no matter what you are wearing.
-Hailey- I know but I get so nervous and…
-Broxholm- Don't worry, I have a suggestion; since Allee is coming back from her tryouts to get into the Summer Olympics you should wear your red and white striped skirt, with a blue top.
-Hailey- Oh Dad, that is a great idea but what if she did not make it.
-Broxholm- Hailey, have you ever known Allee to fail?
-Hailey- True. Alright! I'll get dressed. (The doorbell rang.) Ahhh! That is Allee? She is early but I- I am not ready! I need to put on antenna rings and-
-Broxholm- Don't worry, I will get it. You stay here and get ready.
-Hailey- Ok (She hugged him.) Thanks for your help, Dad.
-Broxholm- You're welcome. (He left to go get the door.) Hey All… (But it was not Allee that was at the door, it was Zim, Starlight, and the smeets.) Ah hello Zim, Starlight, and smeets. What are you doing here?
-Zim- Zim is here to drop off my smeets with Hailey. She must smeetsit.
-Broxholm- …You expect my daughter to watch over the children… on her anniversary?
-Zam- You see Dad? I told you.
-Zim- Then you smeetsit them.
-Broxholm- Sorry, but I have a parent teacher conference tonight. So you will just have to deal…
-Hailey- Dad? What is going on?
-Zim- There you are Hailey. I was trying to tell Broxholm that you must smeetsit because my stupid coworkers can't keep one vile convict from escaping. So now Zim has to handle it on his day off. Zim does not like this any more than you do but fate is cruel and Zooplex is slippery.
-Hailey- Oh no- Zim I am sorry, that happened but-
-Zim- Exactly! So glad you agree with Zim. Good. Well I have to get going. (He got in his voot cruiser.)
-Hailey- But Zim I was not done I.. (Zim flew off.) Oh no what am I going to tell-
-Allee- Hey Hailey. (She hugged her girlfriend.)
-Hailey- Ahh! Oh, Allee it's you. You're here and you look so beautiful. (Allee was wearing a dark green tank top with a white butterfly on it and a blue frill, long blue jeans jeans, a blue cowgirl hat, and boots.)
-Allee- Thanks Hailey, you look amazing too. I love the color scheme, goes great with my good news. I GOT INTO THE OLYMPICS!
-Hailey- Oh my stars I am so happy for you! (They jumped up and down with joy.)
-Allee- (She kissed her girlfriend.) Oh I'm so excited, now we have even more to celebrate. And Hailey are you alright?
-Zam- I think your kiss broke her.
-Allee- You think so Zam?… Wait Zam and smeets? What are you guys doing here?
-Jade- Grandpa Zim dropped us off…
-Lapis- For smeetsitting...
-Jasper- On your anniversary, sorry.
-Zam- Yes, I tried to tell Dad it was a bad idea but he would not listen to Zam.
-Allee- Oh no. Hailey, this is bad- and please, babe, snap out of it! I need you to focus. (She snapped her fingers.)
-Hailey- Where am I? Oh right sorry Allee, I just love your kisses and…
-Allee- It's ok, I know and Zam just told me the bad news while you were spacing out, we can- I-is something burning?
-Hailey- My lasagna! (She ran into the kitchen and pulled out the burnt lasagna.) No! It is ruined. I guess increasing the heat to save time was not the best idea after all.
-Allee- No, but maybe we can still salvage it?
-Jade- I would not eat that if I were you.
-Allee- Why not?
-Jade- Because if this was the cook book you were using, then you got two recipes mixed up. See? These pages are stuck together.
-Hailey- Oh no, now what are we going to do for dinner?
-Lapis- Well, we could go to one of the restaurants on Foodcortia, like Arkania Gourmet.
-Jasper- But isn't that place crazy expensive?
-Lapis- That is why we will use the ever generous Grandpa Zim's credit card. (She said pulling it out of her pocket.) Since he ruined Hailey and Allee's anniversary he can pay to make up for it.
-Hailey- Lapis, did you steal that from Zim?
-Lapis- Yes, was that bad?
-Allee- Well Lapis, normally I would not encourage your kleptomania but in this case I'll make an exception, because that is a great idea. (She said grabbing and hugging Lapis.)
-Lapis- Yay!
-Allee- What do you think, Hailey?
-Hailey- Sounds like fun.
-Allee- Yes! (She put Lapis down.)
-Broxholm- In that case, I think you will need these. (He said handing the keys to Hailey.)
-Zam- Oh can I drive? That way you two love birds can sit in the back.
-Hailey- Zam stop it, you are making me blush.
-Allee- Oh I don't know, I think his comments are fun. Hahaha. (She said giving Hailey another kiss.)
-Jasper- But then where will we sit?
-Broxholm- Don't worry Jasper, there is plenty of room for you all.
-Allee- Sweet and let's not forget the gifts.
-Broxholm- I will put them in the trunk. (He said as he put them in the trunk.) Now you had better get going. (They all got into the spaceship and flew off.) Drive safe and good luck.
Setting 3 Foodcortia
They all stood outside the restaurant. The building looked like a fancy Greek building. They went in and there was an alien zebra biped with pink and dark purple stripes. She was wearing a long light blue dress and there was a green gem on her forehead. Her name tag said Zetana.
-Zetana- How may I help you?
-Allee- We would like a table for…
-Zetana- Let me guess, two?
-Hailey- Actually no, we need a table for 7 sorry.
-Zetana- That's ok, we cater to all types of family. Even one as big as yours.
-Hailey- Oh no, they are not our. I mean they are ours but we- ah…
-Allee- Hahah… We are smeetsitting…
-Starlight- On their anniversary, because Zim would not listen and Haliey is a pushover.
-Zam- Starlight…
-Starlight- What? She is!
-Zam- That does not mean you say it out loud. Sorry, Hailey, I am still working on her manners.
-Hailey- It is ok, Zam.
-Zetana- Again, so sorry to hear about your dating problems but your table is right this way and the food will more than make up for it.
-Zam- Thank you at least someone has manners.
-Starlight- The truth hurts. Don't blame me if you don't like it. (She said as she cleaned herself and followed them to the table.)
-Zetana- Please be seated and our waitress will be with you shortly. (They all sat down and opened their menu.)
-Allee- Woah! There sure is a lot of food on this menu.
-Hailey- Yes, it sure is a wide selection but… I don't see any earth food. I hope that will not be a problem for you, Allee.
-Allee- Oh don't worry about me, babe. I eat food from matrixdeamonata all the time I know what to order.
-Lapis- I was pluca
-Jade- You always get that Lapis. Why don't you try something new today?
-Jasper- Jade does have a point we don't get to come here as often might as well be adventurous. Dad always said don't knock it till you try it.
-Lapis- Ok.
-Thumper- (Their water came to the table. He was a bunny biped with a white body and black spots.) Hello, my name is Thumper and I will be your waiter this evening. May I recommend the soup of the day or the grilled fugusous they are very good with carrots from Earth we cater to all aliens here.
-Allee- Glad to know it but how did you know I was from Earth?
-Thumper- I happen to be married to the owner and she's traveled to every planet that we are aware of to make sure that our restaurant had ingredients from everywhere. That blended together. But out daughter is the head chef and she likes to make her own names for the dishes. But rest assured it is all real good.
-Allee- Well what you recommended sounds good just one question. What is a fugusous?
-Thumper- Think hawketres.
-Lapis- Oh cool! Those things are real? Can they turn you to stone?
-Thumper- Yep which is why we use a shield before we kill them. I love that dish. Should I put you down for one miss?
-Lapis- Lapis and sure.
-Jade- I will take the soup that you recommended.
-Jasper- Can I have the harafoo burger and sweet potato fries? With a side of any kind of fish for Onyx.
-Zam- I want a lampreyfoo pie.
-Starlight- Grilled moofu for me and some cream.
-Hailey- And I will have a Sufla.
-Thumper- Very good selections. I will have your food right out.
-Jasper- This should be fun trying all these new dishes.
-Zam- Yes, yes, it should now let's get down to business. Hailey, Allee, exchange gifts. I wish to see what is in those packages.
-Hailey- Zam, I think it should wait till after food?
-Zam- No, the one flaw of every restaurant is they take forever to make the great food that they serve. So let's see. Zam demands it.
-Lapis and Jade- Yeah please…? (She said giving Hailey a cute look.)
-Hailey- Ok if that is ok with Allee.
-Allee- I don't mind.
-Hailey- Alright, here you go Allee. (She gave her a big box.)
-Allee- (Opened the box.) Oh my gosh, Hailey! You got me a bejeweled case for my bagpipes.
-Hailey- Actually, I made you a portable case. See? (She took out a remote and pushed a button on it. The case floated out of Allee's hands and in the air a couple of feet up.) I comes with this remote so you don't have to lug around your bagpipes anymore when you go to concerts. Do… you like it?.
-Allee- Nope.
-Hailey- Oh… I am sorry I-I thought… (Allee pulled Hailey into a kiss.)
-Allee- I love it, Silly.
-Hailey- Ah, good.
-Allee- Here is your gift. Though it is not as techy as yours I did make it myself too. (She gave her a square box. Inside was a dress with stars all over it and Neptune antenna rings and an eye patch with a star in the middle.)
-Hailey- Oh my stars Allee, I love it! Thank you.
-Allee- Welcome! I will admit I pricked my finger a bit at first, but Jason gave me some pointers and I got the hang of it. The design was all mine too. The antenna rings and eye patch were easier to make and less painful. I wanted it to be perfect and now Hailey would you do me the honor of trying it on and joining me for a dance?
-Hailey- Here? In public? But what if I slip or step on your toes or rip it or… (Allee put her hand to Hailey's lips.)
-Allee- (she giggled.) You know you are very cute when you fluster Hailey, but Will taught me how to dance. I won't let you fall. Do you trust me?
-Hailey- Always.
-Jade and Lapis- Aww. How romantic.
-Starlight- Sissy stuff.
-Jasper- I spy a karaoke machine, I want to pick the song.
-Lapis- Oooh! Can I sing too?
-Jade- Me too, me too!
-Jasper- But I called it first.
-Jade- So? I want to sing for romance. (She took the mic.)
-Jasper- Hey- give that back~
-Jade- No it is mine. And hey where did it go…
-Lapis- (She had it.) What I said I wanted to sing too, but you guys would not listen.
-Jade- Sorry but he started it.
-Jasper- I did not!
-Zam- Silence! You all can sing. But Jasper gets to pick the song because he had the mic first. That work?
-Jasper- Sure.
-Lasper- Fine with me.
-Jade- I guess so…
-Zam- Good.
-Jade- Me and Lapis will help Hailey get ready.
-Hailey- Ok. Bye Allee.
-Allee- Don't take long, I'll be waiting. (Hailey laughed nervously.)
-Jade- Oh, you want her to be fast? No problem. (She opened a portal to the bathroom.) Step right through.
-Hailey- But Jade I have never traveled via portal before. Is it safe?
-Jade- Duh, now come on. (She pulled Hailey into the portal to get changed and Lapis followed with the present in hand.)
Setting 4 Changing Room
The girls started talking as the unpacked the dress and helped Hailey get into it.
-Jade- See Hailey you worried for nothing portal travel is fun.
-Hailey- Yeah, it was interesting. Sorry, Jade I guess I am just a little nervous. I mean I have never danced with Allee before I don't want to ruin our relationship…
-Lapis- Don't worry Hailey, you will be fine. It is like my mom always says just got to put one foot in front of the other twist spine and let the music take you. (She said as she demonstrated.)
-Jade- Very true Lapis, you just need more confidence, Hailey! I mean you are always worried that something bad is going to happen. But really what is the worst that could happen?
-Lapis- Jade! Don't say that you could jinx her and the whole date, then their anniversary will be ruined or worse their whole relationship will go up in flames and…
-Jade- (She covered her sister's mouth.) Stop it Lapis, you are inviting way more bad vibes then me and freaking Hailey out. (She said pointing to Hailey who is hyperventilating.)
-Hailey- Lapis's right so much could go wrong. Maybe we should just take the food to go and then have a nice quiet evening at home where nothing can go wrong.
-Jade- No way, Hailey! Don't listen to Lapis. This is your anniversary and it should be fun, exciting and new. Not boring stay at home. Nothing will go wrong because we have your back, right Lapis?
-Lapis- I guess so. (Jade face palmed in annoyance.)
-Hailey- What do you mean you guess?
-Lapis- Well, I mean, we are on a new planet surrounded by aliens, we don't know and anything could happen particularly to Allee, who doesn't have any powers and I've never seen you use yours. Come to think of it. I don't even know what your powers are…
-Jade- Wait, you are right. Hailey, why do you not use your powers that often?
-Hailey- Well, I was really young during the Universal Wars... And... well... Something bad happened to me and now... I can't use my powers... I'm not even sure what I can do...
-Jade- You mean you have never taken the test?
-Lapis- You… have your clips, so you must have crossed the final threshold, but you still do not know your ability. Is that… safe?
-Jade- Lapis is right, you have to take the test when we get home!
-Lapis- Yes, please say you will. We do not want anything to happen to you. You are our fav smeet sister.
-Hailey- Really? I thought Zim was your fav.
-Lapis- He lost points for ruining your date.
-Jade- Yep, now let's get you dressed, Future Aunt Hailey.
-Hailey- Future Aunt- wait you don't think Allee will propose soon?
-Jade- Duh, did you see the looks she gave you all night?
-Lapis- Yeah, if this date goes right then the proposals will be next week.
-Hailey- IF!?
-Jade- Lapis, what did I say about bad vibes?
-Lapis- Oh sorry, Hailey- ignore me and just focus on getting dressed.
-Jade- Yep, trust us nothing will go wrong.
Setting 5
Back with Allee and the boys
-Allee- So what song were you thinking, Jasper?
-Jasper- Not sure ,there are a lot of good ones on here.
-Zam- Hmm you are right but not a lot of unisex ones. Curse vile writers and not being up to date with the times.
-Jasper- Calm down Uncle, I think I have two that could work but I am not sure either Livin on love or Meet in the middle.
-Zam- Hmm good choice to go with the country vibe always the best genre. What do you think Allee?
-Allee- I think we should go with Meet in the Middle should help Hailey with her dancing nervousness. She is always so cute when she stumbles on her words~ (She said as she took down her hair and started putting in a braid.) Of course, if I am going to teach her a two-step then I will need to put my hair in a braid so it does not get in the way.
-Starlight- Good thinking Zam would you mind brushing me?
-Zam- But I did that this morning.
-Starlight- Yes but now it is all messy again. PLEASE! (She looked at him.)
-Zam- Alright fine. (He took out a brush from inside his pak.)
-Allee- (In her head Allee thought. "I am beginning to think that Starlight takes Advantage of Zam too much.")
-Starlight- "I heard that and it is not my fault if Zam falls for the old cute eye trick every time" She purred.) Thank you Zam now would you please scratch me behind the ears as only the smartest Mix in the universe can.
-Zam- Well when you put it like that how could Zam refuse. (He did just that.)
-Allee- ("That spoiled brat has him wrapped around her paws. Maybe I should tell Zam about how much she is stroking his ego to get what she… wants… " She turned and saw how beautiful Hailey looked in her dress.) Oh Hailey, you look absolutely stunning.
-Hailey- You really think so?
-Allee- Cross my heart you do. I mean the dress was great on the mannequin, but on you it is perfect.
-Jade and Lapis- Aww…
-Hailey- Allee, that was so sweet but I am still nervous. What kind of song did Jasper pick out?
-Zam- A country song and Allee is going to teach you a two- step.
-Hailey- Ok! I don't know what that means!
-Allee- (She giggled and grabbed Hailey's hand.) It means you stand here and I will stand over there and you do what the music says and when we hold hands, I will lead. Remember, I always got you. (She let go of Hailey's hands and went to her spot and the music began.)
-Starlight- Attention everyone, today is a great day because you are about to be entertained. Watch as the late-blooming Hailey attempts to learn how to dance with her ever so patient girlfriend Allee's help. (She said making the spotlight shine on Allee and Hailey.) Will the dance be a space jam? Watch and find out!
-Zam- Starlight… why did you do that?
-Starlight- Two reasons, it was funny and ("I heard what you said Allee don't talk to Zam I know where you live and I can make things very difficult for you. Your sport equipment can only handle so much abuse and your bagpipes, well I know Gir purr-sonally and…")
-Allee- ("Okay, Okay! I get the picture.")
-Starlight- ('Very good.") I wanted to give Hailey some much needed confidence. Did I do it wrong Zam? Oh please don't be mad at me. (She started to cry.)
-Zam- Oh no don't worry about it Starlight you are right Hailey needed the right boost. It is just like what Zam did on her first date. So you were just following Zam's genius example right?
-Starlight- Hmm… right I…vividly remember you telling me that story… So let's just go with that.
-Zam- Hahaha, Zam knew it! Come on smeets let's start the singing.
-Starlight- Yes, start the show.
-Hailey- Oh no Allee everyone is looking at us.
-Allee- I know, but don't worry! You'll do fabulous. It's like my brother always say's dancing is like science as long as there is chemistry between the two partners nothing can go wrong. (She said in a nerdy voice like her brother.)
-Hailey- (She giggled.) Ok, if you say so.
-Allee- I know so. (She let her go and went to her spot.) Remember what I said, listen to the music.
-Jasper- (The music started.) It was seven hundred fence posts from your place to ours
Neither one of us was old enough to drive a ship
Sometimes it was rainin', sometimes it would shine
We wore out that gravel road between your house and mine
-Jade- I'd start walkin' your way, you'd start walkin' mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
-Ares- (A red headed Deamontanta.) Attention everyone, yes it is true. Tis I, the reigning Duke Ares of the House of Vulpecula the universe's reigning champ of the Hugulous Races and the riches Deamonata ever. Please ladies no need to faint on my account but if you must I will understand. It is always fun to bask in my glory.
-Hermes (He was a biped deer alien with wings and big antlers but very short.) Ares, I told you not to come in here.
-Ares- So that was then this is now. And what did I do last time that was so bad?
-Hermes- Hmm let's me see you flirted with my sister…
-Ares- Oh please that foxyfa enjoyed the attention and you know both are adopted, so technically you are not related to her so you have no say in what is good for her.
-Hermes- First of all; she did not enjoy it. You made her feel very uncomfortable and she is not even working tonight. But my other sister is. You know the one who runs this place and she can have you thrown out or banned.
-Ares- Or I can tell the health inspector that this place has giant rats in their food.
-Hermes- Ha I will have you know that a lot of our customers like the rats.
-Ares- Not if they are diseased.
-Hermes- But they arn't and you know it.
-Ares- Who is the inspector going to believe? You, the adopted ragamuffin or my and my big wad of cash?
-Hermess- Fine… Right this way sir let me show you to your usual seat by the bar.
-Ares- That's better.
-Hermes- One of these days you're going to learn that money doesn't buy you everything.
-Ares- I highly doubt it. (He followed him to the bar.)
-Artemis- Hey Hermes, why do you look so glum?
-Hermes- Because you-know-who is back.
-Artemis- Oh fuck…
-Ares- Oh yes, Artemis. Darling tell me when are you going to ditch the short nerd and give us a chance?
-Artemis- There is never going to be an us and I am going on my break. Before I loose my lunch. (She walked away.)
-Ares- Oh yeah, she wants me.
-Hermes- Reality check, she's my mate and she could not wait to get away from you.
-Ares- Yep and I enjoyed watching her ass. Now be a good little Bambi and get the barmaid before I call my health inspector friends. I have so many.
-Hermes- Fine. (He walked away in a huff.)
-Greta- How may I help you sir? (She was a cross between a bunny and a fox. She had a lot of muscles.)
-Area- Greta, where is your sister Diana?
-Greta- Cooking like always… (Diana was coming out with food to give to the waiter.)
-Ares- Oh I see her at the door. Hi Diana. (He waved and Diana hid back in the kitchen.) Oh I love it when she plays hard to get. (Greta grabbed his hand.)
-Greta- She does not want to see you. Now order before I get mad. (She let him go.)
-Ares- Fresh, you know you don't have to fight over me there is plenty to go around. Too bad there is only one of me guess you and your sister will just have to share.
-Greta- Believe me one is plenty, now what do you want?
-Lapis- It's been seven years, tomorrow, since we said our vows
Under that old pine tree, you ought to see it now
Standin' in the backyard, remindin' me and you
That if we don't see eye-to-eye, there's somethin' we can do
I'd start walkin' your way, you'd start walkin' mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
-Ares- I will have her on a silver platter. (He pointed at Hailey.)
-Greta- She is on a date. So order again before I barf.
-Ares- Oh please, that country bumpkin does not deserve her. Now get me your finest red and make it snappy. I have to help the new green beauty see the error of her ways.
-Greta- Whatever. (She left to get the drink.)
-Jasper- Babe, I love the way we work it out
That's what love is all about
I'd start walkin' your way, you'd start walkin' mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
-Jade- I'd start walkin' your way, you'd start walkin' mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
-Lapis- We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
-Lapis, Jade, and Jasper- I'd start walking your way, you'd start walking mine
We'd meet in the middle, 'neath that old Georgia pine
We'd gain a lot of ground, 'cause we'd both give a little
There ain't no road too long, when we meet in the middle
(They finished their dance and everybody clapped.)
-Hailey- Wow Allee, that was so much fun.
-Allee- You see? I told you.
-Hailey- Yep you sure did but I think I need to get out of this dress before the food gets here. I don't want to stain it.
-Allee- Good call. Lapis and Jade can you help Hailey with the dress again?
-Jade and Lapis- Sure.
-Jade- Do you want to take the portal route again?
-Hailey- Actually no, that dancing made me kind of dizzy and I don't want to take any chances.
-Jade- I got you. (They followed her to the bathroom.)
-Lapis- You two danced so pretty. I guess you were right Jade, they did have nothing to worry about.
-Ares- (Hailey right into hmm.) Oh pardon me miss I didn't see you there.
-Hailey- Oh don't worry it was my fault I was not watching where I was going.
-Ares- My, don't you look ravishing, my deer?
-Jade- Her name is Hailey and she is on a date so back off.
-Ares- Oh how quaint, you brought your little servants on your date. How darling that you let them speak so, but I did not ask for the help's opinion.
-Hailey- They are not my servants. I am smeet-sisting them.
-Ares- Adorable, your overwhelming kindness inspires you to help the unfortunate, underprivileged freaks.
-Jade- We are not freaks.
-Ares- Have you looked in a mirror lately? I mean you are bad enough, but your sister looks like a Matrixsys crossed with one of my kind which is insane. They all died a long time ago. Luckily for me my family was smart and left the planet before that stupid war even started. I heard that we won and got rid of all the Matrixsys good riddance. I guess the Irkens missed one. Don't worry I will be kind and correct that flaw quickly. (He said getting ready to hurt Lapis.) It won't hurt, I promise.
-Zam- (Hailey stepped in front of the kids. He used his fire breath on Ares' hand.) Back away from my niece.
-Ares- Excuse me, knave, I was talking…
-Starlight- Yes I know I heard everyone of your little disgusting thoughts which is why I told Zam to come over here.
-Ares- Hahaha do you think I am scared of you kid?
-Zam- You should be my sister, their mother is Wisest Amethyst who is married to King Shadow brother to your Queen. And you are one phone call away from being executed.
-Ares- I am so sorry I did not know that she was related to someone of your superior breeding and high intelligence.
-Zam- Oh thank you, Zam is amazing.
-Ares- Of course you are, and to show you that I mean no ill will allow me to invite you to the hogulos races.
-Hailey- The what?
-Jade- Oh I just finished reading about that sport. Aliens mount hogulos and race them along an obstacle course. I thought it would be so much fun to compete.
-Ares- (He patted Jade on the head.) Hahaha, that is so cute but those races are for men, delicate ladies such as yourselves are better at being admired from the sidelines, to give us racers the boost we need to finish. So what do you say, want to go. (He pulled out the tickets.)
-Jade- I did not like the first part of the sentence but how could we pass up free tickets.
-Ares- You could not. So how many do you need?
-Jade- There are 6 of us.
-Ares- Excellent see you there Hailey. (He gave her the tickets. Then he kissed her on the hand alot. Hailey looked uncomfortable and freaked out.)
-Zam- Ok that is enough. (He set Area's cape on fire.)
-Ares- Ahh, I am on fire!
-Hailey- Oh my stars Zam here let me help. (She threw water on him.) There sorry about that are you ok?
-Ares- Of course I am not ok I… I mean I am sure that the Mix did not mean to do it. Now if you will excuse me deer Hailey I must get changed. (He ran off.)
-Starlight- Don't hurry back. Hailey why didn't you let him burn?
-Hailey- Because no one deserves to burn to death…
-Starlight- He was a creep, we can make one exception.
-Hailey- Yes he was but two wrongs don't make a right. Now come on Jade and Lapis you have to help me change. (They walked into the restroom.)
-Starlight- I don't trust that we have seen the last of that entitled little prick Zam.
-Zam- Zam was just thinking the same thing. Are you up for a little spying Starlight?
-Starlight- Of course, just as long as you re-cook my food when we take it to go. To this show.
-Zam- Deal. Zam will convince them to eat fast and you distract the gasplgosork
-Starlight- Hahaha now Zam don't insult the gasplgosorks by comparing them to him.
-Zam- Hahaha
-Starlight- (She ran off after Ares.)
Setting 6 Later on at the table
Hailey, Zam, Lapis, and Jade walked up to the table to find their food had arrived.
-Allee- Hey, what kept you four? We were beginning to worry and Zam where is Starlight?
-Zam- Well you see she found a rat and ran after it to… eat it with her dinner.
-Allee- Ew. Well in that case, I am glad she is doing a good service for the restaurant. Hailey, are you ok? you seem flustered.
-Hailey- Oh, don't worry about me Allee, I'm fine just hungry. (She started eating.)
-Jade- Yum this food is really good. Makes up for that jerk we met.
-Allee- What Jerk?
-Jade- Some deamanata asshole.
-Hailey- (She spit out her food) Jade, where did you ever hear such talk?
-Jade- What? He was an ass and you know it. He flirted with you on your date. And he called me and Lapis freaks!
-Allee- He did what? Where is this bastard I will show him.
-Hailey- No Allee there is no need Zam already set his cape on fire and his hand and he ran off.
-Allee- HAHAHA oh Zam that is hilarious. I hope you got a picture.
-Zam- Unfortunately no, but to be honest he is the rat that I sent Starlight after.
-Allee- Oh now I get it. Hailey Zam why didn't you tell me about him sooner?
-Hailey- I was hoping we could just forget about it and move on with our date. If that is ok with you Allee?
-Allee- Normally I prefer to dispense with justice, but if you would rather ignore it, I understand.
-Hailey- Thanks Allee.
-Allee- No problem.
-Jade- Can we still go to the Hogulous races after food?
-Allee- The what?
-Jade- The jerk gave us these tickets for free. Please Allee, I just learned about this sport and I really want to see it in person!
-Allee- Sure, we can go. One question: what is a hogulous?
-Jasper- (He pulled out a book from inside his pak.) This is one.
-Allee- Aw, what a majestic looking creature.
-Zam- More like vicious and dangerous. Dad told me all about the time he went head to head against one.
-Starlight- More like he threw Skoodge as a distraction while Zim led his team away.
-Zam- It is called strategy Starlight and… Wait Starlight what are you doing here? You are supposed to be watching the nut case.
-Starlight- I was but I lost him. Sorry, can you still warm up my food?
-Zam- Sure. (He lit her food on fire.) But how did you lose him?
-Starlight- Not sure he is a slippery snake.
-Lapis- He gave me the creeps. Maybe we should take our food to go.
-Hailey- I agree. Thumper, can we get some doggy bags?
-Thumper- Sure, I will hop right back with them and the check. (He left to go get the stuff.)
-Starlight- You can tell he is a dad, because his jokes are terrible.
-Jasper- I thought it was funny.
-Thumper- Thank you.
-Hailey- Wow that was fast. (She said giving him the card.)
-Thumper- (He swiped it.) Glad to be of service to you. Hope you will visit us again soon. The customers and our staff really enjoyed your dance.
-Allee- Thanks, it was our pleasure. (They finished putting their food away. And left the restaurant for the ship and then the hogulous race.)
Setting 7 The Races
They arrived at the races with their food.
-Jasper- So this is a hogulous race arena.
-Jade- Yep isn't it glorious?
-Jasper- Not the term I was going to use more like barbaric. Do we even know if the hogulous like being mounted and road like animals.
-Starlight- Sounds to me like they do. In fac,t that one over there loved to run his riders over as the try to mount him.
-Jasper- Ok I don't know what is more terrifying the sport or that fact.
-Hailey- Maybe coming here was not the best idea. What as if we see that man again.
-Allee- Oh don't worry Hailey, if we see him again I will give him a piece of my mind to feast upon and with any luck he will choke on it.
-Hailey- No, Allee. As much I love how brave you are but I don't want to see you get hurt.
-Allee- Don't worry I won't start something. Now come on looks like you can pet the hogulous over there.
-Hailey- You want to do what? (But it was to too late Allee was already going near a hogulous.) No wait, Allee that hogulous will bite…
-Allee- (The hogulous licked Allee.) That is right you are just a big softy aren't you? What a sweetheart. I'm sorry Hailey, you were saying something?
-Hailey- How… did you do that?
-Allee- Uncle Rudolph took me to his ranch once and I helped feed the bulls and the pigs. It was fun and this hogulous is basically just a big cuddly pig-bull chimera. What to pet her?
-Hailey- Well I… (The hogulous licked Hailey.)
-Allee- Aw, I think she likes you.
-Jade- Can I pet her, Allee?
-Allee- Sure. Let me give you a boost. (She picked Jade up and put her on her shoulders so she could pet the hogulous.)
-Jade- Aww, she is so fluffy!
-Lapis- I want to try.
-Hailey- (She picked Lapis up and put her on her shoulders and she got to pet the hogulous too.) There you go Lapis. I wonder what her name is.
-Starlight- She says to call her Betsy.
-Lapis- Nice to meet you Betsy.
-Allee- (She grabbed Jasper.) Come on, Jasper. Time to pet the beautiful animal.
-Jasper- Ok as long as she does not bite I… wow she is really soft.
-Zam- (He petted Betsy as well.) I guess that this one is more gentle then the one dad went up against.
-Starlight- Hmph my fur is softer then hers and Zam I spy funnel cake and ice cream.
-Zam- Did you say funnel cake? it shall be Zam's (He ran off.)
-Allee- Make sure you get desserts for everyone Zam!
-Zam- Will do!
-Allee- Well I guess we had better get seats. Bye Betsy!
-Lapis- Yeah, bye-bye Betsy. (They got seats right in front.)
-Zam- I have returned in victory.
-Hailey- You sure did Zam, how much did this cost? (She said looking at the final cake and ice cream for everyone else.)
-Zam- What? We're still using dad's credit card.
-Hailey- I know and that is what I am afraid of.
-Zam- Stop worrying Hailey, look I got enough ice cream for everyone. For you Jade, death by chocolate, mint flavored moose tracks for Lapis, rocky road for Onyx, Jasper gets chocolate cookies and cream, and Allee you love raspberry chocolate chip right? (He said as he gave them all their ice cream.) And for you Hailey, cookie dough.
-Hailey- Wow ,thank you Zam! That is my favorite, how did you know if I never told you?
-Zam- Starlight's a mind reader. (He started eating his chocolate Oreo funnel cake with wiped cream.)
-Hailey- Oh right.…Starlight, how often do you read minds?
-Starlight- Often enough. (She said as she began to eat some of Zam's final cake.)
-Hailey- (she laughed nervously.) Haha, oh look, the race is starting.
-Announcer- Hello and welcome racing fans. My name is Teddy and I will be your sport commentator this fine night. First up, we have the three-way race between Zeus, Ares, and Hades, our three main rivals. (He said pointing to the three aliens each had helmets on.)
-Teddy- Riders you all know the rule first you will be judged on how well you mount your hog and followed by the race at the end whoever had the best score in both categories will get the bragging right and medal of honor The loser will walk away in shame. Of course we all know who is going to win.
-Crowd- Ares!
-Teddy- That is right now let's get ready to rumble! (The mounting began. Ares pushed Hades into the mud then he tripped Zeus and mounted his steed.)
-Jade- Hey, that is a foul. Where is the referee?
-Slick- Hahaha shut up kid! Anything goes in hogulous racing.
-Jade- (She took out a rule book from in her pack.) But the rules say-
-Slick- Rule-smules, now pipe down and let me enjoy the race.
-Allee- Back off scumbag. Any real competitor knows that cheating is the cowards way out.
-Slick- Shows what you know, Pizza face.
-Allee- Why I outta-
-Hailey- Allee, you said you would not start anything.
-Allee- He started it and fine, but I'm rooting for Hades.
-Teddy- Now that all of the competitors have mounted their steeds let's see what the judges have to say.
-Judges- (They gave Ares all the points.)
-Crowd- Yay!
-Allee and Jade- BOO. YOU CHEATED!
-Teddy- Sounds like we have some haters in the audience, maybe they will change their tune after the race. And it begins. (The race starts.) Alright, the runners are coming on the first jump and it is Ares in front but what is this? Zeus is catching up. Oh no, I spoke too soon Ares rammed Zeus to the ground and he! is! out of there! Now, it is just a two sided race.
-Jade and Lapis- Go Hades!
-Zam- Woo!
-Teddy- It is going to be close as we get to the next jump and it is Hades in the lead u have never seen this sports fans could Ares' 20 times racing win be over?
-Ares- Not. A. Chance. (He rammed his hogulous right in the butt of Hades' hog and led them right out of the stadium into the crowd everybody had to run for cover.)
-Teddy- Oh no, it looks like we will have to repair the stadium again folks! Now, Ares has a straight shot to the finish line aaaaaand Ares wins!
-Crowd- Wooo!
-Our hero's- BOO!
-Hailey- Guys, not so loud what if he hears us?
-Zam- Let him, he cheated to win!
-Allee- Yeah, BOO!
-Hailey- No Allee Zam stop before… (Ares took off his helmet.) Huh it's him.
-Allee- That is the guy that flirted with you and…
-Jasper- Insulted my sisters. I am going to make him apologize. (He flew out of his seat to the arena. He was almost to where Ares was receiving his metal.)
-Lapis- (She got in front of him.) No Jasper, it is ok I am used to it.
-Jasper- No! You are not allowed to take that Lapis.
-Lapis- But you saw what he did to Hades and the way he flirted with Hailey it reminded me of… Esquire. Let's just go home.
-Hailey- Yah before anything bad happens.
-Ares- Hailey my love I am so glad you made it. (He grabbed her and and kissed it.)
-Allee- Back off cheater she is not interested.
-Ares- Oh and who are you to try and stop me, her adopted cousin. Hahaha stand aside my deer unless you want a three way.
-Allee- Ok first of all gross and second I am her girlfriend.
-Ares- Well of course, you are her friend. Gods I heard that humans were slow but I didn't realize how slow. (He shoved Allee aside and got close to Hailey.) Now Hailey, I simply MUST apologize for my action earlier.
-Hailey- You…will?
-Ares-Forgive me, but I forgot to introduce myself before!
-Hailey- Oh.
-Ares- My name is Duke Ares of House Vulpecula and now 21 time winner of the hoglos races. Clearly I am a better catch then that peasant human you were dancing with at the restaurant. Who has abandon you for shame. Please allow me to save you from your embarrassment- (He tried to get to Hailey but suddenly there was a wall.)- What is going on?
-Jasper- I just turned the air to a solid. Now apologize to Lapis, Jade, and Hailey.
-Ares- Haha and who is going to make me?
-Allee- I will.
-Ares- Haha now listen Pet, you are cute but weak so why don't you run along and…
-Allee- Shut up I am not your pet and the name is Duchess Allee sister in law to your Queen Rachel.
-Ares- Oh right I had heard that Rachel had gotten married to a human nerd. Such a loss we would have made a much better couple.
-Allee- First of all gag, second I am the only one that gets to call my brother a nerd and third and most important of all Hailey is my girlfriend in other words we are together. I was the one dancing with her.
-Ares- What no oh my poor Hailey clearly this human has brainwashed you. Come away from that wall and I will get you help.
-Zam- You are the one who needs help, scum! I already burnt your hand and cape and I would love to burn off your leg.
-Ares- Try it shrimp and I will rip off your arm.
-Jasper- You leave my uncle alone. (He flew at Ares but he was ready for Jasper. In fact he caught him and then threw him to the ground. Luckily Hailey caught him before he hit the ground.)
-Hailey- Jasper, are you ok?
-Jasper- I don't feel so good.
-Allee- What did you do to him?
-Ares- Took his powers. I would be willing to give them back if you came with me Hailey.
-Allee- That is not happening, you are going to return his powers right now.
-Ares- Hahha why would I do that?
-Allee- Because I bet that I could beat you in a hogulous race.
-Ares- Hahaha you beat me pet? That is rich not only are you a squishy human but you are a girl there is no way you could ever beat me.
-Zam- Sounds to me like you are chicken bock bock.
-Allee- Hahaha you nailed the ugly cheating bastard Zam. Hahah!
-Ares- Alright, that is enough! I don't know what a chicken is, but fine ,I will race you but only if I get Hailey and you. I will enjoy putting you in your place.
-Allee- Deal. (They shook on it.)
-Hailey- Allee, what have you done?
-Allee- We don't have a choice Hailey. Look at Jasper, we have to get his powers back.
-Hailey- (She held Jasper in her hands.) I know, but he'll cheat- Qhat if you get hurt?
-Allee- Don't worry I am ready for him. (She went into the arena.)
-Teddy- Folks, I don't believe what I am reading Ares is going up against haha -get this- a human girl.
-Crowd- Hahaha
-Teddy- Hahaha Ow what just scratched me?
-Starlight- Shut up bias prick this commentary is under new management. Now you can either pipe down and help or I claw your eyes out.
-Teddy- Gulp looks like I have a new co-anchor. Hahah lucky me.
-Starlight- Don't you mean better prettier anchor and these announcements are going to change. In this corner we have the pumpious arrogant ass who stole an innocent mixes powers because he could not get a date on his own.
-Crowd- Uw…
-Starlight- And in the other, The Great Amazon of our story, Dutchess Allee, the Earth Olympian!
-Our hero's and the girl members of the crowd- Yay!
-Ares- Wait, so you mean you are an athlete?
-Allee- Yep scared yet douche bag.
-Ares- Haha. Of course not, everyone knows that earthlings are weak and extremely poor judges of character. It's a wonder how you managed to get poor Hailey.
-Allee- Blah blah blah, why don't you shut up and get fitted for your chicken suit.
-Ares- Oh, I am going to enjoy breaking you. And I will learn what a chicken is.
-Teddy- The trainers have just released the hogs. (The hogs ran out into the stadium. Ares tried to push Allee into the mud but she jumped up and grabbed a rope.)
-Ares- Haha, who is the chicken now? (He ran off and mounted his hog.) You may all applaud now.
-Starlight- Aw it would appear that the crowd is too busy watching Allee perform her impressive rope acrobatics. (Allee spun and flipped in the air onto her hog.)
-Zam- Woo! That's Zam's sister.
-Smeet- Go Allee.
-Hailey- Kick his ass, babe! But please don't hurt yourself!
-Starlight- Impressive display now let's see what the judges have to say. (They showed Allee's picture.)
-Ares- What am I paying you for? I mean you may have won the mounting round but the race won't be as easy.
-Allee- Big words coming from a guy who had to pay his way to get what he wants.
-Ares- Look who's talking, you are a Duchess which means you are well off too.
-Allee- Hahaha guess again I work hard for everything I own. Something you clearly know nothing about. So that one day-
-Ares- Ew, you work?
-Allee- SO THAT ONE DAY me and Hailey can buy a house and move in together.
-Ares- Eugh, the scandal, don't worry Hailey when you are mine I will turn the human into our maid and show you how to have a real good time.
-Hailey- I think I am going to be sick.
-Zam- Silence there are smeets present!
-Starlight- On that gross thought it is time for the racing portion of the competition.
-Teddy- That's right and since our racing area was destroyed the racers will be running in the sudden death run. Bum Bum bum. (He said and the lights shown on a race track.) As you all know the death run got it's name because of the three deadly jumps. First is a high jump then a jump through a ring of fire and finally, they jump over the death pit of Alphonzos, the natural predictor of the hogulous. For you humans out there, think alligator crossed with a hippo. Hahaha who will survive you will find out soon enough.
-Starlight- My money is on the skilled one.
-Ares- Hahaha still so confident my deer?
-Allee- I was about to ask you the same thing and don't call me deer.
-Area- Why not they are beautiful and gentle and fragile just like you and Hailey.
-Allee- I am not gentle or frail as you will learn when I kick your ass.
-Starlight- And with that example of putting arrogant dill wads in their place, let's start the race!
-Teddy- On your marks
-Starlight- Get set
-Both co-anchors- go! (The race starts.)
-Teddy- The competitors are neck and neck as they approach the first jump. And there they go. A perfect jump! but what is this? there is now suddenly a-
-Starlight- A mud hole under Allee and her hog. Oh no folks they just fell in.
-Ares- Don't worry kitten, they say mud is good for your skin and you could use it.
-Hailey- They are adorable freckles, you disgusting cheater. Allee get up!
-Jade- Yeah Do not let him get away with using my brother's powers like that.
-Lapis- Here, here!
-Allee- (She got up and got back on the hog.) Come on, Spirit let's show him. (They raced after Ares.)
-Teddy- Allee tries to pick up the pace as they approach the next jump of fire!
-Ares- (He jumped through it then he stopped to sign autograph.)
-Random fangirl- Oh thank you Ares, but aren't you worried that she'll catch up?
-Ares- Of course not, there is no way she can handle that jump. I will enjoy watching her get burned to a crisp.
-Allee- (She jumped right through it with no problem.) You were saying? (She said as she ran ahead of him and spat in his eyes.)
-Ares- What, no! (He ran after her.) No more Mr don't kill anyone. She. is. dead. (he got closer to her, and they both jumped the last jump. Then he shoved his hog into hers. They fell onto a rock that stranded them in the middle of the pit of Alphonzos.)
-Hailey- Oh no!
-Jade- Hey reff are you blind, that can't be legal?
-Ref- (He was counting a big wade of money.) Looks ok to me. Thanks for the dough Ares. I am going to buy a toaster and a new tv.
-Ares- Welcome. Hahaha. She should have taken my offer while she could. I guess I will just have to settle for the beautiful Hailey because the foolish human is now Alphonzo chow.
-Allee- I don't think so. Come on boy. (She made him back up to the edge of the rock. They ran and jumped clean back onto the racing area.) Yehaw (She landed and ran off.)
-Ares- No, how does she keep doing that? (He ran after her.)
-Starlight- The race is going to be close. It is Allee, it is Ares and Allee wins.
-Teddy- No, I lost my bet.
-Starlight- And I won mine.
-Hailey- Yes go, Allee.
-Ares- No, I demand a re-race.
-Starlight- No you lost now return everyone saw Jaspers powers. Or does Duke Ares have no honor?
-Crowd- Yah a deal is a deal no sore losing!
-Ares- Fine. (He gave Jasper back his powers.)
-Jasper- Oh thank the dragons I feel better but I still can't use my powers what is going on?
-Ares- Don't look at me, I gave them back.
-Haliey- You must be crossing the threshold. Come on, Jasper we had better get you home.
-Starlight- Not before Teddy gives Allee her medal.
-Teddy- But I don't want to.
-Starlight- (She scratched his leg.)
-Teddy- Ow fine. (He gave Allee a metal.)
-Starlight- Much better.
-Crowd- Speech speech.
-Allee- Thank you all for this honor. I did this to save my nephew and I dedicate this win to my number one girlfriend Hailey. (She dipped Hailey into a long kiss.)
-Crowd- Woo!
-Ares- No I will not stand for this. (He grabbed Hailey's arm and dug his claws deep into her wrist.)
-Hailey- Ow- you are hurting me.
-Ares- You will get over it. Now come with me and… (Allee punched him right in the face. His nose started bleeding.)
-Ares- Ah- My nose! (he continues to whine.)
-Allee- She is not going anywhere with you, asshole.
-Ares- You punched my nose!
-Allee- Come on Hailey. (She guided Hailey away, turning her back to Ares. Big mistake because he grabbed Allee's braid.)
-Ares- Not so fast, Sweetness I always get what I want and no delusional human bitch is going to stand in my way.
-Allee- (She pulled out a pocket knife and cut off her braid. Then she stabbed him in the leg with the knife. Ares howled.) I already told you she does not belong to you. (She said holding the knife out in front of her.) Jade, open a portal. We're going.
-Jade- You don't have to tell me twice. (She opened a portal and they all ran through it.)
-Ares- You are not going anywhere. (He turned into a maned wolf and raced after them.)
-Lapis- Jade what is going on? Where is the ship?
-Jade- I don't know, I told the portal to take us right to it but then something happened and now I can't make a new one. I think I am crossing the threshold too.
-Lapis- Oh no, what else can go wrong?
-Jade- Lapis?! What did I say about jinxing!?
-Ares- (He howled.)
-Zam- Don't worry I have the alarm. (He pushed the button and the ship alarm blinked.) It is that way. (They ran for the ship.)
-Hailey- (They arrived safe.) Yes, we made it. Smeets- get in first. (Jasper Jade and Onyx got in.) Lapis, Zam, you're next.
-Allee- Hailey, look out! (Ares was about to jump on top of Hailey but Allee pushed her out of the way so he landed on top of her.)
-Ares- Big mistake human because now I have got you right where I want you. (He bit her arm.)
-Allee- Ahh!
-Hailey- No! Allee, let her go.
-Ares- don't worry Hailey I will get to you soon. Ahh (Allee stabbed him in wing.) Ahhh! Don't you know when to quit? (He clawed her leg.)
-Allee- Ahh no I never quit.
-Ares- Then you'll have to die…
-Lapis- Not if I have anything to say about it. (She blasted him off of Allee with her horn blast.)
-Ares- Ahh!
-Hailey- Thank you Lapis. Oh Allee, no no this is bad you are bleeding so much. Starlight, levitates her into the ship and let's get out of here.
-Starlight- Of course. (She floated Allee into the ship.)
-Ares- Neat trick Freak, think I will take it for myself once I get Hailey.
-Lapis- You will not be taking anyone. (She tried to use her powers.) Oh no, now I am crossing the threshold!
-Starlight- Seriously, why do you three have to be triplets?
-Ares- Hahaha, now the time has come! (He ran at them but Zam made a fire wall, unfortunately Ares halted before he hit the wall.) I told you I would not fall for your flames again. Shrimp.
-Zam- Zam told you there would be consequences if you did not obey. Now you find out how shocking my personality can be. (He turned into a lightning bolt and shocked Ares.)
-Ares- AHHH
-Zam- (He went back to normal and they all ran into the ship and flew off. He sighed in relief.) That was close.
-Hailey- Oh Allee why did you do that? I mean look at your leg and your arm- how are you going to compete in the olympics now. Your dream… it is all gone because of me. (She was crying.)
-Allee- Don't worry about it babe I am just glad you are ok. (She coughed up blood.)
-Hailey- No no please Utopia no not again. I already lost Valure I can't lose you too. Allee, don't go.
-Allee- Hailey, listen to me I love you and I will always jump to save you… (She passed out.)
-Hailey- No no come back please please come back.
-Jasper- Calm down Hailey, here- feel. (He put her hand to Allee's wrist.) See? She still has a pulse.
-Hailey- But she is so pale and she has lost so much blood.
-Zam- And that is what is going to save her.
-Hailey- What do you mean?
-Zam- We are going to Paige's house. She will heal Allee, no problem.
-Hailey- I pray you are right... (They fly off to Earth with Allee's life hanging in the balance.)
