“Well,” Kane got up from the chair, “now that that’s over, it’s time to get you guys fitted.” His tone was still serious.
“Fitted,” Ruby instantly turned to Kane. “Did we come in the middle of a festival or something?” Her eyes widened in excitement as she stepped towards Kane.
“A party,” Eric jumped up. “Oh yeah! Party time,” he yelled jumping up and down on the bed like the kid he was.
Then I turned to look at Kane. His palm was on his cheek as his index finger slowly tapped his temple. I guess this would be a good time to warn Ruby and Eric.
As I was about to speak, Chris silently got up silently and stood over Kane on the couch. “Battle,” asked Chris.
Kane stared at Chris and replied, “Well, at least you caught on.”
Ruby and Eric’s jaws dropped when they heard the news, and Terra walked over to the entrance of the entrance of the room. “Let’s go then,” said Terra. “It’s obvious that we’ve got a lot to do before we can go home. So, Kane, Where do we go from here?”
Kane pointed out the window to the huge dome-like building that bugged Chris. “That is the library,” said Kane. “It’s Torrentia’s greatest treasure and our next destination.”
Eric sat down on a nearby bed and said, “Not the library. We were supposed to party, have fun, and not give a damn ‘bout anything else ‘til Monday.” Looks like Eric was in his rare moments of gloom.
I put my hand on his shoulder and said, “Eric, we’re gonna be here on Gaia for a while.”
“Past Monday,” he mumbled.
“Maybe even the next few weeks,” I replied.
“Cool,” he yelled as he bounced back to his usual self and off the bed.
Ruby and Chris merely rolled their eyes as they made their way out the doorway with Terra and Kane. But, I couldn’t help feeling that someone was ticked off at me.
“Alexander,” Aqua said coldly from behind me.
The thought ‘not good’ was going through my head.
‘You can say that again.’
Huh? What was that?
A hand gripped my shoulder and took me back to the fact that Aqua was pissed at something I said.
“We won’t be here for a few weeks,” Aqua said poisonously. “We are going to be back by Monday, because, if we fall behind for that long, we will not be able to make up all that lost work. Which means that, we will be held back a year, and I, for one, am not going to let that HAPPEN!!!” Her grip on my shoulder tightened into a sharp pain.
“I got it,” I yelled. “I got it!”
She let go of my shoulder and walked up to Eric, who was cowering on the floor as anyone else would have done in Aqua’s presence, and gripped the front of his shirt. After she had lifted him, she dragged him by the shirt in my direction, and she took hold of the front of my shirt! “Now, how about that library,” she brightened up before she ran through the doorway, down the stairs, out of the inn, paused to catch sight of everyone else, and darted after them while dragging me and Eric the whole way.
Eric started yelling, “HELP! SHE’S LOST IT AGAIN!”
The town folk paused to look before jumping out of the way and our friends and Kane caught sight of us in alarm. Kane broke out into a run as the others followed as fast as they could, and Aqua was hot on the trail. Then they reached the library about fifty feet ahead of Eric and me who were still being rushed by Aqua’s grip.
“Open the door,” I heard Ruby yelling. “She’s in her book crazed mode!”
“Dammit,” yelled out Chris. “Let me break it down!”
“Got it,” Kane said with a sigh of relief, as Aqua closed in.
“BOOKS,” Aqua suddenly cried.
Kane, Chris, Ruby, and Terra jumped out of the way on the planks of wood that held up the town right before Aqua had come to a screeching halt before the double doors of the dome shaped building. Then we were finally released from her grasp.
