Synan, Zoe, James, Veronica, Syrus, and
|
||
|
||
Kail stand around the cylinder in the center, hands
|
||
|
||
joined.
|
||
|
||
“I will now sent Synan, Zoe, James, and
|
||
|
||
Syrus to Earth. I will return Kail to the future.”
|
||
|
||
Before anyone knows what happens,
|
||
|
||
Synan, Zoe, James, and Syrus are in a grassy
|
||
|
||
field on Earth.
|
||
|
||
“We’re back!” Zoe yells.
|
||
|
||
“Yes! We survived!!” Synan adds.
|
||
|
||
“I haven’t been on Earth for years.” James says.
|
||
|
||
“Kids...” Syrus mocks.
|
||
|
||
They walk toward the city. The city is much
|
||
|
||
more lively this time of day. What time is it?
|
||
|
||
Synan and Zoe walk back into the Ideya Shop.
|
||
|
||
Syrus and James walk off on their own.
|
||
|
||
“Hey, James! Wanna come to my house?”
|
||
|
||
“Sure.” James replies.
|
||
|
||
James and Syrus go to Syrus’s apartment.
|
||
|
||
Syrus and his parents have a quick reunion and
|
||
|
||
then Syrus and James go to Syrus’s room to play
|
||
|
||
video games. Syrus has all the best video game
|
||
|
||
equipment. He has things that aren’t even out yet!
|
||
|
||
Systems more advanced than the
|
||
|
||
Playstation 2 or the Dreamcast. Syrus’s dad
|
||
|
||
works in the video game business.
|
||
|
||
Syrus and James are playing a fighting
|
||
|
||
game. A voice comes behind them.
|
||
|
||
“Welcome back, Syrus and James.”
|
||
|
||
They look back. There are two girls
|
||
|
||
standing here. One blonde, and one brunette.
|
||
|
||
The blonde speaks first. “Hi, I’m
|
||
|
||
Sarah Croft. I know all about your quest on
|
||
|
||
The Land of No Return, and I’m willing to
|
||
|
||
write a book about it.”
|
||
|
||
“And I’m Veronica Creel.”
|
||
|
||
Sarah continues, “So, Syrus. Did
|
||
|
||
you finish Cain’s Quest yet?”
|
||
|
||
“No, not yet.”
|
||
|
||
“Well, finish it. How much do you
|
||
|
||
want to bet that I’ll prove that Veronica
|
||
|
||
wrote that game’s script?”
|
||
|
||
“Maybe later.” Syrus says.
|
||
|
||
“Well, if you ever need to confess
|
||
|
||
your stupidity to me, I work in town now.
|
||
|
||
My Book Shop is at 3346 Fourth Street,
|
||
|
||
right here in Vatican City. Stop by if you
|
||
|
||
want to visit sometime, okay Syrus?”
|
||
|
||
“Okay.”
|
||
|
||
Sarah and Veronica disappear
|
||
|
||
with a flick of light. James comments,
|
||
|
||
“I think Sarah likes you.”
|
||
|
||
Syrus gives James a long,
|
||
|
||
blank stare. “Grow up, James.”
|
||
|
||
“I know it, you know it.”
|
||
|
||
“James. Seriously, stop it!”
|
||
|
||
“No. Come on, ask her out!”
|
||
|
||
“No!”
|
||
|
||
“Yes!” James pulls Syrus
|
||
|
||
off the floor and leads him out of the
|
||
|
||
apartment. James drags Syrus down
|
||
|
||
the street toward the address of 3346
|
||
|
||
Fourth Street. Sure enough, a Book Shop
|
||
|
||
is here.
|
||
|
||
The shop is entitled “Sarah’s
|
||
|
||
Book Temple.” They walk in.
|
||
|
||
“Hey, Sarah.” James says.
|
||
|
||
“Hi guys. What’s up?” Sarah
|
||
|
||
says.
|
||
|
||
“Syrus here,” James shoves
|
||
|
||
Syrus forward, “has a little confession to
|
||
|
||
make to you.”
|
||
|
||
“H-h-hi, Sarah.” Syrus says,
|
||
|
||
nervous.
|
||
|
||
“Hi, Syrus.” Sarah answers.
|
||
|
||
“Ahem... Sarah, umm, will
|
||
|
||
you go out with me?”
|
||
|
||
“Sure, Syrus. I’d like that.”
|
||
|
||
Syrus is suddenly relieved.
|
||
|
||
“Wow, Syrus, for being such a
|
||
|
||
tough guy, you almost choked back
|
||
|
||
there.”
|
||
|
||
“Heh, James: Leave!”
|
||
|
||
“Okay, hehe..” James quietly
|
||
|
||
leaves. A half-hour passes and then
|
||
|
||
Syrus comes out of the library.
|
||
|
||
“So, what happened?” James
|
||
|
||
says.
|
||
|
||
“None of your business,
|
||
|
||
James!” Syrus says.
|
||
|
||
Syrus looks down the road and sees
|
||
|
||
Synan and Zoe walking toward them, holding
|
||
|
||
hands.
|
||
|
||
“Hey, Syrus! Guess what!” Zoe says.
|
||
|
||
“Let me guess, you and Synan are
|
||
|
||
going out now, right?” Syrus guesses.
|
||
|
||
“Uggh! How’d you know??” Zoe asks.
|
||
|
||
“It was pretty obvious, but guess what!”
|
||
|
||
“What?” Zoe asks.
|
||
|
||
“I’m going out with Sarah, the Book
|
||
|
||
Temple girl!”
|
||
|
||
“Good job Syrus!” Synan says, “Maybe
|
||
|
||
now you can get FREE shipments of Hooked
|
||
|
||
on Phonics!”
|
||
|
||
Syrus punches Synan really hard in the
|
||
|
||
shoulder.
