Chapter 5 continued
As Astro finished it up, Abercrombie looked over at his paper, and whispered: "Who... or what is That with you?" He whispered.
Atom: hmmm? oh, That's Suru, I'm trying to learn how to draw her.... [Atom Whispered back.]
Abercrombie:
her? So, it's a girl... but... what is she...?
Atom: A shape shifting wolf.
Abercrombie tried to hold in his laughter.
Abercrombie: You have some imagination Astro!
Atom: ...but I didn't
imagine her, She's real.
Abercrombie: that's preposterous! Shape shifting beings are only from the moon right?
Atom: To my knowledge... yes...
Abercrombie: then how could
she possibly live here on earth? She'd die without Luminite! and there isn't anymore.
Atom: ...true... it is strange.... but, I am telling the truth.
Abercrombie: you've never lied to me before... so, i don't doubt you, but I need some proof that your not just making this up.
Atom: alright, so, why not come over to my place tonight, She's there.
Abercrombie: ok.
The final bell rang and the class room kids started to disperse out into the hallways.
Atom: See you there!
Atom grabbed his books out of his locker and threw his back-pack over his shoulders. Then he got to thinking:
(why not let all of my friends meet her?)
So, he walked out of the school building and as soon as he was off school property, he activated his rocket boots and blast off towards Alejo's house.
When Atom arrived, he knocked on the door lightly, a familiar voice rose.
"who is it?"
Atom: It's me, Astro! open up, I have something to ask you!
Alejo opened the door and let him in, luckily for Astro, Kennedy was spending the night at Alejo's house.
Atom: good! your both here!
Kennedy: Sup Astro? what did you want to ask us?
Atom: I have a new friend, and I thought it would be nice if you guys came over to meet her.
Alejo: where does she live?
Atom: well, she lives with me.
Alejo and Ken were both silent for a moment.
Kennedy: She lives with you? Why's that?
Atom: I'll explain later, is it alright if you come over for a while?
Alejo: I'll have to Ask mom first.
Atom: ok.
Alejo didn't bother getting up, instead he just yelled for her.
Alejo: HEY MOM??
Alejo's mother: Yes, what is it?
Alejo: IS IT ALRIGHT IF KEN, AND I GO TO ASTRO'S HOUSE LATER TONIGHT??
Alejo's mother: I don't see why not.
Alejo: yessssss~!
We'll be there Astro.
Atom smiled.
Atom: alright, say around 5?
Alejo: Sounds good.
Atom headed out the door.
Kennedy: See ya' later bud!
Atom: see ya!
Astro ran right home, but when he got there he opened the door to see Dr. Oshea taking blood tests on Suru.
Atom: what's going on?
Oshea: well, Suru and I both had questions about where she came from, and how she can morph, so we decided to take a little blood test to anilize her genetic make up.
Atom: ooh, I see.
Suru looked away while Oshea stuck a needle in her arm.
Suru: ...sorry... i can't stand needles...
Oshea: it's alright, i know the feeling.
Atom sat down beside Suru on the couch.
Oshea and Suru: So how was School?
Atom: got finished with my report early, as usual. and, I invited Abercrombie, Ken, and Alejo over tonight, is that alright?
Oshea looked a bit nervous.
Oshea: we can't let them know about her.
Suru looked at him.
Suru: and why not?
Atom: yeah... why can't they see her?
Oshea: we don't know what she is... and if word get's out that she's here Tawashi could show up... and he'll make a big deal out of it I'm sure.
Atom: they can keep a secret. honest. They're my friends Oshea, they wouldn't do anything like that.
Oshea: ... alright... if you say so... but remember... Suru's your responsibility, if anything happens to her, its your ordeal.
Suru: Ahem. Don't think me rude, but, I'm not a pet...
Oshea: I know your not, i just don't want another epidemic brought on my shoulders... I'm getting to old for this stuff...
Atom: oooh~ your not old~
Oshea smiles a bit.
Suru: what do you mean by... epidemic... am i missing something...?
Atom wasted no time telling her all about his adventures, about everything, every adventure he's ever had, about how he got all of his amazing powers, his quarrel with Tenma, and his forgiveness in the end. but, the story telling took longer than expected, the door bell rang, atom looked inside of his chest, at his "internal clock" 5:09. His friends had arrived.
