Subject: Chapter Thirty-One: "Fantasy," or, "Go To Them"

Home again, home again, jiggity-jig. Sigh.

"Boogey! You're home!" *GLOMP!*

Mom's still overprotective...

"Luis, you better've brought me something, you bitch!"

Stephanie's still loud, selfish, bitchy, et cetera...

"Hey, I hope you don't mind that I kept Eddie and Jobo in your room."

Melissa's still raising her little zoo (On the up-side, when Eddie and Jobo grow up, they'll make good eating! ^_^)...

"Mami! We saw Alex kiss her girlfriend! She's skinny as hell!"

And Junior's still Junior. I wish I were back in Georgia. I could hide with J.T. or something, maybe. Why'd my family have to be so damn big? And close-knit? And clingy? The phone rings, and I almost wrestle my mom out of her bear hug to answer it.

"H'lo?"

"Hey, it's Dan."

"Oh, hey, Danny! How'd your mom take everything?"

"Better than I expected. She only slapped me upside th' head and told me to tell her when wierd stuff like this happens first. She also said that if it's only hapening to us at the Turbo Journeys MB, than we should check up on some of the others, like Jim Ohki. That's why I called. Wanna go on a little road trip?"

"HELL, YEAH! When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning. I'll meet you at your place. Try to sneek out before Junior finds out."

"Oh, he sleeps 'till like twelve when he's not in school. Shouldn't be a problem."

"Beautiful! See ya."

"Later." Okay, now I just have to talk to Mom. Sigh.
*****

I walk into Mom's room and wake her. "Oy, Mami."

"Ya, Luis?"

"Mom... There are others changing like me and Junior, y'know? And, Dan and his mom and I think it'd be best to check up on those we haven't seen in Dalton. He's coming tomorrow morning. I'm goin' with him."

"Boogey, why you gotta go?" She's about to cry. Ladfy seriously needs to let go, sometimes. Like, every little change we go through is like we died or something.

"Because there are monsters and stuff out there, and we gotta fight them. we're the only ones who can fight them. Besides..." I almost said I was sick of being smothered by her. I am, but I know that'll just get her more sad.

"I... I... Okay, Luis. But you call me sometimes, 'kay?"

"'Kay." She gives me a wad of cash. Lots of twenties and hundreds.

"Use that for food and hotels. And to wash your clothes."

"I will. Thanks, Mami."
*****

It's morning and Dan's outside in his dad's Thunderbird. Two dufflebags of clothes, washing stuff, my baseball bat (Cuz ya never know.) and my PS2 go in the trunk, and we're off.

"Where to first?" I ask.

"Back to Dalton. There's two people I'm pickin' up first." He winks at me. I get the picture.

"May I do the spell?"

"Please."

"DES LEGRATE MURI TEMPI, ET INTERVALIA!!" And the car disappears, "Back To The Future" Style.
****
(Junior's POV)

Somethin' outside woke me up. Alex and Luis are going away in a car!

THEY LEFT ME!
They lft me with these bicthes!

They'll pay for that...
