Tsubasa and Black Ninja: Fairy Tail: Next Generation

Trex resisted the urge to yell at the Exceed. He had no idea who this Gyastu was but unlike the dragon slayer, Trex did not like the fact the little guy was messing around in his hair. He gently took hold of the guy and set him on the bed. “Sure,” He conceded with a sigh. “Just stay out of my hair.”

It had been a long day so Trex decided to turn in. Not bothering to change, he propped some of the hay up and laid down.

It was strange really. Not so much the exceed nearby; he was used to sleeping with others around. But it was strange to be back on his family’s barn, laying back and looking at the stars from the skylight the brothers had put in several years back. These stars had been a beacon to him, reminding him of his goals. It was good to be back here. He had achieved so much since he last lay here and he was sure that he would achieve so much more by the time he was here again.

The exhaustion from the day kicked in and he shut his eyes. “Night Bodo.” He stated out of politeness.

Sleep took him quickly.

Trex was up bright and early. Heading down the ladder, he quickly found his dad already working at the morning chores. Trex quickly joined in. He smirked as Sanders brushed in a bit later, sleep still in his eyes. Considering he was going to be taking over the farm someday, he was not really a morning person.

“Your new girlfriend is an early riser too.” Sanders noted shaking his head. “Is there anyone who likes to sleep in?” He grumbled.

Trex smirked. “Remind me to introduce you to a few guild members.” He stated. “Besides, you really should be a morning person. What’s the matter? Stay up late with Zelia?”
He really did not know what happened after Sanders escorted Zelia to her room but he had no worries. Their mother had raised them well and Sanders would have been a perfect gentleman.

Sanders rubbed his eyes and grabbed an armload of wood. “She seems quite taken with me.” He shot back, quickly waking up.

Trex shook his head and followed his brother and father inside. Nodding to Zelia, he deposited the wood into the wood bin and kissed his mother good morning. Excusing himself, he headed back outside to get Bodo. His luck is they would accidently forget the exceed and leave him behind. He smiled. Sanders was not the only one who slept in late.
-
Finished up with his washing, Sanders sat down next to Zelia at the table, fully awake. Though not as quick as the rest of the family, he was usually awake and ready by time breakfast started. “I trust you slept well,” He stated it more as an inquiry than actual statement. At her affirmation, he smiled. “Everyone says females love sleeping in but all the ones I know are usually up before I am. What time did you get up this morning?” He asked.

Rats. :( That's not fun.
Have you found anything else?

Two freaky episodes huh? Nice! You just wanted to give yourself little rest. Make you cranky.

- I wanted to pop in and say I haven't forgotten. It's hard finding time. During the week I'm usually tired when I get home (and do my walk and everything else...).
Weekends I'm either tired or busy. I do plan on getting a post up but I just wanted to let you know so you don't freak out.
I know I haven't been really consistent and I can't promise I'll be weekly.
I enjoy our RP but I'd understand if you want to discontinue it.

Tsubasa and Black Ninja: Fairy Tail: Next Generation

They were still talking when Bodo woke up. Trex nodded and stepped out of Zelia's way as she headed toward the kitchen. Waiting until she left, he looked at his brother. "How is it really?" He asked, his voice hushed.

He quickly learned how bad the situation was. It was as he had been hearing. It was going to be a rough year for his family. Already calculating how he could best assist, he nodded toward his brother. "We'll work through it." He promised.

Seeing Bodo flying over, Trex knew that the conversation was over for now but the good news was he got the information he needed. He would have to contact Peeter later and let him know but he would worry about that later.

As the exceed entered the room, Trex stifled a sigh as the little guy attached to him. Seriously? It wasn't that he did not like the exceed. And the little guy was cute, though he would never admit that out loud. But still. Now his brother had a bunch more ammunition to hit him with. And when Peeter found out about this... He was never going to hear the end of this.

Glancing at Trex with amusement, Sanders looked toward Zelia. "Nothing much." He told her. A serious look crossed his face. "You both should get some rest." He declared. "You had a long walk to get here and you both have to be exhausted." He gave Zelia a slight bow. "If you but follow me I will show you your royal chamber." He told her.

Also noting Zelia's yawn, Trex straightened. "That's a good idea." He said stretching. He knew that Zelia would probably not want them to stop just on her account. If she thought he was as tired as her she would not offer as much protest, if any. Besides, he was tired as well. He frowned slightly and looked around the room. His parents never did come out. He glanced at Sanders. "Did Pa and Ma turn in?" He inquired.

Pausing at the entrance of the hallway, Sanders glanced back. "Probably. You know how they are. They realize you're tired so instead of keeping you up half the night talking, they just turn in early and leave it at that."

Trex nodded. It made sense. His parents were always looking out for them. He nodded to Zelia. "Goodnight." He told her. He watched her head down the hall before looking down at the exceed. "I guess that means you are with me." He declared. "Come on. I'll show you were to sleep." Not that the little guy was tired. He had been sleeping the entire time. Trex shook his head. Were exceed nocturnal? As they walked, Trex glanced at him. "You don't have to turn in now." He told Bodo. "This is just so you know where to sleep when you are ready. We don't have much around here, but help yourself. Don't feel like you have to turn in because everyone else is."

[Universe 1]

It was not that hard finding the young woman. The funny thing was she was easier to find than Jen. Not that the Doctor was too worried. Jen was a big girl and could handle herself. Undoubtedly she would get into some mischief but overall be alright. Besides, curiosity was driving him. Why had the young woman told him not to answer the phone? What did she know?

It did not make a lot of sense. The TARDIS phone was not working. Hadn't been for some time. It had gotten broken during his last regeneration and he hadn't taken the time to fix it. It wasn't like anyone was going to call him anyway. Most of his companions from previous regenerations had moved no. That was alright with him. It was time. It was his time as well. Technically, he hadn't had a companion since before the war. At least not until Jen came along. Therefore, there had been no need to fix the phone. It wasn't like the High Council of Gallifrey or anyone else from the war called him using that device. And since the war...well... No reason to fix it either.

He shook his head. All that did not matter at the moment. Watching his query head down another street the Doctor moved forward to intercept. Someone called out to him but he ignored it as he saw the woman duck into a house. Moving forward to catch her he stopped when someone grabbed his coat. Turning he glared at the interruption. The young man in front of him gave him an enormous smile and held out his hand. Ignoring it, the Doctor listened as the man said she was worried. He looked at Jen and was going to say something when the young man continued. The Doctor was about to shut him down but stopped when the man said something about an offer. "Yeah, sure. Hold that thought." He said before turning his attention back to Jen. "Where have you been?" He inquired. "We're in the middle of a London Blitz. It's not a good time for a stroll." Companions were funny things sometimes. Always running off and getting into things they knew nothing about. He wondered if Jen knew what little "offer" this man had. When she came back with a smart aleck reply but no additional information about the offer, he turned to the man.

"Alright. I'm listening." He said crossing his arms. There was something off about this man. He did not seem to be from around here. When he started in about some Chula worship the Doctor just stared at him, face impassive. So he was right. The man was not from here. He was human but not from this time. It raised a bunch of questions but the Doctor refrained from asking them. Instead he raised an eyebrow. He had been around the block a few times and this man was clearly up to something. Everything was off. He was trying to hard to be pleasurable. Not to mention that his "offer" seemed a bit to good to be true. "What kind of worship?" He inquired.

This seemed to get the young man flustered. Glancing briefly toward the house the Doctor turned and looked back at the man. The young woman could be gone by time they finished talking. How had Jen found this man in the first place? He glanced at her briefly while her associate tried to brush aside the question. "I can't make a purchase without knowing the details." The Doctor stated looking back at the man, his mind putting together the details. London Blitz. Time traveler trying to sell a "to-good-to-be-true" product. He was no fool. When the guy finally gave in and showed them the "worship" and confessed the Doctor listened patiently until he finished explaining before turning to Jen. "Let's go." He said leaving the young man hanging.

The good news was that he knew what had fallen. The fact that this guy had a bomb set to destroy it meant the Doctor did not have to go clean up a mess. That meant he could turn his attention to more important things. Like why did the phone ring? What did the young woman know?

Regrettably, the young man was not finished with them. Stopping again, the Doctor gave up hoping the woman was still around. The air raid was almost over and he had a feeling she would be long gone. The way she ducked into the house suggested she did not live there. The fact that he had not been keeping attention on the house and that there was undoubtedly a back entrance meant she could have easily left by now. Sighing he looked back at the man. "What is it this time?" He asked. He did not like con artists and the fact that this man was still here wasting his time annoyed him.

[Universe 2]

Time seemed to go by fairly quickly. The woman, Sky, talked for a bit about her ex, her life and everything else that seemed to go wrong. It was interesting really. Summer did not see herself as the type to be really sympathetic or caring but people seemed to think that about her and confide in her. It was a bit awkward but as all she had to do was listen, she just nodded as needed.

Thankfully, after some time Sky wound down. They both sat in silence a few minutes before the professor took it as his duty to educate everyone on the planet. It was actually a bit interesting. A planet so toxic that they had to remain in inclosed spaces. It was actually fascinating for Summer. The human race had come so far. One could still see beauty without the deadly consequences. Without this vehicle or even the original setup, they would not be able to see the beautiful diamond waterfalls. And if they were as good as she heard, that would have been a shame.

The lecture concluded and soon all the conversation faded. Without a lot of things to do, four hours could drag on. Seeing that Sky was busy in her book, Summer rose to go join the Doctor when the shuttle stopped suddenly. Catching herself she glanced around, her face mirroring the confusion on the faces of everyone else. Everyone that is except the Doctor. He just got straight up and headed toward the engine. Summer started to follow but he motioned for her to remain. Showing some piece of paper and giving some bull about being an inspector he bluffed his way past the stewardess. Standing awkwardly, Summer glanced toward the rest of the passengers.

The momentary silence broke as everyone started bombarding the stewardess with questions. Why had they stopped? What was going on? Was there enough air to survive? The poor woman tried to answer but it was obviously clear she had no idea. Taking a deep breath Summer stepped into the aisle. "Alright, everyone calm down." She said with more confidence than she felt. Standing in front of a group of people and trying to convince them everything was going to be fine was not something she was comfortable with but the Doctor had motioned her to stay behind. Undoubtedly he knew this was going to happen. Even if he didn't, Summer did not want to let him down by doing nothing while everyone panicked. "The Doctor is going investigating right now. We just need to be calm and wait patiently until he gets back." She sure hoped he had a good explanation. Otherwise they were in trouble.

"Who is this Doctor?" Biff demanded. "What's he know?"

Summer glanced at the much larger man. "A lot." She replied. "Let's just say if there's any trouble he'll be able to handle it."

A bunch more questions shot out at her before she interrupted them. "Enough. Worrying will not help anything." She declared annoyed. She was concerned too. The fact that they stopped suddenly without explanation meant something was amiss. But at least she kept control of her emotions. Gee, you think that she was in a room full of kids. Then again, they might be easier as they would probably believe. Sometimes adults were so...frustrating. Taking a deep breath she motioned with her hands for them to calm. "Everything will be alright. We just need to be calm and patient."

Honestly, she did not know how it was going to turn out. But she had learned already that no matter what happened or was going to happen she was fine. The Doctor was here and he would keep her safe.

Thankfully, Dee-Dee backed her up. "She's right. We should be calm and wait for him to come out and give us the explanation." She smiled nervously at Summer. "And the filters can keep this vehicle with enough oxygen to last for days."

Returning the smile with a nod of encouragement, Summer sighed in relief as they calmed down. "That's right. There is no serious issues. There probably isn't anything to major to worry about."

That's when the Doctor came out. Quickly brushing aside some of the worried questions, he proceeded to sidetrack them. Summer stared at him as it apparently started to work. How he did it was beyond her but these same people who were ready to bombard him with questions seemed content to let him go off on a story. Of course it did not help that it was Biff's story originally and the man seemed pleased to be at the center of attention.

That's when everything turned for the worse. The knock jolted her. The Doctor quickly shushed everyone and they listened. The knock came again. Summer watched as the Doctor went over and knocked four times on the wall. There was a pause and then there was four knocks. People started to get nervous and even Summer felt the chill run down her spine. What was out there? Suddenly the back door rattled. Whatever it was was trying to get in. Summer glanced toward the Doctor. She would be safe. She was fine. He would take care of her.

"Make it stop!" Summer quickly looked over. Sky was standing and looking toward the door, her eyes showing her terror. "She said she'd get me. Stop it. Somebody make it stop. Don't just stand there looking at me. It's not my fault." She clearly started to hyperventilate, her fear increasing.

Moving toward her, Summer tried to calm her down. "It's alright." She said. "Everything will..."

"Leave me alone. Stop. She's coming for me. She's coming." The older woman had clearly lost it. Terror had replaced all sense of reason. She pushed Summer back causing the younger woman to fall. Thankfully, that turned out to be a good thing.

The vehicle suddenly rocked and the lights flickered before blacking out. When they came back on, Sky was huddled in the corner and the seats where Summer had been had been uprooted.

Doctor Who: Multi-Dimensional

Yeah probably. He's like that.

How's the job hunt going? Did the theater job pan out?

Also, I'm going to be working on a reply in the next few minutes.
Sorry for the delay. These days seem to be flying. So many things to do. I come on and see how long it's been sitting here and go O_o
I will have something for you today (baring emergencies)

Doctor Who: Multi-Dimensional

Definitely. Trying to start something is always the hardest. Though I think I have an idea on how to start Nine. It should be good. Though Jack might be a bit annoyed

Overqualified? For sandwiches? Really? I guess he's afraid that you are going to take off as soon as you get a better offer (which undoubtedly would make sense). Ehh..
Well, I hope you find something. Job hunting is never fun. Especially without any experience (not that you can get experience if someone doesn't give you a chance *sigh*)

Doctor Who: Multi-Dimensional

I won't. Well... Not permanently.

Right now I have a few free minutes. My sister is supervising her kids (making sure they go to sleep).
I'm thinking of working a bit at a time to get a reply up. Maye that way I get something started.

How's the job hunt going?

Tsubasa and Black Ninja: Fairy Tail: Next Generation

Knowing Zelia's was not keen on going into her past, Trex kept an eye on her ready to cut in if Sanders kept pressing. Thankfully, his older brother either picked up the subtle change or got sidetracked - something that happened fairly frequently.

Raising an eyebrow at the "brothers" statement, Sanders did not comment. The look quickly changed and his eyes twinkled. "Another girl huh? Wow." He looked at Trex. "I'm amazed little brother. You are on a team with two females. How are you able to survive?"

"I manage." Trex replied dryly.

Sanders grinned and looked at Zelia. "He's always been a bit of a shy guy. Not seeming to show interest in girls. In fact, he usually avoided them if he could. Tongue tied and shy." He stated. The smile faded and his expression changed to one that showed that he was a little impressed. "You must have been pretty persistent to get him to work with you."

Trex cleared his throat and glanced slightly away. Yeah. Though he would probably use a different word. She was more tenacious, determined, relentless than just plain persistent. Besides, originally it was more the Master's order than hers.

"Enough about us." Trex declared. "How's life around here?" He inquired. They wouldn't have a lot of time before having to head back. Bodo's dragon slayer needed to be found and Flynn and Skye could be heading back any day."

Sanders shrugged. "Not much, really." He began to fill them in in the happenings. Farm life was not really the most exciting for some people so he only touched on the positive, more fun things. The new colt, the litter of kittens. He refrained from talking about the crops and the potential drought. Not only would it strain the mood but it was not something that was discussed with guests around. Trex was family but Zelia, despite being such a nice, caring person and all, was not. And it did not matter what person the guest was, you never burdened others with family matters.

Knowing there was more to it than what Sanders was letting on, Trex just nodded and smiled. He knew that last year had been a bad one and that this year was looking to be just as bad. That meant things would be getting rough here. Trex had heard some things in the market. However, most of it had been snatches here and there. He would have to check with Sanders after Zelia went to bed. Get the full story. Despite the fact he was not going to be a farmer, what happened on this farm meant a lot to him. And if there was a way he could help, he would. This was home and no matter where he was or what he was doing he will always look back at this place.

Doctor Who: Multi-Dimensional

Well - not sure about forever but at least for now. I highly doubt I will go back for a PhD but it is feasible.

Yay! I'll see if I can get a reply up today. My sister is coming in sometime today to visit so we'll see.
I would like to get the reply today before she comes as she'll be here most of the week and most week day evenings have been tiring (40 hours a week is not fun. I need to get adjusted... )

You might not need to give me money but you can just because.
