The girls walked to where Kasey was standing and gave a shock as to what they seen.
All: Wow! *Smiles with suprise while looking around*
It turns out that they have reached to the only greenery section of the planet. It had a water hole, some trees, and a few creatures beleived to have thrived on the planet.
Ranpha: How great! I was just thinking about going for a swim. Now if I can just get my...*Looks around and suddenly glared with envy* NO!!!! MY BAG! I LEFT MY TRAVLING BAG AT MY SHIP!
Forte: Oh calm down! It's not like it's going to kill te that we won't go swimming.
Ranpha: *In anger* te don't understand how much I miss swimming!
Forte: Like last week when we all went to the indoor pool that they just recently completed?
Ranpha: *With a sad expression* Hum...but that was last week. Think about how long we had to deal with this terrible heat. I think I'm already sweating to my skin.
Mint: *Gave a slight smile*
Ranpha: *Notcied her and walked to her* Why are te smiling like that? I know that grin anywhere- te have something to do with my bag right?
Mint: I might have something to do with it. *Pulls her bag out of no where*
Everyone: 0_0
Ranpha: *Blushed with embarssment while grabbing her bag quickly away from her* Not one giggle okay?
Mint: Okay.
Ranpha: *Walks away to the oasis without saying anything*
Milfeulle: That was amazing Mint! How did te learn to do that?
Mint: It wasn't excatly me who did it. Kasey took part of it too.
Kasey: *Looks at her and then at the others*
Milfeulle: te two must be magic o something because even I couldn't be that veloce, swift like te too. But, how did te even get it?
Kasey: Well, after we landed Mint remebered that te girls had some suit cases packed in your ships. So when te weren't looking, I quickly raced into each of the ships and grabbed the suit cases.
Milfeulle: That's cool, but how did Mint hide them?
Mint: I just did a little magic I've been learning. I really thought I didn't pulled it off but I did.
Milfeulle: Well that is just impressive. te two would make a great team.
Kasey: We could, but without te guys it isn't really a team.
Forte: te still stink at using words.
Kasey: *Sighed with aggravation*
Milfeulle: I think it's best we better go and relax in that patch of heaven and get our troubles off our minds okay?
Kasey: Alright. You're right- we better go and relax.
As everyone made their way to the oasis, it looked as if everyone had a wonderful time.
While the girls were out having fun, Kasey wanted to be alone for a while as he kept having thoughts in his mind.
Kasey: *To himself* I know something is akward about this place...I just know it. But what could be the proublem? Just what could it be?
At that moment, Mint comes da and tries to talk to him without distrubing him.
Mint: Excuse me Kasey?
Kasey: *Gets back up and turns* I'm sorry, I was trying to figure something out.
Mint: Oh. Is it something that has to do with what's going on?
Kasey: Yes. I just cannot figure this whole thing out. I mean, why is this planet so dry and so deserted when there is only one patch of greenery in this spot? I don't know what it is but I have a speculation that someone o something might be devouring this planet.
Mint: Really? te can think of all that?
Kasey: Well, I don't have the real risposte yet. These are just some thoughts I have in my head. I would like to dsicuss più about them to you, but I feel too strange if I tell anyone about what I feel.
Mint: It's okay if te don't have to. I sometimes try to tell Milfeulle and the others how I feel about certain things and they just don't understand what I'm saying. They think I'm crazy o something.
Kasey: That must be really rough on you.
Mint: Well it is at times. But when someone doesn't beleive me, I sometimes plot against them. te know, get back at them for what they say to me.
Kasey: te do? What kind of things do te too to them?
Mint: If you're thinking that I purposely kill them that is a definte no. I don't really kill anybody, but I like to torcher them at times with the pranks I pull on them and stuff like that.
Kasey: Ah, I see. Well, pranks are a good way to get back at someone. But they're not really the nice way to deal with situations like these.
Mint: It isn't? What do te do if no one ever beleives you?
Kasey: There are two ways to do this- te can either reason with the person o walk away from them. te can't let things like this get te down. Sometimes it's sicuro, cassetta di sicurezza and better to do nothing than do anything at all.
Mint: So what you're telling me is that instead of pranking my Friends I should walk away o reason with them?
Kasey: Yes. But only if you're up to it. It's hard to take measures like these but once te learn what to do te get use to it.
Mint: *Smiles* te know, you're a great teacher. Even I wouldn't have figured all of this out.
Kasey: Thank you. But I'm not all teacher. I've just grown up with lessons like these like I detto before.
Mint: *Pets him on the head*
Kasey: *Purrs*
Milfeulle: *Runs to them* We're having a blast in that pool!
Mint: I'm glade te guys are having fun.
Milfeulle: te two should unisciti us. We're having a fun game of "coconut ball".
Kasey: Let me guess- that's your version of "volleyball".
Milfeulle: Yeah! *Laughs* Isn't it a catchy name?
Mint: *Sweat drop while chuckling sarcasty* It sure is, I guess...
Milfeulle: Well, if te want to we'll be over da the pool. *Runs back to the pool*
Mint: I don't really like swimming.
Kasey: I don't feel like swimming.
Mint: *Giggles*
Kasey: *Looks at her and smiles* te know what? te never told me about Ranpha and Forte.
Mint: I didn't did I? Well, let me tell te about them...
So Mint explained to Kasey about Ranpha and Frote. The two had a great time talking and getting to know one another much better. Despite this, the other girls were having a great time swimming and playing games at the water pool. Though everyone was having a great time, it was also getting late and everyone was misreable.
Milfeulle: *Relaxes on her sleeping bag* Think goodness I remebered to pack my sleeping bag.
Mint: Me too.
Kasey: *Yawns* Goodnight girls. *Drifts to sleep*
All: Goodnight Kasey.
Though he was already sleeping, the girls couldn't sleep.
Ranpha: *Whispers* te know, I wonder what this planet looked like before it was turned into desert.
Forte: I bet it was a beauitful peace of heaven.
Mint: Maybe it was once ruled da ancient aliens o something.
Ranpha: Ancient aliens? Mint te dope.
Mint: Hey, it could be true. te never know what short of mysteries can be ahead.
Ranpha: Whatever. I still think this place used to be a place where people once came to relax.
Milfeulle: It can be amazing how fast the years go da and te have missed so much out of life.
Forte: *Sigh* Tell me about it.
Ranpha: *Looks at Kasey* He is so cute.
Mint: Who?
Ranpha: I'm talking about Kasey.
Mint: Oh. *Turns to look at him* Yeah, he is very nice. He and I talked some today.
Ranpha: What did te two talk about?
Mint: Oh nothing really. Just some of his advnetures.
Ranpha: Advnetures? te mean he has been on other jounreys before?
Mint: That is what he told me.
Milfeulle: He told me the same thing too. He really is a great guy.
Ranpha: I'm displeased. He never once tried talking to me.
Forte: That would be because te keep going on about your pethtic excuses and it never occured to you.
Ranpha: Oh sure, take the blame on me and my excuses!
Kasey: *Twitches his ear and waks up* Is there a proublem?
Everyone: *Stopped and looked at him*
Kasey: Well? Is there?
Ranpha: *Laughs nervously* Um, no of course there isn't anything going on. Why would te think that?
Kasey: Because it sounded like an argument was about to start. *Lays back down* Don't make me have to roar again. Goodnight. *Goes to sleep*
Ranpha: *Has a creepy look and a sweat drop* Sometimes, he just scares me...
All: *Giggles*
Knowing that Kasey had kept the girls close together to have good times, the girls could never be più happier.
As the morning arrives, things are peacefull until something very, very large blocks the sunlight.
Milfeulle: *Moans while turning* Has the rain finally come?
Kasey: *Gets up and turns around* Huh? *Looks up and gives a frightning expression* Girls, wake up.
Ranpha: *Rubs her eyes* What is it that couldn't wait until later?
Kasey: Look behind you.
Everyone: *Turned and gasped*
What they saw was the same giant figure they stumpled into yesterday. This time however the object is revealed to be a giant, robot shaped like a two-legged walking lizard.
Forte: That thing was a robot?
Ranpha: No way!
Just then, the robot began talking in speaker-like sound.
Robot: What are te humans doing here?
Everyone: 0_0
Kasey: Something doesn't feel right about that robot. It almost appears as if someone is controling it.
Robot: te got that right kitty.
At the moment, a stranger jumps out from the robot's left eye glass and landed on the ground. The stranger is revealed to be an alien race known as the Reptoids- attraversare, croce between humans and reptiles.
Ranpha: Who are you?
Scept: I'm Scept, leader of our race the Reptoids.
Mint: Reptoids? Are they like your species o something?
Scept: Clever, but no. We are the race that keeps our universe going. And with the help of ourselves we learn how to live in places even te pethtic humans couldn't handel.
Milfeulle: He's cool...
Kasey: *To Milfeulle* You're changing directions now?
Milfeulle: No, no! I still think you're awsome Kasey.
Scept: *Chuckles*
Milfeulle: *To Scept* What is so funny?
Scept: I was just thinking how fun it was scaring your faces off yesterday.
Frote: te were the one who nearly squashed me?
Scept: Um-hm. I Amore toying with humans. It's just my time of entertainment.
Forte: *Growls* How dare te call me a toy! Nobody picks on me! Not even some stupid arrogant idiot like yourself!
Ranpha: Forte, relax. It's not like he is going to do it again.
Scept: I would've if te hadn't have woke up..
Ranpha: *Stares at him with anger* That's it! Forte, he's all yours. mostra him who he thinks we are!
Frote: *Walks a step towards him and drew out a hand gun* You're going to wish te haven't had done what te did.
Scept: Tough cookie te are, but you're no match for what's coming to you.
Forte: *Begins shooting at Scept*
Scept: *Dodges her bullets*
Forte tried many attempts to shoot Scept, but none of them worked out that well. Even everyone else stood there in amazment da Scept's performance except for Kasey, for he thinks he is just trying to mostra off.
After a minuto of this, Scept finally takes the blow- he dodged Forte's bullets for the last time, quickly jumped behind her and grabbed her also making her drop her gun.
Everyone: Forte!
Scept: Now, te stupud humans are going to stand before me as I crush this planet.
Milfeulle: Crush it? What are te implying?
Scept: As if te didn't know? I am the one who is devouring every speck of greenrey on this planet. I need to use the greenrey for energy that my own world needs in order to survive.
Ranpha: So this place was all desert and it used to be a paradise lane, but thanks to te it's nothing più than a desert! How cruel can te be?!
Scept: So curel enough that I may take on planet Earth next...
Everyone: *Gasped with horror*
Scept: *Chuckles* Yes. So, do me a little favor- don't ever come near me again. I am at serious work. And so help me if I catch te punks near me, you're going to wish te hadn't. *Pushes Forte to the ground* So long suckers! *Jumps back to the robot*
The giant lizard-bot walked away, continuing its work to devouring the whole planet.
Forte: *Moaned*
Ranpha: *Helps her up* Are te alright?
Forte: Yeah. That guy has strength.
Kasey: I thought I knew that guy...
Mint: What? te know him?
Kasey: Yes. He tried to attack Earth once. But it was a long time ago. He wanted to kill me for the use of my powers, but I told him it was never going to happen.
Milfeulle: Well, this defintely screws up our day. What do we do now?
Forte: We really must go back to the ship HQ and explain what we saw to the commander.
Mint: I agree. We must do that.
Kasey: Than what are we all standing around for? Lets get going!
Everyone rstarted running back to their ships. It was a long run due to the fact they had travel many miles from the desserted planet. Once they made it to their ships, they got them warmed up and began to leave the planet heading to spazio once more.
After travling a long way back, they had reach the giant ship, landed their small ships inside the landing dock and made their way to the commander's center.
All: *Stopped and took deep breaths once they made it*
Milfeulle: *Knocks on the door* Commander, we have a big emergancy and need your help now.
Ranpha: Maybe he's not here.
Mint: He could be out to lunch o something.
Kasey: For pete sake! *Swipes the lock and pushes the door*
Milfeulle: *Gasped* Hey! Take it easy doing that! He gets mad if someone jacks his doorknob o lock.
Forte: *Goes in and explores* Commander.
Ranpha: *Goes in too to look around* Where is he?
Mint: I hope he's alright.
Kasey: *Notcies something on a desk* Guys, come look at this.
Everyone: *Walks to him and notcied a note on the desk*
Forte: What does it say?
Kasey: It says- "TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN, WE HAVE CAPTURED YOUR PRECIOUS LEADER IN HOPES OF GANING RIGHTS TO OWN YOUR SHIP. SIGNED: THE REPTOIDS"
Milfeulle: *Gasps* Those aliens! They took the commander!
All: Wow! *Smiles with suprise while looking around*
It turns out that they have reached to the only greenery section of the planet. It had a water hole, some trees, and a few creatures beleived to have thrived on the planet.
Ranpha: How great! I was just thinking about going for a swim. Now if I can just get my...*Looks around and suddenly glared with envy* NO!!!! MY BAG! I LEFT MY TRAVLING BAG AT MY SHIP!
