"Well…." He glanced down at the ball, and then outside– it was getting quite dark, and Megan always never wanted to stay out too late in case he got "kidnapped" or hurt extremely badly. "I think we should stay inside for the rest of the day… But otherwise, I'm not too sure."
"Hmmm well that doesn't help much" said Rio thoughtfully, "Do you 2 have any Ideas?" he asked the others, Both of them shook their heads.. "Nope" they both said.
"Then maybe we can just relax and watch some television or something…" Tobias was curious on why he was suddenly in a mood for relaxing, yet he went along with it.
Firiko and Rio Immediately looked to Skye for an explanation and he shrugged, "I don't know everything guys" he said "Um… What's a Tv?" he asked turning to Tobias,
"It's a machine that turns radio wave signals into images that project on the screen here," Tobias turned the thing on, and it wasn't long until a television show was playing on the screen. "Many many people have one, and they use it a whole lot… Although Megan only uses it to watch the news…."
"Uh huh.." Skye was still confused, as were the other two, "Not sure what radio waves are…. but ok…"
"It gets more and more complicated…" Tobias grinned a little. "I would explain, but most people don't really care about what goes on with the science behind it… They just want to watch." It's too bad they dont get to have things like these… Yet, being a couch potato isn't the best thing either…
the trio followed tobias into the next room where they saw a black window jutting out from the wall, Rio crashed on the nearby couch and made himself comfortable in a corner, Firiko took a seat on the floor, his wings curling around him.
Tobias watched them get a bit settled, and he let himself relax as well. Today was a bit rough with the car crash and all, but tomorrow was about to get a bit worse for him.
Megan finished with her laundry, and headed back upstairs to see all of them in the living room watching something on TV. I'm surprised how well they all get along… "Tobias," She said to him, "Remember, you have school again tomorrow, and you need to get to bed on time… But also I have a meeting tomorrow morning, so I won't be able to walk you to school…"
"I could walk him if you'd like" said Skye, "I was wanting to explore the city a bit more on my own anyway." he said.
"Well, that's great!" She smiled. "It's not that he can't go to school by himself, it's just I'm afraid that he'll get in some serious trouble…"
Tobias glanced at Skye. "I should be fine as long as I have someone with me."
Skye smiled, "It's no problem" he said.
(Skip til morning?)
(Surrrereree!)
Tobias woke up, and it was 6:30 in the morning. He got out of bed and wandered downstairs where Megan was fluffing around with all her stuff. "I'm gonna be late again…" She muttered, and she saw him come down and told him, "Remember, don't leave the house without Skye and make sure you have all your stuff… Which reminds me that you should get the stuff you missed yesterday because of that incident… Remind Skye also to help me with writing and that a little later today… And just don't forget to do your chores when you get home! I'll see you later!"
And she was out the door.
Sometimes, I feel like she should get a different job… Tobias frowned a little.
Skye watched as she left, "Well I'm good to go as soon as you are" he said cheerfully. "I taught Firiko the process you taught me last night, so He'll take over the writing. I will be out most of the day and depending on what I find I might not be back until much later." he said, knowing Megan would worry he had neglected to tell her this but he figured he'd better tell someone.
(Btw I will be going soon and won't be back for awhile, (blame the fitness test I have to do today))
(That's understandable, yah. Return when you feels. Your body might be dead, but hopefully not your brain.)
"That's alright. I'll tell her when I get the chance." Tobias pulled some juice out of the fridge. "Which will probably when I get home… Are you sure you don't want anything to eat before we leave? It'll be some time– I still have to get dressed and such…"
"Kid I've been up since the sun rose" said Skye with a laugh, "I had breakfast with Megan!"
Firiko and Rio poked their heads in from the living room, "He's not the only one Tobias," said Firiko, "We've all been up for ages"
Tobias smiled awkwardly. "Alright then…" How can they get up that early voluntarily? They don't have anywhere to go… Except that Skye needs to walk me to school… But what can I expect? For them to behave the same way we do??? They are from a different world after all… He went upstairs and took care of himself before returning back downstairs with his stuff. "I should be able to go in a minute or two…"
" Take your time kiddo" said Skye. "I'm in no hurry"
"I would take my time, but I like to get there a little early so I'm not too rushed when I get there…" Tobias drank the juice he set out for himself and saddled up. "Alright… I think I'm ready to head out."
"Lead the way!" Said Skye with a sweeping bow as he opened the door.
Tobias smiled brightly. "No need for a grand exit– or entrance, one of the two…" He made sure Skye shut the door before they were on their way down the street. Hopefully, today will be a better day for me and everyone else….
Skye followed Tobias down the street noting alleyways, people, shops, etc. as they went. "So what do you do in school my freind?" He asked Tobias.
"All we do is get taught the simple things in life to help contribute to the human race progress as a society, I suppose…." Tobias wasn't really sure how to explain it in more basic terms. "…I mean… I already know most of the stuff that my classmates are just getting introduced to, and it makes me the slightest irritated that I'm getting taught something I already know." When will Megan let me test out of all those pointless classes???
"Well It's probably better than trying to catch up on everything everyone else your age already knows and you don't" he knowingly, Trying to catch up is an understatement…. Especially when I have to lead the people who require me to know the stupid info! I mean who even cares about the lineage of the Nightshade Riders?? he thought knowing his younger brothers would quiz him mercilessly when he got back, weather he'd studied or not.
"That's true… And then all the kids might just flock to me for answers…" He shrugged his shoulders. "It's how people are. They just want the easy way out most of the time." They turned a corner, and the school was easily in sight. "And look at that– we're already here."
