Stupid Backwater Planet

[Toboe]

"From all the years I've lived there I've never seen a spider ya know. And yup, of course I wanna do this...I gotta see brother" he smiled.

[blacknautica]

"I don't know. They seem to hear me first and then they're attracted to you once they can smell you." And in my opinion, your brothers crazy. I told him mentally.

[Toboe]

He waved off the whole spider thing. "What?! Wes, crazy? Nope he's perfectly sane. He taught me everything I know, so if he was crazy, then I'd follow his example ya know".

[blacknautica]

I stared at him. "But you are crazy," I informed the small boy.

[Toboe]

He gasped, "I am not! Right Destin, I'm not crazy am I?". He stared at his silent friend.

Destin shrugged, "He seems sane to me".

"See? Even Destin knows that!".

[blacknautica]

"I think your crazy." I grinned at him. "But in a cute way."

[Toboe]

He smiled, "Really? Thanks Zen! ......Buuut, I'm not crazy". He licked out his tongue.

[blacknautica]

"Yeah, you are." I smiled and walked to the boarding ramp. "We're at the edge of the forest now. we should get going."

[Toboe]

"Okay" he and Destin followed behind Zen with their things. "And I'm not crazy" he muttered.

[blacknautica]

"Are too, kiddo." I grinned slightly when I stepped off, finding that the planets giant forest was still the same. I began the trek throught the woods, indicating for Toboe to lead the way.

[Toboe]

"Am not" he walked past Zen and walked through the forest. After a couple of lefts and about 3 or 4 rights, and past a creek, they made it to the large house where Toboe and Wes lived. It was about 3 stories high, firmly built, stable, and there were alot of electronics around. Mostly made by Wes, a few by Toboe. He walked up to the door and knocked three times. "Well, we're here" he said to Zen and Destin, while he waited for someone to open the door.

[blacknautica]

"Fun, fun, fun." I muttered sarcastically.

[Toboe]

Destin stared at Zen and shrugged, "Quit acting so annoyed with the idea, the least you can do is give it a try. I mean, it is Tob's brother, give him a chance, apparently he gave you one".

The door opened and the people who greeted them was Toboe's old friends Alton and his mate Eden. "Hey guys long time no see! Where's Wes?" he asked.

"Wes is in his room, but come on in, we'll go get 'em. Then we can talk a little before Wes comes and kills you for what happened" smirked Alton.

"Yeah, ok" smiled Toboe as he and the others walked in the house.

[blacknautica]

"I'd rather not," I told my friend. I remained tensed as we went inside.

[Toboe]

"It'll only make things more difficult" muttered Destin as he followed Toboe to the couch and took a seat.

Alton went upstairs to get Wes, while Eden stayed with Toboe and the others. "Sooo, Tob who's your friends? And ... what happened while you were on Earth? Was it any fun?".

"Oh yeah, this is Zen and Destin. And Earth was ok, it has it's ups and downs. Next time I sneak out there, you can come with 'kay?" he smiled.

"Sure, sure" agreed Eden. "And welcome Zen and Destin, hope you two like it here, it took a while to actually build the dumb thing, though Wes did most of the work. By the way, I'm Eden" he shrugged.

Destin nodded, "I'm Destin, nice to meet you". At least he tried to be polite.
