CHAPTER FOUR

“AHHHHHH!!!” Bright colors whisked past Sita's face at amazing speed as she was dragged along. Joey just laughed at her. “Hey this is not funny, you just kidnapped me!”

“It kinda is.” He said, trying to not laugh. “Anyway, you should calm down, we're almost there.” He smiled.

“Fine.” Sita said, reluctantly. If there are people, I don't want to embarrass myself by screaming my face off right in front of them...

“Hey Sita!” Joey shouted back. “We're here!”

Sita looked around and her eyes widened.

All of the colors started to form into different shapes, and those shapes turned into buildings. Sleek, silver lined houses started to pop up in random places, Sita looked down and there was metal underneath her feet. So this is a metal... Planet? Then she saw Naoir and Grason waiting for them next to a small shop. Joey let go of Sita's hand and they walked over to the shop.

“Took you long enough...” Naoir said. “What were you doing, building a palace?” He frowned.

“Hello to you too Naoir.” Joey said with a grimace.

“How was Miss Sita's first time through a black hole?” Grason asked expectantly.

“B-black hole?” Sita said, surprised. “You told me it was a portal!”

“Sorry, but I figured that you would never go in if I said that it was a black hole...” Joey said guiltily.

“Well, then.” Sita crossed her arms.

“I'm sorry but, we really needed you to come here.” Joey pleaded.

Sita looked at all of them, Grason just looked at her, Naoir wasn't even bothered by her being offended. Typical. Joey was looking at her with apologetic eyes. Sita finally gave in. “Fine.” She said. “But know this, I don't trust you guys.”

“Well, you did just 'risk' your life coming with us.” Naoir commented. I hate to admit it, but he has a point.

Naoir smirked. I hate that he can read thoughts...

“Okay!” Joey smiled. “Follow me.”

Sita reluctantly followed behind Joey, Grason and Naoir walked close behind.

“Okay, Where are we going?” Sita asked.

“Why do you need to know?” Naoir countered.

“Well, I can think of a few reasons...”

“I already know the reasons your thinking of and they aren't a reason to know.” Naoir said .

“BUT-” Sita couldn't finish her sentence because Joey interrupted the approaching argument.

“We are going to see our trainer.” He said looking at them both.

“Hey! Joey why did you-” Naoir started.

Joey stopped, looked back, and stared him straight in the eye. “Because I wanted to.” He turned back around. “That's why.” He said with a smirk.

“Um... Joey?” Sita asked.

“Yes Sita?” Joey said.

“Do you know why I'm being brought here?” She said.

“Ej. Berud hodk hek ri. ej jekel jof. medak inon ki gei.” Joey mumbled, a thinking expression on his face.

“What? What does that mean?” Sita asked confused.

“Nothing, it's gibberish. And no I have no clue, but I'm going to take you there anyway because I trust this person. And I'm sure you will learn to trust them too.” Joey smiled.

“Uh...” Sita suddenly felt lightheaded.

“Oh, is something wrong Sita?” Joey asked concerned.

“I just feel... Dizzy.” She grabbed her head.

“Now? Man I thought that kicked in a while ago, and I just thought you had a strong mind. But for the reaction to a black hole to be delayed for this long... And this is your first time traveling through one? Amazing.” Joey suddenly looked very interested in Sita. “Do you know how fascinating this is?”

Naoir leaned over to Sita's ear. “He's a black hole fanatic... Seriously, you should see his room.”

“Shut up! It's not a bad thing.” Joey said defensively.

Sita kept growing more dizzy until everything was too much and she blacked out.
