As we got off the bus, Loona's small surbaban home seemed strangly eerie. But... the creepiness really started when we entered her house.
"Mom! Bernard!"Loona yelled, shutting the door behind her. "We're home."She stared at her couch, and on it sat two lifeless bodies, a woman and a man.
"This is freaky..."Erik mumbled, dusting off a nearby shelf. "Hey, Loona- are you aware that your parent's are corp-"Erik gets cut off by me.
"He meant- Corp- Cor... jeez- do any words start with corp?"I murmur, "He means COOL!"Aella yells.
"Yup, cool. 'Cause that's definitely what I meant."Erik shrugged. "You guys are acting weird..."Loona crossed her arms, looking at her... unconcious parents like "can you believe these guys?"
"So, maybe we should get the money and head out of here?"Erik pointed towards the door, I agreed with him with a nod... we were all creeped out, except Loona, by her probably dead parents.
"But... food!"Loona clapped excitedly, propping up both of her parents at the table.
"Yay... food."Aella gave an awkward smile, sitting down and urging us to. I sat down next to Loona's possibly dead step dad, and Erik sat next to Aella.
Loona brought out a plate of cob-web filled cookies and sat them down on the table. "Appetizing."Erik took one and then slowly set it back down like he instantly changed his mind. "Awhile back I accidentally put them to sleep with my Sloth-powers, but they woke up... they always wake up."Loona sighed. I looked down at my hand for a second... and I had two bucks in it. Dang it, I did it again, I stole from someone without thinking. It was from her step-dads pocket for sure.
"Ah, we should- go. Now."Aella smiled and Loona smiled back.
"Yeah! Your mom and step dad probably have a lot to talk about, you can come see them anytime but... were on a deadline!"I gave her a big smile, and Erik nodded along. "Okay... Bye Mom, bye Bernard."Loona waved goodbye to them, grabbing a dusty cookie to-go. "I'm just gonna get the maps!"She quickly walked off.
As we walked out the door, we noticed that our bus had been stolen.
"DANG IT! Someone should've watched it!"Aella crossed her arms. Loona ran back out with the correct map, handing it to me. It was a perfect copy. "Great! It looks like were on track! C'mon- we should take a train until we need another major stop.
"But what train..? Loona only got one dollar from her- parents, and the bus had our extra money."Erik sighed. "We can be stow-aways... I guess."Aella suggested.
Erik looked over at a nearby Subway, "I've got an idea."
