Estrellas: Book 2

CHAPTER SIX: WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE

(Told in perspective of Pandal) (Pandal's last name will probably be different than it was in my Sun and Moon book because it has like 40 chapters and I really don't feel like going back and reading them all to find that out. So basically, Armanda is as close as I'm gonna get, if you do happen to remember his last name just chat me and let me know, I can fix it.👍 Enjoy!)

"Pandal Armanda, the interviewer is ready for you now." I sat outside the interview room. The Medias decided to interview me again, and it was fair, I had betrayed them. "Alone." The woman looked at the dog I had found rummaging around in the Media base trash. He was trailing behind me, I hadn't quite figured out what to name him yet.

I held out my finger, "Sit...now stay!" I walked into the interviewing room, a woman was sitting there, with a stack of papers and a notebook. I sat down at the chair across from her.

"Hello Mr. Armanda." An interviewer glared at me from the other side of the table. "I don't believe we've been properly introduced."

"Other than you pounding my friends and I for answers, no I don't believe we have." I glared right back at her.

Not looking or sounding impressed by my attitude, the interviewer said, "I'm Jamie Holmes but you can call me Mrs. Holmes."

"Pandal Armanda, but I'm pretty sure you already know that." Mrs. Holmes gave a fake laugh and moved on to her notebook while the document recorder typed out every word we were saying.

Mrs. Holmes looked up, "So, Mr. Armanda, I'm sure everyone on the base is wondering why you betrayed us, and especially why you had the nerves to come back here..." Mrs. Holmes tapped her pencil on her notebook with what looked like questions written on it.

"Look I can explain..."

She slapped the table, "And THAT..." she yelled, "...is exactly why we are here." Her voice calmed a bit. "To explain things... Now, let's start from the beginning. Why did you betray the Medias in the first place?"

"My Mother, the Estrellas we're holding her captive."

"But you could've told us, we could've led a rescue team to recover her."

"Yeah but that's the issue, Mrs. Holmes. I DID notify every single rescue team on the campus and yet, everyone seemed too good for this simple mission. So don't lecture me with could'ves and what-ifs, I did what I had to, what your rescue teams failed to do. And guess who is safe and sound in Media base, right this second? Oh yeah, that's right my Mother."

"I, uh-er-ah, onto the next question." The interviewer managed to get out.
"What caused you to come back here to us?"

"Number one, you already know, but, I'll be kind enough to tell it to you one last time. Cassandra needed help, and I dropped everything to help her. To be honest, you should be throwing me a thank you party rather than making me answer all these ridiculous questions." The room went silent.

Finally Mrs. Holmes broke the silence. "Well! I think that's enough questions for today, you are excused, thank you for your time and er-cooperation." The woman piled all her papers together and stacked them. I shoved out my chair and stormed out of the door, slamming it behind me. I saw the dog I had found, he was hiding in the corner, scared of me. My face turned from angry to understanding.

"Come here boy, it's alright, I'm not mad at you." He started to pant and wag his tail. "Come on boy! Come on!" I cheered him on. He barked and started bounding up to me, the next thing I knew I was on the floor with a face covered in slobber. "Yuck!" I spit the slobber out of my mouth. "Maybe I should name you slobber!" I laughed while wiping my face. I saw Brutus walk in.

He saw the dog and his face brightened. "Hey buddy! Come here boy!" He patted his knees." The dog jumped off me and rolled over next to Brutus. "Well at least somebody likes me today. Where'd you find him?"

"The trash can, apparently he likes tuna casserole." I laughed.

"That's makes one of us!" We both laughed. "Does he have a name yet?"

"Nah, I'm still trying to figure it out, I can't name a new device I make for the life of me so its gonna take a while to name a dog."

"Are they even aloud on campus?" Brutus stopped petting the dog and looked up, worried.

"I mean, no one's yelled at me yet?" I laughed and called the dog back over. "So what are you doing here? Shouldn't you be setting up a room or something?"

"No, they wanted an interview, and based on my PAST self, I don't blame them." Brutus looked down at his feet. I knew he had lost his family in a mission, but that was no reason for the Medias to be so harsh on him. "Well, I'm gonna go sign in for the interview, see ya later kid." And with that I waved and took the dog with me. In the hall, I got a few glares and some angry looks, I hurried to my room. I let the dog in and shut the door behind me. I sighed with relief and fell face first onto my bed. I felt the dog curl up next to me, then I fell asleep.

(About an hour later)

I awoke to a knocking on my door.
"Who is it?" I mumbled half awake.

"Can I come in?" It was a girl.

"Sure come on in." I jumped up out of bed and my dog followed. The girl walked in and closed the door behind her. She had strawberry blonde hair, hazel eyes, and a big smile.

"First of all, wow! Pandal Armanda! The Media base's smartest guy around! Also, I just wanted to say, it's awesome how you saved your mom from the Luna's and that girl from the Estrellas." Wow, I didn't know I had fans...

"Um, thanks?"

"What's wrong?" She gave me a concerned look.

"It's just I'm not quite used to getting complimented."

"Well you deserve the compliments."she smiled.

"Sure... so what's your name? Since you already know mine of course."

"Oh yeah, I'm Evelyn."

"Hi Evelyn, so what did you need?"

"Oh! I'm your dog's vet. The youngest vet in the entire campus if I might add." She smiled and took out the kit she brought.

"Soooo... Pets are aloud I'm guessing?" She laughed at my question and bent down to check on my dog.

"What's his name?" She looked up curiously.

"He doesn't have one yet, but I'm sure I'll know it when he responds to one."
Evelyn laughed and started packing up her equipment.

"So, your dog looks good for now, I would take him by my office to get his rabies shot and all, but, he seems really healthy! See you around Pandal!" She waved and left.
