Fated Arrival?

One More Step

We leave off with Treyku and Pele in a gas station at night 

"We have returned old friends." I walk in with Pele as she rolls her eyes. 

"Glad you chose this place, this gas station is like a damn hotel." Pele walks around and tightens her bags.

"So would you both like to have a room?" A giant Indian man wearing a turban was behind the counter with his shorter friend who was wiping the counters.

"Sure Hakboob and Sanjay can you bring us a bunch of snacks? We got to clean some stuff in my bag and some other things." I ask giving a bunch of money to the two.

"I would ask if you need a refill on gas, but it doesn't look like you two drive." Sanjay, the shorter man in a turban, says walking us behind the gas station to the hotel they also run while carrying the giant bag of food and snacks as Hakboob waves.

"You two still wrestle?" I ask them walking beside Pele.

"We actually have a match tonight, funny enough." Sanjay says opening the door to a luxurious hotel room with lots of space.

"Damn how much to rent this place?" Pele asks.

"$450 a week." Sanjay says.

"Fuck traveling, I might live here." Pele flys over and hops on one of the beds.

"We also have 24/7 services and servants if you need specific things or anything like that." Sanjay smiles.

"Thank you Sanjay, and tell Hakboob he better win this match." I fist bump Sanjay, as he bows shutting the door.

"So glad you remembered some friends, if I had to sleep on some dusty ass gas station floor with soda stains on the ground, I would have ripped my hair out." Pele sighs in relief.

I hop on the other bed relaxing a bit as well as we both stare at the ceiling in silence for a while. 
"Hey Pele?" I ask.

"Yeah?" Pele looks over at me.

"Now what?" I roll over to face her.

"We go back into adventuring and take multiple quests like we always do, honestly ready to get back into adventuring don't think the secretary life is always for me ya know." Pele begins to down a whole bottle of vodka. 

"Right." I pause for a while.

"Look Treyku, I know you are bumbed about everyone so am I, but they aren't from our world. Think if you were to die......they wouldn't even be alive, stuck like we were." Pele looks down.

"I had no intention of dying, you know that. The things that I did the plane, the spa, the forest, Malte... they were not in vain." I say clutching my pillow. 

"But we were both so close to death, what if we-" Pele says deep in thought.

"No. It wouldn't have happened we had friends from our world and others help us, we would not have fallen. Though what enemies we face now, I don't know. I really don't." I cut off Pele sitting upwards. 

"Let's stay up a little longer, I need something to drink." Pele pops the lid off of a bottle of whiskey drinking from it. 

"Me too." I call a servant to bring out a barrel of choccy milk with a large straw, as they bring it out in only a minute. "Want some pizza, like some of that good stuff?" I look back to Pele.

"Damn they got personal chefs like the fancy ones?" Pele looks over. "Damn uh sure like 20!" 

"Ten for me, ten for her." I scribble down some toppings and stuff me and Pele like and the servant trades the paper with the choccy milk.

"You need to re learn how to count, you have enough money to literally fix all of your friends places, fix the village, buy some damn fancy ass house, some business, hell a plane or something, anything with all that money you got from the money from adventuring and those crazy quests." Pele flies over to my bed sitting beside me.

"It just doesn't feel like it you know?" I say resting my head on the wall.

"No kidding, you just kept doing so many quests after school and crap, you literally got out of school and ran off to the world. Though...you did meet me for doing that and saved the village, so I guess it all worked out." Pele rests her head on my shoulder.

We started to doze off slightly as the door knocked. I got up and opened the door, as the servants came in and rolled large pizzas and fancy drinks for Pele and fancy looking chocolate milk. "Boss told us you liked these drinks Mrs. Pele, and he also told us to try to make some chocolate milk for you Treyku." One of the servants says bowing.

"Treyku I am suddenly sick I need to stay here for months it might be critical." Pele faints over.

"Wait really?" I look over.

"No dumbass, but damn this is a feast, thank you all." Pele gives a thumbs up.

"It's a pleasure, a friend and partner of Hakboob, is a friend of ours, enjoy." The servants walk out.

Pele and I look at each other then begin pigging out. I turn on the TV to some random cartoon as Pele downs some fancy looking bottles. I take a sip of their chocolate milk and it is surprisingly good. "How is yours?" I ask Pele.

"Fucking the bomb, we are coming here weekly I don't care if I got to sleep on some rusted floor in a sewer." Pele downs two bottles in under a minute, as she digs in. "You know, I never ate much until I met you, guess that rubbed off on me a bit." 

"Now you appreciate food like I do." I smile finishing my last pizza watching  the man on the TV walking around his house step by step.

------------

I wake up with pizza boxes over me as covers as Pele is on top of me still in her outfit stretched out across me with a bottle still in her hand. I laugh a bit trying to think about what happened last night, but only remember eating lots of pizza. "Hey Pele wake up." I nudge her a bit. 

"One second Tao, I am cooking bagels on a stove." Pele mutters in her sleep holding onto the bottle.

"What." I say aloud.

"Ugh damn where are we?" Pele rubs her eyes a bit the rolls off of me into the floor. 

"At the hotel remember?" I say rubbing my eyes as well. 

"Shit we were suppose to eat with Vera and them. Damn what am I kidding I could eat some more I still am hung over." Pele laughs getting up changing into her casual clothes.

"It's fine they will clean this place when we leave. I already gave enough yesterday, so we are good to go. Just one more step for us to go." I say putting on my jacket. 

"What." Pele tilts her head.

"Something on the TV I saw yesterday, nevermind it, let's go." I say opening the door taking a step out seeing the sun already gleaming out with lots of clouds floating around. 

A short episode, but more episodes to come later! I will be focusing on the school story and how Treyku and Pele met and other stuff like that, I might make the newer episodes with my updates format, but we'll see that itself is a time capsule, started on it in 2018 around the summer though some characters have been cut out and such and will make more sense. Hope you all enjoy, this will probably not be updated for a good while, but art will be made in the place. Might upload just the art someday, who knows. Have a good one everyone, Treyku's adventure will continue on......later, first we have to go back in time a little lol. I might also start doing shorter episodes for these not sure yet. Guess we'll find out!
