The D-Tribe & the Mighty Hurricanes

Chapter 3: The Mysterious Appearance

The next day, lives were continued as normally as usual. Rhea's mind was somehow clear. Things like the incident and trying to find an evidence to a big misunderstanding were tempted to be thought, but she managed to mentally dismiss it. Right now, it's 6:30pm. After the D-Tribe's rehearsal, it took them 30 minutes before arriving at one of the convenience stores in the Philippines. Ministop.

It brought Ralpha to some cravings for Cornetto ice cream. Diona let out a light chuckle. The reason why they they came here is to buy some snacks.

Those included Rollercoaster potato chips, Pringles and a few others. They even bought Cornetto ice cream for each family member, but they would save it for dinner. Something came to mind that the ice cream would be brought to the freezer in time since the tour bus is closer to Ministop. As for the flavors, Rhea had chocolate, Ralpha had cookies and cream while Ray and Diona both have flavors mixed with Ube and Cheese.

After buying some snacks, the Daniels walked their way towards the counter. Their feet halted to a line at the very back. Right before a few others came in behind them. Unfortunately for them... this line was a bit long. So it might take a few minutes before they would actually pay for the snacks.

After a few moments of falling in line, Ray turned to the rest of his family. "I think we should eat ice cream after we pay for what we bought."

"Why is that?" Rhea asked in confusion.

"Because by the time we get to the tour bus, the ice cream would be melted already."

After a few moments of deep thought, Rhea nodded. "I can see that."

You can hear a foot stomp on the floor. "It's gonna take a long time." Ralpha said.

"Eh, you wait," Diona said.

Why won't Ralpha learn how to wait? Ray thought.

In the end, to keep them entertained, Diona suggested that Rhea and Ralpha should wait outside Ministop and sit around the table, waiting for them.

This brought Ray into concern. One gut-feeling told him that Rhea could watch over him, but another part told him that she has a lot to learn about karate. Ray had been trying to find the right time to teach her more about Miyagi-Do Karate, but it was occupied by other things.

With that, he turned to Diona. "But who will look after them?"

Diona placed her right hand on his left shoulder. "It'll be okay, Ray. And besides, she knows how to be aware of her surroundings, right?"

Ray nodded. "Yeah, I guess so."

With that, Rhea and Ralpha ended up waiting outside Ministop. They were seen sitting around one table with a lot of entertainment in mind. Ralpha was seen watching Godzilla on YouTube with his phone. Rhea, on the other hand, did nothing but sit there with caution. Her mind was filled with self-awareness and her eyes were carefully looking out for people who were going to kidnap them. And if they're going to kidnap them, she might as well call out to their parents for help. Or maybe she could defend herself when she had to.

Then all of a sudden, something funny was surrounding her, but not in a good way. Her body sat there like a statue. This bad feeling that was building up inside of Rhea had rooted inside her mind. Something told her she should go back inside with Ralpha and talk to her parents, but a single muscle couldn't move.

Soon after, the bad feeling was getting stronger. Rhea had enough of it, so her legs flipped over on the other side of the chair and her body was whipped behind her.

The first thing she saw before her led her to raising her hand in front of Ralpha. She could hear him asking, "What is it, Ate Rhea?"

Then, he gasped in shock. Rhea was assuming he was walking behind her, but it was overcome by the intuition. An intuition that includes him sitting there, feeling like he needed protection.
