H.O.M.E

Chapter 15

Three days have passed since we all moved into Alpha team’s apartment and everything has been going better than I would have thought. Sadie and Rex have even started talking more using both of their; leadership experience to develop new fighting strategies since there are six of us now. Sadie even looks like she is less grossed out when Rex says or does something suggestive to her. Buddy, Spike and Skip have been spending most of their time going out with the many girls that stay outside of the building.

            I have been training with Rex in sword fighting and slowly getting more confident with my skill. When he is too busy to spare with me I spend most of my time in the training room practicing techniques that he taught me against a training dummy.  Even though I don’t get as much experience when I just fight against the dummy I still like to think of new ways to throw Rex off of his game for when we spare.

            I can hear a lout commotion coming from the living room but I am too focused on this dummy to care enough to go check it out. “Gizmo come here right now!” I hear Buddy shout at me. I plunge the sword into the dummy’s abdomen making it stick in and I ran off towards him.  Running into the living room I see Buddy, Spike and Skip all carrying huge bags from different stores and are pulling out various clothes and accessories.  “Look at all this stuff that we got for free!” Buddy says when he sees me coming into the room.

            “That’s great Bud but I don’t know why you had to yell for me like the place was on fire”

            “Oh sorry about that I was just really excited” he says with a shrug.

            “That’s great for you man but I don’t know what that has to do with me” I say wanting to go back and train more.

            “Well maybe this will change your mind” he says as he reaches into a bag a pulls out something out. He hands it over to me and it is a black t-shirt and on the front of it is a large lightning bolt.

            “Wow thanks Buddy this is awesome! I like it a lot.”

            “You better like it because you are going to be wearing it tonight along with these” he says handing me a pair of black jeans and sunglasses.

            “Wear them where?” I say to him holding the pile of clothes.

            “Out at the club with us tonight” Skip says emptying more clothes out of his bags.

            “I don’t know If that is a good idea guys” I say to them unsure if me going out with them is smart.

            “Well we do and you have to go because we are all going to be wearing these” Skip says putting on a pair of sunglasses that match mine.

            Spike and Buddy pull out a pair of glasses too and put them on,” the ladies are going to be all over us” Spike says.

            I laugh at how they all think they look super cool but really seem fairly lame. As I am thinking over they offer to go out with them Rex and Sadie come inside from their strategy meeting outside. “Where did you get all this stuff guys?” Sadie says looking at all the clothes.

            “Well we went shopping and the people were so generous they didn’t even want us to pay for any of it” Skip says to her. Sadie looks lost for words and just shakes her head. “Anyways please tell Gizmo that he needs to stop being a stick in the mud and come out with us tonight.”

            “Okay now that you bring that up I’m not sure that it is good for any of you guys to be going out. I think that it would be better if we all stay together and try patrolling” she says to him.
