I dropped the log book with my mouth wide open. Volta Terra looked at me strangely and waved her hand in front of my face, making sure I was alive. I blinked and shook my head, then looked at her. "You alright?" she asked me. I nodded vaguely. "Y-yeah...I'm just...my mind is just blown from this! Though I didn't need to know what she did on New Year's Eve and what she packed...boy I'm surrounded by perverted people."
Volta chuckled a bit. "Well, you seem to attract pervy people!" she teased. "Mweh! I don't need all of these distractions! Although...sometimes what you do is nice...er I mean...moo?" I tried to cover what I said. My face was turning red. "Ooohh baby, hahah!" she kept teasing. I kept my head down from embarrassment, oh the things I say.
"Anyway," Volta said, changing the subject, "so, Meredith is your sister?" "Older sister from the looks of it. I didn't know I had one until now. I'm not sure if she really is 25 years old since time is a bit different on Elyssia. But I guess we'll find out once we meet her." I replied. I pulled out a mirror and held it in front of me. I looked deeply into my red mechanic's eyes. So I was born to be a steam mechanic!
I wondered how I got it if I was born before my mom passed and dad went missing. Wouldn't the implant have killed me if they did it when I was an infant? And wouldn't the pieces cut up my eye since the metals do not grow like the human body does? Well it'll all be explained once I meet my sister...
The silence was then broken by a loud BOOM coming from my house. Volta and I both winced to the sound of the explosion. We both looked at each other slowly, and quickly packed up our picnic gear. We then scuttled across the park to my house. I hope it wasn't my ship exploding!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Why me? Why why why me? I had predicted the worse, it WAS my ship! Volta and I stood there outside of the garage at my house in flames and burnt. Sad day...it was even 75% complete too! And there goes the rest of my steambots...I hope to at least salvage their parts...and hope Goliath is still okay!
"What a sight...what a sight..." Volta said, shaking her head. I just stared at the horrible sight with my jaw locked open. Suddenly a girl crawled out of there, coughing and covered with black smoke. We quickly ran over to help out the girl. "Hey...are you okay?" I asked the girl, helping her up. The girl's eyes were still closed and coughed more. "Y-yeah...I'm fine...oh..."
The girl then passed out in my arms, making her twice as heavy than she was before. "Ngh! Uh...a little help here Volta...? Eheheheh..." I asked embarrassed. "Pfft, I thought you were strong! You're weak, can't carry a girl yourself. " Volta sneered at me. Ouch! Sheesh I'm not beefy like other guys...be gentle on this poor soul who's just lost his masterpiece from a random explosion...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thankfully, no one was hurt from the explosion and the house system put out the fire. I was also glad that no one was home either to witness what had just happened. I'd have some major explaining to do to Garren and Myra...and the others.
Volta and I sat in my room with the girl resting on my bed, sound asleep. "Oh and you know that that girl is your sister, right Kinetta?" Volta reminded me. "Huh? She is?" I asked confused. Volta face palmed herself and shook her head. "Sometimes you can be dumb, even if you are a young 'genious'."
I shook my head, rejecting the idea that the girl was my sister. "No, she can't be! I mean her hair is purple, but she's way too young looking to be my sister!" "Well you know, the reason why your ship 'exploded' is because her ship crash landed into it. If you remember from the log book entries, she took a ship here that she did not know how to use, and she obviously dropped her log book when the ship went out of control. Plus, look at her goggles, it has her name on it." she said.
Dang, I just got told. I looked at the girl's goggles, and there it said, "Meredith Keats" engraved on the goggles. I face palmed myself, feeling like a dumb-ass. YEE-HOH YEE-HOH!
Volta smirked with satisfaction, smelling the sweet victory from this argument. Wait, was it an argument? Am I just seeing her doing that to me? Yeah I'm just seeing things...once again, what lousy luck I have at this time. I guess it's what they say, every gift has a consequence. Is this my consequence for being with Volta Terra?
"Uhh...nnh? W-where am I...?" we heard Meredith speak. Volta and I turned around quickly and ran over to Meredith. "You're awake! How are you feeling?" I asked her. "My head hurts...really hurts...I feel sore all around...but, I'm glad I'm alive! Uh...excuse me sir, but what is your name?" she asked.
"Ah, I am your long lost brother, Kinetta Malzaheimer...well actually Keats since I did not know it. It is a pleasure to meet you, sister!" I introduced myself politely bowing. "YEEEE! KINETTA!!! You're so grown up and handsome! C'mere!" Meredith said, leaping out of the covers...nude... "GWACK!" only thing that I could of sounded out of my mouth with her breasts hitting me face first.
"Oh yeah...I forgot I took off her ash-covered clothes and put them in the wash...and didn't put on any clothes on her since I didn't know where Aly and Alicia's room was..." Volta said, snickering. "Oh it's fine! I don't mind being bare in front of my own brother! Though, who are you?" Meredith asked Volta, checking her out enviously. She was obviously jealous of Volta. "Oh, my name is Volta Terra, Kinetta's...heheh...wifey." she joked. "WIFEY?!" Meredith and I both yelled. "Hahahah! Just kidding, sheesh, Kinetta, don't even know who you're married to? You sure you're a young 'genious'? You're so daft..." Volta sneered at me again.
Dang she got me there. And it hurts though that Volta's not my wifey! I wish she was already...
"What? Oh, okay...I was gonna say BACK OFF, GIRLEH! DIS BOY IS MINE! Hahahah! Then I'd have to interview you to see if you're worthy enough to be with my wittle bwother!" Meredith said. Volta rubbed the back of her head nervously and said "Eheheh...yeah..."
Meredith's true colors are shining. Sheesh, she's a spazz! Already being overprotective over me, treating me like a child and being jealous over Volta when Meredith and I just met for only a few minutes...then again, I admit Volta is prettier and more sexy compared to Meredith and her petite body. Interesting people I meet these days. Well this is my sister, Meredith Keats. Now time to find out more about where I'm from, and who my real parents were.
