A Boy's Adventure

When You Least Expect It......

~Alex's POV~

Alice and I had never had guests, except for Eden and Tabitha, who would call ahead to say they're coming. So when I heard a knock on the door when nobody called, I thought "the twins", as I call them, were pranking us.

"OK, guys! It's not really funny!" I shouted as I headed toward the door.  When I opened it, there was someone I was least expecting.

"Is this where Alexander and Alice Thunderwood live?" Jordan Frye asked, smiling at the look on my face. Alice winced remembering who she was. She goes by Victoria on the radio.

" Y-yes," I replied, honestly quite shocked. "We are them."

" OH!" he said, with the same look on his face as was on mine. " You mean you're-" I smirked and nodded. "And she's-". Again I nodded.

Isaac, who was in the back. budged past his older brother to shake my hand. "Dude, it's an honor to meet you!" he said as my hand started loosing circulation.

" Isaac!! Let go of my hand!!" I yelled in pain. He did, shocked, as I grabbed my hand.

Cierra, now in the very back, hollered, "Oh, and there's somebody else you may want to meet!" I went outside, turned left, and saw the one person I never thought I'd meet. But there she was, green hoodie, crowbar, and all, Bethany Frye. And, while no one noticed, someone walked up behind me with the most unmistakable laugh. I turned around and, sure enough, it was the Bulgarian himself, Bodil40

I had no clue what was going on.

~Bodil's POV~

I was in it with them, but I never thought it would actually happen!(or is it heapen?) Jordan's face, Isaac's death grip, and his face were too much. My Bulgarian laugh could probably be heard from at least a block away. "Alex, it's alright! Jordan....." I had to pause foe breath..."Same with you and Isaac! The only ones taking this lightly are your sisters, Alice and..and" I can't do it.."and me!" I lost it again. After that, Alex just smiled and shook my hand, knowing I was right.

" So, out of all people, why come to me?" he asks.

"Well, considering Team Crafted are in a silly Hunger Games, Simon was was with my gang in Africa, and Gizzy is in England, nobody else seemed good enough to compare."

ALL LE POVS!!! ~Alice's POV~

Seeing Alex, or Mercus Lerson as I knew him, happy made me quite tearful indeed. I was glad he was happy, considering his dad thought he was useless.

FlashBack

"Alex, I don't care," I heard his dad say rather annoyed. I thought he had been lying to me to make me feel bad.  But it turns out he wasn't. That's when I heard the door slam and saw someone break into a sprint. I chased him down, knowing who it was.

"Alice, get off!" Alex screamed, his hazel eyes full of hate and brown hair messed up. His unibrow was scrunched up too, like what a bull looks like when it's mad.

"Nope, not until you tell me what happened, Alex."

"Alright! But first off, my name isn't Alex anymore, though I'll use it to disguise myself from time to time."

"Then who are you?" I asked, not sure if I knew him.

"Mercus," he said simply, the rage not out of his eyes. "Mercus Lerson." After this, he tells me everything and since then we've been on the run, hiding from his father.  Then one day, we moved out of that world.

FlashBack End

So yeah, his happiness is good to see, even if you can barely see it past that hood of his. I really don't know what to do with him. Of course, I knew about their arrival. They called while he was still asleep!!! Yet they still didn't believe we were THE Alex and Alice from ThePortalBearers YouTube channel

A/N: Hey guys, Marcus here and if you see Mercus Lerson pop up in EdenWritesStuff's book, Counting Stars, I'll explain in the end of this book. Just know that this book will have some very tragic moments, especially in the end. So stay tune for the next episode of Veggie Tales! Not really. Anyway, make sure to SLAP DAT VOTE BUTTON WITH YO NOSE!!! Peace out. my little creepers.
