Gene lead Frank to the chameleon. On the way, the two where already deep in conversation. Gene telling Frank what he got up to and what they, Super 4, were. Frank seemed interested. She told him what she got up too. She was a blacksmith and also painted. She was also in a band called 'Snail Mail'. Gene laughed at the name. He quite liked it.
"The others will be asleep I believe, so best if we be quiet." Gene informed her as he opened the door. Instantly, Twinkle flew over to him and embraced him with a hug.
"Oh Gene! I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to make you leave!" Gene stumbled back, not knowing what to do, he pat her back, looking at Frank.
"Asleep eh?" She looked in to see Alex and Ruby half asleep looking at Gene and Twinkle. They noticed Frank and rose to their feet.
"Who're you?" Alex asked, stumbling over to Frank.
"I'm Frank. I'm here with Gene!" She said, pulling him out of Twinkle's grasp. Twinkle flew over to Frank.
"I'm Twinkle! That's Alex and she's Ruby!" Her high pitches voice ringing Frank's ears. She winced and nodded.
"Thanks...Twinkle..."Gene lead Frank to a seat where they continued to talk. The other 3 sat in the corner watching them. They'd never seen Gene this open to a stranger before. Suddenly, Twinkle magicked up a tray of tea and had it soar over to Gene and Frank. They watched it crash onto the table but all stay together.
"Thank you Twinkle." Gene said and took a cup, Frank doing the same and sipping it.After more talking and more tea, it was time for everyone to sleep. The instant Ruby and Alex got comfy, then passed out into a deep sleep. Twinkle lay down and hugged Alien and slept. Frank rose to her feet, walking towards the door and opening it.
"Where are you going?" Gene asked, standing quickly. Frank face him, "I'm going home, do you want to come?"
Gene looked at the 4 sleeping, then to Frank who was already standing outside. He chuckled and jumped outside with Frank.The trees seemed much larger at night. The light from the moon shining down on them and the surrounding area. The grass beneath them crunching in the crisp air. Frank looked at Gene to see his dark eyes shine slightly against his dark skin. She couldn't help but beam and look away. Gene sneakily looked at her to see her smile and looking away. He raised an eyebrow and laughed. Frank began to laugh too. Soon, both where howling with laughter, it echoing across the land.
"Aha, here we are!" Frank stopped in front of a house. To Gene's surprise, they weren't in the Enchanted Forest anymore. He had no clue where they were.
"Where are we?"
"A forgotten place. It's safe because no one rememberers this land exists. Would you like to come in?" Frank unlocked the white door with flowers painted on and stepped inside. Gene continued after her, but not before taking another glance behind him.The house smelt of flowers, freshly cut grass too. Paintings were all over the walls and a fire place sat at the back of the room. A pretty flowery chandelier hung from the ceiling along with a crystal lamp next to a pale purple sofa. A soft carpet under them with a watery looking pattern on it. Frank removed her shoes by the door and sat on the sofa. Gene, still taking everything in, joined her.
"It's really nice! Do you live alone?"
"My parents are upstairs sleeping. Do you want to watch a movie? I'm gunna get some food, do you want anything?" Gene thought for a moment before agreeing on some food. He looked at the movies on the shelves and picked out 'Back to the Future'.The two began to eat some pasta with bacon and spinach. To Gene's amazement it was delicious, and could see why it was Frank's favourite meal. The clock was ticking in the background as they continued to watch the movie. Gene hasn't realised just how tired he really was until he fell asleep on a green cushion. Frank looked over at him a smirked. She got up and moved his legs onto the sofa and threw a blanket over him. She picked up the bowls and forks and placed them quietly in the dishwasher. She switched the lights and movie off and walked up to her bedroom. Changing into her pyjamas, she looked out the window at the starry sky and grinned.
"Thanks for appearing Gene..." and with that, she fell asleep.
