Dimension Academy

Chapter 10: Ten

Ten walked into a greenhouse that was located in the town. She smiled as she looked at all of the flowers.
"Looking for anything specific?" A worker walked up to her with a smile.
"Do you have any bluebells?" Ten asked the worker.
"I think we have a few. Come with me." The worker beckoned Ten to follow her with a smile. Ten followed the worker to a few blue flowers. The worker handed some to Ten. "Are these what you're looking for?" The worker asked her.
"Yes, thank you." Ten smiled as she took the flowers.
"Is that all?" The worker wondered.
"Yes." Ten nodded.
"Alright, then! I can check you out right over here." The worker leaded Ten to the check out counter. The worker walked behind the counter as Ten set the flowers on top of it. "That'll be $3.99." The worker smiled. Ten dug through her bag and gave the worker $4.
"Thank you so much." Ten smiled and grabbed the flowers.
Ten walked out of the greenhouse and into her car. She put the flowers on the passenger seat. She inserted the key and started the car.

She parked the car in the driveway. She took and flowers and grabbed her gardening supplies. She carefully dug a hole in front of the house in the dirt. She placed the flowers in the hole and gently covered it with dirt. She stood up and smiled at the sight of the flowers. She heard the front door open and close. She looked over to see Five standing there.
"Five..!" Ten smiled.
"You planted flowers?" Five looked at her flowers.
"Do you like them?" Ten asked him.
"Yeah."
"Thanks." Ten smiled a little.
"No problem." Five looked at Ten. Ten licked her lips and crossed her arms.
"Y'know.. everyone explains you to be a ferocious serial killer. I just see a child with a dream." Ten warmly smiled.
"A dream? That's a word for it.." Five raised his eyebrows. Ten smiled and took off her gloves.
"See you around, Five." Ten walked away. Five sighed and looked at the flowers she planted before he also walked away.
Ten walked into her room and sat down on her bed. She stretched her arms and fell back. She quickly sat up when she heard yelling from downstairs. She could tell it was Five arguing with Eleven. Ten couldn't help but listen.
"Why don't you listen to me?!" Ten heard Five yell.
"Because you're a 12 year old serial killer!" Eleven replied.
"Oh, I'm so excited to prove you wrong!" Five shouted.
"Five, there is nothing 'coming for us from another dimension'. You're just being delusional." Eleven snapped.
"Believe what you wanna believe, but I can't wait until I can tell you that I told you so!" Five shouted.
Ten rolled her eyes and fell back into her bed.

The next morning, Ten cooked bacon on the stove. She shook her hand when the bacon popped and a grease splatter landed on it. She turned around to see Twelve sitting at the island.
"Is the bacon almost ready?" Twelve asked her.
"Uh.. yeah. I'm cooking toast too.." Ten told him.
"I'll just have bacon." Twelve smiled. Ten gave a little smile back and continued to flip the bacon. Ten and Twelve flinched when the front door flew open. Five fell into the house on his back. Eleven stood over him. He teleported to his feet. Eleven hurled her fist to his face but he ducked just in time. Five grabbed quickly punched her in the gut. She was winded for a second, but quickly regained her breath. She grabbed Five and ran him right into the corner of the island. Twelve jumped out of his seat. Five slowly stood up, grabbing his back like an old man. He tried to grab Eleven, but she grabbed his head. She dragged him over to the stove and held his head against the boiling bacon. Ten back up into the corner of the counter. Eleven started punching Fives face closer and closer to the burning pan of bacon. Five closed his eyes as the grease popped on his face.
"Eleven!" Ten shouted. Five elbowed Eleven in the stomach and then teleported behind her. She punched her in the back of the head. Eleven turned around to Five and held up her fist. Just when Eleven was about to punch Five, Ten ran in the middle of them. "Stop!" Ten shouted. Eleven and Five both looked at Ten.
"Get out, Ten! This isn't your fight!" Eleven told her.
"But I cant let you guys kill each other." Ten said.
"I wasn't gonna kill him." Eleven looked scoldingly at Ten.
"You held my head against a burning pan!" Five protested.
"That wouldn't of kill you." Eleven told him.
"It would've burnt my face!" Five yelled.
"Oh, it would've burnt your perfect, beautiful face!" Eleven smiled and got closer to Five. Ten pushed her back.
"Just stop." Ten told them both. "You're acting like children." She said before she looked over at Five. "Except for Five, he is a child." Ten added.
"He's 36!" Eleven said. Ten looked at Eleven with a 'could you not?' look.
"How about we all go to our own rooms?" Ten looked at them both.
"Okay, mom." Eleven rolled her eyes and walked up the stairs. Five limped over to the front door.
"Where are you going?" Ten asked him. Five turned to look at her, blood dripping down from his forehead to his shirt collar.
"Somewhere that isn't here." Five grumbled.
"Let me come! I won't yell at you like Eleven."

Five and Ten walked together around the neighborhood in the middle of the road.
"What's been on your mind recently?" Team asked him.
"I haven't been thinking much lately." Five looked straight ahead.
"What do you mean?"
"It hurts."
"What hurts?"
"It hurts me just to think, and I don't do pain." Five told her.
"Pain? I thought you said pain doesn't bother you! After all, you have a gunshot wound in your stomach, a gash on your forehead, and judging by what Eleven did to you, a bad back, and a twisted ankle." Ten said.
"Your right." Five put his hands his his pockets at the cold air started to blow through.
"Anyway, why were you and Eleven arguing?" Ten asked him.
"I detected a strange entity coming straight for this dimension. It could be as big as a whale, or as small as a mouse. I can't tell yet, but whatever it is, we'll know when it arrives." Five explained.
"I believe you." Ten told him.
