Ch.29

The Potatoes - sorry - the Potatoes and Nikita, who still refused to be called a Potato, stood outside the bathroom building in a circle, as Boo explained why all he did was go to bathrooms whenever they saw him.

Boo was mostly complaining, "I honestly don't understand the laws of nature. How in the world do you children manage to find me right when I'm going or coming from the bathroom of all places?"

Rudy slightly raised his hand, to which Boo cut him off with a glare and said, "No, Rudy, I most certainly do not live my life in the bathrooms of the U.S.A."

Rudy nodded and put a finger on his chin, "Ok, so you're not a bathroom tourist..."

Everyone ignored him.

Brynne smacked him upside the head saying, "Don't be dumb....yeah that's not possibe fur(PUN! -Trips) you, is it?"

Rudy cradled his head, and, very maturely, stuck his tongue out at the girl. Bynne went on to do the same to the snake prince before saying, "Boo, you're technically younger than us right now, so you can't call us children. Not even the Twins. They're like a year older than you."

Boo scowled, "I am a MAN, cursed to this child BODY."

To that, everyone imagined Aru snickering as she sang, "I'll make a man out of you" from Mulan. Of course, though, Aru wasn't there. It was just essence. The fact that now one knew if she was dead or alive, hung in the air. Aiden tried to lighten the, now somber, mood.

"Hey, at least now, we have another helping hand to Dwaraka. Boo, here's Karen," the boy said, handing the jewel over to the 10 year old.

"Thank you, Aiden," Boo answered gratefully, as he gently took the jewel from Aiden's hands.

"Master!!!!!!!!!! I MISSED YOU!! YOU WON'T BELIEVE HOW MUCH YOU OWE ME!! I WANT MY 50 DOLLARS...AIDEN YOU OWE ME TOO!! But, other than that... they were pretty cool, " Karen stated, whispering the last sentence.

Boo stood there, his mouth gaping open, " What did you do to Karen, Aiden?" Boo quietly asked a deadly aura surrounding him..

"NOTHING! I DID NOTHING!! I was kind to Karen and everything! It was just my first impression of her and how she acted towards me. At first, I really didn't mean anything bad and I'm sorry if you lost 50 dollars, but it's not my fault. Please stop interrogating me, you're actually scaring the flip outta me!" Aiden took a breath after rambling, he would never -and I mean NEVER- tell Aru of how scared he was at that moment.

Boo stared at Karen, and then the rest of the Potatoes + Nikita. Karen buzzed in reply, "Meh. Do anything you want with them, Master Boo. But Aiden, you better give fifty dollars before you die, or I will haunt your ghost dreams."

"Do ghosts even have dreams," Rudy tried asking, only to be ignored again. He popped his lips, put his hands in his pockets, and started whistling as he balanced on the balls of his feet.

Boo stopped Rudy from whistling anymore, while shaking his head, spouting incoherent words under his breath. He dug in his pocket and brought out a hundred dollar bill, " Karen, I pay for Aiden and me. Save it will ya? It might save us some day."

Karen nodded, (As much as a jewel/compass could) as Boo commanded Her to go back to her compact form, which was a pigeon necklace around his throat, "I'll see you later, Karen," Boo said, as he threw the jewel up into the air, watching it disappear in a wisp of smoke.

"Boo...what just happened to Karen," Brynne asked,taking a few steps away from Boo, obviously afraid of being turned into smoke (or a deflated souffle XD -Trips).

Boo sighed at Brynne's antics, "When a Jewel is forcefully drained of energy or if the owner wills it to leave, then the Jewel will be transported back to the heavens, in a place where they, hangout you could say, until they are 'recharged' or summoned again. I typically send Karen back to chat with her friends, since whenever you put them in your jewelry box, you are unconsciously asking them to go back. I assume that they are there now?"

"That brings us to the next topic at hand, Boo. You see, we may have forgotten to tell you that we sort of...lost our jewels," Sheela tried softly, although the statement sounded more like a question than an actual statement.

Boo was still. He didn't make any noises. Infact, he was rather calm. Too. Calm. He took a deep breath and ran to the nearest tree. He hit his head so hard that his forehead was bleeding. You could literally see smoke coming from his ears.

Rudy screamed, since that's what he does, "THE FLIP YOU DOING TO YOURSELF, BOO?!"

"You wanna know what I'm doing, Rudy? YOU WANT TO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT I'M DOING?? GRRRRRRRR DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!! I JUST WANNA-" Boo choked out, aiming for one of their necks in anger.

"ADRISHYA," Mini used DeeDee to calm Boo down, a little. He stayed there taking deep breaths, a murderous flame burning in his pupils.

"Boo. They're okay. The jewels, I mean. We met up with...someone that helped us return the jewels to the heavens for safekeeping," Aiden told Boo, effectively avoiding the topic on Surya.

Rudy was about to ask how he knew that, but Aiden just elbowed the boy in the ribs, indicating to everyone that it was a lie. They just needed Boo to calm down, or else, a ten year old boy would be the death of them. Rudy could imagine it: Here lies:

Prince Rudra of the Naga Loka

Died: at the hands of his own ten year old mentor and teacher

Last words: "I'm too handsome to die! I haven't even figured out how credit cards worked!"

Everyone shuddered, as they imagined their own graves. Boo looked suspiciously at them while he summoned Karen to check. The rest of them held their breath as that was the only way they could live at this point.

Karen huffed as she asked, " You need something Master? I was in the middle of playing poker with Ember.".

" Yeah, could you tell me if the other jewels are there? All of them??" Boo asked, his scrutinous eyes never leaving the Potatoes.

" Hm? Yeah they are! They are actually being purified right now, and I don't know why but hey, a purifying bath is a purifying bath, and it's heavenly. Get it? Heavenly? As in they do it in the heavens? (Guess who wrote that pun you guys...YEP ME AGAIN! XD -Trips)"

The Potatoes, including Aiden's, faces were priceless as they realized that their lie was in fact a TRUTH! Ain't that their lucky day?

Their faces quickly changed as Boo stared at them, " Okay... I guess you weren't lying. But now, my head is bleeding for no reason."

Mini's face lit up, "I GOT YOU COVERED, BOI! I have neosporin, Advil for the pain relief, bandages, rubbing alcohol, and finally, stitches. Just in case it's a deep cut."

Everyone stared at her, "What? You guys must have been expecting that. Right?"

She scoffed and walked over to Boo when everyone continued to stare. Luckily, Mini didn't have to stitch his head together, but the rest of the stuff came in handy, especially the Advil. Man, that pill worked wonders.
