At Trav’s Home

 

It is now the next day. I am sitting down on the floor of my adoptive parents’ home in my Yoshi form. I felt the heat of the fire in the fireplace. Zeo and Fliter both sat on different sides of me.

“This place is nice, Travis!” Zeo says cheerfully. “I love it!”

I turn to Zeo and give her a smile. “If only Zephyr and Glory had heard you say that. This used to be their home. They took care of me when I went missing,” I turn to look at the fire, “Too bad they are now dead. I miss them. I named my hedgehog form after Zephyr.”

“Aw! Poor Trav!” Zeo says while putting her hands on my face and kisses me on the lips.

I was very surprised and didn’t expect the kiss; yet, I respond by putting my arms around her, closed my eyes, and started to kiss her softly. I returned to my Paratroopa form right when the kiss had finished. I started to blush. Zeo and Fliter started to giggle.

“Aw, Trav! I feel loved! You’re so cute when you’re like this!” Zeo puts her arms around my neck, through my cloak, and rested her head on my shoulder, “You got to be like this more often instead of running away.”

“Is that really how you see this?” I felt her cold, soft hands on the back of my neck. I suddenly start to blush even more.

“Indeed I do!” She giggles even more. 

“Keshi! This is so not like you!” Fliter says while laughing. “Way to go!”

I can’t believe this! Why is there so much commotion about that kiss? I thought.

The only thing heard from I was a tense moan replying to Flit’s comment. I turned my head to see Flarth and Trans talking as if they didn’t notice the three of us, but I noticed Trans starting to snicker as he talked.

“Hahaha…Perhaps it is for the best,” Trans says while shaking Flarth’s hand, “I don’t quite understand, but I guess I will when you return with your brother and sister.”

“Travallian informed me that he would let you, and the girl stay here until we return. Would that be okay with you?”

“Yeah. I can handle the girls as long as possible, but if I grow bored, I shan’t hesitate to look for you guys!”

“Deal!” Flarth says while looking out the window, “It’s almost nightfall. We shall be going soon. Trav, I think it would be best if you transform into your Zeo kissing vampire Yoshi form,” a mischievous expression appears on his face.

“Heh. Okay. Why?” I ask him with a smirk.

“I think you are even stronger that way. It’s just a suggestion. What do you think?”

“Possibly, but I’ll manage on the way I am right now.”

“You sure? Or do you fear that you might have an urge to bite Zeo’s neck or even kiss her again? Ahahahaha!” Flarth smiles. “I’m just kidding. Do you prefer your swift running hedgehog form?”

“No. I’ll become as hyper as these two if I do.” I point at Zeo and Fliter, “Yoshi form is fine. I will transform back to Paratroopa at the daytime.”

I take a deep breath. I raise my Emerald Staff up high, it starts to shine then it suddenly emits a red and blue flash of light, following blue smoke that starts to cover me head to toe. When the smoke fades, you can see that I am now in my vampire Yoshi form along with my Emerald Staff that has changed into an Emerald Sword.

“Whoa. Sweet!” Flarth says as he looks at my sword. “Could you make my Sapphire into a Sapphire Claws so I can put it on like a glove?”

“As you wish.” I lower my sword on to both Flarth’s gloves and his Sapphire. A white flash of light covers the whole room. When the light fades, Flarth’s silver claws become sapphire claws attached to the gloves that Flarth is already wearing. I sheath my sword.

“Alright! Now we’re all set!” he says, making fists, while starting to punch the air.

“Don’t get too hyper about this, Flarth,” I scratch the back of my head.

“Magical weapons…” Trans puts a hand under his chin, “Why didn’t I think of that?”

“How could you? Only we have magic here so far!” Flarth and I say at the same time.

“True, true,” Trans lets out a sigh, “I wish that I did, though,” he smiles, “See you two later.”

“Till we meet again, Trans,” says Flarth, “You’ll never get magic with your attitude.”

“Farewell. I’ll see you later,” I turn to Fliter and bow to her. “Don’t give Trans too much trouble,” I smirk. I turn to Zeo. I give her a hug and a kiss on her right cheek, “Later, Zeo. I promise to come back soon.”

“I’ll be waitin’ for ya,” she holds me slightly away from herself, “Don’t you turn out to be a Paratroopa, or a vampire Yoshi, not keepin’ his word!” She holds me closer, “But I already know that cute little you would never lie.”

“You two done there?” Flarth calls out, “You need some alone time together somewhere?”

“Aw, man! What a cute couple,” Trans smiles, “My sister, Zeo and Travallian. Sounds so perfect!”

They both start to laugh hard.

I pay no attention to them. I let go of Zeo, gave her a softhearted smile, and walked out the door.

“Hey!” Flarth runs out the door. “Wait for me!”

“Hurry up then!” I spread my wings and leaps into the air.
