“Look Out! He’s
coming!” Several children in Gummadoon yelled as they flew past their mentor.
Turning to see what they were all yelling about they found a strange looking.
The only thing that gave him away was his eyes.
“Elliot?”
“Hi P'ucki,” The kid was so covered in mud from head to foot,
Grinning from ear to ear the kid tried to hug his mentor. The Gummi pushed the
kid away and told him he was going to get a bath.
“NO BATH! I DON”T
WANT BATH DON”T MAKE ME DO THAT!” The child cried out as he ran back out into
the woods.
“Aren’t you going to
go after him?”
“Na he’ll be back.”
“What makes you say
that?”
“he’s
a kid that’s what makes me say that” The others nodded not understanding what
he was doing headed off to tend to their own.
“Hi Blastie”
“What are you
doing?”
“Playing,” The kid was dressed in Blastus’s armor,
“I You Blastie, I You,” Hearing some snickering in the back
Blastus turned to see both Gumlittle and Plucki standing there, He gave both
that don’t say it look.
“Why not? it's, cute
though.” Plucki stopped for a moment and thought,
“You know Blastus if
I didn’t know any better I would think of you as father and son not anything
other than that.”
“Plucki I’m sensing
that something is wrong with him.”
“What do you mean?”
“Every since he’s
come back from his home he’s been acting like he’s attention-starved or
something?”
“What do you mean?
“I don’t know just
call it a feeling, Plucki.” The captain nodded and headed off to train for a
bit by himself. Then
to meet up with his Page when the child came in.
“NO
PUCKI NO BATH! I’m not
taking one!”
“Yes, you are Elliot, you’re a complete mess, just look at yourself. Now
you can either get in yourself or I can put you in and your backside sore.”
Elliot sighed and climbed in.
