In Which Things Explode (Reya)

[The Phantom]

"Okee, I'll go with ye." he finally agreed.

"Great, come on then." Raya urged him to follow her. "Ever been in a bomb shelter?"

[Alec Harrison]

"Great, come on then." Raya urged him to follow her. "Ever been in a bomb shelter?"

"Wull..." he started.

On his much too personal tour (he had led it himself) he had found what was labeled in large, red, ostentatious letters "Bomb shelter."

"Yup."

He tilted his head, smiling. He was sure the Dark Lord would appear in hall of change any moment. And he would go back to travel the never ending trails of time. Maybe his lord would even allow Raya to travel with them!

[The Phantom]

"Wull..." he started.

She waited for him to continue.

"Yup."

"Great! So what kind of food do ya like best?" Raya asked curiously as she lead the way to her makeshift home.

[Alec Harrison]

"Great! So what kind of food do ya like best?" Raya asked.

"Humm," he said thoughtfully, "E'm nat sure if this mo'ern food, but I rather fancy muffins. Especially blueberry ones." he responded, fondly thinking and blueberries and muffins, and the two together.

They were the perfect combination. The blueberries adding flavor to the otherwise bland muffins and the muffins sweetening the rather sharp, sour taste of the blueberries.

Wember was making himself hungry.

[The Phantom]

"Humm," he said thoughtfully, "E'm nat sure if this mo'ern food, but I rather fancy muffins. Especially blueberry ones."

"Good choice. Those are delicious." She nodded in agreement as she opened the door to the rather large bomb shelter, making sure her new buddy got down alright.

"So what should I call ya, little buddy?" Raya asked.

[Alec Harrison]

Wember kind of rumbled into the shelter, but he straightened himself up and brushed himself off.

"Wember's tha' name." he replied.

"Do ya' have food down 'ere?" he asked crookedly.

[The Phantom]

"Wember's tha' name." he replied.

"Nice. I like it."

"Do ya' have food down 'ere?" he asked crookedly.

"Of course. I got a bunch of food. Mainly preserved food, and jams." She answered as she sat on her sleeping bag. "I also 'ave beef jerky, and tuna in a can. Feel free to help ya self."

[Alec Harrison]

"Nice. I like it."

The brownie beamed.
"Thank ye Ms. Raya!"

"Of course. I got a bunch of food. Mainly preserved food, and jams." She answered as she sat on her sleeping bag. "I also 'ave beef jerky, and tuna in a can. Feel free to help ya self."

He raised a scrawny hand.
"Vegetarian." he admitted.

Wember made his way towards where he smelled food, and took a few pieces of bread and cheese, making himself a sandwhich.
"Thank ye again, Ms. Raya

[The Phantom]

The brownie beamed.
"Thank ye Ms. Raya!"

"You're welcome." She smiled at him.

He raised a scrawny hand.
"Vegetarian." he admitted.

"Oh. Alright. That's fine. Veggies are good for ya, I suppose. Though not brussel sprouts."

"Thank ye again, Ms. Raya." Wember said as he finished making his sandwich.

"It ain't no trouble, Wember." Raya couldn't help but feel like she could be good friends with the brownie. "So whacha's lord like?"

[Alec Harrison]

"Oh. Alright. That's fine. Veggies are good for ya, I suppose. Though not brussel sprouts."

Wember crossed his arms indignantly.
"I like tham." he claimed.

"It ain't no trouble, Wember." Raya assured him. "So whacha's lord like?"

Wember's smile widened and his mouth dropped open in an attempt to make his smile bigger.
"Me lord? Wull, e's really tall," he lifted his hand as high as possible, standing on the tips of his toes to lift it higher, "An' hair like the sun, but he always co'ers it up with an 'at or something. 'E has warm hands an' is usually smilin'...usually."

[The Phantom]

Wember's smile widened and his mouth dropped open in an attempt to make his smile bigger.
"Me lord? Wull, e's really tall," he lifted his hand as high as possible, standing on the tips of his toes to lift it higher, "An' hair like the sun, but he always co'ers it up with an 'at or something. 'E has warm hands an' is usually smilin'...usually."

"Well he sure sounds like somethin'." Raya smiled back. "He must be pretty great."

[Alec Harrison]

"Well he sure sounds like somethin'." Raya smiled back. "He must be pretty great."

"Ah, but 'e is!" he agreed.

And any minute, he would come for the brownie. He knew.
"He travels through the threads of the past and the future!"

Wember gazed off into space, imagining all the places he'd been, and all the places he was going.

[The Phantom]

"Ah, but 'e is!" he agreed. "He travels through the threads of the past and the future!"

"That sounds like loads of fun." She said in awe. "I can't wait to meet 'im."

[Alec Harrison]

"That sounds like loads of fun." She said in awe. "I can't wait to meet 'im."

Wember nodded violently.
"I can't wait for ya to."

Elsewhere, Alec was back. He had been back. But how would he know where Wember was?

He retrieved his sonic screwdriver and set it off, but couldn't find anything. He was checking streets now, scanning them with his eyes and his sonic. Eventually he was just setting it off for the noise, hoping it would lure the brownie out.

Alec was getting desperate.

Back underground, Wember could hear the sound. The small creature literally started shaking in anticipation.
"'E is 'ere- my lord is 'ere!"

[The Phantom]

"'E is 'ere- my lord is 'ere!" Wember said as he shook in anticipation.

"Well let's not keep 'im waitin' yah?" She grinned. "Lead the way, Wember."
