Chapter 1: 10 years later… But first, in 1578... In France... There was a sort of thief whose name was Arthur Ridgewell. He was a master in stealing stuff, and his latest ‘treasure’ was a book. He doesn’t believe in ghosts, spirits and that kind of stuff. Yet, he felt like stealing a book with those things from the library. A sailor noticed him running away when he was running to his home, and he went after him. Suddenly, the sailor grabbed his coat and smashed him against the wall of a house and held him there. Sailor: “You seem suspicious, pal. Tell me, what’s so special about that book?” Arthur: “Well, good man, I was, and I still am, on my way home. It’s time to give my wife a gift, so I thought: A good book will be good enough, right?” The sailor wasn’t quite sure about that. He could be lying. But Arthur looked serious. Sailor: “Hm... Okay, I’ll let you go. But I’ll tell others whenever you’re really lying.” The sailor released Arthur. Arthur: “Thank you, sir.” Arthur ran back home again. The sailor watched him a bit. Once Arthur was back home, he opened the book. He was very curious what was written in there. He saw a picture of a creature without a face and a white skin color and he saw a picture of a creature with tentacles and bloody eyes. He looked at the bottom, and saw the text for the creature with bloody eyes was faded away. He was reading it and said what was written there. Arthur: “Summon... The almighty beast from... the underground?...” The book started to glow. Arthur had a shock when the book did that and he dropped it. Suddenly, a giant flash appeared and it almost made Arthur blind. 10 seconds later, the flash was gone. Nothing really happened. Arthur kicked the book. Arthur: “Grrrr! A stupid pile of paper, that’s what this is! Worthless! Useless!” Arthur was pretty mad. He decided to sell the book 3 months later, but he got caught and was set into prison because he stole it. But what did the book do? Well… 13th of June, 1856. 14:00 PM. Somewhere in the USA A boy with some newspapers was yelling things about the news. Newspaper boy: “Extra news! New unknown creature sightings in the forest nearby!” A female with blonde, curly hair and blue eyes went to the boy. Her name was Isabella. She was wearing a fancy dress from that time. And she was 23 years old. She gave some money to the boy for the newspaper. In exchange for the money, the boy gave a newspaper to Isabella. She started to read the newspaper. Isabella: “Hmm... “New sightings of a mysterious creature in Oldhouse Forest. Could this be the new human?”” She was walking to her mansion, but on the way there, she saw a man following her all the time. She was curious what the reason was for that. Isabella: “Excuse me, but why are you following me?” The man looked up. (As he was looking down first) He smiled. Man: “Ah hello, miss. It’s a good day today, isn’t it?” Isabella: “Heh heh... Yeah, it sure is.” Man: “How are you today?” Isabella was thinking: Okay, three options: he’s pretending to be nice, he’s been drinking a lot or he is obsessed with the good weather. Isabella: “I’m doing pretty well. I’m about to go home to my family. How about you, sir?” She was standing in front of the man. The man smiled when she asked that. He was grabbing something from is pocket. Isabella noticed that. Man: “I just wanted to give you this, because you were so nice just a moment ago.” Isabella saw the man grabbed a bunch of screws, which were surprisingly molten like so, that the pointy sides are faced the same direction. Isabella: “Uhh… Thanks?” She was about to take it, but the man pulled back his hand. Then, he raised the hand holding the creation and attacked Isabella with it. He stabbed Isabella’s arm with the screws. Isabella: “Aaaah!! What have you done!?” The man grabbed a wooden plank which laid next to them (by the way, their location was a small street, surrounded by houses) and whacked Isabella with it. She fell on the ground and was motionless. Isabella was dead now. Mostly you would be knocked out, but this plank appeared to have a pointy screw sticking out. And that spot hit Isabella’s head. The man picked up the newspaper she dropped. He looked at Isabella. Man: “Heh… Worthless… Useless…” He grabbed a small book and laid it next to her. Man: “By the way, I believe this was yours, Isa…” The man laid down the plank and walked away. As expected, Isabella’s body was found 12 minutes later. People who surrounded the street were sad and prayed for her and her family. Even the newspaper boy was there. And the husband of Isabella, called Harris, picked up the book the man laid down. Harris: “Wow, I haven’t seen this one in a while.” Harris took the kids (who were very shocked and sad) home and tried to calm them. Then they took a look in the book. It was the family tree of Isabella Ridgewell. It all started with Arthur Ridgewell, apparently. Harris told his kids Thomas(7) and Julie(2) about the book. Harris: “This book we’re reading now contains our family.” Thomas: “Oh wow! Am I gonna get famous by this?” Harris: “I’m afraid not, Thomas. This has to stay in our family.” 13th of June, 2026… At the airport which lies somewhere in the USA A taxi went to the airport. Inside it were Maurice Ridgewell (the father of Philip.) and Philip Ridgewell himself. (See ‘My Imagination – Chapter 1 – 8’) Maurice and Philip were returning to France, and so Philip’s friends were going to say farewell. A white van was behind the taxi as well. On the van’s sides was written ‘The Howling Wolfs’, which was, surprisingly, the name of Mike’s band. And there could be a maximum of 7 people in the van, plus the driver. The two vehicles stopped in front of the airport. The van’s door was opened and Zoe, Jake and Anna went out of it. Ryan was the driver. Ryan: “I think it’s a good idea for you guys to take driving lessons.” Zoe and Jake were looking a bit skeptical at Ryan. Anna just looked down a bit. Ryan: “What? What did I say wrong now?” Zoe and Jake (Who held each other’s hands) were going inside the airport. Anna looked at Ryan a bit and then went after them. Ryan was left alone. He was looking left, to the taxi Philip and his father were in. Philip went out of the taxi. Ryan was about to offer some help. Ryan: “Hey, uh… Phil? Mind if I help you with the suitcase?” Philip: “Oh, that’s not needed. I can carry my own suitcase. Still, thanks.” Ryan felt a bit useless. No attention to him, no tasks for him. Nothing. He decided to go after the others. Once he was there, Philip had to wait for his plane and in the meantime, he was talking with his friends. Ryan: “So, what did I miss?” Zoe heard something from Philip which wasn’t really happy. Zoe: “Oh my god, that really happened?” Philip looked sad. Philip: “Yeah. And there’s nothing we can do about it anyway.” Ryan: “What? Tell me, what’s wrong?” Jake: “Philip’s crush broke up and they had a fight.” Ryan: “Oh… Well, I’m sorry to hear that, Phil.” Philip: “It’s okay, Ryan. Otherwise I wouldn’t been telling this.” Ryan: “But hey, at least you’re returning to Paris, the romantic city, am I right?” Everyone was silent. Anna was looking for Philip’s gate whether it’s open or not. Ryan: “I didn’t mean to offend you guys.” Jake and Zoe suddenly were laughing a bit. They saw someone doing something behind Ryan. The person was moving away like so, that every time Ryan looked away, the person was behind Ryan’s head. Ryan: “Haha… Very funny, Mike.” It indeed was Mike who did that. Apparently, his date with Jess was over, as they were actually at the amusement park. Mike went in front of Ryan. Mike: “How did you know it was me?” Ryan: “Well, from all of us, only we are the ‘craziest’.” Mike: “That’s true.” Jake went up, as he was sitting on a bench next to Philip first. Jake: “I need to do something quick. I’ve noticed I have some paint on my shirt.” Mike: “Duuude… Were you painting again?” Ryan: “Geez…” Jake: “Yes, and now I’m out for a while.” Jake went to the toilets to clean his shirt. Meanwhile, Philip was a bit cheered up. Philip: “Thanks, Mike. I feel a bit better now.” Mike: “Did something happen, then?” Mike went to his knees. Anna saw the gate Philip was aiming for was open. Anna: “Guys… it’s open now.” Philip went up from the bench he was sitting on. He grabbed his suitcase. Philip: “Well, then we should go.” Zoe came up to Philip and gave him a hug. Ryan: “Pffft… I think Zoe isn’t enough.” Mike was looking a bit skeptical when Ryan said that. Mike: “And why is that? Zoe already has a husband.” Ryan: “I know, but I said that because Philip is a girl magnet.” Mike: “You’re disgusting.” Ryan: “You’re insane and stupid.” Zoe released Philip and laid her hand over his shoulder. Zoe: “Take care, Philip. And remember: We’ll have contact once in the 2 weeks.” Philip: “I know, Zoe. I’ll call you guys once we’ve arrived back home.” Mike moved his fist to Philip. He wants to say goodbye in his style. They fisted each other. Mike: “Take care, bro. And remember what Ryan said: You may have all the ladies as fast as possible, but I need to add something: Don’t go too far.” Philip: “Eh… Thanks, Mike.” Mike lowered his hand. Mike: “I mean it, Phil. Don’t do crazy stuff overall. It’s not cool.” Philip: “Oh guys, one more thing: Give this to Jake. Actually, it’s for all of you. But I think Jake can keep it in his shelf.” Philip gave a present to his friends. It looks like a book is inside it: It doesn’t make noises when you shake it and it’s a bit flat and big. Mike was a bit sad in the meantime. Philip: “Mike?” Mike: “Philip?...” Philip: “What’s wrong?” Mike: “Meh… It’s just that… *sigh*” Zoe laid a hand over Mike’s shoulder. She could nearly reach him, as she’s not that tall. She’s slightly taller than Ryan, who is the shortest. Zoe: “What’s wrong, Mike?” Mike: “It’s just too hard for me to see my best friend leave us…” Anna: “It’s going to depart in 5 minutes, guys…” Ryan: “Geez, Anna. So focused on Philip’s plane…” Anna: “Yep… And I don’t think Philip wants to miss his plane.” Philip: “And Anna, I got something for you too.” Anna turned around. She saw Philip holding a present in his hands. Anna: “Hmm?” Anna opened the present, which did make noises and had a weird shape. Anna: “Oh my god, a new pair of headphones!!! Oh thank you, Philip! Now my gaming hobby will be complete!” The others were looking a bit… neutral when they saw Anna being so happy about that. Philip: “You’re welcome, but now I REALLY got to go. Take care in the USA!” Mike: “*sigh* Bye, best friend!” Zoe: “Bye, Phil!” Ryan: “Have fun in France!” Anna: “Bye!!” Jake hasn’t returned yet. Zoe noticed that when they were done saying goodbye and waving to Philip. Zoe: “Guys, where’s Jake?” Jake came up to them. Apparently, Zoe was looking at the wrong toilets. Jake: “I’m back.” Ryan: “What took you so long?” Jake: “Well, I was talking with someone.” Ryan: “That explains much.” The friends decided to go home. They took the van (obviously) and were going to their own homes. Mike was the driver. He stopped in front of Zoe and Jake’s house once the others were home too. Mike had Jake’s gift next to him and gave it to him. Mike: “Hey, Jake. Here: Your gift.” Jake took it from Mike. Jake: “Thanks. Take care.” Mike: “No, YOU take care.” Jake was look at Mike with a confused expression. Mike: “Just kidding. Have a good night.” It was getting dark, as it was already 21:00 PM. Jake: “Same to you.” Jake closed the door of the van and Mike raced away. Jake and Zoe went inside their house and turned the lights on. Zoe fell on the couch. She was very, very tired. And to think she has 2 days to rest before going to her work the entire day, from 6:00 AM to 16:00 PM. She is a teacher at, surprisingly, the lower classes of the school she used to be at as a school student. Jake was opening the gift and as expected, a book was the gift. He saw there was no title on the book. He opened the book and saw a lot of pictures and paintings in it. All based on the family of Philip. Jake heard that Zoe fell a Zoe: “Can you come a bit closer, Jakey?” Jake was sitting on the couch Zoe laid on. He moved his head a bit closer to hers. She gave him a kiss on the mouth. She laid her head back on the pillow and Jake moved his head further away. They were silent. Suddenly… Zoe: “I’ve been thinking about something, Jakey… And I thought I should discuss it with you first.” Jake: “Hmm?” Zoe: “Well, this has been a huge dream of mine a long time, but I’m curious what you think about this.” Jake: “And what is it?” Zoe: “It’s about starting a family. I always wanted a family with my beloved one…” Jake: “…” Zoe: “So what do you think about it, Jakey?” Jake: “Well… It’ll cost money, a lot of money in total. And on top of that and above everything else: Are we good enough? Are we even ready for it?” Zoe: “Well… We are a bit soft to others, so I think that we are going to be good parents. And about the money, remember we have our jobs?” Jake: “Remember that one of us needs to take care of the child?” Zoe: “Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Well, one of us can stay home and take care of the child.” Jake: “Okay, well… I’m not 100 percent sure about this, but I’m going to say I’m in.” Zoe went up. She was leaning with her arms on the pillow. Zoe: “You don’t have to say yes, you’re not forced to say yes.” Jake: “No, I’m in. I’m serious.” Zoe: “Really?!” Jake: “Yep.” Zoe hugged Jake tight. Zoe: “Oh my god, this is great! You really want my dream come true!” Jake suddenly saw a mysterious thing outside the kitchen window which was in his sight. He yelled and fell on the couch. Jake: “GAAAH!” Zoe: “What? What’s wrong?!” Jake looked back at the window, but didn’t see the creature. Weird. He seriously thought the creature was there. Jake: “Oh, nothing. I thought I saw a snake.” Zoe: “Haha! There are no snakes here, Jakey. Just us two. All alone…” Zoe said that pretty silent. Jake knew she wanted to point something out. But he had to Jake: “Eh… Hold on.” He decided to go and lay on the other couch in the living room. He grabbed a pillow but couldn’t find a blanket. Jake sighed. Jake: “Do I literally have to go upstairs and get…” Jake saw a blanket laying over the couch. Apparently, it was there the whole time for some reason. He grabbed it and the pillow and made a bed from the couch. But before he went to Zoe: “Jake?” Jake: “Yes, honey?” Zoe: “I want to ask something…” Jake: “Ask ahead.” Zoe: “Well, about my dream… Should we stop dreaming now or later?...” Jake knew what she meant with that. She meant that she asked Jake when they should start a family. Jake: “Eh… What do you want?” Zoe: “Well, I asked you, so you may choose.” Jake: “Hmm…” Zoe went off her couch and went next to Jake, who was already laying on his couch. She was petting Jake as if he’s a dog. Zoe (Who said this very soft): You can choose what we should do. Jake: “You know what? I’m in for now.” Meanwhile… I won’t describe what happened after that, whether it’s appropriate or not. I’ll have to move on with a different scene, because a man was returning home. His name was Ryan (Yes, our Ryan) and he finally returned home. He was going out with his Golden Retriever dog Ricky. He was, once he was home, closing the door and turned on the lights. As usual, it’s an enormous paper mess. Though Anna’s house is a bigger mess, this is already bad. Ryan released Ricky and was petting him. Ryan: “After such a long walk, you deserved a treat.” Ricky heard the word ‘treat’ and was already happy. He went to his bed and sat there, waiting patiently for a treat. Ryan: “Haha! Silly dog. It’s just that the doctor said that you must not get a lot of these, otherwise you’d get two now.” Ryan went to the kitchen and grabbed a can with dog treats. He opened the can, but there were no dog treats in it. He looked elsewhere, but couldn’t find it there either. Ryan: “Hmmm… Did I literally gave you too much of those?” Ricky was laying on his bed, staring at Ryan with big eyes. He was running out of patience. Ryan: “Sorry, pal. *sigh* I guess I have to buy so-… Wait! I know!” Ryan dashed to the kitchen and opened the fridge. He grabbed some ham and gave Ricky some. Ricky seemed to love the ham. He ate it really quickly. Ryan: “Geez. Please, chew at least a bit on it.” Ryan gave Ricky another piece of ham, and again, it was gone in a few milliseconds. Ryan: “Wow, you sure love the ham.” Ryan pet Ricky and went to the TV. He turned it on. Meanwhile, he walked back to the kitchen and grabbed some chips and took some in a bowl. Meanwhile, the news was on. Newsman: “…the victim’s name was Isabella Ridgewell and died in 1856. And since then, as I said, the Ridgewell Foundation will plan an activity each 13th of June.” Ryan dropped everything he had in his hands: Chips and cola. Well, a bottle of cola, but still: it broke. Ricky went to Ryan to ‘clean up’ the mess. Ryan: “Ridgewell… That’s Philip’s family! He is from the ONLY Ridgewell family around here!” He grabbed the phone and called Jake and Zoe, not knowing they were a Ryan: “Dang it. Accept it, you…!” The phone call was accepted. Ryan: “Ah, Hello guys, Ryan here. I have a question: I’ve seen the news and I noticed some Isabella Ridgewell was on the news, and some Isabella Foundation was hosting an activity but Philip has to do with it I think. What do you guys think and can I borrow that book? I’m pretty sure it belongs to Philip and want to know if it contains useful information.” ???: “…” Ryan: “Hello? Jake? Zoe?” Suddenly, a dark and demonic voice was speaking. ???: “Go away or you’re next…” Click! The phone call was ended. Ryan didn’t believe what just happened. Was that Jake? Then he must be drinking WAY too much. So that wasn’t Jake. Ryan decided to go to them. Ryan: “Ricky, stay. And take care of the house.” Ricky was a bit sick because he ate too much chips and drank the cola. Ryan hopped into his car and went to Jake and Zoe. Once he was there, he looked through the window. Ryan: “Hmm… They’re probably already a He went out of the car and dashed to the door. He looked to that window as well. He knocked the door very softly. But after 4 times, he stopped. Ryan: “What am I doing… Knocking on the door of two ???: “Yes, Ryan?...” Ryan looked around. It was Zoe. He had a blanket around her. And she looked very tired. Ryan: “I just called you guys, but I heard a weird voice from you guys.” Zoe: “But… The phone didn’t rang here.” Ryan was confused. He looked on his mobile phone and checks the number. It’s indeed the number from Zoe’s house. But he can’t start a fight with his friends now. They can’t win now anyway, as they’re too tired. Ryan almost forgot WHY he called in the first place. Ryan: “Oh, why I called was because I’ve seen the news. And it mentioned a family member of Philip, and I’m curious what that book from Philip is, so can I borrow it for 3 days?” Zoe went inside and grabbed the book. She gave it to Ryan. Zoe: “3 days. No longer. And don’t destroy it, please.” Ryan: “Promised.” Ryan went back to his car. He waved to Zoe and she went back inside. Ryan went inside the car and went back home. But on his way, he was thinking: Wait a second… Why did Zoe have a blanket around her? She doesn’t have it cold easily… Oh well. Nothing important, I guess. The following morning… Zoe woke up after having a horrible nightmare. She doesn’t know why, but it was about a mysterious creature who killed Ryan with his tentacles. Blood was going all over the place. And he yelled a lot. Zoe wanted to forget that nightmare, but couldn’t. She noticed she was still laying on the couch, in Jake’s arms apparently. She went off the couch and was going upstairs. She had almost no clothes on as it was hot that night. Just her underwear. She checked her weight. But it surprised her she gained weight a bit. She had a feeling that something was wrong. Or not. She didn’t knew. She was closing the bathroom door and decided to take a visit to their very own toilet. Meanwhile, Jake woke up as well. He noticed Zoe was gone. He had to Jake: “Wowowow...” A little bit of the coffee fell on the wooden floor. Zoe: “Oh my god, Jake!! I’m so happy right now!!!” Jake: “What? Why? It’s okay if you’re happy, but why?” Zoe held Jake’s hands. She smiled at Jake and kissed him. Zoe: “We’re going to have a baby!!!” Jake dropped his entire cup of coffee. The coffee was splattered everywhere, and Zoe had to watch out as she was still in her underwear. Jake: “You’re kidding, right?...” Zoe: “No! I’m not kidding! *giggle*” Jake had a feeling that he had to faint. He just couldn’t believe that. He won’t believe that. He’s going to be a father? Jake was thinking about him being a pretty bad father. That’s something he feared his entire life. Being a bad father. Jake: “Wow… That’s… Incredible!” Zoe: “I know, right? We’ll have to tell the others as soon as I’m done on school!” Jake: “Wait, you got to work now?” Zoe looked at the clock. Meanwhile, Jake was cleaning up the mess with the coffee. Zoe: “Oh shoot! I overslept!” Zoe prepared to go quickly and dashed to school. She knew there was a brief moment at school every morning and it should end in 4 minutes. Meanwhile, Jake was enjoying his breakfast… alone. To be continued… Hey guys, be sure to read my other stories in order to understand some of these things written in here.

A stupid pile of paper, that’s what this is! Worthless! Useless!” Arthur was pretty mad. He decided to sell the book 3 months later, but he got caught and was set into prison because he stole it. But what did the book do? Well… 13th of June, 1856. 14:00 PM. Somewhere in the USA A boy with some newspapers was yelling things about the news. Newspaper boy: “Extra news! New unknown creature sightings in the forest nearby!” A female with blonde, curly hair and blue eyes went to the boy. Her name was Isabella. She was wearing a fancy dress from that time. And she was 23 years old. She gave some money to the boy for the newspaper. In exchange for the money, the boy gave a newspaper to Isabella. She started to read the newspaper. Isabella: “Hmm... “New sightings of a mysterious creature in Oldhouse Forest. Could this be the new human?”” She was walking to her mansion, but on the way there, she saw a man following her all the time. She was curious what the reason was for that. Isabella: “Excuse me, but why are you following me?” The man looked up. (As he was looking down first) He smiled. Man: “Ah hello, miss. It’s a good day today, isn’t it?” Isabella: “Heh heh... Yeah, it sure is.” Man: “How are you today?” Isabella was thinking: Okay, three options: he’s pretending to be nice, he’s been drinking a lot or he is obsessed with the good weather. Isabella: “I’m doing pretty well. I’m about to go home to my family. How about you, sir?” She was standing in front of the man. The man smiled when she asked that. He was grabbing something from is pocket. Isabella noticed that. Man: “I just wanted to give you this, because you were so nice just a moment ago.” Isabella saw the man grabbed a bunch of screws, which were surprisingly molten like so, that the pointy sides are faced the same direction. Isabella: “Uhh… Thanks?” She was about to take it, but the man pulled back his hand. Then, he raised the hand holding the creation and attacked Isabella with it. He stabbed Isabella’s arm with the screws. Isabella: “Aaaah!! What have you done!?” The man grabbed a wooden plank which laid next to them (by the way, their location was a small street, surrounded by houses) and whacked Isabella with it. She fell on the ground and was motionless. Isabella was dead now. Mostly you would be knocked out, but this plank appeared to have a pointy screw sticking out. And that spot hit Isabella’s head. The man picked up the newspaper she dropped. He looked at Isabella. Man: “Heh… Worthless… Useless…” He grabbed a small book and laid it next to her. Man: “By the way, I believe this was yours, Isa…” The man laid down the plank and walked away. As expected, Isabella’s body was found 12 minutes later. People who surrounded the street were sad and prayed for her and her family. Even the newspaper boy was there. And the husband of Isabella, called Harris, picked up the book the man laid down. Harris: “Wow, I haven’t seen this one in a while.” Harris took the kids (who were very shocked and sad) home and tried to calm them. Then they took a look in the book. It was the family tree of Isabella Ridgewell. It all started with Arthur Ridgewell, apparently. Harris told his kids Thomas(7) and Julie(2) about the book. Harris: “This book we’re reading now contains our family.” Thomas: “Oh wow! Am I gonna get famous by this?” Harris: “I’m afraid not, Thomas. This has to stay in our family.” 13th of June, 2026… At the airport which lies somewhere in the USA A taxi went to the airport. Inside it were Maurice Ridgewell (the father of Philip.) and Philip Ridgewell himself. (See ‘My Imagination – Chapter 1 – 8’) Maurice and Philip were returning to France, and so Philip’s friends were going to say farewell. A white van was behind the taxi as well. On the van’s sides was written ‘The Howling Wolfs’, which was, surprisingly, the name of Mike’s band. And there could be a maximum of 7 people in the van, plus the driver. The two vehicles stopped in front of the airport. The van’s door was opened and Zoe, Jake and Anna went out of it. Ryan was the driver. Ryan: “I think it’s a good idea for you guys to take driving lessons.” Zoe and Jake were looking a bit skeptical at Ryan. Anna just looked down a bit. Ryan: “What? What did I say wrong now?” Zoe and Jake (Who held each other’s hands) were going inside the airport. Anna looked at Ryan a bit and then went after them. Ryan was left alone. He was looking left, to the taxi Philip and his father were in. Philip went out of the taxi. Ryan was about to offer some help. Ryan: “Hey, uh… Phil? Mind if I help you with the suitcase?” Philip: “Oh, that’s not needed. I can carry my own suitcase. Still, thanks.” Ryan felt a bit useless. No attention to him, no tasks for him. Nothing. He decided to go after the others. Once he was there, Philip had to wait for his plane and in the meantime, he was talking with his friends. Ryan: “So, what did I miss?” Zoe heard something from Philip which wasn’t really happy. Zoe: “Oh my god, that really happened?” Philip looked sad. Philip: “Yeah. And there’s nothing we can do about it anyway.” Ryan: “What? Tell me, what’s wrong?” Jake: “Philip’s crush broke up and they had a fight.” Ryan: “Oh… Well, I’m sorry to hear that, Phil.” Philip: “It’s okay, Ryan. Otherwise I wouldn’t been telling this.” Ryan: “But hey, at least you’re returning to Paris, the romantic city, am I right?” Everyone was silent. Anna was looking for Philip’s gate whether it’s open or not. Ryan: “I didn’t mean to offend you guys.” Jake and Zoe suddenly were laughing a bit. They saw someone doing something behind Ryan. The person was moving away like so, that every time Ryan looked away, the person was behind Ryan’s head. Ryan: “Haha… Very funny, Mike.” It indeed was Mike who did that. Apparently, his date with Jess was over, as they were actually at the amusement park. Mike went in front of Ryan. Mike: “How did you know it was me?” Ryan: “Well, from all of us, only we are the ‘craziest’.” Mike: “That’s true.” Jake went up, as he was sitting on a bench next to Philip first. Jake: “I need to do something quick. I’ve noticed I have some paint on my shirt.” Mike: “Duuude… Were you painting again?” Ryan: “Geez…” Jake: “Yes, and now I’m out for a while.” Jake went to the toilets to clean his shirt. Meanwhile, Philip was a bit cheered up. Philip: “Thanks, Mike. I feel a bit better now.” Mike: “Did something happen, then?” Mike went to his knees. Anna saw the gate Philip was aiming for was open. Anna: “Guys… it’s open now.” Philip went up from the bench he was sitting on. He grabbed his suitcase. Philip: “Well, then we should go.” Zoe came up to Philip and gave him a hug. Ryan: “Pffft… I think Zoe isn’t enough.” Mike was looking a bit skeptical when Ryan said that. Mike: “And why is that? Zoe already has a husband.” Ryan: “I know, but I said that because Philip is a girl magnet.” Mike: “You’re disgusting.” Ryan: “You’re insane and stupid.” Zoe released Philip and laid her hand over his shoulder. Zoe: “Take care, Philip. And remember: We’ll have contact once in the 2 weeks.” Philip: “I know, Zoe. I’ll call you guys once we’ve arrived back home.” Mike moved his fist to Philip. He wants to say goodbye in his style. They fisted each other. Mike: “Take care, bro. And remember what Ryan said: You may have all the ladies as fast as possible, but I need to add something: Don’t go too far.” Philip: “Eh… Thanks, Mike.” Mike lowered his hand. Mike: “I mean it, Phil. Don’t do crazy stuff overall. It’s not cool.” Philip: “Oh guys, one more thing: Give this to Jake. Actually, it’s for all of you. But I think Jake can keep it in his shelf.” Philip gave a present to his friends. It looks like a book is inside it: It doesn’t make noises when you shake it and it’s a bit flat and big. Mike was a bit sad in the meantime. Philip: “Mike?” Mike: “Philip?...” Philip: “What’s wrong?” Mike: “Meh… It’s just that… *sigh*” Zoe laid a hand over Mike’s shoulder. She could nearly reach him, as she’s not that tall. She’s slightly taller than Ryan, who is the shortest. Zoe: “What’s wrong, Mike?” Mike: “It’s just too hard for me to see my best friend leave us…” Anna: “It’s going to depart in 5 minutes, guys…” Ryan: “Geez, Anna. So focused on Philip’s plane…” Anna: “Yep… And I don’t think Philip wants to miss his plane.” Philip: “And Anna, I got something for you too.” Anna turned around. She saw Philip holding a present in his hands. Anna: “Hmm?” Anna opened the present, which did make noises and had a weird shape. Anna: “Oh my god, a new pair of headphones!!! Oh thank you, Philip! Now my gaming hobby will be complete!” The others were looking a bit… neutral when they saw Anna being so happy about that. Philip: “You’re welcome, but now I REALLY got to go. Take care in the USA!” Mike: “*sigh* Bye, best friend!” Zoe: “Bye, Phil!” Ryan: “Have fun in France!” Anna: “Bye!!” Jake hasn’t returned yet. Zoe noticed that when they were done saying goodbye and waving to Philip. Zoe: “Guys, where’s Jake?” Jake came up to them. Apparently, Zoe was looking at the wrong toilets. Jake: “I’m back.” Ryan: “What took you so long?” Jake: “Well, I was talking with someone.” Ryan: “That explains much.” The friends decided to go home. They took the van (obviously) and were going to their own homes. Mike was the driver. He stopped in front of Zoe and Jake’s house once the others were home too. Mike had Jake’s gift next to him and gave it to him. Mike: “Hey, Jake. Here: Your gift.” Jake took it from Mike. Jake: “Thanks. Take care.” Mike: “No, YOU take care.” Jake was look at Mike with a confused expression. Mike: “Just kidding. Have a good night.” It was getting dark, as it was already 21:00 PM. Jake: “Same to you.” Jake closed the door of the van and Mike raced away. Jake and Zoe went inside their house and turned the lights on. Zoe fell on the couch. She was very, very tired. And to think she has 2 days to rest before going to her work the entire day, from 6:00 AM to 16:00 PM. She is a teacher at, surprisingly, the lower classes of the school she used to be at as a school student. Jake was opening the gift and as expected, a book was the gift. He saw there was no title on the book. He opened the book and saw a lot of pictures and paintings in it. All based on the family of Philip. Jake heard that Zoe fell a Zoe: “Can you come a bit closer, Jakey?” Jake was sitting on the couch Zoe laid on. He moved his head a bit closer to hers. She gave him a kiss on the mouth. She laid her head back on the pillow and Jake moved his head further away. They were silent. Suddenly… Zoe: “I’ve been thinking about something, Jakey… And I thought I should discuss it with you first.” Jake: “Hmm?” Zoe: “Well, this has been a huge dream of mine a long time, but I’m curious what you think about this.” Jake: “And what is it?” Zoe: “It’s about starting a family. I always wanted a family with my beloved one…” Jake: “…” Zoe: “So what do you think about it, Jakey?” Jake: “Well… It’ll cost money, a lot of money in total. And on top of that and above everything else: Are we good enough? Are we even ready for it?” Zoe: “Well… We are a bit soft to others, so I think that we are going to be good parents. And about the money, remember we have our jobs?” Jake: “Remember that one of us needs to take care of the child?” Zoe: “Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Well, one of us can stay home and take care of the child.” Jake: “Okay, well… I’m not 100 percent sure about this, but I’m going to say I’m in.” Zoe went up. She was leaning with her arms on the pillow. Zoe: “You don’t have to say yes, you’re not forced to say yes.” Jake: “No, I’m in. I’m serious.” Zoe: “Really?!” Jake: “Yep.” Zoe hugged Jake tight. Zoe: “Oh my god, this is great! You really want my dream come true!” Jake suddenly saw a mysterious thing outside the kitchen window which was in his sight. He yelled and fell on the couch. Jake: “GAAAH!” Zoe: “What? What’s wrong?!” Jake looked back at the window, but didn’t see the creature. Weird. He seriously thought the creature was there. Jake: “Oh, nothing. I thought I saw a snake.” Zoe: “Haha! There are no snakes here, Jakey. Just us two. All alone…” Zoe said that pretty silent. Jake knew she wanted to point something out. But he had to Jake: “Eh… Hold on.” He decided to go and lay on the other couch in the living room. He grabbed a pillow but couldn’t find a blanket. Jake sighed. Jake: “Do I literally have to go upstairs and get…” Jake saw a blanket laying over the couch. Apparently, it was there the whole time for some reason. He grabbed it and the pillow and made a bed from the couch. But before he went to Zoe: “Jake?” Jake: “Yes, honey?” Zoe: “I want to ask something…” Jake: “Ask ahead.” Zoe: “Well, about my dream… Should we stop dreaming now or later?...” Jake knew what she meant with that. She meant that she asked Jake when they should start a family. Jake: “Eh… What do you want?” Zoe: “Well, I asked you, so you may choose.” Jake: “Hmm…” Zoe went off her couch and went next to Jake, who was already laying on his couch. She was petting Jake as if he’s a dog. Zoe (Who said this very soft): You can choose what we should do. Jake: “You know what? I’m in for now.” Meanwhile… I won’t describe what happened after that, whether it’s appropriate or not. I’ll have to move on with a different scene, because a man was returning home. His name was Ryan (Yes, our Ryan) and he finally returned home. He was going out with his Golden Retriever dog Ricky. He was, once he was home, closing the door and turned on the lights. As usual, it’s an enormous paper mess. Though Anna’s house is a bigger mess, this is already bad. Ryan released Ricky and was petting him. Ryan: “After such a long walk, you deserved a treat.” Ricky heard the word ‘treat’ and was already happy. He went to his bed and sat there, waiting patiently for a treat. Ryan: “Haha! Silly dog. It’s just that the doctor said that you must not get a lot of these, otherwise you’d get two now.” Ryan went to the kitchen and grabbed a can with dog treats. He opened the can, but there were no dog treats in it. He looked elsewhere, but couldn’t find it there either. Ryan: “Hmmm… Did I literally gave you too much of those?” Ricky was laying on his bed, staring at Ryan with big eyes. He was running out of patience. Ryan: “Sorry, pal. *sigh* I guess I have to buy so-… Wait! I know!” Ryan dashed to the kitchen and opened the fridge. He grabbed some ham and gave Ricky some. Ricky seemed to love the ham. He ate it really quickly. Ryan: “Geez. Please, chew at least a bit on it.” Ryan gave Ricky another piece of ham, and again, it was gone in a few milliseconds. Ryan: “Wow, you sure love the ham.” Ryan pet Ricky and went to the TV. He turned it on. Meanwhile, he walked back to the kitchen and grabbed some chips and took some in a bowl. Meanwhile, the news was on. Newsman: “…the victim’s name was Isabella Ridgewell and died in 1856. And since then, as I said, the Ridgewell Foundation will plan an activity each 13th of June.” Ryan dropped everything he had in his hands: Chips and cola. Well, a bottle of cola, but still: it broke. Ricky went to Ryan to ‘clean up’ the mess. Ryan: “Ridgewell… That’s Philip’s family! He is from the ONLY Ridgewell family around here!” He grabbed the phone and called Jake and Zoe, not knowing they were a Ryan: “Dang it. Accept it, you…!” The phone call was accepted. Ryan: “Ah, Hello guys, Ryan here. I have a question: I’ve seen the news and I noticed some Isabella Ridgewell was on the news, and some Isabella Foundation was hosting an activity but Philip has to do with it I think. What do you guys think and can I borrow that book? I’m pretty sure it belongs to Philip and want to know if it contains useful information.” ???: “…” Ryan: “Hello? Jake? Zoe?” Suddenly, a dark and demonic voice was speaking. ???: “Go away or you’re next…” Click! The phone call was ended. Ryan didn’t believe what just happened. Was that Jake? Then he must be drinking WAY too much. So that wasn’t Jake. Ryan decided to go to them. Ryan: “Ricky, stay. And take care of the house.” Ricky was a bit sick because he ate too much chips and drank the cola. Ryan hopped into his car and went to Jake and Zoe. Once he was there, he looked through the window. Ryan: “Hmm… They’re probably already a He went out of the car and dashed to the door. He looked to that window as well. He knocked the door very softly. But after 4 times, he stopped. Ryan: “What am I doing… Knocking on the door of two ???: “Yes, Ryan?...” Ryan looked around. It was Zoe. He had a blanket around her. And she looked very tired. Ryan: “I just called you guys, but I heard a weird voice from you guys.” Zoe: “But… The phone didn’t rang here.” Ryan was confused. He looked on his mobile phone and checks the number. It’s indeed the number from Zoe’s house. But he can’t start a fight with his friends now. They can’t win now anyway, as they’re too tired. Ryan almost forgot WHY he called in the first place. Ryan: “Oh, why I called was because I’ve seen the news. And it mentioned a family member of Philip, and I’m curious what that book from Philip is, so can I borrow it for 3 days?” Zoe went inside and grabbed the book. She gave it to Ryan. Zoe: “3 days. No longer. And don’t destroy it, please.” Ryan: “Promised.” Ryan went back to his car. He waved to Zoe and she went back inside. Ryan went inside the car and went back home. But on his way, he was thinking: Wait a second… Why did Zoe have a blanket around her? She doesn’t have it cold easily… Oh well. Nothing important, I guess. The following morning… Zoe woke up after having a horrible nightmare. She doesn’t know why, but it was about a mysterious creature who killed Ryan with his tentacles. Blood was going all over the place. And he yelled a lot. Zoe wanted to forget that nightmare, but couldn’t. She noticed she was still laying on the couch, in Jake’s arms apparently. She went off the couch and was going upstairs. She had almost no clothes on as it was hot that night. Just her underwear. She checked her weight. But it surprised her she gained weight a bit. She had a feeling that something was wrong. Or not. She didn’t knew. She was closing the bathroom door and decided to take a visit to their very own toilet. Meanwhile, Jake woke up as well. He noticed Zoe was gone. He had to Jake: “Wowowow...” A little bit of the coffee fell on the wooden floor. Zoe: “Oh my god, Jake!! I’m so happy right now!!!” Jake: “What? Why? It’s okay if you’re happy, but why?” Zoe held Jake’s hands. She smiled at Jake and kissed him. Zoe: “We’re going to have a baby!!!” Jake dropped his entire cup of coffee. The coffee was splattered everywhere, and Zoe had to watch out as she was still in her underwear. Jake: “You’re kidding, right?...” Zoe: “No! I’m not kidding! *giggle*” Jake had a feeling that he had to faint. He just couldn’t believe that. He won’t believe that. He’s going to be a father? Jake was thinking about him being a pretty bad father. That’s something he feared his entire life. Being a bad father. Jake: “Wow… That’s… Incredible!” Zoe: “I know, right? We’ll have to tell the others as soon as I’m done on school!” Jake: “Wait, you got to work now?” Zoe looked at the clock. Meanwhile, Jake was cleaning up the mess with the coffee. Zoe: “Oh shoot! I overslept!” Zoe prepared to go quickly and dashed to school. She knew there was a brief moment at school every morning and it should end in 4 minutes. Meanwhile, Jake was enjoying his breakfast… alone. To be continued… Hey guys, be sure to read my other stories in order to understand some of these things written in here. They’re titled ‘My Imagination’ and there are 8 chapters. |
