Danny looked around his first period classroom. He didn’t have math till after lunch but he tried to see if he anyone might be holding onto Sam in his class. From the looks of things, nothing seemed different from his classmates. “I don’t think she’s here,” Danny whispered to Nick.
“It’s faint but she’s in this room I can feel it,” Nick said joyfully. Nick knew that Sam was in the classroom. He just didn’t know where exactly. Danny sat on the far left side of the classroom, and Nick felt Sam’s presence over to his right, but wasn’t sure where. Nick looked around the room in the safe confines of Danny’s pocket. Today would be the day that Nick got Sam back safe and sound.
Sam fought the urge to look outside Mary’s pocket or even make a noise. Before they came through the front doors Mary held her hand up to her mouth and made a shushing noise. Sam wasn’t planning on making any noise anyway. She figured she was safest right now then back at Mary’s room. Larry was still looking for Sam. It wasn’t long before they both came into a class room and sat down with the noise of a bunch of other kids Mary’s age talking. One girl started to talk to Mary about their weekend. Sam figured that she would wait until Mary told her when she needed to help her with her test. As Sam sat there waiting for her usefulness she couldn’t help but listen to the teacher start calling names to see who was absent.
“Jessica?”
“Here,” called Jessica.
“Mary?”
“Here,” Mary called out in a cheerful voice. The names went on until there was one that shocked Sam.
“Danny?”
“Here,” Danny called out.
Sam’s heart skipped a beat as she realized where she was. She was in Danny’s school! Everything came crashing back. There was a reason why Mary looked familiar; she was the girl that had a crush on Danny. Sam couldn’t help but feel hope at this new turn of events. If she could talk with Mary maybe she could convince her to return her to Danny and she would be free. Sam peeked out and found Danny sitting on the other side of the room. Sam was about to wave and try and get his attention until a giant finger came crashing down pushing Sam back into the confines of the pocket. Sam looked up to see Mary give her a stern look that told Sam if she acted out again there wouldn’t be a second chance. Frustrated Sam took a deep breath and calmed herself from doing something stupid. She would bid her time and wait for the right moment that would lead to her rescue.
Sam couldn’t help but peek out again from Mary’s pocket. The class was excused for lunch in the cafeteria and with all the noise Sam figured that Mary wouldn’t noticed if she took a look for a few seconds. The room was larger than Sam expected. She assumed there would be only a couple of hundred students but there was a lot more than that. It was a large lunch room and the entire place was filled with chatter from all the children in there. They all ranged from little kids younger than Mary to what looked to be high school students. Looking around more Sam noticed that Danny was a couple of tables away and too far for him to notice a speck like her. Sam was feeling defeated; she might have lost her one chance at getting Danny’s help. Suddenly there were crumbs falling from the sky hitting Sam on the head as they rain down. Looking up she noticed that Mary was eating a sandwich and the bread crumbs happen to be falling down into her shirt pocket. Obviously she was oblivious to this as she kept eating and more crumbs feel. Sam gave Mary a look of disgust at how messy she was with her food. It didn’t take long for Sam to realize how hungry she was. She didn’t have any food the other day or this morning.
Sam shuddered as she realized that she needed to eat and the only food source was either one of her own limbs or the scraps left from Mary’s meal. Sam felt humiliation at what she was reduced to, that of a mouse having to scrounge for scraps and eat the unnoticeable food that Mary didn’t even know existed. It was demeaning but necessary. Sam had her fill and wished she had something to wash down the bread. When Mary finished her sandwich and the rest of her meal she told her friends she would be back. She headed somewhere that Sam couldn’t see until a door was open and Sam saw a quick glimpse of a figure on the door for a woman’s bathroom. It wasn’t long till Sam heard a stall door open then close and lock shut. Sam looked up to see Mary reaching into the pocket for her. She retrieved her and held her up to her face. The smell of the PBJ sandwich filled the air she breathed.
“You ready,” She asked exhaling a fresh scent of peanut butter all over Sam. Sam nodded trying not to breath in the smell. She smiled and continued, “Just remember if I don’t get a 100% or you try and get me into trouble, you’ll end up back here,” Mary stated spreading her legs and dangling Sam over the toilet bowl.
Scared that Mary might drop her by accident, Sam quickly shouted, “I understand.”
“Good,” Mary said cheerfully. Math is my next subject, so let’s practice one more time.” For the rest of the lunch period Sam and Mary stayed in the bathroom practicing how to give Mary the correct answers all from using her hands and whispers so that only Mary would see or hear her. It wasn’t long before the bell rang which caused Mary to put Sam back into her pocket. “Ok math buggy, time to ace my math test.” Mary was so happy, that as she left the bathroom she didn’t notice that there was another stall occupied…
Sam held up 7 fingers to Mary so she would know the answer. Mary grinned as she wrote down the answer and finished her test before anyone else. She got up and turned in the paper to the teacher. Mrs. Flechen looked up amazed, “Mary you’re done?”
“Yeah, it was easy,” Mary said still grinning at her accomplishment.
Frowning Mrs. Flechen took the test, “Normally your one of the last students to turn in their test. You sure you don’t want to look over it?”
“I’m sure,” Mary said as she walked back to her seat. As Mary sat down in her seat Kelly, a student that sat behind Mary, quickly raised her hand.
“Yes Kelly?”
“Mrs. Flechen, Mary cheated.”
Mary turned around in her chair and glared at Kelly, “She’s lying.”
“Kelly, why would say that?”
“There’s no way that Mary finished before anyone else. She had to have cheated,” Kelly said defensively.
“You’re just jealous that I’m smarter than you,” Mary said gloatingly.
“You are not,” Kelly said angrily.
“Stop it the both of you. Come up here,” Mrs. Flechen commanded. Both students got up and walked toward the front of the class. “The rest of the class, continue with your test.” The rest of the class did as they were told, “Now what is the meaning of this,” Mrs. Flechen demanded as she whispered to the two of the students.
“Kelly always hated me and now she’s mad that I’m smarter than her,” Mary told Mrs. Flechen.
“That’s not true,” Kelly said angrily.
“Do I need to send you both to the principal’s office?”
“No,” they both said in unison.
“Now, Kelly, you can’t accuse people of doing something bad just because you don’t like them.”
“But-” Kelly tried to defend herself until Mrs. Flechen gave her a warning look that told her the next words would cause her to get into trouble.
“Just because Mary finished her test first doesn’t mean she cheated.” Mary gave Kelly a snide look that only made Kelly even madder than she was. “Now the two of you go back to your seats and I don’t want to hear another word, understand?”
“Yes,” they both said again.
Mary practically skipped back to her seat as she sat down she noticed that Kelly didn’t move from the front of the classroom. “Kelly, take your seat,” Mrs. Flechen said warningly.
“But I know Mary cheated,” Mary said upset.
“Kelly-” Mrs. Flechen started until she was interrupted.
“She used a buggy. I heard her talking to it in the bathroom before the test,” She pointed toward Mary as all eyes in the class looked over toward Mary to see what her defense was.
“Mrs. Flechen she’s lying,” Mary said red in the face.
Mrs. Flechen looked back to Kelly. Normally Kelly never spoke out and she never lied to her before, but Mary… well she did have a record of not being the smartest of her students. It was odd that she finished so fast, but that could have been either hard work or blind guessing. All the students were looking to Mrs. Flechen to see what she would do next. Mrs. Flechen looked back to Mary, “Come back here Mary.”
“But I’m not lying she is,” Mary protested.
“Mary, come over her now.”
Mary gapped as she realized that she was busted. There was no way out of this. If she got caught with the buggy then she would be in big trouble. There was only one thing to do, get rid of the evidence.
Danny watched as Mary walked up to the front of the class, looking down he noticed that Nick was peering over his pocket to see what was happening. Mrs. Flechen told Mary to empty her pockets. Mary slowly pulled out her left pocket and then her right emptying it of a few coins, a hair piece, and a piece of gum. “See I wasn’t lying,” Mary said.
“Empty all your pockets,” Mrs. Flechen told her.
Danny watched as Mary put her hand into her pocket and pulled it inside out. There was nothing in her pocket. “There’s nothing in there,” Mary said.
“What’s in your hand,” Mrs. Flechen asked as she noticed that one of her hands was clenched shut behind her back.
“N-nothing…”
“Mary, don’t make me call your parents.”
Mary gave a panicked look and spun on her heels and left the class before anyone could react. Kelly followed her as Mrs. Flechen called them both back not able to leave the other students alone. Mrs. Flechen quickly called the office to get help.
“Danny,” Nick called out quietly to him. Danny looked down and saw Nick with an urgent look on his face, “I think that was Sam. I think she had Sam! Please you need to follow, we have to save her.” Nick pleaded with Danny to help him.
“Ok,” Danny told him as he raised his hand.
It took Mrs. Flechen to notice as she was still trying to get someone. “Yes?” She asked sounding very distraught that she had two students run out on her.
“I need to use the bathroom.”
“I’m sorry Danny not now,” Mrs. Flechen replied.
“Please, it’s urgent I need to go…” Danny said pleadingly and acted as desperate as he could.
“You’re just going to have to hold it,” Mrs. Flechen replied.
Danny was about to sit down when he saw Nick look devastated at the news. Danny took a deep breath for courage and ran for the door before Mrs. Flechen could say anything to him. Danny quickly headed toward where Kelly and Mary went.
Sam heard a door slam and a lock being locked into place. Suddenly the crushing grip of Mary’s hand opened to reveal Mary looking horrified at what just transpired. “I have to get rid of the evidence.”
“What- no wait let’s talk about this.” Sam shouted trying to stop what was about to happen.
Mary didn’t listen as she quickly held Sam over her mouth. There was a pounding sound on the door followed by Kelly shouting, “Let it go you cheater.”
“I’m about to,” Mary said as she let Sam fall down and onto the awaiting tongue.
Sam let out a scream as she rolled down the slippery surface covered in a thick layer of sticky slim that clung to her. The rank odor of stale peanut butter and milk filled Sam’s sense of smell. Sam looked out toward the dying light as she slipped further into the upturned maw until she hit the back of Mary’s throat.
“NO PLEASE DON’T DO-”
There was a loud gulping noise and suddenly the back of the throat opened up and let Sam tumble down. The light quickly cut off as Sam screamed for her life as she was pulled down by muscles. Suddenly there was a force applying more pressure on her as it forced her down faster.
Mary used her fingers to slide the buggy faster down her throat to get rid of all the evidence. There was another pounding sound on the door only this time it was a male voice that belonged to the principal.
“Young lady come out at once.”
“I’m using the bathroom,” Mary said lying as she quickly turned on the water and swallowed a few handfuls to hurry up the lump that was taking forever to disappear from eye sight.
Sam gasped in horror as cold water flooded the tight tube and pulled her along faster. She didn’t have any air as she started to drown from the water. Just as she was about to take a gulp of water for air, the bottom opened up and everything spilled out into a small chamber. Sam splashed into a liquid that was filled with a layer of mush. Sam gasped for air and started to cough. The air stung like acid…
“No, no, no, no,” Sam kept whimpering as she shivered from fear and cold that was slowly turning into a hot sensation. She couldn’t be here. There was no way she was about to die. How could this have happened? WHY?!
There was a gurgling noise as things shifted and churned as suddenly the chamber moved around swishing her around with the liquid and covering her again in the foul goo. Sam was being buried alive by the liquid slush that was Mary’s previous meal. Quickly Sam tried looking for a way out. She probably only had a few minutes before she drowned or ran out of air. There was no way she could stay afloat in this gloopy slop. Suddenly there was a louder noise as if a monster was growling and everything suddenly got choppier. There was a loud rumbling noise as Mary let out a loud burp sucking the last of air and space out of her stomach.
“Excuse me,” Was the last thing Sam heard as she felt herself get pushed under the stomach contains unable to come up for air again…
Danny watched as the principal opened the door and pulled Mary out of the bathroom. “All of you to my office now,” He said angrily as he marched them toward the office. “You too young man,” He told Danny. Danny followed them as they were put into the principal’s office with their teacher.
“Where is it,” Kelly asked Mary who seemed very smug right now.
“Young lady I’ll ask the questions,” the Principal said as she looked over the three of them. “Mrs. Flechen, tell me what’s going on.”
As Mrs. Flechen explained what happened, Nick quickly said to Danny, “Danny, I can’t sense Sam! Somethings wrong. Danny let me out.” Danny slowly reached into his pocket as everyone was distracted listening to Mrs. Flechen explain what transpired. Nick quickly jumped down out of Danny’s hand after he lowered him close to the floor. Nick quickly rushed over to the chair to the giantess that was accused of cheating. Nick didn’t have much time to be subtle. Nick stood behind the chair and jumped half way up the back of the chair. He quickly grabbed what he could and started to climb up until he was behind the giantess head.
“So Mary where is this buggy that you used to cheat with?”
“I don’t have one.” Mary said. Nick headed over to her hair and carefully climbed onto a strand of hair.
“She’s lying I heard her talking to one in the bathroom,” Kelly said.
“She’s lying,” Mary objected. “She’s always hated me.”
“You’re cruel to them. I’ve seen you-”
“That’s enough you two. Now Kelly just because Mary is cruel to buggies doesn’t mean she could use one to cheat. I mean they’re just buggies.”
“I have some that know math and other subjects,” Danny chimed in.
“You what,” The principal asked shocked. “Is that even possible,” the principal asked Mrs. Flechen who shrugged.
Nick was now on Mary’s left shoulder right behind her neck. Nick needed to find Sam and fast. Using his powers Nick searched for Sam if she was in any pockets or a sock or something, but came up with nothing. Quickly Nick broadened his search but still found nothing. Was it possible that Mary didn’t have Sam? Nick tried to think of what to do next when there was a small burp escaped Mary.
“Sorry, I’m a little gassy since lunch,” Mary said apologetic.
… No. She couldn’t’ have. Cold shock went through his body as he realized that Sam was swallowed by Mary. “Hold on please,” Nick said on the verge of a nervous breakdown. He didn’t sense anything from Mary’s gut meaning that Sam was not there or already dead. Not thinking anymore and reacting on his instinct he put both hands on the back of Mary’s neck and used his powers on her.
Danny was going to say something else when suddenly Mary looked pale then turned almost green. The principal looked toward Mary. “Are you ok?”
Mary nodded as she felt sick but tried to hold down her lunch. That was until Nick sent one last burst of energy through her body making her lean forward and upheave all of her stomach content all over the carpet. Over and over she heaved and puked every last drop of liquid and muck from her gut until she couldn’t throw up anymore. Even then she dry heaved over and over again for a while longer.
Nick wasted no time as he scanned the mess in the sudden chaos that followed from Mary’s purging of her stomach content. Everyone quickly backed away from Mary as if she was contagious with a deadly disease. Mrs. Flechen looked like she was about to vomit too. Just as Nick jumped off Mary’s shoulder, the principal helped the still sick girl out with Danny and Mrs. Flechen to go to the nurse’s office. Nick used this time to run through the muck looking for Sam. He noticed something that was in a heap covered in throw up. Nick hurried over to the unrecognizable mass. “Sam,” Nick called out as he quickly scooped up the human mass only to have it ooze out of his hands. The remains of Sam fell out of Nick’s hands and onto the floor with the rest of the digestive juices. “No,” Nick breathed with heart ache. She was gone. He couldn’t save Sam. It should have been him! Why couldn’t he have been there when she needed him most! Feeling the tears gather in his eyes from his sorry Nick took a deep breath to shout in disappear at losing the one person he held dear and loved. Just as Nick was about to yell he smelled something. It was a strong scent of banana. Reaching down Nick scoped up a handful of the mess and smelled it. Nick was holding a banana…
Frustration surged through him as he reliazed that he mistaken the remains of a banana from either breakfast or lunch as Sam. Getting up he searched again through the vast field of puke and noticed there were other large human shaped masses. They were either food or Sam. Nick rushed over to another heap and touched it to feel it flatten under his touch and release an odor of peanut butter. Coughing in disgust at the strong scent he moved on to the next pile and then the next only to find that none of them were Sam. Suddenly the door opened and a janitor came in with cleaning tools to clean up the mess.
Did he not get Sam out of Mary’s stomach? Was Sam already dissolved and part of the vast ocean of vomit? Nick didn’t have time to search anymore and quickly hide under the principal’s desk as to not be spotted by the janitor. Nick felt anger, fear, sadness, and a hundred other emotions raging inside him at Sam’s absents. As Nick waded through the smelly mess that even went under the desk Nick tripped over something falling face first into the vile liquid. Anger filled him at the embarrassment he had that he went to punch the solid mass into mush. Just as he was about to hit it, he noticed that he smelled something familiar and faint that was being blocked by the stench of vomit. It smelled like Sam.
“Sam!” Nick shouted as he scooped up the mess that held together unlike the others. Nick quickly uncovered her slim covered mouth to see she wasn’t awake. Nick quickly carried her out of the puke and on clean carpet. “Sam?” Nick asked as he leaned in and noticed that she wasn’t breathing. Nick panicked what should he do? Nick forgot everything for that split second until a voice yelled at him from inside to shut up and calm down and focus. “Ok,” Nick said taking a deep breath. “She not breathing, I need to get air to her lungs.” Not wasting anymore time Nick started to do CPR and started to breath into her mouth, yet there was no reaction from her. Nick continued as the sound of the janitor in the background was grumbling about cleaning up someone’s barf. “Come on Sam, breath,” Nick said as he again breathed into her mouth. Still she wasn’t responding. “Don’t you dare,” Nick growled as he continued to pump her chest. He couldn’t use his powers to save her. Unlike any other time, if someone was hurt or dying he could use his powers to heal them, but they had to be alive. Sam wasn’t…
Cursing himself for not being able save her, Nick did one last compression and went to breathe into Sam’s mouth.
Suddenly without warning Sam heaved a ton of vomit out of her and straight into Nick’s mouth causing him to jump back yelling and chocking. Sam rolled over heaving and gasping for fresh air as Nick did the same.
“Give me a warning next time,” Nick said through coughs.
“Fine,” Sam said as she continued to take deep breaths of precious air. “Next time I drown from throw up, I’ll try to be more considerate.” Nick quickly wrapped his arms around Sam and held her close and tight with all his might. Unaware of the pain he was causing her Sam wheezed, “I just drowned, stop choking me.”
“Sorry,” Nick said frightened at what he was doing and jumped back. When Sam could breathe fine she glared at Nick who looked confused, “What,” he asked.
She quickly hit him in the arm, “What took you so long?! I almost died like 10 times, and then I DID die!”
“I’m sorry,” Nick said feeling guilty at his inability of protecting Sam.
Sam started to cry as she quickly hugged Nick into a death grip, “I was so scared I wouldn’t see you ever again.”
Nick did his best not to cry but it couldn’t be helped. “Me too,” he whispered to her.
After a long pause Sam said, “Thank you. Just hurry up next time, it’s not fun drowning in vomit.”
Nick chuckled, “I know what you mean…”
Danny, Mary, Kelly, and the principal all waited outside for their mothers to come pick them up. They were all being suspended for the day for disobeying the teacher. Mary was going to be suspended longer for cheating but there was no hard evidence so she would have to retake the test. Mary still looked green but she stopped dry heaving a while ago. Kelly stood next to Danny separated from Mary by the principal so they wouldn’t get into a fight. Danny hadn’t seen Nick or Sam yet and was beginning to worry about them. That was until his aunt Tracie came by.
“Danny your mom asked me to get you,” Tracie told him.
“Ok,” Danny said as he grabbed his school supplies. As they headed toward her car Tracie looked down at Danny.
“Everything ok,” She asked him.
Danny shook his head, “Nick and Sam are missing again.”
“Are they,” Tracie asked with an odd tone in her voice making Danny look up at her. Tracie slowly pulled something out of her other pocket and held it open to reveal Nick and Sam safe in her hand.
“Nick, Sam,” Danny shouted relieved at their safety. “But how,” Danny asked confused as they reached the car.
“Well,” Tracie said as she helped Danny into the car and put Nick and Sam into Danny’s hands. “The janitor was asking around for help from some of the staff due to a big accident mess that was made. I told him I could help out and as I was cleaning, you won’t believe who I find. Sam and Nick hiding under the principal’s desk,” Tracie laughed. “You two are super lucky that I decided to be nice today, I’m not sure if anyone else would help you two.”
“Your tell me,” Nick told them. “I thought we were going to have to find our way back by ourselves.”
Danny smiled down at them, “I’m glad Sam is back, safe and sound.”
“Me too,” Nick said holding onto Sam’s hand as they headed back to Danny’s house.
Over the next couple of days Sam and Nick didn’t leave Jasmine’s house or each other’s side. They barely let go of each other for more than a few moments. Thanks to staying home, Nick and Sam were able to get Natalie more comfortable with Jasmine’s family. She even started to talk with Julie and Kaylee. Annabel stopped by a couple of times to check up on the three of them. She had to leave in a few days to travel to work on a couple of presentations for her company. That wasn’t all the happened over the next few days. There was a giant chain reaction that seemed to occur after the events that took place in Danny’s school. Thanks to Mary, buggies were banned from school. It was discovered that buggies could be used to cheat with. They were able to be used as tools to memorize things for test and exams. Danny’s school was the first school ever to ban buggies. Many people started to protest and complain to the school district but when they learned what happen they too followed suit and banned buggies from school property. As the schools cracked down on the buggies being used, a buggy loving group started a movement clamming that buggies were more than just buggies and were intelligent beings that had a right to live. There were a lot of debating but after a long battle in court over the next couple of years it would be decided by the nation that buggies were not people, however they did have a right to live and were immediately all put under protective care. Anyone found harming any buggies would be viewed as animal cruelty and sentenced to time in jail. The government was now in charge of protecting every buggy that lived in their country and for the next couple of years would be searching for buggies to relocate them to a more caring environment for protection if need be.
Sam and Nick wouldn’t be there for that to happen. They were going to leave in a few weeks after Sam’s rescue but they were there to hear that Danny’s school was banning any buggies being brought to school. It was the day before Nick had enough power to head back home to their universe. Danny and Tracie came back surprisingly happier than ever. That night they all celebrated but also had a goodbye party for Nick and Sam. There was cake and fun games to play like hide and seek (buggies vs giants). That night as everyone went to bed, Nick and Sam both lay there snuggled up together telling each other what they would miss. Nick waited until Sam went to sleep before he removed himself from behind her. He had something he wanted to do before he left.
Using his powers he found what he was looking for and quickly teleported to the house. He arrived in Mary’s room where she was sleeping soundlessly. Nick walked over to her giant head where she lay there snoozing soundlessly. Nick jumped up onto her pillow and then jumped up onto her forehead without waking her. Nick crouched down on her forehead and placed his hands on Mary’s forehead. A dull glow slowly left his hands and went into Mary’s forehead to span out till it disappeared. Satisfied with his work he jumped off her bed and headed out into the hallway and headed toward her brothers room that Sam told him about. Entering the room he found him sleeping like his sister. Doing the same thing he jumped up onto his bed and used his powers on Larry. Satisfied again he jumped off onto his night stand. “A little gift for the two of you,” He said smirking. Finished, he teleported back to Sam where she was sleeping peacefully unaware of his little trip. No one needed to know about what he did. Getting back into bed he wrapped his arms around her protectively and drifted off to sleep still grinning…
Larry woke up with a yawn. He slowly got out of bed and stretched. He had to get to work soon but before that he wanted a snack before his breakfast. He headed over to his draw, where he kept all his buggies that he enjoyed playing with. Pulling one out he dangled it over his head to let it drop into his mouth. At the exact moment he was about to let go he felt weird and suddenly he found himself dangling over his mouth being let go. He screamed out in fear as he fell from his hand and into his dirty mouth that had the smell of morning breath. Gasping in fear, confusion, and disgust, he found himself being tumbled around in his mouth and under a pair of molars which quickly crashed down on his screaming body and smashed him into a paste.
Larry screamed as he dropped the buggy onto his desk and stumbled back sweating from what he just experienced. What the fuck… frightened at what happened he looked to the buggy to seem to be just as confused and frightened as Larry was. “Was that you,” He asked scared and pissed off. The buggy looked even more confused than before. Larry growled as he got up and formed a fist he brought it up over the buggy and brought it down to smash it into a pulp on his desk. Suddenly Larry again was transported to where the buggy was and saw himself bring down his fist on top of him, “NOOOO,” He screamed covering his head as he felt his body get smashed and his bones shattered into little pieces and his body turn into a bloody puddle of goo.
Larry screamed again as he fell to the floor with his hands up trying to stop … nothing.
Larry panted scared at what was happening. Looking at the buggy that was still fine, but giving him a weird look. “Stop looking at me like that,” Larry yelled as he got up and brought his hand to the buggy to flick it across his desk. This time he was where the buggy was and his finger collided into his gut crushing his internal organs and flinging him across the desk to land in a heap where he slowly bleed to death.
Larry gasped as he was back to his normal self, lying on the floor. His body was fine but the pain felt so real. “What’s going on,” Larry asked frightened. Suddenly Larry heard his sister screaming in fear. Running to her he quickly checked on her. She had a buggy on her night stand. “What,” Larry asked.
“I-I-I I tried to eat him… but it was me,” Mary said confused and scared. “What’s going on?”
“I don’t know,” Larry told her as he realized that they couldn’t hurt buggies anymore…
Sam woke up bonded by something that she couldn’t see. It was wrapped around her in a tight embrace. She couldn’t move and started to panic. She was kidnapped again! Wiggling quickly and threshing she tried to break whatever was around her until she hit something sold that let out a noise.
“Oww,” Nick shouted as he was hit in the gut by Sam’s elbow.
Sam reliazed that it was Nick that was holding her in their sleep that scared her, “Oh God, I’m so sorry.”
“It’s ok,” Nick said trying to hide the pain in his voice but failed. “It was only my stomach that you hit. No biggie.”
“Oh sweetie,” Sam quickly went down to his stomach where she hit him and kissed it. “Is that better,” she asked.
“It was a little lower,” Nick replied.
“Here,” Sam asked as she kissed a little lower from where she just kissed.
“Close, but lower.”
Sam realized what he was doing, “Lower,” she asked raising an eyebrow.
“Hey can’t blame me for trying,” Nick said flashing a devilish grin. Sam sighed and shook her head. Nick started to laugh until Sam went lower. Nick gasped in surprise when Sam kissed his now swelling body part.
“Better?”
“Sorry, it still hurts. I think you need to kiss it again,” Nick said teasingly.
“You sure you don’t want me to do this,” Sam asked as she started to stroke Nick to attention.
“Or you could do that,” Nick said trying to hold back the urge to moan.
“You sure you don’t want me to do this,” Sam asked again as she opened her mouth and went to put Nick inside-
“Nick, Sam, are you up,” Danny asked loudly as he opened the door.
Nick almost jumped 10 feet out of the mini bed, which would have been bad with Sam who was just inches from having Nick impale her. “Danny? Hey, yeah we’re up,” Nick said still nervous at Danny walking in on Sam and him in the act. Nick quickly made sure Sam was concealed under the blanket as Danny turned the lights on to his mom’s room.
“Where’s Sam,” Danny asked.
“Oh-um, I think she’s already up,” Nick tried to explain.
“I didn’t see her,” Danny replied.
“Oh, um, well that’s strange. I’m sure your mom or sister might know,” Nick said.
“I’ll go ask,” Danny said as he ran out the room looking.
“Oh God that was close,” Nick replied.
Sam came out of the covers laughing, “You can say that again. Well, I think it’s time to get up don’t you think so?”
Nick looked disappointed, “Do we have to,” Nick whined.
Sam kissed him, “Come on. Just save it for tonight when we’re back home,” Sam said as she slide her hand down to cup him. “I promise we’ll pick up from where we left off.”
“Deal,” Nick said smiling at her.
Nick and Sam got dressed and headed toward the kitchen where Jasmine was making breakfast for everyone. No sooner did they make it did Danny come to the table about to ask his mom if she saw Sam. “Oh, there you Sam,” Danny said.
“Here I am,” Sam said trying not to look too embarrassed that she was almost caught having oral sex with Nick. It wasn’t long till Julie showed up with Macy. They all ate breakfast together.
“So are you two leaving today?” Julie asked.
“Yeah, we need to get back soon,” Nick told her.
“Can’t you stay a little longer,” Natalie asked.
“Sorry,” Nick told her. “We need to head back soon.” Natalie ran to him and gave him a hug.
“Thank you for saving me. I’ll miss you,” She said.
“Me too,” Nick told her.
“I’ll miss you too,” Danny chimed in.
“Same,” Julie said.
“You know I’ll miss you two,” Jasmine said trying her best not to show her sadness.
“Promise to look after them Danny,” Nick said.
“I promise,” Danny told Nick.
Saying their goodbyes Nick and Sam were carried out to the family room where they were set on the table. “I just want one picture of you two,” Jasmine said as she pulled out her camera and took a picture. “Now one with us all,” Jasmine said as she set up the camera to get them and the rest of the family all in one shot on the couch. “There,” Jasmine said satisfied. “Stay safe,” Jasmine told them.
“You too,” Nick said as he started to concentrate and created the portal to travel back to their world.
“Bye,” Sam said waving to them.
“Bye,” they all said. Suddenly Sam was covered in the familiar darkness that swallowed her up and took her and Nick back home. It happened in a split second but suddenly they were back in the woods where they left. “I’m going to miss them.” Sam said saddened.
“Me too,” Nick said. “It isn’t easy saying goodbye, especially if you know you won’t see them again.”
“Come on, lets head home,” Sam said. Together they headed back home before her parents got worried and called the cops to look for her.
Nick felt the ground shake him awake from his bed. Jumping up he looked around his room expecting to see something wrong but there was nothing. Frowning he noticed that he was having a bad dream and just woke up from it. Sam wasn’t there with him, and last time he checked they were both there before he fell asleep. Given what they did last night she couldn’t have gone too far. Getting out of bed Nick went to the bathroom and went to see where Sam was. She was sitting at the kitchen table eating a bowl of cereal.
“Sorry, was starving,” Sam replied noticing Nick was looking for her.
“Yeah, just was worried-” Nick was cut off from the ground shaking again. Nick looked to Sam who seemed scared.
“Earthquake,” She asked slurred with the spoon of cereal still in her mouth.
“No that was more like,” Nick paused as there was another shaking again and a noise outside. Sam and Nick both got up and ran to the door to see what was happening. Nick opened the door for Sam and himself. They stood outside in the yard while the neighbors were out there too asking questions. Suddenly there was a distant explosion down the street causing Nick and everyone else to turn and look in that direction. Sam and Nick gasped at what they saw. Heading toward them was a familiar sight.
“BUGGIES,” screeched a giant Macy as she walked toward them causing the ground to shake.
“Macy,” Sam asked, “but how?”
“Well this isn’t good,” Nick said dumbfounded as Macy looked straight at them and started to laugh in joy as she crushed everything in her path heading over to go play with Nick and Sam.
