"Alrighty, so now that we warmed up, shall we start the heavy liftin?" Tony asked, getting up and stretching his muscles left and right like he usually did. Ord and Sull quickly came over and started walking near the locker room exit themselves, though I was still sitting down, catching my breath from everything that went on before.

"Are you ok Mike?" Eric asked, still standing in front of me with the Ronso a few feet away from him, grabbing some clothes out of the locker and still changing himself.

"Y-yeah.....I guess it just feels kinda weird....I lost a bunch of weight over the last several days and I guess my body's just not used to that....." I replied, now feeling like I just wanted to take a bit of a nap right there.

"Here hun.....lay on me and relax.....don't think about anything....let your mind clear and your body regain its strength." Tony replied, quickly sitting next to me and motioning for me to just take a load off.

I quickly lowered my head sideways onto Tony's shorts, feeling like I just needed a little bit of time to regain everything, knowing the amount of energy my body used in the steam room.

As I laid my head down, I overheard Eric softly say "We'll be out in the gym playing some basketball, and I think the other two guys already went out there too."

"Alrighty, we'll meet you guys out there soon." Tony replied. As I continued to lay my head down on Tony, I felt his warm hand starting to stroke my face. The immense feeling of his fingers brushing up and down my skin felt unbelievably good, and it actually made me giggle a little bit with the tickling feeling that came along with it.

"Do you want me to bring you back home Mike? You look exhausted...." Tony asked, still stroking my face while I was laying my head down on his lap.

"I-I'm fine.....I'm just so glad you're here with me Tony....I missed you so badly when I was out there......and I don't want that to happen again...." I replied softly.

"You have no idea how much I missed you too Mike....but we're together, and that's all that matters. And I promise, I will NEVER let those guys touch you again." The big Tiger replied, which ultimately followed with him kissing my cheek as I kept resting on him.

"Thanks Tony....I just hope those guys don't come around here....I... don't want to lose you..." I mentioned, lifting my head up and hugging Tony very hard. The Tiger quickly did the same to me, whispering "We'll get through it hun. Nothing will happen to us."

"I hope so..." I replied, hugging Tony for a pretty long time.

"I think...that I'm a bit better now...." I then mentioned, breaking my hug with the tiger and getting up to stretch.

"You sure hun?"

"Yeah I think so.....I guess that Steam really took its effect on me, I guess I just needed to cool off a bit. Now that I think about it, where's Aquin when you need him? Heh" I replied with a smirk.

"Heh, he's probably still at that Auto Body store. I haven't seen him come in......here.....WOW."

Before either of us could talk anymore, the well built Gator appeared from around the corner and came into the entrance of the locker room, though he wasn't wearing any gym clothes nor did he bring anything with him.

"We were just talking about you 'Quin." I mentioned, but then letting out a HUGE yawn right after. "Wait....why are you here anyway? Are you gonna work out?"

"I know you were talking about me, cause I overheard you guys before I came in. But I'm not here to work out. I'm here because I sensed that you seemed like you had no energy in your body Mike. What happened?" The Gator asked.

"We all had a bit of a "Warm up" session in the steam room, it's too bad you didn't join us hehe." Tony mentioned with a naughty grin again. Aquin casually grinned back, and then exclaimed

"Well I'll have to consider next time. For now though, I know you've still been through a lot lately Mike, and your body still needs to get used to everything. Take it easy when you're doing any activities....especially anything....well...you know."

"Thanks Aquin. I'll definitely need to keep that in mind. You've been such a nice guy to us. I really do want to make it up to you." I said back.

"No worries Mike. I'm just glad that people like you and Tony are safe. You two are very happy together and no one can take that away from you."

I looked up at Tony after Aquin said that, and Tony simply looked back into my eyes, putting his hand on my shoulder and simply nodding at the Gator.

"Now grab my hand here Mike....This won't hurt." The Gator requested, extending his own hand out for me. I had no idea what he was going to do, but I quickly obeyed what he asked me to do, and grabbed his hand. He quickly locked his grip in, and closed his eyes.

"HMMMMMMNNNNNNN"

"HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNN"

"HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN"

As the Gator kept humming loudly, my body was getting this odd feeling of going from being tired, to being energetic. I no longer was feeling the urge to yawn, nor did my body feel cold or thin from not being in the steam room.

"HMMMMNNNNNNNN...."

"Holy....crap!" Tony exclaimed, noticing that Aquin started to glow white while still holding my hand. His glow was so strong that it actually caused the lights to go out in the locker room for a few seconds, leaving me and Tony staring at the Gator's aurora in the few moments where it was nearly pitch black in the locker room.

"HMMMMMnnnn........there." The Gator then said, releasing my hand and having his glow disappear, which slowly brought the lights back on in the empty room.

"What....did you just do Aquin?!?!" Tony asked with a very confused, yet also worried look on his face.

"A-Aquin.....What is...this?!" I asked, looking at my arms and legs. They looked the same as before, but they felt a bit...different.

"You'll see. I'm going to head back to the shop, catch you guys later." The Gator mentioned, walking out of the locker room before either one of us had a chance to question him any further.

"W-what did Aquin do???" Tony asked, looking at me very curiously.

"I don't know what he did....but I sure as hell ain't tired anymore! At least we can work out together now heh." I said back.

"You sure hun?"

"Yep, no worries, if anything happens I'll stop myself from going any further.

With that said, the two of us finally left the locker room and went into the gym to start working out along with the others.

"You set everything up?"

"Yep, everything is all set boss. Once the Tiger opens up his bedroom door, all the remote C4 explosives are set to go off in exactly one minute after that. He won't hear it, and the bomb is in his TV cabinet as well as in his washer, his cupboard, and also his bathroom down here. So he'll probably be lying down....and that's the last thing he'll ever remember.

"Ok then, lock all the shit up and let's get out guys." Loco exclaimed to the four guys in the house with him, who were still examining everything else around the house.

"Think we should pay a visit to that town Salisbury that Chet mentioned?" One of the other guys asked.

"Nah, let the guy enjoy his final vacation of his precious lifetime. It's not my own problem that I'm taking care of." The human leader replied, walking out the door along with the others.

"I've got the lock secured here boss, hang on...." Another one of the gang members pointed out, looking inside the house one final time and then closing the door and locking it.

"Let's get out of here guys....those other three are probably waiting." The rugged leader mentioned to his other companions, quickly getting into their convertible and backing out of the driveway to head back towards the entrance of the street.

"Hey, you three still at the entrance of the street?" Loco asked on his walkie talkie in the car.

"Yep, no cars around here. Did you get rid of the Tiger?" a static voice emitted back on the walkie.

"He's not home, but we made sure that when he gets to his home, that will also mark his gravesite." The human said back.

"Good, good. We're done then, you guys can go but the boss wants to see you once the Tiger is dead to reward you all."

"Well listen for it in the news. Then you'll know we did our job. We're out." Loco replied as the car drove to the beginning of the street, meeting up with the other car before each vehicle went their separate ways on the road.

"Just....one more.....UMNF!!!" I muttered, lifting the barbell high over my head on the bench press.

"Nice Mike! I'm impressed!" Tony replied, being the spotting partner of mine and guiding the 100 pound bar back to its resting position.

*Pant...pant...pant* "T-thanks Tony....hot damn...I haven't done that many reps on the bench press in quite some time....holy shit..." I muttered, catching my breath.

"Alrighty, my turn hun, can you spot me now?" The Tiger asked, grabbing A LOT of weights, and adding them to the bar. Each weight was a good 40+ pounds from what was labeled, and I was a bit concerned.

"Uhhhh...Tony....you sure you can handle this??" I asked, looking at the weights and figuring out how many were on each side of the long bar.

"Yeah Mike, this is nothing heh." Tony said back to me with a smile, and then giving the thumbs up. Just looking at him was nearly making me hard again, since his muscles were clearly bulging out of his red tank top, and those blue shorts of his could only cover so much of what I wanted inside them.

I quickly figured out that there were 10 weights on the bar altogether, each labeled at 45 pounds.

"Just how much CAN you bench Tony? If I tried to bench anything even close to 500 pounds, my chest would be crushed instantly haha." I asked laughing.

"Hehehe....well the most I've ever benched is around 750, but I think I could probably do better." He replied. I was kinda floored when he said that, cause I couldn't imagine anyone even THINKING about bench pressing that much weight.

"750?!?!?! Holy shit!" I exclaimed.

"Yeah well, I haven't worked my muscles in a few days, so I'll tone it down a bit for now. Anyway Mike, stand behind me and spot this for me, would ya?" The Tiger asked, and I happily obliged.

Meanwhile, Sull & Ord were being pretty productive themselves, playing an intense game of Racquetball against each other, while Eric & Kimahri both started playing some basketball together.

As Tony started to lift the VERY heavy bar, he seemed like he didn't even need me as a spotter. One by one, the Tiger really proved how strong he was by lifting the weights, up and down as if they were filled with helium instead of iron.

"Wow Tony!" I exclaimed, watching the Tiger do all the work. Before I knew it though, my member started sticking out somewhat in my pants as Tony started sweating somewhat, though I quickly covered it up, trying not to let anyone notice. We all really did pick the perfect day to go to the gym though, since besides the 6 of us, there were only maybe an additional 10 people in the entire gym, which included the employees.

After a good 50 reps, Tony was finally done with his heavy lifting workout, not even needing me to guide the bar back into the resting position.

"Whew! It's nice to feel a good burning of the muscles heh." Tony said to me, wiping the sweat off his face and quickly grabbing his water bottle.

"You never cease to amaze me Tony." I replied grinning. Tony smiled right back, and the two of us then decided to head over to see what the others were doing.

"SWISH! Alrighty, you have H-O-R big guy, you need this shot to not get the S" Eric said playfully on the indoor basketball court, handing the ball to the tall Ronso.

"Alright, here I go." *DRIBBLE DRIBBLE*

Tony and I walked up behind the two to see Kimahri giving a long jump shot, only to come up short and just nick the rim to have the ball bounce back.

"Rats." Kimahri said, though smiling as if he was in a really good mood. Before Eric could take his next shot though, the two looked behind them to notice the two of us watching their game.

"Oh hey guys! Wanna play with us?" Eric asked with a wide smile.

"Oh no, you guys finish your match first and then we'll play afterward." I replied. With that said, Eric went all the way to half court, and bounced the ball a little bit.

"I doubt this shot will go, but I might as well try it haha." Eric then explained to all of us, and launched the ball in the air towards the hoop, pushing it as hard as he could away from his body. What happened next kinda shocked all of us.

"BOINK....BOINK.....FWOOSH!"

*O_O* *O_O*

Tony and I simply stared in awe, as we had just witnessed Eric getting one of the luckiest bounces ever on the backboard to have the basketball go into the net.

"WOW! I've never made that before!!!!" Eric exclaimed in a very excited way. If anyone else was facing Eric right there in a game of Horse, they probably would've had a more negative reaction compared to what the Ronso did after Eric's shot. The big guy came right up to the human, and the two hugged each other, like they both just accomplished a long fought goal.

"That's so sweet...." I mentioned to Tony. The two of us smiled, and then watched Kimahri miss the same exact shot by a mile. Tony and I giggled a little bit, but then smiled heavily when Eric and the Ronso both hugged each other at the end of the game there.

"Hey guys, do you wanna play now? We're gonna take a small break." The human asked us.

Tony and I looked at each other and nodded, coming up to Eric and grabbing the basketball.

"So....um....what do ya wanna play big guy? I doubt I can take ya on a 1v1 heh." I asked.

"Here lemme see the ball, this tank top is getting too sweaty, do you mind if I just play shirtless?" Tony asked. My heart nearly skipped a beat when he started taking off the red tank top of his, throwing it to the side and exposing his muscles once again right in front of me. I was blushing madly, but I quickly gave him the basketball that he asked for.

"This one's for you Mike."

*Bounce, bounce, SQUEAK* "HMNFH" " *BANG* *WHOOSH!"

Tony simply stunned me and made my member instantly rise up when he did a backwards slam dunk right in front of me, hanging from the rim and giving me a wide grin with his exposed muscles & abs showing off like no other Tiger possibly could.

"Excuse me, you're going to need to put your shirt back on please." A voice then asked behind me. I quickly hid my bulging member again and turned my head to see one of the human female workers there eying Tony, letting him know that he wasn't allowed to do such a thing.

"Oh ok, sorry ma'am about that, I didn't know." Tony replied in such a polite way, that I think it even made the young girl that seemed to be near my age blush. The Tiger quickly put back on his red tank top, and started to shoot the ball some more.

"Hey you....can I ask you something?" The girl then whispered very quietly to me. I quickly leaned into her, and she asked "That IS Tony the Tiger, right??"

"Mhhmmm. Yep, the one and only. " I said back to her with a smile on my face. Her face instantly turned red, and she quickly left the area. I wasn't sure if she was either blushing at Tony himself, or if she was feeling embarrassed about telling him to put his shirt back on. Either way, Tony and I decided to just shoot around somewhat , and we finished off by playing a game of Horse, even though Tony swept me cleanly on that while Eric and Kimahri watched on the benches of the indoor court.

"Great game hun. I'm surprised you never tried out for the NBA heh." I said to Tony, giving him a quick hug with him returning the favor.

"heh, I'm not THAT good, but yeah it's one of my better sports that I play in, though I think that you're much better than me when it comes to bowling" Tony replied, with the both of us laughing afterward.

"Speaking of Bowling Tony, I need to show you guys OUR version of bowling up here, since mostly everyone in this state plays Candlepin instead of the normal Ten Pin bowling."

"Yeah, definitely. We should hit it up over the next couple of days. Anyway, I guess we're gonna call this a wrap here." Tony replied towards Eric, Kimahri, and myself, getting a quick drink of water and proceeding to head back to the locker room, with us three agreeing and following the Tiger back.

As we passed by the Racquetball courts, the four of us noticed they were all empty, so we figured that either Sull and Ord were either already in the locker room or working out somewhere else. When we got into the locker room though, our question was answered.

"Hey guys!" Ord exclaimed with a big smile, with Sull waving to us while the two were finishing getting dressed back in their main clothing. The two seemed to be wet, so I was guessing that they took a quick shower.

"So how was Racquetball? I need to play that again." I asked.

"It was fun, but Sull here really has a mean serve and swing." Ord said sarcastically.

"You played good too hun, I guess we just need to play more though in general." Sull replied, putting his shoes on and being pretty much all set to go. "So, you guys gonna hit the showers like we did?" Sull asked, then giving us a quick wink.

"I think I'll just take one when I get back home. It's been a pretty long day so I think I'll just get changed and we can head out." I replied. I then looked around me though to notice that Tony, Eric, and Kimahri weren't in the same area as me, but I did barely notice Eric going to where the showers were located, so I guess it wasn't worth asking if the others were going to take one or not.

I proceeded to get undressed, putting my normal clothes back on and the sweaty ones in my gym bag. It wasn't long before I finished getting dressed, and I eventually met up with Sull and Ord waiting outside of the locker room.

After waiting and talking to each other for about 10 minutes, the others finally came out, and the 6 of us headed out of the gym to call it a day. It was already 5:45, and my stomach was growling a tad with all the working out I just did.

"So, I guess we'll just head home then? I also want to make sure we give a proper welcome to our new neighbor heh." I asked the others.

"Yep." "Sounds good." "No prob." Sull, Ord, and Tony replied. I then figured I couldn't leave the other two out and quickly asked "You wanna join us guys? I'm sure my parents won't mind heh."

"Sure! We have nothing else to do anyway today. Besides, we only live a couple towns over, and like I said earlier, you guys should come see our place sometime!" Eric replied, and with Kimahri smiling and giving a thumbs up.

"Alrighty then! By the way, what town do you guys live in?" I asked.

"We live in Raymond up in New Hampshire. It's about a 25 minute drive from here." Eric said back as the 6 of us got near our cars. It just so happened that our cars were parked diagonally from each other.

"Really?? I used to bowl in a league up there, maybe we can all hit the bowling alley there sometime!" I said happily. I then added "So anyway, I live on Port Road, you can't miss it since my house is right after the only stop light down that street.

"Ah ok, that's heading towards the beach so yeah we'll find it." Eric replied, as the two got into their REALLY nice Chevy Camaro, with Kimahri being the one driving.

Just as we were about to get in, we all noticed a familiar face walking up behind us.

"Hey Aquin!" Tony exclaimed, while we all proceeded to get in the car.

"Hey guys. You feeling better Mike?" The Gator asked, getting in the back seat along with Sull and Ord.

"Yeah, much better. Tony and I did some pretty intense workouts in there heh." I said back. Not much else was said right then and there, and we all eventually left the gym parking lot to head back home.

It was now roughly 6:05, and there was very little daylight left. Our vehicle and the Camaro arrived back at my house though, and the six of us got out to head inside.

"Holy shit, is that the Truck you were telling me about??" Aquin quickly asked as he got out of the Hummer, eying the Dodge truck with flame decals all over the door and also on the hood.

"Sure is hehe. Anyway guys, my brother and mom probably won't be used to this many people in the house at once since we usually only have this at Christmas parties, so let me greet them first heh." I casually mentioned. The others quickly agreed and waited near their cars as I walked up to my front steps with my gym bag in hand.

*DING DONG*

I eventually heard footsteps, and it didn't take long for my brother to open the door.

"Hey there Mike. How are you feeling?" Will asked me. This was actually the first time he had seen me since the whole incident occurred beforehand, and even though we didn't really get along well, he still showed that he cared.

"I'm good, are mom and dad around?" I asked, coming inside the porch and throwing the gym bag to the side.

"Yeah they're in the kitchen talking." He replied. I quickly walked inside, and when my parents saw me walking in, they immediately rushed towards me to greet me.

"MIKE!" My mom shouted, quickly coming up to me and hugging me very hard, while my Dad just stood next to her with a smile on his face.

"Guys guys....I'm ok here heh." I mentioned, hugging my mom back and then eventually breaking it.

"How are you feeling hun?" My mom asked, having a worried look on her face though.

"I'm fine, I just went to the gym with Tony and the others. Is it ok if they come in? They're all outside along with a couple of other people we met at the gym, and one of them is actually the brother of one of the guys that found me when the whole incident happened." I said to both of them.

"You don't need to ask Mike! They're more than welcome to come in here! Just try not to break anything, this house isn't THAT big" My mom replied sort of sarcastically, but I did agree and quickly headed out, motioning for the others to come inside.

"Hey guys! How are you all doing?" My mom asked, quickly greeting the others at the front door as they came up to the entrance.

"Hey Nancy!" "Hey there!" "Nice to see ya again!" Several voices emitted from the group of people. Eric and Kimahri were both the last two to come up to the door, but my mom greeted them as well.

"So I heard your brother found Mike when he was....well, you know the story." My mom asked.

"Yep, it's a good thing that both him and Morrell were vacationing out there!" The human replied. My mom was a little bit intimidated when she noticed the tall Ronso standing next to Eric, though he quickly opened himself up and greeted my Mom the same way she greeted him with a big smile on his face.

The six of us quickly settled in, and just started talking about random things as if the late April day was actually a typical Christmas Eve Party we threw annually, though Aquin and my Mom both started chatting about cars & trucks like there was no tomorrow, with the Gator REALLY showing interest in the Orange Dodge that my Mom owned. I guess it was clear that Aquin and my Mom became really good friends right then and there.

It was now 7:45, and we all decided to have a HUGE feast of Chinese food, with everyone chipping in towards the order. Even though we all started talking while we were eating around the house with my Dad, mom, and brother getting to know the others more, I quickly remembered something else that was going to happen in a little while. I quickly broke up everyone's conversation by exclaiming

"Guys! I just remembered, our new neighbor will be getting home soon! We have to greet him when he arrives!"

Everyone quickly turned at me and nodded, though Eric, Kimahri, and my family were a bit confused.

"Wait, did you meet the new homeowner?" My Dad asked, while My mom, brother, Eric, and Kimahri came up to me to listen more.

"Yeah, he's a really nice guy. He actually just opened his own restaurant in Newburyport and we all ate there today. It's called Soup Café, and I think you guys should check it out cause we all REALLY liked it, and I think I'm even going to work for him while I'm back here at home for the time being." I mentioned.

"Ah nice! So wait, when is he coming?" My Mom asked. It really must've been a small world with perfect timing involved, cause RIGHT after she said that, all of us hear the sound "DING DONG" emitting from the front door.

"I guess I'll get it!" I mentioned to all the others, bolting for the front door, though everyone was looking onward and not far behind me.

When I opened the door, I instantly smiled at who was there, as did the big Tiger back at me.

"Hey there Chowder! Or should I say...neighbor? Haha!" I exclaimed.

"Hey Mike!" The big tiger replied, literally coming up to me and hugging me right there, which I wasn't expecting but I quickly returned the favor, though it also made me blush a bit. The others immediately came up to the Tiger and greeted him as well, with my family also doing the same to welcome our new neighbor.

"It's nice to meet you! So where did you move from?" My mom asked, as the two shook hands, along with my dad and brother doing the same, and with Eric and Kimahri also greeting the Tiger too.

"Ah, well I used to live in the Philippines, but I was vacationing near Boston and REALLY liked it when I was there, so I finally decided to move here and start my own business, which we opened today! And business was pretty good too!" The Tiger happily replied. I noticed that he was wearing normal clothing this time, nothing out of the ordinary compared to what he was wearing at the restaurant earlier, though I had no problems with it at all.

A good 30 minutes passed with all of us getting to know the Tiger a bit, but it was now 8:45. My mom mentioned to everyone "Alright guys, well I need to be heading to bed soon to go to work tomorrow and Will needs to go to school, so.....where are you guys staying anyway?"

"Ummm...."

Tony and the others thought long and hard, but then one person brought up an idea.

"Hey you know what, why don't you guys come over to my new place to crash? I mean, I might as well get some use out of the other few bedrooms in there! Haha!" Chowder mentioned to everyone.

"Wait....you'd really let us stay at your place?" Tony asked. However, my mom then replied "Tony, you can stay here if you want, but we really have no other room in this house for any other people to stay over. Believe me though, if we did, we'd let you all stay here!"

"Thanks Nancy, but I'll just stay wherever Mike is. What do you wanna do hun?" Tony asked, putting his hand on my shoulder again.

"Let's go check out our new neighbor's house! We could all watch some movies or something and I mean it's right next door so it's not like it's far away haha." I replied. Tony agreed, and smiled along with the rest of the guys. "Is that ok with you Chowder?" I asked, and the big Tiger nodded back, heading towards the front door along with the rest of us besides my family.

"Goodnight guys!" "Night!" My mom and dad both exclaimed to everyone as we all headed out the front door, walking towards our new neighbor's house which was only about a couple hundred feet away. "Mike, you have your keys to get back in here if you want to, right?" My dad then asked. I quickly pulled them out of my pocket and nodded. And just as quickly as everyone came in to greet my parents, nearly everyone was walking over to Chowder's house, which was pretty large, but also went through A LOT of renovation work to make it look like a brand new place.

"Alrighty guys, welcome to my place! Just forgive the boxes, I haven't settled in completely yet haha." The Tiger happily pointed out, letting everyone into his house.

He wasn't kidding when he said he hadn't settled in. There were A LOT of boxes all scattered around near the front door of the house, though it seemed like the Tiger was all set when it came to his furniture. The Living room and kitchen were connected to the right side of the house, with a bedroom being on the left side along with the bathroom and basement door. There was also a staircase leading towards the upstairs area, and it reminded me a lot of Tony's place since it was straight ahead from the entrance of the house.

"Go ahead, look around guys if you want and settle in! Make yourselves all at home!" Chowder insisted, and we all did so by checking out the place. I happened to be the first to walk upstairs and check out the upper part of the place. When I got up there, I was sort of stunned to notice how familiar it was with Tony's house, at least in terms of how the hallway looked, though the place was definitely a lot smaller in general. When I passed by each door, I noticed a couple other guest bedrooms that looked like no one had ever used before (ESEPCIALLY since there was barely anything in the rooms besides the beds themselves and the burrows), another bathroom in the hallway, and finally an office at the end. There was also an attic door right in the center of the hallway hanging from above, though I didn't end up checking that out.

I decided to head back downstairs, and saw the others still looking around the place.

"You've really got quite the place here!" Eric mentioned, still looking around the whole area. When his eyes looked at the TV set in the living room though, his eyes immediately widened when he saw what was next to it.

"YOU HAVE A NINTENDO WII?!?!?!" The human asked very frantically, bolting right over and looking at it along with the games in the TV cabinet.

"Haha yep! Sure do! I mainly play games on my laptop though heh. You can play whatever you want though, like I said you can make yourselves at home!" Chowder replied.

Sull and Ord quickly settled in behind Eric on the VERY large couch which also had extensions on each end so people could lay their whole body on it, while Aquin was just leaning on the wall with his head down and eyes closed in the corner like one of those typical cool guys that never talks in a movie. Kimahri and Chowder were both getting to know each other a little more at that moment, and I decided to go over near Ord and Sull to sit down with them, and Tony did so as well. Eric decided to fire up the Nintendo Wii and play some Wii Sports Resort, which ultimately encouraged me to play alongside him.

The two of us ultimately decided to play some Bowling, Archery, and Table Tennis against each other in the game, while Ord, Sull, and Tony each watched on and acted like a small audience.

After a good 45 minutes of playing the game, the two of us had enough and turned off the Wii.

"So, do you all want to watch a movie and just chill around the TV? I can make some popcorn for everyone if you all want that!" The big Tiger asked.

After seeing at least 5 different people nod, the Tiger then said "Alrighty! I'll go make some while you guys decide what you wanna see! I have the Roku player hooked up to this TV so we can stream pretty much any movie we want!" With that, the Tiger walked into his kitchen to go make some popcorn for everyone.

"So what do you guys want to watch? I haven't watched Twister in a long time." I asked.

"Wow I forgot about that movie." "Yeah let's watch that!" "FUCK YEAH!" "Mhhmmmm." Many voices emitted around me.

"What do you think Aquin?" I then asked. The gator slowly rose his head from the corner of the room, though he didn't look directly at me. I then noticed that the Gator was clinching his fist a little, almost as if he had a vengeance or something.

"Aquin? You ok?" Tony asked, while the others also looked on.

After a few seconds of silence, the Gator finally said:

"Guys.....I don't know what it is....but I have a bad feeling that something bad is about to happen.....not sure where, but I can sense it....."

*****

"Feels weird being alone here at Tony's house..." Junir said to himself, getting out of his car and walking around the house to the back door with his flashlight, where the spare key was located in the upper corner of the shed that was next to the basement door entrance.

The Lion walked back towards the front and unlocked the front door, walking inside the house turning on the lights to see everything looking normal in there.

"Smells like ammonia and cleaning fluid on the floor here..." Junir thought to himself as he walked around, inspecting each floor and not noticing anything wrong, though a few things seemed like they were out of place.

"Seems like everything's fine here, guess I'll head into the city to tour around and see if Rajan and the others need anything for their Broadway shows while I have the next few days off..." The Lion said quietly as he finished checking up on the place. Before he locked up though, he thought of one last thing.

"I guess I might as well quickly check upstairs and the basement too...."

After walking downstairs and turning on the lights to check out Tony's mini-gym, the Lion didn't notice anything wrong down there.

"Basement's clear....now to check upstairs...." The Lion said to himself, walking up the basement stairs back into the main hall, and eventually walking up the stairs of the house.

"Clear....clear....I don't even know why I needed to check the place..." Junir thought as he checked the guest rooms and the office, finally reaching the bedroom door.

"Whoa....why is the hinge all bent here?" The Lion asked as he opened the bedroom door to make sure that nothing else was fishy inside there.

*CHINK*

"Huh?" The Lion asked, hearing a noise near the bottom of the door. "Guess it must've been this hinge since it's pretty bent too."

After walking around the room with his flashlight, the lion noticed a particular smell inside the room.

"Heh...Tony sure seems to do productive things in this room I guess..." The lion said sarcastically while looking at the bed, eventually walking over and inspecting the bathroom, before finally coming back out and turning off his flashlight.

"I guess everything is all set...."

*BUMP* "Ow!" The lion yelled, as his foot accidentally hit the TV stand pretty hard since the room was pitch black with the only light source coming from the hallway. *THUNK*

"Oh damn, something fell out of the TV cabinet here it seems ....hope nothing broke...." The lion said to himself, crouching down and seeing a DVD of the Godzilla movie on the ground.

"Alrighty...lemme just put this back in here.....wait.....what is this......

*10.....9......8......7.....* "WHAT THE FUCK?! HOLY SHIT!!!"

*THUMP THUMP THUMP......"HMMMMNFFFHHHH" *CRASH*

*3....2....1.....*

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM*
