Alex grinned as well. "Just don't forget to mention my big red dragon to Sora if you haven't already. Not my fault if he freaks out," Alex responded, teasing the new trainer.

" I didn't forget to mention her, Sora thought it was cool to have a dragon around. " Taylor smiled, knowing Alex was trying to help him relax a little.

"Really now?" he asked, glad to see that Taylor's Bishie wasn't afraid of Angelus. Either that, or he was thinking it was like Mushu and was a tiny kimono-like dragon. If that was the case, he couldn't wait to see the look on Sora's face.

" I think he'll be surprised when he sees Angelus . " Taylor smiled . He knew things were great now that he had a Bishie .

"Probably. We'll see later, if he wants to come out that is."

" I hope he does. I'll ask him when we stop for the night if he wants to stay out. He'll probably want something to eat then. He said he wasn't hungry now ." Taylor said. He wanted to be a good trainer and a friend to Sora.

"It will be interesting to say the least, although I'm curious as to which keyblade he'll try pointing at Angelus before we explain everything to him," he said with a small smirk on his face.

(Yay, more books! My wallet is crying but I don't care at the moment)

( I love new books too. :) though I sometimes think I read too much)


" I'm wondering too. I just hope he isn't too shocked." Taylor said with a grin.

(Blasphemy, you can never read too much. What I find interesting is that James Patterson has created a manga/comic/graphic novel, and of course it just had to catch my eye)

"I'd take a picture, but I don't have a camera shielded against magic. No offense to my Young Wizards, but electricity and magical energies just don't mix," he said.

( Sounds interesting . I like his books .I just finished the first book in the Maximum Ride series recently and have read others written by him. )

" That doesn't sound good. " Taylor said and heard his stomach growl. He blushed a little bit hoping no one heard it.

(I started the Maximum Ride series, but I was distracted by Black Jewels and haven't gotten back to it yet. The title of the graphic novel is Witch & Wizard)

Alex chuckled lightly when he heard his partner's stomach growl. "It can be troublesome, especially if you aren't prepared for it, but you can get around it with the right runes, it's okay. After their parents let me catch Nita and Kit, I had my capsules and music device modified so that they aren't effected by any spells, either short term or long and taxing spells."

( thank you for telling me the name of the book )

" Sounds interesting . Think lunch is ready? I'm hungrier than I thought I was."

(don't mention it, and hopefully by the end of the week I'll have more new books ^_^)

"It does sound interesting, unless you don't know why all your gadgets are suddenly going haywire, but I think I can make up a couple of quick sandwiches for us," he then turned to his Bishies, "Anyone else hungry?" he asked as he got several nods. Alex noticed that Kit wasn't paying attention. "Kit?" he asked, and still got nothing. Sighing lightly, he then called him by his real name, quickly gaining his attention at the rareness of it being said.

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention. I was thinking...you said that most spells and magic in general affect electronics. Yet, we had all types of electronics at our house and they weren't affected," he said, thinking about what was said.

"I think you are a special case Kit. Your specialize in spells in metalogy and the inanimate. As such, your spells won't affect electronics as much as say, Nita's would, or any other magic in general. Anyways, you hungry?" he asked, getting a nod from the black-haired male. "Alright then, time for lunch. Taylor, maybe you should let Sora out, see if he wants something to eat?" He asked, checking in on Angelus. Seeing that she was able to find a few fish to catch and eat on her own, she was fine and content.

" Sounds like a good idea. " Taylor let Sora out and asked him if he wanted something to eat. He said he did. Taylor was glad Sora did want out . To him this was a good sign.

Alex put the kitchen capsule on the ground before opening it. "Cold cuts okay with everyone?" he asked, wondering if Sora and Taylor were okay with it.

" Sounds good to me." Sora said with Taylor nodding in agreement.

"Alright then. Give me a few minutes," he said before mentally counting how many people he had to make sandwiches for. Once done, he headed into the kitchen and grabbed supplies before making sandwiches for all of them. He then placed the food items back into the refrigerator and took out some condiments and placed them nearby. After taking out a stack of paper plates, he grabbed one of the sandwiches before walking out and telling everyone that the food was ready and to only take one.

Taylor and Sora went after Alex and his Bishies went . They each grabbed a sandwich and sat down to eat.

Alex finished his sandwich before getting up and stretching lightly, feeling a few bones cracking as he did so, ignoring the looks he was given by his Bishie.

Taylor finished his sandwich and took his and Sora's plates to be thrown away. He had heard a message come in on his Bishiedex and would check it soon.

Alex took his plate and the plates of his Bishie before throwing them away. He then closed the capsule and picked it back up before he heard the message. He checked his Bishidex and saw that it wasn't his.

Taylor checked the message. It was from the police chief in the town they were last in. Taylor turned pale at what the message said.

Alex saw Taylor pale as he read the message. "Ty?" he asked in concern, waiting to hear an answer.

" The message that I got was from the police chief . There were kidnappings at the orientation that I was at yesterday. They said that a message was sent saying that the trainers that were taken were now in the hands of The Organization. They want me to check in with them once I arrive in the next town. " His fears had been confirmed .

Alex growled after he heard what Tyler said and realized what this meant: Tyler was going to be targeted by the Organization and they had to be prepared for it. "You know what I think this means?" he asked, not waiting for an answer from the boy. "This just got personal."
