Akito and the Loonatics: chapter 75

Tech was looking through blueprints for a new invention idea. "What to invent?" he asked himself. "What to invent?"

"Hey Tech, got a minute?" Ace asked the coyote.

Tech put his blueprints aside a moment and turned to him. "What is it, Ace?"

Ace walked over to him and began to tell him his idea while Akito was looking through the inventory of the inventions.

"You think it could work?" Tech asked, he had a pleased and touched smile on his face.

"I'm positive." Ace said.

"Hmm..." Tech smiled as he watched Akito, knowing he wouldn't do anything dangerous on purpose. "Well, I would be honored."

"Thanks, Tech, you'll make a great teacher for the kids." Ace said.

"I suppose it'd be good, plus they should be educated while away from home and all." Tech smiled.

"Aww, I still have to learn?" Akito asked, though he was playful, he actually loved his lessons.

"Ya need an education if you're ever gonna get into a good college, kid." Ace chuckled.

"Good point." Akito said.

"It's settled then," Tech said. "No free rides though, you will learn, but at your own pace, if something is too hard, just let me know and we'll talk about it more." he then added.

"Of course, but Estelle and I should be fine." Akito reassured about their new lessons.

"Okay, but still let me know when it's too hard." Tech said.

"No problem, also, Estelle and I read on a fifth grade level." Akito added in.

"Noted, we'll start your lessons after Estelle comes back with me as your new instructor." Tech smiled back to him.

"Great, I can't wait for the lessons to start." Akito said.

"Same here, just be ready to learn, that's all I can say," Tech smiled. "I have to warn you though, I might be slow in certain departments. You and your sister are technically older than me."

"Well, that feels weird..." Akito muttered.

"Future time travel thing, don't worry, you're good." Tech chuckled, patting him gently on the head.

"Akito, isn't it time for dinner with your family?" Ace asked.

"It might be, I better go back just in case." Akito replied.

"Time Travel is always confusing to some people, you better go now before your family starts to worry, see you soon!" Tech waved.

"I'll be back with my sister!" Akito promised before he went to go back in time in time for dinner.

Luckily for him, by the time he got there, dinner was about to start. Mo blew on the food a little and slid off her oven mitts. Vincent was reading a book while Estelle was playing with her dolls until they would be called to dinner.

"Oh, hey." Estelle greeted as she made her monstrous doll wave to Akito.

"I guess I could play with you, Sis, until dinner is ready." Akito shrugged.

"It's getting there." Estelle handed him a witch doll while she took the vampire one.

"I shall defeat you, Lord of the Dead!" Akito said in a fake witch's voice.

"NEVER!" Estelle hissed in return, playing with him. A lot of girls her age thought she was odd for liking monsters, but she never cared. If she was happy, she was happy.

Akito did his own witch's laugh as they both began to let the dolls fight.

"Give up, I'll drink your blood!" Estelle threatened.

Vincent looked to them and laughed, shaking his head. "Kids..."

"You're a kid too." The twins said in unison.

"Yeah, but I'm almost nine." Vincent chuckled, playfully teasing them.

"Whatever." The twins rolled their eyes.

The twins kept playing while Vincent continued to read.

"This is a really great book." Vincent said enjoying his book.

"What's it about?" Estelle asked.

"Sci-Fi," Vincent replied. "I've really gotten into it ever since we started working with the Loonatics."

"Cool, what's the story that you're reading called?" Akito asked.

"War of the Worlds," Vincent said as he continued to read. "It's about aliens coming down and invade the planet Earth."

"I heard Grandpa James and Grandma Elizabeth say that back then when the book was read on the radio, people thought it was really happening and got scared." Estelle spoke up.

"Yeah and where none of them could get any sleep." Akito added in.

"It's really good so far." Vincent smiled.

"Cool." Akito and Estelle said.

"But nothing can top of what we've been through with the Loonatics." Akito added.

"Sometimes I wish Jenny could be with us..." Vincent spoke up.

Akito and Estelle looked at him funny for bringing up Jenny.

"What?" Vincent asked.

"Oh, it's funny that you should mention her, Sis, would you like to do the honors?" Akito asked his twin sister.

Estelle giggled, then started to sing 'Sitting in a Tree'. Vincent rolled his eyes at them.

"Not that, Estelle, you know what I mean." Akito said.

"Oh, right," Estelle said before clearing her voice. "Oh, Jenny!"

"What?" Vincent asked.

Jenny came in then, as if on cue. "Hi, Vincent."

"Jenny?" Vincent asked again, very surprised this time. "What're you doing here?"

"Well, I really missed you, so I wanted to come and visit you that and your brother and sister helped me get here." Jenny said.

"How did you...?" Vincent looked at the twins.

Estelle and Akito smiled innocently.

"Whatever..." Vincent ignored that, then came over to Jenny. "It's great to see you again."

"And me to you." Jenny smiled fondly to him.

"Aw!" Akito and Estelle smiled.

"Don't you two have something to do?" Vincent asked his siblings.

"No." The twins said in unison.

Vincent sighed a little. Jenny hid a giggle, amused with their antics.

"Okay, okay, we'll leave you two alone." Akito said.

"Yeah, I wanna dance anyway..." Estelle said, leaving with her twin.

Jenny and Vincent watched them go and looked back to each other.

"So, what do you wanna do?" Jenny asked with a smile.

"I was thinking of watching a movie." Vincent said.

"Okay." Jenny agreed.

Vincent smiled and went to get the movie collection.

As Akito and Estelle walked, their bracelets started to blink.

"Uh..." Akito started.

"Oh." Estelle finished.

"We can't let this ruin his time with Jenny, we have to let Vincent stay here while we go on the mission." Akito said.

"You think we can do it without him?" Estelle asked.

"I hope so." Akito said.

Estelle went to their mother who was making stirring a mixing bowl. "Mom, we're going now."

"Already?" Mo frowned a little.

"I'm sorry, Mom, but it's a mission and where this time, we're going without Vincent." Akito said.

"Okay..." Mo said to them. "Be careful and have fun, okay?"

"We will." the twins promised before they would get going.

Mo smiled though that the twins respected their older brother's privacy so he could spend some time with Jenny and not have their moment ruined by the Loonatics needing their assistance. Akito and Estelle then left through the portal without Vincent this time. Jenny shook a chill down her spine.

"You okay?" Vincent asked.

"Yeah, I just thought I felt something weird." Jenny shrugged.

"I'm sure it was nothing." Vincent said.

"Okay..." Jenny shrugged again and looked through the movies with him for their little time together.
