continued from Ready to Go
When the kids first came through the portal, the morning sky was bright and clear. They had all figured Threa would be different than Earth, but both planets looked the same. "Did we even transport?" asked Cody.
A building with a sign that read "Sporemon Adoption Center" answered Cody's question, but Andrew had another.
"Should we go in, and try to get our own sporemon?"
Alissa piped up "I hope I can get a horse-like one!" If there was one thing Alissa loved, it was horses.
"That might be a little difficult under the circumstances." a woman with short brown hair, and in her early 30's said, coming through the two sliding doors. The doors slid open and behind the woman the kids could see the Center was a mess. Papers and broken glass was everywhere, and pins and terrariums were overturned. Andrew realized who the woman was.
"You're Ali Charles aren't you?" He asked. The woman smiled.
"I haven't gone by that name in years. I'm Ali Newman now." Ali said. A girl about Andrew and Cody's age came through the doors. The way she carried herself and her body language told everyone she was ticked about something. "And this is my daughter, Veronica." Ali said. The girl huffed and looked away at no one in particular.
"Hi, Veronica." Andrew said, and in an attempt to be friendly, stuck out his hand for a shake.
Veronica held up her nose and huffed. Her mother nudged her. "Veronica, they're trying to be friendly, shake this young man's hand."
Veronica reluctantly mumbled "Hey," and shook each of the children's hands.
"I'm afraid the Adoption Center will have to close children," Ali said. "all the sporemon have been taken by a group of kids that call themselves the 'Liberation Troop', so you can't quite get sporemon easily right now."
A whinny sounded from behind the center.
"Maybe there are more sporemon here then you think" Marilee said.
To be continued.......
