Apocalypse
chapter 24



We jump ahead in time now to the day before the group gets ready to test  fly
the ship for the first time. They have all worked hard in the last few days
preparing and gathering supplies to take with them to their new home. They
have  gathered an abundance of things including any good lumber, building
materials,  and wiring they could find just incase they needed to build some sort of
shack  when they get to their destination. Most of the systems Adrien had put
in the  cave like the power and security systems have already been stripped
out and  packed away in the ships cargo area. The solar panels Adrien built that
were on  top of the hill were removed and also put in the ship. The last
major thing to  be removed from the cave was the Alien device they were using to
power some of  their stuff and run all of their electronic gear. "Hey Adrien
are you sure that  the ship isn't gonna crash and kill us all?" Chris asked. "I
can not guarantee  anything but I think we have done a good job on it. I
believe we will be fine,  but I am going to test the systems personally before we
all pile inside." Adrien  said reassuring the nervous little dude. we have
already taken all of our  bedding and clothes and belongings to the ship and we
all had a sleeping bag and  a pillow left in the cave to sleep on our last night
in it. All of the food and  provisions were packed and ready to go in the
cart attached to the back of the  ATV. We are all going to sleep together as a
group tonight in the common area  for security and just to say good bye to our
current home. Adrien has gotten the  cloaking shields working on the ship and
the engines were working good enough to  get us where we were going. I mean
it's a space ship for shits sakes, but it is  only going to fly a few thousand
miles maybe. As for the power system in the  cave we are going to dismantle the
remainder of it in the morning before we  leave for the last time, only so we
can have the hologram to hide the mine  entrance still running over night.
Dinner would be something simple so that we  didn't need to clean up much.



The next morning came all too soon  as we were piling the last of our stuff
on the ATV to take to the ship to be  loaded. Once we got there Adrein went
right to work on the ship as the others  unpacked the ATV. "Ok I have gone
through the preliminary check list and I  believe we will have a green flag
tomorrow." Adrien said. "You sure you can fly  this thing?" AJ asked him. At first he
didn't know what to say. "I do not know  for sure. I will do my best though.
The systems are mostly automatic but we will  have to program the destination."
Adrien answered. "Ok just making sure." AJ  said giving him a sarcastic
thumbs up. Adrien looked at me and gave me the  thumbs up with a puzzled look
asking me what it meant. "Don't worry about it.  He's being his normal self." I
told him. "You mean obnoxious and rude?" Adrien  said. "Yep. That's our Adam." I
said laughing. "Look man it's still early enough  I'm going to town for one
last trip to get the last few things we need. I'm  going to take Chris with me
maybe his nose and ears might pick something up  before I do." I told Adrien.
"Ok I will get the ship ready to fly. I want to do  a test flight to make sure
the bugs are worked out before tomorrow." He replied.  I gathered Chris and
told him what we were going to do and we got on the ATV and  headed to town one
last time. "What are we going after?" he asked on the way.  "Well for one
thing sun block. If we are going to the tropics it's going to be  sunny there all
year so we are going to need it at first, and some swimming  trunks. I mean
I'm all for being nekked all the time but I don't want sunburn on  my dick or my
ass." I explained. We arrived at the outskirts of town a few  minutes later
with our guns at the ready as usual. We go into the wal mart which  is now
almost stripped of usable things and get what we need. "Hey you know what  I just
thought of something. Can't we just stop at another wal mart or something  on
the way to where we are going?" Chris said making a damn good point. "Damn
that is a good idea bud. I may have to give you something special for thinking
of that." I told him winking at him. "You mean what I think you do?" he asked.
 "Maybe. You want to?" I said hinting. With out saying a word his hands flew
to  his zipper and button of his jeans and in a flash they were around his
ankles  and his little shaft was getting hard rapidly. Since we were at the check
out  lane I helped him hop up on one of the counters and then I went to town
slobbing  his yummy little knob. He moaned like he hadn't had any kind of fun
like this in  a long time, even though I knew he did daily. I was starting to
get into a good  rhythm going up and down on him when something caught both of
our attention  making us stop instantly. I let his pecker fall from my lips
and raised up to  look at his face. "You hear it don't you?" I said. he nodded
yes with a scared  and concerned look. "Get dressed quick we have to get the
fuck out of here now!"  I said stressing now. He pulled his pants back up and I
dragged him out before  he even had them fastened. We jumped on the ATV and
took of for the ship as fast  as I could get the thing to go. "Come on dammit!"
I said trying to push the gas  pedal further and harder than I could go.
"Adrien change of plans get every one  in the ship now! Chris and I are coming as
fast as we can. We're leaving asap."  I said to Adrien through my thoughts. "I
have already started the start sequence  for the engines. I sensed the threat
as well." He said back to me. We tore  through the trees and brush still
going as fast as we could up the hill to the  ship. "Derrik I heard something but
what was it? I'm scared." Chris said  starting to cry. "It's them they're
coming." I said referring to the monsters.  Chris then began to freak out a
little. "Hey don't worry bud. We're going to get  to the ship then it's off to
swimming and playing all day ok so don't worry.  When we get to where we're going
I'll finish what we was just doing." I said  trying to calm him.



Adrien had the ship online and ready for it's  maiden flight since we
repaired it after it crashed. Everyone was inside and  ready for the flight and he
had the cargo opening open so we could just drive  right in with the ATV. I kept
the ATV gas pedal to the floor as we approached  the ship and didn't let off
till we were inside the belly of the ship. As soon  as we were inside Adrien
closed the door and activated the cloaking shields.  "Come on lets get to the
control room." I told Chris who was still a bit shaken.  We got to the control
room and everyone was there sitting on the floor except  the hybrid who was
operating the control systems. The ship could only be  controlled by some one
with the mental abilities that Adrien and I have. Any  normal person would have
a hard time getting the ship to do much. "Adrien I know  you wanted to test
this bird out, but we need to go now. They are close." I said  to him as he got
the ship systems all going. "Who is close?" Carry asked.  "Monsters! I heard
them in wal mart when Derrik was su...." Chris started to give  away what we were
doing when we heard them but stopped in mid sentence. "It's a  lot of them
and they are on foot." I told everyone. Some of them started to cry  in fear. I
was a little scared myself. If we didn't die from the ship crashing  with us
in it then the monsters may find us and then we'd still be in a world of  shit.
"Every hang on." Adrien said as we felt the ship begin to shutter. He  turned
on the view screen and we could see the ground start to disappear under  us.
We were now in flight. "Derrik please take the other position please."  Adrien
said then a chair that we didn't know was there came up out of the floor.  I
sat in it and then something came down from the ceiling and stopped just above
 my head. "Try to concentrate on the ship." Adrien said. A beam of light then
 came out of the thing above me and shined on my head. All of the sudden it
felt  like I was a physical part of the ship. "Wow. Do you feel this to?" I
asked  Adrien. "Yes if you mean being one with the craft." He answered. "What is
it?"  Cody asked me. "It's like I'm part of the ship. It's wild. I can see
everything  under us. It's like being a bird and flying." I replied. We got over
the top of  town and Adrien stopped the ship in a hover. It was then we saw
something  shocking. The soldier that we had dealt with previously was running
through town  being chased by the monsters. "Holy shit look at all of them!" AJ
said at the  large number of beasts. I turned and looked at Adrein then. "Yes
you are right."  He said. The ship then shot a burst of energy at the
monsters destroying them.  "Wow did we just do that?" Donny asked. "Yes it was the
ships ion cannon."  Adrein said. "Cool! This is better than a video game!" Donny
said then. We had  saved the soldier from being killed, but maybe only for
now. It was true he did  cause us some hard times and pain, but we couldn't just
condemn him to a death  by those monsters. That would be inhumane even for us
dumb kids. The simple fact  was we saved him this time, but now he's on his
own. He was too much of a risk  for us to try to take with is again. He tried
to kill Adam once and almost did  kill Gavin when he shot him. The ship then
under Adrien's control continued on  over the landscape giving us an eagle's eye
view of it. As we flew over the  orphanage some of the others were saddened
to see that it had been seriously  damaged by the monsters attack. It was
practically on the verge of collapsing.  "Wow it's a good thing we decided to get
to the mine." Nathan said. "Well Adrien  I'd say that so far it's a successful
test flight." Phillip told him. "Do you  guys want to experience something out
of this world?" Adrien said. Everyone  looked at each other then and wondered
what he was talking about. "Go for it." I  told him knowing what he was going
to do. "Whoa what the fuck?!" AJ said as he  began to float off the floor.
Adrien had temporarily disengaged the gravity in  the ship making it feel like
we were in outer space. It took everyone by  surprise at first, but then the
younger guys loved the sensation. "Wow this is  like swimming with out the
water." Justin said making like he was paddling in a  swimming pool. After a short
time of weightlessness everyone gently settled back  to the floor getting a
lot of moans and groans that the thrill ride was over. "I  apologize but it
takes a lot of concentration to keep the ship going." Adrien  told them. I could
feel my mind flowing even further into the ships systems as I  began to figure
out how to work things. "Now that we have concluded the ship is  safe to fly
where are we going?" Adrien asked. "Damn good question. I had my  heart set on
the Bahamas, but I guess there are other places we could go." I  replied. "We
can try the Bahamas first and if that place is not good for us we  can try
some where else." Adrein suggested. I guess the course was set then.  Grand
Bahama Island here we come.



We fly fro hours over the  countryside seeing town after town that had been
devastated by the monster  invasion forces. Almost every where we looked there
was devastation. The ship  was not going at it's normal blistering speed that
it was capable of when it is  operating normally, but from what I could tell
we were cruising around 300 miles  an hour. In only a few hours time we were
very far from home, further from home  than some of us had ever been. We came
upon a town in northern Georgia that  looked relatively partially intact. "Wow
check it out guys, building that aren't  leveled." I pointed out to the group.
"Wonder why they didn't mess this place up  to." Carry said. "Uncertain, there
doesn't seem to be anything abnormal about  the geography." Adrien said.
"Look a wal mart imagine that." AJ said pointing  out that almost every town we
had seen so far had a wal mart in it. Only thing  was this one was still
standing. "You guys thinking what I am?" I asked  everyone. "Umm..shopping trip?"
Chris said. "Exactly. There has to be tons of  stuff in there that we couldn't
get at home cus it was destroyed." I said. "I  will land in the parking lot."
Adrien said. The ship descended slowly to the  ground and the landing legs
deployed so we could set down normally. As we neared  the ground a few light poles
got in the way and were bent over to the ground  like match sticks. One of the
landing legs settled on the top of a brand new  Mercedes crushing it like a
beer can. "Hope he's got full coverage insurance."  Cole said making every one
bust out laughing. The ship left one huge foot print  in the black top of the
parking lot. Adrein opened the hatch then and lowered  the ramp so we could
get outside of the ship. I disconnected my mind from the  ship and got out of
the chair as it lowered back into the floor. "I will stay  and monitor for
trouble." Adrien said. "Ok I'll try not to be in there too long  dude. I know you
want to look around and spend some time with Carry." I told him  as I left the
ship with the others. Four of us had guns and had them at the  ready as we
approached the front doors of the place. "Every one in a tight  group. Guns up
and eyes open guys." I told every one. I didn't sense any  presence, but that
didn't mean there wasn't something amiss. We went through  each isle and checked
the place out thoroughly before we commenced to shop for  free. "All right I
guess it's all clear. Everyone grab a cart and go nuts." I  said grabbing my
own cart. We each had our own cart and the guys were talking  about what they
were going to grab. The younger ones of course wanted toys, and  I was more
concerned with what kind of food and supplies they had. We walked  through the
building as a group grabbing things here and there as we went. As we  approached
the toy department Zack, Justin, and Donny were practically drooling.  The
twins wanted a few things, but they were in no way as hyper as the littler  guys
were over the toys. We filled our carts to capacity then rolled them  outside
to load them. I went up to let Adrien know that the place was a jack pot  and
we could get a lot of supplies here so he agreed to keep watch a while
longer. We all went back inside this time for the essentials like food and  clothes
and supplies. We all grabbed some new clothes and shoes for the next  cart
load. Carry took my cart this time out to the ship as I grabbed another and
began to collect medicines and anything in the pharmacy we could use to fill
this cart with. I rolled it to the front door and set it there then grabbed one
more cart. This time I made it to sporting goods and took all the guns and
ammunition I could just incase we may need it. As I breaking open a display case
 AJ walked up with an empty cart. "What should we put in this one?" he asked.
 "Grab a bunch of fishing gear and stuff and pile it in there. We are going
to  the tropics you know. We may need to catch fish to eat eventually." I said.
He  piled his cart full and took it out as I was filling mine up. In the end
we had  nearly 40 carts full of supplies and clothes and other things we
wanted before  Adrien even got to go into the building. "Ok I think you can
disconnect now and  get yourself some things." I told him as I came to the control
center when I was  done shopping. "O but I want to make sure you have a handle
on the ship before I  go." He said before the chair I was in rose back out of
the floor again. I sat  down and patched into the ships systems like before and
it was like I was  watching everything from a high place above us and I could
see in all directions  at once. Only then did Adrien leave and go inside with
Carry.



Carry helped him pick out clothes and things like that to fill  one cart then
he grabbed another for supplies he felt like we may need. He went  to the
hard ware department and grabbed every scrap of wire he could find and  anything
else that looked useful. Then it was a cartload form electronics. He  had a
couple laptop computers he wanted for parts and lots of other stuff to. In  the
end he had gotten 5 carts of supplies and clothes himself. He had all kinds
of things that I would have never of thought of in his carts, like bug spray. I
 never gave a thought to needing it, but we might. As he was inside getting
his  final cart of supplies with Carry she stopped in mid stride. "What is
wrong?" he  asked her. "Oh it's nothing." She said holding her stomach. Adrien put
his hand  on her stomach and then had an astounded look on his face. "Oh
goodness." He  said looking into her eyes. "What?" she asked not knowing why he
said that. She  thought she had a stomach cramp or something. "WE have...you and I
have..."Adrien  tried to say. "What?" she asked again. "Conceived." He said
then with a look he  had never shown before. It was a look of fear, happiness,
and wonder all at  once. "What? You mean I'm pregnant?!" Carry asked getting a
worried look. Adrien  only slowly nodded his head yes. "Oh fuck now what are we
going to do?" she said  starting to hyper ventilate. "Calm down. We will work
through this I love you."  He told her as her eyes began to tear up. "That's
the first time you ever said  that to me." She said as she smiled and hugged
him. She was happy and scared at  the same time of the thought of becoming a
mother. "Are you positive I am... you  know" she said hinting to her pregnantcy.
"You could say that. I felt the heart  beating." He told her. Now knowing why
she had been feeling so bad in the  mornings she continued on with him
gathering supplies so the trip could proceed.  In the ship they stowed the last of the
carts of supplies and walked hand in  hand to the control center where the
rest of us were. "Eww gross!" Cole said as  he saw his sister walk in holding
Adrien's hand. "No grosser than you putting  your brothers thing in your mouth."
She replied making him scowl and us laugh.  "We have some news." She said
then. We all looked that the two of them wondering  what was up. "Well let's just
say it like this, uncle Cody and uncle Cole." She  said. At first they didn't
know what she was talking about but it hit me right  off. "Are you serious?"
I asked. They both nodded yes then. "I'll be damned." AJ  said as he figured
it out. "What?!" the twins both said at the same time. "She's  pregnant you
dummies." AJ told them. Their eyes grew to the size of pool balls  then. "For
real?" Cody asked and Carry nodded and smiled.





This news left us all speechless and astounded. Could it be  that Adrien has
knocked Carry up in the few times that they have had sex?  Evidently it may be
so. "Ok, we'll be uncles just as long as we don't have to  change any
diapers." Cole said with a smile. I could sense Adrien was sort of  happy but
confused and scared at the same time. He was happy because he had  shared in making a
new life, and scared and confused because none of us knew how  in the hell to
deliver a baby. That would be a hurtle we will conquer when we  come to it.
After we had everything stowed in the cargo area we the ship lifted  off and we
continued on to our destination. We did make a slight detour on our  way,
some of the guys wanted to see Disney Land while we had the chance. I for  one
had never been there myself so we went for the hell of it. We weren't  planning
on landing or stopping, but just flying over to say that we have seen  it
before. We neared Orlando Florida a short time later and we could see the  park
from a distance away. Some of the younger guys were getting excited and  antsy
to see the place. As we grew closer and closer the sight before us broke  our
hearts. One of the most beloved places a kid could ever visit was virtually
destroyed. There wasn't much left of the place, only a few buildings were still
standing and a few rides had escaped destruction. Cinderella's castle was now
in  ruins. The Epcot center is a pile of shiny metal now. Zack started to cry
 because he thought the monster had killed Mickey Mouse and the rest of the
gang.  "Oh honey I'm sure that Mickey and Minny and the others all got away
safely."  Carry said comforting him as he cried. It did put a lump in my throat
and a sore  place in my heart to see this place like this. We were about to fly
past the  ruins when Adam spoke up. "Hey what's that down there? Look!"  We
slowed  the ship to a stop and looked down at the earth below us.



There  in the ruins that use to be Disney Land we saw a person digging
through what  looked like a trash can. A few seconds later another joined them.
"Holy shit  survivors!" AJ cried out. "Should we land and see if everything is
ok?" Adrein  asked. "Don't know. What do you guys think?" I asked the others. "Of
course we  should." Carry said sternly. We descended to a low level just
above tree top  high before we turned the cloaking shield off. When the two people
on the ground  saw us hey freaked out. One ran away and he other dropped to
his knees and  dropped their head as if they were defeated and just had enough
and were ready  to die. We landed about 100 feet away and shut the engines
off. Adrien opened  the hatch and we all went out to this person. They didn't
raise their head at  all to look at us. I walked up to them and knelt down in
front of them. "Are you  ok?" I asked calmly. The head slowly rose and I got a
look at the persons face.  I was greeted by a dirty face and the nicest blue
eyes I had ever seen. "It's ok  we're not gonna hurt you." I told them. At this
point I couldn't tell if this  was a boy or a girl. They had shoulder length
light brown hair and a cute face,  you know the features that made a cute boy or
girl only I couldn't tell through  the dirt. When I heard the voice it told
me that this was a cute boy under all  that grime. His voice was slight and
quiet, but I could tell it was a boys and  also foreign to our country. "Are you
real? Or am I already dead or dreaming?"  he asked. "We are definitely real.
Do you need help?" I said. "I though everyone  else was dead." He said before
he started to cry. "That we can't answer, but we  are definitely real and
alive. Can we help you some how?" I asked again. All he  did was sniffle a bit. "We
saw you digging in the trash, do you have any food?"  Carry asked and he
shook his head no. With out a word Carry went back inside the  ship and grabbed
some water and some food and brought to the kid. He looked at  us like we were
saving angels and thanked us over and over. "Who was the other  person that was
here?" I asked. "That was Tyson. He must have ran back to our  hiding place."
The kid said. "Who is he? He looked older than you do." Adam  said. "He is my
commanding officer. We were in a military academy in Alabama. We  got to
visit this place on a field trip and the space ships came and killed  every one."
The kid replied. I told the kid my name and all the other and he  then told us
his. "I'm Maxwell Corbin. Every one calls me Max though." "Ok Max  we should
really find your friend now. It's not safe to be out in the open like  this."
I suggested. "Very well, but he's not my friend really. We're just stuck  with
each other." He replied. I went back inside and grabbed a pistol and  stashed
it in my waist of my shorts and went back out to the kid. "Ok I'm gonna  go
with him and get the other dude. You guys stay here and go back in the ship.
Adrien turn the cloak on just incase and we'll be back soon." I told every one.
 I stood outside the ship with Max as the others went back inside and then
ship  then vanished before our eyes. "Where did it go?" Max asked. "It's still
there,  it's just invisible now see." I said as I tapped on the ships hull. The
two of  us then walked quickly to the hiding place to try to find the older
kid.  "Commander Tyson sir, are you here?" Max said as we walked into what was
left of  a restaurant. As I walked in I was taken by surprise as some one
grabbed me from  behind in choke hold. "Why did you bring them here private?" I
heard the other  kid ask as I struggled to get free. "No sir they are here to
help us!" Max  pleaded. "No private they are the enemy in disguise. You have
brought them in to  our barracks and now they will kill us." The other kid said.
I fought as hard as  I could but I could feel the lights starting to go out as
he choked me. "No sir  stop!" Max said then ran over and tried to help me get
free. "He's not an alien  stop!" Max pleaded as he tried to free me from the
bigger kids choke. I managed  to grab hold of the gun I stashed, but I was in
no position to shoot the older  kid. I squeezed the trigger just before I
passed out firing a shot in a random  direction. The next thing I knew I there was
only blackness. I woke a few  minutes later with a scary jolt running through
me. I was wide eyed and super  sensitive to my surroundings. "Whoa slow down
Derrik. You're ok now." AJ said as  he steadied me sitting upright on the
ground. I looked over and saw the older  kid sitting on the floor and he looked to
be tied up and gagged. "What the hell  happened?" I asked not knowing. "Well
we were in the ship and Adrien freaked out  all the sudden and we all ran
behind him to see what was wrong. He told us you  was in trouble so we went
looking for you. Adrien led us in here and we saw that  dude over there choking you
from behind so we kicked his ass." AJ said.  "Thanks you guys I think you
might have saved my life." I told everyone.  "Shit dude don't mention it you did
it for us a bunch of times." Adam said  smiling. He helped me to my feet then
and it took me a minute to regain my  balance. "Man what the fuck is wrong with
you? All I was trying to do was help  you." I asked the older kid tied up. I
removed his gag and he answered me. "I am  protecting our barracks from
intruders and you are definitely intruders." "No  sir they were only trying to help.
They gave me some food." Max tried to say.  "Quiet private. I decide how do
stuff here." Tyson ordered. "Dude you are fucked  in the head." AJ said and I
gave him the evil look for cussing again. "I'm sorry  Derrik but he is. He is
fucking nuts to think we are aliens and he is some kind  of commando or some
shit. Dude look around you this place sucks. You got no food  or nothing here.
And you're a dick for being mean to that kid." AJ told Tyson as  he pointed to
Max. "I hate to say it but I agree with his vulgarity completely."  Carry
said. I had made a decision to ask Max to go with us and I'm sure the  others
wouldn't just leave him here with this psycho marine wannabe. "I think I  speak
for all of us when I say this, Max you are welcome to come with us if you  want.
You don't have to stay here with him if you don't want to." I said.
"Remember who you are private. I am in command here and I say we both stay."  Tyson
said. Max had a defeated look on his face and just said yes sir. "No fuck  that!
Max if you want to go with us and have food to eat instead of digging in
trash cans looking for food and have people that give a shit about you then you
can come with us. You don't have to stay here and put up with his shit!" Adam
said very sternly while his face started to turn red. I have only rarely seen
 him this upset, and upset he really was. "Commander sir, I think I want to
go  with them." Max said quietly. That made the older kid severely pissed then.
 "Private I forbid you to go." He said with a hateful look on his face. "Look
 dude if you want to stay here in this hell hole go for it. Just because you
do doesn't mean he wants to or has to." I said. "Yeah come on Max get your
shit  and let's go." AJ said. I could tell Max was scared of the older kid even
though  he was securely tied up. Tyson stood up then and AJ pointed a gun at
him. He was  easily 6 to 7 inches taller than I was and outweighed me by a lot.
If he wanted  to he could have killed me and almost did. "This is treason."
He told Max with a  stare of hatred. "Yeah, yeah just shut up. I bet you feel
like a real man  picking on a little kid like that don't you." AJ told him. "Ah
fuck it." AJ said  as he struck the kid on the side of the face with the gun
but knocking him out.  "Oh no you killed him bubby!" Donny said starting to
cry. "No he's alive just  out cold." I said checking his pulse. "He's gonna have
a head ache and be pissed  when he wakes up though. Let's untie him and get
out of here." I suggested.  "Untie him, why?" AJ asked. "Well Adam we can't
just leave him tied up like that  can we. Even if he is an ass we shouldn't bring
ourselves down to his level." I  said as I cut the rope around his wrist.
"Come on Max it'll be ok. He can't hurt  you any more." I said leading the little
guy out holding his hand. I could feel  him trembling as we walked. I could
sense he was truly scared out of his wits  over everything that just happened.
"It's ok bud really." I said pulling him  closer and wrapping an arm over his
shoulder. We entered the ship and I could  feel a sense of apprehension coming
from him. "Trust me it's safe. We rebuilt  this thing our selves." I
reassured him. He swallowed a big gulp and stepped  inside with us.




"In a little while we will be in the Bahamas  and looking for a new home. I'm
sorry we had to leave the Tyson guy there but we  can't have a nut like that
around us we already been through that once." I  explained. "Cody, Cole why
don't you guys help him get situated so we can take  off." I told the twins.
They helped him get ready for take off as Adrien and I  got into our positions
and readied the ship for take off. The ship recloaked and  we then lifted off
and began on our way to our new home. "Umm, Derrik if he's  going with us
shouldn't we get him some clothes and stuff to? I mean we got a  lot but everyone
got stuff they wanted, except for him now." Josiah suggested.  "Good idea Joe,
but we cat go back up to Georgia to that wal mart." I told him.  "Ok but
there's a little land still between us and the ocean." He replied. He  did have a
point and maybe we could find some stores intact to check out. "Ok  good idea.
We'll look on the way." I said. While Adrien and I flew the ship and  operated
the systems Carry and her brothers cleaned up the kid we just found.  When
they were done it was a night and day difference in his looks. "Wow there  was a
cute boy under all that dirt." Carry said making him smile. "Where are you
from? Your voice sounds weird." Cole asked him. "I was born in Australia, Sydney
 to be exact. I moved here when my dad's job moved here a few years ago." Max
 explained. "How old are you?" I asked him curiously. "I'm 10. I'll be 11 in
March." He mentioned. "In March, um what year was you born in?" I asked. "On
March 14 1997." He replied. "Ok I'm afraid you're already 11 my friend. March
 was a few months ago." I said breaking the news to him. "Oh..." he said with a
sad  look. You could see the grief on his face from not even knowing what
month it  was and that his birthday had already passed. He was a small kid for
11. He was  actually no bigger than Donny who was a few years younger. He was
definitely  cute though. The dirt and grime were hiding those good looks and now
it he was  bonerific, in other words he would make you hard in a second to
see his  cuteness. His clothes were tattered and dirty just like his body and he
did have  a slight smell, but that was expected all considering. He did have
a very cute  smile though and what looked like to be a knock out little body
to. "Concentrate  on the ship." I heard Adrein think to me as I noticed my
thoughts straying to  Max and I noticed I had popped a boner. "Sorry I couldn't
help it he's a cutie."  I thought back to Adrien. I diverted my attention to the
search for a store to  stop at to find Max some clothes and other stuff to
have. We came upon a  severely damaged mini strip mall and saw a half intact
sporting goods store.  "Hey Adrien let's try that place. There's bound to be some
clothes still left in  there. We may even find some stuff for our new home."
I suggested. The ship  descended once again and we touched down to the earth.
OK Every one stay on the  ship this time. I'm taking Max in with me to see if
we can find him some clothes  in the sporting goods store. If we find other
stuff in there we can use and it's  safe I'll send Adrien a message." I told the
group. I grabbed a gun once again  and started to lead Max out and AJ told me
"Have fun." then he winked his eye.  Evidently he thought I was going in to
see if I could work Max out of his  clothes. Actually that is exactly what I
was going to do, just not for the  reason AJ was thinking. I wanted to get the
nasty ones off so we can get nice  ones on.




I entered the building with the gun ready as usual  and Max followed right
behind right on my heels almost. "Let's check the place  out first before we
start shopping." I told him. It took us a few minutes but  the place checked out
ok. We walked around then just looking for a few minutes  to find some things
he liked. I grabbed an overturned cart laying on its side  and we began to
fill it up. The place was a jackpot for outdoor wear and items.  I knew once we
had Max some clothes and things I would have to get the others to  come in and
gather up some things to take with us. Max collected a lot of nice  clothes,
but he was lacking one thing only because I don't think he was thinking  about
it. "Um Max aren't you going to get any under wear? I mean you don't have  to,
but well you know..." I told him. "Oh yes I forgot all about it thanks." He
replied. We went to the boys department and they didn't seem to have normal
under wear. All they had was the supportive athletic types. Not very comfy to
just wear casually. "Well kiddo I don't think we're gonna have any luck finding
them here. If we see another store we will try there." I told him and he
smiled.  "Thank you for being so nice to me. No one is ever this nice to me." He
said  losing that smile. "Why's that?" I inquired. "My mom died when I was
little so  it's just been me and my dad for a long time now and he's always busy
so I  hardly ever see him. He sent me to that military academy so he wouldn't
have to  worry about me all the time. I hated it there. Every one was always so
mean to  me there. Commander Tyson was one of the highest ranking superiors
at the  academy. He was always mean to me. He use to always make me do the
worst  punishments when I did something wrong." He went on to explain. "Well dude
you  don't gotta worry about that any more. No more punishments or being
treated bad.  Now you got a lot of new brothers and an older sister to take care of
you. I  think you'll be happy once you get to know all of us better." I told
him making  him smile again. "Come on lets get your stuff out to the ship so I
can tell the  others about all this good stuff in here. I'm sure the swimming
floats and rafts  will be going with us once they see them." I told him. We
walked back outside  and the ship appeared before us once more and the hatch
opened up. "Hey everyone  this place has a lot of stuff. You guys go in and get
what you want and lets get  going again." I told the others. They all seemed
to fly out of the ship and into  the store to see what goodies they could find.
Once Max and I were alone in the  ship I suggested he change clothes into
some new ones and out of the nasty rags  he was wearing and get cleaned up. It
appeared he didn't have much modesty about  me seeing him naked at all because
he stripped right down and stood before me  naked. I couldn't help but admire
his body. Perfectly shaped and proportioned  with a nice smooth hairless shaft
dangling above marble sized balls. He didn't  seem to notice me staring at him
with a boner tenting my shorts as he picked out  some clothes to wear. He
turned to face me then and noticed my boner sticking  out. I looked down then
tried to turn away from him so he didn't see so I didn't  make him feel weird or
anything. "It's ok I seen them all the time back at the  academy in the
showers. A lot of the older guys got big like that in there." he  said. Little did
he know I wanted to stick mine in his tight little ass and his  in my mouth. I
tried to change the subject and told him, "Umm, do you wanna wash  off before
you put the new clothes on?" "Sure but how?" he asked. I got him a  towel out
of the cargo area and wet it down some wit water and a little soap. He  began
to wash his nakedness off just as some of the guys walked back in. "Geez
Derrik couldn't you wait to get him naked till we got to where we're going?"
Chris said being a smart ass. "Ha ha smart ass funny." I snapped back as he and
Josiah laughed. Max just went on toweling off as we made our little jokes not
having a clue of what we really meant. "He does have a nice bod though." Joe
said. "Uh, thanks I think." Max told him. He finished wiping off and pulled on
 some new shorts and a t-shirt then. He looked a whole lot better now that he
was  semi clean and in new clothes. "Wow much better." Carry said looking him
over  making him blush. He came to me then and whispered in my ear, "Has she
seen you  guys naked before?" "Oh yeah all the time we see her to. It's no big
deal." I  told him. "I've ever seen a naked girl before." He replied. "Well
just wait  you'll get to see her eventually, that I promise. And she will see
you to."" I  told him. The guys had brought in a few more cart loads of stuff
from this store  as well. They got snorkeling stuff, swimming floats and tubes
and beach balls  and all sorts of other good stuff to have fun with. Adrien
had got maybe the  only usable thing of the whole bunch. He found a spear for
spearing fish to eat,  or if needed for protection. We got that stuff stowed and
were on our way once  more with one passenger more than we had started with
when we left the  mine.
