The day was so full of events, and my emotions were flung all the way up and down so many times that I was extremely tender, and the sight of three friends waiting for me made me so touched that I almost teared up then!
A few seconds later, I burst out crying for real when Emma handed me a dinner box which I saw was full of…
"BACON!" I sobbed like a lost lamb finding his shepherd once more.
I received the dinner box from Emma with two trembling hands and with dramatic tears running down my cheeks.
Then, I promptly sat down in front of the bewildered crowd and reverently opened up the lid.
"Bacon…" I said in between my slowly subsiding sobs as I took in the glorious smell which made life so sweet and worth living.
"Bacon." I repeated the word once more as if to reassure myself that I was indeed holding the treasure of treasures.
And then I began to make friends with it.
"What have you done to him, Vice Principal?!" James demanded rather crossly at Jeanette after watching my sad monologue and overreaction in absolute shock.. "Did you break him or something?"
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ He was fully prepared and even expecting to get his academy credits deducted for "inappropriate speech and conduct to academy staff" when Jeanette's response shook him to the core.
"I am sorry. He… Might be a little bit high-strung and emotional for the next few days. Please take good care of him." Jeanette said gently to James and the wide-eyed Emma.
Emma was probably viciously thinking of a bunch of scathing comments and remarks to say to me when she heard Jeanette's response. She was so alarmed at her words that the lollipop actually fell down from her gaping mouth!
"Wh-what do you mean? He's not really broken is he?" Emma asked anxiously.
"Of course not!" Jeanette replied with a laugh. "He merely went through an emotional time where he discovered a lot about his true self. He'll be fine in a day or two. Just treat him as you would normally. And uhh… Especially you Emma, James and your grandfather. Make sure you three treat him EXTRA nice, ok?"
"Ok." Emma nodded.
"Give him lots of food. Lots of roast pork and ehm, bacon. He seems to like them alot." Jeanette added.
"Ok." Emma nodded again and then remained silent.
The four of them looked at me as I finished my last bite of the heavenly bacon and eggs and gulped down the orange juice in one go.
"Well." Jeanette said. "I guess I'll be going first. You kids take care. Don't be late for school next week."
"Yes, Vice Principal." All three responded quickly.
"See ya Vice Principal!" I quickly stood up and waved her goodbye.
Jeanette merely shook her head helplessly at me and left the auditorium.
I looked at Emma and James with a slight frown on my face.
The image of them attacking me and my parents was still vivid in my mind, and I found it really difficult to be in their presence.
But I forced myself to look them in the eyes and gave them a weak smile.
"You must be exhausted. Let's go home." James said with a sigh. "I hope you'll get well soon. And to make sure you recover at full speed, I won't be touching any of the bacon tomorrow morning. All of it is for you, alright?"
James was a generous, generous man. And to me at that moment, he was like a shining star of resplendent generosity. He was the very first person out of the four to regain normalcy in my mind.
That was the power of bacon among brothers!
"Alright." I nodded eagerly. "Let's go. Tes, are you going home with us?"
"I told grandpa about the incident in the entrance test. He asked us to bring her home with us for the time being." James explained.
"Ah ok. That's great!" I said and smiled at her.
Tes smiled back very lightly and followed us out of the auditorium.
Within seconds, we were seated comfortably in a cool looking Whitefrost Landjet and speeding back to the Whitefrost Estate.
We were having fun recounting my feat with the Longs and sipping on juice when suddenly, I felt my resonance tingling lightly.
At the same time, my instincts began to scream out "DANGER!!"
I did not hesitate.
"GET DOWN!" I roared out loudly and immediately unleashed a crude dome made up of mecha armor around us.
B O O O O O M M M ! ! !
A massive explosion rocked us a mere split second after the dome materialized.
"What's happening!!" James cried out in shock.
Emma cooly reached into her pocket and pressed a panic button that led straight to the Whitefrost HQ and the old man's personal communicator.
B A M M M ! ! !
A horrendously loud and powerful impact hit the dome once more.
"We're under attack. The enemy's spies and sleeper agents must be waiting for us." Emma replied calmly.
"The Whitefrost Alert 5 mechas would reach us in thirty seconds. Can you last for thirty seconds?" Emma asked me.
B O O O O O M M M ! ! !
B O O O O O M M M ! ! !
B O O O O O M M M ! ! !
Ear-splitting explosions continued to rock us.
I sensed the dome around us faltering lightly, and quickly reinforced the dome with more materials.
"I can." I replied calmly. "Sit tight and don't worry. Leave it to me."
"Good." Emma nodded.
Tes sat really still and maintained a tight grip on her emotions.
The only one panicking slightly was James, as he released a constant stream of curses as the enemy's attack on the dome grew more ferocious and desperate.
BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!BOOM!
The attacks came on relentlessly, and they even attacked the ground around the dome!
I quickly extended the dome to cover the growing hole that surrounded us.
"Should I attempt to break out by manifesting a white mecha?" I wondered.
