I walk Noah over behind his desk. He groans as I slowly lower him, and tries his best to help. I step around the desk to the first aid kit hanging over the dresser set.Walking back behind the desk and sitting down on my knees in front of him, I put the box on the desk and open it, as I get out the small bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide and bandage wraps I feel him staring at me.
"Start talking." I pour some peroxide onto bandage wrap.
He sighs.
"Ok, first the gun I had...It wasn"t from this planet." I stop wrapping his right hand and look up at him. As soon as I do he blushes intensely and looks away.
He must think I"m an idiot.
I sigh, I don"t think you"re an idiot.
He looks back down at me with a shocked expression as I give him a rea.s.suring look.
Beginning to wrap his hand again, he continues.
"I an alien slayer. I kill aliens that attempt to invade earth...." He pauses giving me time to register what he just said. "...and also your childhood best friend."
Wow, just wow. I shake my head in disbelief
"I don"t expect you to believe me but it"s the truth."
"I have no reason not to believe you, especially after all that"s happened in the last hour."
I start wrapping his shin now, tears threatening to fall as I comprehend his condition.
" What time is it?"
"Um..." He looks at the clock on his desk. "3:00 pm"
"Tell me more. How did we get here? How do we get back home? What"s with the Disney characters?"
"Ok well, I brought us here using a portal, and to get back home you can either drive for 2 days or use another--."
"Portal!" I don"t even let him finish.
"Ok..." He chuckles.
"There"s no way I"m sitting in a car for 2 days with 12 Disney characters," I whisper so that they can"t hear me from outside.
"So you agree to take care of the characters." He whispers back mocking me.
I didn"t say that. I glare.
He chuckles but then jolts in pain.
"Ok, you need to stop." I get up, finished with his shin, a little angry at his arrogance.
Then I move to his right side to wrap his forearm.
"I can"t help it, this is the first time we"ve spoken to each other since..."
He trails off, I once again stop wrapping and look up at him confused.
"Since what?"
"Uh...nothing, never mind."
"Ok..." I don"t plan on leaving it alone but for now, I will.
"Anyways, The Disney characters."
"Please explain, because I don"t want what just happened to happen again."
"Ok, well that alien that came in and attacked you..."
"Yeah?"
I finish his forearm, stand up and walk over to the box grabbing some band-aids.
"The alien shot his gun at you, but you ran and it missed."
"What does that have to do with anything?" I bend over and put a band-aid over the deep cut on his left eyebrow.
"Well, the slime or "alien ammo" didn"t miss the Disney toys you were playing with."
"I"m lost." I then bend down and pick up his hand, wrapping each knuckle with a band-aid.
You tried to fight back, I shake my head, Idiot.
Whatever.
I look up at him just as he rolls his eyes.
I had to do something.
"Anyways, along with killing aliens that attack earth, I also research their weapons and bodies so we have a better possibility of defeating them."
"Is this going somewhere?" I finish both his hands and sit criss-cross on the floor in front of him, looking up at him.
"Yes, while researching the other alien slayers and I found out that the aliens are able to do other things with their slime, other than kill humans."
"What"s that...?"
"Well, when the slime hits metal it causes the metal to heat up every time a human touches it." He pauses "When it hits wood, the wood immediately melts into liquid."
"And plastic?
"Well, plastic...it comes alive to fight alongside the aliens."
He pauses, once again letting what he just said settle in.
"Ok, so why the heck is the Disney characters with me instead of against me."
"That"s what I"m trying to figure out, they should not be trying to serve you."
"Ok, now you"re not making any sense. How did you know what I needed to say in order for them to listen."
"Doing research on the aliens" language, which is surprisingly French, we also found out that when they bring plastic to life to fight with them, they say "Je Vous ordonne d"arrêter" as an order."
Which means "I order you to stop".
Ah, you still remember your French.
Actually, I don"t know how I knew that.
Oh... Noah looks down disappointed
"Ok, Well... you need to figure out how to get rid of them because there"s no way I"m "Babysitting" 12, 18-year-old, modern-day Disney characters for the rest of my life" I get up, with the information I just received I know exactly what to do about my-hopefully- temporary followers.
"I"ll do my best, but for now, do you still want to go home?" Noah ask.
I contemplate going home, knowing that these 12 will follow me,
"Yeah, I"ll still go home." but I need to go to a familiar atmosphere to figure out what to do next.
"Are you sure, I don"t know how long it will take to figure this out."
I look at him, seeing worry, confusion, and concentration all in one expression.
"Yeah, I"m sure." I nod to rea.s.sure him.
"Ok, well here"s the portal, I should walk you out there and give you a proper goodbye..." He cringes in pain as he tries to get up.
I quickly get up "Woah, Woah, Woah You"re not leaving this spot until you"re better."
Smiling up at me, he hands me a tiny box that looks like the kind men use to propose.
"Wow, buy me dinner first." I joke.
"Maybe when this is all over." Noah chuckles.
What"s that supposed to mean

Uh...nothing, don"t worry about it.
"All you have to do is open the box in an open s.p.a.ce and a portal will come out of it. The portal will choose where to put itself, so you will either walk into it if it"s levitating or jump into it if it"s lying on the ground."
I examine the box carefully.
"I already have your destination on it, so all you"ll have to do is open it and go through."
"Thank you so much, Noah." I hug him, attentive of his wounds.
"Anything for my girl- uh - best friend."
"Wait, what?" I lean back from the hug.
"What?" He looks at me confused.
"I just thought I heard you say something else."
Noah shakes his head "Nah, you"re just tired and hearing things."
"I"m not crazy."
"Sure...."
I roll my eyes, let him go, and Begin walking towards the door.
"Oh, wait! Ethan!" I stop, startled by the sudden outburst from behind me. I turn around.
"Um..you can open the portal again, you know... if you ever want to come to visit." He blushes, not making eye contact.
I smile at his shyness "I"d love to."
He looks up shocked but relieved.
"Bye!" I call back behind me before walking out the door.
