However, he would always sound excited with that voice. He asked Tom for his name. He (Tom) introduced himself. From there, the mayor said, "My name is Bill Stone." "Well, anyway, it is an honor to meet you Mr. mayor", replied Tom. "Don't call me Mr. mayor, just call me Bill", replied Mayor Stone. "Thank you", said Tom. "Now, what brings you over to my office today?" asked Mayor Stone.
"I am here to let you know that evil aliens are potentially going to invade planet Earth", answered Tom. "Now, that sounds crazy. You must be out of your mind to think of thoughts like that and, nevertheless, come to my office to share those thoughts with such a busy man like myself", replied the mayor. He then said, "I have to go to lunch right now." "No, this is important to me. I need to tell you why they are coming here, and what they are conniving", replied Tom.
"Come with me to the pizzeria down the block because that's where I'm going", said the mayor. "I have to talk to somebody regarding this.
But, I will meet you down there in about five minutes", replied Tom.
The mayor walked down to Tony's Pizzeria down the block from Town Hall. Meanwhile, Tom walked up to Light.
"Shapeshift into a robot", said Tom. "Okay, but, I have to send Will out of here", replied Light. He lifted up the hood which serves as a door and Will climbed out of the vehicle. Light shape shifted into a robot. The trio of fugitives walked down the block to the Tony's Pizzeria Restaurant. People started looking at the motley crew. The citizens of California County started to show skeptical looks at the trio. They are all shocked about the trio's appearances. Random people started to whisper their thoughts to each other about this motley trio. "Why is everyone telling secrets to each other?" asked Will. "Because, some people are new to this world like you guys for instance. Once they get to know you and Light, they will be very amicable to you." They arrived at the Pizza Restaurant in town. The pizza restaurant has fifteen tables. There aren't any booths in the restaurant. However, every single chair has two cushions. And, the legs and the back rest of the chairs are ornate. The restaurant is adorned with pictures of the Venetian Canals. And, the walls are adorned with bricks that are made of fiberglass. The other walls have yellow stucco paint. However, one wall has a mural that portrayed a day at Piazza San Marco Square in Venice, Italy. The trio of fugitives walked into the restaurant and met the matridee at his wooden podium. He glanced at the trio of fugitives. He then looked down and asked, "How many?" Will answered, "Four. We're planning to sit with the mayor." "Okay", replied the matridee.
He escorted them to the circular table where the mayor was sitting at. Tom sat down first, adjacent to the mayor. Then, Will, and Light. "Who are these two?" asked the mayor. "These two are Light and Will. Light is a shapeshifting robot. And, Will is an alien", answered Tom. "Is that the alien friend a dangerous one?" asked the mayor. "No, he's very gentle and kind hearted. He is an ally of humanity and man kind", answered Tom. "How about we order first and then, we have the meeting", replied that mayor. The waitress approached the table, and asked, "Are you three ready for me to take your order?" "No", answered Tom. "Anybody else ready to order?"
asked the waitress. "Please give us a little time. We just got here", answered the mayor. "I will be back in a couple of minutes", replied the waitress. She left the table and, the trio of fugitives as well as the mayor took glances at the menu and decided what their orders shall be. The waitress returned back to the table and, asked "Are you three ready to order?”
"Yes", answered the mayor. "What do you request to have?"
asked the waitress. "Garden Salad with Vinegar and a pepperoni and Garbage Style Pizza to split for the whole table", answered the mayor.
The waitress then asked the Tom, Will, and Light what their lunch request shall be. The three of them wanted their own individual Garden Salads. The waiter thanked the three of them for ordering their food and, she walked to the kitchen. "Mayor Stone, how many years have you been the mayor?" asked Tom. "About thirteen years", answered the mayor. "What did you do while in office?" asked Tom.
"I cracked my knuckles, dressed up as a clown, and played gold constantly. Life as a mayor of a small town is quite funny", answered the mayor. "Are you kidding me?" asked Will.
"Of course I am kidding. I hope you don't think I do these things whilst in office", answered the mayor. "I assumed that what you said was a joke", replied Will. "So, what do you do or have done while being in office?" asked Light. "If you notice all of the trees on the streets that you have driven on, that's 'cause of me. There was never a single tree in town until I became mayor thirteen years ago. It was all nothing but plain, gray colored sidewalks. Another, action that I took while in office was the conversion from coal electricity to solar and hydro energy. Now, the electricity is longer lasting because on every rooftop, there are solar panels and, the river adjacent to town is also our energy source. The third thing that I did was to expand the residential district. I added more houses that were predominantly Victorian style, Dutch Colonial style, and Side Hall Dutch Colonial style. Now, more than three thousand people live in this small town.
My future plan is to directly connect this small town to the rest of the world. I am planning on adding a transportation hub that connects to a small highway which connects to the interstate. However, it'll take me a while to get this plan approved because this proposed idea will have to go before multiple boards and receive approbation by every citizen in town", answered the mayor.
"I would like to live in this town. You turned this place into a utopia", replied Will. "Oh, I just started on my work. I still have four more terms to go", said the mayor. "So, you'll get a lot done around here", replied Light. "Of course, I have many future plans for this place." The waitress returned to the table with the food. There are four garden salads, and one garbage style pizza. This pizza has a large quantity of toppings. Among these toppings, are the common toppings such as pepperoni, tomato sauce, and cheese. However, there are some unique toppings like Broccoli, Chicken, Mushroom, and Basil.
They started to eat the pizza. Tom placed his pizza in the dish.
However, he then waved his hand over to the waitress. He asked her, "May I have a drink of soda?"
"Sure", answered the waitress. "What flavor is at your request?" "A delicious Sasparilla flavored drink", answered Tom. She brought over the beverage to the table and asked, "Are there any other requests from the table?" "No", answered Tom. The trio of fugitives and the mayor ate their lunch swiftly like a hungry Grizzly gobbling down Salmon. "So, tell me about the dangerous aliens coming to town", said the mayor. Tom told the mayor explicitly, "In another dimension, there is an alien city known as Starmos City, which has a dictator named Cornelius Von Alien, who is a tyrannical brute. He imprisoned the three of us when we didn't do anything illegal. He just didn't like us. We managed to escape prison and flee Starmos City. So, now he and his alien army's out to get the Earthlings in California County. I want you to warn your people that evil from an outside dimension is coming to invade Earth."
"What do you expect me to do?" asked the mayor. "Place posters in town alerting the citizens", answered Tom. "How many copies do you expect me to make?" asked the mayor. "As many as necessary. Post it on every telephone pole and every lamp post", answered Tom. "Very Brilliant idea", replied Will. "Whenever we have to notify our citizens, we put posters all over town. Did you do that in your city?" asked the mayor. "No, it is forbidden in our city.
We don't have any freedom. If we said anything or asked the government any questions regarding anything important, we would be jailed", answered Will. "Well, thank God that you're with us", replied the mayor. "I won't be with you guys for long", said Will. "Why not?"
asked the mayor. "Because, I will have to return back to my origin to stop Cornelius from invading Planet Earth", answered Will.
"Well, if you try and stop him or his militia, you will encounter serious problems. You will be punished beyond jail time.
You might get persecuted", replied the mayor. "I will do any
thing for my fellow citizens", said Will. "Even, if it will be the most risky and bold action that might result in serious consequences?" asked the mayor. "Like I said, I would do anything for my fellow citizens, even if it will be the worst consequence ever", answered Will.
The waitress returned to the table with the receipt. The amount of the lunch is at a total cost of forty five dollars, which does not include any tip. Mayor Stone is going to pay for the whole bill. "How much tip should I give the lovely waitress?", he asked. "About five bucks", answered Tom. "That sounds a little too cheap. Don't you think?" asked the mayor. "It is a fair tip", answered Tom.
"I would give her more of a tip of twenty dollars. That sounds very fair. Besides, this lady was the best waitress in the whole entire world", replied the mayor. The waitress returned to the table after she presented the party of four with the bill.
Mayor Stone put the tip adjacent to the bill and, she took the tip first and, placed it in her pocket. Followed by that she thanked them. And, returned back to the kitchen. The trio of fugitives and the mayor left the restaurant and returned back to Town Hall. They swiftly walked through the reception hall and into his office. He worked in a New York style office. He had an old heater by his two paned windows. On the top, his window is translucent. However, at eye height, his window is clearly transparent. He would open and close it with a six foot long metallic pole. He has an out-of-date computer which was built by the Tell Computer Company which ceased operations twenty five years ago. He has a polished wooden desk and a wooden chair with cushions. The polished wooden door has two square panels, and there are two chairs in front of his desk.
He has a library shelf that is a stacked with a large amount of books.
He sat down in his chair and Tom, Will, and Light sat in front of him.
"So, how will the posters be distributed in town?" asked Tom. "We will start in the municipal part of town. Next, we will make our move in the residential part of town. And, finally, the business part of town", answered the mayor.
"How long will this distribution take?" asked Tom. "About a week or two", answered the mayor. "One week is too long! By the time that happens, the evil aliens could have you as their hostiles. We need the posters to be distributed within the next hour or two", replied Tom. "Unfortunately, that's how long it takes for something from us to be distributed", said the mayor. "Is there any other way that you can actually distribute the posters?" asked Tom. "Yes", answered the mayor. "And, how would that be?" asked Light. "We will assign each of you to a different zone in town. That's how we shall do it, and that's how it will be", replied the mayor.
Chapter III: Distribution of the Public Service Posters in Town, The Delivery of Posters throughout the residential part of town
Assignment roles are being given to Tom, Will, and Light for the distribution of posters throughout town. The posters depict an alert symbol and the word ALERT in large capital letters. There are approximately seven thousand copies of the posters. Below the posters shows a portrayal of the face of Cornelius Von Alien. Beneath the picture of the tyrannical alien's face is a caption that provides a description of him. The caption states This is a picture of an evil man.
He doesn't look like any normal human being. He is an alien.
He is from Starmos City. And, he is the ruler of Starmos City, the alien city that is ruled by a dictator. This man is planning to ruin Earth. He plans to find three fugitives who didn't do anything wrong.
These three innocent fugitives are prisoners from Starmos City who were accused of treason against the tyranical alien and escape.
Also, the alien is a bias one because he doesn't like any Earthling and, he betrayed his former friend Light S. Cycle, who is a shapeshifter. And, he is also one of the three innocent fugitives.
However, if you see three fugitives fleeing town. Don't say anything because they are innocent. The evil leaders from Starmos City are guilty. They are planning to invade Earth to find these three fugitives and, the Starmos leaders discovered that they are in California County. Then, an advisory is shown below the poster. This advisory states that If a single citizen sees anything suspicious. Flee the town if you live by the woodlands. However, if you are living within the town and, not on its borders, then you are to close all windows, close the curtains, turn off all lights, and lock the doors. Retrieve plywood in your garage and require that each and every member of the household is to be assigned to a hiding closet.
A description of the three fugitives is also shown below this advisory. The three fugitives have a certain status, which describes their physical appearance, their full names, their origin, their age, their location, and their allies. The mayor is concluding his meeting with the trio of fugitives. "You guys will stay inside of this office while I have my secretary print the papers and make copies of the papers." The mayor walked out of his office. He is walking down the hallway to the reception hall where the receptionist works. He made a request for her to make seven thousand copies for a particular poster that the mayor printed out on his Tell Computer System.
At the end of the hallway is a copy room. The receptionist walked over to the copy room which has the look of any other ordinary copy room, with the only exception of there being a super futuristic copy machine. This copy machine is known as the Speedboy 3000. This machine has the capability of copying one thousand sheets per minute. And, it generally takes thirty five seconds for one sheet to be scanned, and then, the programmed duplication happens after a particular sheet is scanned. While the receptionist is duplicating the posters, the mayor started to head back to his office after having a quick drink in the waiting area. He arrived in his office.
"Did you three come to a conclusion regarding the distribution of the posters?" asked the mayor. "No, we thought about consulting you", answered Light. "Since, the three of you haven't made a decision yet, I guess I will make the decisions for you. But, before I make any considerations, Who knows town best?" asked the Mayor.
Tom raised his hand. "Tom, I will zone you two the residential part of town and the business part of town. Light, you will remain with Tom.
And, Will, you will remain in the municipal part of town", said the mayor. "Does anybody have any questions?" "I do", answered Will.
"What would that be?" asked Mayor Stone. "People will think that I am the enemy because I am an alien", answered Will. "I don't know about that", replied Mayor Stone.
"And, why would you say that?" asked Will. "Because, we can disguise you as a human being", answered Mayor Stone. "How would you do that?" asked Will. "There's a Halloween Store in Town. I can get you a guise at the store over there", answered Mayor Stone.
"Okay", replied Will. "Let's leave now." The trio of fugitives and the mayor departed from the Town Hall building and walked into the mayor's black caddy. His car is polished and it's constantly shining in the beautiful sun of California County. He is driving his car into the business part of town. Near the pizzeria in town is the Halloween World Store.
This store has black paper on its windows, which makes the store have a scary appearance. The fugitive trio and the mayor walked into the store and they walked near a motion detector that has a spider that would jump out at every person who passed by. The fake spider jumped at Tom. When the spider jumped out at him, he said, "Ooh, that thing is a nasty little creature. A young woman at the counter is dressed as a witch to show her Halloween spirit. Her skin is painted a lime green color and her hair is jet black and greasy. She is wearing a dark cloak and wearing a cone shaped hat with a circle on the bottom of the hat.
"Happy Halloween. I'll get you my pretty and your little guys too", said the clerk. She smiled after she said that line from the The D.T. Trilogy. She walked over to them and asked, "How may I help you?" "I need to find a disguise", answered the mayor. "What kind of a disguise do you want?" asked the clerk. "A human disguise", answered the mayor. "Aren't you a human?" asked the clerk. "The costume isn't for me. It's for my friend over here", answered the mayor. "You have
three friends. Which one are you talking about?"
asked the clerk.
"The green one. Will Von Alien", answered the mayor. The clerk is escorting them to the costume section which is adjacent to the Halloween decor section. There is an abundant amount of disguises in the Costume section of the store. The trio of fugitives, the mayor, and the clerk arrived at the Human costumes in that section of the store.
"Which costume would you like to wear?" asked the clerk. Featured in this section, are many human costumes of famous actors, former and incumbent politicians, and costumes of famous musicians. Will pointed to the costume that looked like Mayor Stone. "I think this costume requires some stuffing", said Tom. "Why would you think that?" asked the clerk.
"Because, look at Mayor Stone. He's the size of a whale", answered Tom. Light kicked Tom and said, "Shut up you fool." "Say, who are you calling a fool?" asked Tom. "You", answered Light.
While, Tom and Light are quarreling back and forth, Will and Mayor Stone are returning back to the front desk of the store to check out with the product. The product with the stuffing. After checking out, the two left the store. Tom and Light are still in a quarrel and the clerk walked to the back of the store and tried to stop them from bickering.
"Would you guys stop fighting?" asked the clerk.
They completely disregarded the question and they continued fighting. After that, she tried to stop the fight. And, that particular method didn't work. She didn't think twice about her next action. She gave a strong slap on both of their faces. "Hey, what the hell did you do that for?" asked Tom. "Because I wanted to stop you two from fighting. You two fight like girls", answered the clerk. "Aren't you a girl?" asked Tom. "No, I'm a young lady and, I don't fight like you two", answered the clerk. Laughter started to emerge from Tom and he then replied, "You're not a young lady. You're nothing but an old hag." "Did you just call me that?" asked the clerk. "Yes", answered Tom. "Well, for your information, I will let you know that I am only twenty five years", replied the clerk.
