"How about I tell you later", answered Will. "Okay", replied Jack. The two hiked quickly through the woodlands and, they made it to the placid pond. When they made it to the pond, the noticed Light, who was sitting on a gigantic boulder. "So, where's Tom?" asked Will.
"Frankly, I really don't know. I last saw him swimming into the pond vanishing into the misty fog. He's probably still in the lake", answered Light. The fox dropped the fish and asked the shapeshifting robot, if he would like to come over and eat at the abode. Light accepted the offer. And, all three of them walked to the fox's abode. "So, what are you doing at the lake?" asked Will "I was just sitting here waiting for you", answered Light.
"Okay", replied Will. They continued walking through the woods in a single file, with the benevolent alien holding the salmon, the fox leading the way, and Light falling behind to the point where Will and the fox started to vanish in the dense forest. The shapeshifting robot has to put on his infared specs. These specs look like typical sun glasses. Yet, it is so unique. Light started to wear the glasses. From there, he noticed movement by the valley. He ran over to the valley and, there are a couple of three foot drops leading into this gap. The shapeshifting robot managed to catch up with both Will and Jack.
"Oh my God, you move so fast", said the shapeshifting robot.
"Well, maybe, you move too slow", replied Will. The fox knocked on a small three foot tall door. Mrs. Woodston, Jack's wife opened the door. Standing behind the door, she asked, "Who is it?" "It's me honey", answered Jack. "Okay", replied the female fox. She opened the Treebark door. She is short and thin. She is currently apron. She is wearing a polka dot bow and, she has a very lovable and genuine attitude. She asked for all of the names of the guests. Light and Will gave their names to Mrs. Woodston.
From there, she welcomed the two guests into the home. The fox comfortably walked into the home. However, the other two guests are struggling to enter. They have to crawl on their elbows and kneecaps like soldiers in a military drill in order to get into the home.
After two minutes of struggling their way into the home, they managed to get in. Despite having a three foot door entry, they managed to enter the abode. When Tom and Light arrived in the home, they felt mind boggled, impressed, and stunned. This home is unique in every way, shape, and form. When one walks into the abode, they encounter a living room. Since this house is an abandoned cave, every room has to be separated by walls of dirt. The couches are made of leaves and sticks. And, the television lies on the stone floor.
There are stalagmites throughout the abode and, some of these peculiar rock formations are used as furniture pieces. The lamps are also quite bizarre and anachronistic. These lamps shine brightly in the house but, yet, they depended on oil. The floors are cold and hard like the floors of a penitentiary.
However, the floors have natural, ornate designs. "So, what do you think of the living room?" asked Mrs. Woodston. "I've never been in such an amazing place. This room is so unexpected because the first impression would never make me think that this house was this huge", answered Light. "Thank you", replied Mrs. Woodston. "You're very welcome", said Light. "There's much more for you and your friends to see", replied the female fox. All of the folks in the home started to walk out of the living room.
Followed by that, they walked into the kitchen. The kitchen and dining area are below sea level. Everyone, presently in the home, walked down stairs made of gigantic pieces of shale rock. These stairs are extremely unsafe because there is no railing present by the stairs.
Everyone managed to walk down the stairs safely, eventually making it into the kitchen and dining area. The height of the ceilings in this gigantic room reached a staggering forty feet tall. This gigantic room features over sixteen oil lamps, which brought plenty of light to the area. Along with that, there are three firepits in the room.
Two are used on daily and nightly basis. However, the other fire place would only be used during the winter season. The primary fire place is used to heat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The secondary fire place is used once a week to decimate the remainder of a meal.
And, the tertiary fireplace is often used only to heat the house during the cold seasons. The primary and secondary fire places are used on a daily and nightly basis. The dining table also has a unique appearance.
The table is a lowlying, traditional Japanese style dinner table. The guests and homeowners would sit on cushions for comfort.
Another, unique feature about this dining table is that the table is made of the same stone that is featured in the structure of the stairs.
The table set has an odd setup. The napkins are made of papyrus and the drinking devices are made of clay pottery. The two hundred year old, two pronged forks have a new appearance and, they had been placed behind the clay cups. There are metallic, hexagon shaped dishes that were placed behind the cup and the fork. There weren't any spoons, nor knives, or bowls. There weren't any closets to store any food. Whereas, the two foxes would have to go hunting and gathering every morning, aftternoon, and evening.
Predominantly, Mr. Woodston would have to gather and hunt for three meals per day. After that daily task has been completed, his wife would cook the three meals. Will, Light, and Mr. Woodston sat at the small shale stone dining table. It is easy for the fox to sit down.
However, it was tricky for Will and Light to sit down. They are struggling to fit their legs underneath the table. Eating at this table caused an uncomfortable feeling. The knees and shins felt like they were almost crushed by the heavy nine ton shale. While, the gentle fox, the amicable robot, and the benevolent alien were sitting at the table, the female fox walked up to the primary firepit.
A boiling pot is being used above the firepit. Tightly holding her paws on the hot pot, she walked to the secondary firepit, which is currently being used to burn the food scraps. Since, she is going to fully manage the primary firepit, a house fire would not have taken place because she is very stable and agile with her paws. "Jack, can you come over here?" asked Mrs. Woodston. "Sure", answered Jack.
He walked up to his wife and asked her, "What exactly do you need?"
"A gigantic skewer and a butchering knife", answered the female fox.
Down the left hallway on the first room to the right is the kitchen pantry. This pantry features three meshes in one basket. These three meshes filtered all of the water in the buckets. The top shelf features the pots and pans, which were made of clay.
Below that shelf were hatchets used for butchering the dinner.
Also, featured on the knife shelf are a bunch of skewers. The fox retrieved on gigantic, thirty six inch long skewer and, he also retrieved two pylons to support the skewer. It is extremely dangerous for him to carry the long skewer and support pylons at once because the support pylons are sharp. Carrying, the skewer, he ran into the kitchen and he gave the skewer to his wife. From there, he returned to the pantry to carry the two pylons to Mrs. Woodston. Standing by the pantry, he required help to carry the pylons. "Will, would you mind coming over here?" asked Jack. "Sure", answered the benevolent and chivalrous alien. He walked up to the male fox and retrieved the twenty fourth inch tall support pylons. After, retrieving the support pylons, he walked up to Mrs. Wooston and, he gave her the pylons.
After giving her the pylons, he returned to the table.
Jack then walked up to her with the butcher knife and, then he retrieved the raw dinner that is at the table. From there, he placed the fish on the counter and, his wife butchered the fifteen pound meal.
After quickly butchering the meal, he grabbed the scraps and tossed them into the secondary firepit. The skinned salmon was then impaled in the skewer. The cooking was complete fifteen minutes later. The delicious dinner has been placed on a clay tray and, brought over to the table. "So, what do you think?" she asked. "It smells great", answered Will. "I could assure you that it's better than what they're eating out there", said Light.
"Who are you talking about?" asked Mrs. Woodston
.
"Evacuees", answered Light. "What happened?" asked Mrs.
Woodston. "We were forced to evacuate the town", answered Will.
"And, why would that take place?" asked the female fox. "This is what happened, we were in an alien city called Starmos City, which was an alien. Myself and Tom, a friend of mine, visited the Alien Estate. Cornelius Von Alien, a longtime friend of mine and the ruler of the city, welcome myself and Tom into the home. We toured the estate. Then, we walked into the conference hall. Due to the fact that I am a shapeshifting robot, it is hard for me to walk up and down stairs.
I asked him to turn the stairs into a ramp. He refused to do that. I started to walk down the stairs and, as I was walking down, he deliberately tripped me. My friend was infuriated so, he decided to beat up Cornelius. My friend carried my unconscious soul up into the dining room, which looked extravagant. The chandelier was beautiful and everything was nice in this room. I eventually woke up and, I noticed Cornelius was trying to poison my food with arsenic. That was when our friendship ended and, that was the beginning of an enemy relationship. Will, the one sitting next to me, put kerosene in my food, which exploded the oven. Cornelius became livid with the chef. Will walked into the dining room where Tom and I were sitting.
He advised me not to consume any of the foods. He gave a good dessert for us. But, he adulterated Cornelius's dessert with the poisonous arsenic. After poisoning Cornelius's meal, Tom and I along with the chef started to walk out of the estate. All of a sudden we were stopped by the royal guards of the Alien Estate. We were shackled and tossed into a pitch black room. This was an attempt to deprive our senses. After the sensory deprivation attempt, we were taken to the Royal Court and we were read the charges of treason and attempted murder and we were sentenced to life in the hole without parole", answered Light. "Can I continue to tell the story?" asked Will.
"Sure", answered Mrs. Woodston. "So, Tom and Light were forced to go to the hole as well as myself. However, as I was being escorted to the hole, I managed to break free of the shackles. I ran through the gate and I stayed at a luxurious hotel in the city known as the Star Hotel. News Reports were all over the air about me and, about my escape from the estate. From there, I returned to the estate, punching out one of the guards and, drowning another. I then freed Tom and Light from the hole. And, we met this prosecutor Jacqueline Langyaw, who made a show about us. I, along with Tom and Light, visited her RV and we ate dinner with her. From there, she found out that we were the three perpetrators. We ran out of her van before she can turn us in. Then, we had another ordeal. Light was running out of fuel. So, we had to refuel him and, keep an extremely low profile.
Luckily, we weren't caught. From there, we had a third obstacle. The Starmos militia officers were searching every vehicle that left the city.
We were shaking in nervousness because our vehicle was being searched. Luckily, we managed to leave the city. Then comes the fourth ordeal. Now, the prosecutor wants to commit a raid on the county of Tom's origin because, somehow, some way, somewhere, she found out where we were going to seek refuge. And, that was California County, New York. From there, we escaped to Earth and we met Mayor Stone, the mayor of the county. We distributed flyers to all of the citizens of the county and, walked up to the Town Square where the mayor presented his evacuation speech. After presenting his speech, every citizen raided the stores and restaurants to fulfill the provisions of the twenty four hour evacuation. We evacuated into the woodlands over to the placid pond. And, that was where we met your husband. The mayor thought your husband was very condescending.
But, later, Mayor Stone realized that your husband needed help fishing for dinner. Unfortunately, the mayor fell into a creek and drowned. Light carried the mayor to a local campsite while, your husband and I fished. That was where we got the Sockeye Salmon for dinner tonight. And, here we are today", said Will. "What an interesting story. But, I have one question", replied Mrs. Woodston.
"And, what would that be?" asked Will. "I would like to know how Light can be a vehicle when he is really a robot", she answered.
"He's a shapeshifting robot, which means that he can easily change from a robot to a Light Speed Cycle. That's why his name is simply 'Light.' Granted, the name Light is a short name. However, the name is quite interesting", replied Will. "And, why would that be?" asked Mrs. Woodston.
"Because, when he shapeshifts into a vehicle, he breaks the speed of Light. He travels at the maximum speeds at mach one thousand, which will never be a possible vehicular speed on Planet Earth. The Earthlings unfortunately do not have the resources to create an impressive shapeshifting vehicle like Light"", answered Will. "Thank you for those kind words", replied Light. "No problem", said Will.
Chapter VI: Part of the stay at the House of the Foxes, The "real" Mrs. Woodston
It is now seven thirty in the evening at the abode of the foxes.
Light and Will are the visitors and Jack Woodston and Mrs. Woodston are the owners of this interesting abode. After Light and Will told their stories about the incident in Starmos City, everybody sat down and started to eat the well-cooked Sockeye Salmon dinner. This is a very dull meal with just three huge slices of Salmon in everybody's dishes. The food seemed to be substantial but, it's still as dull as could be because the portions in everyone's dishes are the plain slices of Salmon. It's a silent dinner when everyone is eating and kneeling on the cushions at the shale stone table. Every ravenous soul finished their oversized portions immediately within five minutes. And, everyone finished their mugs of Sasparillas and Water. After eating the oversized portions of their meal like ravenous bulldogs and drinking their Sasparillas and Water like frogs soaking in moisture, it is time to have some of the chatter.
Or, what they like to call talk time. Due to the fact that it is hard to get the television to work, the foxes would often have to entertain themselves. They would often use jokes and humor at the table after they ate. So, today they had an interesting joke, probably one of the tackiest jokes in the whole wide world. Silence has been happening at the table for five minutes. However, Jack broke the silence. After everyone finished eating their dinner, Jack decided to make a hilarious joke.
"What does the fox say?", he asked jokingly. "I don't get it", answered Will. "Ring, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding", answered the Fox. "That is the most idiotic and stupid joke that I have ever heard come out of somebody's mouth", replied Will. "I know it sounds quite stupid. It's supposed to be stupid .It's what you call corny and ridiculous humor. That's how we all should be like. Instead of finding slanderous remarks to be humor. Find that humorous, which would be the safer game", said Jack. "Oh, ha, ha, ha", replied Light sarcastically. Mrs. Woodston also said sarcastically, "Oh yeah, that is so, so funny. I am filled with so much laughter." "Well, I am glad that you think what I said was funny", replied Jack. "Oh, we found what you said to be so hilarious. We are laughing so hard that our laugh boxes in our stomach will burst", said Light sarcastically. "Yeah, I don't think that you have any laugh boxes", replied the Fox. "No, we don't", said Will. "So, what do you really think of my joke?" asked Jack. "Do you want me to be honest with you?" asked Will. "Yes, be all out honest as much as you can be”, answered Jack.
"I think that your jokes are stupid and annoying", replied Will. "Your jokes don't even qualify for a circus, stand-up comedy or even slapstick humor. I don't think that they're even funny." "Well, why do you think they're not funny when you all were laughing?"
asked Jack. "Because, I am sure there's such a thing that is what you call sarcasm", answered Mrs. Woodston. "Okay, well, I guess I have to say two important words", replied Jack. "And, what would that be?" asked Light. "I am sorry and I don't give a crap about your stupid opinion. Besides, it's my opinion that counts and, I don't have the problem, you all have the problem", answered Jack.
"Let's forget about the comedy hour and let's watch some news inside. Do you all agree with this?" asked Mrs. Woodston."Yes", answered everyone excep
t for Jack. "Is there something wrong, Jack?" asked Mrs. Woodston. "Yes, I don't agree with your idea of watching the news. Frankly, I would rather have the comedy hour instead of listening to the boring news", answered Jack. "Yeah, well, your opinion doesn't count", replied Mrs. Woodston abruptly. "It does too. I live here too. I discovered this place. I built this place up from stone. And, this place looks way nicer than your crazy head", said Jack angrily. "First of all, my head is not crazy. Your head is more crazy than anyone's head. You want these guests to sit in a boring comedy hour. I want to make them more aware of the world", replied Mrs. Woodston. Jack Woodston broke out in tremendous anger. His British accent has really been a hoax. He just used this particular British accent to make him sound so refined.
"You are not trying to make these folks aware of the world.
You're trying to poison their minds with the evils and malevolence of the real world. You are trying to show them the evil side of the world.
I am trying to show them the good side of the world", said Jack angrily. "Well, you're sure boring them. At least you've made me very bored out of my mind", replied Mrs. Woodston. "Both of you, cut it out", yelled Will. "No", said the Woodstons. "Who are you to tell us to stop fighting?" asked Jack. "I am Will Von Alien", answered Will.
Mrs. Woodston walked over to the kitchen pantry to retrieve a small broom. After doing that, she returned to the stove. "Will, would you mind coming over here for a second or two?" asked Mrs. Woodston.
"Yeah", answered Will. "Okay, good."
He walked up to her. She started to beat him with the broom.
As she beat him with the broom, she called him a disgusting alien and ridiculed him about his origin. She stopped beating him with the broom. He felt very weak with bruises all over his body. "You are a disgusting beast who is trying to destroy Planet Earth. You and all of those other despicable bilgerats are going to hurt all of man", she said.
