Toms p.o.v.

There's a bad storm coming to Dagrun.

The dark storm clouds hanging over Sonja's house was the first clue. The second was all of the cute little animals in her basement were going nuts. And the third and final clue was the hurricane-like wind blowing all throughout Dagrun.

Sonja came home a few hours after I started playing poker with Tucker and she said the wind was so strong it was blowing down trees. And that's a pretty concerning problem when Sonja's house is surrounded by trees. Tucker wants us to go to his place because it's safer. The walls prevented the place from getting hit by trees, so I guess that would be a safe place to go. I helped Sonja pack her bags and move her animals further down the basement. Moving the bunnies and the birds weren't a problem, but her horses were going insane and they were kicking in every direction they could.

This must be a bad storm.

We finally moved them all and packed up the rest of the bags. I sort of wanted to check on Sparklez, but I was still hurt over him. He's been trying to call me ever since I got to Sonja's but I've been ignoring him. If he wants Ianita over me, he can have her instead.

As we were carry the bags to the door, Tucker asked me about him. "Tom, you sure you don't wanna check with Jordan before you stay with us? This storm is probably gonna last awhile dude. He might get worried."

"Nah. He's got his daughter to look over. He won't be worried about me. Let's just go."

"I know you're mad at him, but at least text him and tell him where you're going." Sonja advised me.
I guess one text wouldn't hurt. I went downstairs to get the last bag and I turned on my communicator as I walked.

Thirteen missed calls from Sparklez. Wow.

I went to his contact and started writing a new message.

Sparklez. I'm going to Tucker's place for awhile until the storm rides out. Be careful at home. Trees are starting to fall over. Bye.

It was to the point, which is what I wanted. I sent it out and went back to packing the bags upstairs.

Jordan's p.o.v.

Sparklez. I'm going to Tucker's place for awhile until the storm rides out. Be careful at home. Trees are starting to blow over. Bye.

I groaned and ran my hands through my hair. That didn't help at all. At least I knew he was safe I guess. I wanted to go to Tucker's too, but I had a feeling he wouldn't want me there. I didn't want to be alone in this tree while a storm blew through. I hate storms. They make me so nervous. And being in a death trap like this tree isn't making me feel any better. If I had someone here with me, I might be okay. Mot told me it was a bad idea to come pick up Ianita in this weather, so I just stayed put.

I wish I had Tom to comfort me.

Why did I say that crap to him? I didn't have to choose. I could've just told him I loved the both of them equally, because that's the truth. I didn't love Ianita more than Tom. I wouldn't choose her over Tom. And I did, so now he's heart broken. I'm an idiot. That's what Tiff called me before she kicked me out of their house. Lola didn't say anything during that. She was probably mad at me too.

Thunder roared outside making me jump. I pulled the covers over my head further and clenched my eyes shut. I could go down in the basement I guess but it was dark and scary down there...

Another clap of thunder sounded, and it made my teeth chatter. I can't do this alone. I pressed Toms name on my communicator and listened to the dial tone. It rang and rang and rang. He wouldn't pick up. I felt like crying.

After a minute or two, it beeped letting me know I was leaving a voice mail. Maybe if I left him a voice message he might call back.

"Um Tom. I know you're mad and everything and I know I'm an idiot. I'm just...I'm really sorry. I would never love anyone more than you-" Another clap of thunder and I screamed a little. God why am I such a kid?

"Just please talk to me. I'm sorry and I'm so scared and I miss you. Please call me back." I ended the voice mail and sunk deeper into the bed covers. I hope he calls me back. It thundered again, making the floor vibrate and the bed. I couldn't do it anymore. I ran to the basement and took Toms blanket he made with me. I sat in the corner of the dark room with the cover wrapped tightly around me.

I'm never gonna make it through this storm alone.

Toms p.o.v.

"Alright, beer for the Dianitee and hot chocolate for m'lady." Tucker sat down a tray with drink on it and I happily took the beer.

"Oh god, I needed one of these." I began to chug the beer as Sonja slowly sipped on her hot chocolate.

"Easy there. You might get alcohol poisoning for drinking it that fast." Sonja laughed.

I was about to reply with a smart comment when my communicator beeped. I looked down to see what it was. Apparently Sparklez left me a voice message.

"You get voice mail?" Tucker asked as he drank his beer. He sat beside Sonja on the couch and wrapped an arm around her shoulder.

"Yeah. From Sparklez." I didn't know if I wanted to listen to it.

"Well? You gonna listen to it?" Sonja asked impatiently.

"Okay fine. I'll open it." I pressed the open button and waited for the voice mail to play back.

"Um Tom. I know you're mad and everything and I know I'm an idiot. I'm just...I'm really sorry. I would never love anyone more than you-" A huge clap of thunder sounded through and I heard him scream. It made my heart sink. I totally forgot. He's terrified of storms. He's a nervous wreck when they happen.

"Just please talk to me. I'm sorry and I'm so scared and I miss you. Please call me back." The message ended with a beep. He was scared and he was all alone in that tree. I shouldn't have left.

Sonja made a sad face. "Aw poor Jordan. He's scared of storms?"

"He's terrified of them. I forgot..." I groaned and ran my hand over my face.

"You wanna go get him?" Tucker asked."The storm isn't that bad right now. We could probably get back without a problem."

"Yeah. Let's go get him. I'm not leaving him there alone even if he was an ass to me."

Tucker went to put on his Mage armor and I slipped on a jacket from his closet. I was probably gonna get soaking wet anyway, but I didn't care. I just cared about getting Sparklez back here.

Before we left, Sonja gave us both a hug."Be careful you two. That wind is really bad."

"We will Sonj. Love you." He kissed her forehead lightly and she smiled.

"I love you too. Bye guys."

"This is way worse than I thought it was!" Tucker yelled through the rain as we flew. It was way worse. My wings were barely strong enough to fly in a straight direction without getting pushed away by the wind. Tucker was having trouble with his blood magic because the rain kept melting away his shadow clouds that he ran on in the air.

"I think were almost there! Just keep going straight!" I yelled back at him. He nodded and we continued to push through the rain and wind towards my tree.

I landed a mile away from the tree because I was getting tired of flying. I ran the rest of the way towards the house with Tucker following behind on his shadow clouds. I finally reached the door and pounded my fists on it as hard as I could. We needed to leave now before this storm got any worse.

A minute passed and the door remained closed. I knocked harder on it and Tucker went the the side of the tree to knock on the walls. "Sparklez! Answer the door!" I shouted. Thunder roared over head making Tucker and I both jump.

The door finally opened and a terrified nerd stood behind it. "T-Tom?" He asked in fear. He had the blanket I made for him wrapped around himself. That scared little nerd.

"We need to go. Get your stuff quickly. The worst of it hasn't come yet." I ushered him inside. He stopped in kitchen and hugged me tightly around the waist. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." His muffled voice apologized.

"Yeah yeah, I'm sorry too but we have to go. If the wind gets any worse we won't be able to get back." I pushed him towards the bed room and we began packing up a few things in some bags. I shoved clothes and a bunch of canned stuff inside my bag while Sparklez began to pack blankets and a few weapons.

"It won't fit..." He tried to shove the blanket I made him into the bag but it wouldn't go in.

I whistled into the hallway and soon enough a little chest with legs appeared. "Terrence eat the blanket." I told him. He scurried into the bedroom and ate the blanket Sparklez had in his hand.

"I keep forgetting he's here." Sparklez laughed quietly. "Oh wait!" He gasped. "I need to get Franklin!" He ran down into the basement and returned a few minutes later with a golden lasso in his hand. "Okay. I'm ready."

I strapped the bag over my shoulder and picked up Terrence. Sparklez followed behind with his bag and the knife I gave him. When I opened the door and left out of it, Sparklez stopped at the door way.

"Sparklez come on. We gotta go." I tugged his hand forward and he shook his head. He's scared.

"It's okay. I'll protect you. Nothing's gonna happen." I tried to assure him.

"Tom! We gotta go now! It's getting bad man!" I heard Tucker yell from outside.

Sparklez still wouldn't budge from the doorway.

"Look, if you don't go I'm staying. Do you want us both to get killed in this storm?"

He shook his head and sighed.

"Then come on. I'll be right beside you the whole time."

He finally stepped outside. I began to flap my wings and he did too. He started to fly into the sky where Tucker was already standing on his clouds and I followed from behind him. We followed the black clouds Tucker made below us so we wouldn't get lost. The wind had gotten even worse. I held on to Sparklez arm with my free hand so he wouldn't fall out of the sky.

When we finally reached the dojo walls, I thought I was gonna pass out. Tucker ran in and Sparklez followed while I stood outside trying to catch my breath.

"Tom! Come on!" I heard Sparklez yell over the thunder. I looked up from the ground for a moment and I noticed something really far away from the dojo. It was the reason why the wind was so bad. It was the reason we couldn't fly straight.

There was a tornado.

I didn't look at it too much, because I knew Sparklez would question what I was looking at. And if he saw a tornado, I knew he'd most definitely pass out from terror. I ran into the house and pulled him inside with me.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked when we finally got safely inside. He must have seen how scared I looked outside.

"Yeah. I'm okay. Just really tired."

And extremely terrified that a tornado is going to destroy Dagrun.

Tucker and Sonja slept together in Tucker bedroom while me and Sparklez shared a guest bedroom in the basement. We didn't sleep. Sparklez was shaking so badly the bed was moving and I was still thinking about that tornado. It must have passed Dagrun, because the dojo was still intact. But it still stormed horribly all throughout the night which made me a nervous wreck. Even Terrence was scared. He sat on the edge of our bed with the covers covering his lid. Poor little dude.

I didn't really try to comfort Sparklez. Things were still really tense between us. But at one point during the night, he started crying after a large wave of thunder shook the house, and I couldn't help it. I gathered him in my arms and covered us both up with his favorite blanket. I heard him whisper a thank you before going back to hugging my neck and shaking violently. I couldn't not love this nerd. Even if he broke my heart.

After a little while, the thunder started to ease up a bit. Sparklez stopped shaking but he didn't stop hugging me.

"You know, you're starting to break my neck." I joked.

I felt him ease up a little on my neck. "Sorry..."

"S'okay. I know you can't help it."

"Tom...why did you come back for me?"

"Like I'm not gonna come back and save my husband from getting killed? That tree was bound to fall at any minute. "

"But what I said...I thought you'd still be mad at me."

"I am still mad at you, but I wasn't gonna leave you scared to death by yourself. Unfortunately I still love you after you chose a damn-...after you chose her over me." Maybe I should refrain from insulting a kid.

"I'm sorry. I'd never love anyone else more than you, I promise. I just really love her Tom and I want you to love her too. I understand if you can't, but I want you to know she really loves you. When she woke up the night you left she asked where Uncle Tom was."

Uncle Tom. The nickname always made me feel old for some reason. But it was sweet, nonetheless.

"I can learn to like her, but I can't promise anything about love."

"That's good enough I guess. Thank you." He leaned up and kissed my cheek. I smiled and went for a kiss on the lips. He gladly followed in my actions and soon we were fully making out. But then it thundered again and he jumped fifty feet on the air, breaking the kiss. I laughed and pulled him close to my chest. "Come here, you scared little sausage."

"Shut up..." He pouted and cuddled back into me.
