“—-to practice. Rehearsal. However you want to phrase it.”

Danny didn’t know how he wanted to phrase it. It wasn’t even his to phrase.

“How do you want to phrase it?”

She’s about two inches from macing him in the face when he steps back; she doesn’t like invasions of her person space, and carefully tries to regain her composure. 

“Well, er, Danny … .”

“… perhaps I should be on my way.”

[xcookiesandlizard]

“Where are you going?”

[thistimefeelsnew-deactivated201]

     “I’m sorry - do I know you?”

[xcookiesandlizard]

Danny looked very closely at the stranger so their noses almost bumped. She didn’t smell familiar. She really didn’t smell like anything he’d smelled before, but she also smelled like good intentions and friendship.

After a moment he sat back with a sunshine smile.

“Danny is Danny,” he said helpfully.

Two weeks drifted by since Angelique skipped out on Danny and Zuchinni, and her situation had gradually gotten worse. All in all, she likely would have been safer if she’d simply stayed, much more comfortable and more put together, but her fight or flight response had pushed her into ‘flight’ and she was gone the very night she met them after both of the odd young men had gone to sleep. She could only imagine what their reactions had been the following morning to see she wasn’t on their couch and about half the contents of the fridge were gone, but she imagined it for only a little while as she was more focused on getting away from the pesky loan sharks and government officials tailing her

Which brings the story back to current day: Angelique’s loans were quickly rising as the one who’d stolen her identity was still at large and she had no way to prove it. She’d considered calling the bank, asking to cancel her cards–but she didn’t have the numbers, and they likely had been notified to keep an eye out for her anyway, so putting herself on the radar seemed like a bad idea. And making the situation worse, old ties with some unsavory people back home in Seoul had caught up with her, thus putting her in an even tighter and more dangerous situation than before. In short, she was a fugitive on the run in every sense of the word.

And speaking of ‘run’, that is precisely what she’s doing. Frantically, Angelique sped down the sidewalk, cursing quietly and shouting at people to get out of her way as she sprinted away from the owner of the groceries she’d just taken. The girl hadn’t the faintest idea what was in the bag, but considering she hadn’t eaten in a day, she wasn’t in the place to be picky. It amazed her how uncaring city folk were–there she was, a thief, running with someone’s belongings and no one event attempted to stop her as the owner screamed after her. After a few more feet, Angelique turned the corner, finding herself in an alleyway that ended with a metal fence. Cat like, she scaled it and hopped over to the other end, which set her on the other side of the street and she hid away in the warehouse nearby. This was her ‘home’ for lack of a better word and the pace where she could safely dwell without being seen or noticed.

The little thief set her belongings down, then moved towards the back part of the warehouse where a mutlitude of pilfered clothes and belongings lay drying from their ‘wash’ (which wasn’t much more than rinsing things off with the help of a broken hydrant down the street). Quickly changing into a different outfit, Angelique pulled her hair up into a ponytail and set on her face a pair of glasses she’d stolen from somewhere, hopefully making herself look different enough from the grocery pilfering thief she’d been a little while ago. And then she left her warehouse again: After closing the door and setting the lock back in, she turned and found herself crashing directly into someone a bit taller than her and she fell back against the door, “Holy shi–Oh…I thought i’d gotten rid of you guys…”

Danny was running as fast as his legs could carry him. His breath short, his heart beating against his chest – he couldn’t stop now! They were right at his heels! His hands clutched the small glass box, microchip safely inside. He didn’t know what it was for, but they said they needed it for their invasion plan to succeed. And that was enough for Danny to know: grab it and run!

“Zucchini!” Danny almost tripped over his own feet as he called back to his friend a few paces behind. “This way!” With a skidding stumble he dashed into an alleyway – but it was blocked! “No no no-” sniff..... It smelled like... a friend... the trail led to- the fence! The fence as chain link! Yes!

In a split-second decision he bolted for the end of the alley. Holding the box in his mouth to free his hands, he clambered up and over the chain link fence as fast as he could. He cringed as the wire pressed into his hands, but there was no time to be in pain! With an awkward fall. barely recovered into a landing, he made it safely to the other side.  The scent was stronger...

“It smells safe! This way! This way!” Towards the safe place! Across the street! Just as he reached the other side of the street, he looked back to make sure Zucchini was following and -WHAM!

A person! A person wasn’t there a minute ago! Did she teleport? Did she come out the door? But that scent, it was right there! It was... her!

Danny blinked - stunned into momentary silence. Then remembered. That scent, that face, that voice... “Li!” That was her name! “There are bad people after us; we have to run!”

Luke nodded, “I’m fine, thank you. I’m glad you’re okay.” He smiled slightly now he knew the other was okay. “Tell me about yourself, Danny… If you don’t mind doing so?”

"I help people,” he said without  a second thought. “I used to be really smart, and I’m not now but... I can still help people. And Zucchini helps me.”

“Are you okay?” Luke asked, looking at the other with some concern. He smiled at him a little, “I hope you’re okay.”

At the question, his thoughts snapped back to the present. "Danny is okay.” His new friend looked worried. Danny didn’t know why. “Are you okay?”

“I’m sure Zucchini will come back, we’ll just wait,  okay?” Zucchini? Was that a nickname? Was Zucchini this girl’s boyfriend? Girlfriend? Either way… Ultana wrapped  her arm around the younger woman’s shoulders and took some  hair out of her face. She fished in her pocket for a handkerchief and offered it to Danny, then said:

“How about I go make you some tea? Tea makes everything better.”

“T-thyme tea... and... strawberries?” she sniffled out hopefully. Her fingers gripped the handkerchief. She didn’t know what to do with it, but it was comforting and kind, like a little blanket to keep her hands warm.

Liked smelt him again and hummed, “yes, I can smell dish soap, just. It’s not a bad thing or anything you smell - clean. Clean and… Warm, if I had to give it name. Although, I couldn’t tell you exact scents or anything,” he smiled.

“Danny smells... warm..."

‘Danny smells... warm. Warm and fresh.’ He remembered someone saying that once...  the words echoed in his mind, a girl’s voice from back home... home...

Luke smiled, “well, that’s nice to hear. A little odd, I’ll admit, but nice. I like to think myself a rather nice person so… I’m glad j smell like one.” Luke leaned a little closer to the other and sniffed. “Unfortunately, I don’t know if you smell like friendship or not. I’m sure you do though.”

When the man smelled him, Danny looked at him with newfound adoration. He spoke his language! But didn’t seem very good at telling scents apart. Humans didn’t have good noses. “Zucchini said I smell like dish soap once.”

“Well, I’m glad I smell good, I’d hate to find out I smelt less than,” Luke smiled. “I smell like friendship, hm? What does that smell like?” He asked with the raise of an eyebrow.

 “Like you wouldn’t ever hurt anyone good. You smell like baby lizards would be safe with you. Some people smell like danger and meanness, but you smell like safety and niceness.” Danny had met some very mean people on Earth, but he did not think this was one of them.

lukebrandonx:

“You really think so?” Luke blushed, “that’s so sweet, thank you..”

“You smell like spices and friendship. It’s a good smell.” The man acted like he’d never heard he smelled good before. Danny was surprised. Wasn’t it the first thing a person noticed?

Well this was splendid. He was a scientific advisor, not a babysitter. Yet the Brigadier had seen fit to charge him with looking after this boy who was apparently an alien when he was rather busy. It seemed that being unsure of whether the young fellow could be shot or not was too much for the men to handle. (That was not an entirely true thought, but he was rather irritated). “Would you kindly desist?” the Doctor snapped upon seeing his things being prodded and picked up. “This is very delicate scientific equipment, not toys for your entertainment. Now would you be so good as to tell me who you are and how you came to be on this planet?”

[xcookiesandlizard]

With surprised confusion, he abruptly stopped tugging at the cord on the machine and blinked at the man. He had upset him. Why was he upset? Danny didn’t mean to upset him. But before he could dwell on that question too long, the man brought up another inquiry all together to which Danny did have the answer! “Danny is Danny! I was on a ship and some bad things happened, but me and Zucchini escaped to Earth －Zucchini is the best in the universe!－ Then the men with green hats came. Danny was scared and turned into a lizard, but then they put me in a box and brought me here. I don’t know where Zucchini is... I hope he’s not lost. Maybe men in yellow hats or blue hats found him.” Earth was a strange and exciting new world. There were all kinds of hats to be found! One never knew what color would show up next!
