Quantumino Bay: April the Fool

    "When do you think she will baack?" Val said. That was the thirteenth time that he had asked me in an hour. I was worried that he was going to keep asking for eternity. We'd only been locked up together for a week, but I was starting to feel like an even stiffer drink. I tugged at my red hair and bit my lower lip.
    "Val, I'm not sure if she is ever coming back." Then as I expected, he began to cry. I think finally he became aware that he was single. "There there."
    My warm comfort manifested itself as an explosion in the distance. "Always the ffirst oneto show up. "Were about to leave." Another explosive went off and the door to our cell block fell. Before it hit the ground, April slipped between the door and the frame and pushed the door back into place. She smiled at me as she thew a silvery powder onto the door. The powder melted the door to the frame in a sizzling flash of orange.
    "Foolish door," she said with a smirk.
    "Missed you April," I said as I blew her a kiss.
    "I missed you too Patty Cake!" She put her hand on the edge of my cell door and kissed me through the bars. " I can't believe they put you in this cell. You didn't even take that much.
    "I hate to the bearer of bad news, but I'd like to get out of this cell soon," I said.
    April stepped backwards away from my cell and smiled at me. "I figured that I would just let my caged bird sing."
    "This isn't the time from games," I said hesitantly.
    "Don't be foolish, it is always time for games," April said.
    "Are you serious?"
    "Not usually. I'm mostly April." She stood back and the entire front of my cell fell forward.
    "When..." April pressed her finger to my lips.
    "It is okay that you didnt notice! Let's roll!"
    Val pressed his face into the bars. "Are you going to leave me here?" His face looked sad, but I could hear Joel booming down the hall.
    "Sorry to break your heart!"
    April threw the silver powder to the wall and it melted the wall away in a flash. "Guess what," she said as she pulled me the the edge. It was the first time, I'd seen the drop from the prison to the ocean. It looked like a long fall. "It's the year of the dragon!" We jumped, and we fell a very short distance to a long red dragon that took us away.
    I expected Val to be angry, but instead he waved with just the tips of his fingers. "Bye," he whispered. Joel exploded through the door in a flash of anger. I could see him wave his fist angrily with his booming voice launching at us. "I'll get you both!"
