Chapter 14: Vacation

"Weeeis. C'mon it's time for dinner. You swam enough for today."

"Ok. I'm coming."

Weis stood up and ran to his mother. After toweling off, she took his hand and they walked home, with Weis talking about his swimming.

After reaching the courtyard, they saw Steel and Sengoku sitting there and drinking tea. They both had changed into slippers, shorts and Hawain shirts with sunglasses on top their noses.

Both mother and son, looked at the scene of pure vacation, then looked at each other and rolled their eyes.

'Typical dudes. No woman in sight, and they chillax like they care for nothing.', thought Weis shaking his head internally.

Sera walked to the door and said, :

"I'm going to start dinner, so in half an hour it will be ready."

"Aye, my love."

"Aye, sweetheart."

"Aye, mama.", came the answer from the 3 men.

Not expecting the third one, she looked back to see that Weis was lounging on his fathers lap, looking like he was there the whole time, relaxing in the sun with closed eyes.

Shaking her head she went inside.

The 3 men went on to relax in the evening sun, until it was time for dinner.

The dinner was more harmonious then Weis first imagined. His Grandpa was silent and only asked for something with a quiet voice. His father was the same as always, whereas his mother was also extremely quiet.

No shouting and no fighting. A truce was issued and enforced.

After dinner was his bedtime, and as he lay in bed he could hear the adults talk in the livingroom.

'Well, that was a suprise. Now let's see. The 4 questions remaining are right now as followed.

1. What year is it? ---Dunno

2. Does Gol D. Roger exist and did he make the One Piece speach? ---Dunno

3. Can I maybe get in contact with Terra? (Meditation?) ---Dunno

4. Try to not forget the important Names and Locations of the story. ---working on it

As I can see Grandpa, I can ask him the question about Gol D. Roger. But maybe, camouflage it with questions about pirates. Next is the year. Is it really important? Not really, since I can't remember anything about time. I only know that 800 years ago was the Void century. Ohara was 2 years after Roger died and the Marijoe incident happened 5 years after that. That's it for 1 and 2.'

Weis nodded his head, feeling satisfied he made progress.

'Now number 4 can be taken off the list. I tried my best and I'm confident I remember the story. Everything else is foggy already. No point in trying anymore. So that leaves number 3.'

Weis relaxed on his bed, calming his mind and trying to meditate and talk to Terra.

After 1 hour he still could get no result, so he gave up and lay down to sleep.

When Weis came to again it was already morning. He lazily looked around his room. On the left was the door. Next to it his wardrobe. On the other side was the window to the yard, white walls inbetween. The window had blue curtains, which covered the top half of the window. Looking outside he could see the morning sun rising, with the curtains slowly flowing with the warm breeze, breathing into the room.

Yawning he sat up, climbed out of bed and made his way to the bathroom.

After finishing his business, he took the small stool for the sink, while still rubbing his eyes. After standing on it he wanted to grab his toothbrush but his hands only grabbed air.

Confused Weis looked down and saw that the sink was further down than normal. Scratching his head, he stepped off the stool, and to his suprise he found he grew taller by 5 centimeter, so that he could reach the sink now without the stool.

He shrugged and brushed his teeth, while observing himself in the mirror. He really grew overnight. He had gotten a light tan after swimming practice, going well with his short black hair and heterochromatic eyes. After brushing he rinsed his mouth, smiling into the mirror, and nodded his head.

'Yep. Thank god for mama and papa looking good. I'm not gonna be so average looking this time. Gihihi.'

Weis quickly splashed water in his face, and after rubbing it with a towel, it was time for a new day.

Going through the hallway to the kitchen, he came by the livingroom, where he found his grandpa on the floor, looking like a buddha, sitting crosslegged and hands on his knees. When Weis looked at him, he opened his eyes and greeted him.

"Good morning, Weis."

"Good morning, grandpa. What are you doing?"

"I'm just meditating. Trying to relax and free myself of all troubles and worries, plaging my mind."

"Gihihi, I do that too. When I want to sleep in my bed or when I'm in the sea swimming.", chuckled Weis.

"No, I think what you mean... ah yes. It's the same.", nodded Sengoku after hesitating.

Weis knew he was misunderstood, but didn't correct him.

"Purru.Purru.Purru."

"Hm? God f... damnit. I said I was on vacation.", sighted the old man and waved at Weis to leave him.

Weis shrugged and went to the kitchen. There he saw his mother, with her back turned to him. humming a song and preparing breakfast.

"Good morning, mama."

"Good morning, son. Did you wash up?"

"Yes. Face and teeth.", reported a young soldier with utmost respect.

"Good. Wake up you father and grandpa, and then we can eat."

"Ok, but grandpa is already up. He got a call from work."

Hearing that Sera turned around, and her face looked like she ate a lemon.

"Hmpf. Whatever. Get your father. He has not changed a bit.", mumbled Sera the last part quietly.

"Ok."

After that Weis turned around instantly and ran out the kitchen, because some demon had descended in there and was performing some dark ritual, red juices flying up and around when the knife fell. Poor fruits.

'Scary.', was the only thought Weis had, as he fled.
