Alex had called Treble over to look at the finished motorcycle they built. He was getting excited, and he started moving the bike to its designated parking spot in the garage. He smiled and put the tarp over the bike. He looked toward the garage door, to find Treble walking up the drive. He walked over to Treble.

"Hey Treble! What's up!" Alex asked.

"Not much." He said in a low tone. Alex took this as strange at first, but he shrugged it off.

"Well, let me show you to the bike!" Alex said. He lead Treble to the bike with the tarp over it. "Prepare yourself...." He threw the tarp off. The bike was panted black with hot rod flames, it had a skull air intake and spikes protruding from the bolts holding the wheels on."FOR MY COCK!!! that's what I named it." Alex waited for a reaction, but there was none. Treble just sighed. "So? What do you think!?" Alex asked with a smile.

"It's nice, I guess." He said, his voice was void of any enthusiasm. Alex knew something was wrong now. Treble didn't laugh at his dick joke, or even seem to care about the bike HE helped to make.

"You alright man? Your not acting like yourself." Alex asked.

"Yeah, just having some issues is all." Treble said. "If that's all, then I'll see you later." Alex got to thinking.

'There's only one type of issues that could make him feel this bad, relationship issues. Unfortunately, I'm not good with those kinds of issues. THIS CALLS FOR DRASTIC MEASURES!!!' He thought. He pulled out his phone and dialed a number.

"Hey sunset, it's me Alex. I was wondering if you could write a message to twilight for me. I need something magical to be done." He said.

"O-k? Like what?" She asked.


"So your sure this will work?" Alex asked.

"Of course! Just a drop of that and your creation will be leaping off the page." Sunset said, handing him a strange liquid.

"If you say so..." Alex said. He went to his room and pulled out a set of typed up papers.

"May I ask what this is for?" Sunset asked.

"These pages contain the information for a character I made. Granted his powers aren't of my design, but his personality I made. Basically, if Treble wants to mope, I'll show him someone who has no reason to be happy what so ever." Alex said.

"So what's the characters name?"

"Jacob Carmichael. He's the host of a spirit of vengeance, or a Ghost rider for short." Alex said.

"Neat." Sunset said.

"Well, let's get this show on the road." Alex said. He put a drop of the liquid on a page, and the page started to glow a bright yellow. The two shielded their eyes from the intense light. The light faded and the two opened their eyes again. Standing before them, was a boy around their age. He had peachy white skin, green eyes and black hair. He wore a black leather trench coat that fell down to his ankles. His boots ended at the mid shin, and they had skull buckles running up the fronts of them. He also wore black jeans, shirt, gloves and a belt that had a skull buckle on it. The shoulders of the coat had inch long spikes sticking out of them, and the same could be said for the back sides of his gloves. He had a constant pissed off look on his face, and his hair was a mess. The boy looked around for a moment.

"Where am I?" He asked.

"It's ok, your safe. I summoned you here to help me with something." Alex said.

"Alright, I'll buy it. What do you need help with?" Jacob asked.

"My friend is in bad shape, so I want you to talk to him. We've tried, but he won't listen to us. But he'll listen to you." Alex said.

"How are you so sure?" Jacob asked.

"A hunch." Alex lied.

"Don't lie to me, bad things happen to those who lie to me." Jacob said. Alex sighed.

"Look, I created you ok. Not only did I create you and the universe you come from, but I also showed Treble. So please, I need your help." Alex said. Jacob thought for a moment.

"Alright, let's do this." Jacob said.

"Yes!" Alex cheered.

"I'll need my ride." Jacob said.

"Oh, I don't think you'll he to worry about that." Alex said. An engine roared two times from outside. They all walked down the stairs and out the front door, to reveal a black Harley Davidson Breakout with twelve inch mini apes. Jacob looked at the vehicle.

"Let's roll." He said.


Alex walked into the cafeteria, scanning around for Treble. After about a minute of looking he spotted him.

"Stay here until I give the signal." Alex said to Jacob. Jacob nodded and leaned against the door frame. Alex walked over to the table Treble was sitting at, and tried to start a conversation. "Hey treble, how's it goin?" Alex asked.

"I'm not in the mood asshole." Treble said flatly. Alex got very serious, and his left eye twitched. He hated being called names.

"I'm gonna let that one slide, because your going through a rough spot. but the next time you call me anything other than my name..." He turned Treble's head to look at him. "I'll kick your fucking teeth in." He said in a menacing tone. He backed off and calmed down.

"Jesus dude, where did that come from?" Treble asked, slightly shocked.

"Sorry, Years of being on the road teaches you to not take shit from anyone. Anyway, I have someone here who would like to meet you." Alex said. He signaled for Jacob.

"Oh great, another person to try and cheer me up. I don't need cheering up ok-" he stopped once he turned and saw who it was.

"Jacob Carmichael, meet Treble Mix. Treble Mix, Jacob Carmichael." Alex said.

"Is this some sort of joke? this is an actor you sent." Treble said flatly.

"Oh no, I'm no actor. He summoned me because he said you needed help. He also explained that he's my creator, so I'm kind of obligated to be here." Jacob said.

"Hey!" Alex said.

"So, what's got you down?" Jacob asked, his pissed look never wavering. Treble looked at Alex, then back to Jacob. He sighed.

"My girlfriend dumped me." He said with a sad tone. Jacob stood up.

"Your girlfriend dumped you? Your girlfriend dumped you?!" Jacob shouted. He punched a whole in the cafeteria wall, and leaned in close to Trebles face. "I have to deal with a demon inside me! It punches, kicks and stratches at my sanity everyday! It turns my skin into an organic torch! and to top it all off, I can't have friends or anyone close to me or it will kill them! So do you think you got it so rough now!?" Jacob shouted. Treble shook his head.

"Thats right. you could be in my situation, alone and afraid of the demon hiding underneath your skin. But your not, so enjoy what you have." Jacob said.

"Woah, Jacob, what was all that about?" Alex asked.

"Sorry, I just hate it when people think they have big problems, even though they are tiny compared to mine. Basically, I just can't stand the emo mentality." Jacob said.

"Ok? Well then. Treble, how are you feeling now?" Alex asked.

"Still feel like shit, now for two reasons instead of one." Treble said flatly.

"Dammit!" Alex said. Alex sighed and messaged his temples. "Alright Jacob, I'm giving you a choice here. I can either send you back to your world, our you can stay hear. Which would you preffer?"

"Well what do you think I'm going to choose? I have no friends, family or loved ones back in my world. So I think I might stick around for a bit and see how things go." Jacob said.

"Well, there's a plus Treble. We now have a spirit of Vengeance as a friend. Isn't that great?" Alex asked forcing a smile. Treble just sighed. Alex's smile faded and he facepalmed. Next Chapter: The great expedition. hanging out with friends part 1 Estimated time remaining: 44 Minutes
