"No touch! No touch!" she yelled.
Taylor pulled his arm back, staring at Twinkles incredulously.
"That's my -"
"No touch!" she screamed.
Of course, everyone else in the tour bus had heard her cries.
"What's going on Tay?" Walker asked.
"I have no idea. I was just going to pick up my drink and she started yelling at me," replied the stunned Taylor.
"Hey, Ripples!" called Zac. "What's wrong with your girlfriend?"
"Nuffin' wrong with Twinky," Ripples replied. "Everyfing dandy."
"Ok... why's she getting upset with me wanting my glass of water?"
"Larvae in water."
They stared at the half-dragonfly.
"Did I hear right?" Diana asked. "Did he say larvae?"
"Yessie!" Ripples beamed. "Larvae in water, eggy-weggys on leaves. We have mighty baby insect people!"
"Leave 'lone!" Twinkles yelled.
"It's ok Twinkles," Jess said. "We didn't know. We'll leave your kids alone."
"No kids yet. Just larvae and eggy-weggys."
"Right, of course."
About then the bus stopped for dinner. Walker collected everyone's orders and he and the driver went to get the food. Those who were left stepped out for some fresh air.
"Hey, Tay."
"Yeah Ike?"
"Isn't that Trinity?"
"Umm, yeah, it is. I'm beginning to think we have a stalker."
And on that, he waved to her. Trinity noticed and walked over.
"Hey," she said.
"What you doing here?"
"Well, I am your liaison."
"Does that mean you get to stalk us?" Zac teased.
"Ha! I'm travelling with a group of Hanson fans. So I can't be seen talking to you, otherwise..."
"You're traveling with fans?"
"Yeah. Me and Rocky drive the bus."
