Chapter 14 - Finale Part 2

Togata arrives at his room and plummets unto his bed. ''Tick, Projects?''. Togata asks. ''Done, young master''. Tick replies. ''Aliens?''. Togata asks. ''Done again, although this won't be the last time we deal with them''. Tick replies.

''Yeah.. Tick can I ask you something?''. Togata asks. ''Go ahead''. Tick replies. ''Space is big, and we might never find the alien that we're looking for... and I'm hoping we never will, because I want you to stay with me. If we find him.. Please don't leave me''. Togata asks.

Tick begins to cry. ''I will be honest young master, you've stolen my heart, I would never serve anyone other than you! and... I thought you would never ask young master Togata!''. Tick fake cries dramatically. Togata gets up energetically and smiles then runs to hug Tick. ''You're the best Tick''. Togata says. Tick wipes away his fake tears.

''Tick you look different I didn't notice''. Togata says. ''Yes, I have been freed from my vengefulness, I feel like a new ghost!''. Tick says. ''I like this version of you better''. Togata says. ''I like it much better too''. Tick replies.

''Now that that's settled, I can't wait to see you graduate!! get your first girlfriend! OHH! I must teach you advanced chivalry! you must be as charming as possible!''. Togata smiles ''Don't be dramatic Tick''. Togata says.

''Eh ehm, Of course young master, well then I know you're tired but, we do not know when we could be attacked again, the aliens might call for reinforcements, so I must teach you to use my powers as well as I can, not to mention the issue of Mr Campbell being an alien, how will we explain his sudden disappearance?''. Tick asks. ''Hmm I have an Idea about the second, but the first, I... kinda don't want to use your powers they hurt''. Togata replies.

''HUH!!''. Tick gasps. ''Young master Togata, that is only because you are so young and it was your first time! As you train and grow older your body will get used to the physical exertion, trust me''. Tick explains. ''And your proficiency in your soccer club will help''. Tick continues

''Of course I do''. Togata replies. ''And what were those aliens talking about.. Banana organs, what did they mean?''. Togata asks. ''IN DUE TIME! Young master Togata, I will explain when you're older''. Tick replies.

''Tick?''. Togata asks. ''Yes young master?''. Tick replies. ''Can we continue protecting people from aliens?''. Togata asks. ''Of course! that is what gentlemen as ourselves must do! Not to mention other vengeful spirits!''. Tick exclaims. ''Yeah!! Can we start training right now!''. Togata says excitedly. 

''Of course now drop and give me 20 pushups young master!''. Tick says. ''Yes sir!''. Togata says as he bends down struggling to do it.

The next day Togata wakes up and brushes his teeth while Tick waits with breakfast already made. ''Good Morning young master''. Tick says. ''Morning Tick''. Togata says as he takes the food. ''I've organized your schedule, reviewed your projects and set up a training regime!''. Tick exclaims proudly. ''Tick.. You don't have to do all that for me''. Togata says. ''NO! I must! It is my pleasure!". Tick says ''And if you refuse I will take offence!". Tick continues.

''Thanks Tick''. Togata says smiling.

Togata walks down the halls heading to his classes getting looks as people gossip about him in the hallways. ''Gossip, we're used to it''. Togata says. ''Ahh yes but it seems to be good gossip this time, rather admiration!''. Tick says.

The triplets stand in front of him. ''Toriyama I know there's something up with you and that ghost!''. Triplet 1 says. ''We will expose you!''. Triplet 2 says. ''Remind you of anyone Tick?''. Togata asks sarcastically. ''Yes do you suppose they are aliens as well?''. Tick replies.

''No they are to dumb to be aliens''. Togata replies laughing to himself. ''Oh young master Togata manners!''. Tick says laughing as well. ''What's so funny kid!?''. The third triplet asks Togata. ''Don't think just cause you're in the same grade as us that you can take us lightly! Don't forget we're older''. The first triplet says.

''And stronger''. The second triplet says cracking his knuckles. ''Forgive me young master''. Tick says. Suddenly time seems to freeze and only Togata and the triplets are moving. Tick exits Togata's body and shapeshifts into a big scary apparition.

''You brats! If you ever speak to the young master again I will skin you alive and boil your bones!''. Tick says as he re-enters Togata's body and time goes back to normal. Suddenly one of the triplets starts crying, the other pees his pants in the hallway and one just stares.

''What the hell! That kid is peeing!''. All the kids in the hallway notice and start laughing. Togata laughs as well as he walks away, his hair turning almost completely white. ''Tick?''. Togata asks. ''Yes young master, are you angry with me?''. Tick replies. 

''No, you're the best''. Togata replies. ''Thank you young master!''. Tick replies. ''Although, now we need a refill on life force energy, you barely paused time for 10 seconds, why did it take so much anyway''. Togata asks touching his hair and pulling it to his face to check.

''Well from my research, as time flows forward resistance to that cause there to be a need of more time energy to counteract it''. Tick explains. ''Oh then I won't be using that much then''. Togata says.

''Excellent assumption young master''. Tick replies

After classes Togata heads back to his room. ''Tick?''. Togata asks. Tick materializes into the room. ''Yes young master?''. Tick replies. ''Where were you?, I thought you were with me in chemistry class but you weren't there''. Togata asks. ''Well I went to the library to get these''. Tick says as he places books on the table.

''Books on martial arts, and the supernatural, lets call them your extracurriculars, I understand my powers but not fully, not to mention we need to find an alternative to replenishing our life force''. Tick says. ''Oh, please don't leave me like that''. Togata says. 

''Oh do not fear young master, if ever you need me just call my name 3 times, It will summon me, I am a ghost after all''. Tick says.

''Tick, Tick, Tick''. Togata calls quickly. Suddenly Tick appears beside him, and Togata laughs ''Although do not abuse it''. Tick says smiling.

''Well then lets start shall we?''. Togata says. ''Of course! I will make us some beverages, Tea or coffee?''. Tick asks. ''Coffee I'll need it, but make it sweet''. Togata says. ''Of course, I try a special blend I was trying to perfect back in my day!''. Tick replies as he flies off to the school cafeteria.

''Don't get caught Tick''. Togata warns.

When Tick gets back he places the coffee on the table. ''My special recipe, Although back in my time coffee was not quite popular I experimented on a way to let it reach the hieghts of tea!''. Tick exclaims. ''Bias''. Togata jokes as he takes a drink. ''Woah it's sweet what's in this?''. Togata asks.

''Coffee with a twist, cocoa, I believe now it's called chocolate! And it is much sweeter than in my time''. Tick exclaims proudly. ''I'm pretty sure this already exists''. Togata says laughing. ''Hmmph, well it's my recipe I made it first!''. Tick says.

Suddenly Togata takes a big sip as he reads and his hair turns a bit more blue. ''OH MY!, Young master Togata! Your hair!''. Tick shouts. ''What?''. Togata says as he looks into the mirror.

His hair turns more blue. ''OH MY GOD!". Togata and Tick say in Unison
