" Aragon, honey, it's time for breakfast!" yelled Rose, a mother of 1 who is widowed. Aragon lazely walked down stairs in his old Ben 10 pajamas. Rose couldn't help but laugh at the sight. " It's not funny mom, the others are dirty." Aragon stated. Rose went back to eating her cereal but stopped again.

" You know you have a field trip to the White House today, right?" She asked. Aragon nodded. She went back to eating her cereal. Aragon opened the cupboard and grabbed a open Frosted Flakes box and poured several tiny flakes into his mouth.

"That's sick, Aragon! Use a bowl for pete's sake!" Rose shouted. Before she could say anymore, Aragon ran up to his room to get ready. She sighed heavily but continued to eat her cereal. Aragon wasn't really in the mood to go to the White House, even though his mom said it would " Memorable". He just didn't care. He wanted a rush, something to make his life less boring. As he changed into all Aebrocrombie clothing, he stared outside of his window looking out onto the road. A yellow bus suddenly appeared. As quick as he could, he sprinted down the stairs and out the door. But it was too late, the bus was already moving away. He decided he would chase the bus to school because school was only half a mile away. Kids laughed at him from inside the bus, not even informing the driver that he was chasing the bus.

After the chase, Aragon was gasping for air. The kids continued to laugh at him as they departed the bus. Aragon sighed and entered the school. At least his friends were always their for him. They were in the same spot in the corner of the cafeteria. One was named Orion. The other was named Jack. All of them were in the same grade and class. Aragon thought they were the only guys in 7th grade who had a brain. Not many people in Peabody Middle School were well-educated. The highest grade any ever got was a C-. Aragon and his friends usually got A's and B's making everyone call them "Nerds".

"So, anyone excited for the trip?" Orion asked.

"Not really." Jack replied.

Aragon just shook my head. Orion really liked Field Trips to historic places, Jack didn't care either way.

The guardian for the trio was Mr. Sabir. An old man who looks like he lived in the 1700's. He did not have a son at Peabody nor was he a volunteer. Aragon was the only one who was suspicous of Mr. Sabir. Aragon slowly walked over too Mr. Sabir.

" Mr. Sabir, do you work with the school?" He asked.

Mr. Sabir slowly turned around glancing straight into Aragon's eyes. Then, he shook his head. Aragon raised an eyebrow due to how confusing his guardian was.

"So... Whats your 1st name?" Aragon asked. The old man murmered the name "Asaroth..".

Aragon was now totally confused. Why would someone have that kind of name?

" One more question Mr....Asaroth? Why are you here?"

This time the old man turned fully toward Aragon and bent down. " I have a mission, that must be accomplished." Asaroth said slowly. As Asaroth spoke these words he wondered.... could this kid.. be the savior?
