PROLOG
Barry and Steve were walking in the forest. It was a particularly sunny day and light shone through the leaves, making glistening mirages everywhere. Barry carried a stick on which hung large berries, stuck through their lower stems and hung upside down. Carrying a giant apple, one of the smaller ones they saw on this food trek, Steve smiled, "It's a quiet day."
Barry looked up at the tall man, "Yeah, there's not many giants around."
"Yeah and you won't hear me complaining," Steve said, "I like peace and quiet for a change. But it makes me suspicious."
"Oh?" The usually quiet dark faced boy dropped his smile, "Why?"
"I always get the feeling peace and quiet on this planet is just a trap. Like
all hell is just about to break loose."
These words were no sooner spoken than a rip roaring, ear piercing scream filled the air. The pair looked up and saw a flash of a something hurtling down from the blue sky, trailing a line of white smoke and red flame. It looked like a small manta ray with upturned wing-like struts. Wide eyed, they could only watch the lite blue colored ship as it crashed with alarming speed and even more alarming crushing sounds. Barry pointed, "It's landed over that way!"
"Yeah, c'mon!" Both dropped their food catches and ran toward the sound and the area they perceived the craft crashed in. As usual, Steve lead the chase, the man a born leader without even really knowing it. Barry was older now and could keep up with him.
The pair saw a long row of giant trees, lined very close to each other, just beyond the craft. This thing looked like what it was. Barry was wide eyed with wonder, "It is! It's a space ship!"
"A small one, yeah," Steve said, "But if anyone's in it...that fire!"
At the moment, a fire was spreading around the front and the back of the ship. It had started at the back and began to spread around the side of the craft. The forward compartment was comprised of what looked like a nose cone with a large transparent top for the pilot to sit in. Black smoke from the small but growing fire blocked their view. Steve immediately started kicking dirt at the fire and it began to die down in the back of the craft but not enough. Barry scooped up handfuls of dirt and flung them up at the back of the craft using both hands. Steve looked around feeling futile, "That won't do it, we need..."
Barry ran to the far front of the nose cone and noticed the fire had not spread that far...yet. "Captain! There's someone inside!" Barry, without waiting, tried to open the top piece of what looked like glass but of what was made of stronger transparent material that could not crack. Steve was batting the fire with his red jacket, which he removed. Oh hell, he thought, another jacket shot to hell.
"Can you get him or her out?"
"Him!" Barry had two leaves in his hands and used them to shield his hands and fingers from the heat. The cone opened and Barry saw the most amazing face he ever had. The long lashes above the eyes were closed as the eyelids were over the eyes. "I don't think he's breathing!" Stepping over the rim of the front, Barry leaned in close. The sun kissed semi lite golden, tanned skin of this being was smooth like's a baby's. He, for it was definitely a male, despite the girlish feel to him, appeared about Barry's own age. The full lips and the long blond hair, so blond it almost blinded Barry, and the almost nude body enticed Barry more than he cared to admit. There was a small silver stud on the boy's nose on the left side and attached to it was a chain which lead to the boy's left ear lobe. A crisscrossed belt was over the boy and Barry couldn't tell if it was part of a seat belt or the boy's outfit. The boy's stomach was bare and his shoulders were bare and his arms. He wore a kind of leather spandex pair of shorts the color black with some yellow fringe on the legs and a yellow/red stripe that went down the sides. He also had on steel tipped boots of blue. "Alien probably," Barry whispered to himself. He opened the mouth and saw a set of white perfect teeth and he pinched the small pert nose, avoiding that stud. He breathed into the boy's mouth, "1...2...3..."
Suddenly Barry found bright blue eyes staring into his own brown pupils. His eyes went wide and he tried to withdraw but the boy had brought up his hand to behind Barry's head and held Barry's head into his own. The boy stuck his tongue into Barry's mouth. Barry tried to back away but then gave in and moved forward...for he wanted this.
Both closed their eyes and kissed. Barry got very hard.
Steve's snap brought them out of their passion, "Hey, Barry! What are you doing in there? I can't get this fire out! Do you see a fire extinguisher of any kind?"
The alien boy pointed to a tube like device and Barry snatched it up and tossed it out to Steve. Steve looked at the strange language on the thing, "Well, it can't be too different than an Earth one...hope it works the same anyway!" Soon, he was plugging away at the fire from the behind of the ship. "It's too far gone. Get him out of there if you can!"
Barry unbuckled the boy's harness and noticed the belts dropping to show the boy's totally bare upper body. A nice rounded chest and thick pointy nipples, one pierced with a golden ring. Barry heaved the boy from under the arms and sort of easily threw him over his shoulder. He ran from the small craft but found the boy's weight too much. As the fire spread to a fuel tank, Steve saw the boys and ran to them as the pair fell. He grabbed both of them up, one each under an arm and the craft behind them exploded, tossing them all forward into the sand.
LAND OF THE GIANTS BARRY'S NEW DISCOVERIES
ACT ONE
Steve stood. "You guys are alright," Steve grabbed Barry by his belt buckle and the new boy by his spandex. As he lifted both boys to their feet, he noticed this new boy had nothing on under those spandex shorts. Who was this wild kid anyway?
