The loonatics where siting at the meeting table whating for Zadvaia to explain.
zadvaia: About a month ago my sensers piked up some adnormal energy signals. As I trased them I foned these two. (a holagram of a tall male brown rabbit, whering a pair of bagy blow jens and white tank top. His eyes wher the same as Lexis and her wore a bored expretion) Maximas Rabbit, has the power to tern one thing in to a nether.
Ace gave a unplesint look when he saw Lexi staring up in intrest. The hologram changed in to a siamese cat. Her long brown hair was tiyed back in a pony tail and bangs that fluffed up in front. she was dressed in green como-pants a light blow shirt with its sleeves torn off, a perple opened vest, and a plain green ring on her left hand.
Tech: Siamese!? (Tech stands up in dismay)
every one terns to Tech.
Ace: Ne,Old girl freind Tech?
Teck: Yes.. I meen no...We grow up to gether. See that ring shes whering I gave her that.
Lexi: Wow. Techs got a girl freind.
Tech: She is not my girl freind! Jest an old freind.
Zadvaia: Well soon Siamese Kat will be your co-worker Tech... I have not bin able to fully find out what her powers are. I do know that they have to do with elemints.
Ace:[landeding along with the outhers by a old shop] Now lets see, acording to Zadavia the first of the 4 works here at the Sonic Pond Shop.
Tech:Whats the order where going to find them in?
Lexi:[holding up a small chart] Um. Maximas Rabbit, Tommy Coyote, Kari Bunny, then Siamese Kat. Why?
Tech: No resen. Jest wonted to know thats all.[He trys to hide the tone in his voic]
Slame grummbles somthing and laghes
Rev:I-agree-with-Slame.-I-think-Tech is trying- to-learn-when-he'll-see-his-girlfreind-
Tech grips Rev's beek shut and pulls him by it as they all go in to the Shop.
As they enter all they see is shellves of all sorts of old idems. They vencher in ferther untill they came across a small counter with who they wher looking for siting behind it reeding some sort of paper and looking jest as the holow gram showed.
Ace: Exuse me Doc can you help us where looking for some one.
Maximas:[with out looking up, and in a dull voic] Mr. Sonic is around back.
Duck:Ha...Ya, How could you miss it. If you ask me some one has a jelice promlem.
Back at H.Q. Lexi had finaly found a uniform that fit Max in color and siz. Lexi was whating in the living room for Max to come out. When he emerged he was whering a almost sky blow and black Loonatic uniform. This is when Lexi finaly tock a good look at him. He was about as tall as Ace and arouned the same Age as Lexi herself.
Lexi: Hay, Max can you realy turn one object in to another?
Max:Sher can!
He pulled out a small rock from his poket put it in the palm of his hand and rapped his hand around it. it gave a small glow the same color as his new uniform. when he opened his hand agen it had transtform in to a necless. dangaling from the gold chan was a pink heart with a red gem in the middle.
Max: hear you have it. I dont realy have eny one ells to give it to.[ he gave a sheepish smile]
Back at HQ. Max was in his blow uniform, Tommy had found a Silver one wich he licked and Kari was in a Aqua green.
Zadovia: Wellcome new loonatics, I hope you enjoy your membership. Now thin origonal Loonatics fined your last member Siamese Shes located in the west side address-
Tech: I know where Zadovia.
Ace: Tech I'm not sher if you should go.
Tech:What! Why not?
Lexi:You have a past relation ship with her, so I agree with Ace.
The three newest memberes stood arouned not knowing what the origonal 6 wher tacking about.
Tech: You know me, I wunt do any thing erational.
Ace: Fine. Lets see...'Dane'. You can stay hear and show Kari arouned.
Duck: what I'm not st...
Ace: Duck I'm not giving you a chous. Come on gang lets jet! ***
The loonatics landed by an old run down hous.
Ace: Okay. Tech pal lead the way to you lost girl freind
Tech[with a low growl]: She is not my girl freined! They all started to fallow Tech. This was about the time Ace saw Lexis neckless.
Ace: Hay Lexi whare did you get that? [He said quietly]
Lexi looked down at the small heart: Oh...Max gavit to me.
Ace:Oh.[Ace made an unseen upset face]
They stoped that steps of a old but not bad looking hous. Tech woked up to the door but befor he could nock someone spock to them.
??: no ones in ther insted ther over hear.
The loonatics looked over to see a hmoc jestly roching back and forth. They couldent see all of hom was in it but they did see a brown tale twiching back and forth at the same rithom as the hamock.
Tech: Siamese? The tale stoped and the crecher stood up. Sher anuff it was her.
Siamese: Tech, is that you. [she looked at the coyote for a few secondes]
Siamese: Tech it is you.[She whentruning at the coyote with a big smile and huged Tech allmost nocking him over]
Tech huged her back with the same smile
Tech: Siamese ,my sweet, its bin so long.
Siamese: What mackes you retern to the getos after all this time?
The other 5 loonatics stood dumfounded at the way Tech was acting espeshly him saying 'My sweet'
Tech:you do Siamese! We hered you...got 'poweres'. And wount you to join us.
Siamese: Realy! how did you find out.
Tech: How bout we leve that for later.
Siamese: Okay...I'll goin you. It 'll be like old times.
Ace: Ahem! Tech?
Tech:Oh.. Right...Siamese this some of the teem. Ace, Lexi, Slam, and Rev
As they started to walk off Ace pulled Tech a side
Ace: 'Nothing erational' ah. Mined telling me what that was all about?
"So this is your HQ..." Siamese looked around, impressed at the building's fine architecture. "You've come a long way since the old days, Dog Boy."
The other Loonatics turned quickly to see the coyote's reaction to the "dog" refrence, but he only grinned slightly and looked around the HQ. "Yeah, it really is something," he replied.
While his friends looked on in shock at Tech not going completely feral over the incorrect remark, Rev stood in the corner watching Kari. He didn't notice Dane sneaking up on him until too late.
\/
I'm guessing you want Siamese paired with Tech, right Siamese712?
Rev: BLAW!... What-what-was-that-for-Duck?[Rev terned around angerly and stared at duck] Kari ran over and pushed duck away.
Kari:Thats jest what you use to do to me Dane! And its not funny!
Duck laghing: O come on it to was funny, and my names not Dane eny more its Danger Duck thank you.
Kari: O what ever... Rev are you okay?
Rev blushing: ya I'm fine. Rev and Kari started to talk. Ace aprouched Tech and Siamese
Ace: parden but I need to speek with Tech and Siamese Lexi will see to you geting a uniform.
Siamese: Oh...Ok. See ya Tech
Tech: ya back at cha Siamese and Lexi left in serch of a uniform
Ace: All right Tech spile the beens!
Tech:I'd like to speek of the mader in a more...privet place. Tech and Ace whent to his Lab.
Ace:So?
Tech: Siamese and i grow up to gether. Back when I lived in the getos. Surprising I know. At the age of 15 Siamese and my self became mor thin frieneds.
Ace: figered dat out all ready.
Tech:We wher complet opesets yet the exact same. At the age of 16 we...we...[Tech was becoming hot and swety] We became...intiment. I was In...Love...So I...Asked her to...mari Me.
Ace: What!
Tech: Shhh...cep quiet will you! thats not the end. Are parent seed no. Mine thought I was to smart to be with a run of the mill girl like her. Her parents thought the same...At first we wher going to run away together, but thin I got exsepted to a speshel ejecatinol program. she made me go but be fore I left I gave her that green ring........We ended on prity good terms but its bin allmost 8 years sins then.
Ace: stunned by what he jest herd: Well...um...All i can say is dont let thin get in the way of you to working to gether.
Ther was a nock on the door and in steeped Lexi and Siamese whering a creem uniform.
The uniform reveled her figer well, and showed jest how slim and fit she was.
Siamese blushed at Techs woreds. Ace walked over to Lexi
Ace: come on Lex, it's are tern in the traner.
Lexi: Sher thing Ace, see ya guys later.
Tech and Siamese: See ya.
The room was plunged into a aquered silens. Tech lened over one of his inventions in work and fidled with not knowing what to say. Siamese had her hands behind her back and rubbed the back of her leg with her foot. She couldn't look up at Tech for some reson. Maybe it was becas of Him. Siamese's secret for allmost 8 years now.
Siamses: You know Tech I think you mite jest be bringing your work home with ya.
Tech let out a small laghe, his face full alittle agen: Siamese...I'm...I'm sory.
Siamses: For what?
Tech: you know.
Siamese: Tech. It's okay I understand.
Ther was a nother paws of silents
Siamese: What Time is it?
Tech[checing his arm]: allmost 5 o'cloke
Siamses bit her bottom lip:I need to go um...meet some one.
Tech face sadened: Oh...okay.
Siamese: Would you like to come?
Tech smiling:Um...Ya..Sher.
Siamese: I think its best that we dont where are uniforms though.
Tech: Hu? All right? [Tech walked over to hias dreser and pulled out some old clous and siamese left the room]
*****
Siamses and Tech wher walking down a bissy roud. Tech was whering green pants and a white T-shert Siamese was whering the out fit they had found her in. Tech notesed the green ring on her finer but did not menshen it.
Siamese: We'er hear, Tech.
Tech looked up at the word on the bilding "Philips school for the Gifted" in a smaller print was: ages 3 to 12. Tech looked at Siamese confused.
siamese: Come on! [She whent throw the dor fallowed by Tech]
In the maine room sat a yong woman at a desk. Siamese whent up and adressed the woman
Siamese: Hellow, Kely, I'm hear to pick up Cody.
Kely: Sher thing Siamese, He's in the midle of a chess game. But i'm sher he'll be done eny minet.
Siamese gave Tech a week smile as she fallowed this woman, Tech to fallowed. They stoped at a window in a hall and stared into the room. It was full of kids ( Arthros and hummons) ranging from 3 to12 playing chess and other mental/stragaty games. the woman walked off leving the two staring into the window.
Tech with a very comfused voce: Siamese what are we doing hear and whos Cody? Siamese: Hes...[she started but traled of. she pointed in to the room at a small arthro boy siting clous to the window]
He was playing a game of chess agenst a much older boy. This 'Cody' by the looks of things was 6 maybe 7 going on 8. He was a coyote. brown with cream colered hair coming out from beteth a red bandana raped arouned his head and long ears. Each ear had a 'spike' like Techs.
He was whering blow overalls that looked severall sizes to big and that had several paches. He had a white T-shert with green edging. He also had rather big glasses on, that wher being held together in the midle by tape. Behined the glasses where Cat-like blow eyes.
"What?" Duck shrugged, looking at his old friend. "It was just a joke!"
"Ya, at mine and everyone elses expense!! Your never gunna grow up are you?! Your just gunna stay the same old, self centered, obnoixous, egomaniac Dane!!!" kari retorted before stomping out of the room, leaving Duck staring after her, bewildered by what just had happened.
please continue..... p.s. I had an idea for this story but i'm not sure if it'll work out. I'm just going to have to wait and see.
Ace: I gota strang fel'in that some thin's up with thoghs two
Lexi: What do you meen Ace?
Ace: Well...Tech told me some things of ther past and...I dont know. I don't think dats it's all over.
Duck: Past? What do you meen not over?
Ace: Well...Tech mite not like me telling you all this but... They where engaged to be mared.
Rev, Lexi, and Duck: WHAT?!?!
Men will back at "Philips school for the gifted". Tech is staring at Cody not wonting to belef.
Siamese: Tech you got to know how meny times I tryed to tell you. It's jest...Um...I don't know what to say...After the meteor hit and you.
Tech: It's ok Siamese. I't must of bin tagh for you two. I meen I know how much your parents hated me...and to tern around and have my kid, and in the Getos of all places.....Siamese?
Siamese: Yes Tech
Tech: Why didn't you get an abortion, or give him out to adopion?
:Siamese: Part of me told me no. And part of me was... still in love with you.[She terned away from him and blushed]
Tech said nothing and stared at his son ones agen. THe kid had one of the faces Tech made when in deep thoght.
Siamese: Would you like to meat him?
Tech stratened up at first he was exprtionless but thin a smile crept across his face. Siamese taped the glass and Cody looked up. He gave a big smile and waved his hand high to his mother. He moved a pece on the mred nocking over his oponents king. He leped out of his set and ran to the door that leed to the hall
Cody: Hay mom[he whent running to Siamese giving her a big hug, Tech smiled at the site]
The origanal loonatics and the new ones wher all in the main room. Ace was on he couch, Lex was relaxing in a ben bag char, Duck was trying to mack small talk with Tommy, Slam was in the kichen of corce, and Rev and Kari wher bolth at the pole table playing around. Zadovia was allso ther for a viset. Ace looked up at the two out of uniform
Ace[looking at Cody now who had one hand being held by bolth parents]: Ne, whos the kid Tech
Tech: Um...[Tech piked Cody up, he was strangly small for a 7 year old, and handed him to Siamese] Maybe you should tack him to your room. I'll explan to the team.
Siamese: Sher thing Tech [she walked away] The loonatics whaer all staring at Tech for an anser
Tech: Um...That was Cody and hes well...Why beat around the bush...Codys Siamese's and my...Son
Every one: What!?!?
Ace: Tech why didn't you tell us?
Tech: Hay I jest found out today. The loonatics gave blank stares
Tech: Ace I told you about Siamese and my self...well...it terns out when I lef for school she was...well I guess you all know. She tryed to tell me but ther was no luck, and thin the meter hit and I be came a hero wich made thing even mor dificalt.
"Wow. So, you've had a kid for all these years and you never knew about it?!" Lexi asked, sitting up straight.
"Uh.... ya..... I guess you could say it like that." Tech replied, rubbing the back of his neck in an embarassed fashion.
"Well, he looks like a nice kid. Do you know anything about him?" Ace asked, staring at the coyote.
"I know he's about 7 years old and goes to 'Phillip's School for the Gifted'. But besides that, not much else." Tech answered sheepishly.
"Well go do some 'Father, Son' bonding and get to know him. I'm sure he'd probably like to get to know his dad." Ace said.
"So, you guys are alright with this?" Tech questioned, surprised that they were taking it so well.
"Ya."
"Absolutely."
"Yup."
"Uh-huh."
"kjgfhkshgkjgh ya."
"Don't worry about it Tech. Just go be with him. We'll take care of any superhero business." Ace confirmed him, putting a hand on his shoulder and grinning at him.
"Thanks guys." Tech smiled a relieved, toothy grin before following through the door that Siamese and Cody had gone.
Ace stood there for a moment before turning to the others, a concerned frown on his face. "What are we going to do?"
Lexi:What are you talking about. Hes jest a kid...You know I all ways thought Tech could be a good dad.
Tommy: As far as I'v seen it dusin't seen like a problem
Ace: Lisen[Ace adressing the new team members] you guys havent bin hear dat long so you dont know how much danger ther is in this gig. Think about this. What if one are enemys capchered Cody.
Ace: I got a bad felin' dats some thin' bad will hapen. The loonatics all stared at one another.
Tech, now changed into uniform, knoked on Siamese's door, and whent in. He saw Siamese siting neckt to Coty on the bed. Cody was fidaling with what looked like a small robot he had brout from school.
Tech:Hay guys[Tech sounded nerves]
Siamese: So how they tack it? [she raped her armes aroun Cody, how had set down his invention]
Tech: Pritty well acsholy [he said siting down sest to the two.]
Cody looked up at Tech with his cat eye filled with aw.
Cody: Are you really my father?
Tech[smiled]: Yes...Yes I am
Cody [throwing him self onto Tech and huged him]:This is so cool! You've bin my Idol for so long and to lern that my Idol is my long lost papa. Maybe the kids at school will stop piking on me now!
Tech [now holding Cody in his lap]: piking on you.
Cody :Hehe ya, all be case I'm a 'Hafe Breed' without a father.[Cody gave a depressed look]
There was a small paws of silents.
Tech: Siamese maybe you should go back to you'er hows and get some of yours and Codys thing. Living hear comes with your new job, and Cody is more thin wellcom.
Cody: You'er a Loonatic now mama and where going to live hear with Papa!? Tech had a small pried have Cody refer to him as Papa.
Siamese: Yes Cody.yes we are.
Tech: Ya so you'r mom is going to have to get your stuff and breing it hear. And wiall shes gone I'll woch you.
Siamese smilled at Tech.
Tech: Come on, Cody, I'll show you my lab Tech stoud up and started for the door
Cody:Cool! He jummed of the bed and started to fallow
Cody: O wait[he ran back and grabed what he was working on] He ran to Tech, sliping his hand into his fathers
"Wow! This is your lab?!" Cody gasped as they entered the room.
"Sure is." Tech grinned happily as the door swooshed shut behind them.
Cody looked at all the inventions, gadgets and machines in awe. He looked as if he had died and gone to heaven. When he noticed Tech's giant computer on his desk, he gave an excited squeal and tore over to the machine so fast that it'd give even Rev a run for his money. Tech chuckled amusedly at his sons antics.
"You got the S-INQUISTITOR9350!! Thats the most advanced system on the planet!! I heard that they were still trying to get all the bugs out of it!!!" Cody gasped, taking in the size of the computer.
Tech walked over and pulled his swivel chair out for Cody who ploped right into it and starred at the screen contently. "Thats right. They had a few problems with it so they asked me to take a look at it and solve the problems. It's completely error free now."
"Wow! I heard that the best minds on the planet came together to make this! And then they asked you to help them out afterward?! Amazing!" Cody exclaimed.
Tech chuckled again and showed Cody all the features that the S-INQUISTITOR9350 had and told him how he had fixed and improved it. He watched as his son soaked up the knowledge and quickly understood what he said. Tech then noticed the little robot the Cody had brought with him. "Whats that?" He asked.
Cody's eyes widdened in fear as he franticly tried to hide the robot from sight. When that didn't work, he sighed and showed it to his dad. "It's a robot I'm working on. I call it the Buddy-Matic5000. BM5 for short. I was making it in my spare time but It recently stopped functioning properly. I cant figure out what could be triggering such a negative response."
Tech looked at his son in amazment. "Some vocabulary you got there."
Cody smiled sheepishly. "Thanks."
"So," Tech continued. "You want some help with it?"
Cody's eyes brightened up. "Really?! You wanna help me fix it?!"
"Only if you'll allow me." Tech replied grinning down at him.
"Ok!!" Cody agreed as he and Tech walked over to the worktable.
The two worked and talked. Tech would tell some of his storys of being a Loonatic, andCody would talk of random thins he like and enjoyed. Tech lerned that Cody was reading Advanced Physiks volume 3. Tech has reed the book when he was yonger as well, but at the age of 7 Tech was on Advanced Physiks volume 1 and had goten very confused at first. As they worked some thing Cody had said earlyer came to thoght.
Tech: Cody.
Cody: Yes Papa
Tech: earlyer you said some thing about being piked on at school.
Cody: You meen about being a 'hafe breed'
Tech: Yes
Cody[titining a scrou]: Well...The kids at school are what are called peer breeds. Ther parents are of the same speces. the Arthro kids who are lets say are k-9 have two k-9 parents, lagomorph kids have two lagomorph parents. Me on the other hand have one thats feline and one thats coyote. Mom and I never said I had a coyote as a father, but I look like one and mom is oviesly cat...on top of beeing a hafe Breed the kids still think I'm fatherless. I ushaly ignor it but it still some times gets to me
cody stoped working and stared up at Tech, Tech stared down with a smile.
Cody: I may be, an all ways will be, a hafe breed but I'm not fartherless any more.[Cody huged Tech, Tech crouched down and huged him back]
Cody: I can't what to tell Anne and the other children at school about you. your the Idol of most of them, but get you as a dad.
Tech[relesing Cody]: Whos Anne
Cody[starting to tern red]: Oh shes a girl form school and my best friend. Her real name is Angie but she lets me call her Anne. Shes a hafe breed, like me. Her father is a hummon and her mother is a cat.
Cody pulled a photo out of his bandana and shoud it to Tech. The picher was of Cody and a girl rufly aroun his age and hghth. She looked hummon exsepped her feline nose ears and a tail, and her eyes wher the same as Codys. Tech gave it back to cody.
Tech: Maybe I could tack you to school towmarow. Meet your friend and class, if its alright with you mother.
Cody: Realy!? that would be awsome!
Siamese[how had jest walked in]:What would be awsome?
"Papa wants to take me to school tomorrow and meet my class!" Cody answered looking at Siamese.
"Only if it's alright with you of course." Tech added, smiling at her.
"Please mama! Please, please, please can he?" Cody asked running up to his mom and hugging her around the legs as he sat on his knees in a begging fashion.
Siamese gave Tech a curious look before staring down into her son's eyes. "Of course he can."
"Yay!!! Thank you mama! Thank you!" Cody exclaimed as he hugged her around the waist before running over to Tech and leaping into his arms and giving him a hug.
Tech hugged him back tightly, feeling his son's little heart pounding rapidly in his chest. He gazed and smiled down lovingly at him before looking up to see Siamese's happy expresion. Tech felt as if his heart was to explode, it was filled with so much warmth and affection for the little being in his arms. He couldn't help but think that this was one of the most wonderful times of his life. *** kari looked over at Rev nervously. She felt bad about what Duck had done to him, feeling that it was her falt that it had happened. She realized that she had a sudden yearning to hear his voice, to be in his presence, to talk to him, to gaze into those gorgeous emerald green eyes of his. She felt more cheerful when she was around him and she had realized that his smile always made her feel special, important, wanted, needed.
Rev noticed kari staring at him and he looked over at her.
kari removed her gaze from him, feeling her cheeks warm up furiously fast.
Why do I feel like this?she thought, completely confuzed by her inner emotions. Maybe its because you like him.her concionce replied. Sure I like him. He's my teammate and friend after all.she thought. No, what I mean is that you like him more then that.her concionce said. What!! I do not, its just that I.....I....I.... Do like him.her concionce finished Ok maybe I do, but he'd never like me in the same way. You'll never know untill you ask.her concionce stated before vanishing and leaving her in the black silence of deep thought.
please continue... and please remember that there are other characters then just Tech and Cody! Lets try to give them all a fair shot here! Thank you!
kari was yanked out of her thoughts as she heard Rev calling her name. She looked towards him.
Rev smiled at her and motioned her to join him.
kari got up and walked over to him, her heart pounding so hard in her chest that it hurt and her nerves feeling as though they would burst forth and carry her in the other direction.
"You-wanna-try-my-special-pick-me-up-shake? you-seem-a-bit-uneasy-today." he told her.
"Sure. thanks, i have been feeling a bit uneasy lately." she answered, watching as he added more ingrediants to the shake.
"Any-reason-why-you-feel-like-that?" he asked, his half of his attention on the half ready shake in front of him.
"Um..... I guess I got alot of things on my mind at the moment." she shrugged casually, though she knew the reason perfectly well.
"Huh, well, I-guess-that-it-comes-with-the-job." Rev said, pouring the contents of the blender into two cups and handing one to kari. "You-know-that-you-can-always-tell-me-and-the-others-if-somethings-bothering-you, ok. We're-pretty-much-a-big-family, though-we're-not-related. We'll-be-here-for-you-if-you-need-to-talk-and-we-always-stand-up-for-each-other-and-have-each-others-backs, no-matter-what-happens."
"Thanks Rev. That means alot." kari said taking the cup and smiling up at him warmly.
They stared into each other's eyes for awhile before looking away hurridly, both of them had their hearts and minds fluttering in excitment. They finished the drinks in silence not looking at each other. After, they both headed to the sink, brushing up against each other briefly. At the sudden contact, kari dropped her cup and it smashed into tiny pieces on the floor. She blushed and bent down to collect the pieces. Rev grabbed a broom and dustpan and helped her clean up. They both noticed one last piece on the floor and bent down to pick it up. Their hands touched. They looked into each others faces and smiled. kari blushed again, put the piece in the trash and hurried out of the room.
Ace sat in the living room, meditateing. Or, at least trying to. He couldn't stop glancing over at Max and Lexi who were sitting on the couch and talking together. He felt a pang of jealousy and anger in the pit of his stomach as he watched them laugh at a joke. After a few more minutes of trying to clear his mind, (unsuccessfully i might add) he stood up abruptly and started towards the door.
Lexi and Max noticed this and turned towards him.
"Where are you going?" Lexi asked.
"For a walk." Ace answered briskly and left the room before they could question him any further.
He walked along the streets of Acmetroplis which were bustling with people. The noise, smells and actions around him seemed to help him calm down quite a bit, but not completely.
What does she see in him? What does he have that I don't? Whats so special about him?he thought bitterly as he walked across the street and down another busy sidewalk. maybe she's just being friendly. ever thought of that?his concionce answered. ya, well......he was cut off in mid thought when he heard a scream not so far off.
He looked and saw a female bunny dangling off of a high-up hotel sign. She clutched onto it by her fingertips, struggling to hold on and not to fall and crash onto the hard cement below. Ace started to rush up to her just as her strength betrayed her and she dropped. He caught her just before she hit the ground.
"Are you ok?" he asked as he set her onto her feet.
"Ya I'm fine." She muttered catching her breath. "I should stop dropping in on people like that."
Ace laughed and took in her appearance for the first time. She looked alot like Lexi but his age, maybe a year younger. She was a golden-tan colour and had baby blue eyes that shone brightly with knowledge and adventure. She had blonde hair that fell down the back of her head like a waterfall and her delicate ears were upright. She wore snug black jeans, a blue t-shirt and white runners. He caught himself staring at her and shook his head slightly.
"So, you do that often?" he asked her, totally confuzed.
"No, not really. But I have a knack on dropping in on people unexpectantly." She shrugged and smiled at him.
"If ya don't mind me askin', what were you doing up there?"
She looked up at the sign and ran some fingers through her hair. "Na I dont mind you asking. My dad owns this hotel and I got assigned to change the sign today. I work here part-time. It aint easy work though." she sighed frusteratedly. "It probably wouldve been easier if some no-good punk hadn't pushed the ladder out from under me."
"Well I'm glad to have been around to help. By the way, my name's Ace Bunny, and you are?" he asked her, holding out his hand.
"Diane. Diane Gunning." She replied taking his hand and shaking it. "Well, thanks for saving me Ace, but I gotta get back to work, unfortionately. Well, hope to see ya around." She gave him a warm smile and a wink before turning back and heading towards the hotal lobby.
Ace hesitated for a second before realizing what had just happened. He blinked twice before a big grin crossed his face and he set off back towards HQ, his heart warmer and his mind dancing in the clouds.
The next day Ace a wakened some what early. Something was different that morning. He got up and whent to the kichen. Lexi was at the tablt talking to Siamese and ,what seemed to be ther shyist new member, Tommy. Rev was in the corner of the kichen looking back and forth from his morning shak and Kari. Kari was at the oposit end thin Rev, looking down avoding Rev eye conact. Tech was siting at the table next to Cody, who was waring blow PJ and his red bandana. Duck and Slam where in the main room playing some vido game. And Max was in the kichen fixin' some thing.
Ace thought that seeing Max would make him angery, but ther was nothing. nothing at all. Lexi looked up as Ace walked into the room. She had a emty set at her side, but Ace walked past it and sat at the far end of Lexi. Lexi felt a suden pain of sadness. Ace ushaly sat next to her but he jest walked off.
Lexi: Mornin' Ace Everyone els gave a morning to
Ace: Morning everyone
At this time Max took the set next to Lexi. he smiled at her, and Lexi smiled back thin tryed to retern to the conversation with the other two. Ace wached this. he was a lttle angered, bt his mined started to sore. whin it chous what to think aponed it wasint of Lexi and Max, it wasint even of a team member. it was of her.
What was her name. It exaped him, but whait he remembered. Diane, Diane Gunning was it.
Rev walked over to Kari
Rev: Kari-I...Um[his fingers started taping his glass at a high speed]...was-wondering-if-um-Techs-bin-tellin'-us-about-a-meteor-shower-thats-coming-in-a-cople-of-days-and-I-was-wondering-if-you-would-wont-to-see-it-with-me--no-all-right.
He had givin her no time to anser and was starting to walk away untill someones hand was on his sholder. he looked to see an Aqua green hand. He terned arouned to face Kari.
Kari: I'd love to go with you.

Ace was staring off into space, barly hearing the confersation that was happening in front of him. All he could think of was her. Why did he feel that way? He wasn't nervous around Lexi anymore and ever since meeting Diane yesterday, he couldn't keep his thoughts straight. Even now as he should've been talking to Max, Lexi and Zadavia, he found himself remembering her. He was replaying their meeting for what seemed the thousandth time in his head, taking in the little details that he hadn't noticed before.
Lexi noticed that Ace wasn't talking very much which was weird since he usually liked to talk about the progress, training and stratagies of the team and figure out if Zadavia had found out about anything new about villians or anything suspisous. But now he just stood there, back against the wall, looking at nothing in particular and his eyes had a glazed over appearance.
"....right Ace?" Max joked.
The leader said nothing but kept staring into space.
"Ace?" Zadavia repeated, looking at him with concern.
Still no reply came from him.
The three looked at him in silence before Lexi put a hand on his shoulder. "Hey Ace, are you ok?"
Ace shook his head, clearing his mind of all thoughts as he looked at his friends worried faces. "Sorry, what were you saying?"
The exchanged nervous glances. Lexi spoke again. "Are you ok? You don't seem to be with us completely."
"Ya I'm fine Lex. Dont worry about me." Ace smiled, having finaly made up his mind, before heading towards the door.
"Where are you going?" Max called after him.
"I gotta do something that I should've done in the first place." he replyed, giving them his trademark smirk before leaving the tower.
The trio looked at each other, shrugged it off and resumed their conversation.
Duck had quacked into the room just in time to hear what Ace had said. Curiousity getting the better of him, he silently decided to follow Ace and figure out what was going on with the leader.
Lexi seemed to sadden inside as she watched Ace leave. She didn't know why but something told her that he wasnt leaving to do something, he was leaving to see someone. This made her very nervous.Ace seeing someone?! That thought hit her with a pang of jealousy. She bit her lower lip before leaving the other two and looking out the window and watching as Ace set off down the road to, what it seemed, a fancy hotel.
Ace walked arouned throw the busaling people. He ceped looking behined himself. He couldn't shak the feling that some one was fallowing him. He stopped in front of a hotel. Looking at the sine and remembering her dangaling from. Ace swallowed a little nervesly and walked in.
He walked to a front counter and dinged a small silver bell.
??:Coming Coming...Oh! Its you agen. Ace looked up to see Diane smialing at him.
Ace: Hi...Um...have you hered of the Maxlocks meater shower coming in a few days?
Diane: Yes...I herd its going to be butifull!
Ace: Ya I was jest wondering would you like to see it with me. Kinda short term I know onsidering it in 3 day but I thought maybe....
Ace traled away
Diane:I'd love to..um...Ace right
????: Ya thats his name. But whats his game?
Ace terning arouned: Hu?
*** Cody: Anne come over hear! Cody waved though a small croud of kids. A small girl, Codys age, Came walking through.
