Here I'll just put stuff I wrote. Most of it will be oneshots and such; anythig longer will be a link to it on fanfiction.
The song is "When the Wrong One Loves You Right" by Celine Dion. I do not own Loonatics Unleashed (property of WB) or the song mentioned above. It's my first oneshot so it may easily suck.

Lexi was staring angrily out the windows of HQ, waiting impatiently. I watched her for a while, wondering what she could be waiting for. As far as I knew, we hadn't ordered any pizza or chinese food, so she couldn't be waiting for a delivery guy. Yet there she was, wearing a pink strapless dress that went to her knees. She ran her fingers through her short blond hair in frustration.
"What's got your ears all tangled up in a knot?" I finally asked, walking up to her side.
"My boyfriend," she grumbled. "He was supposed to be here by now."
Already knowing the wrath of Lexi's brain blast, I backed off without making any remarks. Lexi flopped on a couch and turned on the MP3 Music Blaster 3000 sitting on a small table. While she flipped through radio stations, I found my chance to escape the room without seeming awkward. Running out of the living room, I almost collided with Tech in the hallway.
"What's up with her?" I asked, gesturing to the disgruntled bunny.
"Her boyfriend's late," Tech said. He shook his head as he looked at Lexi. "He went to the library to do something, and he has a date with Lexi in five minutes."
I widened my eyes in disbelief. I knew Lexi's boyfriend, and he was hardly ever late for anything.
"Fremlaba Lexi!" Slam commented, entering the hall carrying a sandwich larger than his head.
"Slam's-right," Rev suddenly zipped up behind us. "Lexi's-guy-is-going-to-get-his-goose-cooked-if-he-doesn't-show-up-at-HQ-soon!"
The four of us stood there for a while each hoping that, for Lexi's boyfriend's sake, he wouldn't take much longer to pick her up.
"Maybe-we-should-see-how-Lexi's-doin'," Rev suggested as we stood there. "After-all,-she-must-be-feeling-pretty-down-right-now."
Slam, Tech, and I didn't really know how to respond to that idea. When it came to Lexi's love life, she could get pretty moody. She had waited for a long time to finally go out with this guy, and she wanted to make their relationship seem perfect. But if Rev was willing to to get his tail feathers blasted off him, that was fine with us.
"You can talk to Lexi," Tech said, "but I have to, um, check the polarity in the international system."
"Bkarhjd eat!" Slam said gesturing to his sandwich.
"And I have to, er, help Tech!!!" I announced, following Tech and Slam out of the hallway, leaving Rev to face Lexi alone.
A short while later, the three of us were squeezed into the security room. Slam and I were trying to make room for ourselves while Tech was trying to get the cameras to look into the living room.
"Tjefha!!" Slam said, moving his arms to try and make some personal space for himself.
"Hey, settle down big guy!" I sucked in my stomach to make some room. "You're taking up more room than me and Tech combined!!"
"Quiet for a sec, guys," Tech silenced us with a wave of his hand. "I've got the living room."
We all leaned forward to look at the monitor. Lexi was still lying on the couch looking distant and angry. We were all surprised that Rev wasn't in the room yet; his super speed should have enabled him to get from the hallway to the living room in about 0.0006 seconds (according to the coyote). But it had already been about three minutes, and still no Rev.
Finally, the roadrunner came into view of the cameras. We all tensed as Rev sat down next to Lexi; waiting for the moment when Lexi would explode at the thought that her boyfriend would be late.
The explosion never came. Lexi turned to look at Rev, and none of us could ignore the look of surprise and happiness on the bunny's face. Her expression changed from one of pure anger to one of, what was it? Relief?
We couldn't hear what they were saying to each other. Lexi had the MP3 Music Blaster 3000 on pretty high. It was playing this song that people used to play around 700 years ago. Ancient, but it was still a nice song.
Don't care, what they think How they feel, or what they say
Lexi said something to Rev, and he seemed to agree with her statement. The two sat there for a while, leaving Slam Tech and me impatiently waiting for something to happen.
You're everything, I ever knew I always wanted, baby
Finally, the bird put his arm on Lexi's shoulder as a friendly gesture of comfort. She smiled and leaned into his shoulder, and we all noticed the roadrunner's bewildered and shocked expression.
I've been warned, so many times They tell me I've ignored the signs
Tech fumbled with the controls a little, and then we could hear Lexi and Rev almost perfectly. He had adjusted the microphones in the living room to move farther away from the music and closer to the pair on the couch. The music could still be heard, but it was a big improvement from what he had before.
"You seem to have had practice at spying in the living room," I commented to the coyote slyly. He shot me a murder look from his olive eyes before facing the screen again.
"Thanks for coming, Rev," Lexi said, smiling sadly. "I guess I kinda' knew you'd come."
But nobody knows you like I do The only one for me is you
Rev looked at his comrade with concerned green eyes. "I-just-wanted-to-make-sure-that-you-weren't-going-to-take-this-whole-thing-too-hard.-I'm-sure-your-boyfriend-isn't-really-late-maybe-he-got-held-up-by-something."
I can't stop, can't fight, can't resist it When the wrong one loves you right
"Maybe," Lexi looked out the huge window again. "It's just that I've always wanted to go out with him; I don't want anything to go wrong, you know?"
Rev looked at her, understanding her pain without necessarily having a similar experience to hers. The roadrunner was usually too happy-go-lucky to seem heartbroken about anything.
Can't run- can't hide- can't resist it When the wrong one love you right When the wrong one loves you right
It was silent for the next few seconds, neither one of us did anything. Rev and Lexi stared out the window while Slam, Tech, and I watched the monitor. The only sound passing through HQ was the song.
Getting tired, of hearing that You're dangerous, but they won't stop
"Lexi?" Rev said, breaking the silence with an unusually slow voice.
"Hmm?" Lexi turned to face him.
"Can I ask you something?" he said nervously, his voice completely losing its hyper tone.
Until I leave, they won't believe That being with you won't break my heart
"Sure," Lexi said, her eyes and voice eager, as if urging him to continue. "What is it?"
The roadrunner then finally found himself in an awkward position. I had a feeling that there was no way Rev could ask Lexi his question without facing huge problems between him and her. He finally sucked in his breath, and tried to pose the question.
"Lexi," he said, his voice almost catching in his throat. "Will you..." he stopped, took a quick breath, and started again. "I mean, do you really..."
So worried bout, the road ahead They can't see that, you're my best friend
Rev was suddenly cut off as the mechanical doors to the living room slid open. Lexi immediately jumped off the couch, almost pushing Rev away, and practically ran to her boyfriend.
"Ace!!!" she cried, throwing her arms around him happily. He embraced her, giving he a kiss.
They're never gonna take me away from you There's nothing they can do
"Well," I said, leaving the security room. "Looks like there's no reason for me to still be here." I quacked out of there, landing neatly a few seconds later in the living room. I landed a few steps away from the couch, seeing Rev with his mouth still open as if hoping he could finish his question.
The two bunnies were still kissing when Rev finally closed his beak, and they didn;t stop when Tech and Slam finally came into the room. It was sickening. They'd been going out for a month and they acted like an newly married couple.
"Hey, Lex!" Ace said, finally pulling away from her. "Sorry I took so long. Didn't mean to keep you waiting."
"You bet you didn't!!!" I said. "You had Lexi almost exploding here!"
"Really?" Ace looked concerned. "Were you okay?"
I saw Lexi turn to look at Rev before smiling back at Ace. "It's okay," she said. "I was fine."
I can't stop, can't fight, can't resist it When the wrong one loves you right
"Well that's a relief," Ace smiled, putting his arm around Lexi's waist for a moment. "I need to get something from my room. Can you wait for a sec?"
"Sure," Lexi smiled, watching Ace as he left the room using the elevator. I watched her watch him for a while, then went over to talk to her.
"Well well well," I said, leaning against a nearby wall. "Is it rabbit or roadrunner season for you, missy?"
I waited for the death look, and I got it. Lexi whipped around with a look of surprise, then annoyance, then she was seething.
Can't run - can't hide - can't say no When the wrong one loves you right
"WHAT THE HELL?!?!?" she hissed. I knew that she would be strangling me if we weren't in earshot of the others. "THAT'S JUST......."
"Doesn't seem like you can make up your mind," I shrugged. "Just trying to help."
When the wrong one loves you right
Lexi shook her head. Fortunately she seemed to cool off a little. "Forget it, Duck," she sniffed. "Rev just wanted to be a good friend to me, and I let him. He just wanted to make sure I was alright. If he really liked me he would have said something by now."
"Sure," I said back. "Is that what you really believe, or is that what you want to believe?"
Lexi whipped her head around, her mouth open in anger and shock. "Duck!!!!" she hissed. "Can it!!!"
How can I walk away When the feelings so strong I know you're where I belong
I backed away. The last thing I needed was to get a taste of Lexi's brain blast in my tail.
She moaned softly. "I can't let Rev know," she whispered to almost no one in particular.
"What?" I asked.
"He can't know that I don't, that I don't," she put her hand to her head. "I don't know what would happen to him if I told him I didn't..."
They sat I let my heart Make up my mind That's why I'll never say goodbye
"Lexi, you ready?" Ace came into the living room again.
Lexi wiped away all looks of sadness as Ace entered the room. "Yeah," she smiled. "Let's go."
I watched the two get into the elevator. Lexi looked happy with Ace; she was laughing away as Ace said something to her. But somehow she didn't look as happy as when she was...
I shook my head, shaking out the thoughts that Lexi had put into my head. I went to the other guys who were sitting on the couch with Rev. It was too tempting. I had to comment on what had happened.
I can't stop, can't fight, can't resist it When the wrong one loves you right
"So, looks like Ace is going to have to worry about more than one jealous guy, huh?" I snickered as I sat down near Rev. He whipped his head around to look at me. I received a look of disbelief and worry from the roadrunner, but it quickly turned to one of unconcern.
Can't run - can't hide - can't resist it When the wrong one loves you right When the wrong one loves you right
"I don't know what you're talking about," he said in an unusually slow tone. However, he seemed to be very interested in the living room wall as he denied my statement.
"Huh," the two of us turned around as Tech made a comment. The coyote was sitting casually on the couch, quietly observing what had just happened. He hadn't said anything in a while, not since he had told Slam and me to be quiet in the security room. He smirked as he faced his old friend. "I believe the contrary."
"What? Oh-that's-not-fair-Tech-you're-supposed-to-be-on-my-side!!!" Rev complained, sounding like his old self.
"Just calling them like I see them," Tech said casually. "I may not be a genius when it comes to love, but I'm not blind, Rev."
The roadrunner opened his mouth widely to protest to his friend's words, but then closed it as his eyes looked downcast. Tech sighed when he saw his hurt friend, and put a hand on his shoulder.
As the coyote went over to comfort Rev, I walked over to the window. Ace and Lexi had already made it to the base of HQ, still cracking up over something.
Ace walked across the street, but Lexi didn't follow him right away. Instead, she looked back up at the living room where the rest of us sat. She was hundreds of feet below us, but I could almost swear that she was looking up. And I could swear that she was crying. The movements she made were very similar to wiping tears off one's face.
I can't stop, can't fight, can't resist it When the wrong one loves you right
Frowning, I left the room, not going back to the depressed roadrunner. But I had to get away from them.
Can't run - can't hide - can't resist it When the wrong one loves you right When the wrong one loves you right
Was I glad that Ace was with Lexi? Yes, possibly.
I needed him to be with her. I don't think I could control myself if he wasn't. It was common sense of relationships that now kept me sane.
Did I love Lexi? Yes, possibly in the past.
Which is why I found myself in the same position that Rev was in back in the living room. I didn't want to go through with the pain that I felt when I first met her back when the meteor first hit. I blocked out all feelings, which was easy to do since my parents abandoned me at the orphanage.
Was I glad that Rev was now in that position?
The MP3 still played the song, but nobody was really listening to it anymore. I listened as the last line of the chorus seemed to echo throughout HQ. And I thought about her.
When the wrong one loves you right
\/
Blah. If this is any good, I may continue this. But for now, here it is.
Ah zhe conflicting nature of love! So who does Lexi really love now i wonder? Nice exploration of Rev and Duck's feelings of love here zadavias spirit. And writting from Duck's point of view is interesting. Tech was so smooth here too! I love it when he knows things about people!
Why do you say it's random? This is really good! I love it how you did it in the first person so we got more detail than we bargained for. And the lyrics to the song, what song is it? If you wrote it yourself, than I take my hat off to you.

NUUUUU!!!!!! I didn't write this song. If I was that talented...... The song is "When the Wrong One Loves You Right" by Celine Dion. If you want to hear it, try this link. Sorry if you don't like Sparrabeth, but I can't find any other good vids. Enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZcglNYnCZo
I love Celine Dion ^^ And I enjoyed this fic very much. It took me a while to grasp that this was from duck's perspective, because it seems a little bit out of his character, but it sunk in. I like how you expressed duck and rev's feelings, very nicely done!
This is quite poignant, especially the last few lines.
I really like the first person narrative style you used here. It took a while for me to realize Duck was telling the story, but getting inside his head and seeing from his perspective added a lot once it registered. I sincerely hope you continue this.
Excellent song, too, BTW. ^^

Ah, Tech. Tu chauffes mon cœur comme un jour en été…
Absolutely awsome! It was very interesting to see it from Duck's point of view. To tell ya the truth, I couldnt really tell who was narrating it, all I figured out was that it was either Duck or Ace who was Lexi's boyfriend. Hmmm... only two things on my mind now. 1. Who does Lexi really love? 2. I wonder how many times Tech got to practice the cameras and microphones for spying that got him to be so good at it. Anyway, my congrats to you on an amazing fic!
Tech: No. It's a highly delicate insturment that can flip through the channels of the time-space continum at my own free will.
Duck: Uh, you said something about.....flipping through channels?
Tech: NO.
Lexi: Is it a hair dryer??
Tech: NO! It's similar to large screen that enables me to see across pretty much anywhere and, using this device, can change what I see and experience within a matter of Nanoseconds.
Crickets chirping,
Rev: So-it's-a-tv-remote?
Tech: NUUU!!!! IT'S SCIENTIFIC INSTURMENT USED TO CREATE PORTALS TO ALTERNATE DIMENSIONS AND TIMES!!!
Tech: *perks up* Allow me to demonstrate. pushes a button on the SIUTCPTADAT. A whiring noise begins as a small wormhole-like-thing appears above the 'tics. Everyone besides Tech watches in awe as the wormhole grows as bright lights flash around the room.
Tech: Hang on! Something's coming out!!!!
Sure enough, a hand pops out of the wormhole. The unknown figure grows larger, unitl Tech finally realizes what it is.
Tech: Oh, dear gods..........
As if on cue, a fangirl falls out of the wormhole and lands in the middle of HQ.
Tech: GAAAHHHH!!!! HELP SOMEBODY!!!! REV?!?!?!? HEELP!!! PUSH THE RED BUTTON!!!!!!
Rev: I-dunno-I-still-think-this-is-a-tv-remote. Rev pushes random buttons except the red button to try and turn the tv on. As he does this, more Techies fall from the wormhole as different portals are opened. All the other 'tics are watching this with amusement.
Tech: *still being glomped as Rev keeps hitting buttons* WHO CARES ABOUT BATMAN, REV?? HELP MEEE!!!!
Rev: *whips around to face Tech* YOU DISSED BATMAN!!!! I hereby shun you from my existance. *gives Tech the cold shoulder:
Tech: *this entire response to Rev's comment is Basically, he says 'Rev, help me now' with a lot of swearing*
Rev: NU!-Not-'til-you-apologize-to-Batman!!
Tech (who by now is practically torn apart by fangirls): WHAT?!?!?!? I'M NOT APOLOGIZING TO BATMAN!!!
Rev:
Tech: Oh . Fine. Rev?
Rev: hm?
Tech: I'm sorry.
Rev: Who-are-you-saying-sorry-too?
Tech: *thinking, Oh god.* I'm sorry........Batman. *spits out that last word.*
Rev: YAY!!! *pushes the red button. All the fangirls instantly get sucked back to the wormhole into their own dimensions.*
Tech (who is now covered in kisses and is basically a mess) : *to the other 'tics in a quiet yet obviously POed tone * And you didn't stop this crazed roadrunner.....................why?
Ace: 'Cause we were bored!
Lexi: Gave us something to watch!!1
Slam: Bfmreg!!!!! (AKA AGAIN!!!)
Duck: Yeah. Didn't know how much damage a single horde of crazed coyote fangirls could do!
Tech: *plotting revenge.............*
And...The End. Of Chapter 1. Chapter 2 to come soon (maybe).
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!! That's so funny! Love the "what is it" jokes. And when the fan girls came, I laughed out loud!!! Well done ZS!!!
Yeesh. I seriously need to work on my fanfics more. Considering I had a 3 day weeked (my school was closed because of rain if you can believe it. Anyhoos, here's chappie 2 of (insert cool title which I have not thought up of yet here)!!! Note: 4th wall is broken!
The living room, Rev is sitting alone on the couch watching something on t.v. Tech walks in carrying the SIUTCPTADAT. Rev is unaware of his friend's arrival
Tech: Normally I would get pretty mad at you for what you did a while ago. What with the whole fangirl-wormhole-sucking-glomping-techie-calling-kissing that I had to go through.
Rev: Okay.....
Tech: But I won't. I guess it was my fault for being so hard on you and your favorite super hero (). You were only curious about my new invention which I didn't let you see before. You didn't know its power, and all I did was make zs write ": censored :" over and over again. I guess a real friend wouldn't have acted the way I did towards you. Can you forgive me?
Tech: No, Rev. You're the greatest friend a guy could ever have, and you really don't deserve a friend who acts like me. I can only pray that, no matter what I do, you'll always consider me your best friend at the end of the day.
Yeah........ I may continue the adventures of the SIUTCPTADAT, but for now you have to put up with.. FLUFF OMGOMGOMG!!! Ruuuuun!!! *ahem* Anyways, I decided to write a Texi, since I've had this idea for a while. So whoopdedoo, yeah. This story's called "Parasite." Italics are thought. \/
It was one of those situations where you ask yourself, How the hell did this even start? Danger Duck awoke from peaceful sleeps as he heard shouting noises coming from the Loonatics' new communication room on Blanc. "Not now mommy, five more minutes," Duck moaned as the shouting got louder. A loud punching sound finally woke the mallard who got up immediately, afraid that the others were perhaps fighting against intruders. Still wearing his orange pajamas, Duck stumbled out of his room and met Slam Tasmanian outside. The devil was also still wearing his pajamas, except they were purple. Obviously, Slam had also been awakened by the shouting, and his expression was one of confusion. "Bjnfkay?" Slam inquired, scratching his massive brown head. "Don't know," Duck said with a yawn. "What's wong, Mistuh Duck?" another small voice called out. Duck groaned as the Royal Tweetums joined the others, already dressed in his royal robes. He carried his royal scepter in his hand, his jeweled crown high on his head. He looked slightly worried as he jumped up to sit on Duck's shoulders. "I hewd shouting and fighting. I cewtainly hope that no one is invading my pawace!!!" "Hey, don't get your yellow canary feathers all in a ruff!" Duck said. "I'm sure it's nothing," he added, although he was a bit uncertain. "Nothin' to worry about," a new voice said. The three turned to see Ace Bunny in his yellow pajamas join them. "I think our 'intruders' are actually ones we're quite familiar with." The team ran to the communication room where they found Rev Runner and Tech E. Coyote together. Unlike the others, they were still in their black uniforms with their red and green markings respectively. Also unlike the others, the two were taking it out on each other like there was no tomorrow. Rev was slamming Tech's head into the floor repeatedly, obviously causing the coyote a lot of pain. Although Tech was used to being a victim of physical pain, he winced every time his head hit the ground. For a while, the four watched in shock as Rev continued to hold the coyote by the ears and pushing him into the hard tiles. Tech gasped as he tried to pull away from the roadrunner's grasp, but failed. Instead, he managed to lift one of his legs to deliver a firm kick into the other's stomach. Rev let go, the wind knocked out of him, leaving Tech another chance to punch him into the wall. The roadrunner quickly recovered and ran at the coyote while Tech drew back his fist for another punch. Rev's foot flew into the air and made contact with Tech's snout, just as Tech's fist came into contact with Rev's feet. The simultaneous impact threw the friends in completely opposite directions, sprawling them on the floor. The others quickly took this opportunity to jump on them. Slam got a firm grip on Rev, pinning his wings behind his back. Ace and Duck each took a hold of one of Tech's arms as they pulled him away from the fast-talking bird. Tweetums stood between them, ready to thwack the two with his royal scepter if they managed to break free from Slam, Ace, and Duck. The concerned teammates were only mere distractions to the coyote and roadrunner, however, as they struggled to break free from the others' grasp. "What's goin' on 'ere?!?" Ace hollered, trying to get through to the two quarreling anthros. He was ignored as they continued to lunge at each other unsuccessfully. It was almost like a game now between the coyote and roadrunner; who could shout out the best insults at the other since they couldn't be punching at each other. The others watched as the two friends bickered with each other. Normally, they would have been amused by another show from their "Comedy Duo;" these somewhat violent fights happened every once and a while between the two. Once they'd gotten into a fist-fight over who would be in charge of monitoring communications in their old headquarters. But the friend's fighting had grown a lot worse in the past few weeks, and this was taking it too far. "You're-freakin'-dead-man!!! As-soon-as-I-get-my-hands-on-you...!!!" "Oh YOU should talk!!! Your neck looks PERFECT for me to squeeze my hands around!!!" "Idiot!!!!" "Slow poke!!!" "Half-wit!!!" "Loud mouth!!!" "Dog!!!" The other Loonatics nearly dropped their jaws, surprised and shocked at how far the roadrunner was taking this fight. Calling the canine "dog" was pretty much the equivalent of slapping him in he face. Tech stared at Rev, eyes wide, but then went almost completely wild. He snapped his jaws angrily, breaking free of Ace and Duck's grasp. Lunging at the roadrunner, Tech extended his paws out to grasp Rev's neck. Fortunately, Ace was able to get to the enraged coyote before any harm could come to the bird. Grabbing Tech similarly to the way that Slam had Rev, he tried to get through to him. The elevator door quickly slid open as Lexi Bunny ran into the room. She, too, looked as if she'd just woken up. Her blonde hair was in slight disarray and she was wearing her pink pajamas. Her eyes were wide with surprise, but her mouth and eyebrows made it evident that she was more angry than shocked. The tone of her voice made even the feral coyote turn to look at the bunny She ran up to Ace and Tech, confused and angry at the outbursts. "TECH!!!" Lexi shouted, practically into the coyote's long ears. "WHAT'S GOTTEN INTO YOU?!? YOU'RE ACTING CRAZY!!!" Tech stared at her for a bit, more surprised now then anything. Lexi wasn't known for yelling, or even losing her temper. He tried to calm down a little, taking deep breaths as Ace loosened his grip on him. "It's alright, Lex," the leader smiled, wrapping one arm around her shoulder. "It seems like our little friend here's been having some...'temper' problems." He didn't get a chance to continue. Tech turned around to face the rabbit, his eyes boring holes into Ace. Taking everybody by surprise, the coyote abandoned trying to calm down and lunged himself at his leader's neck instead. Both of them fell to the ground as Tech wrapped his paws around Ace's neck. "Hey!!! What's the big idea?!?" Duck yelled as he leapt to pull Tech off of Ace, but was immediately stopped as Tech let out a menacing snarl. "Tech...." Ace gasped, the coyote's grip slightly tightening around his neck. "Let....go of........" His pleas were ignored as Tech only snarled in response, his sharp fangs right in his face. "What did you say?!?" he snarled, growling angrily. "What?" Ace asked weakly in confusion. "What. Did. You. Say To...?" Tech asked quietly, the anger still not leaving his voice. "I.....didn't......say....." Ace gasped, trying to find some way to breathe. "TECH!!!" Lexi screamed, all the usual cheerfulness in her voice gone. She ran to Ace's side and matched Tech's glare with her own. Normally, she would have been afraid of Tech in this state, "GET OFF OF ACE NOW!!!!!!!!!!" Even in the midst of No one had ever seen the female rabbit so infuriated, not even Duck. Tech stared at her for a bit, his olive eyes still burning with anger, before releasing Ace's neck. Lexi kneeled down to help him up. The gray rabbit stood up slowly, still dazed over what had just happened. "What the hell is wrong with you?!?" Lexi hissed at Tech, her emerald eyes flashing. Tech could only stare at the others as the same question floated through everyone's mind, including his own. "I believe an explanation is required, Tech," a voice said as the lights left the room. Zadavia suddenly appeared using her holographic powers . Her long blonde hair flew around her head as her green eyes turned white. Although they had no colors, her eyes were cold and angry, and they were staring right at the coyote. Everyone was surprised to see the Frelagnian queen show up on the hologram system. Since she and her brother returned to their home planet of Freleng, they hadn't expected to hear from her for a while. "Lexi? Ace?" She paused before continuing, her voice as cold as her stare. "Tech? Is everything......alright?" A silence filled the room as the team looked at Tech expectantly, waiting for an explanation for his sudden rash behavior. "Thewe was a swight pwobwem, Zadavia," Tweetums spoke. "Mistuh Coyote..." Rev spoke up, eager to help defend his friend. That was Rev for you. Try to kill him twice and he'll still defend you when you need him. "Zadavia," he wrestled himself away from Slam in order to speak to their former boss. "I'm-really-sorry-you-had-to-use-the-hologram-system-to-talk-to-us-this-late. Tech-and-I-were-talking-about-something-and-I-said-something-to-make-him-mad. Then-the-others-got-here-and-they-tried-to-stop-us-from-fighting-but-it-ended-up-getting-worse-since-I-started-yelling-at-Tech-again-so-this-is-really-all-my-fault. There-isn't-really-any-reason-for-you-to-get-mad-at-Tech-or-any-of-the-others-for-that-matter..." "That may be, Rev," Zadavia said, interrupting him, a tone of anger coming to her voice that she usually saved for Duck. "But that still does not compensate for the fact that..." "I know, Zadavia," Tech spoke for the first time in a while, trying to regain some of his lost dignity. "It was my fault. Some of the others said some things that shouldn't have bothered me, and I..." "What the hell did Ace say?!?" Lexi asked loudly, still upset about the damage Tech had done to Ace. "He said you had 'temper issues!' What the hell is wrong with that?!?" "Lexi," Zadavia said warningly, taking a worried glimpse at Tech. Tech, however was motionless. "I know," he said quietly. "I'm sorry. I really don't have an excuse for this, and I shouldn't. There really is no excuse, and Zadavia's right. No matter what anyone else said, it doesn't compensate for what I did." He turned to Zadavia. "I'm sorry." Zadavia looked at Tech for a moment, her face expressionless. No one could tell if she was angry, saddened, or confused. Tech looked at the floor nervously. Now that Zadavia was gone, he could feel everyone's attention focusing on him. "I'm....I'm going to get some work done..." he stuttered, knowing that the others were still staring at him. "I'm......I'm sorry for.......what happened." He knew it wasn't nearly enough to apologize, but for now it was all he could do. He left quickly to avoid the terrified and angry looks of his friends.
\/
After escaping the communication room, the genius was a wreck. He couldn't believe he could be such an idiot; something he rarely admitted even to himself. His uniform was most likely a mess too, thanks to Rev. He took the stairs to escape to one of the only places in the headquarters where he could completely get away; his lab. It wasn't as familiar as the old one that they'd left on Acmetropolis, but it had the qualifications for a lab. The right equipment, space, and tools he needed to invent and make everything the team needed were right there for him. When he reached the lab, he collapsed in a nearby chair. Finally, he was out of the room. Ever since Rev had "started" the fight, he knew it was going to be an uncomfortable situation to get out of.

"Ooh!!! What's-that-Tech? Can-I-see-it? Can-I-touch-it? What-does-it-do?" Rev asked, zooming around the occupied canine as he tried to get him to stop snooping at something he was holding in his paws. "For the last time, Rev!!!" Tech told him, getting more and more annoyed. "It's nothing!!!" "Sure-looks-like-something!!!" Rev said, zooming around him. "Hey-wait-a-minute..." he slowed as he realized what the coyote was fixing. "It's Lexi's music player," Tech growled, angry that Rev had interfered. She'd broken it a few days ago and was devastated. The roadrunner's eyes widened in realization. "Oh-right," he said softly. "Why-aren't-you-fixing-this-in-the-lab?" Rev inquired. "I...I want to give this to Lexi as soon as possible." Tech stuttered. "I know she really wants this back and I..." he stopped as Rev snickered. "SHUT UP!!!" the canine shouted, angry at Rev's reaction. "It-doesn't-matter-how-soon-you-give-it-to-her-Tech." he said playfully. "After-all-everyone-knows-she-doesn't-feel-for-you-the-way-you..." "Would you just SHUT UP?!?" Tech shouted. He instantly regretted it. Rev "Oh, don't look at me that way!!!" Tech snarled harshly. Rev suddenly gave him a sad look. Normally, Rev depressed would have made anyone, even Duck, melt, but Tech was in no mood. "Maybe if you didn't flap that big beak of your so often I wouldn't have to tell you off so often!!!" Rev looked shocked, then lost it. If there was one thing he hated, it was being made to shut up. In a instant, the boiling mad roadrunner lunged at Tech.

And then, of course, they had to wake the others and draw their attention to their argument. And then he'd almost gone completely feral on Ace, one of his best friends. Why'd I have to be so stupid? Normally he could stand being made fun of. When you live with Duck, you almost have to be immune to those kinds of things. And he knew he could have a short temper, especially with Rev and the "d" word. He just couldn't stand being made fun of in front of...her. Oh god, did I just think that? He didn't want to think that. He wanted to get that driven out of his head every time he thought it, which was actually quite often. Ever since their little "adventure" with Deuce, things have definitely changed since their old days back on Acmetropolis. They couldn't leave the headquarters without using space suits. Zadavia no longer checks in on them every once in a while, and they had the power to go anywhere in the universe they wanted. The battle with Deuce and his robot army changed them too. They themselves had a sort of robot army with Tweetums' servant bots. Optimatus joined them in that battle too, giving them a new ally. And of course, Ace's final encounter with Deuce. How he used almost all his strength to drive Deuce off of Blanc, and Ace had collapsed as soon as he, Lexi, Duck found him. He couldn't drive out what happened that day; Lexi's voice calling out Ace's name, the passion in which she ran to hug him with, the disarray of her blonde hair, the tears running from her beautiful jade green eyes.... Oh god, did I just... never mind. The lab seemed to suddenly get darker as he thought this over. The shadows seemed to get bigger, and the small lights were becoming dimmer. Was the light really fading from the room, or was it because Tech felt his eyelids begin to close? As much as he want to stay up and work on another invention like he had told the others, he admitted that it was getting late. Reluctantly, he sat, folded his arms on the table, and closed his eyes. Why bother going to his bedroom? No doubt he would wake up early in the morning, itching to work on something. And it would only add to the troubles he had if he met the others on the way out of the lab. Tech yawned and began to drift off as the confusing thoughts rushed through his head. Especially when Lexi's face rushed through and popped up more often than the others. Her enraged expression when he harmed Ace... He wasn't ready to think about her now.
As sleep claimed the genius, three figures stood in the shadows of the lab watching him. One had on a long cloak and wore a sort of device for the eyes. Another was a rather short bodied-person wearing some form of armor. The man in the center of the other two was smiling menacingly, as if he had a knowledge of something that no one else did. He wore a green robe and had long hair that fell to his shoulders. For a few minutes, the three waited until they were positive that Tech had fallen completely asleep. Still in the dark, the man surveyed the sleeping anthro. The darkness seemed to almost expel from him and the two figures beside him. The shadows danced around them, merely showing off the frames of their bodies. "Tech E. Coyote," he said softly, almost in a whisper. "We finally meet. What an honor it is for me to finally meet one of the 'Guardians of the Universe.'" The man stopped, chuckling to himself softly. "However," he continued, addressing the sleeping coyote again, "I'm afraid that this meeting won't be as much of a pleasure for you as it will be for me." Turning to the short figure, the man spoke one word. "Now." "With pleasure," the short figure cackled, steeping out of the shadows. Once in the light, the figure could be seen holding a menacing looking weapon. "Sweet dreams," the figure cackled and aimed the weapon at the unconscious coyote. \/ Yeah. "What the hell" must be my favorite phrase of the week or something.
Wowsas! Tech and Rev were really at it there! Who are those mysterious men then? And what are they gonna do to Tech?! Interesting post S2 fic here z_s! Get up the next part soon!
Wow! I read this story on FF.net and I love it so far! You had to put a cliffhanger there didn't you!? Out of all the places, you put it there! Put chapter 2 up soon!
Thanks for the comments! I had a feeling j00s would like a Texi, KJ. Almost makes it worth the write. Anyways, chappie 2 is kinda long, so here's the link. Parasite 2 And to take a break from that, I have comic relief.
Chapter 3
Tech's lab. Duck and Slam are sneaking in to marvel at the SIUTCPTADAT.
Slam: Geojmdf?
Duck: C'mon, Slam! Don't you wish to be glomped by fangirls and idolized every waking moment of your life?
Slam:
Duck: Oh come on! You'll love it! Watch. pushes button on SIUTCPTADAT. The familiar wormhole begins to open
Tech: Well, um, good thing I locked that invention in my lab. At least now everything's back to normal.
Lexi: You can say that again...... hey, what the...
They spot Ace and Slam gagged with socks and carried off by their fangirls
Tech/Rev/Lexi:
Following suit is Duck wearing a huge crown being carried in a huge throne. All the Duckies are supporting the chair and walking around with it on their backs. They stop for a rest.
Duck: HEY!!! MOVE IT PPL!!! This chair isn't gunna move itself, y'know!
Duckies: Yes, sir Duck!!! *resume carrying*
Tech/Rev/Lexi:
The End. And can you believe I never got a title for it. Oh well.
For some reason i get an error when i try that link z_s? I'll try it again later, but the attack of the Duckies, Slammers and Acers was funny! Clever Duck figured a way to put his fans to good use! He! He!
Regarding the story: -BV and Mastermind back? Oh noes!!!! -Tech going to the 'dark side', AHHHHHHHH NOOOOO!!!!! -And Tech in that outfit from Music Villian, -melts-.
As you can probably tell, I LUVED THE 2ND CHAPTER!!!!!! Great story you got there!!!
Yep, link works now. Thanks. This chapter certainly brought up an interesting turn in events for Tech! Now he's abandoning the Loonatics? That seems quite a drastic move, but i'm interested to see what he'll do next on his own, coz Tech's just hot when he goes lonewolf-style!
Well first of all, your writing definitely does NOT suck. You put just the right amount of emotional tension in your stories to make it very effective emotionally without being over the top. And naturally I loved it when Rev tried to defend Tech's honor in the 2nd story. In fact, you inspire me to write. Kudos! :D
Tee hee hee! Ace and Slam are gagged with socks. That just rocks my socks. And Duck's resourcefulness does come in use with the fangirls. And to tell you the truth, since I'm a Devam, I was one of the fan-girls to glomp Slam and Duck.
