What Could Have Been...

Skifox · Frelengian

What did you expect? Being mean to a chibi is unforgivable (unless you give him quadruple love later)! ;)

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

This is blackmail... XD

If I do... do I get Chibi Ace back?

Skifox · Frelengian

I'll convince Rev to give ChibiAce back if you promise to love on ChibiTech any time he wants you to and admit that you might, on some level, love Tech a little bit.

Siamese712 · I blamed it on the dog...

So...kaejae When will the next part be up? confused

I'm mainly a Lexi&Ace fan but this story has peeked my interest.

zadavias_spirit · Out of This World

Why is it that the fanfcition.net version of this gets updated less than this? Not that I mind; we kinda' get a sneak preview!!!
I'm mostly Duxi, with Texi about fourth on my list of fav. pairings making it about 5% of my support. But I love this!!!

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

I tend to forget 'cause I had assignments get in the way XD

Plus, I get lazy in reformatting stuff for ff.net LOL!

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

Oh man... It's been a while since I updated this, hasn't it? Heh, but not to worry, chapter 4 has already been started! :D There was also the trouble of deciding where to end off this chappie...

I present y'all, chapter 3! Man, this is one LONG booger. I have to do this in two posts, because it's too long and dialogue heavy :3

Chapter Three: Grand Theft Love Note

Tech sat quietly in his lab, contemplating over his actions from earlier. He began working on a few gadgets that he had started on a while back to keep his mind distracted from the situation. Unfortunately that wasn’t enough as his train of thought managed to find its way back to focusing on Lexi.

Tech, what’s gotten into you? You’re not behaving rationally. How could you have kissed her? He thought to himself as he put his head down on his workspace. The stress had taken its toll on his energy level. His eyelids began to feel heavy and he was ready to doze off – until he heard a knock on his door.

“Tech?”

His eyes widened. It was Lexi’s voice. Lexi? Now what am I going to say?

“Tech, are you in there?”

He cleared his throat and put his glasses on, “Yes.”

There was a short silence.

“Can I come in?”

I suppose she’s ready to let me have an ear full. He sighed and turned to input the access code onto the keypad, returning quickly to where he was seated.

Lexi stood by the doorframe, and watched Tech continue to work on a few inventions.

“I understand that you’re probably mad,” he started, as he fiddled around with a trinket, trying to avoid eye contact.

“Mad?” Lexi raised an eyebrow.

“Yes, mad.” He confirmed. “You did seem upset when we last parted.”

“Tech, look at me.” She put her hands on her hips, “Do I look upset?”

Tech froze, and noticed that Lexi’s voice had a certain ambitious tone to it. He put the device he was working on onto a shelf that held the rest of his incomplete works and then turned to face Lexi. She was out of her uniform, and something more casual that consisted a pair of snug fitting jeans and a strapless pink shirt. He opened his mouth to speak, but was quite taken back by Lexi’s appearance.

“I didn’t think so.” She smirked as she took a seat on his workspace.

“What’s going on?” Tech rose from his chair, only to have Lexi playfully push him back down.

“Don’t play dumb Tech,” she tapped his nose and removed his glasses, setting them on the workbench before taking a seat on his lap, “You’re a genius, I’m sure you can figure it out.”

“I’m being…” he trailed off as he felt her soft lips kiss his neck, “…serious.”

“Oh yeah?” She stopped and played with his hair, “So am I, hot stuff.”

“Wait,” Tech did a double take at the bunny, “What did you just call me?”

Lexi gave Tech a smug grin before planting her lips onto his. He remained still for a few seconds, before pulling away from the kiss.

“Lexi, we can’t do this.”

“Sure we can.” she put her arms around him, “Stop playing so safe.”

“But, you? And Ace?”

“What about Ace?” she shrugged and proceeded to lock lips with the coyote yet again.

He knew he should have pulled away, but he did otherwise by wrapping his arms around her petite figure.

“Yes. What about Ace?”

Tech rapidly pulled away from Lexi and jumped to his feet, letting the bunny fall to the floor. He looked to the doorway to find Ace leaning against the frame, expressionless before stepping into the lab.

“Busy wit’ experimentin’ I see?” Ace coldly commented.

“Chief, I-” Tech started.

“Don’t ‘chief’ me,” Ace shot back angrily, lunging at Tech.

“Ace, no!” Lexi shouted as the two fell to the floor.

Ace had the coyote pinned down to the floor, both hands tightly clasped around Tech’s neck

“Ya know Tech, I didn’t think ya’d be one to do ‘dis!” he added more pressure onto his grip.

“Ace… please…” Tech tried to break free, but his efforts were rendered useless. Ace was obviously the stronger one when it came to hand-to-hand combat.

“I can’t… breathe…” the words barely escaped his lips.

Ace growled, but he continued to strangle the coyote, “Dats da point!”

“I’m… sorry… Ace…” Tech continued to struggle free.

“It’s a lil’ too late for apologies!”

Tech began to feel light-headed, as his airway remained blocked off by Ace’s grip. He looked to Lexi, who simply stood and watched. He felt his body give up and go limp and with one last breath…

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

Tech shot up from his seat, gasping for air.

It was only a dream. He ran a hand through his hair and began to pace back and forth. Okay Tech. You’re going to have to explain yourself to Lexi, and maybe even Ace. He sighed to himself. But how?

He stopped immediately in his tracks as soon as an idea hit.

“I’ve got it!” Tech opened up a drawer and took out a blank sheet of paper and a pen from his stationary holder. He sat down and sighed before proceeding, “Here it goes.”

‘Dear Lexi,’ he began to write as he stifled a laugh. I can’t believe I’m doing this.

-----
After about an hour of writing, Tech finished his note.

“Letter writing is therapeutic.” He signed the letter, “Now to put this away where no one else can find it.”

Tech exited the lab and headed to his room to stash away the letter. On his way, he passed by Lexi’s quarters. He stopped right in front of her door and stared at it blankly for a few seconds. He let out a heavy sigh and held the sheet to the door.

“If only you knew…” As he removed his hand from the door, the letter slipped from his grasp and slid under the door into Lexi’s quarters.

“No!” Tech scrambled down to the floor, eyeing the paper through the slit. He pulled at his hair in frustration, angry at himself for being so careless. You just HAD to stop here.

He rose to his feet and frantically paced around. Think Tech! I can’t let her see the note!

A small grin slid across Tech’s face as he managed to come up with an idea. No one’s here. I can just go in and out easily, and nobody will notice! His hands began to glow green as he effortlessly manipulated the metal door to slide open. Bingo. Tech bent down and snatched the paper off the floor.

“Gotcha! Thought you could escape me huh?” He jested to the inanimate object, followed by a small chuckle.

“Escape? Tech, I think you’re the one avoiding me.”

Tech stood upright and found himself face-to-face with a not-so-amused Lexi. He felt his heart skip a beat as he was completely startled by her presence.

“I don’t know what’s going on here, but how dare you break into my room!?” She scolded.

“I thought you weren’t here,” Tech fumbled around with the letter in his hands.

“And I suppose that makes it even better to break in and enter?” Lexi rolled her eyes sarcastically.

“Yes- I mean no! It’s not okay, I’m sorry! I can explain Lexi, really I can-”

“You better Tech. You better have a decent explanation for all of this! I’m not talking only about what happened now, but for your outburst earlier and for what you did in the med-lab!”

“ ‘Ey guys! We’re back!” Ace’s voice echoed through the corridor.

Tech look down sheepishly at the letter and quickly crumpled it into his pocket.

“You owe me an explanation and you better have it soon.” Lexi poked a finger at his chest, “Otherwise we’re going to Zadavia.”

Rev zipped over to where Tech and Lexi were and held up two brown paper bags, “We-came-back-as-soon-as-we-could. We-didn’t-want-you-guys-to-go-hungry.”

“Plus, Slam got us kicked out.” Ace stepped in, “Again.”

The voices of Danger and Slam could be heard from all the way in the lounge.

“Slam, that is absolutely the last time I eat out with you, anywhere! I simply refuse to get banned from another restaurant because you couldn’t control your appetite!”

“But…”

“No buts!”

“It was a buffet!” Slam growled.

Ace and Rev simultaneously sighed.

“So we just got ya some fast food, hope ya don’t mind,” Ace grinned.

“Thanks,” Lexi took the bag from Rev and quickly returned to her room. Her body language obviously showed that she didn’t want to be disturbed.

Rev raised an eyebrow, “What’s-wrong-with-her?”

“Yeah, she obviously looks mad,” Ace added, “What happened while we were out?”

“It’s a long story chief,” Tech sighed.

“Ya wanna share?”

“Not really, all in all, it’s really my fault that she’s upset.”

“I see.” Ace paused, “Maybe I should go talk to her.”

“No,” Tech blurted.

Ace raised an eyebrow, “No?”

“We’ll work something out,” Tech assured, “She just needs to be left alone for a while.”

“You-look-like-you-can-use-some-food-and-some-relaxation,” Rev shoved the bag into the coyote’s hands, “here-eat!”

“I’m not hungry Rev.” Tech pushed the bag back.

Ace and Rev looked at each other and then back at Tech.

“What? I’ll eat, but later. Just set it in the fridge with my name on it so that Slam won’t take it.”

“Whatever-you-say-pal!” Rev dashed to the kitchen to set the food away.

Ace looked to Tech, “Rev’s right, ya need some relaxation.”

“Yeah, that’s it,” Tech nodded in agreement, “I think I’ll get some shut-eye right about now.”

“Bu-”

“G’night Ace!” Tech quickly set off to his quarters.

“‘Eh, g’night Tech?” Ace scratched his head, but Tech was already gone.

-----
Tech lay on his side, staring at the letter he had written.

“That was too close,” he said to himself, before tucking it into the nightstand drawer.

Muahaha! Questions? Comments? Mauls?

Siamese712 · I blamed it on the dog...

OMG...Techs dream is making me wounder. What will Ace do when he fined out. And what did Tech wright in that note?
Oh next chappie plesy

doggirl2772 · Out of This World

Oh gawd that was AWSOME!!!!! Hahaha I luved the dream, it was sooooo cool!!

And, I'm sorry Tech, but, I was rooting for Ace in the dream. YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE MESSED WITH HIS GIRL!!! Thank gawd it was just a dream though. Uh oh, -bricked by thousands of techies- I said I was sorry!

Yay!! I cant wait of the nxt chappie! This is awsome so far!!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

EEEEEE!!! Is that saucy stuff or what?! Tee hee! Funny how dreams drastically differ from reality, but in a believable way! He! He! And Lexi called Tech "hot stuff" (Even if it was just in his dream.)!

I'm so curious about what Tech 's written in that letter now! I must know! Rather clumsy of him to drop it accidentally into Lexi's room!

It's great you finally updated this KJ. Please don't keep us waiting too long for chapter 4! I'm addicted to the scandalousness of this story!

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

Hehe! Thanks all! I'm sure you're all itching to find out what's in that letter ^__^ but you're going to have to wait for the next update!

Ayelet_Ripley · Frelengian

I'm such a dumbass, I made my eyes bleed by reading the small and glowy text here, while I could've copy-pasted it into Word. I was too taken over by excitement to think of that!

Oh, LU. You're bad for my health and sanity!

Awesome chapter! I love how in character all of them are (except for the dream part, where Lexi's behavior made me raise an eyebrow, but dreams don't match reality so it's perfect. Lexi's willingness might be Tech's fantasy or hidden desire :3 'Yotie likes dominant femmes, eh?).

Yeah, I AM curious about what's in the letter, but I'm a lot more curious to see where's this going! Don't be upset with Tech, Lexi! ;_;
Poor tech, I actually feel sorry for him...

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

LAWLZ! Yais, when I was writing out that scene, there were much facepalming on my part, only to realize -- Hey, it's a dream, all sorts of crazy stuffs happen!

But I thought 'yoties were in control! XD!!!

I pity Tech, but it's so much fun putting him through this! >:D

Akira_Cat · Your local cat

Wow! Great story so far Kaejae! aww

I love the detail on this. And poor Tech! He seems to be so nervous when it comes to romance in all of our fan fics! But I like the way this story is going Kaejae!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

I always get the 'in control of everything but his emotions' vibe from Tech! Tee hee! Isn't that how most lab-bound geeks are?

Ayelet_Ripley · Frelengian

And isn't that what's adorable about them? :3

I'm pretty sure Tech knows what he wants and what he likes, but is just too afraid to show it because he has no idea how to move. And of course, being a genius he doesn't want to come out as dumb. And emotions make everyone look dumb, no matter how 'experienced' one is!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

So true Ayelet. Tech isn't one that likes to make mistakes of any kind, and emotional issues are so easy to make mistakes in! *Sigh* That does make him more adorable! Tee hee!

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

I suppose it's that stereotypical geek image we've superimposed onto Tech! LOL!!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

You mean you think Tech actually isn't so geeky afterall KJ? Ha! I knew it! You think he's hot instead don't you?! Ha!

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

Gaaaah! Stop twisting my wordz around! Or I'll revert to the way of... Teh Anti-Tech!

Black Oracle · Black Hole Survivor

Nooo! You can't! Don't deny yourself the pleasure of admiring Tech! We've been thru' all that already!

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

Muahahaha! XD

Skifox · Frelengian

Don't worry, B_O. She's already admitted she likes Tech, and there's no such thing as a 'former Techie'. She's just trying to ruffle your feathers. ;P

Anyhoo, late response. Good stuff as always. The dream sequence was a neat twist. Yay for getting a glimpse of Tech's fantasies (and fears).

That wasn't quite the response I was expecting from Lexi considering how the last chapter ended, even if he did sneak into her room. How did she not notice that he was retrieving something? It was a good source of tension, though.

I really wanted to smack Lexi when she threatened to bring in Zadavia. She's their boss, not their mother! It made Lexi seem so... childish. You're both 20+ fecking years old! Don't you have enough maturity to deal with this yourself?!

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

LAWLZ. B_O has feathers? XD

Lexi didn't notice because Tech was quick, silent and deadly... like a ninja! Or a fart. :D

And we've got to speed up Tech's explanantion somehow ;)

Ayelet_Ripley · Frelengian

Fart? *ROFL*
I better have misread that, meanie! *shakes fist at Kaejae*

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

Nope, you read that perfectly! :D

Skifox · Frelengian

Tech: *attacks Kaejae in a silent but deadly manner*

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

OMG! TECH FARTED! GROOOSS!

*dies from teh stench*

Ayelet_Ripley · Frelengian

Great timing there girl...my dog's been releasing gas all day today, so this has an effect on me now...XD

Skifox · Frelengian

Tech and Ayelet's dog: We fart in your general directions! XP

kaejae · LUO's Next Top Poser

*roffle* Why do I see Tech blaming the dog for his flatulence?
