Siamese712 · I blamed it on the dog...

I liked your last chapter. Lexi, always quick thinking. Heehee, It looked as if Ace mite have almost spilled the beans there.

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Thanks Siamese,

I had actually had a go at my sister for talkiing in her sleep and keeping me up half the night (Strange though, coz her room is divided by our bathroom?!)
So I guess thats where I got Lexi's comment from!

And after watching: The fall of Blanc (I think!?) You hear the team snoring (except from Lexi) so I decided to incorporate it in!

Anyway, I'll try and update soon!

Thanks for the comments!

I am writing the next chapter as we speak, but, I'll probably wait untill I've got the next chapter after that written, so I can stay ahead and not keep you guys waiting too long!

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

Take your time, PG. You need some sugar to get your brain working. Here. Have a cookie. Not really. Don't EVER try my cooking. Besides, I don't even know how to cook. confused

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Ok, after much anticipation from people at FanFiction.net and LUO, I have updated, with the other half of the cliff-hanger!!!!

Completely disregarding the threat Colossus was to her; Lexi immediately ran to the side of the bridge and looked down with a mixture of worry and fear for Ace.

Peering down carefully into the murky bay-water, Lexi could just make out the tips of Ace’s ears as he sank in the water.

She noticed the air-bubbles emerging and popping at the surface of the bay.

She knew that if he could’ve, Ace would’ve swum up by now.

Looking for advice she turned her head back to her Team-mates who stood struggling, trying to apprehend Colossus.

Tech noticed her worried gaze. Her eyes lining with tears, her chest inflating rapidly as she hyperventilated. Her body was tensed and she looked like she was struggling to keep herself from passing out.

Bracing himself from the strength and weight of Colossus, Tech called out to Lexi, his voice growling in hatred of their new found foe. “Go!”

Lexi didn’t even hesitate, not looking back, not looking down; she dived off the edge of the bridge, her ears and ribbon flapping as the breeze swept by her tensed but relaxed body.

The rain that was now falling, created ripples that seemed to dance in front of her eyes, making her slightly bewildered and dizzy.

Ignoring this she stayed focussed; she had to find him, quickly and carefully. She hit the cold water almost silently, the force of her dive, surging her thought the ever darkening depths of the bay.

She evaded the freezing, and dangerous water temperature she was exposing herself to as she searched for one person in particular.

Small particles and air-bubbles floated upwards through the cloudy water and Lexi began to wonder if she would ever find Ace.

Almost making her lose the oxygen she was holding in, Lexi jumped as something grabbed her wrist. On instinct, she tried to pull away, but to no avail, she spun herself around in the water, wondering how easy it would be to beat up the thing under-water. Her impending thoughts were disregarded however, as she was met with the sight of Ace. He looked like he needed to go up for air in a matter of moments and signalled to Lexi that that was what they needed to do.

Still clutching Lexi’s wrist, Ace swam quickly though the water, with Lexi an arm’s length behind. He broke the surface, taking in a lungful of air as he did. It felt amazing; to come so close to the end and to oppose the reason you were to lose your life. Ace smiled as he felt the muscles in his lungs open up, and allow the life-giving gas to pass through them.

Next to him, Lexi too broke the surface, and rubbed her eyes to remove the dirty water from them.

“Lex, are you okay?” Ace asked as he tread water, panting as he did so.

“Am I okay, Ace you could’ve been killed!” Lexi began to shout and Ace looked slightly taken aback.

“Lexi I…”

“Don’t even start that, why did you do that?”

“Lex, he was a big guy, he could’ve killed you!” Ace calmed down, he knew she would understand, at least he hoped.

“Me! What about you?” Lexi was still shouting and started thrashing in the water. “What do you think I would’ve done if something happened to you?”

“Not what you just did!” Ace’s voice was laced with authority as he grabbed hold of Lexi’s shoulders and wrapped his arms around her.

Still furious, Lexi looked at Ace. He had pulled her right against him. “What are you doing?”

“Keeping us warm. It’s dangerous in this water.” Ace glared at Lexi. “…And, with you thrashing around like that, you’re gonna lose energy.”

Lexi’s glare softened as she realised this, shouldn’t she be excited right now? Being this close to him, again?

“Thanks.”

Ace smiled. “No. I should be the one thanking you. You saved my life comin’ down here!”

“But you were fine when I found you, you were conscious?”

“Yeah, I have no idea what happened, but I actually thought he must’ve hit you down as well, that’s why I pulled you up so quickly.”

“Oh.” Lexi looked down, as if in guilt.

“Thanks, for everything then, you saved me, a lot.”

“Don’t worry about it, that’s what team-mates do, but we’re a little past that!” Ace smiled and moved his head and kissed Lexi, but he pulled away suddenly.

“Lexi, you’re freezing, you need to get home!” He looked concerned, Lexi’s smile slowly withered away as she realised he was right, she was cold, shivering to be accurate.

As if on cue, the two wet bunnies were teleported to the top of the bridge by Duck, where they were met with the sight of a tired looking team, a completely wrecked road, a pile of shattered cars and a trust-up, angry-looking Colossus.

“Woah-Ace-are-you-okay?-you-were-just-completely-knocked-off-the-bridge!-and-Lexi-that-was-so-cool-the-way-you-just-dived-in-like-that-so-you-two-are-ok-that’s-totally-sweet-sweet-sweet!”

“Err, yeah that’s great Rev!” Ace said slowly, as he tried to work out what his avian friend just said.

“But we should probably get home; we can let the cops take this guy to the pokey.” Ace said, rather cheerfully, his teeth chattered slightly as he spoke. That happening, reminded him of Lexi, who stood with her arms crossed over her chest in an attempt to keep herself warm.

“We should probably get Lex checked out.” He turned his attention to Tech as he said this.

A bit of a strange ending to a chapter, and quite dramatic at parts but, hey, it’s a romance FanFic!

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Thanks for the comments guys!

I'll have the next chapter written soon, I hope!

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Sorry for the Delay on the next chapter!

I want to get it posted as much as I'm sure some of you want to read it!

...But with Christmas around the corner, and Homework...and Me constantly reading The Twilight Books (Partially for language and structure ideas) I'm a bit behind!!!

I have got a rough outline to the new chapter, but I'm currently editing it as I'm not completely satisfied with it!

I'm sure some of you can relate to me in that prospect. I'll ty and get it uploaded ASAP.

But, for now. To all of you who have been patient and kindly reveiwing either here, or on FF.Net, I greatly appreciate it. I makes me feel really happy and makes my cheeks hurt for how big I smile at your kind comments!

Thanks for that guys! (Even though, half the time I swear I look like an idiot, with my goofy smile, staring down at my laptop in the lounge-room. But oh well!)

Thanks for the support. You can expect another chapter from me soon. (I think! weirdface

)

lilypupu123 · Beast

Relax, take you time. I probably won't have my chapter up till around Dec! Writer's block sucks...

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

I know!

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Hey everyone.

Considering the next chapter is takng me ages to write, I decided to leave a small teaser, so you can at least read some of it, and try and work out what might happen!

Lexi laughed. “I’ll be fine Ace, I’m a big girl!”

Ace smiled and stood up. “Fine then.” He started towards the bedroom door, Lexi following behind. He turned around abruptly and looked at her. He smiled and pulled her towards him, pressing is lips against hers. He felt her smile as he pulled away. “Remember.” He pointed at his wrist communicator. “…call if there’s any trouble.”

“I promise.” Lexi smiled, and Ace left, the automatic doors closing behind him, Leaving Lexi home-alone.

lilypupu123 · Beast

Something's going to happen to Lexi, I just know it!!!

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

I agree with lily. Something's gonna happen. Nice teaser. Defiantely got me teased.

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Well I finally Updated!

I'll have to put this chapter up in two parts, it's too long to fit here!

Back at HQ, Tech had suggested to Lexi to take a bath and try and warm herself up, and to tell him if she got cold or felt sick. She complied, and while she was occupied, the rest of the team sat in the main-room, reflecting on the mission they just had, like they usually did. “So, what exactly happened?” Duck looked at Ace and gestured his head towards the Bathroom where Lexi was.

Ace suddenly froze up. Does he know what we did? Does he know what happened last night?

Tech noticed Ace’s strange behaviour, combined with what had happened that morning, made him slightly suspicious. He knew they went on a date the previous night, and he had seen Lexi kiss Ace, something which he hadn’t objected to. Which was understandable, they had probably locked lips already, that and Lexi was hot, in his opinion. But something didn’t seem right; Lexi staying totally silent when he had asked them why they had both got up at the same time, then coming up with quite a…interesting excuse. Not to mention Lexi diving into the freezing bay-water earlier, without a second thought for her own safety. And now, Ace had frozen up after Duck had asked him a simple question, the Scientist, though he wasn’t an expert in the love-field, knew Ace had something to hide, something Tech knew he would probably find out. Soon.

“Umm-Ace?” Rev was looking straight at Ace, he too noticed his strange behaviour, not in as much detail as Tech, but, being quite smart too, Rev also was slightly suspicious over Ace.

Suddenly Ace came back to them; he slightly jumped upon seeing the Roadrunner’s quizzical stare and wondered what they though of his ‘Possum-like’ behaviour.

“What do you mean Duck?” Ace asked, slightly coldly. I can’t let them find out. Not yet. “I mean, when Lex just dived off like that! She must’ve been pretty darn worried.”

“Wow Duck, I’ve never known you to be so empathetic. I was and am fine. I think I was only unconscious for a few seconds. But when I saw her down there too I thought Colossus had hit her down there as well.” Ace answered this more calmly, besides, he was telling the truth.

“Why were you so worried about her?”

“Better question than that Duck,” Tech turned his head from Duck to Ace. “…Why’d you push Lex back like that, why did YOU take the hit for her?”

All eyes now turned to their leader, who gave Tech a cold glare before answering. “Damn it Tech! What would you’ve done? We all know she’s not as strong as us, that blow could’ve killed her! I had to take that hit, for her. I’m okay, but she might not have been if I hadn’t done that!”

Listening to the conversation with the help of her amplified hearing, Lexi sighed. Not from relief, not from anger. She was glad Ace hadn’t told them what they had done, they shouldn’t know, they didn’t need to know. Hearing what Ace had just said, well, more shouted, made Lexi feel happy but nervous at the same time. Happy, because she knew he meant what he said, and he had really done it as an act to save her life, he was willing to get himself hurt or even killed for her. But part of her felt nervous. She had never heard Ace shout like that, especially not at one of his friends. And she was worried that Tech might have figured it out, and upon getting no-where with Ace, interrogated her instead. Would she be able to lie to him? Or would she blow their secret? Would the others get angry, at Ace, or even her?

Getting out of the bath and wrapping herself up with a towel, Lexi heard footsteps approaching the Bathroom, jumping at the possible thought of one of them walking in on her, Lexi checked to see if the door was locked. She let out a relieved sigh when she realised it was. She started to get changed back into her uniform, moments later she heard a knock, looking down at herself; She was practically dressed but was still without her shirt, she then looked back at the door, Lexi knew she shouldn’t really answer it. “I’m not decent!” She called out, before slapping her hand over her mouth after she realised what she had said.

She heard the person on the person on the other side shuffle uncomfortably and stutter before answering. “Sorry, err…”

It was Duck, trying to get his answer straight, after hearing the…strange answer from the other side of the Bathroom door.

Lexi sighed and rolled her eyes, thankful that the usual big-headed water-fowl hadn’t spat out an uncomfortable comment at her answer. She quickly dressed and prepared to leave.

After collecting himself and deciding to wait until she was with him to talk to Lexi, Duck leant against the Bathroom door. He jumped as the two thick, steel doors slid towards the door-frame, a rush of warm-humid air emerging as the dumbfounded Duck collected himself after falling to the ground at Lexi’s feet. She too had jumped in surprise, but simply looked down at him and giggled. Duck scowled and muttered something that, surprisingly Lexi didn’t catch, He stood up heroically in an attempt to regain is composure. Lexi rolled her eyes and headed towards her room.

While Lexi sorted out some things she had brought back from the Bathroom, Duck stood uncomfortably at the door. Lexi glanced up at him before sighing. “You know you can come in.”

Duck looked around before entering. Like Ace, he took in his surroundings, not in too much detail as Lexi was there and he didn’t want to be perceived as a snoop.

Lexi sat down on her hammock and looked at Duck questionably. “So…What was that you were gonna ask me?”

Duck looked at her, dumbfounded. “What?”

“You know, in the bathroom, me in there, you outside. Remember?”

“Oh! Right, I thought you were implying something else.” Duck laughed as he said this.

Lexi gave him a confused, but comical look and she giggled slightly. “Yeah, I’m taken Duck.”

He smiled and took a step forward. “We’re gonna go out for dinner.”

“Are we?” Lexi replied, surprised. They didn’t usually go out for dinner; they usually made something or ordered in. “What’s the occasion?”

“Nothin’ really, we just thought it would be cool.”

Lexi half smiled at this, and shivered slightly. “I think it’ll have to be a guy’s night out. I’m still a bit cold from my ‘dip in the bay.’”

Duck looked a bit surprised but nodded and left.

Lexi sighed and fell back against her hammock. Shutting her eyes, she heard the confused voices of her team-mates. She sighed and new what would come. Ace would knock on her door and convince her to come while she would feel guilty for denying the request. As if on cue, the firm knock of Ace on her door woke her from her attempted-rest.

“Lex, can I come in?” Ace’s voice sounded against the door.

“Yeah, sure.” Lexi sat up and collected herself. Ace came in and sat himself next to her. “What’s wrong?” He asked. Lexi rolled her eyes and smiled at him.

“I’m just a bit cold. You guys go out, be free from all fetters of femininity!” She replied cheerfully. Ace smiled. “We try to block it out anyway!”

Lexi giggled and punched him lightly on the arm. “You guys go, I’ll be fine here.”

Ace raised an eyebrow and this time, seemed concerned. “Are you sure you’ll be okay. We could all stay in…or one of us could stay home with you?”

Lexi laughed. “I’ll be fine Ace, I’m a big girl!”

Ace smiled and stood up. “Fine then.” He started towards the bedroom door, Lexi following behind. He turned around abruptly and looked at her. He smiled and pulled her towards him, pressing is lips against hers. He felt her smile as he pulled away. “Remember.” He pointed at his wrist communicator. “…call if there’s any trouble.”

“I promise.” Lexi smiled, and Ace left, the automatic doors closing behind him, Leaving Lexi home-alone.--

“So, why’d Lexi stay home?” Tech asked, not looking up from the menu he was reading.

The 5 of the Loonatics had come to a popular restaurant near to the tower. Ace had convinced them that they had to eat somewhere close by, since they walked over, they didn’t want to delay their return, or Lexi if she called to say that she was in trouble.

“She was still cold from the Bay-incident.” Duck said this monotonly and didn’t look up from his menu.

Ace looked up from his menu and stared blankly into the centre of their rounded table. “Do you think Lexi’ll be okay?”

The rest of the team looked up at him, “She’ll be fine!” They all said in unison, though, slightly louder than they had intended, as they now stared guiltily at the crowd of people who now stared at them. Each Loonatic grinned sheepishly before diving back into their menus to hide their embarrassment, and their faces if any of the media happened to be close by.

“You’re all despicable.” Duck murmured, before Slam roughly stepped on his foot. “Oww!” Duck yelped, “What did I say?”--

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Lexi sighed as she flopped back onto the couch, waiting for her food to cook in the oven.

Glancing over to her left, Lexi reluctantly picked up the TV remote. Flipping through the channels, something caught Lexi’s eye, and she immediately scrolled back through the channels and tuned in to the snazzy add that now played.

It showed a new ‘mega structure’ that had apparently just been built in the centre of Acmetropolis. The advertisement showed the grand rooms of a new hotel resort, it was 5 star and all the rooms were marble finished and polished thoroughly. The grand meeting room had a spectacular, glittering chandelier in the centre of the ceiling, and a large stage next to a bar at the front.

It wasn’t necessarily the grand rooms of the beautiful hotel, that caught Lexi’s attention, but more the designer and owner name of the new structure. ‘Le Pew, Magnefique’ Lexi couldn’t control her erupting laughter, being quite fluent in languages, she could, on the spot work out what it translated into: ‘The Magnificent Skunk.’ Lexi stopped her hysterical fit as she, immediately new the owner, even before the man himself appeared on screen, advertising the new resort.

Names of special guests began to list on the screen. Lexi was about to turn of the TV when she froze. The name clearly listed a few rows above the central name. ‘The Loonatics’

Lexi sat silently for a moment, before scowling and turning off the TV. She sat back against the sofa and closed her eyes, only then realising the slightly smoky smell coming from the Kitchen. “Awww, Dang it!” Lexi sighed as she ran to the oven.--

The hours passed as the five males of the team finished their meals and were walking back to HQ.

“We should go to that place more often!” Duck started gleefully. The rest of the team nodded in agreement.

“Yeah, only it was a little too crowded for my liking.” Tech said, slightly grumpily.

Ace chuckled at this, “you really need to get out more, Tech. But Duck’s right, maybe we could go there for Rev’s birthday?” Ace turned back to Rev as he said this.

Upon hearing the words “Rev’s Birthday” The mentioned bird jumped hyperactively and Ace immediately regretted what he had said.

“Oh-yeah-Ace-I-almost-forgot-about-my-own-birthday-which-is-silly-really-but-I-guess-with-the-big-incident-today-it-just-slipped-my-mind-that’s-a-good-offer-though,-I-mean-going-to-the-restaurant,-not-fighting-monsters-and-stuff-all-day-for-my-birthday,-that-would-be-crazy,-I-did-though,-have-another-idea-for-my-birthday,-it’s-tommorrow-so-I-guess-we’ll-have-enough-time-to-plan-for-it!” Rev’s smile grew and grew as he continued his rant, and by the time he was finished, the Loonatics’ let out a sigh of relief when they realised, through Rev’s speech, they had already arrived at the Elevator to the tower.The 5 Loonatics stepped inside the elevator and began their ascent to the top of their home.

Rev, being the fastest had run to the door as soon as their elevator doors had opened. In his fast paced manor, he knocked repeatedly on the door, but no-one answered. He started to get worried, and as soon as the others had caught up to him, he told them what was going on. “Guys-I-think-something’s-wrong-with-Lexi-, she-hasn’t-answered-the-door-yet,-what-if-something-happened-to-her?” Rev seemed very worried.

“Relax Rev, she’s probably just gone to bed, it’s gone 12:00 anyway.” Ace calmly stated. He input the access code and the 5 Loonatics stepped inside.

Immediately, Ace started for Lexi’s room, upon realising no-one was in their main-room. Quietly, so that the others wouldn’t hear and become suspicious, Ace input the access code for Lexi’s room. He quietly and quickly stepped inside and shut the door behind him.

He turned around slowly and made his way over to Lexi’s hammock, but upon listening carefully, heard no breathing. Worriedly he felt around the hammock only to find it empty. Ace stood momentarily, trying to contemplate where she could be, suddenly, realisation hit him, as he remembered how, after their ‘Get-together’ last night, he said that she could sleep in his bed so they could be together.

Ace carefully listened against Lexi’s door; her super-hearing really would’ve come in handy right now. Soon he heard the sounds of 3 doors closing, and someone walking past the door and into the next room.

Almost silently Ace slipped through Lexi’s door and across the corridor into his own. He let out a sigh of relief when he heard her steady breathing, and vaguely saw her form in his bed, her chest rising and falling with every breath. He smiled and turned into his bathroom to clean his teeth and change into is night clothes.

When he was finished, he quietly walked across to the side of the bed that was vacant. The added weight, and slight noise that Lexi’s super hearing picked up, alerted her to the presence of another person.

“Ace?” She mumbled, still tired. She sat up to try and identify the shape of the person or thing that was next to her, ready to fight it if need be.

Ace sat up and greeted her with a kiss, Lexi was still unconvinced as to whether this person was Ace or not, considering that they hadn’t spoken yet. She kept on her guard. Once he pulled away, Ace smiled. “It is me you know.” As if he’d read her mind.

Lexi smiled and shook her head slightly, “Why wouldn’t it be?” And she chuckled at her own stupidity.

“Hey, at least you were being wary.” Ace commented, it seemed as though he was reading her mind like a book.

“Okay, are you developing some new power or something, you seem to know exactly what I’m thinking?”

Ace chuckled. “Maybe, but I feel like we’re closer at the moment.”

“Well, yeah. With all that’s happened the past couple of days, we certainly are.”

“I know that.” Ace became slightly serious now. “But something seems…different, like we’re closer still?”

Lexi giggled and decided to change the subject slightly. “Wow Ace, you’ve finally cracked!”

Ace chuckled at this and playfully pushed her down, while he remained where he was. He was surprised at how easy it was for him to move her; he knew she was the lightest in the team, partially because of the gender difference, but still. “Wow Lexi, you are weak!”

He heard Lexi playfully gasp and then felt her punch him, though it did little harm to him, not that she would ever attempt to hurt him. “Awww, dang it I am.” Lexi smiled.

Ace grinned before turning himself around so that he could face her where she was. He swiftly pinned her shoulders down and raised and eyebrow “Let’s see if you can get out of that.”

Lexi hesitated, thinking, she quickly reached up as far as she could, because of Ace’s hold on her shoulders, and began to tickle him.

Ace however, didn’t even flinch. Lexi frowned and retreated her hands. She frowned slightly. “You’re not ticklish?”

Ace smiled. “No. Reacting to being tickled, is different for some people, it happens because of the body’s reaction to someone, or something else’s touch. The body naturally tenses up, so the movement of someone’s fingers can give a strange sensation, some people throw up, some get angry…some laugh.”

Lexi rolled her eyes, “Great, so you’re a crazy psychic, and now you’ve become amazingly smart. Who are you and what having you done with Ace?”

Ace couldn’t hold in his laughter at her monotone response.

Lexi laughed along too. “Wait, so with all that tickling mumbo-jumbo, how come you don’t react to it and I do?”

Ace smirked. “Because I trust you, and I know you’re not going to hurt me. But thanks for giving me an idea.”

Lexi raised an eyebrow. “Wait what ide…!” Lexi was interrupted as Ace started to tickle her relentlessly.

“Ace! Please....stop...I...can’t....Ace!” Lexi giggled as she tried to catch her breath through her laughter.

Ace smiled as she squirmed around in his grasp. Lexi pulled her legs up to her chest to try and defend her stomach, but she couldn’t help but slightly kick out. Tickling had always been one of her weaknesses.

Ace eventually stopped, and Lexi let out a sigh, and tried to catch her breath, Ace chuckled and lay down next to her.

“…I would’ve pushed you off me, if I was strong enough.” Lexi seemed slightly hurt.

Ace stared up and the ceiling, but felt Lexi look at him, he turned and faced her. Lexi smiled and shuffled closer to him until she could place her head on his chest. He put his arm round her and smiled, he knew she was smiling too. “I love you just the way you are, Lex.”

Haha my cereal is spilled thanks to you. Anywho, good chappy

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Waht did I do? confuse

Alex Bunny · Anthros

awwww thats sweet i luved both of the chappies

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

Ace: Nice job. Hey, girls! Get in here and read PG's new chapter!

*Me and Lexi come in and read the chappy*

Me and Lexi: So romantic. *sighs and faints*

Ace: Romantic chapters make them faint. Now I have to find a way to wake them up.

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Hey guys!

Thanks for reviewing and commenting, or even just reading my latest chapter!

...and I'm sorry the chapter took so long, but with it's size and content, I hope you'll understand.

Anyway, With mention to Rev's Birthday in the last chapter, and the fact that I'm currently writing the chapter after that,

(Coz Christmas break just started here, so I have lots of free-time, apart from Christmas day, obviously)

...But I'm slightly unsure of What each team-member might get Rev as a present, don't worry, I've already worked out what they're gonna do for his Birthday, but I need your help figuring out what each team member (Minus Zadavia, I don't really like her) would give him.

So, you can either suggest something each member would get him, or just say one thing that would be from only one person (e.g. Lexi- A CD of his favourite band). (Write who it would be from and what it is) or you could suggest a present the whole team might get him.

Fictional presents are welcome (As long as you specify what it is and what It does.)

I know it's a strange thing to ask, and you don't have to take part if you don't want to. I just thought it would be cool to receive some story Ideas from you guys!

I wouldn't really count this as a competition, but I think some of the most interesting, and practical ideas would be entered into the story. (If you want, you can even say why you think the present idea you write should be put into the story)

So, I hope this isn't too much to ask of you guys, it's just that I'm a bit stuck, and I thought maybe you giys would like to see your ideas appear in the FanFiction!

So, I shall leave you now to get back to your lives!

...And, if you're taking part, Good Luck, and get thinking!

~PG~

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

Here's my ideas:

From Ace: Sweat pants.
From Lexi: Rev's favourite band in concert on DVD.
From Duck: Tickets to the Mondoball.
From Slam: Free pizza.
From Tech: A book on his ancestors.

The sweat pants thing is kinda weird. But good thinking so far.

From Ace: Sweat pants.
From Lexi: Rev's favourite band in concert on DVD.
From Duck: Tickets to the Mondoball.
From Slam: Free pizza.
From Tech: A book on his ancestors.

No those are pretty good ideas, especially Lexi's present!

Glad you like them. Like I said to you in The Little Pink Plus Sign, my ideas are ones you probably wanna flush down the toilet.

Hmm, very interesting story you've got here, PG. And an Acexi fic. I love it!

I'm so very tired right now (way too much stuff in my personal life), I'm amazed I'm typing anything at the moment. Anyways, I'd like to congratulate you on an exellant story idea and a few more things.

1) You certainly have grown as a writer. Your later chapters are stronger and more descriptive then some of the earlier ones I've found. Great job

2) You've taken the critics you've got and learned from them. One of the best things a writer could do is listen to their audiance and learn from their mistakes. Well done.

3) You've kept the characters 'in-character' yet putting your own little things in as well. I liked the little things like Ace tickling Lexi and Rev being all hyper-active about his birthday.

I can't really think of a critique at the moment so I'll just leave it at that. Please continue this story, though. I'll certianly keep an eye on it.

Also, I agree with most of the things IceGirl said for the presents. But the thing i think Ace might get Rev would be new rocket blades or something like that. Maybe a cupon for ice cream. XD

But anyways, an off topic comment, thanks for reviewing my new oneshots, PG! I'm glad you liked them. biggrin

Doggirl, Thanks so much for revieiwng, you made me smile like an idiot, but who cares! Thanks!

Sorry for the chapter delay, as I've said, I'm writing the next chapter in advance so I can stay one chapter ahead of you guys so there isn't a delay! (How ironic, since there's a delya now hmmmmm...)

Oh well, for all those who might anticipate just a smidge of the next chapter, I've added a small snippet of it here!:

--

Duck roughly stood up, mocking the Canine’s speech with a higher-pitched and slightly babyish version. “I’ll be just fine with the bag I have, thank you very much! I’m not weak, I mean, it’s not like I’m Lexi!”

Ace and the rest of the team glared at Duck, before pointing to Lexi, who stood with her arms crossed, obviously angry, behind Duck.

“What was that you said Duck?”

Duck laughed nervously before hiding behind Ace, who too was not impressed. Lexi rolled her eyes. “Don’t worry guys, with luck he’ll be eaten by a bear while we’re gone.”

--I'll try to update soon!~PG~

Siamese712 · I blamed it on the dog...

Duck is so troublesome!

lovein' it!

IceGirl2772 · Loonatic

Ooooh. Duck is so dead!

PurpleGirly · Out of This World

Well I've go another long chapter here for you all!

There's one more chapter before the presents will have to be added in, so get your thinking caps on, and so will I!

Chapter....12!

Something seemed different.

Well at least that’s what Lexi thought. She felt disorientated, waking up in someone else’s room.

She breathed in the faint smell of colone coming from Ace. She smiled when she thought of him, she always felt safe around him, knowing he would do anything he could to keep her safe. She nestled her head into Ace’s chest and sighed happily. The sudden movement must’ve woke Ace up, but suddenly after he did so, Lexi lurched upwards and froze.

Ace looked alarmed and put his hand on her shoulder. “What’s wrong?”

“Sshhhh!” Lexi whispered, and she gestured her head towards the bedroom door. “Someone’s coming”

Ace quietly got out of bed, still in his pyjamas, just as the person on the other-side of the door knocked on it, Ace turned to Lexi and signalled for her to wait in the bathroom for the moment.

Ace soon turned to the door and pressed a button mounted on the wall that opened it; There stood the hyper-active road-runner of the team, still pyjama clad like the tired looking coyote next to him, Rev, who stood bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet, with an ear-to-ear grin stretched across his face.

Ace winced when he started to talk. “Hey-Ace-Can-you-remember-what-today-is?”

Ace couldn’t help but let out a small chuckle at the road-runner’s question, how much of a young child he sounded like. Ace casually leant on the door and folded his arms against his chest. “Oh I don’t know Rev, why don’t you tell me?” Ace raised an eyebrow and Tech smirked. Tech, for once considering what he was wearing, must’ve slept in his own bed rather than the bed, or desk in his lab.

“Well-duh-Ace-it’s-my-birthday-remember-we-were-talking-about-it-last-night?-Oh-yeah-and-I-need-to-tell-you-what-I-want-us-to-do-for-it-today.-I-know-I’ll-just-tell-you-all-now,-I-can’t-wait!”

Ace and Tech simultaneously flinched as Rev ran wildly around the corridor they were standing in, pounding on each door as he passed. After he had done this at least 4 times he stopped and stood a few feet in front of Tech and Ace.

Within moments a groggy looking Duck and a grumbling Slam emerged from their rooms and stared blankly at Tech and Ace who were equally stunned.

“Geez what’s with the early wake up call Rev?” Duck grumbled. He stomped over to Rev and pressed a finger to his chest. “Can’t a guy get some rest at…at…?” Duck glanced at the wall clock in Ace’s room, whose door was still open, “…4:57 in the morning. What! I’m going back to bed”

“Rev, what’s this all about?” Tech yawned, pulling the retreating Duck back.

“Wait- Wait- Wait- Wait- Wait- Wait- Wait- Wait- Wait-Tech.” Rev shook his hands in an alarmed manner. “Lexi’s not here.”

Ace gulped and froze. If Rev and the others didn’t find Lexi in her room, and in Ace’s room instead, there would be trouble, everything would add up, and it wouldn’t be long until they worked out what was going on between the two of them. This was something Ace couldn’t let happen, not yet.

“Oh come on guys, let’s just let her sleep. She’ll get up when she’s ready.”

The rest of the team turned to look at their leader. Ace felt like he was sweating bullets, and hoped no-one could see his panic-stricken features.

“True…” Duck announced. Ace jumped slightly, but sighed in relief once he realised what Duck had said. “…I mean, we all know what Lexi’s like if she’s woken up in the morning, she’s worse than me!”

The rest of the team chuckled at Duck’s remark before deciding to make their way to the main room to make breakfast.

“I’ll be back in a minute.” Ace called back to the group as he made for his bedroom. He swiftly checked around the corner before entering his room and jogging to his bathroom, inside Lexi stood next to the shower leaning on the wall, she smiled when Ace entered.

“What took ya?”

“…Just a little run-in with the runner.” Ace smiled. Lexi walked towards him and rolled her eyes. Ace put his arm around Lexi and they started to leave the Bathroom. “I can’t wait to see what he wants us to do!” Lexi chuckled, sarcastically.

The two walked into the kitchen and were greeted by the rest of the team, who were all still pyjama clad.

The two took up their places at the kitchen table, where all eyes focused on Rev, who was obviously trying to contain his excitement.

“So…” Ace started, he tensed up slightly when Rev looked at him, obviously realising that as soon as he said the word, Rev would not stop talking…for a long time.

Rev eyed Ace intently, the rest of the team did the same, but more in a slightly nervous fashion than excitement.

“…What are we doing today?” Ace finished.

“Well-Ace-I’m-glad-you-asked-because-I-was-thinking-that-actually-it-could-be-a-two-or-maybe-even-a-three-day-thing-we-could-do-as-a-team.- At-first-I-thought-we-could-go-on-a-cruise-but-then-I-remembered-that-Lexi-gets-really-sea-sick-and-it-just-wouldn’t-be-fair-on-her,-so-then-I-thought-of-something-I-always-used-to-do-with-my-family,-that-We’ve-never-done-as-a-team-before-and-I-really-really-really-really-really-really-really-really-really-really-Would-like-us-to-do-it-as-a-team-because-it’s-really-fun!” Rev finally finished, he now looked at his dumbfounded team with anxiety.

“Well, er that’s great Rev…” Tech started.

“…And considerate” Lexi smiled at Rev who returned the gesture.

“…But, you never actually told us what you decided we should do.” Ace said weakly, as he finished Tech’s original statement.

Rev stood for a minute, blankly, and looked as if he was thinking. “…Oh-yeah-I-forgot-about-that-part, whoops!” He blushed. The rest of the team just smiled and shook their heads.

“I-was-thinking-that-as-a-team-we-could-all-go-camping!-I’ve-already-found-a-great-spot-in-a-reserve-out-of-the-city,-It-would-be-a-great-opportunity-for-us-to-leave-the-busy-city-life-and-take-a-chance-to-be-in-touch-with-nature!”

“Well I say we’re already in good touch with nature, I mean all we have to do is switch the TV onto the nature channel and Voila!” Duck scowled, distastefully.

“Duck!” Lexi hissed. “I think it would be…cool, to go as a team!” Lexi smiled. The whole team, minus Rev who grinned gleefully, stared at Lexi with a mixture of amazement and disbelief. “My family used to go camping all the time! Only, my dad would never let my sister and me out of his sight…which sucked.”

“Well…I guess Lexi’s right, it would be cool, especially as a team, we could share past stories and…stuff” Ace smiled.

“…So-It’s-a-yes?” Rev jumped up and down anxiously. Ace hesitated for a moment and studied the rest of the team’s faces, they all seemed pretty happy about the idea, save Duck, and he couldn’t resist Lexi’s smile, how could he say no to that? “Okay Rev, It’s a yes. We could give you your presents there too!”

As if he never even heard the rest of Ace’s answer, Rev sped of to his room. Some bangs, bumps and crashes could be heard coming from Rev’s room, even without the need for super-hearing, and with every crash and bump the team flinched, and Ace slightly regretted his answer.

“…Well, then.” Tech seemed slightly alarmed, “I guess we should get packing too” He finished, getting up, the rest of the team following his example.

“Abdn jfidpgi dgidog dksfjsfksll!” Slam grumbled.

Ace chuckled “Don’t worry Slam; we won’t make that much noise packing!”

The rest of the team separated into their individual rooms to begin packing for their trip.

This is still the rest of the chapter, It's too long to post in one-shot

“Hey Ace, Where’s the first aid kit?” Lexi asked as she walked into Ace’s room.

“First aid kit?” Ace jumped, and began to inspect her, “Why, what…why do you need a first aid kit?”

Lexi giggled, and pushed Ace away slightly. “I don’t need it, we need it.”

“What do you mean?”

“You know, camping, we might need a first aid kit. You know how Duck, Rev and Slam can be sometimes!”

Ace chuckled, “True, it’s in the Kitchen. Cupboard above the sink, third shelf up, you can’t miss it.”

“It sounds like you’re giving me directions?” Lexi pressed up against Ace.

“Yeah, I guess it does” He smiled. “I’ve got one in the bathroom cupboard if we should take two?”

Lexi stepped back. “Good idea!” She smiled and kissed him quickly before walking to his bathroom.

Ace smiled and continued to pack his bag, soon Lexi returned, carrying what looked like a green lunch-box with a white lid and a red-cross on the front of it. Lexi set the first aid kit down on Ace’s bed and, after a moment’s hesitation, sat down too.

Ace looked up at her and smiled. “What are you doing?”

“Watchin’ you. You need a hand?” Lexi folded one leg up onto the bed and rested her arms on it.

Ace looked around his room, thinking. “Could you grab my compass?”

“Sure.” Lexi got up and walked to Ace’s cupboard. Before stopping and turning around, she stared at Ace quizzically.

“What?” Ace asked, surprised as to why she would be staring at him like that.

“Why do we need a compass?”

Ace smiled. “So we don’t get lost, I thought you were smart Lexi?”

Lexi playfully stuck out her tongue, before turning round and grabbing the compass. Once she had it, Lexi turned around again and walked over to Ace, and placing the compass in his bag. “I mean.” She continued. “Why do we need a compass if we have built-in ones in our uniforms?”

“Well you didn’t think we were going camping in out work clothes did you?”

“Good point!” Lexi smiled. She looked down at Ace’s bag, “You want me to sit on that?”

Ace looked up at her, and gave her a strange look. “What do you mean?”

“You know, so you can actually get the thing shut” Lexi smiled. “I had to ask Slam to help me shut my case.” Lexi blushed slightly, but Ace smiled and shook his head slightly.

“Nah, I think I can manage. I’m not as weak as you!” Ace smiled, before pulling Lexi against him and tickling her, just like the previous night.

“No! Ace…please…stop that tickles!” Lexi giggled.

Ace smiled as he watched her squirm around laughing, but he continued to tickle her mercilessly nonetheless. Ace almost dropped Lexi, however, when Rev burst into the room, carrying two bulging bags. He was wearing a red and black chequered shirt, Beige ¾ length jeans, hiking boots and what appeared to be a fishing hat, and fishing gear.

Lexi continued to giggle slightly and attempt to catch her breath until she realised Rev was standing at Ace’s door. Now the two bunnies stared guiltily at Rev who gave them a puzzled stare before fully coming into the room.

“What-are-you-two-doing-in-here?” Rev asked. “Lexi-you-seem-a-bit-giggly-and-you’re-on-the-floor.” He switched his attention to Lexi, and then to Ace as he said this. “Is-everything-okay?” He said, eyeing Ace, surprisingly slowly.

“Yeah Rev, I’m fine.” Lexi said as Ace and Rev helped her up. “I was just asking Ace where the first aid kit was…” She looked at Ace slightly guiltily. “…and then…” She tried to think of an excuse. She couldn’t tell him that they just had a tickling incident. “…She fell over” Ace finished quickly, he winked at Lexi, who just smirked in response. “…and that was what was so funny, Rev.”

Rev, for a moment, looked slightly unconvinced, but shrugged it off, literally. “So are you two done then?”

It was only then that Lexi realised that both Ace and Rev were already changed and ready, realising she was still in her pyjamas she blushed suddenly. “Umm…I just need to…you know…do…stuff?” Soon Lexi made for the door, while Ace and Rev grabbed their bags and headed for the main-room.

In the main room of their HQ, Ace and Rev were greeted by Tech and Slam, who were also dressed, standing by their bags. Slam, who stood with five bags next to him, was to carry three, due to his size and strength, the rest, Ace figured, must be Lexi’s.

Ace eyes what everyone was wearing, and realised how much of a ‘country club’ group they must’ve looked like. Ace himself was wearing a pair of blue jeans, a green and white shirt, and a pair of white and green trainers (Sneakers). Tech was wearing a light and dark green chequered shirt, a pair of ¾ length jeans and green hiking boots. Slam was wearing an orange T-shirt with a pair of long, baggy grey shorts and grey hiking boots.

Soon the four males heard the sound of metal framing screeching against steel flooring, the floor surface later changing to carpet. Duck walked slowly, wearing a yellow polo shirt and baggy blue jeans and white trainers (sneakers) with his back to the team, dragging his obviously heavy back-pack through to the main room.

Seemingly annoyed by the noise and damage that was being done to the floor; Tech activated his powers and lifted the heavy and large bag into the air, and levitated it to the rest of the group.

Duck breathed a sigh of relief before collapsing onto the couch near Slam, his legs hanging off of the end of the large sofa.

“You know Duck, you are gonna have to carry that; onto the bus, the ferry and then of course through the forest until we get to the right spot…” Ace stood counting on his fingers, the amount of times Duck would have to carry his heavy bag on their trip. “…and then you’ll have to put it in your tent, once you’ve made it up of course, and then you’ll have to do the same, all the way back home.” Ace sighed, the length of his list being too long for him to comfortably say it without losing too much oxygen.

Duck scowled and buried his head into the couch, “You’re Despicable.” Was muffled through the sofa, but still easy enough for the rabbit and the rest of the team to hear.

Tech sighed. “Try one of the bags Slam’ll carry, see if it’s easier to lift.”

Duck roughly stood up, mocking the Canine’s speech with a higher-pitched and slightly babyish version. “I’ll be just fine with the bag I have, thank you very much! I’m not weak, I mean, it’s not like I’m Lexi!”

Ace and the rest of the team glared at Duck, before pointing to Lexi, who stood with her arms crossed, obviously angry, behind Duck.

“What was that you said Duck?” Lexi grumbled. She wore a pair of denim blue shorts, White trainers (sneakers), and a white shirt that was undone, with the sleeves rolled up, showing a black vest underneath.

Duck laughed nervously before hiding behind Ace, who too was not impressed. Lexi rolled her eyes. “Don’t worry guys, with luck he’ll be eaten by a bear while we’re gone.”

The team chuckled before picking up their bags and preparing to leave HQ, with Rev bouncing up and down with excitement.

Ace put a hand on Lexi’s shoulder; she jumped slightly before turning round. “You okay Lex?”

“Huh? Oh, yeah...I‘m fine. I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it’s bear season.”

Ace smiled, the rest of the team who were listening by the door, minus Duck, chuckled and continued to watch. “You need a hand with your bags.” Ace asked softly.

“No, I think I’m okay.” Lexi replied, slinging a small bag over her arm and putting on the large back-pack she had to carry. She made a face of pain and yelped slightly when the bag pulled on her back, and she fell backwards a bit, the rest of the team jumping in surprise.

Before she could do any-more damage to her back, Ace grabbed one of the straps from on Lexi’s shoulder and pulled the bag off her, holding it securely and easily with one hand.

“Wow.” Lexi put a hand on the small of her back. “That’s really gonna hurt in the morning!”

“You okay?” Ace asked, concerned over how much the bag would’ve strained on her.

“I think so.” Lexi asked, but her voice trembled slightly, and she sounded unsure.

Tech came over and stood next to Ace, putting a hand on Lexi’s back. “Can you move?”

Lexi straitened up and stepped forwards a few steps, before turning round and facing Tech and Ace. “Yeah, I’m fine.”

“…You want one of us to carry your bag Lex?” Ace asked, putting his free arm on her shoulder.

Lexi looked guiltily at the rest of the team. “…But you guys have already got like, two, or even three bags to carry. It’s not fair on you guys.”

Ace looked concerned, but adjusted Lexi’s bag and moved it from his hand up to his shoulder, as another bag was already on his back and one was on the floor by his feet. “Yeah, well it’s not fair if you have to carry something you obviously are gonna struggle lifting, you might get hurt.”

Lexi sighed, “Fine then. We should get going.”

LOL, I understand.

I think it's just something I decided to put in from my personnal experiences

It seems to be a thing with me and being...pathetically weak, so I thought...what the hell, I'll add it in for comical effect!

I did want this to become a bit more humerous anyway!

Siamese712 · I blamed it on the dog...

Well it's still a good story, I jest had to throw my opinion out there that's all.

And there's nothing wrong with putting a little bit of your self into a story to add an effect. It usually helps a story.

nice chappie purplegirly it was very interstanding
