Fears 1
Author Note: So many stories..so little time. :) Anyway, here is the first chapter of my new three-shot story. We're all afraid of something...so what are our favorite heros fears?
Time for me to make this showy! :)

"I'm not sure about this..." Doc shifted nervously in his seat with Luka beside him. They were outside a restront, waiting for the blind date Luka had decided to set him up with.
"Don't be such a baby," she rolled her eyes, putting her feet up on the table lazily, "if you get stuck, I'll help you out. You need to get out more, anyway. You're driving us crazy...more importantly me, with your nagging. I swear, you're like an old man."
"I am n-" she slugged him before he could finish, pointing the dark haired beauty walking up. Her impossibly blue eyes were kind behind thick eyelashes, and her red high heels clicked on the pavement as she sat daintly in a seat.
"Hello," she gave them a perfect white smile, smoothing down her brown knee long skirt, "I am Samantha. Well met. Are you Don Doigler?"
He instantly froze up and felt like his throat was cut off. He couldn't talk to her girls...at all. Well, at least he knew them well. Not dating, though. Nobody knew it...but he was scared of girls.
"Just say hi," Luka hissed lowly into his ear.
"...hi," he squeaked, and she grabbed his wrist, waving it weakly and face palming. This wasn't starting off well.
"So, Don," Samantha looked patient enough, "what your intre-"
"JUST GET ME OUT OF HERE!" Doc was suddenly shaking his friend's shoulder, who slugged him and rolled her eyes.
"You give chicken a new meaning," she mumbled as he ran off before looking at Samantha, "so...want to get some pizza?"
"I have to be at that place..." she rose quickly, rushing out.

"That was an epic fail," Gokai Yellow flopped back on the couch, rolling her eyes once again and propping her feet on the intable, "you can come on now, ya' weenie."
"I can't help it that I'm..." he stopped himself as he rose out the cabinet, binting his tongue and starting to the kitchen, "hey, can you get some supplies out of the closet?"
"But I just got comfortable..." she whined, and he sighed, frustrated with her laziness.
"I just need a box with some pans in it," he went into the kitchen with that, and she groaned loudly so he could hear before hefting herself up.
"Ahim!" she called to the former princess, "help me get the box!"
"Yes, Luka-san," she nodded eagerly, rising quickly and scurring after her.
Flipping on the switch, Gokai Yellow went in first, turning in the space to find the box. Ahim slipped in, only being able to because she was small, and tried to get past her. Suddenly, the door slammed shut, and when the older girl tried to open it, she couldn't grasp it. Her eyes went wide, and she felt her knees cave.
"Luka-san?" the younger girl dropped to her sister figure's level, who was now in a ball, rocking, "are you alright?"
"Ahim..." she whimpered mournfully, "open the door..."
She's never admit it, but the tomboyish girl was claustrphobic...bad. The room seemed to get smaller with every shaky breath she took, and Gokai Pink rested her hand on her head gently.
"It's okay, Luka-san," she promised, "one moment." When she heard the doorknob click, the older Pirates darted out, gasping in the fresh air.
"I can BREATHE!" she heaved, falling to her knees.

"What's the hurry?" Ahim panted a tiny bit as she struggled to keep up with Marvelous about a hour later. He was moving quickly down the street, tossing in food the basket carelessly.
"This is FOOD. Ahim," he barely looked at her, "this is MEANT to be a hurry." She smiled a little and tried to keep up with her Captain, stumbling a bit.
When she tripped, she felt a strong arm around her waist, and the next thing she knew, she was holding onto Marvelous' neck for all her worth tightly as he carried her through the market.
"You were being too slow," he smirked his famous smirk, and she could only smile.
"About time!" a blast made both of them going flying into the fruit stand, "I finally located you wanted pirates!"
"Of course..." Ahim mumbled, struggling to free her dress from the apples, "this is horrible timing."
"Who do you think you are?" Gokai Red growled, "trying to ruin our diner, huh? That's unforgivable."
"I am Tinanazaz," he spun on his scaly heel, grinning with no teeth, "and you're going to get me all the time in the world...in CASH!" The Pirate Captain moved quickly, rolling out of the way of a yellow-blue blast and freeing Ahim quickly.
"Gokai Change!" the leader was quickly heading into battle, "let's get rough."
"Sure," the Scormin purred, shooting wildly at him. When he easily dodged them, the evil monster extended long, scaly, dirty claws and tried that approach first.
"Ahhhhhhhh!" he yelped when one claw cut open the back of his jacket, penetrating the skin deeply, "you little..." He screamed as his stomach was gotten, and when he doubled over, the Scormin twisted his ankle and threw him mercilessly into a mailbox.
"Marvelous-san!" Gokai Pink transformed as tried to rush to his aid, but when she got hit with a beam, she froze in place, unable to move, "yikes!"
"I guess I'll turn you in first," he chuckled, "your clock has run out." But before he could fire out of his wrists, he yelped as four bullets hit at full force into his back.
"You let her go!" Luka jumped up with Joe, and the two of them slashed him across the front as Doc and Gai shot him in the back.
"Are you alright, Ahim-san?" Gai questioned worridedley as the others battled. She nodded and finally managed to move her feet to her fallen captain.
"Marvelous-san!"
15 minutes later...
Gokai Pink was trying really hard not to hurl. Her leader and friend was all bloody and weak, cut all over his body and moaning in obvious pain. She slowly took his jacket in her fingers and pulled it off, closing her eyes and daring herself to open them. She snapped them shut, biting her lower lip and clutching her reversing stomach.
"Are you okay?" his voice made her force them back open and focus on his midnight eyes.
"How can you say that?" she mumured, praying her face wasn't white, "you're hurt badly..."
"Hm...that doesn't look healthy," Gokai Red commented as he stared at his reflection in the mirror to his back, "and that's gross...wow, that's so bloody..." He stared at his other two wounds, and she choked a little.
Being a Pirate made her biggest fear difficult to hide, that was for sure. She was petified of massive blood loss, and to see this man she adored so much with so much blood gushing out of three fresh wounds...and she was alone on the Gokai Gallen.
"Can ya help a guy out?" the Captain inquired, and she nodded very weakly and wetted a rag. When she started to clean the wounds, though, she promptly fell out of her seat.
XXXXXXX
"I didn't do ANYTHING TO HER!" Marvelous and Luka was busy arguing as usaul, and Joe sighed. He was so tired of this all...after that Scormin that had ran away, he just wasn't in the mood.
"I wish that could just shut..." he mumured to himself, and that's when a equally annoying voice called to him.
"Joe-san!" Gai scrambled beside the older male's side, "what's wrong?"
"Nothing..." suddenly, Gokai Blue froze, making him crash into him.
"Joe-san?" he tapped his shoulder, and, very slowly, Joe turned around on his heel and started walking away.
Gokai Silver looked were his friend had been staring earlier and gasped. It was the most adorable Yorkie Terrior puppy you ever saw with a big pink bow in it's coco-carmel fur, big black eyes and a little wagging tail. He scooped down and started to give it some attention, which she loved. Joe, on the other hand, was striding away quickly with his eyes closed and heart pounding.
"Just keep walking..." the ship was in view again now, "just keep walking..."
"Look, Joe-san!" suddenly, the dog was in his face with Gai speaking, "she's friendly!"
"AHHHHHHH!" Gokai Blue screamed, running away, unable to contain his fear for dogs any longer.

"What," Marvelous looked down at the bug crawling across the armrest of his chair, "is that?"
"That is a spider, Marvelous-san," Ahim replied, having recovered from her moment of dizziness. Just as he was about to question that, he'd seen the bug.
"What does it...do?" he raised an eyebrow at it.
"It eats other bugs," Luka replied lazily from the couch, "and catchs them in its own web that it makes itself. Then it eats the web...I even heard of one that ate a man's finger one time."
The Captain's face paled a bit, "Sick..." He strode quickly to his own quaters and kicked the door shut beside him.
"Why did you say that?" the former princess blinked at her sister figure, "I doubt that this happened."
"I didn't," she smirked, "I'm getting him for back for whatever he did to you."
"He did nothing," she rose quickly and scurried to his door, opening it slowly. He was nowhere to be found, and she finally saw the edge of his red coat...under the bed, "Marvelous-san? Why are you under the bed?"
"No paticular reason..." his voice was muffled.
"Then can you come out?"
"...No thanks, I'm good,"
She bit her lower lip and pondered how to get him back out, "You know...I have heard dark, closed spaces are favorite nesting places for spiders..."
There was a minute of shocked, still silence as he realized what she was implying.
"AHHHHHHH!" he screamed, bolting out from under the bed and accidently right into her, "oops..." His face matched his suit color.
"It is alright, Marvelous-san," she promised, straightening his coat and pushing him gently onto his bed edge, "what is the matter?"
"Nothing..." he strode off quickly, and she scurried after him.
XXXXXXXX
"Ahhhhhh..." Luka admired the new ring she'd gotten earlier. It was said to glow in the dark, and she was eager to try it out.
When she switched out the light, the crew that was in the main room didn't think to much of it. Except for one.
"Whoah..." Gai stumbled over a chair, "who turned off the sun?"
"Man..." Luka whined, "it doesn't glow!"
"Luka-san?" he called blindly, groping wildly, "where are you?" When a firm hand that could only be hers gripped his shoulder, he immdeiatley clung to her leg.
"Gai!" she hollered in protest, kicking.
"Turn the lights back on..." he moaned, and she slugged him hard and did that.
"What is wrong with you?" she demanded, and he looked near tears as he scrambled to the crows nest. Joe only faced palmed before going back to fingering his neck where an old bruise was from the electric collar he'd had on long ago.
