Title: Red and Yellow
Author: Molly the Wanderer
A/N: The usual "I don't own it". Fanfic 100 challenge number 44. Circle. Set just before the final battle of the show. Guess what SPRX and Nova are gonna do when alls said and done ^_^? Read and Review, please!
"There's not much time left, SPRX. What's this all about?" Nova stood near the doorway of her teammate's room, with a fight on the horizon she was itching to be as close to the center of things as possible, not meeting SPRX77 for secret rendezvous.
The Red monkey smiled brightly at his yellow friend. He pulled her into the room and closed the door.
"I got something for ya!" He said, "Otto made em, but he never got around to makin more, so there's only two."
SPRX unscrewed Nova's tail piece. He pulled it free and pressed something cold against her fur, Nova shivered, but waited to see what SPRX had done until he'd reaffixed the metal appendage.
A new silver band circled Nova's tail. It sat a few centimeters lower than her tail piece and gripped her flesh, not tight, just strong enough to not slide down like a rubber band, but made out of metal. Glancing at SPRX she found him grinning. He pointed at his own tail, they had a matching pair.
Nova poked at her new jewelry, SPRX hopped closer to her. He poked it too, pulled his own tail close around and smiled wide.
"They don't do anything." He said, "I just liked em. I thought they'd be cool, something for just you and me."
Nova stared at SPRX, "Is this your way of saying…"
"Hey guys! Antauri wants us to meet in the control room, go over battle plans, kay?" Both monkeys jumped at the sound of Chiro's voice. They hadn't even heard him open the door.
"Yeah, Kid. We'll be right there." SPRX said, recovering faster.
"Something wrong you guys?" Chiro's face turned worried, but Nova smiled, dispelling his fears.
"We're great Chiro, just give us a minute." She punched SPRX for emphasis and the red monkey smiled sheepishly. Chiro nodded, still concerned for his friends, but turned to leave as they'd ask.
SPRX and Nova smiled at the boys retreating form and smiled at each other once he was gone. SPRX held his hand out, Nova took it. She looked down, contemplating something and grinned even wider when she looked up.
"Hey SPRX you know what red and yellow make?" she asked. SPRX squeaked, confused.
"Orange!"
