This is my first non-pokemon story, and my first TD series fic. So, please be nice. This was originally going to be a one-shot, but became a two-shot between my third fav. relationship. The time period is towards the beginning of the first season, but it ignores all canon relationships. Sorta AU, as in, the relationships from the series don't happen here, specifically, Izzy and Owen, and Gwen and Trent.

As he lifted his sword to deal the final blow, he realized his actions, and stopped.

"This isn't me!" he said, "No! I refuse t-"

"HEY!" A loud voice interrupted my reading.

Sighing, I tore my eyes away from my book, to look at who had called. "What to you need, Cody?" I said, sounding exasperated. I wasn't actually irritated at him, I just sound that way normally. I actually enjoyed talking to him, I just didn't show it.

Luckily, Cody knew me well, we'd been good friends since the start of the competition. "Kinda bored, wanted to know if you wanted to mess with Duncan." He said, with an eager look. I laughed, lightly.

Duncan always picked on us smaller guys, so we got back at him by hiding his stuff, or putting tacks on his bed. "Not this time, sorry." I said. I had other plans.

"Oh, are yo-" He stopped suddenly, staring off behind me. I turned to see Gwen walking by, not paying either of us attention. I chuckled again.

"Hey, Ladies Man!" I said, getting Cody's attention. "Go get her." I said, winking.

"Uh..." He was about to respond, but was side-tracked by Gwen walking nearby again, this time looking at him and saying "Hi." At that, he walked towards her to start a conversation, still a little dazed.

"Good luck, your going to need it." I thought to myself, seeing as he wouldn't even hear me if I did say it aloud. I got up, deciding it was time I did IT. NO more putting it off. Time to talk to the devil herself.

I found her near the kitchen backdoor, hiding in some bushes, watching the door. I snuck up behind her and said, quietly "Another prank, and he might make good on his promise to stop making us food."

She jumped a little, then turned to see it was just me. "Like that'd be a big deal, his food is crappy, anyways." she said, smiling. "And I thought you'd be hiding from me, after yesterday." Her smile widened.

Ah yes, yesterday. Yesterday, this girl here stole my books and threw them in the lake, except for the one I had on me. "That's why I'm here, Izzy." I said, growing irritated. "Why'd you do that? What bone do you have to pick with me?"

She looked away, with an upset look on her face. "I was bored." She said, simply, but she still didn't look at me.

Now I was getting mad. I got my face inches from hers. "Why would you do that? Did Duncan put you up to it? Tell me the truth, Izzy!" I seethed with anger.

From everything I expected, from a slap, to crying, what happened next threw me off guard. She turned to face me, blushing furiously, then pressed her lips against mine. Before I could comprehend what was going on, she got up and ran off.

"Izzy..." I said, softly. I touched my fingers to my lips, trying to remember how her lips felt, but it had happened too fast. I was so distracted, I didn't even notice a splash behind me, followed by an aggravated yell from Chef.

If you didn't catch on, Izzy placed a bucket on the door that was slightly open filled with water. That's why she was hiding in the bushes nearby.

I tried to be as in-character as physically possible. But Izzy seemed a little tame to me. Then again, this was only the first season, before she turned into E-Scope/ Explosivo. I hope to get the next chapter up soon.
