This story ignores season 4 of the series as well as any Yamanuchi related episodes. I decided to make my own twist on the whole monkey power thing.
Her room was dark, not pitch-black dark but dark enough for her eyes to rest.
It was quiet. The only audible sounds were that of rain hitting her room's window, as well as distant thunder claps every now and then.
A perfect opportunity to fall sound asleep. Going on all those missions, keeping up with cheerleader activities and maintaining her straight A's took a toll on her sleeping time. A human body requires an average of 8 hours of deep sleep every day. She barely had 5 hours; not healthy for your average 15 year old girl.
Her mission clothes were thrown on the floor, she dumped them on the floor about 20 minutes ago. The right sleeve was torn, the other was almost gone. Her jeans were torn near the right knee, some blood stains still show; it was a tough landing.
After she returned safely and bid her friend and partner farewell, she took off her clothes and entered her bathroom to enjoy a hot bath.
She turned off the water, slipped into her pajamas and headed towards her bed. She lay down under the cover of her bed and sank deeply into her mattress.
Time to sleep... was the only thought circling her head.
Beep Beep Beep
Her eyes opened wide in frustration... The annoying beeps that have been ruining her life for the last two years. She covered her head with her pillow and pressed heavily around her ears to shelter herself from the sound. After seconds of failed attempts she finally gave in. She grabbed the little device in her right hand while maintaining the pillow with her left.
"What is it?" her anger and frustration were not hidden. The poor boy didn't know how to start. It is true that his job of maintaining her website, staying up to date on demands and providing transports was not easy, and denied him the sleep any 10 year old needs. But it doesn't compare to what they have to do. He just takes the request, provides a transport and informs Kim. That's it. They have to get out of bed. They have to travel half way across the world. They have to... survive.
Seeing the frightened look on Wade's face made her feel guilty. It's not his fault, he should spend his time playing video games not participating in saving the world. Even if he is a genius; he is still a kid.
"Sorry Wade..." She apologized. "I didn't mean to"
His frightened gestures faded away and were replaced by a smile of understanding.
"It's ok..." He paused not sure how to start the subject. Well she can take it...
"Its Drakken" He continued.
She sighed as she got off her bed.
"I'll call Ron... make sure transportation is ready"
"Understood"
She picked up her phone and hit speed dial... Half of the phone bill is on that boy. Had it been another her father would probably have killed him... and her.
He lay there in his bed staring at the ceiling. He has been like that for about 20 minutes. With all missions, mascot and school demands he barely had time to get any sleep either. Sure he doesn't do as much on missions, nor does he do what the captain of the cheerleader squad does nor does he even succeed in maintaining a C average in school. But he doesn't have her potential or resources. It's ok, it's not like he is jealous or anything. He is happy for his best friend. She has been his only true friend since pre-K. The only way he can repay her is by being there when she needs him. Whether it be a distraction in life threatening situations or being a comic relief on those stressful exam days. He was happy.
He rubbed his eyes and turned to his side where his naked mole rat was sleeping... or attempting to.
"You can't sleep either can you buddy?" He asked as he patted his little pet.
The poor rodent shook his head.
He let out a deep breath and directed his sight back towards the ceiling. He should crash as soon as he lay on bed. It used to be that way. Well until that mission with that Monkey Fist. First he had trouble sleeping, when he fell asleep he had weird nightmares. He has to lay there in bed for about 6 hours to get an hour or two of sleep. And it seems his pet is suffering the same symptoms.
"That's it" he spoke with determination.
"Something is wrong with us... I am going to tell KP" he held his phone and was about to dial his best friend. Luckily near his phone is a small alarm clock.
He let out a small chuckle when he saw the clock. It was 4:21 AM. He couldn't wake her up. She needed the sleep more than he did. He'll tell her tomorrow.
Before he could place back the phone on the desk near his bed it vibrated. He thought it was a good idea. With all the missions mid-night and all. The phone would vibrate for a couple of seconds before ringing.
He hit the answer button.
"Let's go" he smiled as he heard his friend's voice.
"I'll wait outside" He jumped off his bed and headed for the closet and put on his clothes, followed by a jacket. It was cold.
He stood outside under a tree sheltering himself from the rain. It took less than a minute for a car passing by to stop in front of his house. The windows were tanned; he couldn't see anything inside the car.
One of the windows in the backseats opened. His friend's face appeared with a smile on her face.
He smiled in return and rushed under the rain while holding a small umbrella he brought along.
He opened the door, closed the umbrella and shook it before closing the door.
"Ready" She asked
"Always KP"
The car sped under the rain as they embarked for another mission.
