EDIT 3/15/14- I'm going back through this fic and doing some really basic editing. I wrote this back in a time when I didn't even have word or a good spell check so I'm really just fixing some of those mistakes that have been a constant nagging in the back of my head for years.
Have you ever had one of those days where the teenager your supposed to be in charge of gets you stuck in the middle of the desert walking to the nearest town with an Evo that has decided that your the best thing sense sliced bread?
Well that's the kind of day Six was having.
Six awoke that morning at exactly 6:00. No it's not funny and in fact he resented the fact that other people found such amusement in it. He just liked to get up at 6:00 that's all. Anyway, Six awoke and was almost immediately called into a mission briefing. It wasn't all that unusual, but normally he had a good hour before White Knight expected them to do anything.
He entered the 'conference room' before anyone else. Like always. 'Surprisingly' (Six doesn't do surprised) Rex was the next to arrive. Rex entered, clearly trying to keep a straight face. This can't be good. Perhaps I wont ask. Soon after an angry Bobo and an extremely tiered looking Dr. Holiday came in. Rex opened his mouth to make a comment but Six put his hand on his shoulder and shook his head slightly.
Just then the large screen came on displaying a pissed White Knight. Or maybe 'Pink Knight' would be more fitting. For there in front of them was their leader with cotton candy pink hair. Rex laughed as quietly as he could manage, the doctor was blinking repeatedly trying to insure what she was seeing was real, and the monkey sat in silence. There's probably too many 'funny' comments he can make. It may have melted his brain. 'White' sat in silence glaring 'down' at Rex. So that's why the kid was so happy.
"What exactly do you find so amusing Rex?" How's Rex going to justify dying White's hair pink? This'll be good. Rex grinned.
"Well... It's Easter." Don't laugh. DON'T. White raised an eyebrow.
"What does that have to do with my hair being dyed pink?"
"I thought Providence needed some lightening up. For some reason no one put up any decorations for Easter."
"Why would we celebrate Easter?"
"Easters a holiday too!"
"Yes, but it's a religious holiday. Providence doesn't celebrate religious holidays because they isolate people." The two of them continued to argue. at this point was looking annoyed. REALLY ANNOYED.
"Ok, you two stop." Oh she actually said something. " You need to stop trying to get Providence to change stupid things," She looked angrily from Rex up to White Knight who was taken aback by the doctor's out burst, " And you just look silly." She crossed her arms, and the room sat in silence for a moment.
"Someone's not a morning person." Holiday glared down at Bobo who moved away from her quickly and hid behind SIx. I think this has gone on long enough... Six turned his attention back to White.
"We have a mission." Six doesn't ask questions. He states facts.
"Yes." White readjusted himself "That Evo rabbit of yours Rex needs to be taken care of. Six, Bobo and Dr. Holiday will be accompanying you." The doctor looked rather confused. And still slightly angry.
"Why would I need to go? Shouldn't I stay here and keep an eye on Rex's nanite levels?"
"No. You need to go too."
"But-"
"You have your orders." White cut off the conversation leaving the four of them in silence. He never said where we where going. Oh well. Six turned and left the room. Shortly after the rest followed.
Apparently the people down at the plane/jet knew where they where going. What do they do anyway? So Six went up to the cockpit while the other three went and sat in the back. White didn't want anyone else to go with them. This wont go well.
Else where 'Pink' sat in his white room in silence. A voice on his enter-com filled the silence. "Sir, Rex, and company have left." He smiled.
"This'll teach them to mess with me." The silence filled the room.
"I don't look silly..."
Six had followed the coordinates and landed the Providence jet. They all exited and looked around out side. Of course if the Evo was anywhere near them they would be able to see it. They where sitting in the middle of the desert after all. But before anyone could make a sarcastic comment about Six's lack of direction a 'thumping' noise was heard.
And it was getting louder. Rex flinched as he saw none other than his favorite rabbit evo hopping straight at him. While Rex could have easily tried to fight the evo he decided to run and let Six deal with it. Hiding in the jet seemed like a good idea.
HOWEVER. Rex did not take into account that the rabbit had no interest in the others, it simply leaped above their heads, breaking straight through the jet. And straight out the other side. All of which caused a rather notably sized explosion.
So now there was an Evo rabbit. An injured teenager. A destroyed jet. A doctor. A monkey. And an agent. Holiday proceeded to sit down, looking annoyed. The bunny was inching in on the injured Rex. Damn. But before Six could move there was a piercing sound coming from the sky. Mr. Rabbit cowered, loosing all interest in Rex.
Looking up (which was easy with his sunglasses) Six could see... A hawk? The giant Evo bunny was afraid of... a bird? Rex couldn't beat that?
'SPLAT'
Glancing slightly to the left Six could see his newly ruined suit. Bird crap. He took his jacket off, ignoring the snickering of Rex, Bobo and Holiday. He glanced back up at the hawk, it was too high up for him to possible jump and get. But perhaps if he was given a boost he might be able to get it.
Of course the jet would have worked fine if it wasn't a pile of burning ruble. The next tallest thing was... The Evo... It'll have to do. Six got a running start, he jumped, his foot landed squarely on the Evo's head propelling himself far higher in the air. He pulled out one of his twin katanas and sliced the hawk straight down the middle.
The rabbit Evo stopped cowering and stared at the agent, who was looking down at the remains of the hawk. Six reached his hand up to his ear seeing if his communicator was working. While he was trying to get in contact with Providence the Evo moved towards him.
"Six watch out! The Evo!" He looked to his left to see rabbit that was standing right in front of him. Looking at him. It wasn't attacking though. It moved forward slightly nuzzling his head on Six's side. Oh God damn it. Bobo was cracking up.
"HAHAHA Six saved the little bunny rabbit from the big scary bird!" Six glared at the chimp. Who completely ignored him. Why do I glare at people if people can't see my eyes...? Wait why does it normally work? Change the subject.
"We've lost contact with Providence. We'll have to go for help." Dr. Holiday went from sitting to laying on the ground upon hearing the news. She looked up at the sky.
"Of course we've lost contact." She sighed and looked over to Six. "I guess you better get going." Six quirked and eyebrow and the doctor continued. "Well Rex is injured and isn't going anywhere, Bobo's lazy and wont go if Rex isn't and the only way I'm going is if someone carry's me. So I think your probably on your own." Six glanced between the three of them and decided that Holiday was right. Not knowing witch way to go (seeing as they had been sent to the middle of no where) he decided to go east so the wind was at his back.
And with out another word, he was off.
Six never realized just how much he hated the desert. The thing is there is miles and miles of it but nothing. IT ALL LOOKS THE SAME. That coupled with the continuous thumping of his new pet, was making this journey unbearable. God, he didn't even know where he was going. He looked back at the Evo, which stopped moving when he did.
"Do you know where the nearest town is?" The rabbit stared at him for a long time before slowly moving his head at an angle to the left. Six almost laughed. When he asked the Evo he didn't think it would answer. Maybe... "How long will it take to walk there?" Once again the rabbit sat there staring before thumping his back foot 7 times. "1 for minutes, 2 for hours, 3 for days." Two thumps. Great seven hours... I wont be back for the others until past midnight.
An idea struck the agent just then. He was just glad that no one he knew was around to see it.
John Doe thought that he was dreaming. Well any normal person who saw a Providence agent ride to the edge of town on the back of what looked like a mutant bunny would think their crazy too. The man dismounted from the Evo, and continued into the town on foot, the Evo following right behind him.
John decided that he needed to stop drinking.
Six should have predicted that people would avoid the guy with the Evo following him. It was common sense after all. How was he supposed to call for help if no one would talk to him? But at this point he didn't care. Six walked to the nearest house a knocked on the door.
A little blond girl in a green dress answered the door. Oh of course a kid answers the door. Yah lets threaten her until she lets us use the phone. That can't possible end badly. Mustering up all his people skills Six began to speak.
"Are your parents home?" DAMN! Six inwardly flinched. Maybe Holiday was right I do need to work on my people skills. The girl didn't seem to notice. In fact she smiled.
"Daddy went to the grocery store!" She thought for a minute before continuing, "Mommy's home though!" The girl reached up and grabbed Six's hand and lead him inside. Leaving his poor rabbit Evo 'out in the cold.'
Rex sat in a small circle with Holiday and Bobo. Now they were trying to draw Six in the sand. Why? Because they had decided that the rabbit Evo had eaten him and now they need to make a picture for his funeral. Of course none of they owned a picture of Six let alone seen one. Anyway it's not like they had anything better to do. They had already destroyed EVERYTHING that they came with minus Six's jacket, which they gave a funeral for. It was a good jacket...suit...thing. Rex stopped drawing momentarily.
"What color are his eyes anyway?"
"Does it matter we're drawing in sand, we don't have colors."
"OR, maybe he doesn't have eyes." The two 'boys' looked up at Holiday who continued her drawing. They nodded in agreement.
Six was lead into a stereotypical middle class living room complete with TV, couch and obnoxious amounts of family photos. The girl stopped and let go of Six's hand. She turned to him and smiled.
"Wait right here I'm gunna go get Mama, kay?" She skipped out of the room leaving agent feeling suitably awkward. He glanced out the window into the families back yard where the rabbit Evo was sitting looking in at Six expectantly. He signaled the evo to stay where it was, and the evo proceeded to lay down.
Moments later a woman entered the room with the little girl with her. It was safe to assume that the woman was the kids' Mom, they looked the same, blond hair, big brown eyes and all. The mother smiled at Six.
"Why hello there! I hope Isabella didn't bother you too much, what can I do for you?" Six was admittedly thrown off by the amount of happiness coming from the woman. Normal people aren't that happy. I need to get out of here FAST.
"I need to use your phone. Then I can be on my way."
"There's no need to hurry! How about you sit down and I'll go make some lemonade." Six opened his mouth to protest but she was already gone, leaving him alone with Isabella again. She skipped over and sat down on the couch before looking up at him expectantly. Six sighed inwardly and sat on the floral pattered couch (about sitting about as far from the kid as possible). Isabella smiled.
"My name is Isabella, but you can call me Bella, like the girl in the Twilight movies!" Twilight movies...? "What's your name?"
"Six." 'Bella' laughed.
"Six isn't a name it's a number silly!" He sighed. She noticed. "But I'll call you Six if you call me Bella!"
"Fair enough, Bella." She continued to smile. How long does it take to make lemonade anyway?
"Your pants are the same color as my dress!" Bella pulled part of her dress over to compare the two colors. "See?" Six nodded. "I don't really like the color green though..." She paused clearly wanting Six to ask.
"Why don't you like green?"
"Because it's a boy's color!" She frowned a little and looked down at her dress. "But Grandpa gave it to me so Mama want's me to wear it." She paused again wanting Six to say something. It's really a shame that Six isn't a people person. Lucky for Six the mother came back in the room holding some glasses of lemonade.
"Here you go!" Six examined the drink for a moment. Normally he wouldn't drink anything he didn't prepare himself (He learned that the hard way). But if it would get him out of here faster... Six drank the lemonade quickly. It was actually quite good, and he was really thirsty. But before Six could ask to use their phone...
"Mommy! Mommy! Look! A bunny rabbit!" Damn. The mother turned looking out the window.
"Wow look at that rabbit it's huge!" Surprisingly enough she wasn't afraid so much as amazed by the size of the rabbit.
"Can I pet it?"
"I don't know... He's not ours..." Six was confused. These people see a giant Evo and wonder if they can pet it? Great... but... maybe I can use this...
"If I let you pet him can I use your phone?" The mother blond looked at Six excitedly.
"He's yours?"
"To an extent." Bella was jumping up and down.
"Please Mama!"
"Alright as long as it's fine with..."
"Six said it's fine Mama!" Bella ran out the door and straight to the Evo, her mother and Six followed behind. Upon seeing the child the Evo moved away slightly. Six gave it 'a look', and it sat still. How does that work? The mother smiled and went into the house. "Hey Six what's his name?"
"He doesn't have one." Bella looked shocked, and her mother came back out with the phone.
"Can I name him?" He began dialing Providence.
"Sure."
White Knight had been wondering how long it would be before he heard from Rex and the others. He had sent them hoping that they would have struggled with the mission, and came back complaining. But it had been hours and no word.
And White was soooooo bored. He couldn't leave his office with pink hair. He couldn't even send out people too look for them without letting others know of his 'situation'. So he was left sitting in his empty office with white walls that where laughing at him.
Always laughing.
But suddenly his secretary's voice came out of the speakers.
"Sir, you have an outside call on line one." White picked up the phone about as quickly as humanly possible.
"Hello?"
"White, we need a ride."
"Six?"
"Yes?"
"Where are you?" Silence. White could then make out Six talking to what sounded like a woman.
"Lone Rock, Nevada."
"I'll send a jet." White proceeded to hang up.
Wait... What?
Dr. Holiday was so happy to see the Providence jet that she nearly cried. It fact she, Rex, and Bobo refused to believe it was real until the door opened to reveal Six, looking relatively the same as when he left them. When Rex was snapped back into reality he quickly turned and destroyed the pictures of Six that they had drawn, hoping that Six himself hadn't seen them. The three of them got up and RAN onto the jet. The nice air conditioned jet.
"What took you so long?" Six looked down at the monkey.
"Would you have preferred if I left you?" Bobo fell silent.
The group arrived back at Providence and went straight into a meeting with White Knight. Silence filled the room.
"Sooo... How'd the mission go?" Everyone glared up at the screen. "So you weren't able to neutralize the Evo?"
"I guess you could say that we neutralized the Evo." Rex smiled proudly, earning him confused glances.
"Knock it off kid all you did was get us stranded." Rex frowned and looked down at his sidekick.
"The Evo has been proven harmless and has been taken to the Petting Zoo." White looked to Six. Where'd his jacket go?
"Really. The Evo that was causing Rex so much trouble is harmless? I'll believe it when I see it." Six sighed, walked over and opened the door. Before letting out one long whistle. He walked back and stood in line with the other three, facing White.
Silence. White raised an eyebrow. Holiday and Rex exchanged glances, while Six remained motionless.
Suddenly a noise could be heard. A large thumping noise that was getting louder and louder. Until a giant Evo bunny stood in the door way. White sighed.
"Fine you can keep him. You have to name him though." White was secretly looking forward to what the serous agent would name his new 'pet'.
"He already has a name."
"What is it then?" Six muttered something under his breath. "You'll have to speak up Six." Six frowned. He legitimately frowned, not just his normal serous face. Six glanced at the ground, and muttered the name again under her breath. "Sorry I still didn't quite hear that."
"His name is Edward Cullen, Ok?"
Ok I hope you enjoyed. I got way to much enjoyment out of writing this. I don't know why I felt the need to do this to poor Six but... Anyway. Tell me what you think.
