Me: Here's the second part of "Why can't I tell you". I decided to do a story of their first date. Also, watch out for my next story, titled "Two secrets spilled" or something like that. For those who like these stories, just give me a convincing review and I'll consider writing a sequel or another story like this.

Nova: You better write another or else.

Me: Or else what?

Nova: Or I'll hurt you for keeping me away from my Antauri.

Antauri: Who can keep you away from me? (smiles slyly)

Nova: No one my love.

(And they kiss again)

Me: Will you two please get a room!

Antauri/Nova: No, already got one (continue kissing)

Me: Fine, I'll just get on with the story. And no I don't like just Hilary Duff and country, those songs were the ones that I felt fit the story. I don't own SRMTHFG, but I wish did.

Questions and Answers

It has been a couple months since Antauri and Nova got together. A rather eventful couple months, Skeleton King must have been doing overtime with the Formless. Right now, the usual was going on; Antauri meditating, Gibson conducting experiments, and Otto, Sprx, and Chiro playing a game. The only one not present was Nova. Chiro was the one who brought this up.

"Hey, anyone seen Nova?

Sprx replied with, "Haven't seen her since breakfast."

The conversation got Antauri's interest as he, too, was wondering where his girlfriend was. He opened his eyes to reveal the others looking at him, their eyes asking the previous question.

"I have not seen her since she went to her room after breakfast, but I will go look for her if you all wish." He answered calmly.

"I can safely assume she is not in the Super Robot, because I've already check every room here including the bathroom and her room."

Everyone turn to see Gibson coming out of his tube from the bedroom levels.

"If she's not in her room and she's not in the Robot, then where would she be?" This question came from Otto.

As they pondered over this question, Antauri got up from his meditating stance and began to walk to the door.

"Hey Antauri, where are ya heading off to?" Sprx asked.

"Isn't it obvious? If Nova's not in the Robot, then she's most likely to be out in city or the park." He replied casually. The team (minus Nova) stared at him as he continued, "Now, if you don't mind, I'll go out to look for her. So everyone relax and I'll be back. Contact me if Nova returns before I do."

With that said he walked out the door and out into the city. He went to every store that he knew Nova liked to go to, but found her at none of them. Getting a little worried, he took to the rooftops, which gave him a better visual than the ground. He continued looking for a good 20 minutes. Finally giving up on the thought that she was in the city, Antauri turned in the direction of the park and headed there as he started to talk to himself out of sheer worry.

"Nova, where are you? Okay, calm down Antauri, you still haven't check the park so she might be there."

Strolling casually into the park, Antauri chose a path and followed it throughout the park. When he came back to the entrance, he mentally and physically slapped himself.

"Why don't I just use the Power Primate to find her? Man, what kind of idiot am I?"

Settling into a meditative stance, Antauri reached out with the Power Primate to find the familiar aura of Nova. It didn't take long, the reason being she was, indeed, in the park. She was in a dense area of trees just east of him. Turning in that direction, he headed off to find Nova. He was relieved as he walked that nothing had happened to his pink-eyed, golden-furred lover.

Upon arriving at the female monkey's location, his sight fell upon a large beautiful lake with different species of flowers surrounding it. With such beauty, only one word registered into the black monkey's mind…

"Damn."

Suddenly, he heard someone talking. The voice sounded highly familiar. Following the sound, he came upon the figure he was searching for…Nova. She seemed a little upset with something. He was about to reveal himself when Nova began to speak, staring into the water.

"Come on Nova, no need to rush things. It's only been a couple months of fighting Formless since you and Antauri got together, you'll go out eventually. Great, now I'm talking to myself. Maybe, I should ask instead of the other way around, but that would be too awkward. Oh, and just this morning I was enjoying a nice breakfast with the others."

With a sigh, she gently closed her eyes and then opened them looking up into the sky at the clouds, deep in thought. If she would have looked behind her, she would have seen a certain black monkey sneaking up behind her. She was too deep in thought to even notice until after a pair of hands covered her eyes. She tensed up rather quickly, but when she heard, "Guess who?" in that voice she knew all too well, she immediately relaxed.

She smiled and replied, "How about a second-in-command of the Hyper Force with great control over the Power Primate, quick agility, one who is an excellent kisser, and has one hell of a sexy ass."

She smirked as the hands where removed and were placed around her waist, pulling her into someone's lap (Me: Can you guess who's?). She turned her head slightly, only to have her lips crushed by her boyfriend's delicious ones. Holding that demanding, yet passionate kiss, Nova felt her tail wrap around Antauri's waist as his tail did the same to her. Breaking the kiss, Nova stared deeply into those deep olive eyes with her own stunning pink ones. The two lovers stayed like that until Antauri broke the silence with a question.

"Do you really think my ass is sexy?" His reply was a kiss then a question.

"Why do you think I can't keep my eyes off you?"

"I can think of few reasons" He replied as he began to rub her belly. She giggled a bit and completely relaxed into his arms. "And now I have a question for you my little 'Wild FireBall'."

"Yes, my 'Knight in Black Armor'." Replied Nova as her head rested on Antauri's shoulder.

Smirking at the nickname he asked hesitantly, "Would you um… like to go out with me sometime? See a movie, go bowling, or something?"

Her eyes nearly shot open as she looked at him, revealing that he had a streak of pink lining his nose. "You heard me, didn't you? She quizzed.

"Heard what? I didn't hear anything you said!" He stammered, trying to look as innocently as possible, eyes darting at anyplace but her. Nova moved her body so she was sitting in a less-straining-on-her-neck position. Placing both hands on his cheeks to make him look at her, she stared into his eyes accusingly, "You know, you're a really horrible liar, love. Now, are you asking me out or what?"

He smirked, "And if I say 'or what'?" He chuckled at the pout she gave as she said, "That's not very funny you know."

"I know, but the look on your face is absolutely sexy." He replied, rubbing his nose on hers. "And yes, I am asking you out." The smile she gave him next melted his heart. 'Geez, if she couldn't look any sexier, that smile sure did the trick!' He was relieved when Nova leaned in and placed lips on lips once again, chasing away all the thoughts currently flowing though his head. Releasing the kiss, Nova snuggled her face into the side of his neck and sighed, totally content in her current position.

"Hey, Nova…?"

"Hmm…?"

"Did you have anything in mind?"

"For what?" she questioned.

"For our date, sleepy head." He replied, gently poking her in the stomach, which was a bad idea. The next moment, Antauri found himself on his back, hands pinned above his head, and a slightly annoyed, yet smirking Nova on top of him. Smirking at the golden monkey, he began to tease her, "Hmmm, I could really get used to this position, what about you?"

Blushing furiously with her smirk disappearing, she reluctantly let his hands go, which was a big mistake on her part. As soon as she let go, Nova found herself in the same position Antauri had been in moments earlier. Nova struggled to get out of his grip, but gave up with a sigh. She looked into his amused eyes with her irritated ones. She snorted.

"I'm glad you find this amusing, Antauri."

He smiled, "I just like this position a little better. Besides, I can reach you easier this way." Before she could question what he said, her lips were claimed by his. The yellow monkey's body totally relaxed under his touch. Antauri pulled away and helped Nova into a sitting position next to him.

"I told ya you were an excellent kisser." Nova said with a smirk.

Antauri smiled at his female companion's statement, but frowned when he heard someone or something growl.

"What was that?" he questioned, looking at Nova, whose face held a rather large shade of red on it. "What?"

"That was my stomach." She said, her face getting redder still.

The black monkey next to her chuckled slightly, "Then I guess we get back to the Robot for lunch. It's probably around noon or something. Besides, your're shivering." "Well, it is the end of November, isn't it?" Chuckling, Antuari got up from the ground and offered his hand to his gold love still on the ground. She took it gratefully, but instead of getting to her feet like she expected, she was swept up so Antauri was carrying her bridal style. Nova's face grew hot, but she made no protest in the second-in-command's actions. In fact, she rather liked this position, much to her own surprise. Taking flight, the two monkeys made their way back to the Super Robot for lunch.

Back at the Robot

Upon their arrival, they were greeted by silence. It was so silent you could mistaken the place for a cemetery. Nova found a note resting on her chair.

"Hey Antuari, listen to this. 'Antauri/Nova, if you're reading this it means we're not back yet. The rest of us got bored so we decided to go to the arcade for some actions. See ya when we get back, Chiro'"

"Well, looks like we have the place to ourselves. So, what do you want for lunch?"

"How about... some fruit? I've been having a cravin' for some." Nova answered, strolling into the kitchen. Opening the fridge, she pulled out some apples, oranges, carrots, bananas, and pears. Antauri took a plate out of a cabinet and handed it to Nova, who sliced up the food and placed it on the plate. Once she was finished, the two went back into the main room and Antauri sat in his chair, pulling Nova back into his lap.

"Ya know, I'll never get tired of you in that position."

"Is that you or both of us?" She smiled as she took an apple slice and bite into it. They both ate in almost-silence. Nova had decided to tease Antauri a bit by taking the last slice, a pear slice,and position it right in front of his mouth. Unfortunately, when he went to take it, Nova pulled it away from him. 'So she wants to play, huh?' He stared into her pink swirls, distracting her long enough to swipe the slice from her hand. "Hey...woah!"

Nova soon found herself in a position she had been in early today. She was lying on her back and hovering above her was Antauri, the slice gently positioned between his teeth. Lowering himself, Antauri had the slice right in front of Nova, mimicking her earlier actions. Smirking, Nova quickly wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled Antauri down so that they shared the piece of fruit. As the two pulled away, their eyes connected showing their undefined love for each other.

"I love you, Antauri."

"I love you, too, Nova."

"Good, now get off me, please."

"You're wish is my command mi'lady."

"Very funny."

The two rose from the floor and Nova placed the plate back in the kitchen. Then she took ahold of Antauri's hand and dragged him to her room. Upon entry, Antauri was surprised at the changes the female monkey had made. She had placed decorations for the upcoming holidays up. She also had posters of figure skaters, snowboarders, and skiers up. It actually gave him some ideas for their date.

"Wow, when did you get attached to these sports?" He questioned.

"It's actually been a silly dream of mine to ice skate and snowboard without being bothered by the cold." She shivered just thinking about the incident so long ago.

"Don't worry, everyone has their fears they have to cope with."

"What about you? I have yet to see one thing you're afraid of." She gave him an irritaed look, trying to prove him wrong.

"I am afraid of something." He said quietly. Nova gave him a quizzing look, "And just what fear would that be?"

"Promise you won't tell anyone?" He asked, a hint of fear in his olive-yellow eyes. "Promise. Now what could the brave and strong, yet gentle and loving second-in-command be scared of?" She said teasingly as she hugged him, snuggling her head under his chin.

"It's actually two fears."

"Ok, first one."

"I'm Claustrophobic (Me: That's the fear of confined spaces, just so you know.)." He said shyly, with a bit of red streaking his nose. Nova smiled from her position, "So I'm Cheimaphobic (Me: That's the fear of cold), is it a big problem?"

"It appears not to be." Antauri gently lifted her head and placed his lips over hers once again. He felt Nova gently apply pressure to his chest, both deepening the kiss and moving him backward. It wasn't long before he felt himself fall backward onto the bed. Their mouths released the others as the pair stared into the others eyes, both loving. "You planned that didn't you?" He questioned.

"Maybe." She answered from her position on top. She rested her head on his chest listening to his heart beat. While she was relaxing, Antauri was thinking, "I know what she likes, now if I can just put it all together then I... wait! She said she wanted to be able to ice skating without fear of the cold. That's it!" "Hey, Nova?"

"Hmmmm?" She was too relaxed to look up at him.

"I need to go take care of something and I can't do that with you laying on me." She looked up at him with a pout, "But I like listening to your heart beat, it's relaxing." She rubbed her nose against his and rolled off him. The two got up and stretched. Antauri began to walk toward the door. "What is that second fear anyway?" She asked suddenly.

The black monkey froze, he had totally forgot about that conversation. He thought of the right words to say, then walked back to stand in front of the golden-furred monkey. "It's not being able to make you happy." He stated as his lips once again pressed against hers. Nova's arms wrapped around Antauri's neck while his arms wrapped around her waist. When the kiss ended, Nova smiled and said, "I don't think that will ever be a problem."

Antauri smiled and left, thinking, "No, I don't think that will be a problem, not with what date is going to be like. I just need the teams help."

It was late when the rest of the team got home. Antauri and Nova had already eaten and the others had eaten out. They tried to sneak in (It's like 10:00 at night) without waking anyone, but unfortunatly Antauri was up waiting for them. "You know I should punish you for this." Chiro was the one to speak, "Sorry Antauri. Time just seemed to fly right by. We didn't realize it was so late." Antauri looked at them sternly, "I'll let you off the hook this time (Their faces lit up)... on one condition." Their expressions dropped. Sprx said, "Let me guess, cleaning duty." Antauri smirked, he knew Sprx despised that duty, "As much as I know you love that chore, that's not it. Nova and I are going out sometime in the next couple weeks, and I have the perfect gift to surprise her with and I need your help to get it done. If you don't help me... cleaning duty the next two weeks." Their response, "We'll help!" Antauri smirked, this was going to blow Nova's mind.

Me: Finally, I completed it. Just what is Antauri planning on doing? I know but your not finding out what it is, until I get the next chapter done or my computer finally quits acting up. Caio.
