Leonna went to live with her uncle, Leonard when she turned 14. She was an incredibly gifted child. She was attending the university that her uncle worked at on a full scholarship and she got to choose any course. Surprisingly, she became a literature major, but because of her family, she minored in physics. She'd already chosen every class except for one, a physics class. She'd wanted to take plasma physics but it interfered with her Writers of America course so she'd dropped it. There were only a few classes available for the time period she had. Scratching her brownish-red curls she scanned the list again. "Computer-tech, AP-physics, forces and motion, Robotics, Physics II." Leonna smiled and checked one of the classes.

Leonna handed the paper to her uncle. "You sure?" Leonard asked, looking at her over the rim of his glasses. He was NOT a big fan of the professor of that class at all.

"I'm always sure." she said, heading towards her next class. Leonard watched her walk off. He had to deal with this rebel teen for the next 4 years? Great! Leonard sighed. This wouldn't be fun for him at all.

"Alright class, pwe- Please have a good night and don't forget about those simulations for Monday!" shouted Professor Kripke as he turned off the projector. As the last of his students left he began shuffling through his papers. "Leonna, please stay after class for a moment." He asked nonchalantly.

Leonna smiled, Kripke was her favorite professor, he was half the reason she was still in robotics. "Sup, Professor Kripke? And you know you can call me Lee, everyone does."

Kripke' s heart fluttered. He knew it was wrong. She was his student, she was 15 he was 22, but still, she was beautiful, adorable, and so smart! He couldn't help it, but he had business. "The Pasadena robotics tournament is the weekend and I need a partner to help me with the final simulations and adjustments, pwus- Plus you have to have a partner, would you like to help?"

Lee smiled. She knew her professor was always working hard to maintain his lisp, and she was proud that he had overcome it; it made her feel that if he could do something so great, she could to. She smiled softly at him, making his heart skip a beat, gosh she was so innocent and lovely he just wanted to take her in his arms and- his train of thought was interrupted. "I'd love to Professor, but on one condition." Kripke bit his upper lip and looked upward at her in question. "Can I call you Berry while we're working?"

Kripke almost choked on his saliva, was she really asking him to call him by his first name? The most intimate word you could call a person of such an informal relationship? He was shocked, but he couldn't let that show. "Sure, why not? We'll be in a more casual environment, go ahead, call me Berry!" he said, smiling. "Go have fun," he paused "Lee."

She sighed and shook her head happily. "I'll tell my uncles you said hi." She shouted over her shoulder, her knee high leather boots clicking against the floor."

With one final blow, "Monty II" was out and Berry and Leonna were the winners. Both their jaws dropped as they smiled. They looked at each other in stunned awareness at what they just did. They just beat the best of the best and became national winners! Lee threw her arms around Berry's neck and laughed into his ear. He tentatively wrapped his arms around her, hesitating but only slightly. He tightened his grip on her slightly, smiling into her hair, they won! "We won Berry!" she whispered excitedly into his ear.

He smiled just a little wider and gentler. "Yeah we did kid, all thanks to you." He whispered into her hair.

"Eh-hem!" they heard someone cough behind them. Blushing they let go of each other, Berry with his arms behind his back, Lee scratching her head, fidgeting her hands until they rested on her legs seconds later. Both were blushing the roots to their hair. "Well, congratulations you two, you really deserved it!" said Leonard, trying to ignore the fact that one of his mortal enemies was now so close to his niece that she allowed him to hug her!

"Well, I knew we'd cream you!" she laughed, shaking of the awkward.

"Well, we need to get home, com on Lee." said Leonard, turning on his heel.

"No thanks." She said to everyone's surprise, even more shocking was what she said next. "Berry and I are going to have a celebrating lunch." She smiled, looping her arm in Berry's

Is it ok? I tried as hard as I could, is Berry a little OOC? If so, I'm open to pointers and anything you want to say!
