Yes, it is me! ha-ha I've decided to write another One-shot! Yay me! Ok, so every night on nicktoons they've been showing IMAA episodes in a row, and I think that I'm going to do a new one-shot for each episode! Huzzah! That is, if I can find something Pepperony about each one :) So Tonight's episode will be on "Titanium vs. Iron"! Pepper goes out with Happy again, and Tony isn't happy. He picks at her, and this is what I think happened after this episode ended. And now for tonight's episode...

(I sure as pickles don't own IMAA but I wish I did...)

"JEALOUSY"

"How could she date him?!" Tony yelled to no one. The genius was by himself in the armory, writing up some new weapon designs for his Stealth armor. Since the battle with "Titanium Man" earlier that night didn't go too well, he was making sure that all of his suits were in battle ready condition. Now, with all this alone time, he had plenty of opportunity to yell at the inside of the temple, for, uh, some reason?

He sat at his computer desk, blank face after he was done drawing. "I mean the only reason she went out with that dumb-dumb is because I didn't tell her about Whitney and me," he said to himself. Angrily, he continued. "I mean the guy doesn't even know what she likes! Does he know that her favorite color is red? Does he know how to handle her constant babbling? Does he know her favorite bands? Or even her favorite places to eat? Let's face it the guy just isn't fit for her. She's way too smart for him, anyway," Tony said, satisfied with his last remark.

He stood from the computer, and walked over to where he had been working on the armor. He put the suit up for the night, promising to finish repairs tomorrow. Tony laid down his freshly drawn designs on the side table, and stood there, deep in thought. Then he came out of his thought's ready to ramble some more about Pepper and Happy.

"I just can't believe her! How could she date that...that...that Numb skull! Man. I just can't believe her, and she even went on another date tonight when I, I mean me and Rhodey needed her!" By the end of that long-winded complaint, he had started home. When he arrived at the Rhodes house, he quietly snuck in. Up to his room he went to try to get some sleep before school...which was in about 4 hours.

He reached his room, and sat on the end of his bed. The genius couldn't get his mind off of his red-haired friend, and the guy she was going out with. "How could she?" he whispered.

A silent moment passed, and Tony asked himself a question, as if the thought had suddenly accrued to him. "Why do I care about this so much?"

"I mean I shouldn't care who she goes out with. I'm with Whitney now. So why does it matter?" He tried to reassure himself, but he simply confused himself more. The boy fell backwards on his bed in defeat, staring up at the ceiling.

"Why do I care about this so much? I, wait a minute...could I?" He stopped himself mid-sentence with an unexpected thought. Something came to him, and it shocked him. "I'm Jealous," Tony said so quietly, he himself barely heard it. As he sat up, and he said it louder. "I'm Jealous!" he yelled as if he were proud of it. "If I'm jealous, then that would mean I'm attracted to her…but I don't like her like that. She's just a good friend, right?" He thought for a moment, then a moment longer. The more Tony thought, the more he realized that was jealous for a reason, a reason he'd been denying too long. "Who are you kidding, Tony? You do like Pepper."

He had always felt something about her. She was so different and special, a one-in-a-million-girl. And that's why Whitney despises her. He felt so stupid, never putting the clues together. All this time he wondered why he and Whitney never saw eye to eye, why they never could get close enough. It was because he had feelings for another girl, feelings he didn't even know about. But know he knew, and everything was so clear to him.

"How could I have been so blind. Rhodey was right, I'm not bright." The genius mentally and physically face-palmed himself for not seeing it sooner.

He looked at the alarm clock by his bed, bright red numbers read 3:39 am. I can't call Pepper this late, he thought. But I need to talk to her. Despite the late hour of the night, he picked up his pod. He dialed her number and the phone began to ring...ring...ring.

"Ugh, Tony...what are calling so late for? Are you ok?" Pepper said in a groggy tone. Tony answered sweetly, "yeah, I'm fine now that I hear your voice. Hey, can I tell you something?"

"I'm not stopping you." She smiled to herself as he started to speak.

Well? I know it's so long & really pointless but whatevs. Oh and I've decided that the thing below is now my trademark ^.^ So yep...

Hey I just posted this...and this is crazy...but since you've read it...review it maybe?
