"Hey everyone," Leena said, walking into the kitchen smiling. She had pretended that after Bit left she was fine. But she wasn't, and they all knew it, but just couldn't remind of her of it.
"Hey," Jamie responded, while checking on whatever he was cooking.
"So any zoid battles today?" Leena questioned.
"Nope, none today. So all of us are free to do what we want today."
"Okay. So what are you guys gonna do? I think I'm just gonna hang around the hover cargo."
"I think I'm going to work on the Raynos," Jamie said. "You never know, we might need it sometime. What about you, Brad?"
"Huh? Oh, I guess I'll just work on my—" Brad was cut off by a knock on the door.
"I wonder who that could be," Leena said and stood up to get the door. As she opened it, her face lit up. "Naomi!"
"Hey, Leena. How are you?" She asked stepping inside.
"I'm great. Come in, you're just in time for lunch."
The two young women walked into the kitchen surprising Jamie, Brad, and Doc who had just come into the room. "Hey, everyone. Hey, Brad."
"Uh, hey Naomi," he said.
"So, I guess you got a change of plans, huh Brad?" Leena teased.
He growled lightly under his breath. "Okay, so what? So what about we go to town then Naomi?"
"Sure. But I think I'll eat first, I'm starving," she smiled.
"Here ya go," Jamie set placing large plates of food on the table. Everyone dug in and soon all of it was gone.
"So you ready to go, Naomi?"
"Yeah, let's go," she said. She got up and began to walk toward the door with Brad right next to her. "Hey, I almost forgot to mention," Naomi said pausing for a moment. "Leon should be coming to visit today. See ya, everyone." She gave a small wave and left with Brad.
"Cool, Leon is coming!" Leena smiled. 'Now, I won't have to spend the day around here with Harry,' she thought.
"Hey look at that," Naomi said as she and Brad arrived in town.
"What?"
"That building right there." She pointed at what a large building hat had what looked like the roman style pillars.
"Hey, let's look inside," she said.
"Why? It's probably just a library or something."
"Even better," she smiled and grabbed his hand. He blushed at the sudden gesture, but didn't have much time to think about it as she dragged him in the building. "Wow, it is a library! It's beautiful. Come on, let's look around."
"Um, okay." If it had been any other person, Brad wouldn't have even thought of the building. But he knew Naomi would like it, and if she was happy about it, he was sure he could be, too.
Two hours later Naomi was looking through a shelf of books and Brad just stood there watching her. Suddenly, a person carrying a huge pile of book bumped into them. The books toppled over them, and Naomi began to fall, but Brad caught her right in time. "Thanks, Brad," she said as she looked up at him. They just stood there staring into each other's eyes. They inched closer and closer together, and they both shut their eyes.
"Ouch!" A voice interrupted the moment.
"Huh?" Naomi said turning around, as Brad cursed to himself.
"Hey, are you okay?" Naomi asked the person on the floor, offering him her hand.
"I'm fine," the young man said coldly, and stood up.
"Well, geez, I was just trying to help," Naomi said.
"Yeah, well I don't need your help, lady," he said looking up to glare at her. "Naomi?"
"Bit!!!" Brad said, who had been quiet through all of this.
"Uh, Brad. Um, hi guys," they all stood quiet just staring at each other. "Well, I uh, I gotta go, see ya guys," Bit said as he began to walk away.
"Bit wait!" Naomi called.
"Huh?" He said flipping around.
"You forgot your books," Naomi said pointing at the heap on the ground.
"Oh, yeah, those. I almost forgot about them." He bent down and began to pick up the books.
"So how have you been Bit. It's been a long time," Brad said helping Bit pick up the books along with Naomi.
"Uh, I'm okay, I guess. What about you guys? How is S class?"
"It's okay, hard, but okay. I think we can live up to their demands," Brad smiled.
"Well, that's great."
"Do you battle anymore?" Naomi asked.
"Uh, only people that mess with me and Liger. You know, those gangs that hang around the desert."
"Oh," Naomi said glancing over at Brad and smiling. They both remembered the Sand Sting Ray gang very well.
"So where is the Liger?" Brad asked.
"Oh, Liger, he stays in my zoid repair shop a couple of blocks away." Bit said placing the books on a table.
"Could we see it?" Naomi asked.
"Um, sure. Let's go." He said leading the two of them out of the library. "Hey why don't we get the car. I walked over here since it's not too far away."
"Okay," they agreed and all three of them hopped into the car.
"Here it is. Cloud Repair Shop. What do you think?" Bit asked as they walked into the garage.
"Wow, Bit, it's humongous. And look at all these parts! Are you doing everything yourself or something?"
"Yeah, I don't believe in hiring the help. It takes much to long," he laughed.
"Well, follow me, and I'll show you the Liger."
"Wow, it looks even stronger than last time," Brad said.
"Yeah, I've made a lot of modifications. But I think old Liger here misses battling."
"Yeah, I bet he does," Naomi said placing her hand on the Liger's led.
There was a small beep, and Naomi and Bit turned to look at Brad. He looked at his watch. "Hey, it's Jamie guys. I'll be right back." Brad walked outside of the garage to talk to Jamie.
"So Jamie is still with the team, huh?"
"Yup."
"I'm glad," he smiled. "How is everyone?"
"Well, like I said Jamie is still n the team, but you know since you left he has been on the team fighting in zoid battles. Mostly just staying the Wild Eagle. Doctor Toros, well he's just, uh, him." She laughed. "And Leena," she paused and waited for Bit's reaction to the name. As she predicted he suddenly looked uneasy and tense. "She is great. A much better warrior now. And she and Harry seem to be pretty close." She still slightly resented him for leaving her behind. She was never sure what really happened between the two if them, if they were ever together or not, but she was still felt a little sorry for him. "Maybe it's good for her," she added in a kind of sympathetic way.
"Yeah, I'm sure it is," he said with a fake smile.
"Did something happen, Brad?" Naomi asked as he came into the room.
"Oh, nothing. Jamie just called to say Leon will be there around dinner, and Leena wants us there."
"Oh, ok. That's gives us the rest of the day. Wanna come, Bit?"
"Oh, no thanks. I have some zoids to work on."
"Oh, all right, then, Bit. It was nice to see you again."
"You, too, Naomi," he smiled.
"So see you around, bud?" Brad said.
"Yeah, but you know what that means."
"Yeah, it means that there is a slim chance we'll ever see each other again, right?"
"Yeah," he smiled.
"Wait, Bit, since Leon is here tonight, why don't you come for dinner," Brad offered.
"I don't think I could. I mean, I wouldn't want to intrude on anything. I—"
"Come on, Bit. One more dinner before you say see ya around."
"Okay, fine. I'll be there."
"Okay, we'll see you then, bye!" Naomi said, as she and Brad headed toward the jeep.
"What are you thinking, Brad?" Naomi said as they drove away from the repair shop.
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"Inviting him to dinner! DO you realize how Leena will react? And how he will react to see her, with HARRY! I mean, they're about to have the worse night of their lives!"
"Wait, it's not like they were together!"
"Ugh!! Brad! It's obvious they were in love with each other! And it's obvious he still loves her! What are we going to do!"
"Well, I don't know! It's not like we can uninvited him or something!"
"I know! I guess we'll just hope they can live through this night," she said staring off to the side.
"Yeah, I guess."
'What am I thinking? Going to dinner there! When Leena is there! I mean, am I out of my mind!' "What do you think, Liger?" Bit asked. It just gave a small roar. "I guess, I have no other choice but to go. Liger hold down the fort. I'll be back later, I need to clear my head, buddy." He said, and liger just roared again. Bit then left the garage and walked around the large park in the heart of the city.
They were happy couples walking around the park, holding hands and talking endlessly. And others, not talking at all. (Get my point, hehe.) "I wonder what it would be like if Leena and I were still like that," Bit whispered to himself as he plopped down onto a park bench.
I ran into a friend of ours the other day
And I asked her how you've been
She said my girl is fine
Just bought a house real good man
"Leena, what would have happened if we had stayed together?" He thought a thousand different ideas flooding his head.
I told her I was glad for you, that's wonderful
But does she ever ask 'bout me
She said she's happy with her life right now
Let her go, let her be
~*Daydream*~
"Leena, will you be my wife?" Bit Cloud asked kneeling on one knee.
"Oh, Bit, of course I will!" She said throwing her arms around him.
"You will?" He asked shocked she had said yes.
"Yes! Don't sound so surprised silly!" She smiled, tears of joy falling down her cheeks.
"Does that me you won't steal my cookies anymore?" He asked. She just laughed. "No, seriously," he said. She pulled back and looked at him, then whacking him over the head. "Is that a no?"
~*End Daydream*~
And I told her that I would
But something in my heart just would not let you go
I just wanna know
~*Daydream*~
"Everyone, we have something to tell you. Leena and I have been, uh, seeing each other for almost a year now. We're sorry we didn't tell you all. We just didn't know how to tell you. And we're getting married."
Doc, Brad, Jamie, Leon, and Naomi laughed. "What?" He and Leena demanded.
"As if we didn't know. We've known about it since the beginning!" Doc exclaimed.
"How come no one said anything!" Bit cried.
"Because, we thought you two liked sneaking around and thinking we didn't know. And pretending like things were normal," Jamie said.
The two of them just sighed, and sweat dropped.
~*End Daydream*~
What if we were wrong about each other
What if you were really made for me
What if we're supposed to be together
Would that not mean anything
What if that's supposed to be my house
The you go home to everyday
How can you be sure that things are better
If you can't be sure your heart ain't still her with me
Still wanting me
~*Daydream*~
"I do," Leena said.
"Then I know pronounce husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," Leena and Bit smiled, and he wrapped her up in a passionate kiss. The entwined arms and walked down the aisle. As they did, Bit stepped on a flower, and fell over. The whole Church, including Leena, just laughed and she pulled him back up, laughing uncontrollably.
~*End Daydream*~
Your friend asked me is there was someone special
In my life that I was seeing
I told her there was no one in particular
There is just I, myself, and me
I told her that I dream of you quite often
She just cut her eyes at me
She said you got a home you're very happy
So just stop your meddling
I told her that I would
I told her things were cool
But I guess I was wrong
I still can't move on
~*Daydream*~
"Bit, let me have that cookie!" Leena yelled. The happy couple had been married for a year now.
"But, babe, I'm hungry," he said.
"Well, we're hungry!" Leena screamed pointing at herself and her stomach.
"Eeep! Okay, okay, I'll get another one," he said.
"Good," she hmphed in triumph.
~*End Daydream*~
What if we were wrong about each other

"Leena, I'm sorry for whatever I did. And I still love you," he said to himself quietly.
