Disclaimer: Nope sorry, you got the wrong guy. I don't own Zoids or
anything related to it.
It was late at night and the whole Taros base was silent. Bit didn't raid the fridge that night because of what happened to him the previous night. Leena was snug and happy knowing that Bit feared her more than he use to, thanks to the night before. Brad once again slept with a large bag of money next to him. He was content with the new money he had made in the Zoid battle earlier that day. Doc Taros was hunched over with his fore head against the bright screen showing upgrades and parts. His eyes were shut and mouth wide open as slobber trickled down the corner of it.
But of all the Zoid warriors, Jamie laid wide awake. He turned his head and found that it was already past one and his eyes grew baggy. Yet he still laid there with his mind racing. Remembering the past. Back in the days before the Blitz team, tactics camp. Jamie soon closed his eyes, but didn't fall asleep.
The room lit up with bright screens all around a round table. At the front of the room was a large monitor playing a simulated zoid battle. Jamie sat at one of the monitors typing away. He wore a green vest and a gray long sleeve shirt under it as well as a bright smile. He was so happy that his father was able to get him into tactics school. As he finished imputing the data for that day he stood up. But as he stood up he bumped into someone. Seconds later a small clank sound was made as a pair of glasses hit the metal ground. "Oh, I'm very sorry," Jamie said quickly as he reached for the glasses. When he looked up at the owner he was caught off guard.
It was a girl about his age. She wore a short red skirt, which matched her neck bandana, and a sailor looking white, short sleeve shirt. She had mid length blonde hair that shined in the light and soft, sparkling blue eyes. "No, my fault, I'm so clumsy," the girl smiled.
Jamie cocked his head up to get out of a star and opened his mouth to reply.
"Uh, no problem. H… here yo… you go," Jamie forced out still stunned by her beauty.
"You new here?" the girl asked taking her glasses.
"New?" Jamie asked puzzled. "Do you stay here?"
"Oh no I'm sorry, that came out wrong. I've been coming here for a while so I'm 'old' as they say around here," the girl apoligized in a soft voice. "I meant is this your first time here?"
"Oh, yeah, actually it is," answered Jamie.
"Are you sure you belong here?" the girl questioned her smile disappearing.
"Well… I just came to see if I was good enough, but I may not be. I may not belong…" Jamie began as he looked down.
"Oh I'm sorry," the girl appologized again. "I don't mean it like that, I'm really sorry. I just meant that you looked too cute to be a tactics nerd like everyone else around here."
"Wha… well… I … uh," Jamie stuttered with a crooked smile and blushing some.
"Hey, how 'bout I show you around? You done here?" the girl asked smiling again.
"Su… well… o…okay," Jamie smiled back. The girl escorted Jamie out of the room and down a hall.
"So, what's your name anyway?" the blonde questioned.
"J… Ja…" Jamie stuttered some more and blushing brighter at the shear sight of her face.
"She's so beautiful," Jamie thought. "hurry up Jamie say something. Stop stuttering!"
"Ja," the girl giggled.
"N… no. It's Ja… Jamie," Jamie finally said. The girl suddenly stopped. Jamie walked back up to her and shot her a puzzled look for a few seconds. Then he saw her hand extended. So he reached out and they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you Jamie, I'm Stephanie," the girl answered in her soothing voice. Jamie blushed even a brighter red at the touch of her soft hand. Stephanie then giggled as Jamie looked away. "Come on Jamie, how about you and me grab some lunch? I'm starved," Stephanie asked rubbing her belly with her left hand as she grabbed Jamie's hand with her right.
"Sure," Jamie managed. The Stephanie showed Jamie to a restaurant down the street from their school. After getting their food the two sat down at a two seat table.
"So Jamie, after school, what will you do?" Stephanie asked as she munched on a chip.
"Well I was hoping to become a tactical officer for a good team. But I that didn't work out I would become a Zoid warrior. I love the Zoids!" Jamie explained.
"Wow, you have your hole life planned and ready huh?" Stephanie gazed out the window next to their seat.
"Well how about you," Jamie asked.
"Me? I had thoughts to be a tactics officer as well, but my thoughts have changed," responded Stephanie.
"What would you be instead?" questioned Jamie.
"A childrens' nurse," Stephanie smiled as she turned and look at Jamie in the eyes. Jamie turned away as he turned red. Stephanie giggled lightly at the response.
Soon all flashed forward about a month later. "Well good luck on your test Jamie," Stephanie said as she walked into a booth right next to Jamie's.
"You too Steph," Jamie smiled back.
Next all flashed forward 2 months from that time, the time Jamie and Stephanie graduated. "So how did you do on your test two months ago?" Stephanie asked Jamie as she held her own test.
"I got an A!" Jamie excitedly said. "And you?"
"I got an A-," Stephanie smiled. "I also got a job in the city. I'm called to be a nurse for children!" she explained in an excited tone.
"Wow! That's great!" Jamie replied happily.
"How 'bout you," Stephanie smiled and excited to hear about Jamie's results. Jamie's smile disappeared at the question and he dropped his head. "What's wrong?" asked Stephanie puzzled.
"I've been asked to join the new team, the Blitz team, as their tactical officer," Jamie sadly answered.
"That's great!" the girl said happy for her friend. "You should be happy!"
"Yeah, but I won't be able to see you any more," Jamie replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but don't put your life long dream aside for me. I'm sure they'll let you come visit me a few times!" Stephanie said as she tried to cheer her close friend up.
"Yeah, I guess so," Jamie said looking up as he forced a smile.
"When do you need to leave?" Stephanie asked with her bright smile dying.
"Tomorrow morning," answered Jamie.
"Okay then I'll see you off!" Stephanie forced a smile. The two parted and went back to their rooms. Jamie sat down and felt a sharp pain in his chest. He felt sad that he had to leave such a good friend. Or was that really the reason he felt this way. Jamie soon noticed that tears were now running down his face. No, he knew why he had this pain. It wasn't that Stephanie was such a close friend. It was because he loved her.
Then all flashed to the next day. The two friends stood in front of Jamie's shinny Pteras.
"Well I guess this is good bye," Jamie said after a few moments of silence. More silence followed. Stephanie bit her lip then spoke.
"Well Jamie, I hope it all works out for you," she smiled.
"Yeah you too. I'm definatly sure that the children will love you," Jamie said forcing a smile. Just as he had said the word love his eyes grew watery. Jamie quickly noticed this and turned away. He wiped his face with his sleeve and turned back to the girl. "Sorry, alergies," Jamie smiled. And Stephanie smiled back.
"Well I guess you better get going. Don't want to leave your team hang'n with out a strategy," Stephanie said still smiling.
"Thank you, Stephanie. Thank you for all that you've done for me," Jamie smiled back. Stephanie's eyes also began to water up, but she quickly wiped it away.
"Heh, allergies too," she giggled. "Oh, here." She then leaned forward and kissed Jamie on the cheak. Jamie just stood there stunned. "That's for good luck!" Stephanie backed away with a small smile. Soon Jamie climbed into his Zoid and flew off. His eyes grew watery and he sniffed loudly. He then set his Zoid on auto-pilot and put his face in his hands and cried.
Stephanie watched as the blue Zoid flew off. She then fell to her knees and began to cry with her face buried in her hands.
Jamie then opened his eyes and found tears flowing out of them. He soon felt the same sharp pain in his chest he had felt those years ago. After minutes of crying, Jamie soon fell asleep.
Jamie awoke the next afternoon. It was past 12:00 and raining outside. The boy got dressed and slowly walked down the metal hallway towards the kitchen. He passed the hang out room and noticed Bit standing a few feet from a sobbing Leena. Jamie then remembered that this was the day Leena's mother had died. And, it was also the day he met Stephanie. He slowly moved on as not to disturb Leena and Bit. Jamie did slip on some Jell-O on the way to the kitchen but recovered rubbing his butt.
"Bit must have raided the fridge again," Jamie thought as he peered into the kitchen which was littered with food. "I guess I better go to the store and buy more food," he told himself.
Jamie made his way down to the Zoid hanger when he found that Bit and Leena were getting into the Ligar 0. Jamie stepped over the knocked out Harry and headed for his Rayos.
"He, he, have fun Ligar!" laughed the Raynos in Zoid language which would be just an animal noise to human ears.
"Aw shut up Raynos," retaliated the Ligar 0 with a roar as it ran out the hanger door.
"Well Raynos, its time to go back to the store," Jamie sighed as the cockpit door closed.
"Darn Bit! He raided the fridge again. I can't stand that loser," the Raynos thought as he cursed Bit. The Zoid then took off and flew toward the nearest city. Jamie threw food into a cart and headed for the checkout line.
As he went on his way he passed the pharmecy. A blonde haired girl with a white coat on then bumped into him. A pair of glasses fell to the ground with a small tick sound. With out looking at the girl, Jamie quickly darted toward the glasses.
"I'm sorry miss. Here are your…" Jamie started as he looked up. The girl then looked at him. "glasses!" Jamie gasped and his eyes widened.
"J… Jamie," the girl stuttered.
"St… Stephanie? Is… is that really you?" Jamie stuttered in awe.
"Jamie!" Stephanie cried as she hugged the stunned Jamie. "Oh how I've missed you."
"M… me too," Jamie finally said after some silence. "Why are you here?" Jamie asked after Stephanie backed off.
"I was transferred to this city, and now I'm working with children here," she smiled. "What about you?"
"I'm here to get groceries," Jamie said with a crooked smile as he scratched the back of his head. The two checked out together and moved on.
"You still with the Blitz team?" Stephanie asked as they both walked out.
"Yep! And we're doing quite well! We're in class S!" Jamie bragged.
"Wow! You've really moved up quickly! You must be a real good tactics officer like years ago!" Stephanie smiled. The two talked on about each other's new life until the sun began to set.
"Well, uh, do you want to get together tomorrow?" asked Jamie slowly.
"Why of coarse!" Stephanie immediately responded. "I mean, yes please!"
"Okay, then I'll see ya then!" Jamie smiled and waved as Stephanie slowly walked back to her place. Jamie happily flew his Raynos back to the Taros base.
Later that night the Raynos walked up to the Ligar 0.
"Did little old Ligie Sero have funny wunny?" the Raynos said in a teasing voice to the Ligar 0. "Smooch, smooch!" it laughed.
"Aw shut up!" attacked the Ligar.
