AUTHOR'S NOTE:Hey,thanks a bunch for coming back! As you can see,my current fangirling is directed at L.O.S.E. I'm having a lot of fun writing this,and I hope you enjoying reading it as well. Feel free to share your thoughts!

+The Front Yard Of L.O.S.E. HQ+

Red stood holding the garden hose above Voltar who was playfully jumping in and out of it's stream. He was bare except for some swimming trunks and his usual helmet.

Frogg sat in a lawn chair away from his cheery friends.

"Ugh,imbeciles..."

Suddenly,he felt heat on the back of his turned to see a mouthful of sharp immediately who it was,the mad scientist jumped up from his chair and ran for the front door of the head quarters.

"AHH!! NO!!!"

He screamed running from the hell hound known as Doomageddon. Unfortunately for him,the beast had caught him by a pants leg.

"AHH!! NOOO!! HEEELP!"

Red,who was now splashing giddily in a puddle,looked towards the doctor's screams.

"Frogg?" The tall man in green said.

"Oh it's okay,Red. Doomageddon is just hungry."

Said Voltar nonchalantly. In the distance,Frogg's head was being drooled on by the animal. But Voltar paid no mind. He sprayed himself with the water hose again with a childish smile. He then stopped,dropping the hose.

"Something the matter,Voltar?"

"It's hot out! Too hot...FROGG!" His shrill voice echoed.

Frogg,who now had his left leg in Doomageddon's grasp,raised his face up. A small "Ugh" was all he could manage.

"Frogg. I want you to go to the store and pick me up a bottle of suntan lotion!"

"Ooh Ohh! Can we get some ice cream too?!"Red Menace asked with a excited smile.

Voltar's little gold eyes rolled. "Fine. Yes."

"YAY!" Red exclaimed.

"So could you be so kind as to run a few errands Doktor Frogg?"

Frog thought. Going to the store would mean getting away from that ferocious beast that still had a death grip on his leg.

"Fine. I'll go..."

+Food Store+

Frogg walked through the aisles with a had given him enough money to get both the suntan lotion and ice cream as well as some snacks. Frogg stood trying to decide which type of lotion would be best for his foolish leader.

He soon began to get lost in his thoughts. was their leader? How embarrassing for a man of his intellectual strength to ride on the coat tails of such a childish person. He was always being bossed around,always doing hard work. Yet never received so much as a thank you.

Frogg started to grumble in anger as he read the labels on the various lotion bottles,running a claw over them as he did. But his clouded thoughts soon cleared when his mechanical hand brushed against a small,flesh one. He turned his eyes to the hand's owner only to jump back blushing.

A young woman stood before him. She had medium length hair that was brought into two messy pigtails. He noticed how bright her hair was.
It looked blond at first,but upon further inspection,it turned out to be a very light red. Freckles covered the skin under her eyes,which were a bluish green. He could just stare.

"Oh sorry..." She spoke.

"Uh..no..I....uh....ah.."

She looked at him questionably,then smiled weakly.

"It's okay dude...don't worry..."

~S-she called me dude...~

"Ahh! It's fine...fine..." His face grew red with both embarrassment and something else. The girl couldn't help but find him weird. And cute.

She giggled.

"Are you okay? You look a little...red.."

"Um...no...I'm fine...Hehehe..." He gave her a big fake smile.

"Well...okay then..." The young woman turned and began to leave but was stopped when Frogg spoke up.

"Ahh....umm..."

She turned around. The man in blue was fiddling with his claws. She wondered how he had gotten them.

"Yes?"

He didn't know why,but something inside of himself was telling him to be brave. He knew he couldn't go on forever being such a coward. He cleared his throat.

"I don't believe I've seen you around before..."

"Oh,well,you wouldn't. I...uh...just moved here."

"Ahhh...really...where are you originally from?"

The girl looked to the side nervously.

"The country...I doubt you'd know the anyway,what's your name?"

"Oh ah,my name? Yes...uh it's Frogg... Uh,Doktor Frogg."

"Doctor? Funny,you don't look like one."

"Well,mad scientist,technically." He rubbed the back of his head.

"You can call me Vampress..."

"Oh...okay..." Frogg blushed harder.

"So your a villain... What kind of work do you do?"

Frogg was surprised she wasn't put off by his job title.
It was then he noticed her clothing. She wore a purple skin tight body suit,black laced corset,boots and gloves and a black cape. He knew then why she wasn't bothered with the fact that he was a villain. It was because she was one as well.

"Ahh,well...I haven't done much recently..kind of on a hiatus..."

"Oh...Well I know the feeling...kinda..I'm just starting out..."

"Really? No offense but I wouldn't say that the life of a villain is one for a little girl."

"I'll be 18 soon enough." She said smiling.

"Ah,well...good luck to you then..."

Her smiled deepened. Her cheeks seemed to take on a rosy appearance.

"Thank you..."

"Your welcome..."Frogg said hazily. His eyes were too fixated on her face. She was simply gorgeous...

"Hmm...well I should go...it was nice meeting you though I'll see you around town sometime."

"Yes,yes..."He said snapping out of his haze. She waved goodbye to him smiling. He did the same to her. Frogg picked a bottle of lotion at random and then walked away humming. His stomach was filled with butterflies. His heart beat fluttering. If he had palms,they'd be sweating. But he felt amazing. He whistled his way to the checkout then went home.

+Back At H.Q.+

Voltar and Red had taken themselves inside to watch a 4 hour marathon of had made popcorn for the both of them. They both looked to the door when Frogg came in. But he didn't just walk in,he seemed to float in. He was humming an unnamed song to himself. Voltar jumped up and ran to him.

"Where's my lotion?"

Frogg continued to hum as he put away the food he had purchased.

"Frogg...where is my LOTION?"

Still no answer. The little red villain began to steam with anger. He leaped onto Frogg's back and grabbed his head,turning it around to face him.

"FROGG. WHERE. IS. MY. LOTION???!!"

"Oh,I'm sorry Voltar,did you say something?" Frogg said with low eyes and a smile.

"RRGGGG.... Gimme' that bag!" He snatched the bag on the counter then began to sift through it's contents,randomly throwing out things that didn't interest him. Soon he found his lotion.

"AHH! And it's just the right stuff!"

Voltar stood up and walked out of the kitchen,the bottle of lotion in his hand. Red walked over to Frogg,who stood staring off into nothing,still smiling sleepily.

"Um,Doktor Frogg are you okay? You look a little...off.."

"Oh Red. I met a girl today." Frogg immediately spilled himself to the taller man.

"She was so sweet. So kind...so....beautiful!..."His eyes turned into hearts.

"Aww! Frogg has a crush!"

"Wait,what? But I can't! That's so...un-villain like..."

Red only looked at the dark haired scientist,an eyebrow raised.

"Oh,who am I kidding...I really do like her,Red.."

"I think that's just swell Frogg! When do we get to meet her?!"

"Meet her? She... She just said she'd see me around town...Ahh..."

"You didn't get her number?"

Frogg stood quietly.

"Oh no..." He slumped to the floor.

"Oh don't be sad,Doktor Frogg. I'm sure you'll see her again. Metrotown ain't that big of a place!"

Frogg looked to his co-villain,then smiled.

"Your right,Red...I just have to wait..."

"That's the spirit! Now let's go watch T.V.!"

+Skullososs' Ship+

"SHE'S GONE??!!!"

"I'm sorry sir,but we can't find her anywher-"

Skullososs grabbed his minion's throat and lifted him above his head.

"You find my daughter or I'll have your head,do you hear me?!!?!"

The minion could only manage a strangled "Yes" through the villains strong grip.

"Now go." Skullososs dropped him. The minion scurried away in fear. The large man in red turned and looked out a window of his space station and down on Earth. He knew she was down there somewhere...
