This chapter is romantic and the suspense happens:)
Rev walked in the lab with a bouquet of blue and black roses. He was planning to give them to her. But Kiko wasn't in there. Rev then saw there was a note on her desk. He picked up the note which read 'Be back at 5.' The roadrunner looked at the clock on the wall. The clock read 4:48.
"I - guess - I - can - practice - until - she - get - here." Rev said to himself. "Okay," Rev started. "Uh,- Kiko - I - was - wondering - if - you - were - busy - tonight ." He started to relax a little. "If - you're - not - maybe - if - you - want - to - you - could - catch - a - movie -with - me - later. Ugh, who am I kidding she gonna say no." He said with slow voice for the fourth time today.
"How do you know that's for sure?" A familiar voice said behind him. Rev froze until he started to slowly look behind him. That's when he saw Kiko.
"I - thought - you'd - be- back - at - five. Rev said back at his fast pace.
Kiko looked at the clock. It read four fifty - two. "I forgot to change clock since it was behind a some minutes."
Rev started to blush. "How much did you hear?" He then said.
"Everything." Kiko said.
"Oh."
"Well?" Kiko asked when she crossed her arms.
"Well what?"
"I could've sworn you was about to ask me out before I came in." She said with a grin.
"Oh right," Rev said still blushing. He then gave Kiko the roses. "Uh, Kiko if your not busy I was wondering would… you… go out on a… date with… me?" He asked looking down then at her. He saw her smiling, something she don't do much.
"Sure, why not." She said.
"Really." Rev said with a big smile.
"Of course, I don't get asked out much by guys much." Kiko said.
'I can't imagine that.' Rev thought. "So,- would - seven - be - good?" Rev asked.
"Yeah." Kiko answered.
"Great," Rev said "I'll - meet - you - at - your - door." Rev ran out the lab. When he ran out and was in the hallway he had a huge grin. "Yes! Whoo!" He screamed out loud.
It was loud enough for Kiko to hear it. She giggled at this.
-o-
It was now 6:59 and Rev was waiting outside Kiko's door. He wore a pair of blue jeans with a red t-shirt that said Speed Demon in black letters.
Just then the door slid opened. Kiko was wearing a black leather mini skirt; a pair of red leather knee high boots; a red shirt and her special black leather jacket that stretched up to her abdomen. And of course her usual spike accessories, but she only wore her spike headband. Rev's mouth fell opened.
"Too much?" Kiko asked. Rev then was knocked out of his thoughts.
"No, - you - look - great." He said. "Really stunning."
"So, where we going?" Kiko asked.
"Well - there's - a - movie - that - I - know - you'll - like - that - I - had - in - mind." Rev said with a smile. "Come-on."
-o-
They were watching a romance slash action movie (one of my favorite movie, if you read my profile) The Last Dragon. Well the redone version. (The real movie came out on video in 1985, watch it sometime; they have it on YouTube:) The movie was on the part where Leroy looks around the studio with. Kiko have seen the older version of this movie and knew what to expect since they didn't change much of it. This was the one of the most romantic part of the movie that she adored. The scene then takes the couple one a martial artist another the TV host started to kiss. Rev looked at Kiko a bit seeing her eyes staring at the screen without blinking.
'She must really like this part.' Rev thought.
Rev then looked down and noticed Kiko's hand was resting on the bar. He put his hand on top of her hand. Kiko noticed and looked at Rev with a grin before she looked back at the screen. A hour later the movie was over and everybody was walking out the theater.
"That - actually - was - a - great - movie." Rev said.
"Yeah." Kiko agreed.
Rev looked at his watch. It was nine thirty - four p.m. and there was still a little light outside. They decided to walk back to HQ. Half way back to HQ Kiko had looked up at the now dark sky.
"You can never see stars in the city." Kiko said a little down. She missed living in the small part, town of Okinawa, Japan. She was able to see the stars anytime at night.
"I - can - fix - that," Rev said. "Follow - me."
They were walking down a dark alley.
"Where are you taking me?" Kiko asked.
"You'll - see." Rev said trying to keep it a surprise.
They started to climb up a ladder at the end of the alley. They then reached the top which was about 6 feet. Rev then looked up as well as Kiko. They looked up to a cluster of stars in the sky. Kiko was amazed at by this.
"Wow." The hybrid whispered under her breath.
Rev smiled at this. "Hey - there's - a - shooting - star," Rev said looking back at the starry sky. "Make - a - wish.
Kiko never believed in such things but went ahead and did it. The two different species both closed their eyes.
Kiko was the first to open her eyes. "What you wish for?" Kiko asked.
Rev opened his eyes. "I wished… that I had the courage to… kiss you right now." He said looking at her direction.
Kiko made a cute face. "Then why don't you?" She asked.
He then faced her all the way and kissed her on the lips. They only kissed for a few seconds before they broke up.
Rev then asked, "What - did - you - wish - for?"
"I wished… that you kiss me again." Kiko said with a grin.
Rev snickered a little. "No problem." Rev answered back.
And that's how it happened. They spent the rest of five minutes kissing under the starry sky. They decided to go back to HQ since it was getting unusually cold in the summer. (This can happen since it was hot in the winter last year.)
-o-
It was now ten twenty - nine at night. They was now riding up the elevator while (you guessed it) kissing. This might be their only chance before they meet up with the other members. But when they got out they saw nobody was in the living room. It was dark with the lights out. Kiko turned on the lights.
"Is everyone asleep or what?" Kiko asked.
Rev used his GPS to go through the tower. "Yep,- I - see - everyone - in - the - bed… even - Tech." Rev answered.
"Well I guess I'm going to bed too," Kiko started. "I'm tired." She started to walk down the hallway.
Rev followed. Kiko's room was a few doors away from Rev's.
"Well I'll see you in the morning." Kiko said.
The canine faced Rev and gave him a kiss on the cheek. Rev did the same thing to her. Kiko then went inside her room; Rev started to walk to his room until he heard a "What the fuck?!"
Rev started to walk back to Kiko's room and opened the door and had stepped in.
"What - is - it?" He asked then looked down. "What the fuck is that?" He asked a little disgusted.
"It looks like a dead possum." Kiko answered.
"How - did - it - get - in - here?" The roadrunner asked.
"That's what I'm wondering." Kiko said.
The possum looked about 11 inches. With its throat cut and blood all over the carpet. They both looked disgusted by this. Knocked out of her thoughts Kiko went to the other side of her room to get a broom and a dustpan. She swept up the dead animal and threw it away in the trash can then tied up the bag.
"You - want - me - to- throw - it - away?" Rev asked.
"Sure." The canine mix answered.
She handed the bag to him and Rev ran out to throw it out in a dumpster outside. Kiko looked around her room looking for holes or anything. But found none. Rev then came back in.
"This is impossible," Kiko said, "There's no holes and I doubt anyone in the tower did this."
Rev then started to think "Maybe - we - should - look - at - the - security - cameras." Rev then said.
"You're right," Kiko said. "Come on."
-o-
They looked at the cameras in the lab. They saw the Loonatics walking past the room but never stopped at it. Kiko then checked the cameras outside. Nobody had opened her window.
"I don't get it." Kiko said. Rev started to think
"Maybe - you - need - to - figure - it - out- in - the - morning - Kiko. It's - getting - a - bit - late." Rev said.
"Maybe," Kiko said yawning, "But I'm not sleeping in my room tonight."
Rev started to blush. "Maybe - if - you - want - to - you - could - sleep - in - my - room." Rev said. Kiko looked at him.
'I don't know." She thought. Kiko then started to blush. "Um, okay," Kiko said still blushing. "Just let me put on my bed clothes."
"Okay, - just - knock - on - my - door." Rev said before running off.
-o-
Kiko was wearing her blue silk pajama set. She was now at Rev's door and knocked. Rev opened his door wearing his red and white pajamas. Kiko went inside the room. His room's wall was a cream color and had a few posters of the team. His carpet was a teal green. He also had a bookshelf, desk with a computer, and... a plush toy of her.
"Uh, is that me?" Kiko asked pointing her finger towards it. Rev looked at the direction and started to blush.
"Uh, yeah," He said with a nervous smile. 'Shit, I forgot to replace that.' He thought.
There was now a awkward silent moment. "Uh, so how we going to do this?" Kiko asked breaking the silence.
"Whatcha - mean?" Rev asked back.
"Where am I sleeping?" She asked.
"Oh, well I was thinking you could sleep in the same bed. But - of - course - if - you're - not - comfortable - with - that - I - can - just - sleep - on - the - floor - and…" He would of kept going if a familiar hand didn't shut his mouth.
"Rev calm down," Kiko said, not letting go of his beak. "I'm not going to let you sleep on the floor, due to the fact this is your room. Okay." Rev just nodded. "Besides," Kiko said, moving her hand away from his beak. "Just because we sleep in the same bed doesn't mean we're actually sleeping together." She started to blush as much as Rev now.
"Okay." Rev said.
They were sleeping back to back in the bed. Rev was deep asleep even snoring a little. Kiko was still awake from Rev's snoring. As she closed her eyes she was acknowledging all the things that happened today. She then noticed something that she always thought about. Yep, she's in love with the roadrunner. No doubt about it. It was also noticeable that Rev felt the same way too. She wondered how his parents would feel about this. Back to reality Kiko felt an arm around her waist. She looked behind her only turning her head and saw Rev still asleep.
Kiko signed with a small smile. 'Just like Hooleo.' She thought before drifting off to sleep.
