Part two: Not THAT monkey
After what happened few minutes ago, Sprx was expecting from Nova to be killed yet, or for her to absolutely break the bet as she would leave to her room once again, but nothing of that happened. Surprisingly, Nova looked like she calmed down, but her expression was still showing how angry she felt. Sprx was being angry also, but at himself, exactly at his mouth. He could crash everything. But he didn't...
Nova was arguing with herself for a long as she was thinking, trying to figure out what is she going to do to make the red monkey pay. Unexpecting it, into her mind poped the decision she had made in her room and she lost all the need to punch him. But she was telling herself it's not worth to punch the crap out of him, since she can make him pay more. And now, when she was angry, she is going to win, no doubt in that. And after that, he will do everything she will tell him to do. She will definately tell him to kiss Gibson first.
She sighed, never letting the glare leave her face, as she made her way to the second controller, sitting to it, making Sprx stare at her surprised with open mouth as he didn't know what to do next. Nova glared at him after she saw him sitting on the same place on ground. "How long am I supposed to wait? Stop staring at me like an idiot and grap that controller finaly," she replied harshly, turning her head to the screen. "Or not, you know what? Forget what I said." By hearing those words, Sprx's mood flew away as he thought the bet was over. "You're being an idiot either this or another way," she added, and for first, Sprx didn't mind her word attack as he made his way to the first controller.
He grapped the controller with his heart beating desperadly, pleading his mind to not screw up at least one thing. "How many games?" he asked her, feeling a bit of joy get lost by seeing how angry she must have been. She glared at him once again. "Only one, Sparky," she replied as she turned once again to the screen. She was not gonna give him any more chances. If he really deserves the reward - what he doesn't either - he will beat her up in this game. But that wouldn't happen even if she wasn't mad.
Sprx gulped as he turned to the screen also, the trust in himself slowly leaving him as he wasn't sure anymore if his luck would be enough to beat her up in one game. And he felt completely everything fly away as he realized she was being angry, and as he saw her pick up the hardest level. He looked down feeling upset already, as he nervously caressed the controller with his forefingers. But he knew he couldn't give up. It might be the first and last chance to get a kiss from the golden female, and he must give everything to the try. He couldn't give up when there was not lost anything at all yet. Sprx turned his gaze at the mainscreen, feeling the will for the win grow up as he got his fingers ready.
Chiro came back to the mainroom during their game together with Otto, as he was hoping Nova was gone and hoping to find Sprx still alive. It was kind of shock for both of them, as he had to tell Otto why he was running for his dear life when he bumped to him. Both of them were too busy to even notice them. Otto and Chiro looked at each other with grins, as they quietly found a way to their chairs, watching both of them in suspense. So far, it was getting interessting a lot.
When they came to the room, Nova was winning, so far. It wasn't like Sprx was losing always, but mostly, yes. Nova was so mad she was pushing all of the buttons so hard, her will to beat up Sprx was stronger than her thoughts still wandering about the decision once again. Sprx was this time controlling his mouth, doesn't letting any word of triumph leave his mouth whenever he got into the winning position. But his heart couldn't help it and it was fasting the beats everytime he got it, what was making Sprx angry, since he had to fully concentrate on the game.
Nova was being fully concentrated on the game for first, already thinking about all the things she will force Sprx to do. Just as she was getting far away with the winning position, she had much more bigger score than Sprx that it was just impossible for him to get closer with the score. She was already imaginning how Sprx would be forced to take a walk around the city in a girly pink dress, how he will have to eat a lot bunches of bananas, how he will be taking over all of their chords and how he will have to kiss Gibson, and how bad she would feel for Gibson herself. As she was first enjoying for it, she lost the mood by hearing the word 'kiss'in her head. By mentioning it, the only thing she saw in front of her was Sprx, smirking at her in a flirty way, his eyes pleading and yet full of hope. She was surprised by it and felt unknown feeling ran through her.
Just as she wasn't fully concentrating on the game, Sprx was slowly beating her for the moment as he got much closer with the score. When Nova noticed it, she started to panic as the anger left her, and she was doing everything she could to get bigger score. No luck in that. She was trying, oh boy, she was pushing these buttons desperadly so hard she thought she will destroy them, but either that or another way she was not getting better. From this moment both Otto and Chiro got so interessted they were almost forgetting to breath, and Nova was starting also, as panic and fear overtook her. Her heart was bumping so loudly she could hear it in her ears. She can't lose. She just can't!
Sprx was not getting happy yet, because he knew just as he would, he would get back to the losing position. He kept his mind clear and tried to control his mood, what we couldn't say about Nova. She had totally lost it. She was already getting the fear of having to kiss that red monkey. The unknown feeling came back to her senses as she was slowly forgetting which button she should push next and getting nervous by every second.
She already saw in her head how ashamed she will feel by seeing that red monkey jump and scream around like an animal, and then by seeing his triumhpal yet flirty expression as he will stick out his lips. She didn't know what to do. She was thinking so deeply about it she was staring at the screen, doesn't realizing what was she pushing or how she was on it, and she completely froze on the place as the loud beep coming out from the screen took her back to reality. She felt how her heart stopped, how she couldn't take a breath. She was staring at the screen for several moments, blinking rapidly, doesn't believing to what was written there. PLAYER 1 WINS.
Sprx was staring at it for several moments also. It was hard for him to truly believe it. Did he just beated up Nova? He knew he should be happy, no, he should be jumping thousands meters from the joy, but he couldn't bring himself to. His heart was beating hardly against his chest, like it could jump from him, and he felt the warm yet nervous feeling overtake him as he realized Nova will have to kiss him now.
For how much he was hoping and enjoying for it, now he was unsure of what to do next, or how to do it, since he realized kissing Nova was going to be much harder than he thought. And not only that. How was he supposed to kiss her without telling her he had a big crush on her? How would she exactly respond for it? And what was worser, what if it would destroy that whole small bond they shared with each other? Because he couldn't imagine it would be the same between them if she would completely refuse his feelings. His heart beated painfully by thinking so. He wouldn't be able to act like himself around her anymore. They wouldn't mess and tease each other all the way around anymore. And that was something he wouldn't be able to take, since he needed to be at least a friend to her, if not anything more.
The long and death silence broke the green simian and the boy, what caused both of them snap in shock, as they didn't know they were even there. "Wooh! Sprx is a man!" Otto yelled as he was feeling the joy and happiness grow inside him for his red friend. He knew how big hint he had for the golden female, and since it was almost impossible for him to get closer to her in any way, this should work. "I agree with Otto, for once," replied Chiro grinning at the red simian who was staring at them dumbfounded, "you was pretty holding on in this one." Nova was staring at them also, but she wasn't feeling any anger. She didn't know how to feel. She was staring at them blankly, deep inside in her thoughts.
Both Otto and Chiro had big smiles on their faces, but they faded as they realized Sprx was not enjoying or jumping around from joy, what was so unusual for him. They expected him to do at least one thing, if not anything then comment it, but he was still sitting there, staring at them, doesn't knowing what to do. Chiro was first to respond. "Well? Aren't you going to take your reward?" This caused Sprx to snap out from shock as he found himself gaze nervously in Nova's direction. He couldn't really read her expression, and the silence was starting to kill him inside. Chiro saw his nervousness and he started to understand.
Otto was not getting the point as neither of them said or did anything, and it was starting to get really boring as there was nothing going on there. "Erm, guys?" he caused their attention as they both stared at him. "Shouldn't you two kiss?" at mentioning that word, Nova snapped furiously from her transe as she stood up. "There is absolutely NO WAY for me to kiss that monkey!" as she pointed her finger at Sprx, she was feeling anger grow up on her as she knew that all Sprx deserved was a slap in the face. "I wouldn't do it even if he would be the last monkeyin the whole galaxy!"
Her words surprised not even Chiro and Otto, but even Sprx and at the same time it tore his heart into million pieces. He knew Nova didn't really must him, but he had no idea it was this bad. It was just like he was only annoying for her, a bother, disgust, it was just like she was hating him. It had broken up everything he wanted to do. At the same time it was making him mad, and also for the broken mood he couldn't help to comment it. "Sorry your heighness, as I am probably not good enough monkey for your big perfect head since it's making you to break the bet on giving the winner what he deserved," the comment had deeply touched Nova inside as he was putting an irony tone into the voice. "You know Otto, miss "I-can-kill-you" got to have everything how she wants it, doesn't caring about what the other certain red monkeys thinks about it," he added in angry tone so it shocked all three of them. Nova was getting furious even more as she felt how much it hurted her inside hearing something like this from that monkey, losing her temper already.
"Oh, I'll show you what exactly you do deserve," she replied and snapped at him so fast no of the males could react. Her giant and dangerous fist ended up on Sprx's cheek, slapping him so hard it throwed him to the other corner of the room, causing the monkey to yell and screech from pain as he ended up on the control panel, destroying half of it. Nova didn't really know why she did it, if it was supposed to be from anger or from pain he caused her to feel by those words, but next thing she did was snap from shock as she realized she could have really hurt him and she couldn't bare herself to look at any of the males. For what she wanted to make him pay, she was not feeling content, but guilty and hurted as she shuted her eyes, turned around on her feet and ran to her tube faster than any of the males could respond.
When Sprx managed to realize what happened, he moaned out loud for the pain he was in, especially when he touched the red mark on his cheek. Even a simple yet gentle touch hurted it. Chiro and Otto were next to him in no time, scanning him if he had some injuries. In the mean time came to the mainroom Antauri together with Gibson just right when Nova ran to her tube, avoiding any contact with them as both of them realized it had something to do with Sprx. When they saw him lay on the panel like that, they ran to him within a second. "What happened?!" Antauri asked angrily as Gibson scanned Sprx's body. Both Chiro and Otto looked at each other, then at Sprx. Sprx grunted in pain as he was trying to ignore it, since the pain inside him seemed to be much bigger. "Nothing unusual Antauri," he replied weakly, "just my big mouth, is all." He finished, causing both Otto and Chiro get shock expressions on their faces. He was taking it at himself, even if it was not fully his fault.
Antauri only shook his head. Gibson turned to them. "We need to get him to the Med Bay," he said as Antauri nodded, and both of them gently and slowly took Sprx from the panel. "Ouch! Watch out for my tail, Brainstrain!" he yelled out loud as he grapped it, Gibson only rolling his eyes. "Tail is the last thing you should be worried about," he finished as they slowly took him to his laboratory.
In the mainroom was now only Chiro with Otto. The green simian sighed as he looked at the panel. "At least I got something to do now," he said as Chiro nodded in agreement, looking back at the yellow tube Nova had left in with confusion. "Well, there is one positive thing after all," Chiro said making Otto to look at him in curiosity. "The mainscreen survived."
Well, what a surprise. O-o Sprx had won the game, but he got something he didn't really want to get. Heh. Poor monkey.
This part wasn't so long. Whatever, if you're lazy, it's only for your own good.
So, what do you think? What's gonna happen next?
Why the hell do you even wonder about it? You got next part right there waiting for you, so stop finally reading those my notes and go read it! It's starting to feel lonely.
