Chapter Three: Laughing and Crying

"For the last time mom, I am on the bus" Erik Krinkle shouted into his cell phone. "I can't believe you don't believe your one and only child"

"The last time you told me that lie I spotted you coming out of the arcade!" His mother yelled in the phone so loud Erik had to pull the phone away from his ear.

"I'm not lying this time so get off my back!" He shouted.

His mother gasped "don't you dare use that tone with me young man, I can't believe you are so selfish that you wouldn't even visit your only Uncle in his time in need"

"I'M selfish, you never visit him even once and do you know why because Uncle Gyrus is mentally disturbed freak of nature!" he screamed in the phone and turned off his cell phone.

He looked up to see people staring at him and he growled "what are you looking at" he screamed and the people went back to what they were doing.

He shook his head and went back to his laptop. The blue monkey was looking around for the yellow monkey he fell in love with. The yellow monkey was trying to hide from all her fears but have no idea where to go. He noticed his blue bug, the stone of sadness, found his next target as well as the purple bug.


The heart shape pupils in Gibson's eyes grew ever so bigger as he was searching around the Robot for Nova. His tail was bent to shape as heart and he couldn't get that wide, wide, grin off his face. He stopped next to a room in the middle of the hallway and looked around.

"Nova!" He shouted, down the hallway "Where are you, my dearest love"

Unaware to him that in the very same room he stopped at Sprx was in there polishing his magnets while humming a song. He smiled when he saw his reflection in his well-polished magnets as they shine in the light.

"Looking good" he said to himself.

"Nova!" Gibson shouted again and this time Sprx looked up from his magnets and raised an eyebrow. He turned his magnets back into his hands and walked over to the door.

As he was walking to the door, the blue bug's wings flicker for a second and flew down from the ceiling and landed on Sprx's back. The bug crawled deep into his red fur and bite into his flesh. Sprx jumped a little from the little pinch and scratch his back. He suddenly felt tire as he reach the door and open it to see Gibson in a rather awkward stage.

"What's with all the screaming Gibson" He asked.

When Gibson turned around Sprx nearly cringed from the rather happy look on Gibson's face. "Gibson, are you alright"

"I can never be alright my brother unless I express my feelings to the one person I love" Gibson said, high and mighty.

The itch on Sprx's back started to act up again causing Sprx to scratch his back again "did something happen to you in your lab again Brain strain"

"Yes, in fact something did happen when I was leaving the lab" Gibson said.

The wide grin and the crazy look in Gibson's eyes were freaking Sprx out as he let him finish.

"But of course I have no time to tell you, I need to find Nova" he said, running off.

"Why do you need to find Nova" Sprx asked.

Gibson stopped and smiled at his clueless brother "I need to find her and tell her, I LOVE HER" he said, then took off again leaving Sprx dumbfounded with his jaw slightly ajar.

But before he could react to the most horrible news he ever heard Chiro popped out of nowhere and shouted "Sprx, have you seen Gibson, he been acting strangely all of a sudden"

"Yes, he was here just a few seconds ago telling me he needed to find Nova and tell her he loves her" Sprx said, in a melancholy tone of voice, not even putting up the effort to look at his leader face to face.

Chiro bit his lip lightly (this is bad) he thought, knowing very well from all the sighs he saw from Sprx and Nova that Sprx likes her . He didn't know what to say, but he was ready to tackle Sprx down if Sprx all of sudden goes after Gibson. Sprx would never let Nova go without a fight even with another teammate. But after a minute Sprx just stood there to a point Chiro place his hand on the red monkey's shoulder. "Sprx are you ok"

As if he had a rapid mood swing Sprx spun around to face Chiro "How can you tell me if I'm alright when everything is not" he shouted.

Chiro's eyes widened when he saw tears streaming down Sprx's cheeks and soaking into his red fur.

The blue bug was at maximum power as Sprx cried like a little baby who had its candy taken away. "It's bad enough that Gibson loves Nova but YOU" he pointed right into Chiro's face "have the nerves to tell me if I'm ok and it's clear as day that I'm not"

With tears still running down his cheek, Sprx took off in the opposite direction Gibson went with his cried echoing behind him.

Shocked, Chiro ran after Sprx by following his whines and cries and the small drops of tears.


Nova, still with her tail and arms wrapped around her body, walked down another hallway and past Antauri's mediation room. She muttered to herself about scary dark places, scary blue color and scary heights. She heard footsteps running in her direction and picked up the pace.

Antauri was deep into meditation to know what was going with the others. He heard screaming and someone shouting "I love you" and thought it was just Sprx and Nova having another argument again.

He suddenly felt a small, very small presence in the room and was about to figure out what it was when someone started banging on the door. The loud bangs literally cause Antauri to snap out of his mediation and fell to the floor.

He sighed, believing it was either Sprx or Nova that was interrupting him with the hope he could settle their little fit.

The purple bug, who was standing there upside down on the ceiling continues to stare at the Black Monkey who was getting up from the floor. With the purple stone of laugher, a slightly deadly stone if the person holds on to it for a long time, shining in the light, the bug flew down toward Antauri.

Antauri opened the door with a dull look on his face only to be down right stunned to see Sprx drowned in tears. "Sprx?"

Sprx wipes his tears away "He was so mean to me Antauri, our own leader" he said, before crying again.

"You mean Chiro" Antauri asked and Sprx nodded.

"Antauri!" Chiro shouted as he stopped next to Sprx and catch his breath. "Something is strange is going on around here"

"You got that right, you hurt my feeling" Sprx cried.

"What!" Chiro shouted, not in anger but in complete shocked. "How did I hurt your feeling Sprx"

"Can someone tell me what is going on" Antuari asked, patiently.

The purple bug landed in the back of Antuari's helmet and made its way to his back.

"Something going on around here Antuari" Chiro repeated himself "Nova ran off screaming after she saw me wearing orange then Gibson came out of nowhere and told me he loves Nova"

"Will you stop saying those words" Sprx said, crying and grabbing Chiro's shirt and blow his nose.

"Sprx!" Chiro shouted and looked down at the mess Sprx made on his shirt "why did you blow your nose on my shirt"

"Serves you right for hurting my feelings" Sprx shouted.

"All I asked if you were alright after what Gibson told you" Chiro shouted.

Sprx cried even harder "how could he do this to me, he knows how much I care about Nova" he said "and you're not making me feel better by asking me if I am alright about this"

"How is that hurting your feelings" Chiro shouted.

Antauri flinched a bit after feeling a pinch of pain in his back and just scratched his back.

"Stop yelling at me" Sprx said, curling up into a little ball and started sobbing again. "You didn't have to yell at me for your mistakes"

Chiro ran his hands threw his hair from frustration and looked at Antauri, who was just standing there and watching the whole thing. "Antauri, can you help me out here then come with me to find Gibson before he's beaten to a pulp"

Antauri stared at Chiro stressed out face and the crying Sprx who was still curled up in a small red ball. His eye started to twitch and he started to snicker a bit but tried to hold it back with his metal hand.

Chiro heard him snickering "Antauri, was that you snickering" he asked.

Antauri's face looked like he just suck on a lemon as he tried to hold back this funny feeling he suddenly had but he couldn't.

"Antauri?" Chiro called out again.

Antauri burst out laughing to the point he fell on his back, nearly crushing the bug that was hanging onto him, with his feet kicking in the air. "THAT'S THE MOST FUNNIEST THING I EVER HEARD" Antauri shouted while laughing from this amusement.

"Huh" Chiro said, confused.

Antauri grabbed hold of his stomach as he continues to laugh on the floor. A tear rolled down his cheek as his stomach felt like it was folding from the laugher.

"Can I ask what so funny" Chiro asked.

"Your face . . . (laughing) . . . the look on . . . on . . . your . . . (laughing) . . . (snort) . . . face!" Antauri laughed.

Chiro was speechless from Antuari's mood, he never seen Antauri laughs this much before especially laughing at another teammate.

"Look at Sprx . . . (laughing) he's whining like a little . . . (laughing) . . . (snort) . . . SISSY!" Antauri laughed so hard he nearly chokes on his spit and started coughing and laughing at the same time.

"Why are you laughing at me Antauri" Sprx cried. "It's bad enough Gibson loves Nova and Chiro yelled at me and hurt my feelings"

"It's . . . so . . . so . . . (laughing) . . . FUNNY" Antauri laughed, "and look at the boy . . . (laughing, snort, laughing) . . . he . . . looks . . . so . . . (laughing) . . . shocked . . . HIS EYES ARE AS BIG AS DINNER PLATES!"

Chiro stood there with Antuari laughing like a mad man . . . mad monkey while Sprx was crying so much a small puddle of tears was forming next to his feet.

"Stop laughing at me!" Sprx shouted and ran off "I hate everybody"

Antuari's knees gave in and he fell to the floor again laughing to the point he couldn't breathe.

Chiro stood there thinking (has the world gone mad?)

The white with orange swirls bug was just five feet away from the stunned boy.
