LOVE LETTER
After 2 months of continuous work, Gibson and Otto could finally build the time machine they've been longing to build for years. However, it had to be experimented before usage to avoid chaos.
Gibson slumped into a chair in the workshop. All the tedious work has gotten the best of him. He started wondering how the super robot would look like when they exit the workshop.
"Do we have to test it first?" Otto asked in impatience. He was so engrossed in building up the time machine that he forgot about food.
"Of course we ought to, Otto, the probabilities are high that we might not be able to return if we skipped the testing!" He replied, his annoyance concealed by exhaustion.
"But, how are we gonna try it?" Otto asked in curiosity.
"We'll direct the beam towards your room and operate it to exchange it with your room in 2014, and if we find any new thing in your room it would be an acknowledgement that our machine is functioning well." He responded.
"But, I don't remember anything in my room! I haven't left this workshop in months! Why don't we try your room?" He replied, disappointing Gibson.
"Actually Otto….I also can't recall the diverse chemicals in my room. Perhaps we should ask someone else on the team." Gibson said, embarrassed with the fact that he too has forgotten.
"We should ask Tauri, he's calm and wise, unless he has changed since last time we saw him!" Otto asked, cheerfulness returning to him.
"I agree with you but if we apply it on Antauri's room we won't be acknowledged of anything since he only meditates there." Gibson replied, cupping his chin, "Maybe Nova?"
"I wouldn't risk my life asking her." He replied, shoving the suggestion out of Gibson's cranium, "Chiro! He must accept! I know he waits for each new issue of the sun riders' comic with no patience!"
"According to my calculations and based on Chiro's personality, asking him to test our machine on his room would probably be an easy task." Gibson replied as he got up with exhaustion and managed to walk to the entrance.
"I told ya so!" Otto replied as he took the machine in his hand and headed right after the blue monkey.
"NOT GONNA HAPPEN! I'M NOT GOING TO SHARE ANY OF MY ROOM WITH YOU TWO AND YOUR CYNICAL MACHINE! That's out of question!" Chiro said on top of his upon hearing their request.
"Don't you want all the new issues of the sun rider's comic?" Otto asked innocently, hoping to enlighten the stubborn teen to the outcomes of letting them test it in his room.
"Oh! That magazine is for kids now!" Chiro's said, shattering their hopes.
"But-" Gibson tried to come up with another excuse but Chiro interrupted him.
"I SAID NO!" He said in fury as he entered the room and slammed the door behind him in anger.
"I never knew Chiro to be short-tempered like this!" Gibson exclaimed at the scene occurring behind his eyes.
"If we only could threaten him with something," Otto said as he began trying to recall any embarrassing fact he knows about Chiro so that he could use it against him.
"Threaten him…hmm" Gibson wondered as he cupped his chin once more and recalled one incident…
FLASHBACK
4 months ago…
"S-P-R-X-7-7 Where on Shuggazoom have you hidden my notes?" Gibson said in rage, staring at the red monkey who was polishing his magnets as if he wanted to tear his circuitry apart.
"In my room, go fetch them!" He replied carelessly, not feeling like taunting Gibson anymore.
Gibson ran to Sprx's room, hoping that it wouldn't be any of his jokes. He entered and started searching through the mess until his eyes fell on a yellow book…
"The SPOVA Record! I don't recall hearing a term as such, let me see." Gibson said in curiosity as he opened the book and read a few lines, attempting to discover the subject. He didn't know that the book's subject wouldn't match his taste at all.
"This could be useful." Gibson said, a smirk covering his face, as he scanned all the pages of the book. He decided to use it to threaten Sprx when the situations would compel him to do so.
END FLASHBACK
"Sprx will accept my orders under any circumstance as long as I have scans of that book!" Gibson said, an evil smirk spreading across his face.
"So you can threaten him with something?" Otto said, new hope forming in his heart.
"Absolutely!" Gibson replied as he rushed to the red monkey's room.
Sprx was at the entrance when they appeared in the hallway, "I thought you two died in there!" He said sarcastically.
"Sprx we need your room to test our time machine! We'll exchange it with your room in 2014, think how fun it would be!" Otto said in enthusiasm, only to be stopped by Sprx.
"I won't let you perform any crazy experiment on my room!" Sprx said in fury.
Gibson clicked on a few buttons in his scanner and showed the results to Sprx, causing his jaw to drop and his cheeks to darken from both fury and embarrassment.
"…..If only she knew how much I adore her, how much I'm in LOVE with her….."
"I'll show the entire book to the whole team if you refuse to let us in." He leaned on his ear and whispered: "You'll even find even more Spova incidents added!" causing him to turn even redder. Sprx never knew Gibson was that devious.
"Okay, but don't touch anything in my room, I'll inform ya if I came across any future issue of my magazines." He said in rage. How could Gibson seize his feelings to threaten him?
Anyways, they entered and shot the beam at his room. No any change was observed. Gibson approached a pile of magazines, only to be stopped by Sprx, who said: "I told ya not to touch ANYTHING!"
They both exited the room, saying: "If you come across any futuristic issue or incident, please inform us."
"Sprx, please be quick, I'm longing to travel in time and meet the dinosaurs!"
Sprx slammed the door, wondering how Gibson could discover the book. He always wanted her to know but not from Gibson. He wanted to be the one confessing to her, but was scared of her reply, terrified of it. Besides, he couldn't just go blurt the 3 words out to her. He had to gather the guts to confess as well. He could always say every sarcastic and daring comment but when it came to something very deep within him, words betrayed his sarcastic mouth.
He always wondered that if he only knew her reply before confessing, matters would've been a lot easier, either he gets lifted on the ninth cloud and becomes the most euphoric creature in the cosmos or all his hopes and desires get shattered into fragments right before his eyes. Rejection was a fear that haunted his thoughts.
And the alarm rang, ending his distraction.
Fast as lightening, he headed towards the command center, "It was a fake alarm!" Chiro said, "And neither Otto nor Gibson are awake to find the malfunction." and headed to his room after making sure that the city was safe.
As Sprx returned to his room, he noticed a piece of yellow paper on one of the shelves. "Why didn't I notice this before?" He wondered as he picked it and unfolded it, revealing a letter…
"19th of October 2014
Dearest Sprx
Today is October 19th, our 2nd anniversary! These two years have run like days! Don't you remember the time you finally got the guts to confess? When you took me on a walk and finally blurted those 3 magical words out? You lifted me to cloud nine! Now I'm seeing those memories flashing again in front of my eyes! Oh, I love you sooooooo much! :*
With love
Nova"
His eyes widened at the letter, ignoring the fact that it's from the future. "So..So this machine really worked! She really loves me! Finally a proof! I always knew she loved me!" He thought, joy overwhelming him.
Then he recalled the sentence, "our 2nd anniversary!" "This means that…I should confess on 19th of October 2012! I think that's next week. I lost track of time again! I'll go ask Gibson or Otto!"
He exited his room in a euphoric state and headed to the workshop, only to find Otto in stasis and Gibson rubbing his eyes and staring at their invention.
"Uhh, guys, what's the date today?" Sprx asked as he entered.
Otto subconsciously got up and replied: "MISSsweety63's 14th birthday!" and returned back to his coma.
"Perhaps he has malfunctioned from the lack of sleep." Gibson replied, still drowsy, "Today is October 19th! Did you find anything from the future?"
"No, uhh nothing, not a thing!" Sprx muttered and rushed out of the workshop, thinking "I've no time to waste!" He had to decide what their 'magical moment' will be.
"11:00pm uhh why time has no mercy for us? I only have one hour left and I didn't decide anything!" Sprx said in angst as he stared at the clock.
"Got it, I'll ask her for a walk and then confess before it strikes 12! And I'm 100% sure she'll accept!"
With that, he exited his room once again.
Sprx approached Nova's room's metallic door and knocked, praying that she isn't asleep.
"It's me, Sprx." He muttered.
"What's the matter Sprx?" He heard her reply.
"Will you….will you go out for a walk….with me?" He struggled to say, hoping it might make some sense.
"Sprx, it's the middle of the night!" She replied.
"No, it's still 11pm!" He said, longing to confess.
"It's 11:10 but…..okay, but make it short!" She replied, causing him to enter a euphoric state.
"Of course!" He replied with happiness pulsing through his veins.
The door opened, revealing her. Sprx swore he had seen her cheeks tinted with red. He started to be nervous, the words he had prepared to say were escaping his mouth. He nervously extended his hand and she took it. Both exited the robot, their hands locked in each other.
The city was shrouded with darkness. Under the light of stars they walked together silently until Nova broke the silence of the night, "So? Why did you take me for a walk in the middle of the night?"
"Well, b-because I wanted to say something….for a long time!" Sprx replied, nervousness taking over him.
"What did you want to say?" She asked, nervous as well, the tint of red never left her cheeks.
"I just wanted to say that I-I," He started sweating, "That I -" But he was interrupted by Gibson's sudden appearance, which astonished both Sprx and Nova.
"Sprx, I came to inform you that the machine has a malfunction so you don't have to look for anything from the future. I'm quite disappointed by that fact." Gibson said, interrupting the moment and shocking Sprx.
"Gibson, it worked! I swear I found something from the future!" Sprx replied.
"No, Sprx, perhaps what you found is a prank or you are not aware of the date, it's October 19th, even though only ten minutes are left before 20th." Gibson replied, he was sure that the time machine wasn't working.
"But Gibson, I really found a letter from the future!" Sprx said in confusion, only ten minutes were left.
"Sprx, it's not working, the letter you found was not an outcome to its beam. It has nothing to do with our machine!" Gibson said, puzzling Sprx even more. He started suspecting that it was Gibson who sent the letter.
"So, if that piece of junk isn't working, then why did you exploit my feelings and do such a thing, you blue freak? And why did you even interrupt me? Why did you ruin it for me? My feelings aren't a toy for you to play with!" Sprx never thought he would scream at his brother like that, but if Gibson was behind it all that would shatter all Sprx's thoughts of Gibson as the elder brother who would lend him a hand whenever he's in trouble.
"I've no idea what are you talking about!" Gibson said in shock. He had never thought that Sprx would scream at him like that.
Sprx was about to scream at Gibson again when Nova said gently: "Stop it! It was me who wrote that letter. I was eavesdropping at your conversation with Otto and Gibson when this idea struck my mind." and she retreated to a bench, burying her head in her hands. She was never willing to tell anyone about it but she didn't want to break the brotherly bond between Sprx and Gibson either. So she had to admit it was her behind it all.
Witnessing the scene, Gibson rushed back to the robot, leaving Sprx astonished. He walked towards the bench and sat beside her. He attempted to say something when he heard her crying silently.
"You're crying?...Why?" He asked as he gently took her hands which were concealing her face and wiped the tears that were running down her cheeks.
"Because I never wanted to admit that it was me who wrote it and I never wanted you to see me crying either." She said, sniffing.
"But….what's wrong in admitting? Why can't we blurt the truth out easily? Why whenever I'm alone I create numerous things to say, although they aren't enough to express what I really feel but they are better than nothing, but when you're here, they just betray me and leave me speechless? Why?" He cupped her chin.
"I'm crying because I always wanted you to confess first. If admitting is hard for you, then it's worse for me." She replied, attempting to stop crying.
"Words betray me when it comes to expressing how much I love you and how much you mean the world to me. I guess I'll never find the right words but it was your letter that guaranteed to me that you'll accept and gave me the guts to say something." He replied and then did something we all expected, he pressed his lips into hers, the climax of their moment.
When they broke the kiss, Nova said, "You don't know how much I've been waiting for these words! I love you too!" and they kissed again.
Only then, the clock stroke 12.
Well, kinda longer than I thought.
Hope ya enjoyed it.
And, regarding the letter, if dat's not what lovers write on anniversaries then pardon me, I didn't know what to write.
