So little GenRex activity! I'm taking a break from grading (since I'm getting depressed) and posting this conversation.
Wow, I'm surprised by all the reviews. I'm glad you like these. Thank you X, Guests, KakaAnko, and new reader MoonGirl1155. And no I'm not on Tumblr. I can't spend any more time on this obsession. But if you are, tell them I said hi and rock on!
"Beyond the Sea"
"How's Rex doing, Six?"
"Still mooning over that girl."
"Poor kid. First love is hard."
"He'll get over it."
"You don't get over your first love! It's something you'll always remember."
"It's part of the growing process. He wanted normal. Well, heartbreak doesn't get any more normal than that... And after being shot down by you all this time you'd think he'd be use to it by now."
"Six, that's totally different. I'm just his crush, you know, puppy love. He knows on a subconscious level that it would never work."
"Is that some sort of Freudian thing?"
"I'm probably the only female he has any interaction with around here. He's going to transfer his feelings onto me. And I'm a safe person to practice his gosh awful pick up lines with."
"…He is just a kid with his hormones all over the place."
"Speaking of which, did you ever have that talk with him?"
"What talk?"
"Come on. You know what talk. The one about… you know… biological urges."
"I did."
"How did it go?"
"I had to correct some inaccurate information from Bobo."
"That darn chimp! I hope he hasn't scarred Rex for life."
"Rex did seem a little… uncomfortable."
"Ha, I'm sure it wasn't a walk in the park for you either."
"I'd rather fight a whole room of EVOs. But you were right. It had to be done."
"Thank you Six."
"For what? I was just doing my job. His curiosity was affecting his performance."
"Really? What was he doing?"
"I caught him trying to peek into the female agents' locker room."
"Oh my gosh!"
"Don't worry, he was in the preliminary stages. Nothing happened."
"Well, thank goodness for… wait, he didn't try…"
"No, I made sure that you were not targeted."
"That's a relief. I certainly don't need a repeat of college again."
"Why? What happened in college?"
"Oh, the fraternity house next door kept trying to sneak into the girl's dorms to steal our underwear, set up cameras, juvenile stuff."
"That's criminal."
"Well, it was meant in jest but it was annoying. I guess now a days it's a little more sinister but back then it was just suppose to be stupid pranks. Oh don't worry, the administration found out and they were put on probation."
"I would have ran them up a flagpole."
"Why, Agent Six, feeling a little protective?"
"Women should not be treated like that."
"That's sweet but I can take care of myself. I had a mouse trap set up in my drawer. It was effective. I never had anything stolen."
"Clever."
"I know."
"Modest too."
"Ha, Rex can't be the only one to flaunt it."
"Speaking of Rex, I should check on him. Last I left him, he was moping in his room."
"You are his nanny…"
"Holiday…"
"Sorry, I was just teasing. I know Rex will hate me if he finds out, so don't tell him I said this, but you should have a training session with him. That should take his mind off of you- know- who."
"…That's actually a good idea."
"Don't act so surprised."
"I wasn't. I was merely commenting that it was good."
"Mmm-hmm. Sure you were. By the way, did Rex say what the girl's name was?"
"I think he said Circe."
"Circe, that's a pretty name."
"In Greek mythology, she turned men into pigs."
"That's because you read it from a male point of view. She was a strong woman who knew how to take care of herself."
"To each their own, I suppose. I just hope she doesn't lead Rex astray."
"I think if she likes him as much as he likes her, then I think they'll find their ways."
"Is that from experience?"
"Well, let's just say, I'm a hopeful romantic."
"Hmm, well, I'm a realist, who's going to get Rex out of his funk… or at least train him so hard that all he can think about is his sore muscles. Then I can send him to you so he can practice his gosh awful pick-up lines in safety."
"You're so kind."
"I aim to please."
