Crap! I forgot to update this past monday! Damn Holiday! Just for that, I plan to post another one on Friday to make up for it. So please review this chappy and feel good knowing the next will only be 2 days away!
The First Task
The next morning, Nina was awoken by the sound of a text on her cell phone. She rolled over to check her nearby clock. It was 8:00am on the dot. It was Saturday for Pete's sake! Who in their right mind would be up and texting her this early?
She opened her phone and read the message:
[good morning!]
She didn't recognize the number and just set it back down and put her face back into her pillow. A minute later, it beeped again. This time it read:
[go outside.]
She scrunched her brow and groggily got out of bed and walked to the front door, trying to make her hair presentable as she did so. When she reached the door, she opened it slowly, expecting a friend to possibly jump out and surprise her. But no one was there. She peeked out into the hallway, looking left, and then right. There was no one to be seen. In frustration, she slammed the door. Then another beep alerted her hears. She had gotten yet another text. She flipped open her phone and read the message:
[not that door, the other one!]
She knew the only other door in her apartment was the balcony, so she walked over to it and absentmindedly pulled the blinds. The sight of the two big ruby-colored optics of Skywarp staring at her closely from the other side of the glass door practically scared the bejesus out of her! But she quickly composed herself, opened the door and walked out to meet him. She was about to speak, but Skywarp beat her to the punch.
"Did you get my texts?" He asked excitedly.
She paused for a moment. "Wait…those texts were from YOU?! How did you get my number?"
"I used the Internet and hacked your account."
"You WHAT?" She felt alarmed, but again her cell phone went off in her hand interrupting her thoughts.
"Grrrr!…is that you again?" She asked slightly annoyed.
"Nope!" He said to her as he put his hands up indicating that he was innocent. "Not this time."
She opened it and read the text. It was from her ex. When she was done reading it, she closed it shut and turned away from him. Skywarp noticed her displeasure and wished to inquire the reason for it.
"What's the matter? Bad news?" He asked.
"No. Just my ex-boyfriend. He's asking me to bring him his cd collection." She said as she thumbed the cd tower over her shoulder. "You see, we just broke up a week ago. And the idiot must want his stuff back as soon as possible."
Then anger filled her voice. "Well he can have his damn CDs! You know, Skywarp, I'd love to smash those damn things and see the look on his face when I do! Hahaha!" she laughed.
Skywarp did his best to keep a straight face after hearing those words.
"Would it be okay if I took the CDs to your ex's house for you?" he then asked.
"Um...I guess. It'll save me a trip. But what if you're seen?" She asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm a teleporter remember? If someone does see me, it'll only be for a split second!"
"Well, okay." Nina said as she stood aside and allowed Skywarp to reach in and lift up the long rack of cds.
"Wait! Let me give you his address!" She called out as he was just about to teleport.
"Don't need it. Already know it!" He smiled as he used his free hand and tapped the side of his head indicating that he hacked the Internet for this information too.
"But how?" She inquired.
"I read your emails."
Nina's eyes opened wide and she was about to start yelling at him but he teleported before she was able to do so.
