Hey peoples of the POK Fanfiction!
Happy belated Cinco De Mayo!
Also, happy belated to one of my big bros, who's birthday happen to be on Cince De Mayo! Haha, I'm always thinking, haha you're not Spanish! Er, scratch that, since our last name happens to be two Spanish names combined...
Anywho, I'm updating with the fact that I haven't updated in a while...Plus, I have some Starbucks that tends to make me a "Little" energetic...
Anyways, aside from that, haven't done this in awhile, soo...it's Reply to Reviews Time! (Yeah I'll come up with a better title later...XD)

Alright, enough chit-chat, and let's get this chapter rolling! Hopefully not too deep...XD
P.S-I just remembered about needing to say this, so might as well before I forget...I think most of these chapters for now will be going between the past and the present about what's happening now and what happened that lead up to it! Which ironically, this chapter doesn't contain, although it does refer to
Previously On My Inner Battles:
I was about to say something when Brandon comes into sight and walks over to us,"Hey girls, Percy wants to see you two for something important."
We looked at each other, confused, then followed Brandon to Percy's office. We've never been to Percy's office ever since he gave us the tour of Division, which was two years ago. So, I don't know going to his office now is a good thing or bad thing. Maybe that is where agents receive their missions? No, we're not at that level, yet. So, what could he want?
Brandon led us to Percy's office, opened the door, gestured us inside, and closed it behind us. Okay, I'm officially scared now.
"Ladies, why are you standing around, we have some very important business to take care of, please, take a seat.", Percy offered.
We eyed the seats, and we cautiously took a seat, being ready for whatever obstacle Percy decides to throw at us.
Chapter Two: Just Chilling In Percy's Office, Nothing Much
Mikayla's POV:
Never once had I seen Selena so...jittery and trembling, till now, Selena kept her hands on her lap to attempt them from shaking so much while so spoke, "S-so si-ir?-"
Thank Giki-Kiki that Percy interrupted her from speaking anymore, if she was still vibrating for another second, I would've swung my legs onto her and let her massage my feet with the vibration. Seriously, if she was the T-Rex from Jurassic Park, she would've made the water spill over!
"No need for the nervousness Ms. Russo, you girls aren't in trouble.", Percy said. It's funny how one little sentence can lift a thousand-pound weight off your back and allows your respiratory system to go back to breathing out and receiving the oxygen you need, so easily. Okay, so if we're not in trouble, then why are we here?
"That was where I was getting to Ms. Makoola, but glad you asked.", Percy said, making me go red realizing I said my last statement out loud. I shifted awkwardly in my seat and noticed Selena giving me a smirk that says, 'Now who's laughing?'. Ugh, oh how karma and I have a love-hate relationship that's hate, majority of the time.
"From observing you two either out in the practice simulators and being part of the top rankings from your classes, I've decided to-", Percy was about to announced, but was abruptly interrupted by the sound of that dreadful office-phone of his, "Percy here.", he answered.
"I'll be right there.", he finally responded, ending the unknown call, and breaking the silence. He picked up a silver suitcase, which, I've never seen during my time here, and he started heading towards the door, while turning around, suddenly remembering that we're in fact, still here.
"I'll be right back ladies, I have to go and take care of some important matters, would you mind if you guys just stay put for about ten minutes?", Percy asked while we shook our heads 'no' in response. After that, Percy turned the doorknob and left the room, leaving just Selena and I. Selena decided to be the 'Rebel Russo' that she's best known as and as soon as Percy was out of sight, she hopped up and sat in his chair, leaning back relaxed, while resting her feet on his desk.
"Russo, what are you doing in Percy's desk?! That thing could be rigged with spikes for not having the right butt-print for all we know!", I said loud enough for her to hear. Either she's either ignoring me or she's zoned out in her own little world, because out of nowhere, she starts laughing.
"What's so funny? I know my excuse isn't that good, but still...", I said trailing off.
While laughing for who knows how long, Selena finally catches her breath and began gasping for air, while answering my question with another question, "Kayla, do you remember that Macy incident that happened on like our first day of Division?"
"Um Lena, I think everyone remembers the Macy incident. I remembered, since you practically scarred me for life on that day.", I said with a shudder.
"It wasn't my fault! That chick was practically begging for a high-five...to the face!", Selena defended and paused for a moment, seems like she was trying to remember a piece of the past, and continued, "Hey, wasn't that the day you met...-", she stopped mid-sentence, when she glanced down at my ring finger and realization suddenly smacked her upside the head, "Oh my god Kayla, I'm so sorry, I completely forgot! I thought you got rid of it, I had no idea...", Selena kept rambling excuses and on how sorry she felt after realizing the object on my right-ring finger.
"It's alright Lena, you were right, it has been six months ever since, you know what happened, and I think I should be ready to move on by now.", I surprisingly said calmly while making myself wonder why do I even still wear this? Deciding to change the topic, I asked what has been on my mind these last few minutes, "Hey, do you have any idea what Percy has in that mysterious suitcase of his?"
"Come to think of it, the possibilities are endless. Although, I do recall Percy mumbling something on the way out, something about using some kind of chip and enabling the Cleaners? Maybe they're throwing the Janitors and party that involves chips!", Selena answered with excitement while I just playfully rolled my eyes and started piecing the puzzle together in my mind.
After remembering something from class I responded, "Wait, cleaners and chips? Doesn't those sound familiar at all? Aren't those ways to-", well speak of the devil, I was interrupted by the sound of the doorknob twisting, resulting in Selena springing up from her seat and quickly attempted to make her way to her previous seat, but ended up tripping over one of the legs of the wheeling chair, oh the irony. The door opened, revealing Percy without the steel-colored suitcase, but in placement of a manila file folder that seems to be filled with some paperwork. Once Percy entered the room, he directed his eyes to the floor, noticing Selena on her stomach, looking up at him. He burrowed his eyebrows in confusion and asked, " May I ask, what are you doing on the floor, Ms. Russo?"
I know for the fact that she's panicking, because whenever she is, she makes the most dumbest lies and excuses, "Well sir, I was just admiring the structure of the fabric of this astonishing maroon-carpet of yours and was wondering er, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?", Selena hopelessly lied, while standing up, dusting herself off, and sitting back into her former chair.
Percy walked over to his seat and planted himself in it, while holding the folder in his hands. He placed it down onto the desk and then, he slid it over the desk to the middle space of Selena and I. Before my brain even processed what just happened, Selena quickly snatched the folder off the desk, opened it, and suddenly her eyes went wide.
"You see here, you two are really excelling through your classes and training, so without further ado, Mikayla Makoola and Selena Russo, I grant you two through promotion to the Field Agent ranking, here's your first-ever mission assignment, agents, congratulations.", Percy awarded while grasping his hands together. Did he just say, what I think he said?! We're finally field agents! Knowing Selena and I, we're jumping and dancing in celebration in the inside, but on the outside, we have to be mature...in front of Percy, himself. So, being mature, we shook hands with him and said our 'Thank you' in gratitude. Before we leave to celebrate, I had to ask, "Sir, when do we start the mission itself?"
"Since it's your first-ever mission, it'll take about three days of preparation before you actually head to the location. During those three days, I want you two to be paying extra attention in class to get as much information as possible, you never know what you knowledge you'll rely on during a mission, where there's no second chances.", Percy explained, where we nod our heads in understanding. Then, we finally get to leave the room and started celebrating with music as soon as we opened the door to our dorm. I started dancing while Selena was hopping on her bed in victory. Then after awhile, Selena got on the floor and we both were dancing, eventually ending it with out signature high-five.
"I seriously can't believe that we're finally agents! It took us like forever to get this ranking!", Selena excitedly said.
"I know, and we finally received our first-ever mission!", I said before pausing and continuing, "Speaking of the mission, can I at least see the mission folder?"
Apparently that must've caught her off-guard as she said, "Uh, um, sorry Kayla, you can't see it."
"And, why not? You do know I'm part of this mission too, right?", I questionably said with my hands on my hips.
"Well, uh, we're not allowed to see the mission folder till we board the helicopter.", Selena answered, a little too quickly I might add.
"Oh, okay.", I said, along with not believing a word she's saying at the moment. She returned me to reality when she asked, "Hey, it's almost dinner-time, want to head to the cafeteria early to get our booth?", she asked looking down at her phone to check the time.
"Yeah, I'm starting to get hungry from the work-out earlier.", I agreed, even though I wasn't fully lying. Selena smiled and went over to the desk, and placed the mission folder, well apparently the Forbidden Folder for me, on top of the surface of the desk. When we started walking towards the door, out into the hallway, I couldn't help but glance at the folder one last time, making me wonder a whole lot of things of what our mission could be possibly about.
As we were making our way towards the cafeteria and talking about different subjects, my mind kept flashing one certain question that I want to desperately answer, why doesn't Selena want me to see the folder?
I'm pretty sure what's in that folder is nothing I couldn't handle, right?
Next time on MIB: I kept dozing off during the boring lesson, a bunch of flashbacks of Division kept flashing through my mind. What I kept thinking about was the 'Macy Incident', that happened on the first official day at Division for Selena and I. Oh, I think we weren't the only ones who remember this, maybe even Percy. Another significant event also happened on that faithful day, that also happened to be the same day I met, him.
And, that ends chapter Two of MIB!
* I really hoped you enjoyed it!
* Along with a small preview of what to expect on Chapter Three!
* FYI: I won't be able to update Thursday and Friday due to a band concert on Thurs. and marching practice on Friday...and maybe a lock-in if I'm lucky!
* Alright, this is to everyone!
~Am I seriously the only one who kinda feels tension in the air between some of the POK writers? Either it's about grammar issues or how or what type of story they write? To me, I won't have any grammar issues if you're a reviewer, as long as I could understand what you're saying, you're good. But, if you're a writer, that's really different! It's one thing to do a couple of errors that doesn't effect the story, but if it's like every sentence and is hard to understand, then there might be issues. If it's like that then, help the writer or reviewer out be NICELY telling them about it, alright? Nobody's perfect and there's no need to tell them that in a harsh way.
~Alright, this topic, I completely forgot to mention...I think. Anyways, everyone is different in their own way, right? So, that means everyone has their different opinions on things, such as ships regarding fanfics. Basically, if someone is shipping a different ship than you or writing about a completely different ship or pair up the main character with an OC, doesn't mean you should just criticize them for voicing, well in this case, typing out their opinions. I mean, there's a reason why Fanfiction or any other story-related website is invented, it's to voice/type our opinions on different ships on stories/shows and etc. I even ship and prefer a couple of crack-ships myself! Just, not on this particular archive...
~So, I hope you guys figured this out and maybe reduce the tension? Seriously, the tension is that thick, that I have to find something better than a chainsaw to cut it!
* Anyways, review on this chapter on what you think and send in any questions you have for this story if you have any! I may or may not be able to answer it!
Peace!~Yummy42
