Jealous?
Me: Sorry for the OOC-ness last time. Oh well. Anyway, Duskblood came up with nearly the entire chapter. She's a genius when it comes to Antova and Fanfics. Read all of her fics or feel the wrath of the reserected Animorphs! (Sorry it took so long.)
Nova: Aldrea and Duskblood are evil and crazy! Beware!
Antauri: Even I must agree.
Me: Well, I can't blame 'em. Anyway, the stupid disclaimer:
I own nothing, and neither does Dusk. Thank you and enjoy.
Sparx, Otto, Gibson, Chiro, and Tidem (STOGC) moved down the hall quietly in pursuit of their victims, Antauri and Nova. When they got five feet from the door, STOGC heard the two shuffling through things. Remember, they have no idea about the bunking situation. They looked in the door, the spy-ees not seeing them.
"I am very thankful that you would share your room with me Nova," Antauri stated. Nova came over and hugged him, making him blush.
"It's the least I can do after everything you done for us. Plus, with you and I mad at Gibson, I don't think that would be a good mix. Nobody wants a dead monkey on their hands," she said blushing and letting go.
Outside the door, Sparx was steaming. Otto looked over at him and rolled his eyes. Then he turned on his video camera.
"Hey Antauri. Can I ask you something? I don't know who else to ask about this," she said looking at him.
"Of course Nova."
"Why does Sparx flirt so much with other girls? I hate to say it, but it kinda hurts," she said looking down in embarrassment. Antauri put his arm around her. Sparx blinked in surprise at the question.
"Sometimes he is overwhelmed by the amount of women in a given area and feels that he needs to fit in. He doesn't mean to hurt you, but that's just him," he said. Nova understood perfectly. Without thinking, she turned and kissed him right on the lips, while Antauri kissed back surprised. Otto and Chiro jumped out with a video and still-shot camera and snapped a picture of them. Nova and Antauri jumped apart.
"What are you doing?!" Nova practically screeched. Her and Antauri were like red monkeys themselves.
"Apparently, breaking you two up. You have some explaining to do," Gibson (Otto's body) scolded as Antauri and Nova turned even redder (Is that even possible?). Everyone looked at him weird, but dropped it immediately.
Later in the Control Room...
"So why were you two kissing in the first place?" Chiro asked amused, to say the least. Actually, he was close to bursting out laughing.
Nova and Antauri exchange unnoticed glances. Antauri had an idea.
"It was not intentional. Nova had probably turned to get a box behind me and tripped. We kissed on accident," he stated. Nova didn't know he was a good liar.
"Yeah. I was just getting back to work. A girl trips sometimes you know," she said. She playfully wagged her finger at them. "Come on Antauri. Lets get your stuff packed."They walked to his tube and went up, but Sparx knew something was up and followed them.
Sparx caught Nova as she was coming from Antauri's room (he had watched the WHOLE time!) after they had moved some of his things into her room. He went over to her.
"Hey Super Nova. I was w-wondering if y-you wanted to g-go to the p-park," he studdered. Sparx closed his eyes and waited for the jaw breaking punch. It never came.
Nova blinked a few times. She wasn't expecting this at all. "Sure Sparx. Lets go!" She grabbed his hand and nearly dragged him outside. Meanwhile, Antauri was going to the command center (well, what was left of it anyway) when he noticed Nova and Sparx running out.
"Where are you two you going Nova?" He asked curiously. Antauri refused to ask Sparx due to the earlier incident.
"Oh, we're going to the park. Bye Antauri!" she called over her shoulder smiling.
Antauri nodded and left to go to his destination. He was pondering silently on what he was starting to fell whenever he was around Sparx. Can anyone guess what happened to be that feeling? That's right: he was jealous. He then walked into the control room.
"Hey Antauri. What's the matter?" Otto said seeing him come in with the blankest look in the world, meaning something was up.
"Nothing Gibson. Though I'm wondering why you are repairing the command center without Otto," Antauri stated curiously.
Otto anime sweat-dropped. He still wasn't used to being a blue monkey. "Um, I'm just getting some of the work done for him," he said, not meeting Antauri's eyes.
At that moment, Chiro and Gibson came down their various tubes. Chiro had some of his algebra homework with him.
"Hey Antauri. What's with the blank face?" Chiro asked. He hadn't noticed Antauri's eyes flicking to the door for a moment.
"Nothing Chiro. Do you need help with your homework?" he asked, secretly desparate to get off that subject.
"Yeah. There's this one equation I can't figure out. It's 9x(5x)=900. I'm stuck on how to do this," Chiro stated.
"Well, simply miltiply like integers such as 9x and 5x. Then divide 900 by the product of 9x times 5x. You do the same on the left side and your answer comes right out." Gibson didn't even give a second thought to his answer until it occured to him that he was green. He turned slowly to some very strange looks.
Everyone was looking at him like he was a big purple elephant that ate a magically appearing bucket of dead fish (My friends and I look at my ex like that all the time).
"Otto, you must of gotten hit on the head by a piece of machinery pretty hard. You just explained an algebra equation like it was 1+1," Jin may had walked in just in time to hear the math discussion.
"Otto, where did you learn algebra in the first place?" Antauri asked kind of confused. Chiro knew something was up since Antauri was twitching his tail very slightly. That only happened when he was mad, confused, or both.
"I, um, was getting tutored by Gibson," Gibson said embarrassed. Everyone let it drop after that and went back to their normal jobs. Antauri went to go to the door when Chiro tapped his arm lightly.
"Can you come talk with me for a minute Antauri? I want to talk to you about something privot," he said quietly.
"Of course Chiro." Chiro led him to his (Chiro's) room and locked the door behind them, much to Antauri's surprise.
"Okay Antauri. Your tail's twitchin', so what's up?" Chiro said blocking the door.
"I don't understand what you mean Chiro. I was confused as to why Otto knew algebra. That's all," Antauri said anime sweat dropping and stopping his tail.
"Riiight. I'm not buyin' it. You, of all people, are so lying,"Chiro said, on the edge of belief. He still couldn't believe Antauri even had the ability to lie.
"Chiro, I wouldn't lie to you. Now, if you are done, I wish to go for a walk," Antauri stated gently, yet firmly.
"Fine," Chiro pounted. He opened the door. Antauri walked out thinking.
Antauri walked out of the Super Robot searching mentally for Sparx and Nova, finding them easily. He followed them to the bridge. Unfortunately for him, Antauri had no idea of what his evil little cohorts had in mind...
Back at the robot...
"Okay, so you know the plan Gibson?" Otto asked him, holding the camera.
"Yes. Now we simply need to find Antauri. I think he went to 'watch' Sparx and Nova at the bridge,"Gibson said, emphasizing the word watch and holding the still-shot camera. They both knew Antauri was jealous and spying on the two.
"Yep. Let's go!" Otto said excitedly. They raced away to spy on Antauri from the rooftops. Already he was at the bridge watching the two out of veiw.
We now move to the Spova scene...
"So, Nova. Like the Hoverburger?" Sparx asked Nova. They had stopped to eat. He inched closer to her, unaware of the monkey that was baring his teeth silently.
"Yeah. Now I have a question for you. Why do you always flirt? It's annoying." She almost said what she did to Antauri, but caught herself just in time.
"Uh, I have two reasons. For one, I'm bored. And two, I'm a guy."
"The other guys get bored and don't flirt. Then again, I can't imagine Gibson or Antauri flirting with girls..." She trailed off when she said Antauri's name. Her mind was going into overdrive because Sparx had put his arm around her shoulder. To her, it felt different than when Antauri had put his around her arm around her shoulders. Sparx's felt weirdly empty while Antauri's had felt like warm white feathers and an ocean breeze (Like it had feeling okay?). She knocked the thought and his arm off.
'She didn't kill me. Hmmm...' Sparx thought. "You feeling alright Super Nova?" He asked cautiously.
"Yeah. Just thinking," she said in a daze. 'Come on you idiot! You said you loved him before and meant it, why wouldn't you mean it now?!' she thought to herself. She didn't even notice when Sparx entwined his tail in hers. At this point in time, Antauri left, mainly to keep from ringing Sparx's neck.
Otto and Gibson noticed this. Otto had the crazy idea to try and get video tape of Antauri's face and maybe the words he was mumbling so he hung over the edge of the building they had landed on. But when Otto did this, he slipped. Gibson saw that Otto was slipping and went to grab him, but ended up going over himself, right on top of Sparx and Nova. When they noticed who it was, the to-be couple was fuming.
"Who's. Idea. Was. This," Sparx asked through gritted teeth.
"Oh, that was mine!" Otto said excitedly. He later regretted saying anything at all.
"Brainstrain, you are definately switching personalities with Otto." Sparx growled moving closer to him.
"Why? It was fun," Otto tilted his head confused.
"Because you are so DEAD!" Nova yelled as the spova coupling took off at Gibson and Otto.
"RUN!" Gibson yelled grabbing Otto and running as fast as he could.
We will skip their terrifying run from death all around Shuggazoom and go to them ending at the Super Robot...
Antauri had arrived back and was being questioned by the boys as to why he was paying so much attention to the couple when in ran Gibson and Otto, covered in bruises and cuts. They cowered behind Antauri and Suupa. Sparx and Nova came in fuming just moments later.
Nova went for Otto (Who looked like Gibson and was cowering behind Suupa). Otto made a run for it and effectively got everyone hurt in the process (Except Antauri who had his own problems) while he got to his chair. Otto made it and got beat up so bad he felt like he couldn't move.
In the mean time, Gibson was hiding behind Antauri who, not knowing about the spying, tried to protect him.
"Will you move?! I am gonna kill him either way, so you might not want to get in the way!" Sparx cried. He finally gave up trying to get Antauri to move. Sparx slammed Antauri in the head with one of his magnets, knocking him out. Sparx then got into a fist-fight with Gibson.
"Antauri!" Nova ran to his aid and made sure he was okay. Nova picked Antauri up and carried him out of the way. She then layed him down lovingly against the wall. And kneeled next to him to beat up Sparx if he came over.
"Okay. This has gone on long enough! Sparx stop NOW!" Chiro yelled over the chaos and separated the fighting pair. "Why in the world are you fighting anyway?" he asked when they were apart.
"They were spying on us!" Sparx and Nova pointed to Gibson and Otto. Everyone looked at the blue and green monkeys.
"Who's idea was it?" Jinmay asked with her hand to her forehead in frustration.
"Gibson!" Spova (I'll be calling them that when they say it as a couple.) said.
Everyone said the next thing together. "Gibson?"
Me: Hope you enjoyed. That took a while.
Antauri: I'm sure that they forgive you Aldrea. Ice cream?
Me: I hope you aren't having it. Remember-
Antauri: I never said I was having ice cream, I mearly asked you-
Sheelka: Screaming is heard in the background. ICE CREAM AND ANTAURI?! WHEEERRRREEE?!
Antauri and I: She found us! RUN!
Sheelka: A silver and fiery orange streak runs after us squeeling. YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHH!
Antauri, Nova, and I: Read and review! Bye!
