A Day passed and Hal was contemplating on how he could show Nova how he felt in the best possible way 'After all it's what she deserves', he thought. He had researched for the first time since his accident even though it was not for scientifical knowledge, books of fairy-tales- Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella. All of which fascinated him, But that was fairy-tales- not reality he needed hard facts of which he could get from film like the one Nova had shown him.

He made his way from his metallic home into the crisp autumn air, and sun-kissed light from the Shuggazoomian sky with a soft scent of various plans and flowers. He hadn't been outside on his own before but knew well enough where the DVD rental shop was. He made his way through the park smiling softly at the children playing and laughing without a care in the world, flying kites and jumping in piles of crunchy leaves. He walked a bit further 'Can't get sidetracked....', he told himself in a scolding way, after a few moments he stopped to look at a young couple, obviously not as well off as most people but happy.

They were laughing and hoilding each other with content, the young man lifted her in the air twirling her in the wisps of leaves caught in the wind to hold her bridal style, caressing her gentle facebringing her rose lips to his as if they were meeting for the first time. Hal was in awe, 'Is that what love is?', he approached the couple 'hopefully i can get answers...'

The young couple stopped and looked at the cerulean blue simian and smiled at the question 'Are you in love?', they looked at each other and beamed, "yes...yes we are". Hal stayed for 30 minutes listening to the story of how they got together. Apparently neither of them came from a rich background but set to marry wealthy heirs when the fell for each other, they had left their families after being disowned to wed and start a family of their own. Hal smiled, he had got his answers- well most of them, he waved goodbye and headed back to The Super Robot.

THAT EVENING

Hal was in his room thinking when he heard shouting and screeching from the halls so he investigated finding an angry Sprx slamming his fists against the was, cursing something under his breath and slamming a door. Nova was the other side of the hall trembling in fury, trying to hold her anger back. Hal looked at her as she slammed her door to her room, probably to let off steam.

Hal waited for a while and got some ice cream to bring up to her, knocking gently on the door before stepping in to find a crying Nova. Never had he seen the strong female breakdown. He sat with her, not saying anything, just holding her as she poured out his heart to him about the fight. Nova had been worried about not seeing Hal and him being on his own- he was an easy target for Skeleton King, Sprx's jealousy had gotten the better of him. He started saying it was like she loved him, the bubbly, funny and easy-going Hal.

Sprx had unfortunately reminded her that Hal was not permanent- eventually Gibson would be back soon. Hal listened intently, he held her to look at him, "I doubt that my other side would not love you the way I do now, I promise... I will never leave you even when I regain my memories these one's wont fade", with that the Blue simian kissed her. Their tongues danced with each other, exploring every crevice of this new experience.

Nova pulled away but before she could say anything he kissed her again and she knew.....she just knew.
