Chapter 4

Harmony and Gibson wandered into the robot's main room. Chiro and Otto came in from helping with the other fist rocket.

"We were working so hard we didn't realize how late it was!" Otto said.

"What?" Gibson exclaimed. "What time is it now?"

"It's around eight o' clock. It's started getting dark outside." Chiro answered.

"Looks like we lost track of time as well!" Harmony chuckled. "I have an inflatable mattress in my bag to sleep on. Can you help me set it up?"

"I'm going to put my tools away first." Otto said. Then he went off to his room.

"We can lay it out right here!" Chiro pointed to a wide space next to his bed.

Harmony pulled a black bag out of her suit case. Inside was an inflatable mattress that had a gray bottom and a dark green top. Chiro and Gibson helped her spread it out on the floor. Then she pulled out a hand air pump and began to inflate it.

"We used to have an electric one, but it broke." She said. "And it's hard to pump up by hand." She put as much effort as she could into pushing down the lever.

"Here! Let me try it." Chiro said. He pumped it multiple times before turning back to Harmony. She pushed her hand down on the mattress.

"That's good!" She said. "I don't like a mattress that's too firm." She placed a plastic plug in the mattress to keep the air in. Then she put the air pump back in her suitcase.

"Oh yeah, Gibson, I want you to read this book!" She pulled out a copy of To Kill a Mockingbird and handed it to the blue simian. "This is one of the greatest books ever written. I thought you might find it interesting!"

Gibson examined the cover of the book.

"Thank you." He said. "But why would I need to know how to kill a mockingbird?"

"It's not about how to kill a mockingbird. It's one of the lines in the story used to make the title." Harmony laughed. Gibson began to read the book as the girl pulled something else out of her suitcase.

"I also brought my Nebutron 7." Harmony placed the toy ship from the Sun Riders on the floor. "And I found out something cool you could do with it!" She had the toy pull out a small plastic hook and she put a popcorn ball on it. "Instant wrecking ball!"

"Or snack delivery." Chiro added.

"So, how long have you known Jinmay?" Harmony asked.

"Ever since I first met the Monkey Team, actually." The boy answered. "We've been…kind of close."

"If she's your girlfriend, you can just say so!" The other girl teased. "And I have to say she's probably the luckiest girl in the galaxy to have a guy like you. And I'm not saying that because you're the hero of the city." Chiro blushed as Harmony continued looking through her bag. She pulled out things such as toothbrush and toothpaste and placed them in an extra bag she had.

"Alright, now what?" Harmony asked.

"Do you like video games?" The black haired teen asked.

"YES!"

"We have some pretty good games, if you want to play."

"That sounds fun!" The two got up to play games while Gibson followed behind, still reading the novel.

"Woo hoo!" Otto jumped up. "I won again!" Harmony and Chiro met up with Sprx, Otto, and Jinmay in the main room. Whoever lost the round in the game had to pass the controller to someone else.

Harmony handed Sprx the controller.

"Nobody can beat this guy!" The girl turned to Jinmay. "You alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine." The pink haired girl said, trying to avoid eye contact.

"Say, I have a bit of makeup in my bag, and if you want…I could…give you a makeover." Harmony offered.

"Is it okay with you?"

"Sure! I don't really use it, but you never know when you need it! Come on!" Harmony took Jinmay by the hand and they left the main room.

"Where did Jinmay and Harmony go?" Chiro asked as Otto beat Sprx once more.

They looked around the room but the girls were nowhere to be seen. The boy stood up and went to find them. He heard a noise coming from the restroom. They were inside. He knocked on the door.

"Hello? Harmony? Jinmay? Are you in there?"

"It's Chiro!" Harmony giggled quietly. "You wanna show him?"

"Sure." Jinmay answered.

The bathroom door was opened and Harmony peeked out, nearly squishing her cheeks between the door and the frame.

"Hewwo there!" She said.

"What are you guys doing?" Chiro grinned.

"Oh, I gave Jinmay a makeover! I bet you want to see how good she looks, right?"

"Of course." The boy blushed.

Harmony stepped back and opened the door all the way. Jinmay stepped forward. She had blush on her cheeks and a bit of mascara on. There was also a hint of eye shadow and even a bit of pink lip balm. Chiro stood there amazed.

"You look beautiful…" He said.

"Thanks…" Jinmay blushed even more.

"Amazing how that makeup brought out her eyes. And she's a robot." Harmony added. Then she winked at Jinmay and went back to the main room.

"Ah, I'm tired!" Harmony flopped onto the inflatable mattress, now in her green pajama shirt and striped pajama pants. She picked up her Nebutron Seven and put it next to her suitcase. "Where'd the popcorn ball go?" She mumbled to herself as Chiro came into the bedroom with his baby blue pajamas. Jinmay had left a while ago and Antauri told the team it was time to get some rest.

"Alright, Harmony." He said as he got under his covers. The blonde haired girl did the same. "Good night."

"Good night!" Harmony replied and rolled onto her side, eager for the next day.

A lone figure stood on top of a nearby water tower. Her purple tail twitching back and forth, she narrowed her violet eyes at the Super Robot.

"It isn't over yet." She mumbled and pushed her purple hair out of her eyes. "Now's my chance. I'll get my revenge and my reward! Don't worry daddy…it's time…" She jumped into the air and took flight on a disc shaped hovercraft that was a dark red. The smiled as she set out for a large structure in outer space.
