Annime: I'm back!

Samantha: Annime doesn't own SRMTHFG or anything belonging to someone else! XD

Chapter 3

Chiro rolled around the refurbished lab with curiosity. Everything was so clean and new.

The teen rolled over to the book shelf and started to go through them. He understood all of the languages in every single one of the many books, so he began to read.

"You know, you aren't supposed to be hanging around and reading. You are supposed to be helping with setting everything up." Samantha suddenly appeared beside Chiro, making him jump.

"Will you stop that?" Chiro asked with announce. "And if you haven't noticed, everything else has to be hung up. I can't do that kind of stuff because I'm in a wheel chair."

"Hmm," Samantha hummed at this as she crossed her arms. "You are a spoiled little brat, you know that?"

Chiro stuck his tongue out at her as she cleaned up some of the books he was finished with.

"So," Samantha spoke again. "How have you been? I heard that you kinda had a power upgrade."

"Yes, it's only a little different," Chiro replied. "I found out that I still have the powers of an Earth Benver, but I can just do more things besides that. Luckily I can feel vibrations again."

"How can I believe that if I snuck up on you so easily?" Samantha teased.

Chiro smiled and rolled his blue eyes. "Hey, that's only because I wasn't paying attention."

"Sure it is."

"It IS the reason."

"Chiro, you know I'm only messing with you, cuz. Now, just calm down and shut up."

Chiro poked Samantha in the side and the teen girl jumped. She turned to him and glared.

"You know, you are SO lucky that you are in a wheel chair or I would take you down right here and right now."

Chiro shrugged. "Go ahead and do it anyway. But, Antauri won't be very happy about it."

"Chiro, really, do not tempt me."

Chiro chuckled as he straightened the rest of the books out. "Well, let's go see what gramps and dad are doing."

Samantha followed Chiro as the boy led the way to Antauri and the Alchemist's location.

"So, you still think it's too soon to tell him?" the Alchemist asked Antauri with curiosity.

"Yes," Antauri answered. "He will want to get up and go find her the moment he hears what you want to say, but he is hurt. We can't tempt him like that."

The Alchemist nodded in agreement. "Yes, I see your point, although, I do hope to tell him very soon."

"And that you will, my friend. We must be patient though."

Chiro came rolling into the room with Samantha and the two elders went quiet about their discussion.

"Hello Antauri, Savio, how are you guys?" Samantha asked, her big brown eyes holding the smile she also wore on her face.

"Hello Samantha and Chiro," Antauri welcomed the two teens. "Do you have everything finished in there?"

"Yep," Chiro said. "Everything is in tip top shape. The only problem is the chandelier on the ceiling. Neither of us can get to it so that it can get fixed."

Antauri and the Alchemist nodded.

"I'll take care of it," Antauri told the two as he floated out of the room the way Chiro and Samantha had just entered. The two teens followed him as the silver simian entered the room they had just left.

The Alchemist watched Chiro as he rolled away.

"The poor boy has never known how important he really is to some people," the Alchemist whispered. "But, whatever happens, it's all in God's hands."

Chiro and Samantha watched as Antauri floated up to the chandelier and straightened it out.

"Do you ever wish you could fly?" Samantha asked Chiro as she leaned up against the handle of the wheel chair.

"Yea but if you had the power of flying we would all be terrified."

"And why is that?"

"Because you can already turn invisible and that's bad enough."

Samantha crossed her arms and pouted playfully as Antauri floated back down to the two teens.

"You know, your son is VERY mean to me," Samantha complained to Antauri. "He says mean things to me all the time."

Antauri chuckled and used his hands to mess up both of the teens' hair.

"You guys show each other you love each other in so many ways," Antauri pointed out. After this he floated back to where the Alchemist was still standing.

"You are SUCH a cry baby," Chiro said to Samantha with a laugh.

"Well, at least I CAN cry," Samantha counted.

Chiro took a sharp breath. "Now THAT is REALLY harsh, cuz, you know that?"

Samantha crossed her arms and walked away from the wheel chair-ridden boy.

"Hey, get back here," Chiro called out. "I'm not done with you yet." Chiro rolled over towards Samantha furiously in an attempt to catch up with her.

"You're gonna have to catch me first!" Samantha yelled behind her shoulder. Suddenly, the female girl broke into a run, making Chiro groan.

"That's not far!" Chiro shouted as he tried his hardest to speed up. "You are SO lucky I'm in this stupid wheel chair!"

The two elders were laughing in the other room as they heard the sibling rivalry.

"They might as well be brother and sister," the Alchemist spoke to Antauri, laughter in his words.

Antauri nodded. "Yes, and this isn't the first time I've witnessed something like this between the two. I find it both entertaining and sweet."

The Alchemist went quiet again as the sound of the two went away and turned into nothing. He stayed quiet for a while, causing Antauri to worry.

"Alchemist, are you ok?" Antauri questioned. The Alchemist nodded.

"Yes, I just wonder what she is doing right now."

Antauri looked over at the Alchemist. "You mean Gioia, don't you?"

The Alchemist nodded. "She never seemed like the one to give up a child for any reason at all. I understand why she did it, but she must have been heart broken- she must STILL be heart broken."

Antauri turned away from the Alchemist and back to the large computer they had been working on for a long while.

"I'm sure she is," Antauri whispered.

Annime: I hope that this chapter is ok!

Chiro: Samantha, get back here!

Samantha: NEVER!

Annime: (sweat drop)
