Here's Chapter 4! :D I start things off slightly depressing, but trust me; funny things happen here. Enjoy! :D
The battle force 5 was just returning from a battlezone. As usual, they'd gotten the battle key. Spinner was excited to tell Octavia about it. He rushed into the rec room, thinking she was playing video games. To his surprise, the room was empty. He wandered around, trying to find her.
"Yo Octavia, I wanna tell you about the battlezone," the short boy called out. He didn't get any answer. He stopped in front of a closed door to try and figure out where Octavia would be. However, his chain of thought was interrupted by the faint sound of someone crying coming from the room behind him. Spinner turned around and opened the door.
Octavia was sitting on the end of a bed with her back to the door. Her skin and hair were blue.
"G-Go away," she mumbled. Spinner ignored her and walked to the bed, sitting down beside her.
"What's wrong?" he asked, concerned and weirdly serious for once.
"N-None of your b-business," Octavia replied, turning away from him. The dark haired girl didn't want Spinner to see her crying. "J-Just leave m-me alone," she added.
"But...You're my friend, and you're obviously upset. So I think I'm gonna stay here until you tell me what's up!" Spinner decided stubbornly.
"I-I want to b-be by myself!" Octavia snapped. The short boy gained a hurt look.
"I just wanted to try to help," he said dejectedly, and stood up. Feeling the shift of weight, the dark haired girl turned to him. Tears were sliding down her face; her eyes were red and her nose running.
"W-wait...I'm sorry S-Spinner," Octavia whispered. He sat back down.
"Now tell me what's wrong!" he said. The dark haired girl's head dropped.
"M-My boyfriend w-was cheating o-on me...H-He said the other g-girl wasn't n-nearly as much a...a w-waste of his t-time as I w-was...H-He said she w-was m-more m-mature and...She w-was just a-all around b-better than me!" Octavia wailed, breaking out into a complete bawl. "I-I feel s-so stupid!" she sobbed. Spinner wrapped his arms around her.
"You're not stupid, he's just a jerk! If he really thought you were as terrible as he said you were, and trust me you're not, why wouldn't he break up with you in the first place, instead of cheating? It doesn't seem like he wanted to let you go..." Spinner trailed off. Octavia looked at him, tears blurring her vision.
"I g-guess...You m-might be r-right...I-I didn't e-even like h-him that much anymore...But it s-still hurts!" the dark haired girl replied. "That was surprisingly deep for you, Spinner. I didn't think you could ever be serious like that," she added.
"Well, I am very surprising. Anyway, no more crying and moping!" he stated, removing his arms from around her and standing up.
"But Spinner..." Octavia whined.
"No, no more crying. Now it's super fun happy time to cheer you up!" he exclaimed, grabbing her by the hand and pulling her off the bed, and out of the room. He took her to a spot with a rail, and a doorway underneath it. Spinner pulled out a box of water balloons.
"Water balloons?" she asked incredulously. The short boy nodded with a wide, lopsided grin. He took a water balloon in his hand and leaned over the rail, waiting. When he heard the door slide open, he let the balloon fall.
"My fohawk! It's ruined!" Stanford screamed, the water balloon wrecking his hair. "Look what you've done!" he glared up at Spinner. Spinner looked at Octavia, looking for a reaction.
The dark haired girl was frowning. Then, the corners of her mouth twitched upwards. As a smile planted itself on her face, she giggled. She burst out laughing, and Spinner laughed too. Stanford turned back through the door with a scowl.
Octavia was the one to get a water balloon this time. She heard the door opening again, and dropped the balloon.
"Hey!" Sherman shouted in surprise.
"Haha, little bro!" Spinner yelled down. The younger Cortez sighed in annoyance, and walked away. Spinner and Octavia did a fist bump, and waited for their next target.
When the door opened again, both of them dropped a water balloon. They grinned as they heard the water balloons break.
"Oh come on!" Vert exclaimed. Spinner and Octavia snickered. Vert looked up at them. "You two should put the water balloons away," the blonde suggested. "Before you get into trouble...Or something."
The two got what Vert was hinting at, and the water balloons went away.
"So what now?" Octavia asked. Spinner thought for a moment, then he grinned.
"C'mon!" he said, grabbing Octavia's hand again and pulling her off somewhere.
Soon the group was entering the diner. Spinner rushed ahead with Octavia and the two slid into the booth. Right before the others sat down, Spinner quickly laid out five whoopee cushions. The moment the others sat down, there were five simultaneous loud farting sounds. Everyone around that booth turned to look at them oddly.
"Spinner, what did we say about whoopee cushions?" the group exclaimed. The short boy shrugged.
"I don't know, I wasn't paying attention," he confessed.
"We said there would be no more whoopee cushions, after that spaghetti incident," Agura informed him. Stanford just crossed his arms and looked away at the mention of the spaghetti incident.
"What spaghetti incident?" Octavia asked curiously. Stanford glared at her.
"We swore we'd never talk about it, so I guess you'll never find out," he spat.
"Well, this one time we were having spaghetti for dinner, and I put a whoopee cushion on Stanford's seat and he didn't notice and—" Spinner explained, before getting interrupted.
"You're not allowed to explain it!" Stanford shouted.
"You're no fun," Spinner said, sulking.
The group ordered pizza and sodas as usual. Octavia ate her slice really slowly, but not nearly as messy as the first time she had pizza on Earth.
"Oh hey, what's that over there?" Spinner asked, pointing, as soon as the sodas were on the table. As everyone turned to look at where he was pointing, the short boy quickly threw a gummy worm in each soda, except his and Octavia's. "Oops, I guess it was nothing," he said, shrugging, as everyone turned back.
Stanford was the first to find the gummy worm in his soda. He rolled his eyes at Spinner, and then he lifted his soda. As he took a sip, the gummy worm slid forward and almost into his mouth. Stanford dropped the soda, panicked. The soda spilt all over him and the floor; the gummy worm landed in his lap. The redhead picked the gummy worm up. He glared at Spinner.
"Wha-What...?" Spinner asked, trying his best not to laugh. Unfortunately, he turned away from Stanford just to look at Octavia. She was also stifling laughter. The two just burst out laughing.
Sherman just sighed, and took a drink of his own soda. When he set the soda down with the gummy worm hanging out of his mouth, Octavia and Spinner howled with laughter. Sherman gave them both annoyed glances as he ate the gummy worm.
Zoom actually stuck his fingers into his soda, quickly finding the gummy worm that inhabited his drink. He ate it as well. Agura and Vert just shook their heads, watching Spinner and Octavia gasping for breath.
"It...Hurts," the two whined, even though they knew full well they had brought it on themselves. Stanford shot them both dirty looks, as he got up and proceeded to leave the diner.
Once Spinner and Octavia had recovered, the group went back to the base. Stanford had taken a shower after his sticky situation. Spinner and Octavia simply went off to play video games once again.
"I think they were made for each other or something," Zoom voiced.
"I've never seen anyone get along quite that well with Spinner before, and he's my big bro. They just...Connect," Sherman responded. After a few moments, the shouting about Spinner not explaining complicated things correctly began.
"Of course," Agura and Zoom said at the same time.
