I'm kinda just working on this story when I feel like it. So that explains why you get two chapters in one day, or night for this one. Plus I don't know whether no reviews by the third chapter is good or not. Hopefully good.

Later that night, everyone was bored. After a while they all sort of drifted to the living room, except for Slam, who was sleeping off his giant meal.

"God! Now would be a good time for a villain to break out of prison or destroy the planet. I'm so bored I could even settle for a petty thief!" Duck exclaimed.

"While the 'destroy the planet' part is debatable, I'm with Duck." Ace agreed.

"When I first became a superhero, I thought that I would always be kicking ass 24/7, not waiting for it." Lexi complained.

"Well- we- could- try- to- think- of- something! Maybe- board- games- like- Monopoly- Stratego- but- that's- probably- not- your- guys'- thing' so- probably- going- out- to- eat- I- heard- there's- this- great- pizza- place- downtown- or maybe- a- movie- I- heard- there's- this- new-" Rev finished as his beak was clamped by Tech's hand.

"Hey, maybe a movie's not such a bad idea! What do you guys think?" Ace asked.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

"But to be honest, I'm a bit worn-out from training today, so I don't think I want to go out to a theater. Maybe we could rent?" Lexi said.

"Sure. Cheaper too, saying as though we ain't paid for this superhero thing. What kind of flick should we watch?"

"Well we should clearly watch an action film." Duck said.

"I honestly don't really enjoy those anymore. Doing what they do in the movie every day takes the fun out of watching it. What about a comedy?" Tech said.

"Well- how- being- a- superhero- ruined- action- movies- it's- how- Duck- ruined- comedy- for- me."

Everyone laughed at this, to Duck's disapproval.

"How about a romance then?" Lexi asked.

"Sure, I guess I could go for one." Ace

Ooh-hoo-hoo, this will definitely hook them up together! Duck thought.

"Fine, I guess I'll go for it, since I have nothing else better to do." Duck said, feigning disappointment.

"Anyone disagree?"

Nobody did. They decided upon a 25th century remake of the good old classic, "Romeo and Juliet". They were near the end, when Juliet was about to drink the poison, when Ace glanced over at Lexi next to him, and noticed her tearing up slightly.

Hm, should probably do something about that. If this is how she acts before the ending, it's gonna be a lot worse. Ace thought.

He then got up and found a box of tissues, and handed them to Lexi when he sat down. She looked at the tissues, then back to his grinning face, and smiled back.

"Thanks, Ace."

"No problem."

She then subconsciously scooted closer to him. Ace noticed this, but didn't mind. By the time the movie finished, Lexi was crying a little while Duck was bawling.

"Why couldn't they have their love for each other just because their families hated each other?!"

Duck cried as he dramatically blew his nose from tissues he borrowed from Lexi.

"Okay, keep it down Duck." Tech said.

"But they were meant for each other! And they both died because of it!"

"Well if you're gonna keep on bawling your eyes out of a 17th century love story, then at least head off to your room. That's what I'm gonna do, at least."

"Me- too. Man- while- this- movie- was- a- pretty- good- one- it- sure- tires- you- out."

Tech, Rev, and Duck went off to their rooms, leaving Ace and Lexi on the couch.

"You gonna be okay, Lex?" Ace asked.

"*sniff* Yeah… it's just that it's messed up how the world was like that back then."

"Yeah, well, at least it ain't like that anymore. Now you can love anyone you want without being killed, unless you're like a superhero or something."

"What?"

Did I just say that? Ace thought, blushing.

"Oh, ehm, I guess it was the first thing I thought when I was talking about dangerous situations."

"While on the subject of love?" Lexi replied skeptically.

"Well what else would you think of that's more dangerous?"

"Hmm, well, okay. I guess I agree with you. On the loving anyone you want part, that is."

They then looked at each other, both their hearts speeding up.

"*ahem* Well, I think I'm going to go hit the hay. Night' Lex."

"Goodnight, Ace."

When she was walking back to her room, Lexi was thinking to herself.

I could've swore I heard Ace's heartbeat speed up when we looked at each other. No, that can't be it, I must've just heard my own. But what he said about loving anyone you want…

She shrugged it off, thinking it was a mere coincidence.

Maybe I'll just ask him about it tomorrow.

She then fell asleep, thinking of Ace.
