Chapter 6- The Great Depression
The morning came as usual, and again, the crew awakens, and for the past week, they wake p without the presence of Bit nearby. He still laid in the medical bed with the computers still attached to his body. Last night, he opened his eyes for the first time since the harsh battle, and yet, he still felt exhausted. Moving his head alone tired him out.
Here I am again... Same room... same shit...
Bit thought as depression of being in this bed wore him down to a level he has never been in years.
At the same time, someone else was in such depression; Leena strolled around the base like a mindless zombie. Nothing has been going on for the past week and she was bored. All she could do was wait. The Blitz team still couldn't battle any matches because several parts for the GunSniper had been delayed, and the pilot of the Liger Zero was still in a terrible condition. As for the Shadow Fox, it was pieced together like a puzzle and stood in the hanger, still missing vital components. On occasion, Leena would walk her half-armed Zoid around the base just for something to do. And today, she had just got back from her stroll.
"This is getting scary Doc."
Jamie told Doctor Tauros when Leena walked right past them without even knowing they were even in existence.
"She's been moping like this for awhile."
"Well Jamie, all we can do is let her have her time."
"For how much longer Doc? It's been a week now."
"She'll come around. She did the same thing when her mother past away."
"That may be Doc, but it's because of Bit she's like this. And Leena doesn't care for Bit that much..."
"I think you're wrong Jamie. I've seen her go to Bit's bedside late at night a few times. Every time she goes in, she's in tears. I think we should let it be."
"If you say so Doc..."
Jamie agreed, but deep down, he wasn't sure...
Leena hardly noticed Jamie or her father as she passed them in the hall. She didn't acknowledge them because she wasn't in the mood to talk to them. And she hasn't seen Brad anywhere today. Perhaps he left to see Naomi? It would be just like him to go run off to his girlfriend. She began to envy those two. Brad went to Naomi, but when will Bit ever come to her? Thoughts continued throughout her mind until the base's doorbell rang.
Who'd be here?
Leena asked. Perhaps it was the delivery guy come to deliver the rest of her GunSnipers parts? Suddenly, the very thought of something new broke her free from her zombie-like state. Giving a cry of joy for something, she rushed to the main gates to greet the person there. As she opened the door, her good mood was suddenly shattered!
"Leena, Darling!"
Harry Champ said as he presented to her a bouquet of flowers.
"Hello Harry. what do you want?"
Leena asked, rather annoyed with his presence. Harry practically shoved the flowers into her and on reflex, she took hold of them.
"Leena, my love, I've come to see how you are doing. Jamie told me all about the horrifying experience you had at the hands of the bastard Bit, and I've come to protect you."
"At Bit's Hands???"
She said, not quite understanding what Harry was saying
"Yes, I was told how the Liger attacked you and nearly killed you. Dear, sweet Leena, I shall rid this monster from your sight!"
Leena almost felt embarrassed to be seen with this man as he poses for her.
"Harry, Bit was the one who SAVED me. Bit isn't the only one with a Liger you know."
Harry's eyes doubled as he realized what Leena just told him. Could he actually believe his ears? That poor excuse for a Zoid Pilot actually SAVED his sweet Leena? It couldn't be...
"Leena, my dearest, Bit is but a simple grunt. Unfit to even look upon such beauty that you posses. How can what you say be true?"
"Are you calling me a liar?! Whether you like it or not Harry, Bit saved my life by risking his own."
Then, she suddenly slapped her hand across his face
"And how DARE you insult him while he's unable to defend himself?! Because of what happened out there, I may have been responsible for his death! So don't you even DARE speak of him like that again."
"But Leena... I..."
Harry whined as he caresses the red swelling under his eye. Without another word, Leena threw the bouquet of flowers aside and slammed the door at Harry's face.
That egotistical JERK!!! The nerve he has for coming here and claiming I'm his property. I do NOT like him, damn it! I like Bit!
She stopped suddenly. Did she just confess herself to her true feelings? Her cheeks flushed red under the heated blood that rushed through her. She realized that since the beginning, she always did feel something for Bit, and until now, she always denied it, but no more.
"And how are you feeling today Bit?"
The Doc asked as he came into the room and saw Bit staring straight up.
"Dunno."
Bit said simply.
"Well, at least you're no longer in a coma. We've all been worried for you Bit."
"No you haven't."
Bit said, sounding like he already convinced himself of the thought.
"That's not true Bit. Leena's spent most of her time in this room, praying by your side."
Bit said nothing, but it was clear that the Doc's words had some impact.
"Until we get the results from your last medical examine, I suppose you're going to stay here."
"Well, if I'm going to be here for awhile, I guess now's the time to tell you..."
Bit started, almost sounding like he was reading his last will and testament. Only to have his tone suddenly change.
"Your ceiling is hideous."
Bit smirked. Even though he was still too weak to laugh, he made an effort to. The Doc however, looked at the ceiling to confirm Bit's statement.
"I suppose it is. But there's nothing I can do about it."
"How about some wallpaper? Or maybe a new paint job?"
"You sound like you're getting better already."
Doc laughed as he left the room, leaving Bit to mentally visualize how the empty space above him would look with a fresh new coat of paint.
TO BE CONTINUED
------------------------------
I though it could use a few laughs, I know I did. What'd ya'll think? Well, that's it for now, I'll get chapter 7 ready in a few days.
Until Next Time ^_^
