"Cyborg 009"- talking

'Cyborg 009'- thinking

::Cyborg 009::- 001 talking

It was the next day and Professor Kazumi had arrived at Gilmore's house.

"Hello my old friends," said Kazumi.

A chorus of "hello's" answered from the cyborg crew.

"Well, I guess I better get to whooping your tail Gilmore so that maybe I can spend some time with everyone else," said Kazumi cheerfully.

"Grrrrrrrr. You want to bet on that," growled Gilmore as he shot Kazumi a dirty look.

"Uh oh. I think I should go and get the board set up before he kills me," and Kazumi left the room with Gilmore on his tail still fuming at the insult he received.

"Ha. Gilmore needs to chill. Kazumi was only kidding," said 002.

"I doubt it," said 004. "Kazumi soundly beat him last time. It was pretty funny to see Gilmore so ticked."

"I'll bet his nose turned bright red so he looked like a tomato," said 007. With that he transformed into a red-schnozzed Gilmore.

His appearance was greeted by the laughter of everyone except Gilmore. Apparently, he had returned to the kitchen for some snacks to share with Kazumi. He cleared his throat loudly. It was even loud enough to be heard over the roaring laughter of the cyborgs. 007 was startled and transformed back to his real face. The room was dead silent.

"Oh, uh, hi Dr. Gilmore. Uh, heh heh. Bye," and he took off running down the hall.

All of the other cyborgs followed suit and left the now completely pissed doctor alone in the kitchen.

The cyborgs reassembled in the living room.

"Geez, 007. You just about got all of us killed!" stated 002.

"Yeah. Did you see the look on his face?" asked 008.

"He looked like he was mad enough to spit flames like 006." said 0016.

"You guys are so mean," said 003.

"You were laughing too you know," 002 pointed out.

She tried to defend herself, "well, I was laughing at 007."

"Sure whatever," said 002 and he left the room.

0016 also got up and left to follow 002. 009 and 003 left the room as well, hand in hand. 006 headed for the kitchen to make lunch, but he made sure Gilmore wasn't there first. 005 and 008 started a game of chess. 004 smiled as 0016 followed 002 out of the room and headed for his own room with his favorite book in hand.

Outside 002 had hopped up in a tree and was looking out over the trees in the surrounding forest. He looked down as he heard approaching footsteps. They must have been 0016's because they sounded uneven.

"Hey 0016," he said as she limped into the clearing. "What happened to your crutches? Oh." His eyes fell upon her injured leg. She had formed her armor in a cast around her leg.

"I thought this would be better for me than those annoying crutches," she said with a smile. "Move over I'm coming up," and she hopped up beside him.

"I guess so." He was now smiling too.

She slid closed to him on the branch. She leaned closer to him and whispered, "I got your letter."

Startled, he almost fell off. "But, how. How did you know it was me?" he stuttered.

"It was kind of obvious don't you think?" she asked.

"I guess it was," he said quietly. "Don't hate me."

"What?"

"Don't hate me. I know you already like 004 so don't hate me please," he said.

"I don't like 004. I was just worried about him. That's all. If you were really hurt I'd worry about you too. I'd do the same for anybody," she replied. "But I'd do more for you."

She leaned closer and kissed him deeply. Their lips locking in a seemingly eternal embrace. His arms found their way around her neck and hip. Her arms found his neck and chest. Their bodies intertwined in the bond of love. (A/N- It was just a hug, sheesh.)

As they pulled away slowly, 0016 whispered, "I love you too."

At the dinner table 002 and 0016 sat across from each other. 002 suggested they do this to try not to attract attention. 004 smirked as he saw the new seating arrangement. He wrote himself a mental note to talk to 002 after dinner. Gilmore and Kazumi were not present. 005 told everyone it was because of their heated game.

"Geez. That thing is still going on?" asked 007.

"As far as I know, yes," said 005.

"I thought they were playing only one game though," said 009.

"Well, it kind of goes like this. Gilmore lost even thought the deal was for him to win. Gilmore accused Kazumi of cheating so they had a rematch after some rather loud arguments," summarized 005.

"So in other words, Gilmore sucks at this game," 004 summed it up.

(A/N- If anybody knows what this game is called would they pleeez tell me.)

After dinner, 004 finally managed to corner 002 away from everybody else.

"Why didn't you ask her?" he asked.

"Ask who what?" replied a confused 002.

004 reminded him, "You know, 0016."

"Oh yeah, 0016, wait how did you know I liked her?!" he yelled.

"Sssshhh! Not so loud. I really don't think you want everyone to know," 004 cautioned.

"Ooops. But how did you know?"

"It's kind of obvious don't you think?" replied 004.

"That's the same thing 0016 told me. Was I really that obvious?"

"Only to the people who actually watched you last night," said 004 with a grin.

"You little creep!" yelled 002 as he lunged for 004's neck.

004 quickly sidestepped 002's attack and shoved him in the back into a nearby room. As 002 stumbled inside 004 slammed the door shut and hissed, "Now ask her on a date. You know you want to."

"But," 002's protest fell on deaf ears as his face was greeted by the door.

As he turned around, rubbing his sore nose and muttering obscenities his eyes widened in shock. He stood perfectly still and quiet. 0016 had been watching the entire time. She giggled and said, "Gee 002. I didn't know you liked kissing that door too. Now you make me think that kiss in the woods meant nothing to you." she looked away in mock sorrow.

"I'm sorry 0016. I didn't mean to barge in on you and I'll just leave now and," he was cut short by her hand over his mouth.

"Come over here and sit down Mr. Loudmouth," she said as she dragged him over to the couch she had been sitting on.

"Uh, 0016."

"What is it?" she asked sweetly.

"Uh, I uh, wanted to, uh know," he faltered.

"Know what?"

I wantedtoknowifyouwantedtogoonadatewithme," he said quickly.

"Awww. That's so sweet. Of course I will," and she kissed him again.

004 hurried off to tell everyone the news.

Now that 002 has asked 0016 on a date, who knows what will happen next. And what about everyone else knowing about their new connection. Review pleeez.

The next chapter is called Disastrous Date.
