Sorry I haven't been updating lately. I got wayyy too excited for Protobot Perpetrator and started typing it. I did release a sneak peel for it so check that out. Review and take the poll! Remember that if I get over 30 reviews for this story then I'll write a short storyyyy!
Last Chapter: Lilly's mom died and she's really depressed. She also found out that her sister is still alive. (She thought that she was dead when the police found her mom with that guy that kidnapped them.)
I actually got an idea for this chapter from a review I left in Famous Advice.
The agents were sitting in the command room checking computers and waiting for any news to come up. So far there was nothing so the co-workers were sitting around the table playing 20 questions. Lilly was upside down in the chair and Rookie was laying on the table eating cookies. Gary was simultaneously drawing out blueprints for a new gadget.
"Soooo G." Lilly started. "When did you start being lame? Like...a nerd."
"Ummm." G laughed. "When I was around 7 I became obsessed with math and 10, science."
"Gross..."
"Dot, where do you get all of your disguises?" Rookie asked.
"I make 'em."
"Oh...I thought that magical little elves made them."
"What?"
"Cookiessss!"
"Rookie." Jet started.
"Yes?"
"Why are you obsessed with cookies?"
"Because I like them." He answered shoving one in.
"I have one for Lilly." G said.
"What is it nerdy?" She asked.
"Is that your new nickname for me?"
"Yes."
"OK the real question now...where were you born...I don't even know where your from."
"Me either." Dot said. "Where are you from."
"Mississippi."
"Where-issippi?" Rookie stated. Lilly laughed.
"Its in America."
"Oh...wheres that?"
"Not here." Lilly answered. "Hmmm I have one for JPG."
"STOP calling me that!"
"Why don't you ever smile or laugh?" She asked looking half cross eyes at a pen she was twiddling in her hands.
"I smile!" Guy said offensively. "I smile a lot more when your not around thats for sure."
"Offensive." Lily said pointing the pen at him. "But that doesn't answer your laughing problem."
"I work with you..." He started. "Why would I ever laugh."
"Once again...offensive." She said clicking the pen really fast in his direction and standing up.
"Ok now I have one for Lilly." Jet pack Guy said smartly. "How come whenever someone asks you about or mentions family, you somehow disappear or avoid the question?"
"Maybe I have a personal life aside from the guy who hangs out with a fish."
"His name is Flash and he keeps me company while I write jet pack memoirs."
"You mean he keeps guard while you write in your diary?"
"NO! At least I HAVE something to keep me company!"
"Who says I don't?!" Lilly shouted.
"Where's your family then?!"
"Where's YOUR family?!"
"Next island over, now what about yours?"
"THEY'RE ALL DEAD!" She shouted tearing up. "MAYBE SOME OF US DON'T HAVE A PERFECT LIFE WITH BOTH YOUR PARENTS AND ALL OF YOUR SIBLINGS. MAYBE SOME OF US DIDN'T HAVE TO LIVE ON THE STREETS FOR YEARS TRYING TO MAKE PENNIES TO PAY FOR YOUR MOMS MEDICAL BILLS WHICH IN THE END DIDN'T MATTER BECAUSE SHE DIED LAST NIGHT!" She ran out of the room crying and through Club Penguin to her igloo.
"Ummm did I just do that?" Jet asked.
"I think so." Dot said. They all sat down and a few minutes later a lime green penguin with brunette hair and a gray sweater walked in the room.
"Hi Agent Jade." Gary said.
"Hi." The girl said. "You guys know Lilly right?"
"Yeah...why is she so...like that." Jet said waving his arms around in the air.
"Guys I really shouldn't be telling you...I'll tell you the outlines of it." She started. "Lilly had a really bad childhood and her mom just died last night. She's really upset and she's been getting bullied about everything by some people in America...don't ask why. She would move back there, but with the way kids are acting she doesn't want to."
Jet really thought about what she had said. Hour later, Lilly was working the night shift. The other agents were supposed to stay home, but Jet returned. They were the only ones in the EPF.
"Lilly." Jet said walking into the room. Lilly usually wore long sleeves at work to cover her arms and help protect them from debris that might be flying around her. She set down her papers and looked up at the wall in front of her.
"What?!" She snapped. He walked up behind her and she turned around. He saw the scars and scabs in lines on her arms.
"Lilly!" He said shocked and then half whispered in disbelief. "You have scars."
"Jet." She said wandering away from him and turning back. "We all know that I hate you, but can you promise me something?"
"Y-Yeah?" He answered doubtfully.
"Promise me that you'll never do self harm."
"I-I promise."
"It's not worth it." She said trailing off and looking down at her scars. Suddenly Jet pulled her into a tight hug and she tensed up and barely put her arms around him.
"Wha-"
"I'm sorry." He cut her off. "I-I didn't know that you had such a rough life and I wasn't helping. I made it so much worse y- you left America to get away from jerks and I am one."
"How do you know about my childhood?"
"Jade told me." He answered. "I'm sorry." He hugged her tighter. "I'm sorry." Lilly was still tense.
"I forgot what hugs felt like."
"What do you mea?"
"I haven't had a REAL hug since I was thirteen." Jet didn't say anything and just closed his eyes. Lilly finally relaxed and tightened her grip on him.
"I miss hugs." She whispered. A few minutes later Jet pack Guy spoke.
"Can we stop hating each other?"
"Why do we hate each other anyways?"
"I was maybe a little jealous of your skills because I wanted to be one of the best agents..you?"
"I thought it was annoying how you wanted to be the best agent." Lilly answered. They stopped hugging. Lilly leaned up against the table and Jet stood with one hand across his front and held his other arm.
"Sooo definitely not wanting to kill each other, but DEFINITELY not like liking each other?" Lilly asked.
"Yeah." Lilly looked at the time on the clock on the wall. "I have to get back to work." She sighed.
"Bye." he said walking towards the door. "I hate you." He laughed.
"I hate you too." She answered laughing as well.
Leedle leedle leedle leeeee! (Patrick...I'm tired.)
