Stryker: Hey! How's it going?
Hibisha: Lets see now….ummm…I had 3 burgers and some fries and I'm washing it all down with a milk-shake ….you?
Stryker: Hey Hibisha? What do we do in order to get our stories published as in for real?
Hibisha: hmm…..I guess we'd have to get discovered by some publishers. And that's gonna be tough since most people only look at really rich people. As far as the world is concerned, the richer you are, the more talented. That's why most of the talented people in the world are never recognized…because they're poor.
Stryker: But you are rich!
Hibisha *taken aback*: What makes you say that?
Stryker: Because you're always eating like you're this great princess or something.
Hibisha: You're judging me by what I eat?
Burn: You two are weird…..
Hibisha: On with the fic!
T.O.B.F: You haven't done the disclaimer yet dummy!
Atsuya: Stupid…..
Hibisha: You all are so mean…ToT.
Zonex: Excuuuuse me! I have a *beep* exam! *beep* Hibisha doesn't own *beep* the characters except her own.
Gazelle: *whistle* Now that was mean.
Hibisha: X-X
(A/N: Where were we? I can't open the net to find out. Oh yeah! The threat!)
"As Troubles Find You."
Outside the training grounds, and a little further away from it:
Outside the training centre, Heather sighed and started towards the vending machines. Stupid Heat, stupid Gazelle, stupid every one…. She popped a couple of quarters in and grabbed the soda can that rolled out. She opened the can and took a long slug out of it. Damn every one. Grimacing, she took a long breath and let it all out. It wasn't their fault, she thought, they were just nervous as she was. Heather looked around. Sighing she took another long slug.
"I wonder," Heather wondered silently, "How did they find my family. They're in Malibu!" As she turned around to go back to the she headed towards her training base/the F.F head quarters. It was actually the old alie academy turned into their HQ. All it needed was a little donation (from Elena & Gazelle) and a little hard work and voila! The ruined school was now a magnificent training ground. Of course, now it was a closer to civilization. In fact this time, it was constructed in the middle of a town.
As she walked toward it, she heard a shuffling sound behind her. She stopped suddenly. Looking around she saw no one but she quickened her pace. Next thing she knew she heard a swoosh, a small thud and suddenly she was falling. I'm such an idiot! She screamed at herself, I broke the biggest rule of The F.F! Never go out alone! But she could do nothing about it now as she fell into the black abyss.
In the F.F training in centre:
"Isn't she a bit late?" Rani asked everyone. Heather had gone out at exactly 3:00 pm. Now it was 6:30 pm and still no Heather. Rani and others were getting worried. Heather had gone out alone. Shirou looked at them, head tilted.
"Why are you all so worried?" he inquired. Atsuya was the one who answered him.
"The Dark-X ain't the only team after us." he said, tight lipped, "Heather's old team wants her back as well." Shirou's eyes widened.
"Old team?" he said, "What old team?" Atsuya snorted.
"The American team like no duh!" he said. Shirou looked confused.
"But Heather's not on the American national team." he pointed out.
"Not the soccer team, the basket ball team." Gazelle said impatiently. Rani on the other hand was getting frantic about Heather. She was after all Heather's friend. Sighing she got up and walked outside. She needed some fresh air and hey, if the captain could break rules, so could she. Walking swiftly she went and checked the vending machine. Finding nothing there she began to trace the path home. There! Right on the pavement was a soda can. With the soda 's heart began to pound against her chest. No one would find this soda can of any importance but Rani knew….no one drank this soda except Heather. She was terrified. Heather loved this soda and unless she had suddenly developed a new liking which was impossible, Heather was in trouble. She raced toward the training centre but she crashed into someone in the way. The both fell.
"Ow!" she cried, "Watch where you're going!" she said rubbing the back of her head. She looked up and suddenly began to blush bright red. It was Hiroto Kiyama. True she had met him only twice but still was enough to make her fall for him….really hard.
"Um. Sorry bout that." she muttered to him, "I was sorta in a hurry." He smiled.
"Well what a coincidink. So was I." he grinned. Rani felt a smile tug on her pink lips.
"I'm trying to look for my missing friend. I'm afraid she's in trouble." Hiroto's eyes widened.
"So am I!" he said. "Except my friend's a male." She laughed despite of herself.
"How about we search together." she offered, turning pink this time, "You know we'll be able to cover more ground." He shrugged.
"Sure," he said, "Lets do it." Getting up, he dusted himself and reached out a hand to help Rani up. In the past Rani would have never taken the invite. She would have insisted on helping herself up but there was something different about Hiroto. His eyes told her to rust him. So she reached out and allowed herself to be pulled up. They exchanged quick smiles and walked off. Both pink in the face.
Hibisha: Well?
Stryker: Its still stupid.
Hibisha: Jealous!
T.O.B.F: it was…..ok.
Hibisha: Good enough for me. Plz review!
Zonex: Yeah don't be so lazy. Press that button down there and feel free to drop a review.
