Chapter seven: Movie Night
"This system must be from the freaking eighteenth century" Julia exclaimed, trying with all her might to battle the endless rows of viruses and blockades that kept popping up when she thought she had cleared one. Letting out a sigh, she leaned back into the office chair, taking of the glasses that she used when reading and rubbed the bridge of her nose. Julia was absolutely positive that she had never seen such an infiltrated computer, the system was old and took forever to start up, and she wasn't even gonna think about the hard drive and memory card.
Dropping her hand, she stretched her arms until her back gave the familiar pop sound and looked around the room. It was small, with gray walls and the floor had a worn out pale brown color. It was filled with cabinets and the desk she was currently sitting at, with the ancient computer on it and her own laptop beside. It had been nearly a week since the big misunderstanding that had let Modo and Vinnie to try and launch a sneak attack on her, ending with her thinking they were burglars and her smashing Vinnie with a frying pan, which she later discovered had gotten a dent from the incident.
They contacted Charlie to let her know Throttle was alive, okay and not kidnapped by a weird voice over the phone. Julia found out that she quite liked the female mechanic, she was tough and didn't take crap from anyone, especially Vinnie who constantly flirted with her. Julia found it kinda endearing, reminding her of how boys in kindergarten would act annoying to get a girls attention. Also, they discovered that Charlie indeed had known her old man, they had never been close, but he had brought Valkyrie and Betsy in a couple of times, when he wanted a second opinion, or so he said. Julia knew that he had just been too proud and downright stubborn to say out straight that he needed some help. He would always find an excuse, even if he knew the person he used it on knew he was lying, as long as there were no questions asked.
Throttle had spend an extra day at her house, so she could be sure that the stitches wouldn't go up. And at the end of evening, she had finally gotten herself that so earned luxury bubble bath, with both scented candles, bath salted and with extra bubbles. Oh, how that had felt good, and even better when she put on some music and got a book to read. She had stayed in the tub until she looked like an overcooked raisin, or a very wrinkly little pink pig.
Now after a week, or almost a week, Throttle's wound was healing very nicely and much faster than a human's, making him able to walk around the place, though she had forbidden him from going on any Limburger chases for at least another week. Vinnie had laughed at him, telling him how she got him on a leash. Julia had threatened him with a frying pan, instantly shutting him up.
It was probably wrong, but she couldn't help getting great satisfaction from being able to make Vinnie cover in fear of being whammed with a kitchenware.
'Wonder how long that will last? I could always hit him with a pot when it wears off' Julia thought devilishly to herself, knowing she would never do it...unless he really deserved it.
"Hey Julia" Charlie's voice pulled her back to sanity, as much sanity you have when you hang out with three overgrown rodents. The auburn-haired woman stood in the door, carrying two cups of something steaming and coffee-like smelling.
"I've got coffee, want a cup?" she asked, holding one of the mugs in Julia's direction and sipping on her own.
"Yes, thanks a lot, I was dying for some caffeine. Nothing personal, but your computer is like that lump of green stuff in your refrigerator that had been there way to long and you don't know what it was original. Way overdue" Julia explained dramatically, wanting to draw a picture of the ancientness that this computer had.
It made Charlie chuckle as she sat down the mug, in her reach but far away enough for the computers to be out of any spilling danger.
"Yeah, I haven't really gotten it checked through since...well, since I bought it" she said while scratching her neck sheepishly, it made Julia make an "Oh" sound.
"That makes a whole lot more sense" she said, flashing a smile and added "but just you wait and see, I will have this baby running and even put all the files you have in those cabinets, into your antiquity of a computer. It will make dealing with costumers so much easier and I'll use my own protective program so no viruses or hackers will get their fingers on any information".
"You really don't have to do that Julia, that's way too much work" Charlie exclaimed bewildered, making Julia laugh this time. But she knew Charlie enough already, to know she wouldn't let this go so she instead said "Okay, what about we make a deal? I've been meaning to take my pickup truck, Betsy, to a mechanic, so in exchange for upgrading your computer, you'll fix Betsy".
Now Charlie laughed with her, probably having figured out why Julia had struck up a bargain instead of simply keep insisting she didn't need payment. To Julia, it was a favor for a friend.
"I'll say...its a deal" Charlie responded and they both gave a shake to close the deal, like business men did. It made them both grin wide and just as they let go of each others hands, the sounds of bike engines could be heard from outside the garage. Charlie smiled at Julia and said "Looks like the guys are back".
Julia had learned that it was actually very easy to hear if it were the Martian mice or a regular costumer, probably because the motorbikes were from mars, they made a different kind of motor noise. You wouldn't notice at first, but if you knew what to listen for, you couldn't miss it.
"Looks like it, what were they doing?" Julia asked, curious of what the guys did in their spare time, besides beating Limburger aka ol' Cheese Head. She couldn't imagine them strolling down the untouched streets of Chicago, or go to the grocer for some root beer.
Charlie just shrugged, taking another sip of the coffee and said "Beats me, I haven't heard any explosions, so I don't think they faulted another of Limburger's schemes. That usually ends up in his building, or something else blowing up".
Julia got up from the chair and went out to the garage with Charlie, to see what the guys were up to.
They were just getting off their bikes when the two females entered from out the office in the corner of the shop. Again Julia couldn't help but wonder how they survived the stupid heat wave that was plaguing Chi Town at the moment. Julia herself made sure to take as little clothing on as possible without looking like some prostitute. Today it was light blue denim shorts and a light green strap-top with blue flowers in the bottom corner, and a pair of open sandals. Her hair was up in a high ponytail, giving the neck much needed air.
But the guys, they were covered in fur, fur they couldn't take off unless they were willing to shave it all off. It gave Julia a very amusing image that made her giggle quietly. Charlie asked her what she was laughing about and Julia explained in a hush voice, not wanting the mice to overhear. It made Charlie burst out laughing, almost spilling her coffee; this, of course, got the guys attention.
"What's so funny babe?" Vinnie asked, using his usually flirtatious tone, but Charlie didn't tell him off, most likely because she was laughing too hard. It was hard not to laugh with her and Julia ended up breaking too, joining Charlie while the images of the guys like those hairless rodents you could get as a pet, flooded her mind.
"What's so funny!" Vinnie demanded, not wanting to be left out of the fun.
"Do ya think the girls are onto something?" Modo asked Throttle, pointing at the laughing females.
Throttle shrugged and answered "Not sure, we probably have to wait it out", that however wasn't part of the white mouse plan.
"Come on! Tell me already!" he practically yelled, trying to overpower the laughing.
Julia looked up and said, under now more controlled laughter "Just a thought, you don't wanna know" she stated, the laughing fading with them both.
"No fair" Vinnie whined, with Charlie, of course, dealing with him "Oh, suck it up Vinnie" she said in her usual sassy tone. Now Throttle and Modo were chuckling at their bro.
Julia, being used to do it when her dad was alive, said "Welcome back". She and her dad had always welcomed each other home, it was a small thing but it made her just a little bit happier every time he had said it. Knowing that you were welcomed and loved in your home, that someone cared enough to go to the door to greet you. It was a wonderful feeling, something she had lost when he died and now, when she returned home, only the empty rooms were there to greet her. In first couple of days after the funeral, she had kept announcing her arrival in the house, shouting 'I'm home', forgetting that her dad wouldn't be there anymore to say; 'Welcome back pumpkin'.
"Good to be back" Throttle answered, giving her a crooked smile that she returned before asking "Where were you guys?" Julia was still a tiny bit worried about Throttle's wound, she couldn't really help it, it was just the way she was screwed together. Something that Ria often teased about, saying she would be a worrywart of a mother. Julia always just laughed with her friend, or proceeded to grab a pillow or something, and chase her around the room until she took the words back.
"Just cruising the city, checking for any of Limburger's goons. The Stink Head has been laying surprisingly low since the bomb last week" Throttle answered and Julia could hear his concern, she didn't know Limburger or his plans that well, but she got that it wasn't normal for the disguised fish alien to do so. It could be a 'calm before the storm' type of thing, which was one of the worst kinds.
It lulled you into a false sense of security, before crashing it all down at once, tipping the scale so you would trip.
Julia was sure that it was the same thing the tawny mouse was thinking, and what the best course of action would be. Lay low too, waiting for the storm to come and face it head on? Or try to dig the problem up by the root? Julia knew it wasn't their way to kill, so killing Limburger wasn't part of his in-progress-plan.
This got her thinking, had Throttle and the others ever killed someone? He had told her about their planet being at war, so it seemed likely. Every war had its casualties. Julia didn't like to think about it, she had never experienced anything as horrible as war, and hoped she would never have to. Killing another person, the very thought made her skin crawl a bit. She had no doubt that she was capable of doing it, put in the right situation, she was human after all. She imagined it being to protect someone, a friend or a child.
"Ha! Fish Face is simply too afraid to mess with the baddest mammajamma motor mouse"
Vinnie's self praising voice pulled her back to the garage, where the white biker mouse was showing of his biceps.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night" Modo chuckled, laying his big hand on the youngster's shoulder.
Vinnie made a protesting noise but it was interrupted by Throttle asking "So what are you girls up to?"
"Oh," Julia began "just bargaining about one favor for another" she smiled knowingly to Charlie who was a few inches taller than her, making Julia the smallest of the group. 'I wish Ria was here, then I wouldn't feel so damn small' Julia thought.
"What favor?" Modo asked, Vinnie also seemed interested, or maybe he just hated being left out of anything. This time Charlie answered, "Julia is upgrading my computer and whole system, in exchange, I take a thorough look at her pickup truck, she claims it needs it".
"Hey! What do you mean claim? She's an old truck and needs some looking after, and I'm no mechanic" Julia playfully burst out, it was true that her beloved red pickup truck needed a check and she was not very confident about messing that much with the old engine. It needed an expert, which she was not.
"Don't put yourself down too much, you did a pretty bang up job with Throttle's bike" Charlie said, in a kinda praising tone that made the young brunette smile at the auburn mechanic.
"Yeah Julia ma'am, and that is AI technology from Mars we're talking about, not just some old bike" Modo chipped in. Julia had discovered she really liked Modo. He was like an older brother or a gentle uncle, both something she never had. None of her parents had any siblings and her only sibling was Valerie who she had grown apart from a long time.
"Thanks," she smiled at the gang "but really, she needs a check up".
They all laughed a bit before Vinnie asked "So, who's up for movie night at the scoreboard?".
By the sound of it, Julia guessed it was a regular happening thing for the guys and Charlie and it didn't sound to shabby for her either.
The scoreboard part didn't confuse her, the guys had explained how they crashed into the board in the middle of a game and for some reason no one had tried to investigate or anything. Of all the weirdness that surrounded her now, that was for some reason the most confusing thing for her.
Why had no one called the cops? Why wasn't the crash all over the news? It could easily be front news material. It amazed her that Limburger hadn't figured out their hiding place yet, was he stupid or something?
'Probably' her mind concluded with a shrug, she knew it was futile to try and think too hard about the subject, so she dropped it.
"Sounds good, what about you Julia? You wanna come?" Charlie asked, getting Julia all excited. She had never seen the hiding place, they had told her about it but there had never really been an occasion for her to come over.
"Heck yeah, I wanna see the guys secret lair!" she exclaimed, not caring that she sounded like Ria at the moment. It made the rest of the gang laugh at her child-like enthusiasm.
"Okay then," Throttle said, after his laughter died down, "so Charlie and Julia get the movies and we get the root beer and popcorn-"
"And soda!" Julia interrupted, Throttle looked over at her for a second, then continued "-and soda, and we'll meet at the scoreboard? You show her the way Charlie girl?" Throttle asked.
"Sure, truck or bike Julia?" Charlie turned to the brunette who just a bit to quick said "Truck!".
Seeing how the others looked at her, she knew she had messed up a little, so she tried to save it.
"I...just wanna let Charlie hear the noises that Betsy is making...so she, can figure out why"
Julia said, finding it to be a believable reason since they all knew about the deal the two females had made.
"Oh, okay" Charlie said, looking a bit confused as to what just happened "Guess we'll take the truck, just let me lock up the garage".
Julia let out a discrete sigh, thankful that they hadn't asked into her odd behavior. On the other hand, why didn't she want them to find out about her fear of riding motorbikes?
She was pretty sure none of them would ridicule her for it...okay maybe Vinnie would tease her a bit, but nothing serious. Was she ashamed? Ashamed that she was letting her fear of ending up like her dad keep her from doing something she loved? Julia decided that was probably it.
It was shame, not only to them but also her dad. Would he be disappointed in his little girl if he could see her? It made her heart clench just a tiny bit, dead or alive, she didn't want to be a disappointment. Not to her dad at least, for her mother and sister she had always been one.
"Sure thing beautiful, we'll meet at the lair and prepare" Vinnie said, grinning wide enough for Julia to see his front teeth.
"Yeah, like cleaning up your mess" Modo laughed, punching Vinnie on the shoulder in a brotherly manner. Vinnie protested as usual.
It took nearly fifteen minutes for Charlie and Julia to send the guys on their way, after Vinnie made sure they knew what kind of movies they should rent. While Charlie closed the shop down, Julia went to the office and disconnected her laptop from the ancient computer. Making sure to close everything down correctly so she wouldn't have any more problems the following day. She really didn't need more to hassle with on the stupid computer.
"Hey are you ready?" Charlie yelled from the door. Julia looked up, then around to check if she got everything. She had. "Yep, all set, now let's go rent some action flicks" she cheered.
In order not to blow her cover, Julia let Charlie drive Betsy down to the nearest video-renting place, and as Julia had predicted and almost hoped for, the roaring of Betsy's starting scared the heck out of Charlie, who in turn, seeing the brunettes grinning smile, punched her in the arm playfully.
They were quick at the store, they got the action flicks and Julia bought some sodas in case the guys only had root beer. On the way to the scoreboard Julia was behind the steering wheel, so she would learn the route, Charlie had said. Julia suspected the mechanic for using it as an excuse not to drive the ragged truck, that had something of a temper if you didn't treat her nicely.
The stadium was deserted, making it look creepy in the evening sun. Somehow, the guys had managed to fix the outside of the board. So it didn't have a gigantic hole right into their lair.
Julia parked her car in a form of shed that was well hidden, together with the Martians bikes, then following Charlie up some stairs that led to the board.
She hadn't really been sure what to expect from the mice's 'home', probably a mess with a crashed spacecraft and maybe three hammocks hanging from the ceiling.
What she hadn't expected was walking into something that almost looked like a normal living room, decorated by young, single guys. The furniture, that consisted of two smaller couches and a broad armchair, was all in horrible, mismatching colors. One couch was green, the other a faded yellow and the armchair was a striped mix between red and purple. They all were placed to face the not that large TV that stood on a brown table that had a lot of spots from spilled things.
Standing in the middle was a simple sofa table, in about the same shape as the one the TV was on, it had multiple spots from drinks and spilled food. On the walls, hanging at random, there were motorbike posters which were wrinkled and a little torn.
Even more surprised was she to see that there seemed to be more rooms in the hideout, doors that looked like they had come from a junk yard (which they probably did) were in the 'walls', presumably to other rooms.
'How the heck did they manage to turn the inside of a scoreboard, to an almost normal looking apartment?' Julia wondered in awe. The place in itself was nothing spectacular but knowing where she was, it was damn impressive.
In that moment, Vinnie decided to pop up, almost shouting in the two women faces "Hey you're here!"
Scaring the crap out of Julia. She almost swung her arm, adding another bump to the one that was slowly diminishing, it still had a purple color on it.
"Jesus Vinnie!" Julia exclaimed, trying to slow her heartbeat to normal speed.
Although Julia had stopped herself from smacking the young mouse, Charlie didn't think twice about punching Vinnie, hard, in the arm. To Julia's amusement, he actually flinched and began rubbing the spot Charlie had punched.
"What was that for?!" he asked loudly, not understanding why the two females were glaring at him.
"For scaring me and Julia?" Charlie answered, arms crossed over her chest. Because of the heat, Charlie had left her usual attire of long sleeved shirt and working pants in the shop, switching it out with a red tank top and shorts that went to above her knees.
Before Vinnie could answer, or whine, Modo and Throttle appeared in their normal clothing,
'Do they ever wear anything else? Where do they wash their clothes...DO they wash their clothes?' her useless mind thought.
They were both chuckling and Modo said, "Heard Julia ma'am scream,"
"Thought we would come and check if Vinnie had gotten a matching bulge" Throttle finished, grinning at his younger bro. Julia was pretty certain that the two of them would never let Vinnie forget how she managed to sock him, they would remind him every time he was acting too macho. Or just to annoy him.
"Nope," Julia said, popping the last part "I didn't bring any kitchenware with me today, sorry to disappoint" she smiled wickedly, as if that had been the case, poor Vinnie would have been sprawled out on the floor. Of course she wouldn't do it, the beatings of the white furred mouse she left to the mechanic since it seemed it was her way of showing affection.
In the past week, Julia had noticed how the bickering between Vinnie and Charlie was deeper in a way. Perhaps Charlie's sassy and sarcastic remarks or physical communication towards Vinnie; was her way of dealing with feelings she might not even realize she had for the younger alien. Julia had decided to leave them alone and not to meddle, they would come around at their own pace.
The sane or logical part of her mind, which she hadn't had much use for lately, made her think of how odd the situation was. Not just the Martians, but more the fact how easily she accepted it all.
Like the morning she had cooked breakfast for Throttle and herself, she wondered why she was so calm and collected. The fact that there was intelligent life on Mars was the easiest thing comprehend, the proof was right in front of her. Then there was the whole Limburger thing, something that she almost found to answer a lot of questions about the city's, so called leading industrialist. No, it was her complete acceptance of a possible romantic relationship between a human woman, and a six foot anthropomorphic mouse from Mars, she found surprising.
It was not that she was disgusted with the guys, quite the opposite actually.
Vinnie was like a hyper, loud and sometimes very annoying brother.
Modo, who she had found was the most gentle of the three, acted like a funny and kind uncle.
Throttle, whom she was closest with, was her best friend (not counting Ria or Will, especially Ria). He knew how to make her laugh and never missed an opportunity to do so.
But the logically part of her brain kept nagging her with; should she really be this quick to accept all of these changes and bizarre turn of events. In the end, her only conclusion was; 'I'm very adaptable'. She thought for a second, then added 'Or Ria's craziness with aliens has left me unable to be shocked over anything anymore'.
She had no idea which one it was, and she didn't get to think more about it, as Throttle's voice disrupted her flow of thoughts and questioning of her own mind and sanity.
"Sorry Julia, but we have no sodas" he apologized "Not the thing we drink the most ".
Julia waved him off "Don't worry" and held out the two bottles, one with dark liquid and one with red and said "I got it covered, I figured that you probably didn't have any".
"Very resourceful" he commented in a humorous manner. She grinned at him "Always come prepared, that's my motto" she joked, a joke Vinnie didn't get fully.
"It is?" he asked, Julia looked at him, instead of just unraveling the truth she decided to play some more. "That, and never eat yellow snow", this earned a laughter from everybody in the room.
After about ten minutes they were all settled in the mismatching furniture.
Vinnie and Charlie were settled on the yellow couch, after much bickering of course, like Vinnie taking up too much space, him commenting that she could sit on his lap, ending in Charlie punching him in the exact same spot as before.
Modo had taken the armchair, placing his crossed feet, up on the table where there stood some bottles of root beer and Julia's sodas together with a big bowl of popcorn.
Another thing that had shocked the hell out of the brunette. The guys had a kitchen!
Not like her own, it was small but it had what a kitchen needed; a fridge that had a freezer inside of it, a stove, cabinets and room to move and cook. It was just as varying in colors as the 'living room', it was mix between brown, gray, blue and green. This brought out a bunch of new questions; how did they get all this stuff? The junkyard? How did they get it up? And what about the beer and what other edible or drinkable items they had, how did they get them? Again, Julia couldn't exactly imagine the three of them, strolling into a grocery store to buy some root beer.
But as she had done the past week, she simply pushed those thoughts and questions aside, deciding that if she was gonna point out every odd and weird thing, it was gonna give her a headache each time.
She herself had plopped down on the green couch, pulling her leg up under her and leaned against the armrest of the couch. Throttle sat beside Julia, after putting the movie in the machine, and copied Modo by putting his feet on the table.
"You are so never doing that at my house" Julia whispered with a mixture of both playfulness and seriousness in the tone. All it did was make him smile at her, "Better do what the lady says".
They both chuckled as Vinnie told them to shut up, the movie was beginning.
It was a very basic action movie, there were a lot of fight scenes and also a couple of car chase scenes. Julia did enjoy it, but probably not as much as Vinnie who actually yelled at the TV screen, coming up with helpful advice for the hero that was trying to shake his followers off.
Outside it began to darken, the last rays of sun were slowly disappearing from the evening sky as it was replaced with a dark blue color. Julia felt how her body became sluggish, her eyes droopy. It was gradually becoming harder for her to keep them open, through the second movie, she decided to close them.
'Just for a moment, I'll just close them for a moment' was what she was telling herself, of course it was a complete lie, even if she wasn't aware of it. Almost as soon as her eyelids shut, a comfortable and lazy darkness surrounded her. The last thing she noticed, was her head leaning against something warm and fuzzy, then she fell into a deep sleep.
It had surprised Throttle when he felt the sudden pressure on his shoulder, he looked down and saw a mess of brown hair, covering Julia's face. She had, through the first movie, let her hair down, complaining that her scalp was hurting from the tight binding. He quickly deduced by her slow breathing, closed eyes and slightly parted lips, that she was asleep.
It reminded him of the first time he saw her, back at her house in the guest room. A whole night she had slept on a couch, in order to be near him in case his injuries would worsen.
Her hair had been a mess back then too, it was not often the young computer technician wore her hear open. Her explanation was that it got in way, plus with the heat wave rolling in Chicago at the moment, the hair added an extra layer of warmth, that she certainly did not need.
Throttle joked about him being covered in fur, and that she had no right to complain. Her response had been to cross her arms and stick her tongue out.
"Seems like she's out" Charlie whispered from his side, Throttle looked up and saw the mechanic with a new bowl of popcorn in her hands. Then he returned his eyes to the woman on his shoulder, nodded and said "Yeah, wonder what made her so tired".
"Fighting with my computer probably" she grinned "also, she told me that she had to stay up really late last night, because some jerk face suddenly moved up the deadline on his website, so she stayed up half the night so it would be finished today".
That did explain her tiredness, even thought it first had kicked in doing the movies.
He guessed it was because of the dim light, that she didn't have to think or move, and the fact that it was late evening. At the present moment, he wouldn't be surprised if she could sleep through an intergalactic invasion of Plutarkians.
"Looks like I'm stuck here" Charlie sighed before walking over to sit beside Vinnie, who immediately grabbed a handful of popcorn which earned him a small punch from the female beside him.
She wasn't really stuck, she could ask Vinnie for a ride home but Throttle suspected she was a bit too tired and also, secretly wanted to spend some more time with the adrenaline junkie of a mouse.
Throttle didn't have the heart to wake the sleeping female, so he let her sleep on his shoulder until the movie ended and the only ones awake were now Throttle, though he was very close to joining the others, and Modo.
Vinnie and Charlie had both passed out on the yellow couch, leaning on each other in much the same fashion as him and Julia. When Modo glanced at them he chuckled and said "They look pretty peaceful, ya know, when they ain't bickering".
Throttle chuckled in agreement, then turned his eyes to the brunette. Modo's eyes followed his.
"Out like a light" the gray giant's tone was much like a caring uncle, and Throttle knew that with almost certainty, that it was pretty much the feelings the gentle giant held for the woman.
"Yeah, I better let her sleep. I'm taking the couch after I put her to bed" Throttle said, beginning to move slowly in effort not to wake her up.
"Yeah, see ya in the morning bro" Modo responded and walked to his own room, after turning off the TV.
Throttle scooped Julia up, putting one arm around her upper back and the other under her knees in a bridal style manner. He pushed the door to his room open with his foot, turning a bit so Julia's head wouldn't crash with the panel of the door. That probably wouldn't be the best way to wake the brunette up. Gently, again not to wake her, he placed her on his bed and she immediately started to snuggle herself down in the mattress like a little kid. Chuckling very low, he grabbed the blanket that he had kicked off the same morning and covered her with it. She curled up in it, letting out a deep sigh of contempt. He smiled, pushing some locks of her hair away, before leaving the room and returned to the couch. It wasn't long enough to fit his entire form, so his legs were sticking out over the armrest, but it didn't really bother him. He just folded his arms behind him and leaned backwards. Closing his eyes he soon felt sleep take him over, as it had done with his fellow mates.
His last thought was,'Wonder if Julia will make us breakfast when she wakes up?'
!~IMPORTANT MESSAGE~!
So do anyone remember Julia talking about a bet she made with her best friend Ria in Chapter 2 I think? Well, the thing is, I haven't actually thought about what the bet should be 0_o So I wanted to hear your ideas. Think about Julia's character up until now and I will say already, it will not be anything about her running around naked okay! But Ria will probably appear soon so I am in need of a good, funny, clever idea for the bet. You can write it in a review or in a PM (private message) and I will look at it^^
Back to the usual, how was the chapter? It was only some filler and a little bit of fluff since I don't wanna have the romance between Throttle and Julia to happen instantly.
So Please review and write me an idea for the bet and I will update as soon as I can^^
