Part 2: In This Bright Future You Can't Forget Your Past
Chapter 7: Snooping Time
Author's Note: Hey guys I'm back! This is the first chapter of part two. I'm super excited about this part… I hope it's a little less dramatic and more humorous than the last part. Sorry it took so long for an update. My homework load is incredible, it's like my teachers can't think of anything better to do. But I got this up, so enjoy:)
Dedication: This for In An Amethyst Flash. Her birthday was earlier this week and she writes "Prompts of TUp." It's really good:) So Happy Belated Birthday, Amethyst Flash, this one's for you!
Disclaimer: Why do I need to do this? The site is FAN Fiction and clearly says FAN in the title! I also do not own the title for part two… it's a Bob Marley quote.
Taz had been out of the hospital for two weeks and the team was finally starting to leave her alone. Well actually she had begged Up to put them on all day activities, so there they stood in a line in front of him as he assigned them to one.
"Specs, you are going to be in the science lab. They are having a few classes that they need help teaching." He said standing in front of her. She saluted him and Up took a step to the left to be in front of Bug.
"Bug, you will head to the sky deck. They need help polishing the wood floor for the upcoming ball. Turns out something in your slime makes the floors perfect for dancing but it takes a few weeks to settle so that is why they are doing it today." February squealed with happiness at this. She was super excited for the annual Ranger Ball.
"Tootsie, you'll be in the Nature Garden helping them plant. They were having trouble identifying some things, so you will also help with that." He then side stepped to be in front of Megagirl.
"You will be getting a check up, Megagirl. First report to the armory for new weapons, when that is done look and see where you need to go next." He handed her a clipboard with a list of places she needed to go and things she needed checked.
He then moved onto February and Krayonder. He sighed before announcing what they were to do. They had been the hardest to assign an activity, because each one he and Taz thought of took either 5 minutes or was easy for them to mess up. After hours of a brainstorming, they finally came up with something that wouldn't cause too much damage.
"Krayonder, you and February will be on Inspection. No one knows if they are getting inspected, so if someone is not in their room, use the override card to get into their room. Then leave a note on the door to tell them if they passed or not. The key only has the passwords of people who are on the list. Here is the list of rooms you will inspect, the check list, and the override card." Up said as he handed them the items he had just mentioned. He the saluted them and the crew saluted back and went off to their activities.

"So whose room are we going to next?" Krayonder said has he and February walked out of the Ensign hall.
"Commander Up." She said with a surprised look on her face.
"He probably already knew he was on the list, so why do we even have to check? Krayonder asked. They walked down the Commander hall anyways.
They stood outside Up's door debating whether to go in for inspection.
"Maybe he made his room really messy and he's testing us to see if we are actually checking everyone's rooms. Yah know, cause if we pass him and its really messy and we didn't even go in, he'll know." Krayonder said wringing his hat in his hands.
"Krayonder! Let's just go in and check then. Ok?" February went to swipe the card, but stopped with her hand hovering inches above the card swipe. "Do you hear music? Like, coming from inside his room?"
He put his ear to the door and listened for a minute. He nodded as he removed the side of his face from the door. February put the card away and knocked on the door.
"Damn it!" came from the room. There was a lot of shuffling and banging around also coming through the door.
"Oh my dead God! What if we just interrupted Up and Jessica doing something?" February whisper yelled.
"We- we can… come back!" Krayonder yelled at the door.
They started to shuffle away when the door opened.
"You guys don't have to do that. I just lost track of time and now I'm late to my meeting." Up said coming out into the hall.
"February and I will just look at your room and then we'll go." Krayonder announced.
Up flashed a thumbs up as he ran down the hall and February and Krayonder slowly walked into his room. They looked around the Commander's quarters and then looked at each other.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" February asked with a mischievous look on her face.
"That his bed looks super fun to jump on?" Krayonder replied with an equally mischievous look.
"Nooooo." She sighed, shaking her head. Then the grin was back and she said, "We should snoop around his room! We know he won't be back for a while, it's not like he'll walk in on us."
"Fine… Can we jump on his bed later?" Krayonder pulled a puppy dog face on her.
"Don't pull that on me! You think I'm gonna say no to jumping on a bed?"
They began searching; Krayonder looked in the desk and February looked at the pictures on the dresser. Krayonder pulled a book out of the bottom drawer and called February over.
"We need to get Megagirl in here. There are 7 other scrapbooks in that drawer and it'll take us a while to get through all of them. Megagirl can make copies of them and then we can read them on our own time." Krayonder explained.
February went off to call Megagirl and Krayonder went over to the TV cabinet, which was cracked open. He pulled open the door and out tumbled a DVD holder. It was filled from front to back with DVDs except for one slot in the middle. He looked in the DVD player and found the missing DVD.
"So this was what caused all the banging. He was trying to put it away quickly." He thought out loud.
"Ok, she's on her way. What are you looking at?" February asked as she walked back over to Krayonder.
"Megagirl can copy DVDs, right?"
"You're asking me?" She gave him a confused look.
There was a knock on the door and February ran off to go answer it. She came back in with Megagirl in tow.
"For what service do you need me?"
"Can you copy these books and DVDs?" Krayonder asked.
"Why yes that should be quite simple." Was her response.
February and Krayonder jumped on Up's bed as Megagirl copied the stuff they found.
"Copying complete." Megagirl announced.
"Cool, so let's give him his grade and then get the heck out of here." Krayonder said, grabbing the clipboard off the dresser.

"So you just took his stuff?" Specs asked with a shocked look on her face.
It was after dinner and the whole crew, minus Taz and Up, was stuffed in Specs room. She was the only one with a TV, no one knew why though.
"No we made copies of all the original stuff." Krayonder explained.
"Do you guys even know what's on these?" Bug asked, picking up a DVD.
"Nope." February said with a smile.
"We wanted to watch them with you guys." Krayonder put in.
"Then let's get started!" Bug cheered.
Megagirl inserted the first disk and the screen immediately was filled with brown dirt. It pulled up and a girl about 14 years old was shown. She was wearing a flowy blue shirt, Miss Me jeans, and silver, sparkly Toms and her brown, slightly wavy hair was down her back.
"OmideadGod! That is the cutest outfit ever! Whoever that is has major style and is really pretty." February cried.
The girl the camera was focused on, began to speak in Spanish. There were subtitles at the bottom of the screen, so the team could understand.
"Jose, is it filming?" She asked the person behind the camera.
"Yes, look de red light is on." Jose, the person behind the camera, answered.
"Are jou sure?" She asked again.
"Yes! Now answer de question or I'm going to start dinking jour avoiding answering it." His accent matching hers.
"We are at de basebol field." She said with a bit of sass in her voice.
"I bet that's Taz's sister and brother." Krayonder said with smugness.
"What would they be doing at a baseball field?" Specs asked her boyfriend.
"Watching Taz play baseball, duh!"
"Why are we at de basebol field?" Jose asked her.
"To watch Alejandro play basebol, dumbass!" She yelled at him.
"Who is Alejandro? One of jour many admirers?" He teased.
"Our brother! Why didn't jou just do dis video jourself if jour just going to ask me stupid questions?"
"It's more fun to annoy jou." A chuckle came from behind the camera.
"Well if jour done with dat, I'll just be leaving." The still unnamed girl, turned on her heel.
"Jou promised to do the commentary! Jou never go back on a promise, right?" Jose called after her.
"Jou are one lucky son of a-" she waggled her finger at him.
"Language, Taziana!"
"Mama isn't even here!"
"Whatever, just go and save our seats. I have to wait for mama." You could hear the smirk in his voice.
Taziana turned and started to walk up the stadium stairs. All the boys in the room were looking at her butt. She turned around when she was up about five steps.
"Jose! Jou want me to wave when I get up dere so jou can see where to bring mama, right?" she called down.
"Yep! Thanks again for agreeing to do de commentary, Taz!"
"THAT WAS TAZ?" the group yelled in unison.
Yes, I know not the best but I wanted to get things started right away. Right now I have no idea when I'm going to be updating because I'm like crazy busy. I will update sooner if I get more reviews. Or have less homework, but that probably won't happen. Anyways, next chapter will have Taz in it and more of these videos and the scrapbooks:) I also realize that since they are in Mexico they should probably be at soccer game, but what I have planned for a future chapter won't work with soccer. If you have questions about anything, do not be afraid to ask. I love it when people get into the story.
