Light vs. Dark Once More

Chapter 7: Introducing the Girls

Jasmine's Point Of View:

Okay, nothing hard or complicated. I just gotta introduce Tiffany, Snowy and Violet to everyone and tell them about the Gem. Easy.

"Hey guys! We found the third Gem of Darkness!" I announced.

"Great!" Otto runs up to put it away with the other one.

"And we also got some more allies on our side." I added.

"Say what?" Chiro asked.

"What you heard!" I retorted.

"Meet the new dames." Mikey did a TV host movement.

"Dames?" Violet asked, angrily.

"That's so like you Mikey. Already trying to get killed by someone you just met." Raphie retorted, although I could see a spark in his eyes, about being glad that Mikey is more or less his old self. (Even if it annoys us to hell.) I still don't get how Sora can stand it.

"Before we end up with a dead turtle here, meet the three girls, sisters, and guardians of the Ruby Flame: eldest, Violet." I sort of announce. Violet comes from behind with her bazooka on her back, looking threateningly.

"Hey everyone." Violet greets, looking nice.

"Second eldest of the sisters: Snowy." I said and Snowy came out.

"Hello, nice to meet you." Snowy smiled at them.

"The youngest of the sisters: Tiffany." I announce and Tiff comes out.

"Hey. You don't harm plants, do you?" Tiffany asked, seriously.

"And these are the Hyper Force and their allies." Then I started to point and name each one of them.

Otto's Point Of View:

Wow. Tiffany looks cute! I wonder what she likes. Maybe we could hang out! I feel fuzzy! She likes plants. Hmm. Maybe she's also a vegetarian?

Gibson's Point Of View:

Snowy seems to be an interesting person, er, monkey. Second of age, sympathetically nice and…why am I thinking like this? Is that a first impression these girls put on?

Antauri's Point Of View:

New allies and guardians of one of the Gems of Darkness. It's a good thing there are such, but why was there none in the temple on Hexis? Maybe there were only when they came those guardians…perished. Those could have been their skeletons.

Those thoughts away, the girls could be a very good help. I'm just glad that they decided to join us and not fight against us.

Why is Violet giving me a bit of an overheating feeling? Maybe it's just me.

Jasmine's Point Of View:

Looks like I introduced everyone to the girls… hey, why are three particular single monkeys looking at the girls with some interest? I guess I should say that the word that works here is single. Oh no, they're not, but it could be. New love! So cute!

"I think now I'll go try to translate the next location." I walk over to the picture of the stone and start reading the next shining words.

"'Once… upon a time… the planet of… water's… tides were… pure, but… the rage for the Gem… of Power caused… darkness to befall… the planet. No longer a… place to live safely or… peacefully, the… lock of evil… gem waits for… the hands of dark… or light to take it… from its infecting grounds." I translated.

"What planet is that?" Leo asked.

"Mizuno!" Tiffany, Violet and Snowy exclaimed at the same time.

"Mizuno?" Gibson asked.

"A planet of water! It's Mizuno!" Tiffany said.

"Are you sure?" Nova asked.

"Positive. Also, we got some friends on Mizuno, also guardians of that gem." Violet stated.

"Talk about good news." Sprx said.

"Which way is Mizuno?" Antauri asked.

"We can show you," Snowy said.

"So cool, I haven't met them in a while. This should be great!" Tiffany said.

"What do you like to do in your free time?" Otto asked.

"I love to take care of plants and I can tell you anything about any planet you want to know." Tiffany proudly declared.

"Cool. I know almost everything about machines." Otto tells her.

"You're kind of cute." Tiffany says, making him blush a bit. I think I have a Couple-Forming Sense, which is tingling.

"Some of your medicine is a little expired." Snowy notices some things in Gibson's lab.

"What do you mean?" Gibson asked.

"See this? They are a little over date and they won't do their job good." Snowy tells him and shows him some jars.

"Oh dear, how did I not notice this?" Gibson looks over the things.

"Don't worry. I can help out with this." Snowy said.

"Really?" Gibson asked.

"Yup. I'm Doctor or Medical Officer," Snowy states.

"That would be great." Gibson said.

"With what do we start?" Snowy looks over some more jars, after passing Gibson, making him turn blue with a blush.

I think I've seen enough. Maybe I should do it. Or maybe not? Or maybe should? I don't know. I will.

Few minutes later, the only official couples on this robot are now in one spot with no one else.

"What's this about?" Raphie asks.

"Don't tell me I'm the only one who noticed it." I said.

"Noticed what?" Sprx asked.

"About Gibson and Snowy, Otto and Tiffany, Antauri and Violet. I can't be the only one who saw that." I make it a bit clearer.

"The fact that they turned a bit red when the girls came near?" Nova guessed.

"Bingo." I said.

"And what about it?" Jinmay asked.

"Let's just say, I want to make a bet with you guys. Couple vs. couple," I clearly state.

"Why isn't Sora and Mikey in this?" Chiro asked.

"Sora has amnesia and I doubt Mikey would force her to join this." I state.

"This is a bet on which pair will officially get together first." I add.

"A bet on love, huh? I'm in." Raphie says. Having nothing better to do, Chiro and Jinmay, Nova and Sprx agreed.

"Rules: No pushing or speeding up any couple activity; no mixing up any couple moments, unless during an attack, but even then on, better no touching. That's about it." I think quickly over. Agreeing on these terms the bets are:

Chiro and Jinmay – Antauri & Violet;

Sprx and Nova - Otto & Tiffany;

Me and Raphie – Gibson & Snowy. (Someone has to bet on the braincases)

"Bets are set, let the best couple win." The bet is on.

Hey everyone! Hope you liked this! I tried. The bet came as a last minute thought.

Do you have a bet? If so, join in! Readers are allowed to work solo.
