Super Robot, Orion Arm Outer Space

January 26, 2001

10:28 AM

The Hyperforce and Team Elemental were gathered around the dining table partaking in a morning breakfast. Xavier blabbering about one of his nightmares that he had the night before.

"But it's like, the giraffe never blinked! Not even when I almost punched him in the face!" Xavier's eyes were wide. "I couldn't believe it! So I went to the pope-"

"I'm gonna stop you right their, Xavier." Adrassi said. "You aren't Catholic so why would you go to the pope?" The brown monkey didn't answer.

"Gibson put that book away. We're at the table having . . . family time." Savanna said eying the leather journal in her boyfriends hands.

"I'm trying to locate our upcoming destination." he mumbled, not taking his eyes off the pages of the thing. He whispered to himself. "Malou planetu. Neobydlené."

"What?" Sparx asked.

"It says, 'Left side of the Orion arm. That it's a small Planet and is uninhabited.' So it probably does not have a certain title like the one the jasper stone was on."

"That planet could be anywhere. Later this after noon, Gibson, I want you to do some research of all the uninhabited planets in the Orion arm, okay?" Antauri said. Gibson opened his mouth to answer.

"I can help!" Savanna chirped. Nova smiled.

"Of course you can."

"What is the next gem anyway?" Sparx questioned.

"Safír." Gibson said. "Do you know what that means?" Sparx grumbled, laying back in his seat somewhat.

"Um. I'm gonna take a wild guess," Sparx flicked his hand in irritation. "Sapphire?" Gibson smiled.

"Very good, Sparx. Gold star for you." Sparx rolled his eyes and growled.

"Sapphire," Savanna pondered on the word for a moment. "I like the way that sounds, sapphire. It sounds like, 'Saf' and 'Fire'. It just has sort of a ring to it." She looked at Adrassi. "Wouldn't that be a nice name for my first daughter." Gibson choked on the coffee he was drinking and spit the brown substance out, and almost fell out of his seat. This, obviously, grabbed everyone's attention. Once Gibson caught his breath he looked at the people staring at him with wide eyes.

"Sorry," He choked. "I-I guess the coffee went down the wrong-" he stopped and started panting. "Um. Excuse me." he stood up and ran out of the room. Now everyone turned their attention towards Savanna.

"Way to go. You totally scared the living crap out of him." Xavier said getting in her face.

"I was just saying that would be a good name for my first daughter!" She defended herself. "Didn't think he'd have a panic attack."

Three Hours Later

Gibson came into the command center where everyone was waiting for him.

"Planet Shoowan." He said. "Turns out this uninhabited planet has a name after all." He went to the giant computer and typed in the coordinates to the planet and hit the auto pilot button. "We'll be there in four days. It will only take a few hours to get to the Light Stream so be prepared to hear an announcement saying we're going to enter the stream later on." The others nodded.

"YA-EE!" Otto cheered. The teams looked at him.

"What was that?" Adrassi chuckled. Otto shrugged.

"Is it a crime to be excited for no reason?" He sassed.

"It sounded like the beginning of 'Icky Thump' the way you said it." Gibson observed.

"That's what I was intending to do. Thank you!" Otto started to singing and exit the room at the same time.

"What's Icky Thump?" Adrassi asked.

"Don't ask!" Antauri shrieked. Nova laughed manically.

"She said it, Antauri! Now you have to sing it! Remember what happened last time you refused to sing it?" The silver simian sighed.

"Yah-ee. Icky Thump, who'd a thunk, sitting drunk on a wagon to Mexico." He mumbled.

"Sing it louder, more emotion!" Sparx snapped. "From the top!"

"Yah-ee! Icky Thump, who'd a thunk, sitting drunk on a wagon to Mexico! Ah well! What a chump! Well my head got a bump when I hit it on the radio! Can I stop now?" He begged.

"Absolutely not!" Gibson grinned evilly. Antauri groaned.

"Redhead Señorita, looking dead, came and said, 'Need a bed' en Español! I said, 'Gimme a drink of water, and I'll 'sing around the collar' And I don't need a microphone!' Icky thump, with a lump-"

"Okay, okay. You can stop!" Nova was practically rolling on the ground with laughter as were the others.

"What was that all about?" Gabriel asked.

"It's an inside joke. Something that happened a long time ago." Sparx said through gasps of breath.

"Are you gonna let us in on it?" Xavier asked.

"Ah! You guys would think we're weird if we did that!" Chiro slapped his knee. "My gosh! You sing like an angel, Antauri!" Chiro joked. Otto came running into the room.

"He sung it?" He asked in bewilderment.

"You missed it, Otto!" Sparx put a hand on his head. "It was hilarious!" Otto pouted.

"Darn." The green monkey trudged out of the room again, head hung lowly. Adrassi shook her head.

"I'll never understand you, Hyperforce." She said calmly walking out of the room as well.
