Hello let's just start already! Sorry for taking so long. I have a poll for a new story up on my profile, so PLEASE go check that out and vote! I AM NOT DROPPING ANY OF MY STORIES! If you sent me an idea, thank you but I know where I'm going, so go ahead and write your idea yourself! Trust me, it's awesome to have people review and read your story.
Okay, now let's get started!
-Brick's P.O.V.-
I woke up and turned over. The clock read 8. School starts at 7:30. 'Oh well. None of us are in good enough shape to go to school anyway. My wrist...'I looked at it. And it was... fine?
I sat up. Something weird is definitely going on. I moved my wrist around. It was a little sore, but not majorly broken or anything. Whatever's going on, it healed me. I looked around and saw a note on the end of my bed. I picked it up and read it.
Brick,
You had a broken wrist. And a wound on your left side that you didn't notice. I almost forgot to heal it. I hope you're feeling better soon. Don't tell any of my sisters about this, they'd kill me. Literally. Until our next fight.
~B. (heh heh, no telling you who!)
Who the hell is 'B.'? It could be any one of the 6 girls! Not Buttercup, or Bliss. Bunny wouldn't care enough, she's way in la la land. That leaves Blossom, Blaze, and Bubbles. I've heard them talking, and Blossom doesn't have healing powers.
So Blaze or Bubbles, huh? I walked out of the room and saw the edge of a Puff's skirt go out the window. I ran over. Blaze was there. She turned around, saw me, and moved her wrist around while tilting her head. I moved my wrist too.
'What is she?..'She smiled at me and flew away, but slower than during our fight. So now I know who did it, I want to know why.
"So she did it." Brandon said. He obviously came while I was thinking.
"Yeah, I think so. That must be why she's tired." I said.
"I kind of feel like...she's trying to help us."
"Why?"
"She told me where to find Burn after the battle, and she marked the box so I could find it. Otherwise Burn might still be there."
"How is Burn?"
"Out cold. He won't wake up for a while. But all his wounds have closed, no broken bones, nothing. Only bruises. Boomer still has a cold. Bear stopped muttering about plants, and Butch is fully healed except for bruises. My burn is scaring, I think, but its better than before." Brandon said.
"Good." I said, still staring out the window. I saw Blaze, who was almost out of my sight, crumple in half, coughing, and begin to fall. My eyes widened, but Bliss showed up and caught her. She looked at me, nodded, and flew off with Blaze.
"I just don't get it..." I mumbled.
"None of us do. None of us do..." Brandon patted my back, then walked off.
-Bliss' P.O.V.-
"Just how much of an idiot are you?" I said, shaking my head.
"A pretty *huff* big one, *huff* probably. I tried to *huff* heal them *huff* all *huff* in one *huff* trip." She breathed in and out as she talked.
"You're staying home."
"*huff* okay"
I put her in her room and flew back to school. I untransformed on the roof of school and ran to 2nd period. I was late, but I didn't care. At least I helped Blaze, if even a little bit.
-Usagi's P.O.V.-
'Rainbows, lollipops, and smiley faces, la la la la...'I sang in my head as I did my work. People say that my head's way up in the clouds somewhere, and that if I brought it down, I'd be really smart. But I'm smart enough as is, and I like floating above everything else. My problems don't exist up here. I can be as happy as I need, and I'm too far up for clouds to reach me and rain on my parade.
'I wonder where Mio is...'Then Kyoko came into the room. She talked to the teacher then took her seat behind me.
"Where's Mio?" I asked.
"Sick." She replied, working
"Oh. OK." I turned around and started daydreaming again, since I was done with my work.
My mind drifted to Masaru. 'I wonder why he isn't here today... Sensei told us the boys were sick, but that doesn't feel like the answer...I'll ask Blossom. She probably knows.'I decided to ask Blossom at lunch. I gazed out the window again, content with my plan of action.
-Momoko's P.O.V.-
When Kyoko told me that the RRB were actually the new boys, I was shocked. I decided to wait for a while before telling the others. But that plan failed miserably at lunch.
"Hey Momo." Usagi said.
"What's up?" I asked, getting my books from my locker.
"Where are the boys?"
"Didn't you hear the sensei? They're sick." I said, trying to remain calm.
"Yeah, but all at the same time? It doesn't seem very...likely. My gut's telling me that that's not the answer." She said. I forgot that she's not as easily tricked as Bubbles. She's actually got a sensible mind, it's just floating somewhere around Mars.
"I don't know."
"You're a terrible liar, Momo-chan."
I couldn't think of anything, so I just ran. If I could make it to the library, then I'm home free. I'll just avoid her for the rest of the day, and...
I forgot I'm running from the fastest person in this school.
Usagi tackled me on the field. I was breathing heavy. She stood up.
"Got you, Momo! Now tell!" Usagi helped me up.
"Fine, fine. Get the others." I stood up and started to get my books. "Meet in the library at our place."
"Okay!" Usagi sang, then ran off.
I sighed. Usagi trusts people too easily. I could've just walked away and not shown up. But I'll tell. I have to eventually, so why not now?
I walked to the library, catching my breath as I did so. Then I saw Brick floating by some bushes. My eyes widened and I spoke before I thought, which is bad habit of mine.
"Akira?" I said loudly, then slapped my hand over my mouth.
"Hm?" Brick turned around and saw me. He raised an eyebrow. "My name's Brick, not Akira."
"Ah, um, yeah, I just... thought you were someone else. Never mind." I stuttered, still wide-eyed.
"Really? Even with the floating?" He flew really close and was about an inch from my face. I remembered what Mio's advice when handling people who were trying to get to you. 'Act as tough and uninterested as much as possible. Alter your cover to fit the situation. Make them uncomfortable so you can escape. Collapse either physically or emotionally once you're either alone, safe, or both.'She had a rough childhood, and that's as much as she'll tell us about her past.
"I guess I wasn't paying attention. Now, if you excuse me, I have to go meet someone." I pushed him away with narrowed eyes and turned on my heel to leave.
"One of your sisters?" His voice asked from behind me.
I took a deep breath as quietly as possible. "How do you know I have any sisters? I've never even met you before." I faced him, cocking an eyebrow. He looked shocked for a moment, then composed himself. 'Bingo.'
"Just a guess."
"Really? You sounded pretty sure of your 'guess'there." I leaned forward.
"I gotta go."
"Really? Great, I do too." I turned and left quickly, trying not to look like I was running away.
"Wait."
"What now-" I was interrupted by his lips on mine. Again.
"See ya, sweetie." He smirked and flew off.
"I HOPE I NEVER SEE YOU AGAIN!" I yelled at him. Blushing madly, I turned and stalked towards the library. Some part of my brain I don't like decided to speak up.
'You know that's not true, what you just said.'
'Oh, shut up.'
'He kinda tastes like cherries...'
'SHUT YOUR LITTLE MENTAL MOUTH AND RETREAT TO THE BACK OF MY HEAD! I SO DON'T LIKE HIM!'
'I know you don't like him.'
'Finally!'
'You lovehim.'
'NO! NONONONONO! NOOOOOOOO! NO!' I yelled in my head. I was inside the shelves of the library now, hidden from public eye.
'Hehehehehe...'The voice retreated. God how I hate that voice.
"I do not love him..." I mumbled, walking towards the back wall.
The room we meet in, aka our place in the library, is an old abandoned conference room. It used to be a special meet-up place for students to hang out in, with its white walls covered with writing in Sharpie from past generations, colored oversized bean bags, a mini fridge, a table, and board games in a small cabinet on the side. I was thinking so hard that I didn't notice the wall coming up in front of me.
WHAM!
"Et tet tet... Ow..." I said, rubbing my forehead.
"Are you okay?" I looked up to see Dexter, my crush, bending over me.
"Hai. Gomenasai, Dexter-kun." He helped me pick up my things, and then held out his hand and helped me up. I smiled at him.
He was in all honors classes, and was three grades ahead in math. He wasn't snooty about it though. He has curly red hair, sparkling blue eyes, and a pretty smile. I'm in honors english, japanese, and history, so I have all of those classes with him.(A/N: They live in Japan)
"Where are you headed?" He asked, looking at me.
"Secret!" I put my finger to my lips and winked. My sisters and I keep our place a secret. We don't want others messing it up.
Dexter smiled at me, making me blush slightly. He's the only boy who can crack my outer layer. So far.
"Okay, I'll guess I'll see you later then." He turned towards the rest of the library shelves and waved at me.
"Bye! See you!" I waved back then ran to the room once he was out of sight. I dashed inside and slammed the door. "Hah... So cute..." I melted, sliding down the door onto the floor.
"Met Dexter?" A voice said. I looked up and Kyoko was sitting in her white bean bag. We were the only ones in the room. "There's hot chocolate, by the way."
"Therapy time?" I asked, standing.
"Yep."
I have periodical "therapy" sessions with Kyoko, which are mostly made up of sweets, me talking about my problems(I have more than you'd expect), and her reacting and giving me advice, which she's very good at. These sessions are the reason I'm allowed on her floor.
"YAY THERE'S ALMOND JOYS TOO!" I screamed upon seeing the plastic bowl filled with the coconut-chocolate candies in their blue wrappers. The room is soundproofed so I don't have to worry about anyone hearing me.
"They were a pain to sneak in here, but I managed." She shrugged as I drooled over the bars. I still have a huge sweet tooth, but I try to control it and save it for these times.
"Yum" I said, my mouth filled with three Almond Joys. As I said, I have trouble controlling it once I'm allowed to go crazy on the sweets.
"Hey, leave me some!" Kyoko said, getting a little annoyed. She shows me her emotions more than anyone else. Plus she love Almond Joys too.
I swallowed and brought the bowl and my mug of hot cocoa over to my pink beanbag. "Gomen, gomen. Here." She grabbed three. "What about the others? Aren't they gonna come?" I said, suddenly remembering the original reason I came
"I told them that you'd tell them about it at home, and that you had a chess club activity and I had an archery competition, so we're all clear."
"You lie a lot."
"Yep. Don't trust me."
"I know that already." Kyoko was very stern that we never trust her, no matter how much we wanted to. She trusts us, we trust her secretly.
"Now, what's new?" She asked, taking another blue wrapped candy bar.
"Hmmm..." I told her about meeting Dexter, seeing the RRBZ and how I felt about it, the stress from homework, how my coworker at my part-time job got pregnant from her boyfriend who recently left her to deal with it alone(which wasn't my problem but it was weighing on my mind anyway), my choice to tell the other sisters about the guy's aliases, my latest meet-up with Brick that ended in him kissing me, and the way the little voice reacted. "Am I crazy?"
"Why would you be crazy?" She put our cups in the sink.
"Because I have a voice in my head that's convinced I'm in love with...him."
"Him as in Dexter, Brick, or Kare?"
"1.I wish, one, 3. what the heck?" I looked at her, stifling a laugh.
"Well, Kare goes by Him. You can't blame me." She said, looking at me, cracking a smile.
"But...to think...I would...Pfft... ahahahahahahahahahahaha!" I started laughing like a crazy person. Kyoko laughed a little too, but much more controlled than me. "Gomen, gomen, but that was so funny."
"As Usagi would say,'I made a funny.'" Kyoko smiled, quoting our childish sister. I laughed some more. "Okay, we're out of Almond Joys and hot chocolate, so session over. Let's head home."
"All right, but I want to get a book I put on hold. Will you wait for me?" I asked, calming down from my laughter.
"Okay." Kyoko said. We both stood up, went out of the room, and locked it. Kyoko placed an illusion on the door to make it look like a space of wall to everyone but us and our sisters. I headed to the romance section with Kyoko on my heels. I picked out my book and checked it out. Then we raced home, laughing the entire time.
Okay, I think that's enough. So Momoko gets "therapy" from Kyoko now! You can see that Kyoko's shell is cracking, so now you're getting to know her better. Sorry for being lazy, I just can't get myself to write lately, especially not this story. I'm not giving up, I'll keep writing it. But updates might be a little slow, gomen!
GEEKGIRL OUT! PEACE!
