Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter.
Just so you guys know I wrote this a week ago when I was sick in bed coughing my
head off, but I didn't want being sick at home to
be unprophitable….so I thought I might as well update;)
The reason this wasn't up sooner was that with my little sister's birthday, end of the semester,
and me still trying to figure out my new computer, it just hasn't really been a good
writing time for me:(
…..
Here are some quotes:
"Friends are like four leaf clovers….hard to find…but lucky to have..."
"Good friends don't let you do stupid things….Alone…."
"A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart, and sings it back when you forget the lyrics."
"Don't walk in front of me….I may not follow. Don't walk behind me…I may not lead. But you can walk beside me and be my friend:)"
…..
This one's for this chapter.:
"Make the most of yourself…cuz that's all there is to you…"
I'd like to thank Coolgirl96, Melissa, my cousin Kristii, and Princess Diana Artemis. You guys make this story possible:)I'd also like to personally thank BornAgainINChrist who gave me some motivation and inspiration;) Now this is another training chapter. I wrote it a few days ago, but I had to turn in my magazine project for my English class yesterday, and I had to go to school. Today I did go to school, but only for two periods because I couldn't stand my headache, and yeah…you get the picture…but like I said I already wrote this chapter, but I didn't have any time write it. I also should say I don't Wordgirl, and I hope you enjoy!
…
This is gonna be an interesting day…
Those were Becky last thoughts before she went on her way and headed towards school. She reached the gates and took a deep breath… she was going to have to face him sooner or later. She hurried to her locker and got there just as the last bell rang annoyingly in her ears. She looked in Tobey's direction, but he seemed to have his nose buried in some book. She saw him shift his gaze at meet hers. She didn't know what had happened, but she must have stayed there a second or two longer because the teacher cleared her voice and rolled her eyes.
"Are you going to sit down, Miss Botsford, or would you like to join me after school for detention. This time I'm going to let your near tardy, but you'd better take your seat this minute before I change my mind," the teacher said in a threatening voice.
Becky didn't have to be told twice. She hurried to her place next to Tobey. He was quietly avoiding her gaze again, but failing miserably. He could tell she wanted to see if he was alright…but after what he had been thinking about last night he didn't even know…
He saw Becky take out a pencil and was starting to write a note. He sighed and waited for her to hand him the note. She did and he read it,
Why are you ignoring me?:(
He thought about it and took out his own pencil, and answered,
I'm not ignoring you I AM talking to you right now;)
With a smirk he handed it to her. He saw her roll her eyes, but could see a small smile playing on her face. She wrote back,
Good as long as I have you talking there are no tutoring lessons today. Instead we're going to the park, Mystique wants both of us to come. Idk why….
Tobey became confused as to why she wanted him to go as well, but figured it was useless fighting against it. He nodded his head so that she could see. She smiled gratefully, and then the bell rang. They picked up their things and headed out. They went to their math class where Tobey had insisted that he help her there to make up for the time they would lose today afterschool. The math teacher was absent and the substitute wasn't really paying attention… in fact she was just sitting her filling her nails, so they made the most of it. After that period was over Tobey had been able to get over what he had been thinking about last night. It was just as it had been yesterday…well except for the fact that she was Wordgirl….but he would worry about that later….for now he wanted to make sure Becky and him were still okay. He didn't want to screw up their friendship. He didn't want to lose her…
Wait what! Since when am I that semimetal? Did Becky really mean that much to him? Sure they had their fights and there was of course the small fact that she is Wordgirl, but when had he changed from the evil boy genius…to this? Had Becky really changed him this much? Sure he loved her…in a completely platonic way of course… he loved her as a friend…his best friend…but he was more than that…she was like his sister in a way… did that even make sense?
He thought it best to stop thinking since it was obviously getting him nowhere, and dropped the subject…or rather his feelings aside. They were too confusing….
….
The day passed on just like that with Tobey trying to fight off his feelings, and Becky oblivious to his inner thoughts. The moment the last bell rang they shot out the door to their locker to leave their books since as if by some miracle, not one of their teachers had left anyone any homework. Not that they were complaining or anything it….it gave them more assurance that they could go meet Mystique sooner. They slammed their lockers shut and were on their way to the park.
They walked and walked all the way to the other side of the park until there was hardly any more park left to go. They finally reached a dead end….or so they thought…. Becky stood there baffled beyond recondition….had they really just reached a dead end after all that walking? Tobey was more annoyed than confused and was about to say something when Becky shushed him.
"Hey, what was that for?" Tobey exclaimed.
"Shhh! I'm trying to hear," Becky said. He grudgingly obeyed, and Becky focused all her hearing and had to strain to hear the faintest sound of…water? Yes, water….what had Mystique told her….go towards the back and find a creek…there you'll find a cave….
She strained her ears to find which direction the faint gurgling sound was coming from and looked to her right. She could faintly see a clearing, and drawn to the sound she headed over there. Tobey looked at her strangely before running to catch up with her. He watched her stop abruptly and he followed. He turned to see what she had stopped for. He saw before them a small creek and trees and other wildlife amongst it. Then Becky saw a cave, and out stepped Mystique. She offered them a small, yet completely genuine smile. They found themselves smiling with her. Mystique lead them inside the cave which was pitch black except for a single lantern that Mystique held to create a single path of light that appeared and disappeared behind them as they moved forward. They eventually stopped and reached what seemed to be then end of the cave when Mystique surprisingly and calmly pushed the wall open to reveal a training ground…and Wordgirl's ship….
While Becky and Tobey were taking in their surroundings Bob stepped out of the ship's hatch and squeaked his greetings to both of them. They turned to him and their eyes fell to the book in her grasp, and they knew what was about to happen.
Mystique cleared her throat and turned to Becky," Becky, hand me your necklace."
Becky reached for her neck and undid the clasp and handed the hand to the older girl asking," Why did you ask me to bring Tobey?"
Mystique didn't answer right away but after unlocking the book the way she had yesterday she simply said, "He may be useful…."
Becky was about to state on that, but Tobey burst out indignantly before her," May…I MAY be useful!" he exclaimed," I'm an evil boy genius…I battle Wordgirl, I have proved to be far more superior than her for that matter…well maybe not that much…but you get the point!"
Mystique simply looked on in amusement at the boy's outburst and rolled her eyes in humor. Tobey, sensing this, continued with one more statement," I am a robot mastermind!"
Mystique face went from humor to seriousness. She had a sudden idea, and maybe he could be useful…with mechanics and such…
"Yes, well we don't have all day considering the situation so I suggest we get started with your training," Mystique said turning the book to a different page in the book and out came two figures. Both of which were remarkably huge. Their arms were all muscle. Their expressions…merciless. Their hair unruly and pulled in a careless ponytail. They stayed there stiff and unmoving…increasing the amount of terror in their eyes. They looked at Mystique pleading with their eyes that they would not have to do what they probably guessed silently.
She simply pointed to the petrifying men and said," I want, you two, to rely only on your own strengths. Your instincts if you will… this may not necessarily be new to you, Rebeckah, but as for your friend I'm not so sure. I want you to use each other's strength to fight these two gentlemen. "
Becky wasn't as worried as she had yesterday…but her concern was for Tobey. He may be an 'evil boy genius'….but how many times had she had to rescue him from his own robots? She couldn't help but feel this wasn't going to end well…
...
Mystique told them to change into more comfortable clothes. They got changed rather quickly, and headed out to join both Mystique and Huggy. They made their way rather nervously, more so Tobey than Becky, but still. They looked towards the looming figurers ahead of them. They stepped forward when Mystique motioned them to, and got ready praying this wasn't a mistake.
Mystique looked at them and then muttered something either incoherent or inaudible. Then without much warning the sound of metal against metal seemed to ring in their ears. Maybe their fear. They did not know. Becky prepared herself for the attack. Tobey seemed glued in his place. The first brute made his way towards Becky and swung an iron fist at her. She ducked and he lost his balance. She looked to Tobey whose eyes were the size of saucers. She looked to the other brute and saw him coming in his direction. She acted fast and pushed him out of the way just in time to prevent him from getting hurt, but to see the other one heading her way, too. She, without even realizing it, acted on instinct. She saw the hurtling roundhouse punch, and immediately dodged it and bent backwards. She felt the powerful knuckles swish past her. Her hands fell to the ground and her legs swung up. She flipped back up to her feet. She blinked. She felt a powerful surge go through her that felt energizing, electrifying, incredible. She remembered having this feeling the day before. She suddenly felt determined and found newly found energy to continue.
She paused. She saw him plunging forward and she blocked the attack. He seemed dazed, and she took the opportunity to look at Tobey. He had found a metal rod, which strangely resembled an arm…until she saw a figure racing towards her, and she fell back with"Oomph."
She impact hurt, but not so much that it took away her breath. She shook her heard a bit to take away the dazed feeling, but maybe a moment longer than she intended. She looked up to see a slightly blurry figure coming towards her. She was too dazed to do anything until she felt a tug and felt herself being pulled away just barely missing a painful blow.
A splintering crash brought her back to her senses. She looked at the face in front of hers and saw Tobey looking at her in concern," Are you alright?"
She showed him a weak smile to trying to hide her thoughts," Yeah, of course, why wouldn't I be?"
He gave her a 'really' look and muttered," I can think of a few reasons."
She glared at him and swatted his arm softly, but with a little bit of strength. She heard him chuckle softly and she rolled her eyes at him. "Don't you have your own guy to take down?" she said in annoyance.
He raised an eyebrow at her and said in a teasing and humorous voice,"But I already did."
Becky's eyes grew wide with disbelief and she breathed out incredulously, "But….how…how did you finish before me?"
He laughed at that and casually said,"Mine's got hit by a tree and then I tripped him into the creek. It wasn't that hard, or your friend, Mystique, just gave me an easy one."
"Yeah, well I should get back to mine too and-," she was cut off by Tobey pulling her arm and pointing to a pile of metal now lying motionlessly on the ground.
"You already did when I pulled you away from there he hit the ground and fell apart," he explained.
"Oh, so we should probably go back to Mystique and Huggy, right?"
"Yeah, come on let's go," he answered and they went to join them.
….
