Tech was walking angrily where Ace was; who was drinking a glass of water and tapped him on the shoulder. Ace turned around and saw the green coyote glare at him, with his arms folded. Ace shot back an angry look and some attitude at Tech.
"How could you hurt Rev like that?" Tech hesitated.
Ace came up closer and looked like he was going to smack Tech in his green face and make it turn red.
"What are you talking about?" He seethingly approached.
"I mean you hurting my best friend!" Tears were in Tech's eyes; Ace folded his arms and was trying to look tough. "What is wrong wit you? Dis isn't any of your beeswax, okay!? What goes on between me and Rev has nothin' to do wit' you! Just because we are all livin' under the same roof, dat doesn't give you the right to come into my business!" Tech came up to Ace closer and pointed at him firmly, "no, this isn't about you and Rev; this is about you and Lexi. You like her Ace and you are just the type of person that will go and destroy anyone's confidence, just to get a girl! Well, you know what? You can't always have your way in romances, okay? And another thing; what ever happened to the promise you made of having nothing come between our friendship?" Ace glared at him, "let me tell you somethin', Tech. When you are talking to me, if you have something to say about me? That's fine. But, don't you dare come storming all the way from Rev's room and make up lies about things that aren't true! Do you understand me?!" Ace pointed at Tech and had his bossy attitude brought back, "I am not making up lies, Ace. I just don't like people who threaten my friends, just to get what they want. If you have something to say? Come here and say it to my face. But you leave Rev alone! He's done nothing wrong and in fact, he is the best friend that you'll ever have, because whoever else would be in his position; they really would have really shown you what for?" Tech was now crying and trying to hold back his tears. It was obvious though of how he was feeling, so Ace was able to catch on. "No, Tech; first of all, I did not threaten Rev. Secondly, you have no right to make up a idea that I did and thiod of all, Rev has no right to do tings, behind my back. So, I don't know where you got dis idea of me threatening him." Ace looked away and Tech tried to look him in the face; with satisfaction, that he won, "so, this is about you liking Lexi. You can't stand to have someone else like her and you have this ridiculous idea in your head that Rev is defenseless, so you try to ruin his confidence; just to get Lexi to like you, right? Don't lie to me; tell me the truth, Ace! Tell me the truth! When we were stuck in that cave, did you or did you not say that you weren't going to let anything ruin our friendship again?" Ace just stared at him and was speechless. He didn't want to show Tech that he was wrong and admit to him exactly what he was feeling. So, Ace had to think fast and do the one thing that would cover up the evidence. He pushed Tech into the refrigerator door and ran out of the kitchen, in embarrassment. Tech got up; he dusted himself off and wanted to go after the person that just pushed him. But, Tech realized that if he did that, he would be just as bad and plus, Ace was already long gone. So instead, Tech stopped in his tracks, folded his arms, smiled with satisfaction and head back to Rev's room. He sat on the bed, next to the road runner that gave him a "is the coast clear, yet?" look and he smiled and gestured his arm outside the room, where the door was open."Its okay now, Rev; you don't have to feel so guilty. Go and spend as much time as you want with Lexi." Rev's eyes began to brighten up, he smiled and gave Tech a huge hug. "Thank-you-thank-you-thank-you-so-much-Tech-you-made-me-feel-much-better-you-are-the-best-friend-a-guy-could-ever-have!" "Okay, okay; now go talk to Lexi because, I can't breathe." Rev noticed that he was hugging Tech too tight, so he let him go, smiled at him and then he zipped off happily; to find Lexi.
