Chapter 9

Meeting Nova

Elana's P.O.V.

I was laying down on a branch outside father's lab. I was taking a little nap, waiting for Antauri to show up. Lately, I've been having growing feelings for him, but I have no idea why. When I asked father about it, he told me it sounded like I was in love. Could I really be in love with Antauri?

Yesterday, Antauri told me that he wanted to me to meet his friends. I was a little unsure about it. I definitely didn't want to meet Mandarin, but I wasn't sure about the others. So he said he would limit it down to only tow of them.

Then, after a while, I felt Antauri's presence coming towards me. I smiled as I saw him jumping on the branches to get to me. What neither of us noticed was Nova, the golden monkey secretly watching us. She looked at me with curiosity as she saw Antauri coming right next to me to talk.

" Did you wait here too long?" I shook my head to say no. " As long as you're here now, that's all that matters Antauri." Then he noticed my tired look and started looking at me concerned. " Did I wake you up again?" I smiled slightly at his concern before I answered him. " Maybe just a little Antauri, so what's the news?!" Antauri chuckled at my energy before he smirked and answered.

" Well, Gibson was talking to me and was wondering where I've been going every afternoon, but I kept quiet about you, just like I promised I would. Though, Nova has been getting suspicious and might try to follow me soon. So what do you want to do? So you want to meet them or stay in secret for now? I only want you to meet Nova and Gibson, no one else for now, alright?" I smiled knowing they were nice from hearing about them from Antauri. Then I nodded to say yes and he smiled. Then Nova came up and spoke to Antauri, curious.

" Why are you out here, Antauri? I thought that you would be inside meditating. So who is she because you two seem to be pretty close?" Both Antauri and I blushed at that before Antauri answered her questions, after I nodded my head to tell him that I didn't mind.

" I actually came here to talk to my friend here. She doesn't have anybody to talk to besides me, so I come out here every afternoon to keep her company and to have some fun." She nodded before Antauri spoke to me. " Why don't you introduce yourself, she's actually very nice once you get to know her?" I nodded before I looked at her shyly as I introduced myself.

" My name is ELNA-21, but please call me Elana. I really don't like to be called by my model number." She nodded and smiled as she introduced herself. " My name is Nova. It's nice to meet you Elana."

I smiled as I slowly got up with Antauri's help as I replied. " The same to you Nova. Antauri's told me so much about you. Kind and gentle with how people feel. Confident in the face of battle, with a fiery temper if provoked, especially by a red monkey named SPRX-77, or more commonly known as Sparx." She smiled and nodded sincerely before she spoke. " Yes, he can be a handful, but we love him anyway. So Elana, you wouldn't mind if I could be your friend too, would you?"

I smiled at her gently before I spoke. " Of course you can, Nova. By the way Antauri, you're planning on bringing Gibson with you the next time you come, right?" He nodded before he spoke. " Nova and I will formulate a plan to get him in the lab. Though, it won't be easy." I smiled at both of them gently as I replied. " Still, I look forward to meeting him as well, Antauri."
