Me: Hi again my fellow writers!

Chiro: Hi Hi!

Sprx: Hi Hi! Really kid?

Gibson: Sprx is going through a withdrawal phase right now…

Sprx: Shut your yap Gibson! (Slaps Gibson then hits Chiro.)

Me: Security! (Security guards come in and take Sprx away. Chiro starts to bawl his eyes out while Gibson tries to comfort him. Little anime sweat drop comes down my face.) Well, since Sprx is gone and Gibson is calming down Chiro will you three do the pleasure?

Nova: Sure, Aunna does not own SRMTHFG!

Otto: If she did we would know how the war turned out.

Antauri: Please Read and Review.

Chapter Nine: Repaired Friendship, Then Snatched

It was all normal inside the robot. Antauri was meditating, Gibson was doing an experiment, Sprx was trying to distract himself from smoking or drinking, Nova was doing combat practice, Otto was building something, and I was playing with my toy monkey.

Now that I was five Gibson and Sprx would begin to teach me about the Super Robot and how to pilot it. I was honestly looking forward to Gibson's lessons, even though the rest of them thought I was crazy, but was terrified of my lessons with Sprx. Ever since he quit smoking and drinking he had been more moody and extremely threatening. I just stayed out his way. "Chiro?" a male voice asked.

I turned around. It was Sprx. "Yeah Sprx?" I asked.

"Can I talk to you privately?" Sprx asked. I looked at Antauri. He had stopped meditating and gave me a little nod. I knew that, if there was trouble, Antauri would barge in and tackle him to the floor before he would let Sprx hurt me. In fact he would do that to anyone.

"Of course Sprx," I said, somehow masking my fear. Ever since last time I had been alone with Sprx I had been terrified of being in the same room as him, much more being alone with him.

Sprx led me to his private quarters. I rarely entered anyone else's room and had never entered Sprx's room in my five years of living with the Monkey Team. It was red with some bean bags and a table covered with cloths and some form of grease. I knew that Sprx took pride into keeping his 'beauties' clean but not this much. It freaked me out and I wondered if this was the reason Nova wouldn't date Sprx.

"Sorry about the mess," Sprx said.

"It's not a problem," I said.

"I want to apologize," Sprx said.

"About what?" I asked. Sprx was definitely not the type to apologize. This just made me nervous.

"About snapping at you," Sprx said. I suddenly remembered what ha happened when he touch the cut on my arm. Sprx had lost his temper and I just happened to be standing to close. It had been worse then what it was now but I was still terrified.

"It's okay," I said, my voice sounding weak and small.

"No it's not," Sprx said. He grasped my shoulders and I flinched. "See kid. I can't even hold you without you flinching. I've hurt you and I've made you scared. Sorry,"

I couldn't believe what I had heard. Sprx was apologizing. And I was the one he was apologizing to. Before I knew it I had embraced Sprx and started crying into his shoulder. Sprx hugged me back and was whispering calming words into my ear. I couldn't help it. This was the first time I felt normal around Sprx. "You wanna go for a walk kid?" Sprx asked.

"What?" I asked, still sniffling.

"Do you wanna go and walk?" Sprx asked again, slightly amused.

"Sure," I said, wiping the remaining tears away. He left Sprx's room and hurried out of the robot. The moment we got outside Sprx began to chuckle. "What's so funny?" I asked.

"Two minutes ago you would be screaming bloody murder," Sprx said. "Now you act like nothing happened," Sprx stopped talking for a moment and smiled. "And I'm loving it!" He got on all fours and chased me. I ran and waited till we were far enough from the Robot before I started screaming with pleasure and fake fear.

It felt good to be friends with Sprx again. After so many weeks of hiding and avoiding him things were somewhat normal. We ran for a half an hour and Sprx caught me. I screamed with joy and he tickled me. I screamed louder while laughing. I was afraid that the rest of the team would hear me but they didn't. Then Sprx got stopped tickling and growled. I sat up and looked.

We were surrounded by thirteen men wearing purple bandanas around their mouths and noses. I was scared. They looked mean. And if Sprx didn't trust them, I didn't either. "Hello monkey," one of them said. "Just give us the kid and we'll go peacefully,"

I shivered. Did Sprx really love me enough to risked his fur? I got my answer seconds later when Sprx activated his magnets and growled, "Over my dead body!"

"Okay monkey," the man said. "Boys, get him!"

The other men attacked Sprx and Sprx leaped into action. All I could do was avoid being grabbed by the mob men. Sprx had just took the last man down when the leader grabbed me. "Bloody murder!" I shouted at the top of my lungs as the leader threw me into a van.

"Kid!" Sprx shouted. The leader banged my head against a head against the wall of the van and I lost my eyesight. But I could hear Sprx shouting for me, the leader slamming the door shut and the screeching tires of the van.

"Sprx!" I shouted. "Help me!" Then my world was swallowed by unconsciousness.
