Kazu looked at you in astonishment as you walked around the room, running your hands along ATs, parts, helmets, gear etc.

"Pick any ATs you want" you said to Kazu with your back turned. You heard hesitant shuffling behind your back as Kazu gingerly searched the shelves of ATs for the pair that suited him.

"What about these?" you heard him ask after a few minutes.

You turned to see him with a pair of black and Red ATs. Those were my first "tweaked" pair of ATs you thought to yourself as you stared at the ATs. You were about to suggest another pair better suited for beginners when you noticed the look in Kazus' eyes. They were full of excitement and determination and you couldn't help remembering having that same look when you got your first pair of ATs. "If you promise to take good care of them..." you trailed off giving Kazus "the look."

"I will I promise." he said with determination as he walked back into the basement and sat on one of the couches. You trailed behind Kazu, casting another glance at the room before closing the door and joining him on the couch. You both sat in silence for a while before Kazu spoke up. "So..."

"I'd really not rather talk about it." you replied somewhat curtly as you flipped the tv on and started to channel surf.

"Wha-?"

"Look I used to ride ATs, now I don't. Lets just leave it at that." you stated simply. A few moments passed before he spoke again.

"Uh...I was going to ask If you would know anything about riding these things..." he trailed off sweatdropping.

"Oh." you replied sheepishly rubbing the back of your head. "Um I guess I can teach you Kazu but don't let anyone know. I don't really want to be dragged into all of this again."

You noticed Kazu open his mouth to say something but he quickly closed his mouth and smiled softly. "Sure. Whatever you want Kei-sensei." You rolled your eyes and slapped him softly on the arm before resuming your channel surfing activities. All of a sudden you saw Kazu reach for the remote out of your hands and you quickly hit him upside the head with it.

"Nuh-uh. My remote not yours. Go away." you stated flipping the channels again.

"But your not even watching anything. I just saw something I wanted to watch." he argued.

"Nope. My TV, my remote, my house, my rules." You shrugged as Kazu turned around and sulked before suddenly jumping off the couch as he lunged for you and the remote. "HA! I WIN!" you yelled excitedly before walking over to the kitchen in your basement. You grabbed a soda from the fridge for Kazu and yourself before walking back over to the sofa. "Here." you said handing him the soda.

"Thanks." he replied still sulking about the remote. You finally tossed him the remote.

"Theres nothing on. Here you pick something to watch." you said innocently while taking a sip of your soda. Kazu sweatdropped before picking up the remote and flipping to some random reality TV show. "This is the crap you watch?" you asked dryly pointing to the television.

"Yeah. Its funny watching other peoples crappy lives and how much worse our own could really be." Kazu replied becoming engrossed in the TV.

You sweatdropped. I don't see why thats funny you thought slowly turning to watch the disturbing TV show.

Kazu POV:

I glanced over at Kei out of the corner of my eye. I wonder what her history is. What happened between her and ATs? I sighed softly and quickly shifted my eyes back to the TV as Kei glanced over at me. Man this whole AT thing is going to be a drag I can tell...
