When Rex walked into his room Crystal was sitting at the desk. He quietly walked over to her, shopping bag still in hand. When he was about four feet away she noticed him and said "Thank you for taking care of me earlier." Rex smiled at that and said "It's what I'm going to do. By the way I picked up a few things for you when I was out." Crystal puzzled by this asked "what?" Rex simply hid behind a wall of embarassment when he awnsered " Let's just say it's for a monthly need." Crystal understood what he was saying and got really embarassed. Nobody could see her blushing because she was in her EVO form. (Holiday convinced her it was safe to be like that around providence. )

Rex went and put the new supplies in the bathroom and came back out to Crystal. He was curious about what she was drawing, so he started to walk behind her. She knew what he was tring to do, and she didn't want him to see what she was doing. So she closed and locked her journal. " it's not an electric lock so you can't get it open secretly Rex". Rex smirked at that, she really did remind him of Six, in the paranoia and observation catagories.

"OK then will you tell me what your were drawing?" "as a matter of fact ,no I will not" "We both know that I'll find out sooner or later" "yea, you will but not right now"

Rex got mad and went to the "Petting Zoo". While Rex was at the petting zoo Crystal walked to Six's room and knocked on the door. When Six awnsered it he saw the teenage EVO. Before Six could even ask a question Crystal asked if she could barrow a sharp knife that she could carve wood with. Six asked "why?" Crystal explained that she was going to carve a wood block for Rex because she got him really mad at her. Six asked why she didn't just use her claws. Crystal replied with an attuide "Because I may be an EVO but I'm not barbairic." Six just gave up and gave her the serrated knife from his pocket. Crystal was happy with this and left to find a block of wood.

She somehow ended up at CPT. Calin's room asking him. He didn't even want to know what it was for. He liked Rex and her, so he just gave her the spare wood block he was going to carve next. Crystal quickly thanked him and ran off into the petting zoo.

Meanwhile Rex was thinking about how he acted, and realized that he over-reacted. He felt bad so he decided to clear his head. He bulit his mechanical bike that he dubbed the "Rex Ride". His just started to do laps around the petting zoo.

(Back to Crystal)

Crystal had found a place in the petting zoo that only she and Rex can get to. Rex has to fly there, while she just uses her claws and climbs the nearby trees. She headed here to carve the wood. She planned on making a very small version of her because she knew how much Rex liked her. It would be more of a momento.

When she had just finished carving the block into what she wanted she heard Rex calling for her. She jumped down from her hiding spot and ran following his voice. She eventually caught up with him. When he saw her he felt relief. He said " Do you have any idea what time it is or how long I've been looking for you?" She replied with " no,and no". "It's almost midnight! And as for how long I've been looking for you is HOURS, I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU FOR HOURS!" Crystal started to cry, not because he was yelling at her, but because she felt like she messed up her attempt to cheer him up.

Rex immedatly felt bad about yelling at her and pulled her into a hug, even though they were in the middle of the petting zoo. When he let go he asked her " better?" she nodded her head yes. They went back to their room to change and get ready for bed.

The next day they got up at the regular time to go to school. Rex took his shower first. Crystal got her's second. While she was showering Rex prepaired their school items, grabbed Crystal's medicine, and waited. When the were both finally ready they went down to the garage to meet Six for their ride. When they got to school they went to homeroom,where everyone was in a frenzy getting ready for the day. As Crystal sat through the day, rex sat in the back of the room without a word. When lunch came the same girl from the other day asked if she could sit with Crystal, Rex said "sure, sorry about the other day". The girl awnsered with "it's no problem, by the way my name is amber, like the jewl". Rex started a bit of chatter between the three of them and before anyone realized the time lunch was over. Crystal went through the rest of the days talking and partnering up with amber. When school let out Rex radio'd Hq and told them he was taking crystal shopping, and he really was. As the walked twords the exit of the building Rex asked her "is there anything you might want me to get you as a present?" she said "you could get me a really soft blanket, you know how I love them". In all reality Rex had no idea until now that she liked them. Rex said softly "well then lets go get you a new one." Crystal squealed with delight.

After they went shopping the went back to HQ and six was waiting for them. "You can't do that too often you know, right?" Rex simply said " yea, I know. I was just trying to make her day." "fine." With that the conversation was over.
