Chapter 34: Day 213

I awoke the next morning at 5:00 A.M. and after waking up and showering I dressed in my usual garb and made my way to the GPS room and once in there I made coffee for the team and while it was brewing I sat down at island and turned the T.V. on for background noise while I waited for Terra to come in and start helping with breakfast. Minutes later Terra came in and while we waited for Bee and then I told her what my plan for the next day was.

''So Terra since tomorrow is Bee and Cy's anniversary I was thinking of making one of their favorites and putting them together.''

''So what sausage links for Cy and Cinnamon Rolls for Bee?''

''Exactly those paired together and to drink I don't know if it should be coffee or orange juice.''

''I don't think they'd care which one. It doesn't have to be perfect.'' Terra said.

''I know but it should be an anniversary is an important and special event.'' I replied.

''This sounds really important to you Max.''

''It is and it gives me hope that Raven and I will make it.''

Terra was about to say something but Bee entered the room and since it was Anniversary related she didn't speak.

''Morning guys.'' Bee said wishing us a good day.

''Hey Bee.'' both of us replied.

''So what were you two talking about? anniversary stuff?'' Bee asked knowing that we were from our silence.

Terra and I looked at each other and then back at Bee before we decided to admit the truth.

''Yeah we were talking about anniversary stuff.'' I said.

''Anything I can be privy to?''

''No Bee you'll have to wait until tomorrow to find out.'' I told her.

At hearing this Bee mocked deflated and then the three of us talked even as the others came in. When one of our lovers came in they'd walk over to us and we'd kiss each other good morning and they waited for breakfast to be finished by sitting at the island counter. Once everyone was in the GPS room and breakfast was done we sat as a group of friends and teammates around the island eating our morning meal. Once we were done eating Star and Jinx put the dishes in the dishwasher before they joined the rest of us on the half circle couch where we sat and watched T.V. while we digested breakfast. Once we digested Raven and I stood up and asked Star if she'd like to join us in meditation. She was happy to and then the three of us left and went into my room where we sat in our usual places and once we started we stayed like this for a few hours.

As we were coming out of our meditative states we could smell that Bee was cooking lunch. We stood up and walkout of my room and down the hall to the GPS room to find that Bee and Terra were making paninis for everyone with there favorite ingredients and flavors. The three of us sat down at the island as the sandwiches cooked and we talked and laughed as a group. Once they were done cooking the rest of the team joined us and we ate lunch. We all sat on the couch and digested while we decided what to do next. Go to the gym and work out, train in the Danger Room or hand to hand combat training as a whole group. The team decided on hand to hand combat training and we stood up and walked to the elevator and rode it down two floors to the gym. We then filed out into the gym and and into the dojo and instead of the usual one on one we decided on one on one on one on one. Jinx, vs BB vs Raven vs Cy and then after them Terra, Robin, Bee, Star and I would go next. Jinx, vs BB vs Raven vs Cy went first and after a good half hour of intense combat between all four BB was the first one ''killed'' by Jinx leaving the other three to have at it. Next out was Cy by Raven and then finally Raven lost to Jinx.

After the four of them fought and Jinx was victorious then Terra, Robin, Bee, Star and I took the floor. Since Robin was by far the best hand to hand combatant of not only the five of us but also the entire team when the sparring match started Terra, Bee, Star and I all went straight for him right from the start. It was a hectic battle and swirl of kicks, strikes, dodges and blocks from everyone until finally Terra and I both did low sweeps to Robins legs right as Bee smashed her fore arm across his chest which caused him to fall back onto the floor and Star reacted quickly by delivering the ''death blow''. With Robin out of the match in about fifteen minutes the rest of us chose one of our fellow teammates and faced off against them. Terra and Star fought each other while Bee and I did the same too. I quickly dispatched Terra by grabbing her arm as she punched at me and hip tossing her to the floor in one fluid motion and then delivering the ''death blow''. Once Terra was out I joined in the match between Star and Bee and I went after both of them attacking randomly not caring who I attacked. The three of us were striking and blocking each other until finally Star quickly changed from attacking me to allowing me to fight Bee one on one and Star tripped Bee as I struck her in the shoulder and then Star gave the ''kill shot''.

Now it was just Star and I left so we threw punches and kicks and blocking them at a fierce rate until Star backed away from me. Once on the other side of the floor from me she ran and then at the last second she dropped and slid past me and she grabbed me legs as she did and I fell. I caught myself but Star quickly spun me around on the floor and ''killed me''. Once I was out of the sparring match I stood up quickly and I walked over to the bench as Jinx stood and made her way onto the dojo floor. The two girls bowed before getting into their fighting stances. Once they had bowed and got into their stances Jinx threw the first kick and Star dodged it and then she threw a punch towards Jinx stomach. Jinx grabbed Star's wrist blocking the punch and then she quickly stepped behind Star and twisted Star's arm and she planted it into the small her back. With her arm twisted behind her back Star struggled a bit trying to break free of Jinx's grip but to no avail. With her arm useless Star thought quickly about how to get loose so she spun and broke free from Jinx's grip and then she tripped Jinx and while Jinx was on her back Star ''killed'' her. Once Star was the victor she helped Jinx up to her feet and we all congratulated her on the overall win and the team walked to the elevator and we split up to all do our own thing. Cy, Robin and I went down to the vehicle hangar to work on our vehicles while Raven went to her room to read a book. Star, Jinx and BB all decided to go to the video store to rent some movies for tomorrow night for us to watch while Cy and Bee were out for the night and Terra and Bee started to prepare dinner.

Once Cy, Robin and I were in the vehicle hangar we walked over to rides and started to do maintenance on them. My bike needed an oil change and my tail light was starting to go so I had to change the bulb as well. While I changed the oil and my tail light Robin was busy doing the same with his oil and also he changed his brakes. Cy on the other hand not only was he changing oil as well but he was washing the T-car and vacuuming the inside of it so it was perfect for the drive to the restaurant and hotel tomorrow night. Once the three of us were done maintaining our vehicles we rode the elevator up to the top floor and we walked to the GPS room where everyone else was as dinner was just being served. We joined our friends at the island and we ate the delicious meal Terra and Bee had prepared. As we ate dinner we talked about the next night plans while Cy and Bee were busy with their anniversary. We decided that we'd invite Marcus over for the night and we'd play some party games and watch movies.

''So what movies did you guys rent?'' I asked.

''Inception, White House Down and The Proposal.'' Terra said.

''I wonder who chose which movie.'' I said sarcastically.

''So sue my for thinking Channing Tatum is hot as hell.'' Terra said defending her choice of movie and male celebrity crush.

''At least it's action and comedy which is hard to pull off in the same movie.'' I said finding a redeeming feature in it.

''I thought we could also play some games of partying.'' Star said.

''Yeah like Monopoly or Jenga or something.'' Robin suggested.

''How about some Twister.'' Terra suggested a hint of naughtiness in her voice.

When Jinx said this Raven and I looked at each other as I knew she might not be comfortable participating in Twister as it can get fairly personal and some what intimate in bodily contact not to mention the possible sexual nature that sometimes comes with Twister.

Before I could speak up and possibly keep that idea from happening Jinx said ''I don't think Marcus and I are ready for that just yet at this point in our relationship.''

''Sorry I didn't think of that.'' Terra said apologizing to Jinx for her lack of thought for everyone in the group and was mostly thinking of herself and BB.

''That's okay it wasn't a horrible idea.'' Jinx said thinking of the fun her and Marcus could have at some point by themselves in a more private setting.

With the possible Twister problem out of the way I said ''how about Charades or Pictionary?''

''We can sort this out tomorrow when Marcus is here to add his two cents.'' Robin said.

Star looked confused by this saying and asked ''Why would Friend Marcus be adding two pennies when we were discussing possible games for us to play tomorrow evening?''

''Adding your two cents means suggestions of your own.'' Cy explained.

''Oh.'' Star replied.

Once we were done with dinner and the conversation about tomorrows night activities we all sat on the couch to digest dinner and watch T.V. before we went to bed. At about midnight we got up and started to head for our rooms but I stopped Bee before she left the GPS room and let her know she could sleep in tomorrow morning because Terra and I planned on making breakfast for everyone and we'd deliver breakfast to them at about 9:00 in the morning.

''Okay it'll be nice to have a couple mornings off.'' Bee said.

She then walked to her room while Raven walked up to me and gave me a long kiss and then once we broke it I asked ''What was that for?''

''Because you're a really good friend and it's nice of you to do that for Bee and Cy.''

After the kiss and her saying I was a good friend we separated and went to our respective rooms so we could sleep. Once in my room I undressed and eventually stripped down to my underwear before I got into my bed and I slowly drifted off to sleep.
