Izzy thanked Archer for the talk, telling him that she would be grateful if he kept this to himself as he looked at her.
"I guess this is a bad time to say I already invited her to the movies, We're seeing that greaser film 'Hot Rubber' which is doing well from what I heard," Archer said as Izzy looked at him.
"You did what, didn't I just tell you I like her and you're still taking her to the movies" Izzy rebutted as Archer nodded.
"We talked about going before you even told me, plus I 'm not just going to cancel on her, she wanted to see this movie, besides I'm not gonna stop trying to get with her because there is competition, you need to step up your game," Archer said as Izzy grumbled.
"Fine, I'm going too" Izzy replied as Archer mentioned it was no skin off his teeth as Izzy looked at him.
"That's a disturbing metaphor" she responded as the two walked outside the mess hall, twiddling her thumbs as she was clearly waiting for Archer.
"I'm ready to walk to the theater, you get the okay from the counselors?" Archer asked as she nodded. Archer told her that Izzy wanted to tag along to see the movie as Monica saw no problem and even welcomed it as Izzy looked around.
"Just let me stop by the cabins real quick, It will only take a second," Izzy said rushing back to the cabin, which due to her skates was easier as she stopped at the boys' cabin, knocking as Andrej answered the door, brushing his teeth, looking down at the rabbit. she told him about Archer taking Monica to the movies and her tagging along, asking if he could come as her wingman.
"You could bring Sophie along, just follow us to the theatre and keep an eye on the group, plus a little bonding time could do you two good" Izzy suggested as Andrej agreed, saying he would follow her after asking Sophie to join. he would tell her that Izzy and Monica would be there. Izzy thanked him as she skated off.
"Who was that," Lance asked reading a Cowboy themed comic book as he said that he was going out for a while.
The group of there walked along the side of the road, both Archer and Izzy on one side of Monica. Archer went on about how Estoque saw this film and really liked it, saying the stunts were amazing as Seemed interested.
"I don't usually watch action movies. I usually go to the theatre in the city by myself and see comedies" Monica replied as Archer laughed, finding it humorous the dark Demonica enjoyed lighthearted movies.
"What about you Izzy, what kind of movies do you like?" Monica asked as she went on listing children's movies as Archer smiled, saying he could Izzy watching those as the approached the theatre, walking out to the ticket booth as the teenage behind the booth was reading a magazine, setting it down as he looked at the kids in costume.
"Great, more of those heroes," he said uninterested, which ones are you?" He asked as Archer pointed his thumb at himself introducing himself as a member of team Zorro as the Ticket taker looked uninterested saying he had never heard of him.
"You seriously don't recognize us, Demonica, Sidekick of Thunder Dragon from the Crusaders and Rainbow Skate of the Femme Four," Monica said introducing themselves as he looked at Demonica.
"I Thought Demonica wore black, is that a new costume or something?" he asked as she nodded, saying he did not recognize Rainbow Skate without her team as Archer handed him money for his ticket and Monica's as they took them, ready to go in.
"What about me, you invited me and you're not even gonna pay for my ticket?" Izzy asked a bit furious as Archer looked at her, established he never mentioned paying for her, and he only had money for two tickets.
"It's Okay Rainbow, I got you," a voice said as the two foxes turned seeing Andrej and Sophie, who walked up, handing the money for three tickets as Andrej passed one to Izzy.
"Strange seeing you here," Archer said as the five walked in only to be blocked by the teen, telling them to hand over any weapons, tools and Izzy's skates as the agreed. Monica handed her staff over, likewise with Archer's bow and quiver, Izzy's ribbon and skates, Andrej's belt and Sophie's sword as they entered sitting down. Monica sat down as Archer sat beside her.
"Hey, I was gonna set there," Izzy said as Archer mentioned his butt made contact first and she did not call the seat. Izzy grumbled taking a seat on the other side of Monica. Andrej told Sophie the best seats were in the back middle to get the best view as they sat a row behind them. to get a good view of the movie and to keep an eye on the three.
The movie started as the kids watched, the theatre filling up a bit but mostly empty. it was a cheap theatre in a small town so there weren't many people. Monica was watching, engaged in the movie as Archer decided to take a risk placing his paw on Monica's during the opening car chase.
It was 20 minutes in when this happened as Izzy looked over to Archer.
"Archer could you a lad and get me some popcorn, with butter and salt," Izzy said trying to come off as friendly, hiding her motives away from Monica as he looked at her, asking for money as she remembered she had no cash as a bill was handed to him, Archer turned seeing Andrej and Sophie.
"Keep the change, get me a box of Clusters too if you're making a snack run and a cherry cola for Sophie," Andrej asked as he looked at Monica, asking if she wanted anything, she said a box of gummy bugs would be nice.
"I'll help you carry the snacks" Monica volunteered as Izzy sprang up, saying hse and Monica would get them since Archer wanted to see this movie more than them as Izzy and Monica stood up as Archer looked at Monica handing her a bill.
"Can you get me a medium soda with no ice?" he asked as Monica smiled leaving with Izzy as archer laid back, acknowledge the bunny was clever as the two girls left. Izzy took her sweet time walking with Monica as the truth was eating her up inside.
"Monica, can we talk in private" Izzy said getting the vixen's attention as she looked at her friend, seeing she was clearly distressed, Izzy knew she had to say it before Archer got a chance to woo her. The two walked into the girls' room, Izzy looked around seeing they were alone as she prepared herself. She has had dreams of saying this to Monica but was shaking.
"Monica, I like you" Izzy admitted as Monica was stumped but what Izzy meant, as she smiled, putting her hands on Izzy's shoulders, smiling at the colorfully dressed rabbit.
"I like you two Izzy, you're my best friend, Iknow since our team broke up we haven't been close, you've been with the Femme Four, I 've been doing sidekick work. We haven't had much time to hang out. And I regret not spending it with you" Monica replied as Izzy brushed her paw away, turning to face the mirror.
"No Monica, I LIKE you, as in the other way," Izzy said, somehow unable to say the other L word as Monica was catching on, by Izzy sweating nervously, saying that Monica being a part of her life was the best thing to happen to her.
"Monica, I wasn't always this happy cheerful bunny I am today, you know I lost my family was I was young. It really messed me up and I was depressed, but after meeting you, becoming a hero. I felt my life changed for the better" Izzy admitted as Monica looked at her, a bit surprised by the development.
"So, you're saying you... love me" Monica stated on as Izzy nodded, which was much easier than saying the words as Monica stepped back.
"Wow, Izzy, that is a lot to take in considering the nature of who we are. both popular young heroes, the fox and rabbit dynamic we have, us both being girls. it's just shocking" Monica replied.
"I don't care that you're a girl, I don't even care that you're a fox. I felt confessing may be a waste of my time but I had to tell you how I feel about you, I'm tired of hiding it" Izzy replied as Monica looked at her.
"Hiding it, how long have you been hiding it?" Monica asked a bit curious as Izzy sighed admitted she never stopped thinking about Monica, she knew that since Archer was a male fox is was easier for Monica to get with him but she had to put her hat in the ring before it was too late.
"Wow Izzy, That's a lot to take in and I'm too shocked to give you an answer, let me think this over. I won't tell anyone about this encounter and for now, we'll just pretend this didn't happen. I'll have an answer for you tomorrow, let's get the snacks and get back to the movie" Monica said as Izzy agreed, admitting things were now awkward between them.
