The coyote bowed to the roadrunner to later say -Of course, you pass-
Rev laughing laughed at the side of Tech and they both started walking - How was the training? -
-As always only idiots crying because they do not resist a simple insignificant scream, I say it's football not ballet What did they expect? Hugs and cups of tea with biscuits-Tech complains as he walked to the parking lot with Rev-And yours? -
-Normal, Flash says that I am his "star runner" and that it will be easy for me to win in the competitions after the winter holidays-Rev says with joy in his voice-I know that there is still something for that but says that we have to prepare- Rev turns to see Tech-Talking about getting ready. Could you make any good strategy yesterday? -
-A 4 or 5, it was easy to make them the difficult thing is for leeches to understand-says Tech watching Rev-I hope they do it before the season. Will you go to any of the matches? -
-Of course, I planned to go see Lexi in her cheerleading routines but now I have another reason, go see my friend Tech-
-Sounds like a good guy, do I know him? -
-I don't think so, unless you know a coyote who throws balls in any direction and also grabs dirty dishes to poor helpless roadrunners-
-You will never forget that, right? -
-Nop hahaha, I think it's our personal joke-
-I think so-Tech says with a half smile-Well there is my motorcycle-
They both walked towards the motorcycle and Tech took two helmets from the back of the motorcycle, one for Rev and one for him. Both helmets were placed and got on the bike, the roadrunner hugged the coyote's waist causing a blush in this and then they left the place.
(...)
Rev rested his head on Tech's back as he looked at the colored spots that were buildings, houses, shops, trees, people and other vehicles. Rev always loved speed but didn't understand why it was different when he was with Tech "Will it be speed? Motorcycle? Or ... He?" Rev thought that but then shook his head thinking that that couldn't be the reason Or could it? Tech drove more calmly than usual since no red signal had been skipped yet, which was a miracle but after all this passenger was special. For both of them the trip was eternal although they did not mind being like this for all eternity.
(...)
After about 10-15 minutes the motorcycle stopped in front of an arcade, Tech got off first to help Rev do the same. Rev took off his helmet and saw the place with a gleam in his eyes as he looked at the lights that were visible from the door of the premises.
-Do you like the surprise? -Tech says something nervous that Rev did not like his idea -If you like it we could go somewhere else-
-You joke-Rev says with his eyes bright with emotion while watching a nervous Tech-It's perfect, I love video games-
-Did you really like it? -Rev nods quickly as if it were a little boy promising not to behave badly in exchange for a new toy -I'm glad you liked it, I have thought that from here we could go to the ice cream shop before to take you home and be able to talk a little, do you think so? -
Rev nods again with the difference that this time he takes Tech's hand and drags him into the arcade-Come on, we're wasting time-
The coyote lets out a laugh as he lets himself be dragged along the roadrunner so he can start with his "friends date", while the coyote exchanged money for chips, the roadrunner saw from one place to another that I sell to play first, he decided to play a racing game to see which of the two was the fastest.
-Are you ready to lose Runner? -Tech says while riding the game's motorcycle.
-That I would have to ask Coyote-Rev says as he repeated the action of the coyote.
-You are fast with the legs but I am on the wheel-He introduced a chip in the game and put on the virtual reality helmet so that the screen came out "Player 1 ready".
-I'll make you eat those words-Rev says when putting on his helmet, and he saw "Player 2 ready" -I'm a roadrunner after all-In the game you read the words "On your marks" -What do you think of a bet ? Whoever loses invites ice cream-
"Ready" was seen on the screen-I accept-
When "Boot" appeared, the two began to play, they were good at the game considering they went head to head, dodging obstacles, accelerating and trying to overcome the other. Rev was winning and Tech was trying not to look bad in front of his love but unfortunately he got distracted seeing the beautiful profile of the bird causing him to crash and lose. When the coyote realized what happened, he could only read the words "Game over Player 1, Congratulations Player 2!". After that the virtual reality helmets were removed.
-I only have one thing to say-Rev says to Tech-I would like an ice cream with dulce de leche, chewing gum and tramontana, with caramel sauce and colorful sprinkles-
-All right you won it-says Tech watching his bird which was doing his victory dance -What do you want to play now? -
Both played for an hour and little to various games such as:"Loonatics on Ice""Attack of the Fuzz Balls""The Cloak of Black Velvet""Stop the World, I Want to Get Off""The Menace of Mastermind""Secrets of the Guardian Strike Sword""The Hunter", among others.
When they were about to leave the roadrunner saw "Dance Revolution" and could not resist playing it. Rev chose the hardest and fastest song on the machine. The roadrunner stretched his muscles before starting something that the coyote could not help but imagine that other aspects would be this elastic and flexible the roadrunner. Rev danced and danced captivating all the nerds that were present in the arcade, this caused Tech to think "Only I bring a boy as attractive as Rev to the paradise of the virgins after the stores and comic conventions" Tech sighs "Well at least none of them is a threat to me "After that he kept watching Rev dance until a sign came out on the screen that said" 100% Perfect Level: Born to dance, God of dance ". The applause did not wait and Rev bowed.
-Thanks thanks-
-Very good "God of dance" -said Tech as he approached Rev, running his arm around his shoulders to make it clear to the nerds that he already had someone, someone who could break anyone's face -Are you ready for your ice cream? -
-Of course, you pay after all-
-You will see when I have my revenge-
-We'll see that-Both laughed and left the place to go to the ice cream shop.
(...)
They stopped in front of one of the ice cream parlors in the city and repeating the arcade scene, Tech helped Rev get out of the vehicle. Both entered the premises and saw that it was almost empty, only with the exception of an adult couple and their little one at a table, a group of 5 women of about 30-40 queuing behind a group, and finally that same group that was formed by pre-teenagers who were at the counter asking for their ice creams and then sitting at the table next to the counter again turning their backs on Rev, a group that Rev was quite familiar behind but thought it was just his Print.
As a good gentleman, Tech told Rev to take a seat while he went for ice cream. Rev took a seat at one of the first tables that came in, one near the window while he waited for Tech who was queuing behind the women, he was quiet looking out the window when someone touched his shoulder causing him to turn to see. Great was his surprise when he saw his younger brother standing next to him.
-Rip?What are you doing here little brother? -Rev asked with a smile on his face.
-The boys and I came for something sweet-Rip says in his typical selfless tone of voice as he pointed to the table where Tweetums, Sylth Vester and Arthur Chroniker were (Rip's newest friend and grandson of one of Acme High's history teachers, Dr. Fidel Chroniker), who turns to greet Rev.
Rev returned the greeting and returned his sight to his brother -I'm glad you have more friends little brother, you're already a big boy-
The Runner's boy's cheeks turned red-Rev, sometimes you look like mom and that's embarrassing-
-I just want to show that I love my brother that's all-
-Yes, yes-After that Rip realizes something -Are you alone? -
-No, I came with Tech-
At that moment Rip remembered everything "Sure, today was their appointment" Rip thought "I already thought I had seen that coyote in the row" -The guy who took you home on Sunday? -Rev nods-The same boy who was a violent idiot threatens roadrunner and hits little pigs? -
Rev's cheeks turned red-Well ... yes but he is different from what I thought, that's why I always tell you not to judge a book by its cover-
-Do you mind if I know your prince in shining armor? -
-He is not my prince-Rev says with his face completely red -Fine, but promise me you won't tell Dad who he is, not yet at least-
-Okay-After that both hear a familiar voice.
-Here you have your Rev ice cream, I had them put extra caramel sau ...- Tech to see that there was an unexpected guest standing at his table-Ce-
-Tech I introduce you to my younger brother, Rip-Say Rev pointing to his brother and then point to the coyote-Rip he is my new friend, Tech-
-It's a pleasure- Rip says smiling while pretending not to meet the coyote and extending his hand as a greeting.
-The pleasure is mine-says Tech imitating the lesser roadrunner while shaking his hand.
-Well Rev I have to go-says Rip watching his brother-My ice cream must be melting or being tested by one of my friends-
-Okay Rip-Rev says glad to have seen his brother with his friends-See you at home-
-Bye Rip-
-Yes, bye Tech-He says as he turns around to leave with his hands in his pockets -Oh I forgot, Tech-
-Yes? -The coyote says confused.
-Take my brother home early, but Pa will go crazy, bye bye and enjoy your date-
Their cheeks turned red at the word "date," Rev looked toward the window while Tech sat at the table placing both ice creams on the table.
-I'm sorry for what Rip said-Rev says taking his ice cream -He can sometimes be a little joker-
-No, nothing happens-says Tech taking his spoon and taking with it is a little ice cream-I do not bother at all, seems a good boy-
Rev turned to see Tech with a smile and then whisper a "thank you" before trying his ice cream-Mmmmm is delicious. What flavors did you ask for? -
-I ordered something simple: bitter chocolate, slush mint and cream with chocolate sauce-says Tech and then take some of your ice cream and offer it to Rev-Do you want? -
Rev nodded as he slowly approached his beak to the coyote's spoon, when the spoon came out of Rev's mouth, the coyote heard a "Mmmm ..." from the mouth of the roadrunner who at this time slowly ran his tongue over his beak to clean it up.
-It's a good combination, simple but amazing at the same time-says Rev and then take his own spoon taking some of his ice cream and now offering him to Tech-Now try mine, it's a little sweeter than yours but still It's delicious-
Tech with some shame not only for that fact but also for the scene he witnessed, he put his mouth to the roadrunner's spoon to taste that ice cream of so many colors, when I tried it he proved the roadrunner right, the ice cream was sweet but not as much as to be cloying, it would be a good option the next time I went to have ice cream - It's delicious, something sweet for my taste but I would still choose it again-
-Life is always better with sweetness in it-
-That's a good phrase -Says the coyote looking at the roadrunner -How did you do yesterday as a tutor for your friends? -
-Lexi learned about the materials known to have easily detectable magnetic properties and Danger learned to write magnetism correctly-Rev sighs-I don't blame them at that time they were tired, I will continue helping them until their exam on Friday-
- From what I see is a physics exam with Professor Massive, am I wrong? -
-Nop, you're absolutely right-says Rev while eating his ice cream-I have to teach them to the part about magnetic fields and their equation-
- Do you speak of the equation given by Lorentz force? -
-Yes, that same-Rev sighs-Although the guys have a hard time memorizing it, I think it's because of the fact that yesterday they were tired capable tomorrow it would be easier for them to learn it-
-F = q (v x B), where F is the magnetic force v is the velocity and B the magnetic field, also called magnetic induction and magnetic flux density. Clarifying that both F and v and B are vector magnitudes and the vector product has as a result a perpendicular vector both av and B-Says Tech downplaying what I had just said -That's easy. That's what they can't learn ? -
Rev was surprised at what the coyote had just said and couldn't help saying-Tech, I didn't know you liked physics, it looks like you're amazing to understand the calculations and equations-
The coyote realizing what he had said went white as a paper-Well I ... I have to admit that I like, especially the part of magnetism, it's stupid, isn't it? -
Rev with his eyes closed shakes his head and then opens them to see the serious coyote -It is no stupidity, it is more I think it is a great thing that you are good at understanding magnetism-Rev smiles-Many people already wanted to have that facility of yours-
-You ... Do you really believe that? -
-Yep, now you're going to eat your ice cream before it melts that you're dripping the table and you're going to start feeling proud of the fact that you like physics and magnetism. Understood? -
-Haha yes sir-says Tech laughing-You're really unique Rev-
-You are also unique Tech-
They stared at each other for a long time, that until they felt like ice cream dripped down their hands causing laughter in both. Their talk continued as lively as from that day when they met in the stands.
(...)
When they finished their ice cream they went to Rev's house, luckily for both of them Ralph had still arrived from work and Harriet had gone shopping so they could both say goodbye without any inconvenience.
-Well I think this is the final stop-says Tech once he took off his helmet and got off the bike to help Rev do the same -I had fun today, I hope you too-
-You can bet it-says Rev once he got out of the vehicle without the helmet -I hope it can be repeated, of course if you don't mind-
-At all, it would be a pleasure-
-Perfect then-Rev gave the helmet to Tech-Bye Tech, see you later-
-Bye Rev-Say Tech watching the roadrunner opening the door but Rev stops before getting in and sees the coyote.
-Look at the helmet-
Tech confused sees the helmet he had in his hands and sees that there is something written, the coyote opened his eyes when he sees that the number of the roadrunner was written on the helmet and the drawing of a smiley face -When ...-
-When you went to the bathroom-Say Rev cheerful to then wink at him -That is easier to talk, send me a message to schedule you -
-Sure-Tech says as he quickly pulls out his cell phone and calls the number with the name "My love" and sees a simple "Hello Rev".
Rev laughs and replies with a smiling face and a "Hi Tech" -Now that you have my number and I yours can talk later, send me a message when you arrive at your house so I will know that you arrived well, OK? -
-Okey-says Tech while his tail moved from side to side-Goodbye Rev-
-Bye Tech-
The roadrunner closed the door and unconsciously brought his hand to his heart, without realizing it and not knowing why but he still did. The coyote took the helmet and kissed it where the roadrunner's number was before saving it and embarking on his journey home. When he arrived at his destination, he saw that his parents had not yet arrived so he simply went up to his room and proceeded to tell "My love" that he had arrived well, receiving in response a simple "that is a relief" and then that started a conversation about what they were going to do now, a conversation that followed until dinner time.
That day was born what Rev thought was the beginning of a great friendship, what Tech thought was a ray of hope but what really was born that day was the beginning of a story about something that neither of them had experienced before , something that would make them see life with other colors and feel things they never felt before.
