The Next Day...

"Alright gentlemen," Saraline addressed the two boys with closed. "I found a WP in the playground and it's making the normas who see it go crazy. Our mission is to find it and destroy it." She briefed the two about their mission. "Any questions?"

"I have one." Ansi said, raising his hand. "What type of Wayne Phenomena are we facing this time?"

"I-I-I d-d-don't know Ansik-" Saraline stuttered but she managed to get a hold of herself after almost calling her crush by a name she only said privately as she remembered her older brother's words from their conversation yesterday.

"Just try to tone it down around Ansi for the time being. He is going through a rough after his first rejection, so no over the top affection."

Taking a deep breath for a moment, the young tech expert of the team continued. "I don't know, this looks like a completely new one." She said as she closed her eyes and quickly, if not abruptly turned around to face the screen so her brother and her turned crush couldn't see her face turn a bright red.

"Are you okay, Saraline?" Ansi asked as he attempted to put a hand on the young girl's shoulder and turn her back around to get her to face him.

"FINE! Just totally fine!" Saraline screeched out as she instinctively batted her crush's hand away, making him flinch back a bit as she chuckled nervously. "J-Just g-g-go d-down to p-playground with Olly and I'll be d-down there s-shortly!"

"You s-"

"Yes I-I'm SURE!" The young girl screeched the last part.

Before Ansi could say anything else, he was quickly grabbed by the arm by Olly and was dragged out of the room by him. "C'mon Ansi, we've got a WP to stop!"

Looking back at his flustered sister and making sure Ansi didn't notice, he mouthed the words "Get it together, Casanova!"

She mouthed the words. "I'm trying my best, brother! It is reeeeallllyy difficult!"


As Olly and Ansi were running down the hallway, the latter asked the former something that's been on his mind, "Hey, Olly, is Saraline acting weird to you?"

"Weird how?" Olly asked.

"C'mon, Olly, you clearly saw how she was acting." Ansi said. "Is it because of me?"

"What?! Nooo!" Olly quickly denied. 'Saraline's just going through that time all girls are-"

"Not THAT kind of weird Olly!" Ansi quickly interjected, blushing at the thought. "Also, isn't she a little young for that?"

"Oh, right, I totally forgot about that, my bad." Olly said, giving his best friend a thumbs up as they continued to run down to the WP's location as they then got into an elevator. "Don't worry buddy. I'm sure Saraline just needs some time to get herself in check. That's all."

Though Ansi wanted to say more, he decided to leave it at that.

"Well, if you say so, Olly." He said, a bit unsure.

As the two friends got into the elevator and Olly pressed the button to the lobby, Ansi began to think to himself.

"Saraline, I don't know what's going on with you! But I definitely know that it had something to do with me given her nervous reaction when I tried to get close to her."

"But the question is... why was she so nervous around me?"

"I'll have to look into that later..."

"Right now, I have a hotel to protect!"

"Afterwards I'll do my best to help you, even if it kills me!"


When the two got to the playground, it was absolute chaos. Most of the kids were googly eyed crazy at the fast WP.

"Oh great, not only is the WP a shapeshifter but it's fast too!" Ansi complained.

"I'll make sure these kids are safe while there like this, you stall the WP until Saraline arrives!" Olly commanded.

"On it!" Ansi said as the two split up.

As Olly was trying to keep the children out of harm's way, Ansi was having trouble trying to find the WP because of it's speed.

"Man, I sure hope Saraline gets here soon." He said to himself as he tried to hit the phenomena with sword... only to miss every single time.

As the boy was knocked down a slide due the WP's fast movement, he coughed up some sand as he glared up at the monster who appeared to be mocking him.

"Saraline, please hurry. We need your help." Ansi pleaded to himself as he got back up before he jumped onto a ladder to engage his enemy once more.


Back into Saraline's room, the young tech girl was massaging her temples.

"Get it together Saraline. The Wayne needs you right now, you can worry about your crush on you know who later." Saraline said to herself as she tried to focus her mind on what was going on in the playground right now rather than her hindering crush on Ansikins before she grabbed the sides of her hair in frustration as couldn't get Ansi off her mind no matter how hard she tried.

She started to pace around the room in a circle.

However, as the young genius was having her "emotional" crisis, she didn't hear the door open behind her as Goodness, the Wayne's ninja and Katherine-Allice, the origami user who finally got her voice back, entered the room.

"Why can't I focus on the mission?! Curse you Olly for making me realize this!" Saraline berated herself.

"Saraline?" Katherine asked in concern.

"I mean it's pretty clear that I like him, but he's going through a emotional phase after Julia rejected him." Saraline pointed out, not hearing anyone but herself at the moment.

"Saraline?" Goodness asked, also concerned.

"I mean sure." Saraline said, suddenly continuing to pace the floor. "I want to hug him and kiss him and hold him in my arms, but why would he or anyone want to love a boring, friendless gadgeteer like me?"

Having had enough, Goodness and Katherine went to one side of the young genius and shouted into both of her ears.

"SARALINE!"

Having both of her eardrums assaulted by the sound of her name cause her to fall to the floor in surprise. Looking up she saw Goodness and Katherine staring down at her in concern.

"Oh hi Katherine-Alice and Goodness. I didn't hear you two come in." The genius said as the two helped her up.

"Obviously, that's because you were worrying your crrruuuussssh~" Goodness said in a sing song voice, causing the genius to blush in embarrassment at the fact the two heard her admit that she had a crush on someone. "So?~"

"So what?" Saraline asked as she raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"So," Goodness said, interested in who the young genius was attracted to. "who's lucky guy who caught your eye?"

Saraline stood silent but the redness on her cheeks spoke volumes of how in love with her crush she was. Not wanting reveal it, she mumbled his name under her breath.

"I'm sorry, what was that?" Goodness asked, wondering who Saraline was crushing on.

"Nsi..." Saraline said a bit louder.

"Who?" Katherine-Alice said, also interested in what Saraline was saying.

ANSI!" Saraline shouted, finally getting her crush's name. "I'm in love with shy, nerdy, neat freaky, Ansi Molina, OKAY?!" She shouted as she finally got that off her chest as tears began to well up in her eyes as she turned away from the two surprised and shocked girls.

After a few minutes of hearing Saraline cry, Goodness embraced her from behind as Katherine then spoke.

"Saraline, if really love Ansi, why don't you just tell him how you feel?"

Saraline wiped away a few tears and stated. "I-I want to, but now's not a good t-time because Julia Wiles, (his former crush), rejected him so telling him now would be way too soon for that." She stated sadly as new tears fell to the floor. "Now I can barely focus on the mission at hand because of it. So, I'm waiting for the right time to tell him."

"Where's the WP?" Katherine asked.

"At the playground, I sent Ansi Wansi and Olly there." Saraline said before she noticed the looks on their faces. "What?"

"Ansi Wansi?" Goodness teased barely being able to hold in her laughter.

Saraline blushed even more as she let out another of her cute nicknames for her crush slip out to another person. "It's... a nickname I call him when I'm alone."

"Well, here's what we'll do." Katherine began, making the two girls look at her. "Since you can't focus, me and Goodness will go to the playground and with the WP. You stay here and monitor us. That way you'll be able to help us without being on the battlefield."

Saraline wanted protested but soon realize that she would be a hindrance because of her crush on her friend is blinding their objective to protect the Wayne because of it.

She let out a sigh of defeat. "Alright, but take these earpieces with you. That way I'll be able to direct you guys. When you get there, give my Ansi and my brother theirs." She said, putting the small devices in the two girls hands as she herself put an earpiece in her left ear.

"Of course." Katherine stated as put her earpiece in as Goodness put in hers before she then ran out of the room Katherine-Alice stayed behind to talk to Saraline.

"Saraline?" Katherine said. "I won't tell Ansi about your crush and I'm pretty sure that Goodness won't either, so if you need our help on that front, don't hesitate to ask."

"Of course." Saraline said, a bit surprised that her friends were willing to help her with something this emotionally serious.

"That being said though," Katherine continued. "I just hope you don't take too long to tell him because silence is painful. Take it from me cause I spent most of my life being mute. Also, I'm pretty sure Ansi will figure some parts of your crush and piece them together. We both know how analytical he can be."

She then walked out of the room, leaving the green long coated genius to ponder her words as she sat down at her chair and began to monitor the playground.

"I need to get my emotions under control before I hinder our efforts to protect the Wayne... even more that is." The genius thought to herself.
