Written in the Stars: A Destined Romance

Chapter 14: Kiss and Make Up

Agent N was waited outside the door of the kitchenette where Elle and X were drinking coffee and waiting for their next assignment. X was reading an extraterrestrial newspaper as Elle flipped through a folder that might possibly contain information about the creature that had paralyzed X. She couldn't shake the feeling that those creatures had lured them there and she HAD to find out why.

N took a small vile filled with light pink liquid out of her jacket. She stared at X's coffee, she hated to do this to her green honey bunny, but it was for his own good. She waited until Elle got up and walked over to get some more coffee from the pot behind her, then she slipped in and emptied the vile's contents into X's coffee. X had his face buried in the paper so he didn't notice.

N quietly snuck back out of the room as Elle returned to her seat, she too had failed to notice N.

A moment later, X took a sip of his coffee. After about two minutes, he drank it all. Perfect…only a few more seconds until…

Elle glanced up from the papers strewn out before her. She paused---then burst out laughing.

"What?!" X asked, looking up from his newspaper.

"You-you're PINK!" she cackled.

"WHAT?!" X leapt to his feet and caught a glimpse of himself in the shiny surface of the refrigerator door. "Aaahh!!!"

Elle was literally ROLLING on the floor! "Pink is SO not your color X!"

"YOU!" He spun around with a clawed finger pointed at his partner on the floor. "How could you do this to me?? It's NOT funny!"

"Me? I didn't do anything!? Elle managed to say.

"Oh, just like the whole turning me into a human and making my ears invisible thing wasn't YOUR fault?!" X shouted, he was infuriated by his horrible light pink skin, he looked like a warped piece of cotton candy!

"No! You had those things coming to you!" Elle retorted, "You're always insulting humans and putting me down-"

"But I never turned you PINK!" he shouted.

"You've dyed my hair every color in the rainbow!" she snapped.

X was fuming, this was the last straw! She wasn't going to get off easy after this. He'd get her back…AND GOOD!

"Hmm…I don't think I've tried latté brown yet!"

"You wouldn't dare!" she screamed, backing up.

N snickered out in the hall as she peered in, 'this was getting good!' X would be hers in no time!

Elle shrieked as her partner dumped lukewarm coffee ALL OVER HER HAIR!

"X!! YOU ARE SO DEAD!!!"

X chuckled, "That's a pretty good look for you! Distracts from that ugly peach skin and your wet hair covers up those little ears!"

Elle glared at him, "With those HUGE ears of yours, I'm surprised you haven't picked up any radio stations!"

"Like you're one to talk, Beady Eyes!"

"BUG EYES!"

"Inferior species!"

"Long nosed freak!"

"TAKE THAT BACK!!"

"MAKE ME!!"

N was ready to burst, this had worked out better than she had planned. X looked ready to strangle Elle! He'd never want to see her again after this!

They were in each other's faces by now, screaming threateningly at one another. Then---things suddenly grew quiet. Had they killed each other?

"Oh no! My green honey bunny!" N gasped as she spun around and entered the kitchenette. She gasped again at what she saw…Elle and X, in each other's arms! Kissing! What had went wrong?? They'd been in a rage a second earlier! Now they were kissing in the kitchenette with their arms flung around one another in a tight, unbreakable embrace!

"No!" N screamed, they didn't seem to hear her. She turned and fled down the hall. What had she done?!

X and Elle reluctantly pulled themselves apart from each other. Each stared at the other as they caught their breath. 'What had just happened?'

Elle watched as X's skin turned back to it's usual shade of green. Neither of them felt angry anymore…they were just---confused.

"Um…" X began.

Elle got a hold of herself and grabbed her partner's tie, "X, if you tell ANYONE about this, SO HELP ME---I'LL KILL YOU! Got it?!"

"Got it." X stammered. Elle was so confusing. One minute she was wrapped in his arms---kissing him like there was no tomorrow, and the next---she was threatening his life! HUMANS!

Elle turned and picked the folder and papers up off the table. "I have to go wash this stuff out of my hair," she said as she passed through the doorway.

X watched her leave. Confusing or not---he had to admit that he wouldn't want her any other way.
