A/N: Hey! I'm glad to see that at least a few people are reading my story. This chapter has nothing to do with the plot of the story, but it explains a couple things that will happen later.
** * ** * **
When Mel and Zack got back to Zack's house, Michael and Reese pulled Mel aside and told her their plans. She agreed to them, but only if she, Zack and Krit could be in on it too. They agreed and they told the other two. They decided to start at 11pm, when everyone was asleep.
* ** * ** *
"Umm," Mel whispered to Zack. "How do we wake up Krit?" They tiptoed into Krit's room and gently shook him awake. They krept out and met Michael and Reese in the kitchen.
They had water and the hair dye packets laid out neatly. They started by dying their own hair. Mel streaked hers crystal blue, shartruce, and green. Zack re-bleached his hair and streaked it crystal blue, shartruce and green. Krit dyed his hair orange and purple swirls. Michael dyed his hair crystal blue and Reese dyed his hair orange and green swirls. Then they went to the X-5es.
They started with Ben and in three hours ended with Kaila. Exhausted, they crashed into bed and slept. They woke up in the morning to a blood-curdling scream. They ran into the bathroom and Kaylin was standing in front of the mirror, mouth hanging open in shock. Her hair, instead of being it's usual dirty blonde, was now decorated with cyrstal blue, shartruce, fusha, neon pink, neon green, purple, green, orange, maroon, and bleached blonde streaks. Ben woke up next and found his hair to have frosted tips with shartruce squiggles. Jace's hair had purple, green, and crystal blue streaks, while Zane's sported red and blue swirls. Johndi's had bleached hair with crystal blue streaks, and Syl had shartruce, neon pink, and fusha streaks. Mark had neon green and crystal blue squiggles and Krisi had neon green, shartruce, green and neon pink streaks. Nathan had shartruce, maroon, and crystal blue swirls and Kaila had neon pink hair with neon green streaks. Morgan's hair was shartruce with crystal blue streaks and squiggles while Alex's had bleached tips with red, green, and maroon swirls. Katie had bleached hair with crystal blue and shartruce curls and finaly, Scott had maroon hair with bleached streaks.
Kaylin was now sobbing hysterically, "I'm a good soldier, why?"
"Because, we were bored and because we wanted to see everyone's reactions," Reese, Michael, Krit, Zack and Mel chorused. Then they burst out laughing at everyone's shocked expressions.
"Mel?" Kaylin asked. "Do I have permission to kill them?
"As long as they are alive when you are finished," Mel said, smiling. Kaylin gave Mel an evil look and stalked away.
** * ** * **
Krit found Kaylin later that day sitting on the top of the Space Needle.
"I'm sorry, Kaylin," He started, sitting down next to her. "It was just so fun. I have an idea. We should skip work and find a way to get back at Mel and Zack."
"Okay."
"You look cute with funky hair."
"So do you."
They lapsed into silence, content to stare off into space. Suddenly, WHACK!!!!!!!! Krit held the side of his head closest to Kaylin, hurt and a question in his eyes.
"For messing with my hair," Kaylin stated simply, then went back to staring off into space.
* ** * ** *
When they got back, everyone had already left. Krit looked in the mirror and saw that the whole right side of his face was black, blue and swollen.
"Wonder where they are," Kaylin commented, snickering when she saw his bruise.
"Probably at work," Krit said, ignoring the snicker. "So, I know this might sound kinda off the wall, but, I read in a magazine that the most tickleish place in your body is the roof of your mouth. Wanna test it out?" He finished, stepping towards her. She didn't protest or back away so he continued towards her. He stopped an inch away and bent down to kiss her softly, his tongue opening her mouth to tickle the roof of her mouth. She giggled and pulled back slowly.
She looked deep into his eyes and said, "That tasted salty," as she licked her lips. Then she leaned in again for more, putting her arms around his neck.
** * ** * **
Michael, Reese, Katie, Mel, Zack, Ben, Krisi, Mark, Morgan, Kaila, Alex, Ben, and Nathan were at the skate park. Zack was showing Mel how to skateboard properly. Unfortunatley it wasn't going to great, Mel had countless scrapes and bruises.
"This is harder than riding a motorcycle," she sald.
"It's okay," Zack said, hugging her softly. "Just try it once more."
"Okay." She took off and when she got to the other side of the half pipe, expertly turned and came back, landing in the exact spot she started in.
"Awesome!" Zack exclaimed, giving her a hug and kiss of congradulations.
"Good job ladie!" Nathan called from his perch on the back of a park bench. Mel smiled and waved at him.
Thanks Nathan!!!!" Mel responded. To Zack she said, "Race you!"
"Okay," Zack agreed. So they put their skateboards under their arms and got into race position. Mark, seeing that they were going to race, ran to where they wer.
"Ready, set, go!" He told them and they took off. They stayed side by side until Mel gave a little spirt of energy and finished a few inches in front of Zack. They toppled to the ground and hugged. Then they sat up, their hands entertwined. They set their skateboards off to the side and listened in on Michael and Reese talking about computers (they were pro hackers).
Mel and Zack decided to have a contest, who could jump to the ground from a higher place. They started with the half-pipe wall. Zack went first, jumping down 15ft. Mel found a higher spot and jumped down 20ft. Zack found a building and jumped off of it, 30ft. Mel found a 50ft building and jumped off, her knees absorbing the shock.
"Show off," Zack whispered.
"Hey, I heard that!" She said to him.
They went back to the group and sat down, mel leaning aainst zack, him massaging her back.
"That feels wonderful," Mel said, closing her eyes.
"Ladie, that was awfully mean, what you did to my hair,"Nathan said, pointing to the shartruce, maroon and crystal blue swirls that were in his hair.
"Hey," Mel replied. "No fair blaming only me! I didn't come up with the idea." Michael and Reese stopped talking. "Two other people did!" Michael and Reese tried their best not to look guilty, but it didn't work. Everyone looked at them and they tried to escape. Unfortunatly it didn't work. The group quickly captured them and tickled them until tears streamed down their faces.
* ** * ** *
Mel and Zack stayed out of it and instead of helping, left on their skateboards, in search of something to do. Mel's skateboard had the word Zero on it and Zack's looked like a bomb going off. They skated down the road and stopped at a cafe. They ordered some coffee and sat down to wait. The waitrees brought it to them a few minutes later and they thanked her politely.
Mel took a sip and said, "It tastes pretty good."
"Agreed," Zack replied. They stopped talking, content to stare into eachother's eyes as they sipped their coffee.
"Skipping work?" A familiar voice asked, startling them.
They looked up to see Original Cindy staring down at them, Herbal and Sketchy behind them.
"May we join you?" Sketchy asked.
"Sure," Mel replied. "Just pull up a few chairs." She gestured to some chairs at the next table over. They each grabbed one and sat down.
"Who are you?" Cindy asked Mel.
"I'm Mel, a friend of Zack and his friends," Mel said.
"And I take it your real name is Zack," she then asked Zack.
"Yeah," He said.
"Who are you?" Mel asked.
"Original Cindy. These are my friends, Herbal and Sketchy." she said, waving at them.
"So, since you are Max's friends, are you like her?" Candy asked.
"She told you?" Zack asked, stunned.
"Yeah, I helped save her life." Cindy replied.
"Yeah, I'm her CO. Mel is the CO of a different group." Zack said.
"There are more than one?" Cindy asked, shocked.
"Yeah, there were 10, but some of them, the first, third and fourth didn't survive. The third are almost all dead." Zack said.
"Oh," was all Cindy replied with. "I wont tell who you are," She said, suddenly realizing that they were very tense.
"How do we know that?" Mel asked hotly.
"Do you think I'd betray Max? never. She saved my life, more than once, I'd do anything to help her." Cindy relpied.
"I believe you," Mel said finally, relaxing noticeably. Zack relaxed too, trusting Mel to be right.
"Where is Max?" Cindy asked.
"She got captured," Zack said. "Helping take down Manticore with Krit, Syl and me. Krit and Syl are also like her. She got shot and I got shot. She almost died, but they gave her a heart transplant. They made her think that the heart she know has was mine, and I died to save her. I escaped a cople weeks later and came here, where I found Mel and her group."
"Uh, I'm lost," Sketchy finally said.
"Good," Cindy replied. "That makes sense," She said to Zack. "How can I help?"
"San you monitor comm. links well?" Mel asked.
"Sure," Cindy said.
"Then you can help us when we go to rescue Max," Zack said.
"Anything I can do to help," Cindy replied, ecstatic.
"Okay, when you get off work, come to this address," Zack said, handing her a slip of paper with his address on it.
"Aiight," Cindy said. "Well, we gotta bounce, before Normal fires us." They got up, put the chairs back and left.
Mel and Zack finished their coffe and left for Crash, to cdance and meet up with Nathan, Scott, and Mark.
