"X!!" Elle shouted at her partner. She couldn't believe this was happening. They had just entered the penguin enclosure when something had scooped her up and now she was dangling upside down roughly fifteen feet in the air. She pushed at the material surrounding her to try to clear her field of vision. Her skirt had flipped over her head when she had been grabbed and her blouse and jacket had come undone as well allowing her to see nothing but black and white. She was suddenly wishing that she had worn much more substantial undergarments that day.

Just then she heard X chuckling. "X, if you don't stop laughing and get me down from here this minute, I swear I am going to kill you!!!! This is not funny!!"

"Oh, I don't know," X called up to her. "It looks fairly amusing to me. Hideous, of course, but it's kind of like a train wreck. You can't help looking! Did you know you have the strangest looking mark on..."

"Shut up and get me down!!" Elle shrieked as she fumbled with her clothes to try to get covered up a little bit. When she got down, she was definitely going to have to kill X no matter what Zed thought. She could plead justifiable alienicide. No one would dare object to that.

Suddenly, Elle felt the thing holding her shifting it's grasp and the next thing she knew she was plummeting towards the ground. She had only a moment to think of how this would look when they scrapped her corpse up before she landed.

Elle let out a strangled moan when she realized she was still alive. She opened her eyes to see that she had landed on X, knocking him to the ground and breaking her fall. 'First helpful thing he's done for me since he got here,' Elle thought with a chuckle just as pink sparkling cloud appeared making her feel incredibly sleepy. A moment later, she was fast asleep on top of her partner.
