Heya peoples! Thank you all for reviewing my story! I am proud that I'm making everyone so happy with my work! ::big grin:: Anyway, B+L in this chapter, but---WAIT! That would spoil the chapter. Just read to find out what happens.
DISCALIMER: Yo yo yo...I don't own Zoids I just watch the show.


"Those noodles are mine! I found them FIRST!"
"No you didn't! I said, 'Hey look! Noodles!' And then you snatched them!"
"Finders keepers."
"You, Bit Cloud, did NOT find them! I DID!"
"Well, then snatchers keepers. Plus, there's a whole other container right there!"
"But this one has chicken in it!"
"It does? Ooh let me have somma that!"
"Okay fine. Give me those noodles."
"Here ya go Leena."
"Thank you. I call TV!!"
"NOOOO!"
A race to the TV commences, but when the two got to the living room, Brad and Jamie were watching a program. Bit and Leena sighed and asked what the two were watching.
"Some Zoid battles. Naomi and Leon's battling two other Zoids," replied Brad. Leena raised her eyebrows.
"Leon? I can't believe him! Traitor!" Leena turned to Bit. "I think it's because of you that he left!"
"Aww…Leena, do you want me to leave so he'll come back?" asked Bit, putting on his best puppy-dog face. Leena rolled her eyes.
"No I don't want you to leave. Leon wouldn't come back anyway."
"Yay! You don't want to get rid of me! I feel happy!" exclaimed Bit, pretending to be giddy. Leena smacked him in the chest lightly.
"You want a biscuit or something?"
"Nah, I'm good," he replied. Dr. Tauros walked into the living room with a white paper with fine golden lettering in his hands.
"Leena, Bit, can you both come to my room?" he asked. Leena and Bit looked at each other, and then nodded to Dr. Tauros. They followed him through the hallway.
"What is it dad?" asked Leena. Her father didn't reply and Leena got suspicious of something going on. "DAD! What's up?"
"Read this," ordered her father, holding out the paper to her face when he got to his office. Leena jerked her head back so the paper wouldn't hit her. She grabbed it and when she, Bit, and Dr. Tauros were in the office, she read it out loud.
"Dear Blitz Team Members,
We have seen the two Zoids, the Liger Zero and the Gun Sniper Nightmare, in battle. We have noticed that the Liger Zero is an excellent Zoid and the Gun Sniper Nightmare is just as good and just as rare. We have determined that the two Zoids are Ultimate Xs, and we would like to see the two Zoids in an official battle against each other. We saw that the Liger Zero is stronger than the Berserk Fury, but we do not know how strong the Gun Sniper Nightmare can be. Please accept the challenge and go to the desert near the Aroch Mountains. Thank you for your time.
-The Zoid Battle Commission."
Leena looked to her father.
"You haven't entered us, have you?"
Her father scratched the back of his head and laughed nervously.
"Well, the thing is…"
"DAD! You know to consult with us competitors BEFORE you agree to anything!" scolded Leena.
"Aw c'mon Leena! It'll be fun!" exclaimed Bit. Leena looked to him.
"FINE. We'll do it. It's not like we can cancel anyway."
"Okay! Good! We'll head for the mountains tomorrow," said her father.


The blue snail-like Hover Cargo stopped moving on some rocky terrain, for it was now the next night and poor Dr. Tauros was getting tired. Leena was walking aimlessly around due to the fact she couldn't get to sleep. Or actually she didn't want to go to sleep. The previous night, she had that nightmare of her killing Bit again. Although Leena was tired, she knew that she would have it again if she dared to go to sleep. So she decided to walk around. In her hand she held a can of Cherry Coke, hoping for that to keep her up. It was helping only a little.
"Maybe I should watch TV," she sighed, shuffling her feet toward the living room. She opened the door to the living room and collapsed on the couch. She searched around for remote with her hand, and when she didn't find it, she groaned.
"Looking for this?"
The remote was hung over her face. Leena blinked at the small remote and grabbed it.
"Thank you."
"No problem."
Leena turned and saw Bit leaning into the other side of the couch. She waved slightly and then turned and got comfortable on the couch.
"What are you doing up?" she asked, turning on the TV and turning down the volume a bit.
"Funny, I was about to ask you the same question."
"I don't wanna sleep."
"Why not? You look tired."
"None of your business! What are you doing up?"
"I can't get to sleep. Mind if I watch the TV with you?"
"No, go ahead."
Leena looked at him as he jumped over the couch and sat down. He was in only a white undershirt and navy blue boxers. Leena blushed as she admired him. Bit then looked at her and Leena looked away quickly then changed the channel.
"Stupid commercials," she huffed, a blush still painted on her face. Bit smiled. Leena was in soft felt pajamas and fuzzy dark blue slippers. The pajama top was a buttoned up T-shirt and the pants were slightly baggy.
"Why don't you want to go to sleep?" Bit asked Leena again. She didn't reply, and Bit thought for a moment. "Still having nightmares?" Leena turned her head and looked at him. Bit's eyes softened. "What are they about, anyway?"
"I keep dreaming that I'm in my GS Nightmare and I shoot and kill someone close to me," Leena blurted out. She mentally smacked herself. Bit raised an eyebrow.
"Who do you kill?"
"Someone close to the team! Someone on it!"
"Who? Jamie?"
"No."
"Brad?"
"No."
"Me??"
"…"
"Hello…Bit to Leena, trying to make contact here!"
"Yes. I dreamt that I destroyed the Liger with my GS Nightmare and you were killed in the Liger. Happy?"
"Well that's never gonna happen."
"How come YOUR so sure?"
"Because nothing can destroy my Liger!"
Leena had to smile at his cocky nature. Bit repositioned himself on the couch to get more comfortable.
"I'm worried about the battle," stammered Leena after a minute or two of silence. Bit looked to her.
"Why? Are you afraid that Liger will beat you in the first 5.2 seconds?"
"…No, I'm worried about what will happen. Your brother said that the Gun Sniper Nightmare was found in the Aroch Mountains and it might just be the thing that makes my nightmare come true."
"Don't worry about it. Just don't use any attacks called Fatality Force, okay?"
"Why not? What does it do?"
"I'm not sure. Isaac told me about it."
"Oh."
It was silent for a couple of minutes as the two paid attention to the show on the TV. When a commercial played, Bit looked to Leena. She was asleep. He smiled and shut off the TV. He scooped her up in his arms and took her to her room. He laid her in her bed and then stayed in the room to make for a little while to make sure she didn't wake up with a nightmare on her mind.
Leena did have the nightmare again, but this time, she was laughing insanely after she had destroyed the Liger and Bit, and the words Fatality Force were on the computer screen, blinking brightly.
Bit opened his eyes when he heard her breath harder, and when he looked at her, he noticed she was starting to sweat slightly. He shook her and she sat up abruptly, yelping slightly. Bit covered her mouth with his hand.
"Leena, shhh! It's okay; it was just a dream. Calm down," he coaxed as he pulled his hand away. Leena caught her breath and looked at him, tears brimming in her eyes.
"I was laughing!" she wailed. "I killed you and I was laughing! I was happy! I didn't care that I would never see you again! I was happy!"
Bit told her to calm down again and when she continued her wailing, he wrapped his arms around her in a protective hug. Leena shut her mouth up quick. She threw her arms around him as the tears rolled out of her eyes. Bit rubbed her back and they held each other until Leena stopped crying. Leena sniffed and sat up and Bit looked at her.
Before either of them knew it, their lips connected in a kiss. Leena wrapped her arms around his neck and Bit held her again. Leena opened her mouth and let Bit's tongue explore her mouth. Bit held her closer as their tongues danced in the confinements of their mouths.


"You look happy today Leena. What happened?" asked Brad at breakfast. Leena looked at him and raised an eyebrow.
"What? Is it suddenly a sin to be happy in the morning?" she asked, her voice temperamental. Brad shook his head and went back to eating his waffles. Jamie looked around the room.
"Where's Bit?"
"Probably still asleep. Well, thanks for the waffles, Leena," replied Dr. Tauros. Leena nodded to her father and he left to go drive the Hover Cargo. Leena stood up when she finished her waffles. She cleared her plate and then swiftly padded toward Bit's room. She opened the door and poked her head in. He was still sleeping all right. The sheets were oddly wrapped around his body, like he had tossed around a lot. Leena smiled.
She shut the door and thought about the kiss as she headed to the living room. Who kissed who? Did she kiss Bit or did Bit kiss her? She hoped Bit kissed her. She heard the phone ring as she past the driver's room. She stopped to see who it was.
"Hmm? Oh hello Harry!" her father stated when he answered the phone. Leena gulped and then tried to speed off, but she heard the door slide open.
"Leena! Harry's on the phone and he wants to talk to you!"
Leena shrugged in defeat and headed to the room. She picked up the phone hesitantly.
"Hi Harry…"
"Leena! How are you?"
"I'm good."
"I heard from your dad that you and Bit are in a battle! You're against him, right?"
"Yep, that's the deal."
"Well, I hope you do great! No, I KNOW you WILL do great! You'll cream him! You'll kick his ass from here to hell! You'll murder him out there!"
Leena didn't answer. She'll murder him out there? She instantly thought of the nightmare about killing Bit.
"Leena?"
Harry's voice broke her out of her stupor.
"Harry, there's an emergency that I must attend to, I'll take to you later. Bye!"
Before Harry could get another word in, Leena slammed the phone onto the receiver.


"Brad, what's Naomi's number?" asked Leena, walking into the kitchen. Brad turned to her.
"I'm not sure, but it's in the computer's memory. Why? Why do you need to call her?"
"To ask her if she wants to go on a date with you," replied Leena flatly. Brad stood still. Leena smiled. "I hafta ask her if she knows anything about the Gun Sniper Nightmare."
"Oh."
Brad's face looked slightly disappointed. Before leaving the room, Leena added, "If you wanna go on a date with her, YOU should ask. Ok?"


"Hello?"
"Hi Naomi! This is Leena Tauros from the Blitz Team."
"Oh, hi. How's your so-called Gun Sniper?"
"Actually, it's been destroyed."
"Heh, well, I'm not givin' ye mine."
"I'm not ASKING for yours! I already have a new and a billion times better one! It's called the Gun Sniper Nightmare!"
"Mm…Sounds tempting. So what do you want with me?"
"Well, I was wondering if you knew anything about the GS Nightmare."
"I've never even heard of it."
"Aww! Damn!"
"But…I know some people that might know a thing or two about it. Plus I think I can do some research on it."
"Really? You'll do that for me?"
"Sure."
"THANK YOU!!!!!!!"
"No problem. This Zoid better be pretty powerful."
"It IS! It's more powerful than yours!"
"Wow, I didn't expect it to be THAT powerful. How's Brad?"
"He's good. Uh, I gotta go. Thanks again for your help!"
"Any time, I guess. Hey, tell Brad I said 'Hi,' okay?"
"Of course. Bye!"


"Hey, Sleeping Beauty's up," said Jamie, looking to Bit, who had just walked into the living room. He smirked at him and pretended to twirl long hair.
"Well it's hard not to be beautiful with this head of GORGEOUS hair!"
Jamie laughed and Brad chuckled a bit. Brad and Jamie were playing chess again. The door slid open and Leena waltzed in. She looked to Bit and smiled and then sped over to Brad and grabbed his ear.
"OW! Leena! What the heck are you doing?" asked Brad, trying to claw Leena away. Leena pouted.
"You should have talked to her! She was all like, 'So how's Brad? Huh? HOW THE HECK IS HE? Tell him I said HI okay? Tell him I wanna have sex with him too!'"
Brad got away from her clutches and looked to her as Bit and Jamie laughed at her words. Brad looked to them with evil glares and the laughing quickly died. Leena grinned and headed over to Bit.
"I hafta talk to you," she whispered, and them pulled him out of the room. It was silent as the two stood outside the living room, but then Leena spoke.
"About the kiss…"
That got Bit's attention quickly. Leena took a big breath and then continued.
"I think we should keep it a secret."
Bit raised an eyebrow.
"Why?"
"Because I'm afraid of what everybody will think."
"What are they gonna do?"
"I'm afraid they'll tell Harry."
Bit looked surprised.
"So what? Do you like Harry?"
"No, of course not!"
"Well then why do you care if he knows?"
Leena winced slightly at Bit's tone.
"I don't want him to know, ok? Jeez, why is this such a problem?"
"I thought of all people YOU could tell Harry that you like someone else!"
"Well I'm not sure if I like that person anymore if he's gonna overreact like this!"
"I'm not overreacting!"
"Yes you are! Maybe that kiss was a mistake! In fact, I think I'm gonna go wash my mouth out with soap!"
"Good, 'cause I didn't wanna kiss you anyway. You have lips like a piece of sandpaper!"
The two throw insults back at each other, but this is no regular bickering. They are having a full out fight. Eventually, the two storm off.


I'm evil. They were finally getting together, and then I had them mad at each other. ::smacks herself:: WELL, yer gonna hafta wait fer the next chapter to see what happens. This story takes an unexpected twist. Sorry this chapter was so short. Heh heh heh....::bows and runs away::
