Hey people! I finally got off my lazy butt and wrote the next chapter! Yay me!

Disclaimers: I don't own Zoids!!! So don't sue me!!! But you can go DIE if you dare use my character Kat without my permission! .

Oh, and to avoid any possible confusion, this chapter takes place after a big time lapse from the first chapter. Enjoy! ~Kitsune-san.

~*~*~*~*~*~

In his dark room, Bit could be seen snoring, half under his sheets, and sloppily laying on his bed with his arms and legs spread in random places, and Leena is seen sleeping peacefully beside him in the safety of in his arms. Just then, the light of the hallway shone through the opening door, and a figure quietly walked in.

"Mmmmm... I dunnnnno... I'll be your king if you pass da potatoes...... Oh noooo.. you gave me too manyyyy.. take'm baaaaaaack......" Bit said waving his arms around the air as he talked in his sleep.

The shadowy figure giggled, then quietly approached the sleeping couple.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

The figure laughed. "Rise and shine, Daddy!"

Bit groaned and slowly sat up with his daughter on his stomach. "Kat..... What's the problem??"

Kat made a mad chibi face and whipped out her pointer finger straight at her father's face. "YOU know EXACTLY what the problem is, Daddy! It's 6 in the morning and you're still asleep! You promised me we would start tomorrow yesterday and now today is tomorrow!!" She succeeded in confusing her father.

"Umm... (sweatdrop) But was it really necessary to jump on me?"

"Yes! Especially since you sleep like a rock and won't wake up unless someone drags you out of bed!"

"Okay okay, but... don't you wanna wait a little longer?.. You know, like until the sun comes up?..."

"NO! You KNOW I've wanted to operate a Zoid ever since I was little! I'm ten years old now, I think I can hack it! And you PROMISED me you would teach me!!"

Tears flowed down Bit's face like a river, but then he finally gave in to his daughter's wish. "Okay... Give me a minute to get up and I'll be right with ya.."

Kat crossed her arms. "Oh alright... But you BETTER not go back to sleep!!"

Bit yawned. "Oh, of course not."

"Good. I'll be waiting." With that she left the room and closed the door behind her.

Bit sat there in the same position with his eyes half closed for a moment, and then fell back and started snoring again as a bubble came out of his nose.

Kat waited impatiently outside for a while, and then she heard her father's snoring. It was kinda hard to miss, considering it was louder than an earthquake and a train wreck put together. She swung the door open and marched her feet three steps in the room. "DAAAAAD!!!!!!! WAKE UUUUUUUUUP!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Dr. Toros lowered his newspaper as Bit walked in the kitchen. "Well, if it isn't Bit Cloud, my favorite son-in-law. You sure look like a ray of sunshine this morning. Why up so early?" he said noting the half asleep look on Bit.

"This is why," Bit said pointing to Kat.

Kat skipped over to Dr. Toros' side. "Morning Grandpa!" she said with a cute and innocent voice.

The doctor put his palm on his granddaughter's head. "Well good morning, Kathrine. How are you today?"

"Great! In fact, Daddy was gonna teach me how to operate a Zoid!"

Dr. Toros looked to Bit. "Oh? What about your mother?"

"She's still sleeping, but it's okay, I know Daddy is a great pilot!"

"That is certainly true. Well, you be careful out there, alright? I don't want anything happening to my favorite granddaughter now."

"Grandpa.. I'm your ONLY granddaughter, and I'll be fine! I'm gonna be a great pilot! Maybe just as good as Daddy! See ya later!" she said jogging out the kitchen.

Dr. Toros' eyes became slits as he grinned at Bit. "Don't have too much fun out there now, hehehe."

"Yeah, thanks a lot..." Bit said sarcastically.

Suddenly Kat's head popped out from nowhere. "DADDY! COME ON!"

"Oh! Yeah! Right! Coming!" Bit said stumbling out the door.

Dr. Toros chuckled and returned his attention to the newspaper in his hands.

BOOMMMMMMMM!

"Huh?..." Brad groaned and slowly sat up from his bed. "Wha.. What the heck is going on?" He sleepily walked out of his room and almost got run into by Naomi. "You heard it too?"

"Yeah, let's go check it out!"

The two ran outside to where the noise was coming from. Brad spotted Jaime standing out in the open and walked up to him. "Jaime, what's going on?"

"Oh, hey Brad. Bit is trying to teach Kat how to operate a Zoid."

"But, Kat is only 10... Don't you think that's a little young?" asked Naomi.

Jaime smiled. "Well, from what I've heard Kat is pretty ready. She literally dragged Bit outta bed this morning to get him to teach her."

Just then Liger Zero came running towards them, then stopped really fast and turned around to face the upcoming Gun Sniper. Brad walked a bit in the direction of Liger Zero and shouted, "Hey! Bit! Some of us are trying to sleep! Keep it down already!"

"Humph. Sorry Brad, but you addressed me incorrectly."

"Huh? Kat? Why is she in the-"

The Gun Sniper's loud mechanical steps cut him off. "Sorry about the noise guys, but Kat insisted I teach her today, right this minute. She also insisted that I take the Gun Sniper, and she take Liger."

Jaime sweatdropped. "Bit sure does spoil her..."

Suddenly, the Liger Zero started shaking as if it were annoyed by something. "Heeeyyy!!! Whaddya think you're doing, Ligeeerr?! Cut it out!!" Kat exclaimed.

"Kat.... That's what I was trying to warn you about earlier when you said you wanted Liger... He doesn't listen to just anybody, and even though you are my daughter, he's still really picky over who pilots him..." Bit said, sweatdropping.

"Interesting.. Well, at least it doesn't go completely crazy like it did in the past," Jaime said.

Kat growled. "I don't care! Even if it takes me forever, I'm gonna pilot this thing right! Furthermore, I will defeat you!!" Kat started chasing Bit with a barrage of missiles, laughing like a maniac with every direct hit.

BAM! "Geez, Kat! Take it easy, will ya?!" said Bit.

"AAAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!!!!"

"Man... I think they should've named her Leena JR..." said Jaime.

Kat was still laughing as she continued to fire. BAM, BAM, BAM, BAM, click, click, click, click! "Huh? Hey, what's wrong with you, Liger? Why won't you shoot?!" Just then Bit's Gun Sniper appeared out of nowhere when Kat wasn't paying attention and took her out with one powerful blow. "HEY! What happened?!.." On Liger's screen read "Command System Freeze". Kat banged her fists against the screen. "Nooo! Liger!! You're supposed to be invincible!"

"Lesson number one: Don't do what you just did!" Bit said. He jumped out of the cockpit and headed to the Liger Zero. He opened Liger's cockpit door and Kat unbuckled herself.

"What's that?" she asked as she was pulled up with the help of her dad.

"Waste ammunition. But then again.. your mom kinda always did that too... Must run in the family, huh?" Bit winked and gave her a light noogie.

"Daaaad..." Kat was somewhat disappointed about losing the battle, but somehow her dad always made things happier for her.

Just then, Leena and Dr. Toros walked out, and Bit and Kat could be seen walking towards them. "Hey!" Leena exclaimed.

"Mom! Guess what?! I got to ride Liger all by myself!" Kat said running up to Leena and hugging her lightly.

Leena saw Bit walking towards them from the distance. She smiled to him and then to Kat. "That's great, sweetie.. Why don't you tell me all about it over breakfast," Leena said as she walked back towards the base, hand in hand with her daughter.

Bit's ears twitched when he heard the word "breakfast". "Breakfast?! Hey, I'm starved! Wait for me, guys!!" he exclaimed running to them. When he reached them, he pulled Kat up onto his shoulders. The others watched them head towards the base, but couldn't quite hear what they were talking about on the way. Then Bit said something that caused Leena to get mad, and she chased him into the base while Kat was cracking up laughing, still hanging onto Bit.

"I'm still debating on whether I think they're the most perfect family or the weirdest..." Jaime said.

"I still and will probably always vote for them being the weirdest," said Brad.

The gang laughed, and soon followed into the base.

During breakfast, Bit was busy stuffing his face with bacon, eggs, and biscuits. Nobody else was eating. Instead they were just staring at Bit. If one were blind they would think a dozen hungry hedgehogs were invading the kitchen. Bit's plate was the largest by far, but he finished it in practically no time. "Hey Leena! 'Nother round over here!" Bit said waving his plate.

"Gimme that!" Leena snatched his plate from him. "You pig. You know, there ARE starving children in the world..." she said putting more food on his plate.

"Yeah, and I'm one of 'em! I bet I could eat ten plates!"

"Here," Leena said putting the plate of food in front of him.

"Alright!" Bit quickly went at it again, as everybody continued to stare.

Leena took a seat next to Bit and looked around. "Hey, where's Kat?"

"Da lash time I saw haw she said she wash goin' to da Zoid hangah," Bit said with his mouth full. You could practically see what he had just eaten as he talked.

"Ughh.. And to think I married you..."

Bit swung his arm around her. "You know I luff you," he said, smacking his food in her face.

A big sweatdrop rolled down Leena's face. She sighed and a little cloud came out.

Kat stood in front of the Liger Zero, gazing up at it. "You'll let me pilot you, won't you Liger?" The Liger growled, and then swung its head to the side. "You don't like me?" The Liger kept its head in the same place and snorted, and she could tell that was a "not really". Kat's expression saddened, but then turned into a determined stare as she made fists. "I WILL pilot you, Liger. Someday..."
