Chapter SeVeN:The start of something new

In the morning Bit and Rin were sleeping on the couch, Leena was sleeping in, Brad wasn't back yet ( as to be expected ) and, Jamie was up eating breakfast. Dr. Tarus had returned early that morning and Jamie explained everyone stayed up late to watch movies, and that Leena, Bit, and Rin played cards and it got out of hand..thus explains some of the bruises..( He also said that Bit fell down some stairs three times.ha. ha. ) Dr.Tarus read the paper as usual and shook his head at the thought of the pilot beating the bejeezus out of each other over something as simple as a card game. He smiles. It was comical in a certain sense. Jamie eats queitly. None of this was his fault. Why did he cover for them? Because Bit saved him. That's why. He suddenly felt happy. He knew know that he had repaid the favor. He gets up and walks to his ZOID station.

*** NOON***
All the groggy pilots are finnaly up. Leena is heading over to Harry's. " Hey Leena, be carefull! Yu might still- ah hell. He's long gone." Rin says. Bit yawns and smiles. " I'm sure he is too. " Leena says; walking out the door. " Have a hoot." Bit waves; attempting to be funny. Rin chuckles and they go to ask Jamie about their current scedule. They find him. Typing away at his station's computer. " What do you want?" Jamie asks lowly. Rin smiles. " We want to see our scedule." she says. Jamie shakes his head. " No. I'm busy." Jamie says. Rin frowns. Bit is wondering why Jamie is acting like this. Rin leans over his keyboard right in front of him and typed in a few key and the scedule pops up. Jamie blushes. Rin types in their password and the daily scedule appears. " Oh..we do have a battle comming up.." She says. Jamie pushes her side and away from the keyboard. " No please go awayyyy" Jamie says. He is completly red. Bit snickers. " Oh, all right." She says. Bit grabs her hand and they walk off somewhere. Jamie watches. He turns slowly away from them. He can't stand it.

Meanwhile Leena arrives at Harry's place. Harry opens the door. His eyes are squinty and his pupils are dialated. Leena walks in. Harry laughs. " Here this is what is so fun." He hands her something. Leena looks at it. It's a joint. Harry lights another one and puts it in his mouth. He blows smoke in her face. Leena coughs. " Are you going to try it?" He asks. " Harry I don't think we should see each other anymore. I mean, if being with you means; risking brain damage, being paranoid, loosing brain cells, and the risk of being arrested for possesion of Weed, FUCK NO!!!" Leena chucks the joint at his face. She slaps him and leaves. " I have better things to do with my time. You fucked up looser." She says looking back. Harry stands there. He just stands there. And that't it. It was over. Leena was single. And that speacial dance was tonight! What a great time to find out you boyfreind in a pothead and dump him. Leena frowns.

Jamie is interupted by a sobbing Leena tapping on his shoulder. " Where is Rin? I need to talk to her." She asks barely understandable because of the sobbing. Jamie feels sympathetic. " What happened Leena? Rin isn't here.." He says. Leena sits next to him. " I just found out Harry is a pot head and I dumped him and that dance is tonight and I'm miserabbllleeee!!!" She starts to cry again. Jamie puts a hand on her shoulder. " It will be ok, Leena, I'm sure everything will be Ok.." Jamie tries to comfort her. Leena sniffs. " Yeah right. I have no one to go with and worse yet I'm- I'm siiiiinnggggggllleeeeeee!!!! WAAHHHHHHHHHH" She starts up again. Jamie gulps. " I'll go with you Leena. Do you want to go with me?" He asks her. Leena looks up at him. " You are serious? You want to go with me?" She asks. Jamie nods. " Well..I guess soo..but I still can't beleive that this happened!!" She falls into Jamie crying. Jamie pats her back.

Brad arrives back from Rouge Kitty's place. I had the best night of my life. Where is everyone? I hope there wasn't a battle! I doubt it..I hope not..oh boy.. He looks around. His thoughts are intterupted by the door bell. He walks over to the door. " Naomi? What do you want..?" He asks. Naomi smiles. " Oh, I just want to talk to Leena." The red head says snobbily. " I don't think she's in the mood to talk to you so I think you should leave now. OK? OK." Jamie says from behind brad and closes the door on Naomi. Brad turns around. " Oh hey. We don't have any battles today do we?" Brad asks. " Actually.. I can't remember..but I came to see if you were back. Bit had the idea that we should all go out for a dinner tonight." Jamie says. Brad raises an eyebrow. " Are you sure that was Bit talking? That dosen't sound like him at all! hahaha. But that sounds like a fun idea..I mean- if I haft to go.." Brad says. Jamie smiles.
Leena stops her sobbing and Rin pats her back. " It's OK, Leena. Jamie is a nice guy to go with!" She says. " I don't even know if I like Jamie or not!" Leena says. " It's ok..don't worry. We'll all have fun anyways!" Rin says. Leena smiles slightly. " Yeah I guess so..and I am the greatest and best ZOID pilot around! " Leena brags. Bit shrugs. " And plus, we're all going out to eat tonight." Bit says. Leena kicks him. " I don't care about stupid food!" She shouts. Bit rubs his butt. " Yup. She is back normal." Bit says. Leena cracks up. Bit is such a pushover.

*Later*
Jamie is talking with Leena, waiting for everyone so they can walk to the restraunt. " Naomi stopped by. I told her to take a hike. Hope you don't mind I did." He says. Leena looks suprised. " You did that? I mean-- you usualy wouldn't get involved..but you actually did that? For me?" She asks. Jamie nods. " It's not that big of deal- I mean I care about you and everything...so it just seemed.." Jamie stops. Leena has tears in her eyes. She hugs him. " Jamie you care about me? That is so sweet!" She cries. Jamie is really confused. He hugs her back. " You are a nice guy. You really are." Leena says. " Are you feeling alright Leena? I mean it's not like you to say stuff like that.." Jamie says. " But it's the truth." Leena says. Jamie blushes.Leena is wearing her yutaka. " I like your yutaka..it looks great.." Jamie blushes. Leena looks really suprised. " Jamie.."
Bit,Rin,Brad, and Dr.Tarus finnaly show up. Rin is also wearing her yutaka. Leena and Rin greet one another. " Lookn' good sista!" They say in unison and laugh. Of course, the guys are dressed up the best they can with their talents. " All right kids, lets's go eat!" Dr.Tarus says pointing to the door. They pile into a little blue convertible. " Are you sure this classic junker will start?" asks Jamie. " I hope. And all of you should too." Dr.Tarus says. He puts the key in and turns it. Once. Sigh.Twice.Groan.Third time.Mumble. Foutrth time.CURSE. On the fifth time he turns the key the car starts up. " Ah, there we go.." He says. He backs out and starts to drive to the restraunt. On the way there, Leena slides her hand over Jamie's. No one notices. Jamie looks at her. She smiles. Jamie smiles back. He grips her hand.
Jamie feels slightly uncomfortable. But yet he wonders if this could be the start of something new.. " So..Brad where were you last night out so late?" Dr.Tarus asks. Brad turns slightly red. " None of your buisness, Doc." He says. " Oh you were at your girlfreinds than? Hahahah. Very well than." Dr.Tarus laughs. Brad falls anime style. Bit laughs. " Oh yeah that's where he was!" Bit laughs. Rin pinches his cheeks. Leena laughs. Brad shakes his head. " You guys are so..so.." He stops." Ha! He can't think of a word to describe us!" Leena says. " Nobody ever will!" Brad laughs. Dr. Tarus parks the car. ( Well he at least tries..) He bumps slightly into a brand new Lambrigini. " Ooooooo" Everyone in the car cringes. " No one saw that." Dr.Tarus says slowly backing away and parking far, far away from the Lambrigini. Everyone sweatdrops.

Meanwhile back at BDG HQ:

" What! How dare you try to get information from her like that!" Dr.Leyon says to the shaggy blonde haired , now bruised, boy. " It was the only way to get the info..sir.." He stammers. " I don't care! You will not sexualy abuse anyone unless I say it's ok!......We can get sued you know!" Dr.Leyon throws up his arms. " And you also sold weed to that Harry kid?? I should fire you! I said to go make money..and you did.. but still!!!! Well..you did make money..quite a bit..BUT THAT'S NOT THA POINT!" He shouts. The boy looks down. Yu smirks for a second. He is waiting for that promotion. " And..you," Leyon points to Yu. " You start fights and smash up your ZOID? That's Ok..you beat the bejeezuz out of Bit...that's ok...what's not OK is the fact that you DID NOT get Rin back here!!" He shouts. Yu starts to talk but is interuptes by Leyon again, " But I do under stand that you tried..but the next mission is for both of you..kidnap Bit and bring him back here for questioning about that damn Dr. Tarus....and I'll tell Rin that we have Bit and she will haft to come and agree legally to work for us in order for Bit to be released without harm? Sound good?" He asks. The two stare at him. " Yes, sir!"They march off.
