Sam and Spyke walked down the sidewalk, neither with anything to say. Peppercat and Cyandog trailed behind them. Samantha looked up. "Hey, Spyke?"
Spyke looked up at Samantha. "Yeah, Boss?"
She laughed. "Will you quit calling me 'Boss,' already?"
"Right..."
"I was just wondering... Have you ever loved anyone?"
Spyke went a bright red. "Huh?"
She stopped and repeated, "Have you ever loved anyone?"
Spyke blinked a few times, then the color returned to his face as he continued walking. His cheeks were still reddish. "Not really, no." Samantha sighed. Spyke blushed a little more. "Why?"
Samantha blushed, this time, more than Spyke had. "No reason, I guess. Just... Wondered."
Peppercat looked at Cyandog and spoke in a hushed tone. "Are you confused, too?"
Cyandog crossed his arms and nodded. "Moreso."
"Okay."
Spyke thought for a moment. "Well... I don't know."
Samantha looked at him again. He wasn't really looking at anything. His thoughts were on other things, memories. She sighed.
"Boss?"
Samantha looked at him and almost laughed again.
"Er..." Spyke saw her amused grin. "Samantha?"
"Yeah?"
"I think... Maybe... I have been in love."
"You were?" She smiled and teased playfully. "When?"
"I guess as long as I can remember..."
Samantha's smile faded and her curiosity grew. Spyke looked down at the ground.
"I think..." He looked up at her once, then he quickly looked at his feet and the path. Realization suddenly hit Peppercat.
"Cyandog," the little cat-like medabot turned toward the blue dog-like medabot. "Spyke needs a push."
"You want me to push him?"
"It's a figure of speech," Peppercat explained patiently. "He needs your support. And mine and Samantha's would help, too..."
"Oh..." Cyandog looked at his medafighter. "You can do it, boss!"
Spyke registered Cyandog's reassurance. "What I mean to say, Boss -"
Samantha grinned and seemed to be tsk-ing, but didn't say anything.
"- Sam..."
Peppercat was getting anxious. "Go on!"
Samanthas curiosity was rising. Spyke stopped and tensed, his eyes pinched shut, preparing for the wrath of Samantha's rage. "I think I love you."
Samantha's recent smile faded, and she stood in shock, open-mouthed and looking at Spyke. She couldn't decide weather he was serious or not, and moreso, she couldn't decide how to react. Spyke slowly opened one eye to see if her fist, or her flat hand, was about to strike him. To his amazement, she was stunned, not upset in any way.
Hearts would have filled Peppercat's eyes if they could, and she clasped her hands together, crooning about the sweet scene she had just witnessed.
Cyandog's metallic legs had lost their strength, and he fell down on the small pebbles that covered the path. The enormity of the situation hit him like an iron.
Samantha blinked a few times, her eyes falling to the path and the scene around her. If she was anyone else she'd been laughing at Peppercat and Cyandog's reactions. In fact, if anyone else were here, they'd have burst out laughing at Spyke's statement. But then, why couldn't she laugh? It had to be a joke, obviously. She and Spyke were friends, no more.
Spyke stood, waiting for Samantha's reaction. She began to laugh, quite loudly and firmly. He kicked himself inside. Of course Samantha wouldn't have felt the same. She couldn't. She'd only loved two people before. One was a great medafighter, and the other was a popular soccer player. Spyke couldn't compete with Koji's medafighting skills or Nathan's looks. His heart sank.
Samantha crossed her arms behind her head. "Good one, Spyke. Well, I gotta get home. See ya!" Samantha blinked several times, then ran to catch up with Samantha, utterly confused.
Spyke fell to the ground, strangely looking exactly like Cyandog. His thoughts were running like wild. He suddenly hated himself. How could he risk his friendship like that?



Okay, I know I left off in a cliffhanger, but I think that's the style of this fan-fic. I dunno why. But anyway, I have a bigger end-of-chapter note on the next chapter. This chapter was for Samantha's reaction to Spyke's name, and for the third chappie. But I'm not telling! ^-~ Ya gotta read! Next chappie is an explanation of why I'm writing the fic, and just plain having fun. After that is the main basis of the fic.

Most important thing of all. Everyone together, now!
Sam, Spyke, Pyro, Sammy, (Pyro and Sammy are from Millenium Children - A sequal to Sam's Tours - A fic my BFF - JessieHeart - wrote) Peppercat, Cyandog, Fyre, (Fyre is Pyro's medabot) Karin, Koji, Neutranurse, and Sumilidon all togehter...
DTT-chan does NOT OWN MEDABOTS or ANY of the characters used in this fic!!!
DTT: Wow, that worked well. Hey, Jess, you get a free gomp. Choose well, grasshopper. It's either kindhearted, competitive Koji, or strange and misunderstood Spyke. You have 1 second to glomp before I make 'em all go away.
JH: That's not fair!

NEXT time on DTT's ranting...
Why did she brink Sam & Spyke's kids from her friend's story, but not Karin and Koji's?
WILL the great infamous JessieHeart be able to glomp someone, or will she have a nervous breakdown?
All these questions MIGHT be answered next time in DTT's rantings!
