Chp.3

Instead of taking the Liger like when they came, this time they took the jeep. Since there was no road for awhile, they could have some fun. Bit drove really fast. Leena stood up in the seat, held out her arms, pulled her hair down, and yelled "I feel so alive!"

"I've never driven this fast before! Lets make it perfect!" Bit said and turned the radio to almost max. "Woohoo, YE-HEAH! Now we're talkin'!" Eventually, they turned the music down, slowed to speed limit, and sat down again.

"There it is, the Zoid shop. We'll order one with weapons, and it'll probably arrive in a few weeks or so," Bit said and pointed to a big warehouse up ahead.

"So, how did you come about this place, Bit?" Leena asked the blonde warrior sitting next to her.

"Well, I was obviously a mercenary, going team to team, and one day I was with a team that came here to get repairs on their zoids, and the service was really nice. Not to mention, you can get any zoid any way you want if you order. I thought you'd like this place. It's really cheap," Bit said.

"Um-Bit? What teams were you on exactly?" Leena wondered why he didn't say anything about being a mercenary.

"Nothing really special, just ones that paid well, and excepted me for who I was. It was strange though. Most of the teams that asked were girl teams, the Sniper team, the comet team, it goes on and on," Bit spoke as though it was no big deal.

"Bit, you idiot, they wanted you because they thought you were hot," Leena grinned.

"Really, so, Leena, do YOU think I'm hot?" Bit was obviously enjoying himself, playing around with her. Right?

Leena blushed. "W-why are you asking me? I've never even been kissed, never had a real boyfriend. I d-don't know!" She said. He stopped the car.

"You've never been kissed? Never had a boyfriend? Leena, that's impossible. You're way to pretty to have never been kissed. I know boys that would fall head over hills just to meet you," He was staring straight into her violet eyes.

"well, I-uh-" Leena was having a hard time moving her mouth, thinking. A part of her was screaming 'kiss him!' while the other was saying 'are you crazy? This is Bit Cloud we're talking about.'. "Bit-I-umm- "

"Well, ahem- let's go get that zoid of yours," He squeeked a little. Bit started the car and drove the rest of the way to the warehouse.

"Wow, look at all the different types of zoids they have!" Leena marveled as she looked through the lists.

"I told ya' so! C'mon, I'll help you pick one out," Bit walked over to Leena. "Cover your eyes."

"Wha-? Why? What are you doing?" Leena laughed.

"Ancient magic. My dad taught me. Old family secret," Bit laughed. "Now hold out your pointer finger."

"Okay," Leena was smiling the whole time as she did what he told her. "This is so silly. What am I doing?"

"You'll see," Bit said as he guided her hand. "Tell me when your finger feels hot, alright?"

"Alright," Leena continued to move her hand when she felt warm, then hot. "I feel it, I feel it!"

"Okay, open your eyes," Bit said. Leena's eyes fluttered open to see Bit looking at the list. "Ah, a lightning Saix, good choice." Leena laughed surprised.

"Bit Cloud, you never cease to amaze me," Leena said.

"Well, all you need to do is pick out some weapons, and you'll be set," Bit said. After picking out a smokescreen, strike laser claw, three weasel units, and a tail gun, they left together to go back to the base. Leena and Bit had never been so happy. Both were now thinking about that little spark. Could it really be love?
