Chp.3

"Well, I'm getting a Lightning Saix with a smokescreen, strike laser claw, three weasel units, and a tail gun," Leena said to the others, counting off on her hands. "It sure is different from my Gun Sniper."

"No kidding," Brad said drinking his coffee. "So, you two have fun?" He asked casually.

"What do you mean? How much can you really have when buying a zoid? It's entertaining for while, I guess, but-" Bit was interuppted by Brad's calm, cool, voice.

"Bit, never mind," Brad said.

"Whatever," Bit said and munched on an apple. "I still don't know what you mean."

"Hey, what happened to cookies and donuts?" Jamie asked as he petted Nono.

"I dunno. I guess I just got burned out on eating sweets, and not to mention I was gaining some weight," Bit laughed a little. "It doesn't really matter to me though. Food is food ya' know."

"I heard that!" Leena said and took a huge bite out of her pizza slice.

"Man, Nono!" Jamie whined and tried to pull the dog's head out of the toilet.

"No use tryin' Jamie, it's like a man and his beer," Bit laughed and watched Jamie shoot him a look.

The next morning after breakfast, Leena dressed in her black flares, purple spagetti strap shirt, and her black boots. Bit and everyone else had gotten her stuff there already since she didn't have a lot.

A knock came to the door. "I wonder who that is?" Bit wondered out loud and went to answer the door. He looked through the peek hole to the outside world. "Oh, no."

"Who is it?" Leena asked flipping through her magazine.

"Take a wild guess," Bit said.

"Oh, I don't know. Open up the door already," Leena said not looking up from her magazine.

"Okay, but you asked for it," Bit said and opened the door.

"Leena!" It was Harry Champ, a man destin to be a nimrod. "Oh, Leena, I missed you so much!" He hugged her.

She whispered to Bit as Harry blabbed on squeezing her, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You didn't ask," Bit whispered back.

"Yes I did!" She whispered fiercely.

"Is there something I should know about?" Harry was inbetween them suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Bit asked the man destin to be king (god, he says that ten million times in the series.)

"Oh, Leena, did you think about me?" Harry had already ignore the blode warrior.

"Uhhhh-yeah I guess," Leena said, but she thought, "Not in the way you hope."

"Leena, you did think about me!" Harry hugged her again.

"Okay, enough with the hugging," Leena pushed him off of her.

"How'd you know me and Leena were back, Harry?" Bit asked the obsessed one across from him.

"I saw the Liger Zero in the hangar," Harry seemed so proud of himself as he always did.

"How does that autimatically mean that Leena would be here?" Bit asked and watch Harry think for a moment.

"Well, she's always with you-no wait, that can't be because-NOOOOO!" Harry got up and left crying.

"What was that all about?" Leena asked, looking out the window.

"I'll get you for this Bit Cloud! I challenge you to a zoid battle!" Harry yelled.

"How can we fight if you're not in Class S?" Bit yelled back to him as his whale king started up.

"I payed Jack Sisco and his team to combine with mine so with our combined strength, we made it!" Harry was proud of himself. Bit would have said more, but Harry was gone.

"How much do you think he payed Chris, Kelly, and Jack?" Leena asked Bit who still watched where he dissapeared.

"Oh, more than I've ever even seen, I'm sure. With that kid of money, he'd even get Brad on his team," Bit said. A smile grew across their faces, and they started laughing as they walked in. Just the thought of Brad on Harry's team was hilarious.

"What's so funny?" Brad asked as he walked out of his room. They both looked each other and fell out laughing again, both going into their rooms. "Those two are so strange. Maybe we should get them professional help," Brad mused at himself.

Leena got her new zoid earlier than expected. It came on Thursday instead of Saturday, which was good considering they excepted Harry's challenge and were battling today. Jamie, who had become more skillful with computers, had up the system in no time. "Are you going out there too, Jamie?" Leena asked as they ate lunch.

"I have to, the battlemode is 0982," Jamie didn't seem the least bit afraid. In fact, he seemed kind of excited.

"Lets do it, you guys!" Bit put his hand in.

"Yeah!" Leena put her hand on top, and the others reached to put their hands in, but for a moment time stood still. Bit's hand on the bottom, Leena's on top. Something just felt right just then. They both knew but not why. Time came back before they figured it out. What made that feel so right?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I really liked that last part, and I think Harry is soooo funny! I think it'll be pretty awesome next time. I wonder what Jack will think when he sees that Leena has a Lightning Saix too? I can't wait to find out myself! Happy New Year everyone!
