Chapter 4: A new and old friend
Author's Note: Sorry but I lost the Internet for a long time, and I had a HUGE writers block. I am terribly sorry. If you want to flame me about taking all long time you can…but not too hard please! Well you probably don't want to read this note and instead you want to read the story. Well go ahead and read! And please review!
YAAAWWWWNNNN!! Bit stretched as he lay on the couch. They've been waiting for an hour for Doc to come into the room, "When is he going to get here? I want to go to bed cause I'm so tired."
"Tired from all the danc'in?" Brad asked with his usual mumble.
"Say what?"
"I saw you. You were with the mystery woman," Brad continuing. Leena's ears perked up at the conversation going on.
"Oh you mean her…..She's just an old friend when I was young. That's all."
"Yeah but you know what they say. First friendship then love, it's the best relationship with someone."
"Why are talking to me about this?" Bit was now sitting up facing Brad. Brad shrugged.
"You two looked so happy together."
"Maybe." Leena just about fell off the couch but grabbed onto the arm of the chair to keep herself from doing so.
"But we're just good friends," Bit said quickly. Leena let out a sigh of relief.
Another 5 minutes later….
"This is ridiculous I'm going to bed," Bit said as he got up. Just when he was passing the telephone thing (Author's Note: What is that thing called anyway?) it started beeping. Indicating that someone was trying to get through to someone. (Author's Note: Duh. Everyone knows how a telephone works.)
Beep-Beep-Beep-Beep"Yo Bit, get that."
"Fine." Bit opened up the window thingy up.
"Bit! Is it okay if I come now!?!" A female voice came to everyone's ears. Everyone looked up to see who it was. A young woman with long braided, dark red pigtails was on the screen.
"Hey Ashley! Why now?" Bit responded to his old friend.
"What! You don't want to come there!" She joked.
"No it's just that, that was really quick."
"Well I'll be there soon!"
"Hey Ashley, do you have a zoid?"
"Yeah, why?"
"Well if you didn't I don't think Doc would let you join."
"When he sees my zoid, he'll want to fire the whole team but me!"
"Yeah sure, whatever."
"Ashley signing off!"
"Same thing here!" With that the connection was disconnected and Bit started out the door quickly.
"Bit where are you going? And what's all this about she coming on the team?" Leena was a bit irritated about another girl coming on the team.
"I promised her that she could come here because she doesn't really know anyone, and I have to go ask Doc permition if she can join the team. See ya!"
"Wait Bit!" But it was too late. He was out the door and down the hall before you know it. Leena let out a sigh.
"Is someone invading your territory, Leena?" Brad smirked. Leena eyebrow twitched, and Brad suddenly felt like he made a bad decision to speak.
"I think I'll go work on my shadow fox now! Bye!" And he quickly left too. Leaving Leena by herself to think of the changes that might happen.
*****
Bit walked down the hall to Doc's office to talk to him about the new recruit. He came up to Doc's office and knocked.
"Come in." Bit walked in and noticed Doc playing with his toys. Bit sweat dropped for a second, he could never get used to the site of a full-grown man playing with toys.
"Hey Doc, I need to talk to you about the team."
Doc face went to a shocked one, "You're leaving!?!"
"No, no you see there's this girl and she is a close friend of mine and I want her to join the team. So what do ya say Doc?"
"We'll see. If she's good enough then I might reconsider."
"She's coming by right now."
"Well what are we waiting for!" Doc got up from his desk and walked toward the garage with Bit.
"By the way, what's her name?"
"Ashley."
"Pretty name."
"Yeah." By now Leena was in the garage waiting for the girl too. About a couple of minutes a Gustav pulled up carrying something. But you couldn't see because of the covering. A young woman came out.
"BIT!!"
"ASHLEY!!!" They ran and gave each other a big bear hug. Then they released and they turned around, Bit put an arm around her shoulder and turned to the others. Leena noticed Bit's arm.
"Guys! Meet Ashley! Ashley meet Doc and Leena! The owners of this team!"
"Nice to meet all of you." Ashley said politely.
Doc went straight to business, "So Bit says that you're a skilled warrior. What type of zoid do you have?"
"I really don't know."
"Wha!?!" Everyone expressed with astonishment.
"I've had this zoid for a long time, and I have asked people what it is but they don't know either," Ashley going through her thoughts. Doc was so anxious to see this mysterious zoid.
"Well let's see then we'll try to figure out its name," Doc said rubbing his hands to together to keep his excitement inside. They took the covering off to reveal a beautiful white cat-like zoid. It was a shining white zoid that looked like a combination of the liger and the lightning siax. Everyone stood in awe at the zoid.
Ashley decided to break the silence, "So do you know what it i….."
"The Genesis." Everyone turned toward Bit who was still looking at the zoid.
"You know what it is?" asked Ashley with astonishment.
"Of course I do, it was your mother's zoid."
"I…it was?"
"Don't you remember?"
"……."
"Ashley?" Bit noticed that she went into deep thought, while she was doing that he was in deep thought as well.
Why doesn't she remember? It was her mother's pride and joy, and my dad's joy too. What happened to her? Bit head was filled with questions.
Ashley snapped Bit out of his thoughts, "For some odd reason I can't remember anything about my mom or your dad."
"I only have bits of memory of them." Bit was trying to comfort her. He gave her an encouraging hug.
"AH-HEM!" They let go and looked at Leena.
"What?" They both asked at the same time.
"This is all very cute but is the zoid and the pilot any good?" Leena asked with an agitated voice.
"Of course I'm good!" Ashley totally forgot about her memory loss and was steamed.
"How do we know that?" Leena was pushing it.
"Leena Tauros! I challenge you to a one on one duel! If I win, I get the spot on the team! I if I lose, I'll get the spot on the team!" Bit sweat dropped, somehow Ashley and Leena seemed to have something in common. But he couldn't put a finger on it, he shrugged it off hoping that he would figure it out later.
"Deal!" Leena ran into her Gun Sniper while Ashley jumped into the Genesis. Bit and Doc got out a couple lawn chairs and sat down ready to watch the match. The two zoids walked out into the open. By now Jamie and Brad came out to know what was going on.
"Hey! What are they doing?" Jamie asked as he and Brad got another lawn chair to sit down.
"Leena was making Ashley mad and she challenged Leena to a duel," Bit seemed pretty calm about it.
"What type of zoid is that?" Brad pointing to Ashley's zoid.
"We don't know but we're going to find out what it can do," Doc was over excited about the whole thing.
"So what are we going to do while they are duking it out, by the looks of it they're staring each other down," Jamie asked examining the zoids.
"I know what I'm gonna do," Bit said.
"What?" everyone asked.
"Ten dollars on Ashley!" He said and slammed down a ten-dollar bill on the table they had out too. Everyone fell down anime style for a second. But they regained the actions.
Doc chuckled, "Leena is gonna win this one for sure! Twenty dollars!"
"Five for me." Jamie said the only one who was playing it safe.
"Twelve." Brad said.
Author's Note: The next chapter will be all action until the end. Who will lose or gain some money!?! Whose gonna win the duel!?! And will Ashley join the Blitz team!?! You have to wait until the next chapter! Bye for now!
