It's getting to the point where I need to write another chapter of this. I'm happy to say that I keep attracting new reviews even though I might have lost some too. I thank those of you who have stuck with me all this time. I'm gonna be in pain for a few days so I don't know how much I'll be able to update. I think I made matters worse. I think my mouth is bleeding again. You say you don't know what I'm talking about? Well, I had surgery on Friday to remove my wisdom teeth. It didn't take long at all, but the after math is what hurts so much. But hey, I get all the chocolate shakes I want, so it ain't that bad. Anyway, hope ya enjoy^.^

"Good work team!" said Doc Toros happily as everyone came back from the battlefield. "I think this calls for a celebration! Why don't we eat dinner early tonight!"

"Sounds great to me!" said Bit. "I suggest hamburgers!"

"Mmmmmm..." said Leena.

"Then I'll get started on them right away," said Jamie, actually anxious to cook this time. When it came to cooking hamburgers, he was the only one they trusted. Jamie's hamburgers always turned out perfect.

"Well, I'm gonna go work on the Shadow Fox until dinner is ready," said Brad as he turned and left towards the hanger again.

"I'm gonna take the Liger out for a run," said Bit. He turned and began to walk to the hanger as well.

"Alright. Just make sure you're back in time for dinner," said Leena. He gave her a quick smile and walked down to the hanger. He got in the Liger Zero and took off into the desert. Bit needed to clear his head. ~You all right?~ roared the Liger.

"I'm fine Liger, really," said Bit.

~Then why are you giving me the silent treatment?~

"I'm not trying to give you the silent treatment or anything buddy. I just got a lot on my mind, that's all."

~What are you thinking about?~

"A lot of things, like my past for example. I can't remember anything except the few parts that have been in my dreams. I never thought about it before, but I really can't remember. And Lance seems to know something, but he won't tell me. I'm also thinking about..."

~Leena?~

"Yeah...wait! Liger!" said Bit angrily. Liger just laughed at him. "You're not supposed to know about that!"

~Everyone knows about it. It's very obvious.~

"Really?"

~Yeah.~ Bit just sighed.

"I don't know what to do. I wanna tell her, but I'm...I'm..."

~Afraid?~

"Exactly. I mean, what if she doesn't feel the same?"

~If you don't tell her, you'll never find out.~

"I know. I'll tell her sometime, I promise." Bit looked at his watch. "Come on Liger, it's time to go back. The hamburgers are probably ready by now."

~Alright.~ Liger turned around and began to head back to the base.

Meanwhile...

Back at the base, Leena was wandering the halls, being bored. She eventually found herself in the kitchen, where Jamie was cooking the hamburgers. They smelled good.

"That's smells great Jamie!" said Leena happily. Jamie looked to her and smiled.

"Thanks Leena. It'll be done in a little while, alright?"

"Okay," said Leena as she left the kitchen. She decided to wander the halls a little. She then found Lance, walking in the opposite direction of her.

"Hello," said Lance.

"Hi," said Leena. She was about to walk past him but he stopped in front of her.

"I've been meaning to ask you something," he said.

"Okay, what is it?" asked Leena.

"I don't mean to intrude or anything, but I've been wondering...do you like Bit?" he asked.

"Well, he's my friend. Of course I like him," said Leena.

"Sorry, let me rephrase that. What I meant to ask was, well...do you love him?" Leena blushed at this and looked a little nervous too.

"W...why do you ask?"

"No reason really. Just curious." He studied her face for a while, realizing that she was blushing even though she was trying her hardest not to. "You don't have to be embarrassed about it. I won't tell anyone," he said.

"Alright. In that case...I...I..."

"You do, don't you?"

"Is it that obvious?"

"Yeah."

"Please, you can't tell anyone, especially not Bit. Please!"

"It's alright, you can trust me. I won't tell anyone, I promise."

"Good, and if I find out you told him, then you'll be in a world of hurt," she threatened.

"Okay, okay, I won't tell. Gee, the last thing I need are injuries," said Lance. They then heard the sound of the Liger Zero being put back in the hanger.

"I guess that means Bit is back," said Leena.

"Hey guys! Dinners ready!" yelled Jamie from the kitchen.

"Alright!" said Leena as she ran in the direction of the kitchen with Lance not far behind. 'This could be dangerous,' he thought to himself.

******

"Dig in everyone!" said Doc. They all picked up their hamburgers and began to chow down on them.

"This is great!" said Lance. "You're a pretty good cook Jamie."

"Thanks," said Jamie.

"Yeah. Jamie's the only one we trust when it comes to cooking hamburgers," said Leena.

"Why is that?" asked Lance.

"Well...let's just say some were less than perfect."

"Hey! I'm a good cook too!" retaliated Bit.

"Oh yeah?" said Brad. "I seem to remember when you cooked the hamburgers. They looked great on the outside, but they were pink and red on the inside."

"Your point being?" asked Bit.

"They were raw, you moron!" said Leena. "I just don't understand how you did it though."

"Leave it to Bit to do the impossible," said Brad.

"Lay off!" yelled Bit. They all laughed for a while before continuing to eat their hamburgers. It was 5 o'clock before they finished. They all decided to sit down and watch a movie and once it ended, they put some finishing touches on their zoids. It was now around 7 o'clock and Bit was wandering the halls.

"Hey Bit!" called Leena. He stopped and turned around to face her.

"What is it?" he asked.

"Well...I just wanted to make sure you were okay. I mean, you did hit your head during battle and you even blacked out for a while. I just wanted to make sure you were alright," she said.

"I'm fine, really," said Bit. There was a certain sadness in his voice lately, even though he did a pretty good job at hiding it, Leena could tell there was something wrong.

"Bit, what's wrong? You seem...different lately."

"Different?" he questioned.

"Yeah. Does this have something to do with your past?"

"Maybe. So what if it does?"

"You know, you can tell me. I can understand how you..." but she wasn't able to finish.

"No one, and I repeat, NO one will ever understand how I feel!" yelled Bit. "You don't know what it's like! You only lost your mother, but I lost everything! You wouldn't come close to knowing how I feel!" Leena was taken aback by this and she was a little angry.

"Why do you have to be such a jerk sometimes?!" she yelled at him.

"Because you always have to pry at everything! You always think you can make it better, well guess what? You can't! You're so darn nosy!"

"Fine then, don't tell me! Just stay locked up in your room all day for all I care! I was just trying to help!" Leena ran down the hall, tears in her eyes, but Bit didn't seem to care...not at all.

"How could you do that?" asked Lance. Bit looked to him as he approached.

"I don't have time to bother with you and your mind games right now," said Bit angrily.

"This isn't a mind game. Leena cares about you Bit and then you go off and do that. What's wrong with you!?"

"Everything! I'm sick of people trying to make this all better, because it'll never be better! And not you, or Leena, or anyone can change that!"

"You've changed...Bit," said Lance, a little disappointed.

"So what if I have? Who cares? I'm going to bed," said Bit. He walked off to his room. Lance just stood there for a second.

'If only he knew. If only he could remember about back then...there's still hope. I hope he comes around though, or this team may be in for a little trouble,' thought Lance. He then walked off to his room as well.

I believe that I already explained why the chapters are shorter than when I started writing them. I'm sorry for any grammar and spelling mistakes that I might have made. I will eventually go though and proof read this one too. I promise. Well, I think I'm fine and I'm hopping that I don't mess up my mouth anymore than I already have. Well, I'm going. Expect the next chapter up soon, cause I already know what's gonna happen. Till then, see ya! Audi^.^
