prologue: now that the blitz team is in class s, battles are less frequent. all 18 year olds must go to college, and all of our characters meet up at zoids academy, the school doc, oscar, and dr. leyon attended. zoids academy is a school that deals mainly with the anatomy of a zoid, the zoids battle commission, and practically everything to do with zoids. since most team bases are located in the desert, commute would really stink, so the college students must live on campus. after bit, leena, brad, and the others have settled into their new homes, classes start. let the fun begin!!

-Leena's Dorm, 7 AM Monday-

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

Leena pounded her alarm clock's sleep button a couple of times before it turned off. Yawning, she got out of bed and stretched her arms out. She had been in college for only a day so far, and it was new to her. She looked around the room she shared with Naomi. Someone really must've hated her to make her roomies with Naomi.

Leena walked over to her dresser and started picking out some clothes for the day. Today there would be a welcoming banquet and a tour around campus. After picking out a purple tank top and khaki capri pants, she went to go take a shower. The showers were located at the end of the hall, so Leena gathered all of her toiletries before leaving. As she walked towards the door, she found a slip of yellow paper on the floor. It said:

The Zoids Academy 14th Annual Welcoming Ball

Time: Friday night at 7:00 PM - 11:00 PM
Why: Students are allowed this time to get to know one another.
Please wear formal clothes to the ball. There will be refreshments and dancing.

Leena sighed. 'This is great,' she thought, 'now i need to get a dress...not to mention a date...' Leena dropped the paper on the desk, making sure Naomi would be able to see it. She then walked out of the dorm and made her way to the girl's bathroom at the end of the hall.

--------------------

Bit had been rummaging around his luggage looking for his toothpaste for 20 minutes. He hastily pushed bags and boxes aside as his roomie, Kirkland, yawned. "Found it!!" Bit then ran out of the door with his toothbrush and toothpaste, but not before he bumped into someone.

"OW!!" It was Leena.

"Oops, sorry Leena. I wasn't watching where i was going." Bit was careful to be nice to Leena, or else she'd pulverize him in public. But to his surprise, she was being nice.

"That's okay, Bit." She looked at his toothpaste and toothbrush. "Headed to the bathroom?"

"Yeah." Bit's voice was a little weak and scared. He didn't want anything to do with Leena and bathrooms, especially flying bathtubs. He quickly changed the subject. "So who are you rooming with?" He asked as Leena frowned slightly and sighed at the question.

"Naomi. She's been okay since we first got here, though. What about you?" Leena looked at Bit's door, but it was closed, so she couldn't see.

"Some Fuzzypanda guy. The leader one."

"It's Kirkland, Bit. I bet you guys got off to a good start." Bit didn't answer. "Did you see that crazy notice?" Leena asked, her voice had a hint of anger.

"Um...not really." Bit didn't really care. College was getting off to a pretty good start, and some little notice couldn't ruin it.

"Something about a crazy dance or something. It's gonna be weird trying to find a date since we just now got here." Leena said the last part as she looked at Bit. Nope, nothing.

"Oh." Was all he said. "Well, I gotta get to the bathroom, seeya later, Leena." He started heading to the end of the hall, waving to Leena with his back turned to her.

"Yeah, seeya later..."

--------------------

-Leena and Naomi's dorm, 10 PM Wednesday-

"Ugh. This is so frustrating!!!!" Leena shouted into her pillow. She was alone in the room she shared with Naomi, and her feelings were confusing her. She liked Bit, but every time they were alone, and she expected him at ask her to the dance, he didn't. Leena wasn't sure that he liked her, but she was feeling sad that he wasn't asking her. It wasn't that she couldn't get a date, 2 guys had asked her so far. The problem was that she didn't want to feel sad about not being asked to a dance by a boy. It just wasn't her style.

"This sucks!!!!" She screamed as Naomi happened to walk in the door. Naomi gave Leena a strange look and cautiously moved toward her side of the room. She'd seen what Leena did to Bit, and she wasn't afraid that she'd be Leena's next victim, but you can never be too sure.

"Um...what sucks?"

Leena sighed. "Hi Naomi. Nothing. Just this." Leena tossed the dance notice to Naomi. It was torn in certain places, and Leena had balled it up. Fortunately, Naomi had already seen it.

"What about the dance?"

Naomi and Leena were getting along quite well, and they weren't fighting as much as they used to. "Oh, I don't know. Just having to get a date, and all this formal stuff."

"...and...?"

"I don't know. It just sucks." Leena sighed again into her pillow. "Are you going with anyone yet?" Naomi could just make out Leena's muffled voice.

"Yeah. I don't see what the big point is about the dance, though." Leena ignored Naomi's last sentence.

"Who are you going with?" It better not be Bit. Period.

"Brad." Brad had asked Naomi earlier that day, which, Naomi had hoped for since she read the notice.

"Even Brad has a date."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing. Nevermind."

-Zoids Academy Cafeteria, 12 PM Thursday-

Jaime had been wandering around the cafeteria with his lunch tray, trying to find a place to eat his lunch in peace. Even though Jamie wasn't old enough to attend Zoids Academy, he had found a job in the enormous Zoids Dome as a technician. Since there was no more Blitz Team for now, he figured he'd find something to keep him occupied, other than getting worms for his dad's fishing journeys.

"Jaime!!!" Leena ran up to him. "What are you doing here?"

"Hi Leena. I work in the Zoids Dome, and i decided to eat lunch here today. What have you been up to?"

"Oh, nothing really. Just having a good time here on my own. It's pretty fun. Can i have some of that?" Leena pointed to the tuna sandwich on Jaime's tray.

"Uh...sure, Leena." Jaime sighed and smiled at the same time. Just like home.

----------

Meanwhile...

"So, do you think I should ask her?" Bit was watching Leena as she ate half of Jaime's sandwich in one bite. Brad was sitting across from Bit, drinking coffee as usual.

"Sure, whatever." Brad took a sip from his cup.

"Gee, thanks Brad. That helps. I want to ask her, but I don't know how."

Naomi walked up to the table and sat down next to Brad. "How about a 'Do you wanna go to the dance with me?'?"

Bit sighed. "You guys are no help." He made up his mind. He was going to ask Leena to the dance, and he was gonna do it now. "Wish me luck." Bit got up from his chair and started towards Leena and Jaime.

"Break a leg, cowboy."

----------

Back to Leena and Jaime...

"I got to check out a whole bunch of different zoids everybody has. I think you'll like it, you get to check out everybody's components and..."

Leena was listening intently to Jaime talk about his new job. He seemed to like it very much. She felt a small tug at her shirt. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw Bit at her side.

"Hey Jaime. Can I borrow Leena for a second?"

Jaime seemed a little disappointed that no one would be listening to details about his great new job, but agreed anyway.

"Yeah, I'll go wait over there." He pointed to the condiments. "Bye."

Bit made sure Jaime was out of an earshot of him and Leena before he started.

"Can we walk?" asked Bit. "Sure." Leena was feeling a little nervous and scared. Maybe he was going to ask her now. Leena could barely think. All she could do was curse the butterflies in her stomach.

"So, what's up?" Bit strolled along with his hands behind his head. He looked casual, but he sure as heck wasn't.

"Nothing much, just school and stuff."

"...yeah...that's...cool..." They traveled around the whole cafeteria two times before Bit got fed up with his being a coward.

"So, got a date for the dance yet?" Leena almost jumped since he had interupted the silence with the very question she was hoping he would ask. Well, not the very question.

"No, not yet...What about you?"

"Nope..."

Silence.

And more silence...

...and more silence...

until...

Bit sighed at himself and turned to Leena. "Look, I'm being a total idiot. We've gone around the cafeteria 5 times without saying anything."

Leena looked at Bit, confused and startled at the same time. "What are you talking about?"

"Come on, I know how to solve this whole 'don't have dates stuff' We can go together." That was Bit's way of getting around the whole "Wanna go to the dance with me?" He didn't want to sound like a last resort, but he didn't want to sound stupid either.

Leena's heart skipped a beat, then more, then some more. He asked her, just like she had hoped! 'Better answer before he gets scared and runs away.' Leena looked at the floor, away from Bit's eyes.

"Bit..." She had a hard time saying his name. She was really embarrassed. "I..I-"

Bit felt that she was going to turn him down. He panicked.

"Come on, Leena. It all works out. I can't get a date, you can't get a date, it all makes sense!"

Leena's happiness soon replaced by anger. you can't get a date... What the heck was that supposed to mean? Did Bit think that Leena was just some loser that couldn't get a date? Leena didn't know the answer to these questions, but she wasn't going to let ANYBODY get away with something like that.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN CAN'T GET A DATE?!?!" Heads turned.

"Hehe, Leena? Let me rephrase that..."

"DON'T EVEN TRY, BIT CLOUD! I CAN SURE AS HECK GET A DATE BY MYSELF THANK YOU VERY MUCH. AND NOT AS A LAST RESORT!!" Leena turned on her heel, eyeing some guys nearby. "Just watch me."

"But-"

Leena walked up to a group of guys. She noticed that one was Kirkland. Perfect. Bit's roomate would do well...
