Chapter 13; So, what's in the box?
3:40pm, south beach
"So, up for another swim?" Kirsty asked
"What, are you kidding?! After what just happened?!" I said crab-walking back a little way from Kirsty we were right next to the sea and I didn't notice until I put my hand in it, it was icy cold so I quickly jumped forwards again in fear of what happened before "You'll never get me in there again!"
"Well what about the local pool then? That's actually heated"
"Oh no! No more flying or swimming for me! I'm keeping my feet on the ground from now on!" I shouted
"What a chicken…" Metabee said
"Don't pay any notice to him… he's just as chicken, he won't go in the sea either… because he's scared that he's going to rust" Ikki smirked
"Metabee, you aren't going to rust" Kirsty said
"Oh yeah how do you know?!"
"Trust me, I know a lot about Medabots, KBT types aren't the most resilient to rusting-"
"Ha!! See!! I told you!!" Metabee shouted cutting Kirsty off, Kirsty then gave Metabee an evil glare and he soon piped down "Sorry…"
"Yeah, well, there not the most rust proof, no offence"
"None taken" Metabee and I said together
"But then there not easy to rust either, so there's nothing to worry about Metabee, your both quite safe" Kirsty finished explaining
"Glad that's cleared up, maybe you'l come down the beach with me more often now" Ikki said as he gave Metabee a small slap on the back
"Well… err… I, suppose…" Metabee said as he scratched his head "but I get first dibs on the TV, for a week, when we get back of course"
"What, no way!"
"Well then, I suppose you could find someone else to go with, how bout… hmm… Erika?"
"What, no you cant bribe me!"
"Well then I guess it's more exciting adventures for you both then!" Metabee said in an evil way
"Fine you can have the TV for a week, but no soaps!"
"What's so wrong with going down to the beach with Erika?" Kirsty asked
"You don't get it do you? Last time we went down there together she dragged me around all over the place looking for a cave, that 'apparently' had pirates stowing there 'treasure' in it" Ikki moaned
"Let me guess, there wasn't any pirates, treasure of cave for that matter, and she got the rumour form a friend of a friend of a hair dressers cousins dodge ball player? Right?"
"Yeah, how did you know?"
"I've heard it all before as well, I think Mike told me that they were all made up but a big web site, or something like that"
3:57pm, Lime Ave
"AHH!! Mum get off me!!" Kirsty shouted, as she struggled in vain, to get her mum to stop messing with her hair "I'm not a kid any more! This may have been alright when I was six but not now!"
"But your hairs all messy, you hardly ever comb it, and I thought you'd want to look nice for at least a week while your father and I are away on that business trip"
"RUN!! RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!!" Kirsty shouted out, we all ran from the dinning room through to the living room with out hesitation.
"I wonder if your mum is any relation to my mum" Ikki said as he flopped on to the couch.
"Wouldn't of thought so" Kirsty said sat she sat next to him
"Hey, wait didn't that thing you ordered from that store come in to day Kirsty?" I asked
"What thing?"
"You know that thing you've been going on about for the past two weeks but you wouldn't tell any body about it, that thing?"
"Oh that thing, yeah I think it did come to day or it should have done, we could go and check, err if that's alright with you guys?"
"No I don't mind, just as long as you don't go clothes shopping on the way there… I hate it when girls do that" Ikki said
"Do I look like the kind of girl to do that?"
"I'm not going to answer that question" Ikki said with a smirk on his face
"Lets just go before I change my mind about the clothes shopping bit"
4:10pm, Lowestoft, Bevan Street
"How much longer is this shop?" Metabee moaned "I'm thirsty and my feet hurt, can we stop somewhere?"
"Ok first of all you can't drink so you can't be thirsty and second of all you don have feet" Ikki said
"Oh yeah, well if I don't have feet then how come I can do this!" Metabee shouted as he Kicked Ikki in the shin then ran away laughing
"Oh that was so funny, GET BACK HERE SMARTY BOT!!!" He ran after Metabee with out second thoughts, the both of them didn't even look both ways to see if there were any cars coming before chasing each other across the street. All Kirsty and me did was just stand there and watch.
"Wonder if they're like this all the time?" Kirsty asked me
"I don't know and I think I don't want to know," I answered; luckily they chased each other in the right direction of the shop. We both crossed the road and stopped at the other side, most of the people and other Medabots who were walking past stopped and looked like they had never seen a rampaging Medafighter determined to send his own Medabot to the scrap heap. We walked on and came to the shop that Kirsty wanted to go to, Ikki was slumped against a lamppost out side the shop, Metabee was stood a few shops down out of the way and for good reason.
"Well now, I don't see why you to should argue, your supposed to be Medabot and Medafighter" Kirsty said
"Yeah… yeah I know… I get told that all… the time" Ikki said panting
"So may be you should stop getting told that and start doing that instead" I said
"I'm sure they'll learn in time, the hard way…" Kirsty said under her breath, Kirsty then continued in to the shop, Metabee's Medafighter followed where as Metabee and me just stayed out side.
"Do you do that kind of thing just to annoy him?" I asked him, Metabee looked up from the floor, he wasn't listening.
"Say wah?"
"Do you annoy him just for the fun of it or something?" I asked again
"Na, not always… anyway if I do he asked for it first" Metabee said, about half an hour later Kirsty and Ikki walked out of the shop both of them carrying a large cardboard box that had a logo on the side, between them "What's in the box?"
"Dunno, but the sales man said to look after it well and he gave us this" Kirsty held up a human hand size circuit board it was etched in gold or what looked like gold, one side was covered in microchips and allsorts of electrical doodad and the other side was just plane green circuit board with a small square screen on it.
"And you still don't know what's in the box?" Metabee asked stupidly
"What's it with you and boxes?" Ikki asked
"Well anyway lets get it home and see what it is" Kirsty said
"Are you sure you two can carry that all the way back?" I asked
4:40pm, Lime Ave
"Man my back is killing me" Kirsty whined as she and Ikki put the box down out side the front door."I told you should have had a rest half way back" I said "Hey what's that? On the door"
"Uh? It's a note… from mum and dad" Kirsty said, opening the note that was stuck to the door at just the right height for Kirsty to notice it as she opened the door "It reads, Sorry that we had to leave early but the business meeting was moved forwards a couple of days, your brother has gone to stay with your cousin, no staying up late and clean up after your self's, Love mum and dad… hum no brother, no parents for a week…"
"Sounds good… I feel sorry for you brother going to stay with Leo though… well not really" I said
"I think you should feel sorry for Leo with Jordan staying with him" Metabee believed
"Lets get this thing in side now" Ikki said holding his back, after Kirsty had fumbled around with the lock for a little while and moved the box in to the living room we sat it down in the middle of the floor "Wonder what it is"
"Well if you opened it up in stead of sitting around looking at it you might find out what it is," Metabee sarcastically said
"He has got a point" I added, Kirsty started to pull at the tape that was holding the box together, after watching Kirsty pull at the tape in vain for a few seconds I ran threw in to the dinning room to get a pair of scissors from the draw.
"Here why don't you use these" and with that I started to cut the tape but being careful not to catch anything inside. When I had finished I flipped the lid off to open it but the whole box just fell apart, and small Styrofoam pieces spilled out of the box "Ops… don't worry, I'll clean it up… maybe"
"Whadya mean maybe?!" Kirsty yelled
"Ok then… I might clean it up"
"What's that, looks like a… I dunno what does it look like?" Metabee asked, after asking he started to pile some of the Styrofoam off the thing to reveal more of it, the object was about the size of an A2 sheet of paper and as thick as a car tier, it had two swept forwards wing like things on each side one in front of the other, under the front wing were lights, on the top of it there was a small access hatch, and at the front of it there were a pair of gold wings that were attached to a round iris that was under a layer of glass, All of its paint work was red except the gold bit.
"What is it?" Ikki asked
"I haven't the foggiest, I wonder if this circuit belongs in that thing though" Kirsty said as she opened the access hatch, there was a small slot that looked big enough to fit the circuit board into, Kirsty went to put the board in the slot but stopped.
"Why did you stop?" Metabee asked, "Come on I wanna see what this thing is!"
"So do I, but what's it going to do when it's activated, that's if it activates…" Kirsty said
"Just put the board in and if any thing happens you got me to protect you all" Metabee said
"Oh I feel so much better" Ikki joked, after thinking about it Kirsty put the circuit in to the thing, the iris on the front of it widened as far as it would go then shrank to the size of a bottle cap, fore spindly long arms unfolded from underneath it, each hand had three fingers on it and all fore arms almost touched the ground when it was hovering at Kirsty's standing height.
