Metabots: Stranger Things have Happened
chapter 2 written by Noble....
"Hey Erika what's up with you today? You look miserable" questions Henry looking up from the Medabot catalogue.
"Do I? Sorry I just didn't get enough sleep last night" she answers rubbing her eyes.
"You know it's strange. You've been in here for the past hour or so looking at the same article, even eating the same chocolate fudge Sunday that you bought when you got in here and not once have I seen you act all hyper as you usually do when you've got this big scoop ready for the school newspaper, so what's wrong?"
"It's nothing Henry really...*sighs*....Just what is it that blockhead see's in Karen anyway?!" she shouts venting.
"Blockhead? Now there's only one person that I know that you think is a blockhead and I'm certain it isn't a female that your attracted too" he wonders outloud slyly.
"Henry behave! I was talking about---!"
"Oh that's it, you mean Ikki right?" he asks smirking.
"Shhhh. Keep your mouth shut Henry! If anyone finds out then the gossip will spread and then I will be the headline news of my own school newspaper" she whispers quietly looking him in the eye with a deathglare.
"Ahh come on Erika what's the worst that can happen?"
"EVERYTHING! When people tend to say stuff like that bad things do tend to happen!"
"Say where's your medabot Brass anyhow? I thought that she's always with you?" questions Henry looking about the store.
"Well umm y'see...."
Just then Brass starts to run inside looking knackered and out of breath like she's been running for miles and closely behind is the ever hysterical and hyperactive Metabee who comes running in like a runaway fraight train and smashes into Brass head on. The result leaves a twitching Metabee seeing stars and as he recovers he finds himself in an uncomfortable position; on top of Brass who was looking up directly at him with something that could closely resemble a human blushing. The Hercules beetle type Medabot quickly face faults and zips to his feet coughing before going absolutely crazy with one of his hyperactive temper tantrums.
"Yo Brass! Watch where your going next time will yeah?" he souts venting, a blue vein showing out of the top of his forehead.
"Sorry Metabee. I wasn't looking where I was going" she mumbles apologetically bowing her head, hiding her robotic blushing.
"Brass? What's the scoop? Any sign of him yet?" asks Erika, her medafighter with hope in her eyes.
"No Miss Erika I'm sorry. I couldn't see any sign of Ikki"
"IKKI?!" both Henry and Metabee say in unison looking shocked.
From the extreme embarrassment she was facing from both her childhood friends Medabot and from Henry's sly grin she quickly jumped from her seat and put her hand over Brass' voice box hoping to shut her up while giggling rather nervously looking back at the two sweatdropping.
"Oh now I get it. Seems to me that rusty old metabee was right about you two after all. Heh heh...dude I rock!"
"Miss Erika? He knows?" questions Brass looking at her Medafighter.
"That means he's probably already told him. He knows too much get him!!" growls Erika looking not to happy with a certain yellow KBT type beetle medabot.
"WAHHH! Whoa back it up! Ikki doesn't know anything!!" pleads Metabee trying to escape Erika's wrath.
"He..doesn't?"
"Heck no! He doesn't know anything.....well apart from my asking him what he thought about you" Metabee answers scratching his head.
Suddenly a camera and microphone are right in Metabee's face and already Erika is in there trying to get answers to her own personal scoop that will NOT be in the school newspaper.
"So Metabee....since when did you take an interest in how he thought about me anyway? Come on fess up! Who put you up to it?" she questions looking very serious and unfazed like a reporter should.
"Err....she did" he answers pointing to her Medabot.
"BRASS!! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"
"Gck, gck, gck! Run for it!!" twitches Metabee nervously as he always does and grabs Brass' hand tightly before making a B line for the shop doors and out into the streets running for dear life with Brass being dragged behind helplessly.
"I can't believe her! I told her not to tell anybody. Let alone Ikki's own Medabot!" she groans slapping a hand over her eyes.
"What was that about Metabee Erika?" comes a familiar voice.
Quickly and without looking completely embarrassed Erika turns around quickly looking as normal and cheerful as ever to her childhood friend who just walked into the store.
"Err....Hi Ikki!"
******
"Man...Now I know what it's like when Ikki complains about running for so long with coach Mountain. Heck that guy's a kitten compared to Erika whoo boy!" grumbles Metabee resting on the side of a tree.
*CRACK!*
"YEOW!! What was that for?! I just saved your hide from Erika who was going to get medaphysical on ya and this is how you repay me?! Humph....talk about ungrateful"
"Well we wouldn't be in this mess in first place if you didn't actually tell Miss Erika that I told you to ask Ikki about how he felt about her! If Ikki ever catches on where both going to be killed!"
"Speak for yourself. I don't know what's worse. Erika on a bad day or you on a good day! Besides we can't be put offline unless they eject our medals and there's no way I'm letting either Ikki or Erika anywhere near mine!" grumbles Metabee pouting.
"Will you stop being so thick headed for once and help come up with a plan? Ikki is bound to catch on sooner or later that Miss Erika likes him so what do you suggest we do?" questions Brass.
"Hmmm....hey i've got it! Alright this is what were going to do...."
Author's note: Uh oh a mischevious Metabee mixed with an innocent Brass spells trouble for both Ikki and Erika. What do their medabots have in store for them? Find out in chapter three soon. So don't forget to leave a review and send all comments to: Noblekaleomnislash1@hotmail.com
