Kay: *laughs hysterically* According to what I wrote in my last authors note, I'm pretty much suppose to be dead right now. *Zap* Darn it! She got me! *Falls over, fake dead* *Krissy, blonde neighbor, walks away thinking the task is done!* * evil laugh* She truly is blonde! *another evil laugh* *Zap* OUCH! Stop that! *zap* miss, ouch *running* I'm running, I'm running!!! *jumps over cliff* LOOK OUT BELOW!!! *bump, face hit first* Great, now all I need is a frying pan and I can make pancakes.

Krissy: *shakes head, sighs* Wait, is this gun working? *zaps herself* Ouch! *walks away*

Kay: You idiot *shakes her head* Anyhow, like I was saying, I can't believe I said Friday, I meant to put next Friday cause I was busy that week, I was thinking of my Biology test that was that Friday. *slaps forehead* Suddenly, things are starting to make more sense. I wondered why I saw some reviewers giving me distasteful looks. Thank you Tfm for not killing me *laughs* I wouldn't have known why you did. Now it makes sense, and I am sorry that I made that wrong promise. I still am about a week and two days late from what I originally had planned though, but please forgive me. I hope that this chapter will somewhat make up for that. High school must be getting to me, *laughs* Okay, for my mistake, I guess you all don't want to hear me right now, and I can perfectly understand if that is the case, but here is the next chap. Now, here is the disclaimer. SING YOU OWNERS, YOU OWNERS OF ZOIDS, SING!

Disclaimer: *Chorus* KAY DOES NOT OWN ZOIDS, DO NOT STEAL, COPY, MODIFY, OR REUSE HER IDEAS THE SAME WAY, THE PLOT IS HERS. It is the one thing we let her keep. AND SHE DOESN'T OWN THE SONG ONE SLOWDANCE BY SIMPLE PLAN! OR SO SHE THINKS THAT IT IS THEIR SONG! *Bows, walks away into the forest*

Kay: Yes, I have a part in this chapter with the song One Slow Dance by Simple Plan.

[...] - Their lyrics are in these.

Anyhow, I think it is their song, but I am not sure, if you know it is there song, please post saying so, now, without further ado-

Jamie: YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO THEM. YOU CAN'T- *mouth is covered by Kay's hand, Jamie struggles momentarily*

Kay: Jamie, dear, read my lips, yes...I...can...and there is nothing you or anyone else out here that can stop me. Do you understand? *Jamie nods head* Good, now if I release you, you have to promise that you are not going to say anything, do you promise to that? *shakes head back and forth* then I don't release you, OUCH! *Jamie is released* You bit my hand.

Jamie: She is going to- *Kay tosses Jamie into nearby bush*

Kay: Now Jamie, we don't want to ruin the story just yet. It's my twist for the night. I think that you have all heard enough foreshadowing, on with the story, yeah. ^_^

Sorrows under the Moon Light: Problems with Moisture

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

'What the-'Leena thought to herself taken aback. She stared blankly back at Bit who only smiled back at her. Her heart was beating out of her chest, her pulse was quickening, her eardrums were pounding, and her mind was sending out mixed messages. Was she in love? 'What does he mean? He probably wasn't thinking right or something. Yeah, that must be it,' Leena tried to convince herself, but failed terribly because she didn't believe her excuses.

A long moment of silence, what seemed like an eternity to Leena, passed. Both contemplating about was to do next. The waiter came and left the check; Bit watched her leave with a look of distaste. Another second passed, only the slow music was playing in the background with the chatter of people around them.

"I guess I'm going to have to pay," Bit said to himself and put the exact amount of money onto the tray, to pay for their dinner, and added a small tip for the waiter. He then stood up from his chair and walked over, next to Leena.

"Allow me to make this evening more enjoyable than that which you share with Harry most of the time," he said as he held out his hand to Leena.

It took a moment to figure out that Bit was asking her to dance, and replied, "Sure," and took hold of his hand as he pulled her up. A few couples were dancing already, in front of the small band of four men. Two were playing a guitar, another playing the drums, one was standing in front of the microphone. They walked to the center of the crowd, hand in hand. When they reached the perfect spot, Bit stopped, and placed his hands on either side of her waist. Leena followed and put her hands on his shoulders. As they slowly began to sway with the music, the man in front of the microphone began to sing.

[You're standing there alone,
And so am I,
But I want you here,
By my side,
Ohh,
You smiled at me,
Is everything thing this starirng game,
That song of love.]

"It isn't the slowest song there is, is it?" Bit asked with a smile, making Leena smile, giggle, and pull him closer so her arms were wrapped around his neck, and her head rested on his shoulder. Bit hesitated for a moment, but then wrapped his arms around her thin waist. They continued to sway with the music, rotating in slow circles.

[I look you in the eyes,
I try to read your thoughts,
I ask you to go with me,
To a far off place.

You and me dancing the night away,
You can feel my heart beating so hard,
We look eye to eye,
But I'm swept away.

On a moonlit walk on the beach,
Watching the sunrise for the first time,
While I'm in a trance for that one slow dance.]

Little did Bit and Leena know, three males sat at a table not too far away from them. All three were staring at them intently. Leena and Bit hadn't noticed them yet though. One had black hair, leaning over the table; the other two had brown hair. One of the brown-haired males sat back in his chair sipping his hot coffee slowly.

"I told you Jamie," said the oldest of the three, "My plan will work, and that means you owe me some money. As I recall, you and I had a bet on this."

Jamie shook his head, "Fine, Doc, I'll pay you," then sighed, 'I never thought those two would get together.'

The third remained silent, still staring at the two dancing in the middle of everyone, he finally spoke, "I'm sure Leena is in love with Bit, but how do you know Bit loves her back."

Both men stared at him, then at each other, and finally returned to watching Bit and Leena. "I just don't know Brad, I just don't know," Doc replied slowly and calmly.

"So I don't owe you money then?" Jamie asked, relieved in a way.

"Of course you do," Doc said with enthusiasm, "I said that they will get together, I never said that they had to like each other, besides, I need a little extra money to buy another model."

Jamie nearly fell out of his chair because of this, 'typical Doc,' then sighed, he knew he should have expected this. All three returned to watching Leena and Bit slow dance.

[You standing there alone,
And so am I,
But I want you here by my side,
You smiled at me,
Is everything the staring game,
That song of love.

I look you in the eyes,
I try to read your thoughts,
I ask you to go with me,
To a far off place.

You and me dancing the night away,
You can feel my heart beating so hard,
We look eye to eye,
But I'm swept away.]

As Leena and Bit swayed with the music, Leena couldn't help but think that something felt right about this. Even though they weren't speaking to one another, it felt right. She felt his heart beating, the warmth between, and the wet area where the water had spilled on Bit's clothes. However, it finally occurred to her, she loved him. It had all started as a simple plan to lose Harry, and ended up being one of the greatest things that ever happened to her.

She could only hope he would return those feelings if she expressed them to him, tonight was the night to do it if she wanted to tell him what she felt. 'Doc, Jamie, and Brad will probably be back tomorrow, and who knows when I'll get another chance like this. The only thing is, does he love me back?'

[We don't have to talk,
We don't have to laugh at all,
I just want you here with me,
We dont have to talk,
We dont have to laugh at all,
I just want you here....

You and me dancing the night away,
You can feel my heart beating so hard,
We look eye to eye,
But I'm swept away.

After that long walk on the beach,
Watching the sunrise for the first time,
But I'm in a trance for that one slow dance.]

The music faded with its sound decreasing slowly into the night. All the couples, including Bit and Leena, pulled away from one another and clapped for the band.

"Thank you, thank you," the singer said as he and the others bowed to their audience. "We'll be here till next week."

Leena and Bit still stood in the middle of the depleting crowd, both with cheeks of pink shading. Leena didn't know what to say to Bit. Everything had happened all so fast, it seemed like one giant blur. One moment they were at their table, the next they were dancing, and now that moment was over, but not gone, now they were standing a few feet from each other, too nervous to speak, too confused to think.

"Do...Do you want to go for a walk?" he finally said.

Leena smiled, her cheeks turned scarlet, this was her chance. She nodded, "Sure," and followed Bit out of the diner, and towards the quiet park next to it.

Before they entered, Leena stopped abruptly and grabbed Bit's wrist, causing Bit to also stop.

"What's up?" he asked curiously.

"Why are we going in there?" she asked, pointing towards the entrance.

"Because it is a place where people can walk." Bit finally caught on to the real reason why Leena had stopped. "Is the great Leena Toros scared?" he asked in a mocking tone with a grin.

Leena gave him a stern look as of to say 'Shut up,' but Bit's grin only grew. "I'm not scared of anything," she retorted.

"Leena, it's not like the chainsaw man is waiting for you or anything like that," Bit continued.

"Very funny," Leena snapped. Bit was starting to lose the feeling in his fingers because Leena was cutting off his circulation of blood to his wrist.

"But then again, we never know, so we won't go too far."

Leena released her grip a little, Bit only smiled sheepishly at her, 'Note to self, never say that again,' Bit told himself as he walked into the entrance of the park, rubbing his wrist slightly with Leena behind him.

There were miniature light stands that followed the path, so they did not lose it. They walked slowly for about ten minutes before they left the tree area and looked upon a lake.

Everything was dark around them, even the last miniature light stand ended at the end of the path, the only thing visible was the lake itself, and the heavenly bodies above which illuminated the lake immensely. The reflection of the two moons played in the water as small ripples changed their shape little because of how large they were tonight. Bit noticed a two-person bench near the side of the lake and escorted Leena to it, Leena sat first, and then he joined her. They sat in silence, both comfortable with one another.

"So far Leena," Bit said, turning to look at the side of her face, "I don't see any chainsaw man, so I'm guessing you would like to give me your cookie for being right."

"Sure," Leena replied absentmindedly as she looked at the two moons, but quickly realized what she had agreed to, "Wait, what?"

Bit chuckled to himself, and gave a reassuring smile to Leena, saying 'I won't.' Leena only smiled back. Her cheeks had turned cherry red, again. Luckily, Bit did not notice because it was too dark and was staring at the two large moons enlightening the dark sky.

Leena, too, focused her gaze onto the two moons, and distractedly stood up from her position. She walked a few feet forward, so that she was at the lakebed and whispered, "They are huge tonight, huh?"

Bit got up from his position and walked until he was right behind Leena. "Yeah, they are huh," he said as he glanced up then to the back of Leena's head.

Leena felt his breath on the back of her neck, and restrained herself from giggling because it tickled. Her heart was pounding on her chest once again, her whole body was going numb, she could feel the goose bumps forming on her arm, and she had a desire to turn around and kiss him. It seemed like the perfect moment to her. No one was around, it was a beautiful night, and she truly believed that she loved him. She honestly believed that she loved him, and for some strange reason, she had no clue why. Why did she love a person like Bit? 'Its anyone's guess,' she thought, but she loved him anyhow. She knew she subconsciously liked him since the beginning, but never thought that it would develop into something more. Now, she figured, was her chance.

She slowly turned on her heel to face Bit; he was only inches away from her face with his goofy grin as he looked up at the stars.

"Bit," she said sternly and calmly. Bit's head made a downward motion so she could now see his face. It had a pearly white tint to it, 'must be the moons,' Leena answered to herself, but for some reason, it didn't have that same effect on his eyes. They still glowed sea green, only brighter than before.

"Huh?" he asked, still staring at her.

"I just...just..." Leena was at a lose for words as she stared at the gray- ish black grass. 'When have I never been able to talk to him?' she asked. "I just want to say..." her voice trailed off.

"Yes," Bit said with a look as of for her to go on.

"I-" she began to lean in towards him, so their faces were only an inch or two away, and kept progressing.

"LEENA!!!"

Leena froze at the sound of her name being called, and pulled her head away from Bit to look at the ground, but suddenly realized that she knew that voice, and how she wished it really wasn't him. She turned her head to her left, Bit's head moved to his right, only to see a brown haired, blue eyed, Harry Champ looking angrily at Bit.

'NO HARRY!!!' her mind screamed, 'Why now, why can't you annoy me later? It's not like you don't know where I live.' He had ruined her chance, and now he'd have to pay.

"Get lost Harry," Bit said defensively.

"Why?" he said mockingly, "I think that my Leena would want me to be where ever she was. For we share a special bond that no one can break, isn't that right Leena?"

"Get over yourself Harry," Leena retorted with such an angry tone of voice that Bit took a step back in fear that she may explode at any moment.

"What?" Harry asked confused, "What did you do to my Leena, Cloud?"

"One, Harry, I am not your Leena, and secondly, Bit did not do anything," 'except be cute and adorable,' her mind corrected her, then she added as an afterthought, "I just don't like you like that," she replied quickly, and sternly.

Harry gaped at the two of them, then stared heatedly at Bit, and repeated, "What did you do to her?" he pointed at Leena. From what Leena could tell, he understood what she said, but could not come to terms with it.

"Believe what you want Harry, I didn't do anything to her."

Harry just stared, too shocked to know what to do, "But, but, what about all our dates? What about me saving you from the base?"

"You chose to save us from the base, and my dad forced me to go on those dates."

"But," it was a no win situation for Harry. "THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!" He said, once again to Bit, but to no avail. Suddenly two robotic creatures grabbed him by his arms.

"Come now, Harry. You really shouldn't interrupt people."

"What are you doing Sebastian?" Harry said out of surprise, "I must save my Leena!"

"That isn't Leena," replied Benjamin, "she doesn't look like her. Besides, Harry, Leena is still at the base with Bit."

"NO SHE ISN'T!" he screamed, "SHE IS RIGHT THERE!"

"Oh Harry," he said as if Harry were only two years old, "That can't be Leena."

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SEBASTIAN? IT IS SHE! YOU NUTTY ROBOTS! I'M GOING TO TAKE BOTH OF YOU APART FOR THIS IF YOU DON'T LET ME GO!"

"We saw never saw her leave the base," Benjamin replied as they faded off into the distance, "You told us to keep a sharp watch on her and she and Bit never left," they completely vanished from Bit and Leena's view, but Harry's screams could still be heard in the distance.

Bit and Leena both stared in the direction they had left.

"So, you were saying?" Bit asked Leena as if nothing had just happened.

"I-"

"Yes, I know you said that. Now would you like to add anythi-"

Before Bit finished his sentence, Leena had stood on her toes, kissed him on the lips, and wrapped her arms around his neck. Her eyes were closed, and all she could feel were his soft lips on hers. For a moment, he didn't kiss back, and didn't wrap his arms around her, or anything of the sort, but then, he did. He kissed back, but still did not move his arms around her waist. For a moment, they both kissed, but Leena felt her shoulders being pushed back and had to break away from him. She opened her eyes to see a shocked Bit looking back at her. He had pushed her away.

'What?' she was racking her brain trying to find the answer as of to why he would push her away after everything? Why? What would make him not want her? Was there something wrong with her breath? She could fix that.

"Leena," he finally choked out, "I-" a brief silence, "I don't think I want to do that."

She stood there, two feet away, in shock, still asking ironic questions in her head. Bit continued.

"Not now anyhow. Its just, I always thought of you as a sister, ya know, and well," he paused for a moment and looked down at the grass, "I wouldn't feel comfortable at the moment if we got together."

It was heart wrenching for Leena to hear that. She was so mixed up in thought and emotions.

"It's not that I don't like you, it's just, well-"

"Yes," she croaked out, she felt like she was on the verge of tears, but refrained from crying and snapping at him.

"You're my best friend, Leena. I don't want that friendship to be destroyed. We're only eighteen, what if things don't work out between us? We may not be friends after that, and I can't imagine not chasing you to get back my donut, or the other way around." He did not smile when he said these words; in fact, he looked like he would break down any minute. His heart was aching, and he felt miserable all over. He was scared. He hated that feeling of being scared, he hated the feeling that something would happen and he would never see Leena again.

"I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not ready to take that step yet," he added as an afterthought.

Leena solemnly nodded, to say she understood, but something finally hit her brain, "But, if you weren't ready, why did you ask me to dance? Why did you even ask me to come with you?" she hoped that by asking these two questions, it would change his answer.

Bit thought for a second, then replied, "No offense Leena, but I felt it was only right if I asked you to dance and to see if you wanted to go with me to the diner. By asking you to dance, I thought it would make this night better than Harry's if you at least did something besides talk," but Bit knew deep down, that wasn't the entire answer. He knew he asked her because he liked her, but he never thought that she would think much of it.

He liked it, when they danced, but he felt like something was out of place. It felt like friendship was more important, and what would everyone say if they found out that he was going out with Leena, what would his team say? He knew that most people that broke up never stayed friends after that, and if that would be the case with Leena, he didn't want to risk it. Sure, he was all about taking risks in zoid battles, but that didn't necessarily mean that he wanted to take risks with another human. Not now anyhow. He knew he had his whole life in front of him, or did he? But his mind was made up, and he had to stick with it now.

"I'm sorry Leena, if you thought that I liked you like that, and maybe I will, but I don't feel like I like you like that right now. Just not now," he repeated.

Leena took a deep breath, and exhaled, "Okay," she said as she was finally calming down. "I'm sorry, it just felt like the right moment," she said turning back to the lake, avoiding eye contact with Bit. She felt a hand on her right shoulder and a single word murmured, "sorry," then felt the presence of the hand gone, and a coldness infect that spot.

"Lets go," she finally said, turning around and walking right by Bit towards the path. He followed her silently.

Within fifteen minutes, they were both in the jeep, Bit driving, and were on their way back to the base. It wasn't half as comfortable to either of them as it had been on the way here. Neither was relaxed, nor happy for that matter at having to be in the same car as the other. They really just wanted to be separated.

As they reached the base, and got out of the jeep, they headed for their rooms. Leena's and Bit's were both in the same direction, only Leena's was before Bits. Both walked silently down the hall, too exhausted and in a way angry to talk to one another. As soon as Leena reached her bedroom door, she pulled Bits wrist to stop him. Bit immediately stopped and looked at her.

She took another deep breath and exhaled, "Thanks for the night, Bit," she said with a glum face, then swiftly kissed his right cheek, then slapped his left cheek, and walked into her room without a second glance back.

Bit slowly put his left hand to the cheek she had just hit. It took a minute for Bit to understand what happened, but then continued to walk to his room. He opened his door, sat down on the side of his bed, put his face in his hands, and murmured silently to himself, "What have I done?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Kay: *sobs* this is most likely the saddest chapter I've ever written, and I think that it is also one of the longest. *Sobs some more* and now look at me, you reviewers are going to eat me alive for this chapter. I feel so helpless. *Sobs once again* *whips tears* but don't worry ya'll. This story doesn't end here. Oh no, if I ended with that, I'm sure that someone will kill me by tomorrow.

Jamie: I tried to warn you all. *Kay shoots death stare towards Jamie* But Kay made me promise not tell as you can read.

Kay: And if you tell anyone any little detail about the next chapter, you may be about six feet under within a few moments of what you said. Oh, and I am well aware that the song I chose, if any of you hear it, or have heard it, is not exactly a slow dancing song. It is in a small way, but not really. Just thought it kinda went along with everything in this story, and I have to admit, I was inspired by it too. I heard it not too long ago, and that's when I thought of putting this plot bunny in. ^_~ *sees Bit and Leena running towards her* Oh look, there's Leena and Bit now. Hmm...they don't look too happy.

Jamie: Maybe that has to do with the fact that they want to kill you.

Kay: *nods* Yes, it probably is the case after what just happened in this chapter. *Bit and Leena are closing in on Kay* I wonder if I should move.

Jamie: Well, that probably would keep you alive.

Bit and Leena: *Dive at Kay, but go right through her*

Kay: You were saying Jamie.

Jamie: *Looks at Kay with strange messed up face, blinks eyes rapidly to see if illusion or not* What just happened?

Kay: *Sticks hand inside of stomach, laughs* Not everyone that writes is alive you know.

Jamie: *blinks* YOU'RE MAD!!! *runs away from Kay, out of earshot*

Kay: He even looks cute when he runs. *waves* bye cutie Jamie!

Bit: *stares at Leena* What's up with her?

Leena: She can't be dead. *both walk away* The real Kay has to be alive somewhere around here. It's not like falling off a cliff is going to kill her.

Kay: Ya know, I never thought that those gifts you got for Halloween were actually useful until I got this projector. *puts finger to lips* shhh...Don't tell Jamie. Hope you all had a HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!! *evil laugh* *vanishes*
