Sleepless Nights
Chapter 1
By Kitten Starr
Leena awoke the next morning with no exhaustion whatsoever from the previous night with Harry Champ. That meant more energy to deal with Bit. That boy didn't know when to stop when it came to Zoids. She almost felt it in her heart to just forget about the bashing, but anyone who stood her up with Harry Champ deserved a good slap on the head.
Leena walked into the kitchen and was surprised to see Bit wasn't in there with the others eating breakfast. She sat down and grabbed an apple from the bowl sitting on the table. It was different aside from her continuous munching on junk food.
"Dad, where's Bit at this morning? I thought he'd be in here stuffing his face like he does every morning," inquired Leena while munching on her apple.
"I don't know, dear, unless he's in the hangar," answered Doc mechanically.
Leena reached for another apple and headed out of the kitchen. She didn't say another word to her father or her friends, Brad and Jamie.
-~*~-
She finally ended up in the hangar and was disappointed when she didn't see Bit right away. She turned away ready to leave when she heard a clatter behind some big crates.
"Bit! Is that you?" Leena asked with slight fear dripping from her words.
She continued forward and was a little hesitant when she didn't hear an answer. As she walked, she could make out what sounded like a mumble. She called out to Bit once more and again she heard the mumbling noise. She peered over the crate and burst into a rage of laughter. Before her eyes was Bit who was entangled in hundreds of wires. Some had even snaked their way into Bit's mouth. The entire sight was hilarious. Leena took all her will power to stop chuckling and to help her friend.
Leena fished the wires out of Bit's mouth and then removed the ones restraining his hands. She then began to loosen the one around his left foot as he fought the one on his right hand. When he was finally free, Bit let out a much-needed sigh.
Leena put her index finger on the bridge of her nose and shook her head. "How did you manage that?"
Bit began to laugh and then put a hand behind his head. "I guess the situation was over my head."
Leena looked at him and then remembered why she had come here in the first place. "It serves you right!"
Bit's hand fell and this laughter ceased. "Just what is that supposed to mean?"
"I'm not the one who set someone up on a date with a maniac who kept making freakish google-eyes at her!" By this time, Leena was more than a little angered. She was downright furious.
"Desperate times called for desperate measures," remarked Bit.
"It may have been desperate, but not that desperate!" exclaimed Leena.
Bit could see where Leena was coming from. The team, or at least Leena, probably thought he had gone and purchased essential parts for the Liger, and that was true. However, he had also gotten a few goods for the other Zoids as well. Her sacrifice wasn't very bad either.
"Okay, okay. I agree, but don't jump the beam canon."
"Oh, I won't, Bit. You can count on that."
As Leena sauntered off, Bit had a gut feeling he wasn't out of deep water yet. It would only be a matter of time until Leena would "repay" him for his deed. He could only brace himself for what was to come.
Just as Bit thought it was over for the time being, a cold object plowed against his head. His brain went into a warm sea of frenzy as his mind tried to register what had happened. He was slapped so heard that he could actually see stars.
Leena let out a "humph" as she turned her nose up at him and walked off. Bit stared after her almost fearful of another attack. Leena was a sure spitfire, and she wasn't afraid to show it.
-~*~-
She had come up with a long list of items so far. To her avail, none showed any potential. Leena needed something that would cook Bit's goose, well done quite bluntly.
Leena's eyes narrowed as she spoke softly, "Bit Cloud needs to be taught a lesson. He'll never learn until he has taken a walk in my shoes."
The thought gave her a cruel idea, hence the narrowing of her violet eyes. Bit might not actually walk in her shoes, but he'd not walk in his own. Leena Toros was going to set Bit up on a date he'd never forget.
Bit Cloud would go on his first date with the Champ!
