Running Free
Chapter 3
Shopping Day & Girl Talk
"So Shay, has Doc given you your paycheck yet?" Leena counted the money in her hand.
"Yep, $700 dollars," Shay smiled. "Not bad for my first paycheck, right."
"Yeah," Leena looked out her window, since her and Shay were sharing a room until Doc prepared
Shay one. "So today's a nice day, why don't we go shopping in Romeo City. When we get there of course?"
"Sure, that should be fun." Shay cracked her neck. "But what should we do until we get there."
"How about some girl talk until we can leave." Leena sat on her bed.
"Sure, but about what?" Shay laid down.
"Do you have a crush on anyone?" Leena smiled.
"Not a whole lot." Shay blushed. "I know you like Bit."
"What are you talking about." Leena looked surprised.
"Oh common everyone knows," Shay paused, "except Bit."
"You don't know anything." Leena acted proud.
"Oh if your saying you don't like him, is it ok if I make a move on him?" Shay grinned.
"Yes!" Leena shouted.
"Yes, what?" Shay grinned evilly
"Well look we arrived at the Romeo City, let's go" Leena grabbed her.
"Ok" Shay stood up and began to run just to keep up with Leena. She must like him the way
she changed the subject so fast.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh Shay!" Leena gasped. "You look awesome."
"I am not wearing this," Shay stood in front of a mirror. "These are your clothes"
"Yeah so," Leena looked offended "Is their something wrong with that."
"No, it's just I want my own style" Shay walked back out of the changing room in her new clothes,
which included a large vest, black pants, and black boots. "I do like your head thing though, and
I will hear it for battle. It looks good with my hair color."
"Oh yeah black hair is really hard to match with. Ok lets go" Leena grabbed her other shopping bag with Shay's new fighting outfit.
"I guess we should go, but about the black hair you should know this is my original." Shay shrugged.
"Shay, I've been meaning to ask you. How did you know Altair?" Leena turned around and started
to walk backwards.
"You have to keep this a secret." Shay looked around.
"Pilots honor," Leena put her hand on her chest.
"I used to be a member of the Backdraft." Shay whispered.
"What! But your so young!" Leena shouted.
"Shhhhhh," Shay covered her mouth. "It wasn't by choice. I was raised to be their best fighter.
But don't ask me why they chose me."
"Ohhh," Leena shook her head up and down. "Kind of like Vega Obsucra."
"Yeah, actually he was one of my 3 quote, quote friends but thanks to you I was able to escape during the aftermath of when
Bit beat Vega. He may have a hard exterior but Vega was a sweet boy; who was just like me and
only wanted to know about his past." Shay smiled.
"So who were the other 2 friends." Leena looked at her.
"Next was Stoller," Shay looked up.
"You mean the guy with the Elephander, that betrayed the Backdraft." Leena looked at Shay to see if
she was right.
"Yeah, he taught me alot of what I know," Shay sighed. "I spent 4 of my 7 years their under his
training."
"And third," Leena smiled. "Was it a boy?"
"Hardly," Shay shot back. "It was Dr. Layon."
"Dr. Laydon," Leena stepped back.
"It's Layon, and yes, he respected me, and saw me for who I was. He also trained me for awhile."
Shay frowned, "Pierce and the others only saw me as a tool that could be used for their benefit."
"You poor girl," Leena put her hand on her shoulder.
"Wait, shhhh," Shay looked around. "Someone's been following us since we left that last shop."
"What!" Leena frantically looked around. "I don't see anyone."
"When your taught by the best, you have to learn to be the best." Shay turned into an alley.
"Common," she pulled Leena behind a wall.
"Where did she go," the man looked around the alley.
"I've got you now." Shay came at him with a kick.
"Ow," the man was pinned up against a wall. "Wow Shay looks like the kick boxing lessons I gave
you haven't gone to waste."
"Stoller," Shay took her foot down. "Is that really you?"
"Yep," Stoller smiled, "How you doing?"
"Stoller," Shay threw herself at him. "I've missed you so much."
"Hey kiddo, it's ok, no need to cry." Stoller wiped away her tears. "I see you finally escaped and
joined a team."
"Yeah," Shay smiled, "Stoller meet..."
"Leena right," Stoller shook her hand.
"Yeah," Leena was still in shock from what all was going on.
"Good team choice," Stoller smiled.
"Well I didn't really choose them, I kind of just ran into them." Shay blushed.
"So have you met any guys," Stoller grinned.
"NO!" Shay shot back while seriously blushing. "And why is everyone all of a sudden interested in
my personal life."
"Because your a teenage girl, and it is normal to have a boyfriend or at least a crush." Stoller laughed.
"Whatever," Shay looked up. "All I need is Storm."
"You know Zoids aren't everything." Stoller began walking with them.
"Of course they are," Shay blushed.
"I've got a feeling that is not what you truly believe." Stoller stopped. "Well we will have to
continue this another day."
"What," Shay looked surprised.
"Yep I have to leave for now since the Backdraft is still after me. I don't want you to get
caught to, but don't worry we will talk again." Stoller walked away.
"Bye," Shay waved, but it was to late and he was already gone.
"So Shay are you sure you don't like Jamie?" Leena grinned evilly.
"NO OK AND LEAVE IT ALONE!" Shay stopped right before they got in the car. "Are you sure
you don't like Bit?"
"No," Leena blushed, "I guess we are going to get nowhere with this conversation."
"I guess not" Shay sat back and relaxed in the car as Leena started it and began to drive down the
road. I can't like anyone. I won't get attached to anyone. Everyone I have ever loved was taken
away from me. Oh crap Shay, you've screwed up, you've become attached to Leena, she's your first real
friend.
"So, Shay do you have any family outside the Backdraft?" Leena looked over to see Shay come out of
her daze.
"Yes," Shay looked down. "The whole reason I'm a mercenary is to find them."
"Huh," Leena looked confused.
"When I was young I got separated from them when I was taken to become a member of the
Backdraft Group." Shay sighed. "But that's about all I know about them."
"Then how do expect to find them then." Leena looked over to her.
"They have to most beautiful blue eyes." Shay smiled. "That is all I remember about them, and I
have been having dreams about them lately and I'm confused."
"Why is that?" Leena questioned.
"One dream I have a sister, the next it's a brother." Shay frowned.
"Well I'm sure it'll all work out." Leena smiled sweetly. "But we'll have to continue this
conversation when we get back to our room, we're back at the Hover Cargo."
"Ok," Shay smiled back. "Cool, Doc is running out here to greet us. He must have some new wonderful
thing he want's to show us."
