Running Free

Chapter 4
Dreams Lead to Sadness & Harry Briefly Returns.
"Leena, Shay" Doc came running as fast as he could go. "Your back. Did you find what you were
looking for?"

"I'm wearing it" Shay smiled.

"It took you that long to find some clothes" Bit came walking out of the Hover Cargo.

"Kind of" Leena started to blush. Bit is kind of cute. Nice body, Leena what are you saying this is Bit the guy you like to beat up not a hot and sexy lover boy

"Leena are you ok," Bit looked confused.

"Yeah," Leena looked away.

"Ok I would like to continue chatting but I have to work on some improvements with my Storm Sworder." Shay waved and then walked into the hangar, only to see Jamie cleaning his Raynos. "Hey Jamie can I ask for a favor?"

"Sure what?" Jamie turned away.

"Can I have some help tuning up Storm, his swords have been reacting kind of slow." Shay
climbed into her cockpit.

"Ok" Jamie jumped down and started examining the Storm Sworder.

"Hey Bit," Leena whispered "We may just be right about those two."

"Yeah maybe" Bit smiled.

"Leena my love" Harry came running out of the shadows.

"Who's that?" Shay jumped down, until Harry grabbed her and began hugging her. "WHAT THE
HECK."

"Oh sorry" Harry turned beet red and ran to Leena. "How are you my love. That charged particle
gun didn't hurt you any, right. I tried to protect you and I just wanted to let you know I love you
and I want to be with you the rest of my life."

"Harry thanks for the ring, but again Leena missed it." Doc handed the ring back to Harry.

"What" Harry looked around. "Where did she go."

"Oh, her and Shay went to go work out and then clean up." Bit scratched his head and yawned. "Today has been so boring, and did you guys notice that Leena and Shay were acting strange."

"Kind of," Doc tilted his head. "But of course, I just hired Shay so she might be happy, and Leena
might be acting strange because she is happy to have someone to talk to that is female."

"True," Brad nodded. "Why are you worried Bit?"

"No reason," Bit shrugged.

"Doc, will this effect our money situation at all." Brad frowned.

"What do you mean?" Doc seemed confused.

"If Shay stays, will our pay go down?" Brad explained slowly.

"Um, sorry to bother you but where does Leena work out so I can go tell her." Harry took a step forward.

"Your not going any where near her when she is exercising, Harry." Jamie jumped down off the Storm Sworder.

"Jamie, who owns the Storm Sworder Triple S." Harry looked up at the Zoid. "Not even I have that type of Zoid."

"Shay, does," Jamie smiled.

"Jamie loves Shay" Bit began tickling him.

"Stop it Bit." Jamie was laughing hysterically.

"Not until you admit it." Bit tickled even harder.

"Admit what?" Harry bent over to talk to Brad.

"Oh, Jamie has a crush on Shay." Doc smiled.

"Really?" Harry seemed surprised.

"FINE, I LIKE SHAY!" Jamie shouted.

"Wow!" Bit stopped. "It worked."

"I'm going to my room." Jamie ran away blushing.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who is that Harry guy?" Shay doing push-ups.

"Oh, he has a crush on me." Leena cockily smiled. "And he leads the Champ Team."

"The Champ Team?" Shay stopped and sat up.

"Yeah," Leena started doing pushups.

"Oh yeah, I've heard of them." Shay stood up and walked over to a punching bag and began
kicking it. "So(kick)do(kick)you(kick)like(kick)him(kick)."

"Nope," Leena stopped and sighed. "He's a total duntz."

Shay began laughing. "Yeah from what I've heard, he must be. Oh yeah Leena, did you see how
concerned Bit looked when you started blushing?"

"What are you talking about?" Leena smiled.

"Oh never mind," Shay popped her back. "I'm going to go take a shower."

"Ok," Leena began kicking the bag.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Showers are so nice." Shay picked finished lathering up her hair. Leena is so cool. This is the
first time I've ever had a real friend.

"Shower time," Bit walked into the bathroom.

"BIT!" Shay screamed as she kicked him out of the bathroom.(literaly)

"Woops!" Leena came running. "I guess I forgot to tell her that this was Bit's showering time."

Shay grabbed a towel. "No one has ever seen me that naked besides my mom." Shay paused. "I
think" She turned around and ran to her and Leena's room crying.

"I didn't mean to do anything." Bit looked at the ground, only to see Jamie, Brad, Doc, and Leena
walk up. "I'm sorry, but it was actually my shower time."

"Bit," Jamie clenched his fists. "Couldn't you at least hear the shower running." Jamie punched Bit in the arm.

"Ow, Jamie," Bit held his arm. "I'm sorry ok."

"Then go tell her that." Jamie pointed down the hall.

"Fine," Bit turned around.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile.....

"I don't even know my own mother." Shay buried her head in her pillow. (knock, knock)

"Shay," Bit leaned up to the door. "Can I come in?"

"NO," Shay yelled. "Don't take it personal."

"Shay," Leena now leaned up. "I'm coming in."

"Please don't." Shay covered her head with three pillows.

"I think we need to leave her alone for awhile." Leena whispered to the others.

"I have an idea." Doc went up to the door. "Shay, I've finished your room."

"Ok." Shay wiped her away her tears and sounded a bit happier. "I'm coming out."

"Wow, that was a quick change." Jamie took a step back, as Shay came out.

"Where is it?" Shay smiled.

"I decided to put it right next to Leena's." Doc pointed to the door. "You just have to set the lock."

"Hmmm, what should I set it as." Shay looked up.

"How about your birthday." Leena smiled.

"Birthday?" Shay raised her eyebrow.

"Yeah, you know the day you were born." Leena replied.

Shay leaned over to talk to Leena. "I don't know when my birthday is."

"WHAT?" Leena jumped back.

"What's wrong Leena?" Bit wouldn't look at Shay. Why did Shay have an AZ on her back. What
could AZ mean, and why does it seem like Leena and Shay are hiding something.

"Nothing," Leena looked at Shay. "Well than how bout' when you got Storm?'

"Ok" Shay smiled and input 6 numbers. "I'm going to go to sleep for awhile. I'm really tired, can
we move my clothes in later?"

"Sure," Leena waved and went back to her room.

"Shay," Jamie put his hand on her shoulder. "Are you sure you'll be ok?"

"Yes, Jamie thanks." Shay smiled and then went into her room.

"I'm gonna go fix dinner." Jamie turned around and ran to the kitchen.

"How cute." Bit smirked and then turned to Brad. "How come you didn't make any contributions
to making Shay happy?"

"I don't know." Brad turned around. "Call me when dinners ready."

"Ok," Bit smiled. Leena and Shay must have a secret. How did Shay know Altair? Why did he
say that he raised her?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Shay looked around. "Shayanna," A woman put her hand on her shoulder. "Zi is so beautiful this time of year."

"I guess." Shay looked up at the woman with blonde hair and two triangles on her forehead. But then the dream changed and that same woman was standing behind a console. "I love you little sister." and before Shay knew it, she was sealed inside a capsule. Then after that, her dream was black for awhile, but then all of a sudden, light broke in and she saw, a man, a woman, and a young boy smiling at her. "Hello, young one." The man bent over. "What's your name?"

"Shay!" someone yelled.

"Woe!" Shay sat up in her bed. "What was that all about. Do I have a sister?" (knock, knock)

"Shay!" Leena yelled. "Time to eat."

"Be right out." Shay got up and walked to the door and opened it. "Let's go." When they walked in the dining room they saw Doc smiling. "What Doc?"

"Harry has challenged us." Doc looked up. "And if we win, we get 20 times the normal prize
money."

"Oh yeah." Brad walked in, "But what if they win?"

"Leena will have to go on a date with him." Doc looked at Leena.

"Ok," Leena reluctantly replied. "Who you sending in?"

"You, Bit, Brad, and Shay." Doc smiled. "He requested that Shay go out, he also said that Jack Cysco would be out."

"Ok," Shay stretched. "He'll be crying for his mommy within five seconds."

"Hi Shay." Jamie walked in with a plate of steak.

"Hi Jamie," Shay smiled. "Need some help?"

"I'm fine," Jamie set the plate down.

"Shay," Bit walked in. "I need to talk to you later, ok."

"Ok," Shay smiled.

"What are we all waiting for." Bit smiled. "Let's dig in."
