Caylin: Why are you in a bad mood?
Kai: Yea, why?
Crystal: I'm not in a bad mood…
Kai: Yep…she is…
Kitara: Come on, you can tell us
Crystal: No…I can't…very complicated…let's just get on with it…disclaimer is the same with every other chapter…
~*~*~
Four pairs of eyes glowed in the darkness, in the colors of a golden amber, crimson, baby blue, and green. One of the girls screamed and Kai and Ran were in front of the group as fast as lightning. (A/N No pun intended.)
"Hey, we can take care of ourselves, you know" Tami growled, pushing Kai to the side.
"God, Miss PMS over here" he muttered.
"WHAT DID YOU SAY?!" Tami yelled, turning to him, her face packed with rage.
"Eep" he said, scooting away from the steaming girl.
"Excuse me, but now is not the time. We're sort of in a NATURAL DISASTER!" Caylin shrieked.
"Actually, it isn't a natural disaster, because we're in something man-made, so-" Rem shut her mouth as everyone stared at her with a 'we get the point' look. "Never mind" she muttered, looking down at the floor.
"Did everyone but us forget about the eyes that glow in the dark? Cause you all seem sorta busy" Rachel said, and everyone looked at her annoyed. "What, just pointing out the obvious" she smiled sweetly.
"Oh, screw this" Kai muttered, standing and touching the wall. There was a soft clicking sound, and the lights went up. Everyone turned to the eyes, seeing Mickey standing with another girl a bit shorter then her, and two guys.
"Hello everyone" Mickey said, smiling in a joking type way.
"You scared the shit out of us" Kai said, leaning back against the wall.
"I'm sorry" she said, sweat dropping. (A/N Since we're in the anime world, we can do anime things. Like face fault and sweat drop and stuff like that.) "Anyway, these are your new team mates. This is Windra Rodriguez" Mickey said, motioning to the girl with the golden amber eyes.
"Hey there, and you all can call me Windy. I'm Storm" she said in a New York accent. Her hair was Turquoise with Sky Blue highlights, and it was strait, dangling about her hips. It looked like the hairstyle of Sephiroth from Final Fantasy 7. She was wearing a black tank top with a sporty gray zip-up vest with a red hood and a red zipper down the middle. She had on a pair of dark blue flares, a red belt hanging around her waist, chains falling from it. She was wearing black ankle boots, and a red, corduroy, newsboy hat. She winked at everyone, laughing slightly.
"Think she'd be wind" Ran muttered.
"Well, Mickey's wind, so that's sorta impossible" Kai pointed out. Mickey smiled a bit, and for the first time, everyone noticed that she no longer had any bandages.
"And this is Sai Gemini" Mickey pointed to the baby blue-eyed guy.
"Hello" he said, smiling warmly, and cracking his neck a bit in the process. He had long, silver hair, pulled back into a pony-tail. Two strand of his hair were hanging over his left eye, and one over his right. Tied around his head was a black bandana. He was wearing baggy black jeans, no shirt though. He was wearing black boots, and black gloves on his hands, reaching to his wrists with a sort of metal cuff, and a few square cut to show his skin through them. "I'm Fire" he said warmly, cracking his wrist. Rachel's eye twitched a bit.
"And, finally, our last member, this is Brian Anderson" Mickey said, pointing to the green eyed guy.
"Uh, hi" he said in a low voice. "I'm earth" he stated, looking away. He seemed to want to get out of there as soon as possible. Unlike everyone else, who was still a teen, he looked to be in his twenties, maybe just starting. He had plain, brown hair, hanging loosely around his head. He was wearing black shoes, worn blue jeans, and an orange t-shirt. Around his head was an orange bandana. (A/N I'm sorry, Brian, if I didn't get your character the way you imagined, but you didn't give me much to work with. You didn't give me much to work with, so I winged it best I could. Sorry.)
"Now that everyone's introduced, how about the pizza?" Mickey asked. "Oh, and, everyone, this is where we will meet each morning, to discuss assignments and updates. Everyone is to be here by 10 am, or you will miss out on missions and new capabilities" Mickey said. She walked to the middle of the room, pressing the button on the floor, the hologram and remote disappearing.
"Uh, Mickey, are you alright?" Kitara said, speaking up after a very uncomfortable silence.
"Yes, I'm fine" Mickey said, with a small smile. "Shall I lead you to the dinning room then. Since Alethia doesn't have the pizza, Alex will be bringing it there" Mickey said, walking out of the area.
"Alex?" Tami asked.
"Yes, the pizza android" Mickey said simply, walking down a lavender colored hallway. They stopped in front of two glass doors, though you couldn't see through them. Mickey looked back, seeing the whole team behind her. She smiled, as if a large weight had been taken from her shoulders. Pushing open the doors, a large table was revealed. The chairs were of all different colors, five on each long side of the glass table. Then there was a chair at the head and at the end.
Everyone stood there for a moment, as Mickey sat on the chair at the head, a black one with a mesh crimson layer over it. Everyone, seeing to get how it worked, walked over to their chairs. Kai sat on the right of Mickey, his chair black with a dark blue cover.
Kitara sat on the left of Mickey, her chair completely black, with no other color. Alethia sat next to Kitara, her chair black with a green cover. Next to Alethia sat Sai, in a black chair with a white covering. Next to Sai was Tami, in a yellow chair with a white covering. Next to Tami sat Windy in a blue chair with a gray covering.
At the end of the table sat Brian, his chair the brightest in the room, being orange with a red covering.
On the other side of the table, next to Kai, sat Rachel in a blue chair with a silver covering. Next to her sat Rem, in a white chair with an ice blue covering. Next to her sat Caylin, sitting in a blue chair with a purple covering. And next to Caylin, at the end and in a way sitting next to Brian, sat Ran in a dark, almost black green chair, with a gray covering.
In front of each person was a Japanese set of dinner ware, but there were also forks, spoons, and knives, just in case.
The doors opened and a girl walked in. She had long blue hair, pulled into a clip at the side of her head. She had incredibly pale skin, and was wearing faded black jeans and a green, off the shoulder, long sleeved shirt. The only thing odd about her was that her eyes were completely black, and she didn't seem to blink.
"Thank you Alex" Mickey said to the girl as she set the pizza's down on the table. There were five. Three cheese, one pepperoni, and one with everything. (A/N I don't know what kind of pizza everyone likes, or if someone doesn't like pizza. Yes, that may sound funny, but some people don't. Most people eat cheese and pepperoni, so I had to put those, and the everything one just because.)
"No problem" the girl said in a monotone voice, turning and walking out of the room.
"Wow…our first encounter with an android" Sai said.
"Hey, I met it first" Rachel and Alethia said at the same time.
"Can we please not fight?" Kitara asked with a sigh. No one seemed to listen as they all grabbed pizza and began to eat and talk.
Mickey watched as everyone was brought into conversation, and she tapped her cup, instantly filling it with a brown liquid. She lifted it to her lips, sipping some in, when she heard a loud shatter.
"What was that?" Mickey asked, setting the cup down. Everyone was quiet. "Is anyone going to tell me?" Mickey asked, looking around at everyone. "Fine then, you give me no choice" Mickey said, closing her eyes.
"Yeah, maybe we should have mentioned she could read minds" Kai said quietly. She opened her eyes, and looked at Sai.
"It's alright to break a dish, just not when you're hurling it at someone" she said to him in a quiet voice, though the whole table heard her. "I don't want to think that you all can keep something from me that I should know about, like breaking something or hurting someone, something like that. Other things I do not pry on, but we are all like each others family now. You'll have to learn to get used to it" Mickey advised. Finishing off her drink, she stood.
"Girls, after you have finished your meal, I would like you all to meet me in my room. Boys…you are free to do anything you like" Mickey stated. She left the room, the door swinging slightly in her wake.
"Did she even eat any pizza?" Windy asked.
"I don't think so" Rem said.
"I wonder what she has in store for us" Tami pondered, sitting Indian style in her chair.
"Makes me excited" Caylin said.
"I'm not so hungry anymore" Rachel commented.
"Neither am I, how about we all just go now" Kitara said. So the girls all stood, the food on their plates disappearing to god-knows-where, and they left.
"Great, what are we supposed to do?" Sai asked, sinking into his seat.
"Well, I don't know about you guys, but I'm going to go see what their up to" Kai said. Standing, he left the room.
"Hmm, maybe I'll go to" Sai said. "Any of you interested?" He asked the others. Ran didn't answer, neither did Brian. "I'll take that as a yes" he grabbed each of them by the wrist, and pulled them out of the room.
"Thought you'd see it my way" Kai said, as they walked along the halls.
"Why not use the hologram machine?" Ran asked.
"Knowing Mickey, she probably disabled the camera in her room, and all the other girls' rooms" Kai said.
"What about ours?" Brian said.
"No…because we could see into Ran's room earlier" Kai said, ducking a punch that Ran had directed at him. "I guess we have to ask to have ours disabled" Kai pointed out. They reached the door, and heard the girls talking inside.
"A slumber party?" Rachel asked.
"Just to celebrate, just us girls" Mickey said.
"Exciting" Tami said.
"All of you gather your supplies and meet me at the multi-form room" Mickey instructed. "All you need are your pajamas, and if you want, a plushie, bring your animals if you like as well. Dismissed" Mickey said. The boys hid behind the corner as the girls filed out and disappeared to their rooms. Alethia stopped as she stepped out of Mickey's room though.
"Uh, Mickey, what about the boys and the holographic projector?" Alethia asked.
"Don't worry, I've disabled the camera in that room and ours" Mickey said. "They won't see or hear anything" she promised, as her door closed and Alethia walked into her room.
"There goes our evening" Sai muttered.
"Wait, I have an idea" Brian said.
~*~*~
"How the hell is this supposed to help?" Kai asked. They were all stuffed inside a closet inside the multi-form room.
"We can hear them, can't we?" Brian asked, as if very happy with his plan.
"Will you both shut up, their coming" Sai said as the door opened.
~*~*~
"Wow, it really is a multi-form room. I mean, the sleeping bags even have our colors and kanji symbols" Kitara said. She was wearing baggy blue pants in a velvety material. She was wearing a tank top that went about two and a half inches above her belly button. There was a red heart in the center with wings, saying 'Angel?' across it. The straps of the tank were pink, as was the top, border strap.
"Well, I read the Harry Potter series and then had this room built" Mickey said. She was wearing baggy, black silk pants that went to her knees. They were in a Japanese style, with a crimson border at the end of the pant leg about two inches thick. There was a crimson string going through the top of the pants, and coming out in a bow. There were crimson roses and vines decorating the fabric. She was wearing a black, silk tank top with a red rose in the middle.
Around her shoulders was a robe that only reached down to her hips. It was also in black silk. There was a two inch border of crimson silk at the sleeves, and around the opening, embroidered with black vines and roses. The rope that would tie the robe together was made of black silk and hanging to her sides limply.
"I'm glad, to think, we can go here at one point and there could be a swimming pool" Tami laughed, as she sprawled out on a yellow sleeping bag. She was wearing a pair of shorts, with a huge pink t-shirt, a white's sports-bra seen through it.
"Yeah, we can come and practice with our powers here as well" Alethia said, as she fell onto a bean bag in the color green. She was wearing plaid, pajama pants, with a white tank.
"Considering it's been a long day, I'm not as exhausted as I thought I would be" Caylin said. She was wearing a long, white tank top with a pair of purple shorts.
"I know…pretty weird" Rachel said as she stretched and looked up at the ceiling. She was wearing silky, light blue short shorts, with a matching tank top with an angel in the center.
"Wow, look at that. We can see through the ceiling, look at the stars" Rem said, reaching her hand up from where she was lying on the floor. She was wearing a white tank with her name on it in ice blue letters, and ice blue short shorts.
"Look! You can see a few of the planets too" Windy said, pointing to a large one covered in clouds. She was wearing a white tank top and magenta, pajama pants.
"That's the Studio Ghibli planet" Mickey pointed out.
"What's that?" Alethia asked, tucking her knees under her chin.
"Well, it has things there like characters from Spirited Away, Laputa, Kiki's Delivery Service, thing like that" Mickey said. The door of the room opened, and Alex and a few other androids came in. They put down millions upon millions of snacks, then left.
"This is what I call service" Windy smiled, sliding in front of the food.
"So, what should we do first?" Rachel asked.
"Truth or Dare!" Rem, Alethia, Caylin, and Windy yelled at the same time.
"Alright, everyone gather round then" Mickey said. Everyone sat on their sleeping bags, around the circle, the snacks in the middle. "Alethia, you may go first" Mickey said.
"Alright."
