Chapter 3
A Name as Pretty as a Color
The girl looked over to where Alexis sat on the edge of the large metal 'bed.' "What are you doing?" She inquired.
Alexis didn't even look over her shoulder. "I couldn't go on this mission because I had to stay here with you. So now instead of experiencing the action first hand I'm stuck here watching the feedback from Laserbeak via computer."
"Oh." The girl sat up, gripping her head. "I'm sorry if you're mad at me. I didn't mean for you to miss anything."
Alexis sighed. "It's not your fault." She said outwardly to make the girl feel good, but inwardly she screamed angrily at her.
"So, where am I?" The tall blonde asked as she rose, testing her legs as she carefully made her way to Alexis. She took a step forward but instantly a sharp pain rose through her left leg, forcing her to kneel down and grip her ankle.
"Hey, don't hurt yourself more than you already are." Alexis turned and came beside the girl. "You've probably got a sprained ankle."
The girl grimaced. "No. A sprain doesn't hurt this bad. I'm pretty sure it's a fracture."
"How do you know?" Alexis demanded. "You can't even remember your name."
The girl grinned up at her. "I don't know how but I just know that it's a fracture and that I should probably splint it. It's probably just a hairline one. Not completely through the bone but enough to cause pain and misery."
Alexis raised her eyebrow as she set about fetching various things that girl said she needed. "Okay.that was weird."
After all that was said and done Alexis let the girl ride Sureshock as she took her through a tour of the base.
"Hey, that's that thing that I found in the woods." The girl pointed to the mini con panel that still lay dormant.
"That's a mini con." Alexis explained.
"Ooh." The girl reached out as if to touch it. Suddenly there was a bright light coming from the panel and the girl sat there mesmerized by the pretty colors as a brilliant green mini con appeared.
At this very time everyone was warping back from the mission and walked in just in time to see the spectacular event.
"I don't get it." Red Alert said. "That mini con wouldn't wake up before."
In a matter of moments the swirling lights were gone and there stood the mini con looking over its reviver.
"Beep bleep bloop." The mini con beeped, extending its hand to its new found friend.
The girl, still dazed, finally reached out her hand to the robot.
"It's.it's so pretty." The girl stammered.
"Yeah, it is a pretty cute mini con." Alexis beamed.
"No. It's color. What is it?" She said.
"Hmm. I suppose you could say it's a sort of emerald green." Alexis thought a moment.
"E-m-e-r-a-l-d." The girl repeated, letting each syllable roll off her tongue. "The name itself is so pretty. That's what I want to be called."
"You want to be called Emerald?" Carlos blurted.
"No." She shook her head at the troop that stood by the door. "More like Emriald. But any form of it should do nicely."
"So." Hot Shot mused, "Can we call you Emrial of Emmy instead? There much easier and shorter to say."
"Any name will do." Emrial smiled up at her newfound friends.
a/n: I know, it's short and lame. just bear with me okay? what I really want to get to writing is a few chapters that are up the line but to get there we have to have these chapters. I know this one is short. I meant for it to be longer but I really g2g b4 my mom gets mad at me and bans me from the computer. so, I gotta go now. plz review. I'll try to update a.s.a.p.
