An old friend remembered

It was early on a Saturday morning, and those that had to work were sharing similar pained looks on their faces as they trudged along. It was around this time, a train pulled into Shugazoom City train station, and a small mass of travellers and tired-looking employees moved out, well, en masse. Once out, they spread out, some headed for other trains, some for their jobs, and others to various different places. And, among these other people, was a particular person. One who stood out more, one who the other passengers had tried to avoid more than any other passenger, well not as much as that creepy hobo who walked around in a loincloth and waved a sign around, but they still avoided her like the plague. Why? Because they were shallow, low-life, no good, lousy, little... um. I mean, because she was albino. Yes, they were afraid that if they touched or sat near to her they would become diseased too. But she wasn't bitter, no; she actually preferred the solitude, as she'd always been with her twin brother before she came out here. They would always be together, eating, playing, sleeping etc. So she'd smiled to herself and relished the extra space that was never possible to get on trains. But now, she was out and free, breathing in the fresh air. She dumped her bag on the floor and relished the view of the city she'd left six years ago when her dad got promoted. She stood up and one could see that she was actually kinda short, for a sixteen year old at least, with a medium build ( the I-do-eat-but-I'm-not-obese sort of size) and her white hair was tied loosely back in a pony tail and it spilled out down to the small of her back messily. Her bright, blue eyes shone with tears as she smiled nostalgically at her old home, and she wrapped her pale arms around herself to keep warm as she stared, then she picked up her bag and walked into the city.

Inside the Super Robot, the Monkey Team slept on peacefully. And, each was having their own dreams and fantasies fulfilled. Sprx moaned quietly in his sleep as he rolled onto his side... um yeah, let's leave him alone. But, someone was about to have a dream that would change his life forever.

Antauri looked around to see that he was on a bed and beside him laid another robot monkey. This startled him, he'd never seen this one before; she was small, a lot shorter than he was, and white, with a pink stomach and end to her tail, the stripe on her head was light blue with a pink heart shape on her forehead and around her neck was a dark blue ribbon with a heart shaped gem on it that seemed to glow with happiness. She had white wings that were joined to her magnetically, so they seemed to float up and down as she breathed. She looked so peaceful, so sweet, and so... beautiful. He knew he'd never seen her before yet he felt so strongly attached to her that he crawled over and reached down to kiss her. "Antauri?" came a small quiet voice, he looked up in shock and saw that she was awake, she smiled at him and he felt a strange sensation in his lower stomach. She closed her eyes again "I love you" she whispered, he couldn't help smiling and he was about to reply when the room started to melt before his eyes. He gasped. Antauri sat up in his bed and looked around. Nothing. No girl there. It'd been a dream. He flopped back down with a sigh, letting his mind wander as he stared at the ceiling. 'Who was that?' he thought, pondering mildly if it had been a dream or a premonition before falling asleep again.

Chiro grumbled to himself as he rifled through the junk he kept in his cupboards. Toys, books, clothes and various objects flew out behind him as he searched through the mess. Sprx dodged the projectiles as he made his way to Chiro, curious to see what Chiro was looking for. "Hey kid" he said as he dodged a book, "Whatcha looking for?" he watched Chiro sit up then turn and smile at him. "Hey Sprx" he said, before turning back to the mess, "I was just looking for my old photo album. That's all." Sprx looked down at the mess, then back, "whatever you want it for must be pretty special for you to try digging through that mess. Seriously, kid, you sure it ain't decomposed being in that pile so long?" he joked, looking at Chiro, who looked doubtfully at the pile. "I hope not" he said, "I just wish I could find it" before readying himself to dig through. "Perhaps, I could help?" asked a deep voice from the doorway. Chiro and Sprx looked back to see Antauri hovering over the battlefield of Chiro's bedroom towards them. He landed in front of them and looked at the pile, "umm Antauri? How are you gonna find this thing, when you 1: don't know what it looks like and 2: Are more likely to just get sucked into it?" asked Sprx, looking from monkey to pile in disbelief. Antauri smiled at him, before lifting his hand and causing the pile to shift, revealing a dark blue, battered photo album with My Album scrawled on the front. "That's how" he said simply, before reaching in to pull out the album. He handed it to Chiro, looking at it curiously, "why do you need this, Chiro?" he asked, as Chiro flipped through the pages of old, tatty photos. Some showed Chiro as a baby, others had his friends in them. Then Chiro stopped on a page with pictures of him with a girl and a boy. The weird thing was, the two kids looked identical. They both looked about 10, had bright blue eyes, deathly pale skin, and pure white hair to their shoulders. But; what shocked Antauri was that the girl's eyes seemed exactly like the monkey girl's from his dream, and the more he looked, the more similarities he noticed. He shook his head, and looked up at Chiro, "Chiro? Who is that girl?" he asked, pointing to a picture with said girl in it. Chiro looked at where Antauri pointed, "Oh that's Ichigo! She was my babysitter years and years ago, before she moved away. And that..." he pointed to the boy beside her, "was her twin brother Ryou (yes I also got this name from Tokyo Mew Mew too! Go girliness!). In fact, she's the reason I was digging through that mess, I got a letter from her saying she was moving back into Shugazoom, to study at Shugazoom University! Well, I kinda offered her to stay here with us, then I went all nostalgic and wanted to remind myself of how she looked when she lived here before" Antauri continued to stare at the girl in a slightly disbelieving way, "what's up, Antauri? Don't tell me you've fallen for her!" joked Sprx, nudging Antauri with his elbow. Antauri's head shot straight and one could see the tiniest of blushes on his face (Aww cute!), "No!" he said quickly, "I mean, no, no it isn't that at all! It's just..." "That you fancy her." cut off Sprx, who promptly started to do..., inappropriate actions. "Sprx!" yelled Antauri, face now slightly more red (you can't see it much cos of his black fur, see?), "It isn't that! Besides, I would never do such... appalling things to a little girl" Chiro chose that moment to appear again, "Um... actually, she won't be a little girl anymore; this photo was taken six years ago, when she was ten, so now she's..." "One hot chick, woo cha!" cut in Sprx, startling Chiro and resulting in being smacked up the head by Antauri, who was now glowing bright red despite the black fur, Sprx looked up and winked at Antauri, "and I'm sure Antauri would looove to meet her!" he teased, a big grin trying to take over his face. Antauri's eyes widened as Sprx began to describe how... voluptuous the older Ichigo would be. He gasped and was about to yell at him, when someone beat him to it. (and I'm sure we can guess who? Right, kids?) "Sprx!" yelled an enraged female voice, making everyone in the room turn to the source. There, in her intimidating full 2' 4" height (no idea if that's true. Just guessing, but she is small), stood a very cranky, very wet, very frightening Nova. "Uh, Nova! Hey babe! What's up? Why are you soaked? Or is that what happens whenever you see me now?" he flashed his ever- perverted grin, looking up and down Nova as she steamed (literally! She was so ticked that the water on her was evaporating!), causing Sprx's grin to waver slightly. "Seriously, Nova, why are you... drenched" asked Antauri, checking himself quickly, so as not to add more perverted thoughts to growing list in Sprx's head. "I'll tell you why, Antauri" said Nova, in a dangerously quiet voice, "that freaking pervert!" she yelled, pointing at Sprx, "Changed the timer on the shower so all the water came out cold after he used it!" she snarled, glaring at said monkey. Sprx stared back at her, then, as innocently as he could, said, "Ho- how'd you know it was me? Or were you watching me in the shower, Nova?" he added, slyly on the end. Nova blushed, then threw a damp magazine in his face, "I found that in there!" Antauri looked over and saw it was a Playmonkey magazine; he gasped and quickly covered Chiro's eyes. "Wha? Hey, Antauri!" Chiro whined, trying to free himself, "what's wrong? Let go!" Antauri tried to collect himself, whilst still covering Chiro's eyes, "there are things in that magazine that aren't for little boys!" he said quickly, signalling to Sprx that he should hide it. Sprx quickly ran out with said magazine, Nova trailing after and a line of water trailing her. Antauri breathed a sigh of relief and uncovered Chiro's eyes. "I'm sorry, Chiro, but that magazine isn't appropriate for your age group" he explained once Chiro had turned to face him. Chiro humphed indignantly, "Shows what you know, Sprx has already shown me one of his Playmonkey magazines!" he said, triumphantly, Antauri facevaulted and looked pretty stunned. "He- he what!" yelled Antauri, steaming mad that Sprx would do such a thing. "Yeah" said Chiro, grinning, "Here! I'll show it to you!" he said, jumping up and searching. Antauri jumped slightly, "Umm... no, that's alright, Chiro, IneedtogofindSprxandkillhim.Bye!" and with that he ran like crazy from Chiro's bedroom. Gibson and Otto (where da heck have they been?) watched as their second in command ran screaming out death threats at Sprx and Chiro appeared at his doorway after. He raised an eyebrow, "What's the deal?" said Chiro, holding up a children's comic book, "I was just gonna show him the Play Monkey comic, Sprx gave me!"

Well? How was that? Too long? Too pointless? Review and tell me your thoughts. Oh, and for those who couldn't, or are too lazy to, figure out the pairing: it is AntauriXOC! Cookies for all who thought right!
