ZP: Another exciting chapter of my life.
Camouflage: was I really two separate beings at one time?
ZP: Yes, unfortunately. I like you both ways, so no big loss.
Wolfsbane: Just get on with the fic.
"Where is this Dad?"
"It's the cave where I found your mother."
"Mom lived in a cave?"
"Its more complicated than that."
"What do you mean?"
"This could take a while…"
"You promised and we have all day!"
"Sit down, this will take a while."
Z and Bit zoomed down the street; Bit trailing far behind at Z's early lead. The school came into sight and the school gates started to close.
"We're going to miss it!" shouted Bit as the gates closed to two feet. The two were twenty and ten feet away, respectively.
"You're going to miss it!" replied Z as she threw her bag between the gates and zoomed past, her skin literally touching the edge of the gate. "Made it!"
"Z, this is entirely your fault that I'm getting detention!"
"You didn't have to come to the shop and get me…"
Bit started mumbling as he went to the late door on the other side of the school. Z watched him go with a big grin plastered on her face.
"Got to go get ready! I must look like a mess…" true to what she said, Z's ponytail was slipping and her clothes made her look like she just came out of a closet with someone.
"That's true. Who'd ya do it with? The guy you left locked outside?"
"What? Who're you?" asked Z as she turned around.
"Komy Anders. You didn't answer my question," replied the black haired girl.
"I wasn't. I was working in my dad's shop and Bit came to tell me I was running late, so we had a skateboard race to get here."
"Oh. Well why does he act like he's seen you topless?"
Z blushed at this, "You could tell? In my rush to get ready I changed shirts with him standing there. He's got two lovely red marks, one on either side of his face, for it."
"At least you can assert some power. I doubt my sister ever will."
"Sister? Then you guys must be new here. The last time we had two sisters in the same school was…"
"No, you've got it wrong. Yes, I'm new, but my sister is two years younger."
"Makes sense. Do you need help getting to classes?"
"Yes, but you'll need to clean up first."
"Shut up. Meet me outside the girls' locker room in ten. I'll show you around then," replied Z.
"But won't class have started?"
Z waved a piece of paper in front of Komy, "Nope. Study hall is a wonderful thing."
Komy looked around and yelled, "That's my schedule! Give it here!"
"Be careful, I'm quite the pickpocket."
"I'll keep that in mind."
Z walked over to the locker room after giving Komy her schedule and proceeded to change.
Komy stood outside the locker room door as Z came out. She wore a pair of baggy dark blue jeans that were held up by a black belt with a liger head as the buckle. Her hair was up in a neat high ponytail and she had on a white tank top underneath a long sleeved blue shirt.
"You clean up nice."
"No duh. I'm me."
"Because that's so thought stirring…"
"Shut up."
The two walked around, meeting teachers. It seemed they had identical schedules so Z just offered to let Komy tail along.
"So, are you popular, or should I go see someone else about that?" asked Komy as their last class ended.
"Did you just move to this planet? Everyone knows I'm the best underage pilot on Zi!"
"Wait, you're that Z? That's so cool!"
"I don't like to flaunt it, but I get a lot of respect. So, do you need to pick up your sister?"
"Oh, I almost forgot. Yeah, I do so we can finish unpacking. Sharing a room with her is going to be a pain in the ass."
"You have an apartment?"
Komy nodded solemnly. It seemed she wasn't a big family person.
"We have plenty of extra room at the shop. Maybe you guys could stay with us. As long as your parents pitch in for food, I'm sure dad won't mind. I'll text him."
"Wha-?"
"Hold on."
902-555-1234: dad, can we have some ppl liv w/us?
902-555-5678: if they'll pay 4 food, sure, I just want a reason l8r
902-555-1234: thanx so much! We'll need the Gustav. I'll cum by soon.
"My dad says it's cool."
"Let's go get your sister and we'll go to my place for the Gustav."
"What's a gustav?"
"How do you not know? It's a transportation Zoid."
"Sorry. Forgot. Let's get to the middle school."
"So spill dad."
"Your mother isn't completely Zodian, and I'm not Zodian at all. Z, do you remember reading about the Ancient Zodians?"
"Of course. They are one of the few links to the past that we have. Why? I thought they were extinct…"
"They aren't. Your mother and I are both half Ancient Zodian. In fact, your grandparents are Raven and Ryss the heroes."
"Really? That's so awesome!"
"Yes, but you are also part Earther. The Earthers are the ones that took your mother away."
"How could they?"
"She was different. They don't understand different."
