*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So, you're telling me that this 'Shalo' gentleman interfered with your fantasy. What ever happened to the 'Save Josephine' operation?" 004 asided. 002 looked at Albert with an allusion of bewilderment in his brown eyes. He shrugged. "First things first. Yes, there was this 'Shalo' dude in my 'fantasy', as you call it. But, the intimidating piece was that, the experience was so genuine. Every strike he disembarked on me felt like an unswerving assault on my apparently cadaver body. And, his words, they radiate with antagonism and rage. I had no sense on what was going on near me. For that moment, I disregarded all judgments about Josephine, which is daunting. I can't believe I lost concentration on the one thing that matter the most in my soul.her. 004, I'm totally confused. I need to be isolated for a while." Jet said, clearly baffled by his nightmare of an authenticity.

It was more of a statement than a question. Albert nodded, understanding the immense uncertainty scorching in the American's chocolate eyes. Alex starred from one cyborg to the next. "What's going on here? Tell me! I'm not invisible, ya know?!" Alex exclaimed, disturbing the silence of 004 and 002's thought conversation. Albert smiled gently. "Come on, Alex. 002 needs to straighten out his thoughts. Let's get back to the ship. There was a loud ripping sound that echoed through the forest. 004 threw the yellow piece of cloth in the air and artistically injected it with an accurate amount of bullets. The piece of fabric fluttered down into Jet's hands. The fabric was genuinely marked by 004's 'bullet' handwriting.

"Coordinates to the Dolphin. It flies west at approximately 60 miles
an hour. After this night, you might be able to catch up with us at
dusk. I hope you'll be able to sort things out by then."

With that, Albert motioned for 0017 Red to follow him.

"Let's go, Alex. I bet cha' the others are worrying about us by now."

Alex nodded, finally understanding the problems that were swirling inside 002's thoughts. "Be careful, Jet. It gets really cold out in the morning," Alex commented, using the softest voice possible with 002. Jet nodded.

"Thanks. Don't' worry about me. I'll be there.I hope."

Jet nodded over at 004, and Albert nodded back. "Tell the others not to worry about me. I'll catch up with you guys later," he said. Alex nodded.

"Sure. Now, don't get yourself killed. I'd hate to see Josephine see you hurt."

002 winced at the sound of his lover's name. Luckily, no one caught his pain that was boiling inside of him. Jet managed to put on a façade smile. "Tell Vivianne that I'm sorry," he said.

004 and Alex took off into the air and over the clouds. When 002 was sure that they couldn't hear him, he screamed out in agony. Tears rolled down his tanned face like luminous pearls. All the anger, the pain, the sorrow that was held up inside, broke though into harsh, rapid howls. Jet sunk to the fertile soil with a loud thump, tears sparkling in the sunlight that was slowly, yet steadily, rising upon the mourning, gloomy globe.

004 whipped back his head, knowing that familiar scream anywhere. He sighed. "What's the matter, Albert?" Alex asked. Albert shrugged. "Nothing. It was nothing. Just the wind," 004 said. His gaze kept turning towards the area where 002's scream was heard.

"Does it hurt that much, 002?"

Everyone was uneasy upon the two cyborgs disappearance. 001 was sound asleep in his crib, while 003 was singing softly to him. 005 sat on the rug, trying to raise his spiritual awareness. 006 was in he kitchen with 007 cooking up a dish so incredible that the aroma drifted into the living room. Stomachs growled. 008 was on the couch, reading a book. 009 paced back and forth on the rug, while both Dr. Gilmore and Vivianne watched him. The stillness was impeccable, and Vivianne couldn't stand it. She stood up. "That's it. I can't take it any more. I'm going to find the others. 009, if you keep pacing back and forth, you're gonna ware a hole in the rug," 0026 suddenly shouted. The 00 Cyborgs stared up unexpectedly at the impatient cyborg. "Calm down, Vivianne. They're coming soon. I feel their spirit," 005 said. 003 smiled. "He's right. But, wait! There's only two of them. Where's 002?" 003 shrilled loudly.

The door swung open and a gust of wind blew into the Dolphin, chilling everyone to the bone. 009 quickly walked up to him. "Where's 002, 004?" he asked quickly. Albert frowned. "Jet needed some time alone. So, I left him back in the forest. Here's something wrong with him. But, I did give him our coordinates," 004 said, before 003 started attacking him. "What?! You just left him outside to starve?! How could you? 002 must be feeling so alone, now. And, you call yourself a friend. Hmp." 003 said before stalking out to her room.

"But, wait!! He had to straighten things out!"

A door slammed loudly. 004 sighed before sinking to the delicate, rubbing his temples furiously. 008 winced. "Well, that's never a good sign," he said. Alex sat on the arm, trying to coax her lover. "It's all right, Albert. 003's just confused. She'll come around," Alex said, trying to comfort him. Albert smiled and drew her into his lap. "Thanks. I feel much better, now," he said. Dr. Gilmore reverted his glance back towards the loving couple.

"So, 004. Do tell us, what's wrong with 002?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"No. don't you touch that. no, no, anything but that. *sound of
breaking glass* oh man, not the China. wait, no. you wouldn't
dare.that's it, I'm gonna kill you!!"

0010 Plus chased Josephine around the house. She stuck out her tongue. "Slow poke. You've got to catch me first. Ha, ha!!" 0010 Plus growled and stopped running. Josephine did a flip and landed perfectly on the top of the shelf of books. "Are you tired, already? I was just getting warmed up," she taunted. 0010 Plus glared at the fun-loving girl. 0010 Minus was sprawled on the couch. "I'm. tired. Brother. Who. knew. this.girl.could. run. so. fast." 0010 minus managed to say between breaths. "I've got a plan," 0010 Plus whispered.

"What is it?"

"Okay, here's the plan. You corner her from one side and I'll get her on the other side. We'll get her for sure."

0010 Minus nodded at his brother. "I sure hop this works," he replied. 0010 Plus stared at him. "When have I ever let you down, Brother?" 0010 Plus asked. His brother sighed. "More times than you can ever imagine," he mumbled. "Come on, I'm not getting any younger over here," Josephine yelled. John growled deeply.

"I'm gonna make you pay for the China you broke!!"

0017 Black laughed. "Whatever, old man!" she yelled cheerfully. John popped a vain.

"Old... man.Oh, that's it. You're gonna get it!!"

He started to chase Josephine all around the house. "Quick, Jean. Now!!" John yelled. Jean blocked Josephine's escape route. "I'm gonna die," Jean thought to himself. Josephine smirked. "Oh, you can ALL do better than THAT." As graceful as a swan and as swift as a fox, Josephine flipped over Jean and landed like a tiger. Behind her, he could hear the crash of the twin brothers. "Ow." Jean said, "I knew I was gonna get hurt."

"Oh, shut it!"

"No, YOU shut it. This was YOUR brilliant idea. You should take the credit."

"Did not."

"Did too!"

"DID NOT!!"

"DID TOO!!"

"BE QUIET!!" Josephine yelled. Silence engulfed the three cyborgs. She cleared her throat.

"Thank you. Now, I'd like to continue. You're speeds have really
rusted up over the years. You need training, both of you. Starting
next morning, I'LL be the one who's training you. But for now."

Josephine's stomach growled. "I'm hungry," she said sheepishly. The twins sweat-dropped.

"Time to make something to eat!"

Within seconds, Josephine put on her special apron and went into the kitchen. "I hope you guys like steak!" she yelled from the kitchen. John and Jean quickly untangled themselves from the floor. John combed a hand in his brilliant silver hair. "This is a total mess. Oh well, I guess I'll clean it up later," he said, observing the messy room. Lamps were knocked over, pieces of glass were shattered everywhere, and the wallpaper was torn into pieces. It was simply a mess. John thought about the action that caused this consequence.

((Flashback))

The 0010 Brothers' hideout was a beach house close to the shore. As 0010 noted the missing Josephine, he went out to find her. What he saw dazzled him. Josephine was surfing in the ocean, ripping killer moves. 0010 watched the agile body of the living angel in front of him. Her black her illuminated in the brilliance of the sunlight. The pearls of water splashed around her, forming the perfect, angelic picture. When Josephine came in, 0010 finally noticed that he was staring at her. He quickly snapped his gaze away and became suddenly interested in his feet. 0017 Black stopped in front of the blushing cyborg. "You were observing my surfing moves, I see. Why? Do you see something you like?" Josephine said, flirting a bit with the red-face John. His blush turned to anger and started to chase her around their property. Josephine dropped her surf board and started running as fast as she could."

((End Flashback))

John sighed. "But, she looked so beautiful. The way her body bends and curves in the right motion. Her rich, luscious lips. What am I thinking? No, I've fallen in love with an angel.with her." John sighed in desperation. "Lunch is ready!!" Josephine yelled from the kitchen. John and Jean walked into the kitchen to see a bounty feast, fit for a king. "Wow." Jean was speechless. She was a better cook than him. Josephine looked at their expressions. "You don't like it, do you? Is it not enough? Is it too much? Oh, I knew I shouldn't have put that pinch of salt in." 0010 Plus held Josephine by the shoulders, stopping her from blabbering on.

"No, no. It's all right. The food's fine. We're just amazed, that's all."

Josephine blushed at the closeness between the two. Their faces were only inches apart. John also realized their closeness and let go of Josephine. He backed away. Josephine grabbed him by the arms and dragged him off into the living room {the messy one}.

Just as Jean was about to follow, Josephine's head popped in the doorway. "You stay here. This conversation is private. You're too young," she said. 0010 minus pouted as he turned back to the food. "Too young! Ha!! I'm only two minutes younger than my brother. I'd like to know what she defines old," Jean mumbled to himself.

"What is it?" John asked. Josephine looked deeply into John's eyes. What she found was not lust, but love. Her eye softened. 0010 Plus sighed. "You read me like a book," he said. Josephine hugged him in a deep embrace. "Oh, John. You know I love Jet. To me, you're like my older brother. And, I respect that. But, I can't love you the way you love me. I'm so sorry," she said. John returned the embrace and smiled. "It's alright. I know I can never win you're love. You're love is with 002. But, it's good to know that you still consider me more than a friend, if not that way," he said. Josephine frowned and buried her head into John's chest.

"I'm so sorry, John. I can't return your love."

Josephine stepped out of his embrace and stood on her tiptoes. She leaned in and gently kissed John on the cheek. She smiled sadly. I'm so sorry. Once again, she kissed John, but on the other cheek. Walking out, Josephine went back into the kitchen to eat, leaving a tainted pink John. He blinked, trying to register what happened. "She kissed me!" his brain screamed. A small smile slowly formed at his lips as he also went back into the kitchen to finish his meal.
