Chap 4: Love is funny
It was the next day, and everyone was pulling together to make room for Phoenix.
"I've made your own transportation tunnel," Otto said to Phoenix, "Now you can come with us on missions, even though your piloting the knees."
"Hey, at least I'm piloting something," Phoenix laughed, "Thanks Otto."
Otto smiled, then left the room. Not long after that, Gibson entered.
"Hi Gibson." Phoenix said, waving.
"Hello." Gibson said back, except he didn't wave. He didn't see the point.
"It's nice to know people are being nice to me," Phoenix sighed, " But, do you think this is all a bit much?"
"What do you mean?" Gibson asked.
"Well," She said, "It's nice and all, but I'm feeling a bit spoilt."
"Oh." Gibson said, staring at the floor in disappointment.
"Oh, I didn't mean to offend you." Phoenix said quickly, grabbing his hand trying to make him feel better.
The two immediately stared at their hands, now locked in each other's grasp.
Their faces immediately turned red in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry." Phoenix said, tearing her hand away from his, "I didn't mean to do that."
"It's Ok." Gibson blushed.
Phoenix smiled, then left the room. This left Gibson thinking to himself;
Maybe Sparx was right, maybe she does like me.
Meanwhile, Sparx and Nova were outside, still going on about the dare kiss they had to do the day before.
"What gave Otto the right to think he could do that!" Nova said.
"I have no idea," Sparx sighed, "But you were a good kisser though."
"What?" Nova asked, her eyes widening.
"I didn't say anything!" Sparx quickly said blushing.
"No really, what did you say?" Nova asked, not realising she was about trip over an outgrown tree root.
She stumbled and fell on top of Sparx, knocking him to the floor. But, the way they landed was like they were about to kiss.
They immediately started blushing.
"Er, sorry about that." Nova said jumping up from the ground, "I must have tripped or something."
"It's Ok," Sparx blushed, "You didn't mean to."
Just like Phoenix, Nova smiled, then left.
Then, just like Gibson, Sparx wondered whether Nova liked him too.
