Chapter 2

"Don't you think its time to tell people about us?" Robbie asked.

"You know, I'm actually surprised that no one has found out. In a small town like this everybody knows everything." Amanda said as she held onto Robbie's hand. He had stopped flinching a while ago.

"You know I was a bundle of nerves when I asked you if you wanted to be just friends but when you and I became we it just felt so good. I don't think my transition would've been so easy without you." Robbie confided.

"All those things that happened in the past are over. You are a different person. I missed you so much while I was away." Amanda said.

"I missed you too." Robbie said as he kissed her cheek.

"Well I have to get back to Stephanie. Wanna come with me?" she asked. Robbie said he would. The two promised each other when the time was right they would tell everyone.

Eysteinn returned to his sniper's nest atop the unfinished building near Town Hall. The building was supposed to have housed some new business that hadn't come to fruition. It was a perfect place to be unnoticed.

He crawled under his camouflage netting and lined up the scope on his M82A3 rifle. Though his Eysteinn was Icelandic he had become an American citizen and even joined the United States Marine Corps, where he got his rifle. It sat on its tripod and he made sure everything was in place.

The M82A3 had a maximum effective range of 1800 meters (5905.51 feet), which meant he could hit someone from in front of Town Hall or in front of the Mayor's house. He pulled apart the gun to make sure that it was clean. Satisfied, he got down off the roof and went to get something to eat.

When Robbie and Amanda reached the airship, they could hear someone arguing. Amanda shrugged her shoulders and called up to them. Both she and Robbie were surprised to see Trixie and Stingy climb down the ladder. The two were still fighting and they completely ignored Amanda and Robbie.

"I wonder what's wrong with them?" Robbie asked.

"I hope nothing too serious." Amanda said. Sportacus and Stephanie climbed down the ladder. Upon seeing the two waiting for them they faked smiles and acted as if it was no big deal.

"What's up?" Stephanie asked.

"Oh Robbie caught up with me and we've been talking. Is everything ok?" Amanda asked.

"It will be. So Amanda are you ready for the road trip?" Sportacus asked.

"Oh yeah. Everything's all set to go. You guys want to do something?" Amanda asked.

"Yeah let's have some fun." Stephanie said. The group decided to walk to the movie theater and see what was playing. After the movie they went out for pizza. It was like a double date except Sportacus and Stephanie didn't know it.

A few hours later the group parted. Amanda walked Robbie home. They two were having a good conversation and before they knew it, they were at Robbie's.

"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow." Amanda said.

"I suppose so. Though the day isn't quite over." Robbie pointed out.

"I'm having dinner with everybody at the Mayor's house. Besides I think people will get suspicious if you're there too." Amanda said.

"You're probably right but that doesn't mean I can't have a kiss anyway." Robbie smirked.

"Uh well I don't know." Amanda teased. Robbie pulled her close and they kissed. Neither one seemed to want to let go. Finally, Amanda pulled away from Robbie.

"I have to go. I promise to see you tomorrow."

"Ok as long as you promise." Robbie said.
