"Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease can we get some hoverburgers?" Chiro put on the best puppy dog face he could muster and all Gibson could do was sigh in defeat.

"Alright, I'll have Sprx and Nova go pick some up for you."

"Noooo, I wanna go out to get them!" He'd found that it was pretty easy to get things if he pouted hard enough. He was actually able to acquire tears at one point, just so he could get out of his room and sit in the main area. "I've been stuck in this place for way too long. I'll be good and do whatever you tell me to? Can we please go out to eat?"

Gibson turned to look at the others who were all smiling, obviously enjoying the torment Chiro was putting him through. "Alright, alright! But you have to do everything I tell you to. You're going to sit at the table. I don't want you walking around too much."

"Yes!" Chiro was so happy he almost fell off the couch. He got up, grabbing his crutch. He'd been looking forward to getting out for some time now. The others had been encouraging him to get better, they were just as tired as he was about being stuck in one place for so long.

It took a minute for Chiro to get adjusted with the crutch. He was only allowed one, since his other arm was in a cast. Gibson had wanted the boy in a wheel chair, but he had won that argument quite easily. He needed to get up and stretch. Being in bed for so long had weakened him quite a bit, so it was only logical that he get a little exercise.

He hobbled after the group to the vehicle room. It was clear that there was no way Gibson would let him drive. He wasn't even sure he wanted to. They stepped up to the side car of the bike, Nova and Gibson helping him get inside. Antauri was driving, Gibson situated behind him, since the side car was already full. Luckily the crutch was collapsible and out of the way.

Chiro smiled as they drove down the road. It felt good to be outside again. It was a nice day, not too warm and the sun was shining. Things were definitely looking up. He wasn't as tired as he was the last couple days and the soreness in his body had decreased a great deal. Now he was going to get some real food! Nothing could make this day any better.

The group pulled up to the fast food restaurant and parked the bike. It wasn't too crowded, a few couples and a family with kids. Chiro stepped out of the side car, balancing himself on his good leg. He took the crutch from Otto and placed it under his arm.

"So what does everybody want?"Sprx looked expectantly at the others.

"One of everything please!" Chiro rang out, only half joking.

"Right, even though its nothing like the healthy meals back at home, you're not getting away with bad eating habits here." Gibson turned to Sprx, "Get him a regular burger with lettuce and tomato, cheese, but no sauces." Chiro huffed and took a seat at the nearest table. "And a chocolate milk shake." The blue monkey grinned as he saw the surprise in the boy's face. "What? It's dairy and good for your bones."

Chiro smiled and turned so he could watch as Sprx got the rest of the orders and headed up to get the food. He leaned the crutch up against the table before resting his arm on the plastic table surface. Nova took a seat next to him, flashing him a smile. He didn't know why, but the yellow monkey had grow extremely attached to him. Not that he minded or anything. It always felt good to be loved and cared for. But he couldn't help but wonder what might have happened that had caused her to be so protective of him. He had a good idea though. He had no memories of the day they had found him, much less the day that followed. He'd been so hopped up on pain medications that he wasn't able to think straight, but he knew something must have gotten to the female monkey to cause such a new personality change.

He quickly had to swallow back the drool as the tray of food was placed at their table. He was handed the burger and milkshake, and was the first to start scarfing down the food. He slowed down though, when he realized he might not be getting any more burgers for a little while, and deciding that it would be a good idea to savor the treat.

The others held back a giggle at the boy's excitement. Gibson understood how horrible the health food was, but it was still good for the boy. He needed to heal, but he figured a burger wouldn't hurt either.

Lunch went by quickly. Chiro was desperately trying to drink the milkshake as slowly as he could. This was certainly better than any fruit cup! Sprx, Otto and Gibson got up, collecting the trash. They had just walked off when Chiro noticed someone step into the restaurant. He'd never known Mr. Gackslapper to need extra help. He couldn't get a good look at the person's face, but he could tell he was looking at a girl. The man handed her a bag and what looked like a receipt, which she took, turning back to the door. She had just stepped out when the owner caught her attention, exclaiming something about the package needing to be delivered in less than ten minutes.

The milkshake hit the ground, the drink spilling out onto the cement. He didn't even think about his actions as he quickly stood up. The girl was already leaving, jogging off in the other direction. His breath quickened as he realized she was going to get away.

Antauri and Nova didn't realize what was happening until he had already taken off.

"Chiro!" Antauri stood and started chasing after the boy. He was surprised Chiro could run so fast with his leg broken. Even with the support of the cast, each step had to be excruciatingly painful.

The pain was nothing compared to the panic he was feeling. He couldn't let her get away. They were running down a sidewalk, a building to their left. He was vaguely aware that she had crossed a street up ahead. No! He couldn't lose her now! "MIHARU! STOP!" Please stop... He took in a sharp breath as he realized she had stopped, and a smile drew itself across his face. She had stopped! He could get to her now! He began to run faster, ignoring the searing pain than ran through his leg.

She was looking at him, confusion and concern portrayed on her face. She looked away for a moment, then back at him, now shouting words he couldn't understand. His mind was numb from the pain and the desire to get to her, to make sure she was really there. The bag in her hand fell to the ground and she was running towards him. He couldn't understand why she looked so scared.

His foot stepped off the sidewalk and into the street. She was only a few feet away now, moving faster towards him. His arms went out, reaching for her. Two more steps and she'd be there, he'd be able to hold her.

All at once, sound came back to him and he could hear Antauri behind him, screaming out his name. He was frightened about something. Chiro felt arms wrap around him, lifting him off the ground. He wrapped his arms around her neck, holding tight, scared that any second she'd disappear.

They hit the ground hard, Chiro laying on top of the girl. Antauri moved up to them, his eyes watching the large truck as it continued down the road, oblivious to the event that had just happened.

"Are you crazy!" The girl spoke, still clinging to Chiro as she sat up. "You coulda been killed!"

The monkey watched as Chiro pushed himself away enough to look at her. He had a pained smile on his face and tears streaming down his cheeks. He looked like he was about to say something, but to both his and the girl's surprise, the boy collapsed in her arms.

The others run up behind them, fear etched in their expressions. They watched as the girl moved Chiro so she could cradle him in her arms. She turned towards them, not sure what to do next.

"What happened?" Gibson asked.

"I'm not entirely sure, but this girl definitely has something to do with it." Antauri stepped forward to talk to the girl. Obviously she wouldn't be able to understand so he motioned for her to follow. She nodded, adjusting the boy in her arms a bit, as she followed the group of monkeys back towards the restaurant.

Miharu wasn't too sure what was going on. She was following the monkey team. Of course she knew who they were, but she'd never actually met them before. She guessed the boy she held was Chiro. He looked awful.

His head lulled onto her shoulder, dark strands of hair falling over his eyes. She couldn't help the smile that crossed her face. She loved kids, and this one seemed to need her at the moment. She suddenly wondered how this boy knew her name. She hoped she'd be able to find out, but at the moment she wanted to get him some help.

Miharu followed the monkeys over to a motorcycle, and they motioned for her to place the boy in the side car. She complied, gently lowering Chiro into the seat and strapping him in. His head fell to the side, and she absentmindedly brushed a few strands of hair off his brow.

She stood and turned back to the group of colorful primates and was approached by the green one. He reached into a compartment and pulled out a small, circular object. She knelt down as he handed to her, pointing to a small button on the surface. It was a communicator! This was very strange, but it seemed important to them so she took it and placed it in the pocket of her jeans.

"Is he going to be okay?" She'd been wanting to ask that for a while now. The blue monkey nodded as he jumped up on the back of the bike. The others were climbing in as well. She watched as they started the vehicle and sped off in the direction of the Super robot.

"Miharu?" Her boss was leaning over the counter looking at her. "What happened to that delivery?"

"Ah! Sorry! I dropped it." She quickly ran back to the package of now cold hoverburgers and picked them up. "Great... he's gonna love this." With a sigh, she turned and walked back to the restaurant. At least the boy would be okay, and that's all that really mattered.

Tbc...
