Chapter 28: I'm missing something

Note: If you are wondering what days I update this, well, it's usually the day I updated today, or the day before. That's why polls must go quickly or they won't be accepted.

X, our favorite Blue Bomber, woke up in the morning. He decided to go back today, and he HAD to. Otherwise, he would be in MUCH MUCH MUCH trouble. He got up from the bed and walked out of the room with his stuff, which he remembered he didn't have any. In fact, they were in such a hurry, would they have time to pack?

Then again, he had a nightmare…

-BEGIN NIGHTMARE FLASHBACK-

Alia: X! I KNOW YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM! COME ON OUT!

(X is hiding)

Alia: There you are! Now come out and…

X: Wait, Alia! I didn't mean…

Alia: No buts!

(Alia shoots her Buster at X)

BULLSEYE.

-END NIGHTMARE FLASHBACK-

X went to Zero's and Axl's rooms and woke them up so they would be leaving. Axl seemed to have drooled all over the bed, because he must have been having a good dream, which was creepy, horrible, scary… which is not good at all, is it?

They had no time for breakfast. They HAD to apologize to Alia, in many many ways. One apology wasn't enough. Maybe they should be her slave or something to make it up, or buy a much better car.

"So how are we suppose to get back? She'll kill us if we do." Axl muttered.

"Either we buy her a new car, or be her slave." Zero replied.

Hey, I said that already, you idiot!

Zero: Huh? Who's this guy?

Never mind…

"Okay, we HAVE to find a way! Apology isn't enough!" X complained.

(Light bulb above Zero's head)

"I have a GREAT idea!" Zero blurted.

Zero whispered to both X and Axl, what his plan was.

-BEGIN PLAN DEMONSTRATION-

(X goes to Alia)

X: Alia, I'm SO sorry!

Alia: I hope you three are happy! Because I-

(Zero and Axl comes and knocks Alia unconscious, and ties her up)

(They lock her in her own closet)

-END PLAN DEMONSTRATION-

"I guess that's okay…" X muttered.

"Great. Let's go!" Zero blurted and pulled X and Axl to the HQ.

When X entered the HQ, Alia was the FIRST person to be seen.

X went to Alia.

"Um… Alia, I-" X began.

"The car? It's okay, actually…" Alia interrupted.

X found that surprising.

"Wha…?"

"That car actually kind of got on my nerves because it got screwed up… and I'm not a good driver and crashed anyway." Alia apologized.

'Thank goodness.' X thought.

The trouble was, Zero and Axl weren't listening, but knocked her unconscious anyway.

"You didn't have to do that." X said.

"What?" Axl wondered what X was saying.

"Alia actually forgives us." X replied.

"Oh cripes." Zero mumbled.

"Great! Now who's a moron! You got into this mess!" Axl complained.

"What are ya talking about! You knocked her over!" Zero snapped.

"Did not!" Axl yelled.

"Did too!" Zero shouted.

"Did not!"

"Did too!"

"STOP IT YOU GUYS!" X scolded.

X got that out of the way, and he ran to his bedroom for some rest.

Alia suddenly woke up..

"Ugh…"

Zero and Axl had an anime style expression, and ran away immediately.

X, on the other hand, was really tired. He read another book and sighed to relax a bit.

"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Zero and Axl screamed as they ran to their rooms and locked them in their doors.

"X, um… you got any clue what they did?" She asked.

"Erm, well… they um…. uh…." X muttered.

X sighed. He had to tell the truth.

"See, thinking you might really yell at us and all, we thought of an idea of…"

X finished his sentence.

Silence.

(Anime Style)

Zero and Axl ran away from Alia as she got a huge hammer to squash them, but Zero and Axl already shrank from a bonk.

"You'll pay for this!" Zero yelled at X as he ran away.

"GET BACK HERE!" Alia screamed.

"What's that all about?" Pallette wondered.

Layer shrugged.

Zero and Axl jumped out of the HQ and ran faster.

"Damn it X! Look what he has pulled us into!" Axl moaned.

"Yeah. We have to find a place to hide." Zero added.

(Put a light bulb above Zero's head)

Zero thought of an idea.

He went to Colonel's house. Axl followed his companion, of course.

"So we HAVE to stay here!" Zero said.

"Why do you have to stay here? All you said was so we have to stay here!" Colonel replied.

"Oh, that, um…"

"So we HAVE to stay here!" Axl repeated.

"Be quiet, Axl! Wel, yes, because we are in SO damn trouble, and if we come back, we'll be killed." Zero explained.

It didn't seem convincing, but Iris seemed desperate, so just for his sister, he allowed them to stay.

"Fine, you can stay here, under my rules, that is!" Colonel ordered.

"Sure, whatever you feel like." Zero blurted.

"NO making love with my sister on the bed at night, and… aw screw it, that's all." Colonel explained.

Colonel allowed Zero and Axl to come in.

"But for the time being, what room will we be staying in?" Axl wondered.

"In here." Colonel answered.

Zero's guest room was right next to Iris' room. It had a sofa bed, a bookcase full of books Colonel read, and a desk just for studying… things.

Axl's room was near the kitchen, which had a bed and a bookcase as well, but it was crummy and cold. It was just for his tastes, though.

Meanwhile, at the Hunter HQ…

"Where could those two have been?" Alia wondered.

"I don't know… this might be the same mess like they did when we went too hard on them like last time…" X reminded.

"Yeah, and one will come back, perhaps?" Alia asked.

"I don't know…" X replied.

In the garage, Zero and Axl had to clean Colonel's car after they colunteered, but it only made the garage much of a worse after they had been water fighting and soaking themselves all day.

Back at the Hunter HQ…

Alia drank some tea. She was also quite exhausted, and still upset about losing her car. X decided to cheer her up. But not just by talking to her…

X decided to find Zero and Axl himself, so he got his Ride Chaser and sped through the snowy street. He HAD to find them. But he had no such luck. Zero and Axl just stayed at Iris' home and enjoyed their time all warm and cozy.

Back at Zero and Axl's location (my god, I switch places a lot in this chapter)

Axl was in the dining room eating some chocolate chip cookies Iris made herself, and liked them quite a lot. She took that as a compliment, while Zero was drinking coffee, but only one cup because he didn't want to go mental as the cousin of Colonel. We all know who he is.

"Oh, Iris" Zero called.

Iris turned to her love person.

"Wanna go out and… you know… hang out?" Zero asked.

"Why sure, why not?" Iris happily replied and went out with Zero.

Axl didn't pay a single attention. He ate more cookies. in fact, there seemed to be hundreds of them. Well, imagine if YOU saw hundred cookies.

Colonel just came in.

"Um… do you know where Zero and my sister is?" Colonel asked Axl, but he didn't know what his name was exactly (he forgot from the argument).

Axl shook his head and replied, "No clue."

"For god sake, how many of those cookies did you eat? Save some for others." Colonel said.

"Oh, I will." Axl answered.

Okay, from what I have been narrating so far, maybe, chances of X finding Zero (and Iris) will increase!

To be continued…

Note: I'll give you folks a few more chapters, because I have to sometime end this story soon. That is cold for my fans, but I do have some busy stuff to do in my life. Who knows which chapter will be the last, but I can't go on forever! But this isn't the end, everybody! Don't worry, this chapter is NOT the end!
