Sticking Together - Literally

by Mandy's Wiccan Assistant

MWA: Okay, I'm back! I'm sorry about the wait, but I was being held hostage by a blurple dragon named Bob in a nearby cave and he was holding me so he could get a gold ransom worth $12,000,000 and when he got it I had to walk back over two mountains, facing bears, cougars, and Zipawoweemomeemwahs...

You aren't buying a word of this, are you? Okay, what really happened was I was in a play, and we had rehearsals EVERY NIGHT FOR TWO WEEKS! Then we did the play for 4 days. And THEN I was at Governor's School as an intern for two more weeks. My juices were just drained. Oh well, I got my first paycheck! Woo-hoo!

Anyway, kutos to the patient ML fans. Here's Chapter 3!

Sticking Together - Literally

Summary: What would happen if Rikochet and Buena Girl got stuck together? Let's find out!

Rating: PG

Disclaimer: I don't own ML or it's characters. They belong to the wonderful minds of Eddie Mort and Lili Chin much. However, if you hang around on Deviantart, you'll reconize my character. I also don't own the song "Take a Chance on Me," by ABBA.

Chapter 3: Tag Team Tuesday

(The next morning)

Rikochet slowly stirred as the sun's rays came into his room. He glanced to his side and saw Buena Girl as she was waking up. "Hi, Buena Girl," he murmured. "Hi, Rikochet," she replied. Their eyes shot open. "WHAT THE-" they started. Then they remembered what had happened the day before. "Uh, good morning, Buena Girl," Rikochet said quickly, feeling himself blush. Buena Girl's cheeks were flamming too. "Good morning, Rikochet," she said nervously. "Uh, to breakfast?" he said quickly. She nodded and they headed into the kitchen.

The two quietly ate their breakfast that morning, then got ready for school and set off. When they arrived, the Flea was waiting for them outside. "Rikochet, Buena Girl! You are not going to BELIEVE what has happened to the Flea!" he screamed, grabbing onto Rikochet's mask. Rikochet and Buena Girl shook their heads. "I'm pretty sure we could believe it," Buena Girl muttered. "The Headmistress..." the Flea began. "I AM GOING TO WRESTLE HER AT THE FAIR ON SATURDAY!" he screamed. At that, Buena Girl and Rikochet walked off. "You deserve it, Flea," Rikochet called back before entering the school.

That's when another problem came about.

The two walked to their first class with Midcarda. The Flea came in shortly. After a few moments, Midcarda announced, "Class, today, as you all should know, is Tag Team Tuesday." (Buena Girl and Rikochet looked in horror at each other.) "You must all wrestle, no exceptions. Also, just to remind you, your match today will count as 85 of your yearly grade...so there's absolutely no pressure!" Midcarda then said. "What I will do is choose two wrestlers, and they will each choose a partner. Once someone has wrestled, they won't do it again. To start with..." he looked around the room. Both Rikochet and Buena Girl had their free fingers crossed. "...The Flea and...Minotoro."

Rikochet and Buena Girl sighed in relief as the chosen two went to the wrestling ring. Midcarda then shouted, "Choose your partners!" Both Minotoro and Flea looked around the crowd. Minotoro's eye landed on Cindy Slam. "I pick Cindy Slam, Mr. Midcarda," Minotoro said. "GRRR!" Cindy replied before climbing into the ring. Slightly panicking, Flea looked wildly around the room. Zero Kelvin...Megawatt...Dustania...

Dustania!

"Dustania! Dustania will be my partner!" The Flea cried. The dusty girl stared at him in surprise, but got in the ring without protest. "Then...LUCHARAAAAAN!" Midcarda yelled.

As the two pairs began their match, Buena Girl subconciously rested her head on Rikochet's shoulder. Rikochet in turn gently squeezed her hand. Then they both realized what they were doing and jumped apart - as much as they could. They both blushed a deep scarlet. "I, uh...sorry!" they both said. Then they both had to duck as Cindy Slam was thrown right over their heads. They turned back to the ring, where Dustania and the Flea were standing triumphantly over a pinned Minotoro. "The winners...Dustania and Flea!" Midcarda hollered. Dustania and the Flea grinned at each other and threw their arms around each other happily. Everyone, including Rikochet and Buena Girl, gasped, but neither wrestler seemed to care. They exited the ring hand-in-hand.

Midcarda shook himself and looked over the crowd of students. His eyes landed on Electricity. "Our next wrestlers will be...Electricity..." he searched the crowd for someone. That's when he zeroed in on Rikochet. "And Rikochet!" he said. Rikochet and Buena Girl groaned. "Looks like you're my partner, Buena Girl," he said. She nodded, and they went up along with Electricity. Midcarda stared at Rikochet and Buena Girl, then his eyes went to their hands. "I take it you'll be partners?" he said. The two resisted rolling their eyes and nodded. Midcarda nodded and turned to Electricity. "You're partner?" he asked. Electricity swung her head to face the students. "Megawatt!" she called. " Me?" he cried. "Yes you! Come on, Megawatt!" she said, her eyes slightly pleading with him. "Alright then!" he hollered. He jumped into the ring to stand beside her.

"LUCHARAAAAAN!"

Megawatt started to power up his bulb. Electricity lept fiercely at her two opponents, who tried to go seperate directions but were thrown back together because of their hands. Electricity ended up focusing all her weight on them both, throwing them quite a distance. They both groaned from headaches.

Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie.
If you put me to the test, If you let me try.
Take a chance on me, take a chance on me.
We can go dancing, we can go walking.
As long as we're together.
Listen to some music, maybe just talking.
You'd get to know me better.

Rikochet and Buena Girl felt dazed from the blow. Then Buena Girl saw Megawatt and his bulb. "Uh, Rikochet?" she said, pointing to Megawatt. Then Electricity came at them again. He frowned, then said, "Follow my lead, Buena Girl."

'Cause you know I've got so much that I wanna do.
When I dream I'm alone with you, it's magic.
You want me to leave it there, afraid of a love affair.
But I think you know, that I can't let go.

As Electricity came toward them, Rikochet and Buena Girl leaped out of the way together, sending Electricity into a rebound. But now they were truely working as a team. Even Megawatt, who was now fully charged and powerful, couldn't get them now.

If you change your mind, I'm the first in line.
Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me.
If you need me, let me know, gonna be around.
If you got no place to go, when you're feeling down.
If you're all alone, when the pretty birds have flown.
Honey I'm still free, take a chance on me.
Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie.
If you put me to the test, If you let me try.
Take a chance on me, take a chance on me.

Electricity and Megawatt looked at each other carefully. Then Electricity and Megawatt BOTH sent powerful electric currents toward their opponents. But Rikochet and Buena Girl dodged together, their confidence boosted.

Oh, you can take your time, baby, I'm in no hurry.
I know I'm gonna get you.
You don't wanna hurt me, baby don't worry.
I ain't gonna let you.
Let me tell you now, my love is strong enough.
To last when things are rough, it's magic.
You say that I waste my time, But I can't get you off my mind.
No I can't let go, 'cause I love you so.

Rikochet looked at Buena Girl. "Shall we end this?" he asked. She nodded determinedly. They turned back toward Megawatt and Electricity.

Together, they shouted, "THE BUENA-CHET FALLING STAR!" and they formed a large, red-and-green star. Electricity and Megawatt gasped at the star approached.

iSTARRY-EYED!

Rikochet and Buena Girl now stood proudly on top of Megawatt and Electricity. Everyone looked startled - even Midcarda looked stunned. "The winners...although I can't believe it...Buena Girl and Rikochet!" he declared. Everyone else just stared. Buena Girl and Rikochet then nervously walked...and then ran back to their seats. "Okay, that was interesting..." Rikochet said. Buena Girl nodded weakly. "But hey, we still won, right?" Rikochet said. "Yeah, we did win!" Buena Girl said, a note a pride finding her way into her voice. Rikochet's free arm then reached over and took her free hand. They smiled warmly at each other, then rested against each other as Zero Kelvin and La Pinata began to face off with El Gundamo and Penny Plutonium.

Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me.
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see.
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me.
Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me.
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see.
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me.
Honey, I'm still free, take a chance on me.
Gonna do my very best, baby can't you see.
Gotta put me to the test, take a chance on me.

MWA: Yes! Chapter three is done at last! Sorry again for the long wait.

Comments to my reviewers:

Rikochet loves Buena Girl - Thanks a million! I hope you enjoy the rest too.

StarTitan92 - Your fics are great too! Thanks for the review!

Now then, two more things. One, I've decided to put one ABBA song in each chapter to come. Feel free to suggest ones you'd like in the story.
Two, I would really like some more reviews. The more people review and make suggestions, the better my fics get.

Thanks everyone!
