Thanks for the reviews! Second Chapter is up!
A talk and a promise
Gibson faced Antauri fully, then said "But you stay up so late, so why shouldn't I?"
Antauri shook his head. "You're vital to the team Gibson, we don't need you tired." Gibson was a little let down. He had hoped Antauri might not be so serious at such a late hour. "I suppose", he said stiffly, and turned back to his experiments. Antauri sensed this wasn't what was bothering the blue monkey. "There's something else, isn't there?" Gibson did not reply. "Is it… Nova maybe?" Gibson stopped what he was doing. "No, Nova isn't my type, besides, you know as well as I do that she and Sprx having something going. I'm not sure what yet". He couldn't believe Antauri would even suggest such a thing. He almost wanted to whack the black monkey. Couldn't he even tell? Didn't he have a clue what sort of battle was going on in Gibson's mind? How he so wanted to tell him the truth, but couldn't find the words? He slammed down his beaker, and left the lab. Before he went to his room he said, "It isn't Nova, Antauri, it's you!" He slammed his door, ending this conversation.
Antauri stood stunned for only a moment, and then he seemed to come to his senses. He knocked on the door Gibson had slammed. "Gibson, come into the command center. We need to talk".
A cliffy! (But sorry the chapter was so short, it's midterm week)
