Chp. 3 Nova's Trial

Later that night at exactly five minutes before midnight...

"Ok Nova, it's time for me to get my revenge...I mean it's time for your trial!" Sparx said as he sat down in the middle of the floor.

Nova sat down across from him, "Yeah, and what is that?" she asked. "And why so late at night?"

"In exactly five minutes it starts!" Sparx told her.

"What starts?" Nova asked.

"Once the clock strike 12 midnight, you and I had to stay awake for 24 hours , just in case you don't know that's 12 A.M. to 12 A.M. tomorrow morning!" Sparx said.

"Don't you mean the day after tomorrow because it's going to be tomorrow in three minutes," Nova said.

"Yes! Whatever! So you think you can handle it?" Sparx asked with a smirk.

"Spar that is the stupidest thing I've ever heard of!" Nova said.

"Unh-uh Nova! Remember your rules? If you forfeit you lose!" Sparx said.

"Yeah but...unh...fine...but it's just gonna be even more humiliating when you lose," Nova told him.

"Yeah, keep believing that..!" Sparx said. "Ok, it's midnight! Hope your able to stay awake tonight and all day tomorrow!" Sparx said.

"This is going to be easy!" Nova spat.

"Ok, whatever you say," Sparx said as she shrugged. "Oh and did I mention you can't leave this spot?"

"What! That's even more stupid!" Nova said.

"Oh well..." Sparx said with a smirk.

Nova sighed and crossed her arms and glared at him.

That morning around eight...

Chiro who had just woken a couple of minutes ago was headed towards the kitchen when he passed Nova and Sparx sitting on the floor glaring at each other. Sparx looked completely the same as he did last night but Nova looked as if she hadn't slept in days.

"You guys are up early..." Chiro said. "You havin' a staring contest or something?" he asked.

"No!" Nova growled.

"Gees Nova, why do you sound so testy?" Chiro asked.

"I don't sound testy!" she hissed.

Sparx laughed, "It's cuz she's hasn't slept since yesterday!" he said.

"Huh?" Chiro asked confused.

"Don't ask!" Nova said.

"Um...ok...I'm gonna go eat breakfast, you guys coming?" Chiro asked.

"No! We can't! Right Sparx!" Nova said with a smirk as Sparx stomach growled.

"That's right, we can't, mind bringing me something?" Sparx asked.

"Huh?" Nova asked.

"Sure," Chiro said as he walked off.

"Wait! Chiro!" Nova called, but Chiro had already left. "Darn you," she growled.

"Hey, what can I say? So far me winning is looking pretty good!" Sparx said .

Nova hissed at him and narrowed her eyes.

"Well good morning," Gibson said as he entered the room followed by Antauri.

"Good morning Gibson, Antauri isn't it a great day?" Sparx asked.

"Yes, I suppose it is," Antauri said.

"I'd kill you right here and now if I could Sparx, if I could..." Nova said.

"What? You two still haven't resolved your little spat from yesterday?" Gibson said.

"What do ya think we're doing?" Sparx asked.

"Sitting," Antauri said.

"No! Me and Nova are seeing which one of us can stay awake until 12 o'clock tonight and may I say Nova here didn't sleep at all yesterday, but I cunningly took a seven hour nap," Sparx said.

"What!" Nova gasped.

"Yup, right after you made me sing all those stupid songs I went and took a nap, woke up at eleven fifty five and brought you here, aren't I a genius?" Sparx asked.

"More like a cheater!" Nova said.

"Um...Sparx you know it's Nova and I," Gibson said.

"What?" Sparx asked.

"Well exactly...six sentences ago you said Me and Nova, when grammatically correct it's Nova and I," Gibson said.

"This is true," Antauri said.

"You guys make it sound like you don't care! Were even listening?" Nova asked.

"Of course," Gibson said.

"We'd rather not get involved," Antauri said as he and Gibson walked off.

Later that evening around four...

"Tired yet Nova?" Sparx asked.

"Of course I'm tired! But that doesn't mean I'm going to go to sleep!" Nova growled.

"Ok, sorry," Sparx said with a yawn.

"Aha! Your tired too!" Nova yelled.

"No way! That was a bored yawn! It's way different from a tired yawn," Sparx told her. "But look at the bright side Nova, only eight more hours, you can handle that can't you?" he asked.

"Of course I can! Can you!" she asked.

"You bet!" Sparx said with a big smile. Nova frowned and glared at him.

A few minutes later...

"Hey Nova! I know why don't we listen to some music!" Sparx said.

"How are we going to do that? We can't move from this spot! Unless you forfeit?" Nova asked.

Sparx pulled a purple boom box out of think air and placed it in front of him.

"What the...How'd you..." Nova stammered.

"Let's listen to my favorite song!" Sparx said as pressed play. A lullaby started to play and Nova's eyes narrowed.

"What is that?" she asked.

"Why I believe it's a lullaby...Awww...doesn't it make you wanna just drift off slowly into sleep time land?" Sparx asked.

"Y-Yeah it kinda does," Nova said as she began to nod off. "WAIT! NO!" she yelled waking herself up. "I'm not losing to a...a..." Nova succumbed to the music and began to close her eyes she fell forward and hit the boom box changing the CD track. All of a sudden death metal blared from the boom box causing Nova to sit up alert. "CHEATER!" she finished.

"Darn it so close!" Sparx said.

"What!" Nova yelled over the screaming of the death metal rock music.

"I said 'Darn it so close!" he yelled.

"Oh...what?" Nova asked.

"I said...oh forget it!' Sparx said as he threw the boom box over his shoulder. The boom box flew across the room and towards Otto who was entering the room with Tara.

"Ah!" he yelled as he saw it flying towards him still playing the death metal. It hit Otto squarely in the head with a clunk. Otto fell back and Tara flew out of her glass cage and landed in front of Sparx and Nova.

"Ah!" the two robot monkeys yelled.

"What is going on in here?" Gibson asked as he picked up the boom box and turned it off.

"I-I don't feel so good...ow..." Otto said as she sat up and rubbed his head.

"It was Nova!" Sparx said as he pointed to her.

"Unh-uh! No way! That was all you! You tried to put me to sleep with a lullaby cheater," Nova said as she pointed to him.

Gibson sighed, "I thought you were trying to resolve your fighting not increase it," Gibson said as he walked over to them.

"We are resolving it," Sparx said.

"T-yeah right," Nova said.

"Uh-oh...Tara's gone...again!" Otto said.

"What?" Gibson asked.

"You mean this?" Nova asked as she pointed to Tara. Gibson looked down at the spider just as it jumped onto his face.

"Ah! Get it off of me!" he yelled as he stumbled backwards.

"Tara!" yelled Otto as he leapt up and ran over to Gibson who was failing his arms wildly.

Gibson switched his left hand to his drill and was about to send it spinning into Tara but just in the knick of time Otto grabbed her way and Gibson ended up falling backwards and hitting his head.

"Oh Tara! He didn't hurt you did he?" Otto asked as he hugged Tara. Tara let out a tiny little spider hiss in response.

Nova and Sparx shivered at the thought of the spider answering his question.

"Gibson you need to...G-Gibson?" Otto asked as he looked down at the unconscious blue monkey who had swirly eyes.

"Guess we decided to take a nap, oh well come on Tara let's go to the park ! We can go on the slides and even swing on the swings!" Otto told her as he skipped off with Tara in his grasp.

"Wow..." Nova said with a exasperated sigh.

Eleven fifty five that night...

"HAHAHAH! Only five minutes to twelve!" Nova laughed manically.

"Yeah so!" Sparx said with a pout.

"That means I win! And you lose!" Nova said.

"No way! That's not what you said! According to you it's a tie!" Sparx said.'

"Yeah?" Nova asked.

"Yeah!" Sparx said.

Nova crossed her arms and frowned. "If only I could make him fall asleep...hmmm..." she thought. All of a sudden and idea popped into her head. "Oh Sparx!" she said as she pulled a shiny metal pocket watch out of thin air.

"What?" Sparx asked.

"Look at the shiny watch!" Nova said in a hypnotic voice as she swung it back and forth.

"Oh that's sad trying to hypnotize me! It's never going to..." Sparx paused as he watched the watch swing back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. In seconds he was under Nova's control.

"Sparx! When I count to five and snap my finger you will instantly fall asleep! Ok?" Nova asked.

"Ok," Sparx said dryly.

"1-2-3-4-5..." Nova paused and snapped her fingers. Both she and Sparx fell back asleep at the same exact time. The clock struck twelve and a new day had begun.

to be continued...

YAY! So that was chapter three, yeah it was long but it had to be because they had to stay awak for twenty four hours and that's like a lot of hours! I know I had to do it once...it was at a slumber party two years ago, my friend was turing thirteen and it was a 'big deal' for her. So anyways, it was a two day slumber party so we all took a bet to see who could stay awake from twelve to tweleve. Of course all the girls were asleep by two, it was just me and some other girl( I forget her name but she was a jerk anyways so who cares) stayed up till six thirty, we decided to go to sleep and make it a tie. Yeah it was a stupid thing to do considering I only relly only stayed up for like six hours...so yeah...oh yeah and I don't think tarantulas can jump but they can in my story!
