(Season 4)

They could no longer take this abuse from the Techno's. They had gone too far. Taking friends, taking food, taking over, and the experiments.

What they did to people like Amber. Sure her and Pride had a pain filled break-up, but they were still friends.

Pride was now in the café talking to Cloe and Trudy about the entire thing. Trudy was still upset about Amber and having to leave but for the time had a smile on her face talking about the memories of the past.

"I really did love Bray," Trudy said after a minute.

"I'm sorry he's gone," Cloe said.

"I know, we all are," Trudy answered.

"So have you heard the rumours about the Techno's newest thing to win over the city?" Cloe asked Trudy.

"No… what are they…" she asked slowly.

"Apparently, they were giving away chocolate as food," Pride said angrily.

He was the person who hated the Techno's being around the most and couldn't do a thing about it.

"Well, they just have everything don't they? There hundred times worse than the Chosen ever were," Trudy said nervously.

The more talked ever since Amber and her came back, the more they realised that the Techno's were a true threat.

"Yea, they have computers, food, running water to give us, they have nothing to stop them," Cloe added nervously.

"That's not true, we'll think of something," Trudy said.

"And if we don't?" Cloe asked her.

"We will, there's groups already in existence to stop them," Pride replied without adding anymore to it.

Trudy heard Amber waking and took off. Leaving Cloe and Pride alone.

"Oh… that's Amber I think. I better go, see ya," Trudy said quickly walking off.

The room went quiet for a moment… then Cloe decided to change that.

"Pride, what have you been up to?" she asked suddenly.

"What do you meant?" he asked.

"I know you are or else you wouldn't have said that. What are guys doing? I don't want to lose you," Cloe said worriedly.

Despite, Ved entering the picture. Cloe had yet to give up on Pride.

"Just something. They don't know about it yet Cloe. And chances are by the time we strike someone will have already. We'll be fine," he answered automatically.

Cloe looked at him, "You won't tell me?"

"I wouldn't even tell Salene," Pride answered.

Cloe sighed- there had to be someway to be involved somehow…

"I know what you're thinking- and you can't," Pride told her.

"Why not?"

"Because Cloe, it's dangerous and you still a kid," Pride told her.

"I am not!"

"Yes, you are. Salene would be upset with me for doing it anyway. And it's my job to be the adult in this situation," he replied.

Cloe gave him a look, he was supposed to be one person who didn't treat her like a kid but god was he doing a great job of doing the opposite.

She stood up, "Fine. I'm going out," she said taking off without so much a word.

"Cloe… Cloe… CLOE!" he said but it was too late, he knew, he messed up again.

First it was saying he didn't love her in the wrong way, and now it was forgetting that she older than she looked. Pride was just doing a great job at making this friendship worse.
