(Series 5)

Amber was her way to the kitchen to talk with Jay- she wanted to tell him that she loved him when she saw Brady there sitting down giggling wildly.

"Hey there Brady what are laughing…"

Amber then stopped at the sight of Jay and Trudy kissing each other wildly. Amber's mouth fell open- Trudy was kissing her boyfriend.

"I don't believe this," she cried out loud.

Trudy right away broke the kiss and pushed Jay away slightly, "Amber"

Jay then turned to her, "Look Amber…. There's a few things you missed while you were away…"

"Obviously, I thought you loved me Jay," she said looking at him.

"I thought I did…"

"You thought you did but then what Trudy came around and gave you a better offer?" she asked hurt.

Trudy's mouth hung open, "Hey that was uncalled for"

"I don't care- get lost- both of you. I can't stand you right now Jay nor you Trudy," Amber said nearing tears.

"Fine, I am going," Jay said storming off.

"So am I- come on Brady," Trudy said grabbing Brady and racing off after Jay.
(The Techno Base hours later)

Mega was sitting at his computer waiting Amber to arrive- he had demanded her presence to talk about the city. The techno was mildly amused- now would be a good time to push a buttons as he had heard what happened at the Mall thanks to his bugs.

Right about now there was anarchy in the Mall- and Mega meant to use it to his advantage- Amber's feelings being step one. He turned back to is work until he heard a knock and then Amber standing there.

"Your late," Mega said evenly.

"I was busy," Amber said shortly.

"With your boyfriend?" challenged Mega.

Amber looked at him, "I don't have one"

"Sure you do, Jay or was I imaging things?" Mega inquired.

"I don't know what you're talking about- I hate Jay," Amber stated.

Mega wanted laugh as he looked at her- her attempts at denial were not only pathetic but painfully obvious. No, she didn't hate Jay- not yet anyway but he'd soon change that.

"If you say so," he said looking at her, "Sit down- we have something to go over- this is not a social visit," he proclaimed.

"Of course not," Amber said rolling her eyes sitting down, "What do you need from me this time?" she said sitting down.

"I've created a small little project and it needs someone to hype it- you," he said.
Amber quirked an eyebrow and looked at him, "Me?"

"Yes, for some reason the city likes and trusts you. Therefore, you are my only option," he said bitterly.

"And what if I don't want to do it? I'm not a techno. This is no longer a democracy- you took this place from us. Why should I do anything you want or need?" Amber challenged.

"If you work with me- civilly then I will return some of the things taken from the city," he said as a barging tool.

Normally Mega would threaten everyone or her life or her babies but he wanted to get her to work with him and this was the best how for Amber anyway.

Amber looked at him for a second, "Fine"

"Good. Now level with me- why are you actually avoiding Jay right now?" Mega inquired.

"What are you…."

"Trudy isn't it?"

"How do you know about that?" Amber said slowly.

"How do I- Amber- Jay's been wild about her since the Gaian camp- all he could do was talk about her during our meetings about Ram," he said.

Amber looked at Mega- he was lying- he had to be lying. He was just messing with her- using her. Making her believe him to make her do something stupid- no Amber was smarter than that.

"Here watch," and without another word Mega flipped on a tape.

(Hours later)

She was crying hysterically- Mega was right- Jay had always wanted Trudy. This was not a fake like Ram had showed Ebony. He had honestly always wanted Trudy. Amber was crushed. She was now weeping at the techno base in front of Mega- which was even more disturbing.

Though he still had showed no emotion whatsoever instead turning his attention to whatever sick device he had most likely been working on.

"You know- I never liked Jay, I was glad when he left here- he was also such a sneaky underhanded guy. Hid behind his morals but was no better than his brother. I hated them both," Mega said finally.

Amber stopped crying briefly, "Oh really? Couldn't people say that about you?" she said.

"Of course. Don't mistake what I'm saying either- I'm just as bad but not in the same way. Sure, I hide my intentions for the city and for wanting Ram gone but I've never used a woman the way Jay has- time and time again," Mega exclaimed as he turned to her.

"Now that is a point," Amber conceded- she still hated Mega but he was right- he never used any female that she saw- though now she had an interesting concept- could she… test him?

She then studied his face for a second- he didn't seem to suspect anything anyway, "You know Mega you're right- you are at least honest about being a cold monster- and you'd never ever back stab anyone the way Jay did- that's got to be your most admirable quality- well probably you're only one…" she said and then without another word she moved in and kissed him, "What did you think about that?"

Mega then gave her a face of disgust, "What the hell was that for?" he demanded.

She then leaned back- so he was telling the truth for once- she had half suspected him to act like he enjoyed it and that suddenly he liked her… for once she was glad to be wrong.

"Just testing the water," she said standing up, "I think I need to go now- thank you Mega for enlightening me"

"Anytime you need it- just make it sure, you never do that again"

"Not a problem here"
