If Only You Knew

Chapter Ten: Robbie's Revenge Part Two

Pim was instantly on her feet, mouth dropping open as she watched Robbie swiftly bring a hand up to her brother's head and knock him over with ease. Keely cried out and tried to get away, but Robbie was immediately at her side, whispering something in her ear before grabbing her wrist and shimmering out in a vortex of swirling light. There was an uproar in the audience as everyone began to rise to see what had happened, and Pim put a hand to her head in frustration.

"What the heck is that idiot doing?" she muttered, shoving her way through the crowd of confused people to get to where Phil lay unconscious. "I told him to not touch the girl, and what does he do? Freakin' kidnaps her! Talk about following the plan! Stupid robot..."

Finally reaching the spot where Phil had fallen, Pim growled and shot everyone around her a deathly stare, daring them to come nearer. Slowly the crowd dissipated in fear of this young, blonde, crazy girl, and Pim glanced down at her brother's limp body, arms folded across her chest. 'Great. Now what am I supposed to do?'

She felt a pang of sympathy find its way into her heart, and she raised her eyebrows in amusement and utter surprise. 'Wow. I actually feel a little sorry for him.' She cocked her head as she stared down at Phil, contemplating on what to do next. 'Maybe I should help him get his "girlfriend" back from that freak.'

There was a pause, and suddenly Pim let out a screech of mad laughter, doubling over and clutching her sides. The few remaining people witnessing the scene shrunk away, wondering if this maniac girl had gone completely nuts, and quickly left the theater before she could somehow sprout extra teeth and chase them away herself.

As her laughter died away, Pim wiped her eyes and shook her head, grinning. 'Whoo. Yeah right! That was funny.' Her face instantly turned serious and she whipped out her Wizrd, tinkering with the buttons and dials. 'Back to business then. I might as well wake him up, at least.' She finally set it to the correct set-up and aimed the Wizrd at Phil, and at once a beam of bright light shot out and engulfed his entire being.

As Phil groaned and began to stir, Pim sighed and placed a hand on her hip. "I am such a good sister," she announced dramatically, twirling the Wizrd in her free hand while she grinned at her older brother. Before he had the chance to wake up and realize just where he was, though, Pim hastily lifted her hands to her head and took off the goggles, fading out with a casual, "I'm out, then. Later, Phil!"

She had done her part. In fact, she probably did more than she would have ever done for Phil, if it wasn't for the fact that most of this was her fault to begin with. But then again, she had told Robbie not to touch the girl, right?

Either way, it didn't matter anymore. Pim hopped off her bed and tossed her Virtu-Goggles aside, getting ready to go downstairs and watch some boring present day t.v. show. It had been fun while it lasted, at least.

But from now on, Phil was on his own.

----------------------------------------------------

Phil groaned loudly as he heaved himself back on his seat, a hand held to his head gingerly. Still somewhat dazed, it took him only a moment to realize exactly where he was and what had happened, and as soon as it hit him he shot up to his feet instantly. "Keel? Keel!" As his eyes frantically searched for his best friend, a cold chill seeped into the depths of his body; a horrible, sick feeling that settled right in his stomach when he realized just whose laugh he had heard right before he fell unconscious.

"KEELY!" he yelled, sprinting out of the theater, oblivious to anything and everything around him. He had to get to her before anything happened, before he could do anything to her. Filled with a mixture of rage and dread that he had never felt before, Phil skidded to a halt outside of the theater doors and took in his vast surroundings, eyes darting rapidly left and right as he searched for the one person in the mall that mattered most.

The question now was...where was she?

-------------------------------------------------------

Keely folded her arms across her chest defiantly as she sat against a pillar, legs pulled close to her body. Electrifying blue shackles sizzled loosely at her wrists; completely harmless, yet seemingly unbreakable; chained together, yet long enough for her to drop her arms to her sides comfortably. She lifted her head and stared at him with a look of pure resentment and disgust, wondering what she had ever seen in him before.

No…before he was just a cute robot waiter working at a virtual restaurant, a simple flirt who she had used to make her best friend jealous. Now he stood before her, mocking her for his own pleasurable entertainment, as the one boy who could save her from this hell lay unconscious in a theater thanks to him. It didn't matter what he had been before. Now he was just completely insane, though evil would be a better way to explain it. And what mattered now was that she had to escape from him and get back to Phil…and get back home.

----------------------------------------------------------

Rushing into the newly materialized Paradise Cove, Phil made his way to the bar and slammed his hands on the counter just as Lloyd turned around with a rag and cup in his hand.

"Hey, son, what're you up to? Where's Keely?" Lloyd greeted cheerfully, glancing around for any sign of a certain blonde-haired beauty.

Panting, Phil paused for a moment to catch his breath before demanding, "Dad! What's Robbie's analytical data code? I need it now!" he added harshly when Lloyd began to ask why. "Look, he took Keely, okay? I need to track him and get her back before anything happens!"

Still somewhat confused, Lloyd furrowed his brow in thought and pulled out his Wizrd, punching in a few buttons. "Here it is…I'll send the code to your Wizrd, Phil, and it should activate the tracking device in no time." Phil nodded and started to make his quick exit, but Lloyd grabbed his arm to hold him back. "Wait! You need to know something!"

Phil gave an exasperated sigh, pulling his arm away and waiting impatiently for his father to continue. "Dad! Kinda in a hurry right now!"

"Look, son, after your first Virtu-Trip with Keely, Robbie got an upgrade almost immediately after his manufacturer rebooted him," Lloyd explained hurriedly. "You won't be able to turn him off the same way anymore. In fact, there IS no way to turn him off now. You'll have to find a way to disable him, but I don't know how. You're on your own with that."

Phil nodded in understanding, eyes narrowing with worry as he tried to think up an alternate plan. With a quick wave he rushed off, but halted right before the exit and turned to look at his father in suspicion.

"Uh…Dad? Have you even finished fixing the Insta-Weather yet?"

Lloyd gave him a blank stare for a few seconds, then snapped his fingers as his face lit up in realization. "Oh yeah! That's what I had to work on!" With that he casually took off his Virtu-Goggles and faded out, chuckling at his lack of common sense.

Phil rolled his eyes and turned to leave, pulling out his Wizrd as a holographic map of the mall materialized. "Got it." He whispered, sprinting out of the restaurant and into the massive vicinity of the mall.

'Wow…' he thought sarcastically as he passed the theater once more, laughing bitterly at the irony of it all.

'Some trip this turned out to be.'

-------------------------------------------------------

Robbie laughed arrogantly as he eyed Keely from a short distance away, twirling an unknown controller in his fingertips. "C'mon, cute stuff, why don't you just chill? You're with Robbie now! That doofus of yours is a loser, anyway!"

Keely shot him a look of pure loathing and glanced around for an exit, anywhere she could go to get her out of this place…wherever she was. Robbie scoffed lightly and strolled closer towards her, crouching down and leaning in close as he gently tilted her chin up to his face. "I'll tell you what, beach bunny. You give me a little smooch right here on the lips, and maybe I'll take off those shackles for ya, huh? What d'you say?"

Keely jerked her head out of his grasp, laughing bitterly. "I'd rather kiss Owen while he's stuffing his face with fast food." She muttered, disgusted. Robbie's eyes narrowed and he stood up abruptly, folding his arms across his chest. Then, as if it didn't really matter, he laughed lightly. "Looks like girlie has to relax a bit…you don't want me forcing myself on you, now, do ya?"

"Seems to me like she doesn't want to spend time with you."

Robbie spun around and Keely gasped, eyes sparkling as she turned her head at the all-too familiar voice.

"Phil!"

He grinned, pocketing his Wizrd and folding his arms across his chest. "I mean, seriously…" he continued scornfully, eyes gleaming as he stared across the room at Robbie. "Who'd want to spend time with a robot with some pathetic surfer accent?"

Robbie laughed, raising his eyebrows at Phil. "Dude…took you long enough!" He grinned maliciously, holding up the controller that he had been playing with. "Let's hang ten now, bro!"

As he pressed a button on the small device, a distinct rumble shook the entire room, causing Phil to lose his balance. He fell against the pillar opposite of Keely and clung onto it tightly as the quakes worsened with each passing second. Finally, the wall across from the three exploded as a humongous robot emerged in the shape of---

"A dog?" Keely asked with a mixture of disbelief and amusement, staring at Robbie like he was a complete idiot. "You have GOT to be kidding me."

Robbie flashed his perfect smile and once again held up the controller for her to see, pressing another button. The dog suddenly crouched and growled menacingly, turning towards Phil. As if he had become a literal target, the dog charged head first in Phil's direction at full speed, smashing into the pillar and crumbling it to pieces just as Phil hurled himself out of the way.

"HEY!" Phil shrieked at Keely as his head popped out of the rubble, "Don't encourage him!"

Keely smiled sheepishly with a quick "Oh. Sorry." Her eyes widened, and she gasped. "Phil! Watch it! It's coming back!"

Sure enough, the robotic dog had gotten back up, shook itself off for some strange reason, and growled again, targeting Phil. He jumped up and dived out of the way once more, barely evading the dog's full-force attack. "You know, Keel, I could use some help!" he shouted, brushing himself off and sprinting to another side of the room.

Robbie cackled evilly, watching the scene before him unfold as he turned back towards Keely. "Cute stuff over there? Yeah right, Doofus! Like she could do anything to help you!" He tossed the controller up into the air and spun it, catching it as it dropped back down and pressing another button.

The dog reared up and let out a shrill howl, then suddenly bashed its head into the ground, sending out a shockwave that knocked Phil into the air. He collided with the wall as if the shockwave had literally pushed him into it, and he slumped to the ground groaning, barely conscious.

Keely's eyes narrowed dangerously and she was instantly on her feet, hands balled into fists at her sides. The shackles crackled intensely at her wrists, as if it were a part of her anger itself, and she stormed up behind Robbie as he laughed obnoxiously at Phil's suffering. Picking up a large piece of hard rock that had once been a part of the crumbled pillar, she silently advanced towards him, a determined and definitely scary look haunting her eyes.

"For one---" She gritted through her teeth, swinging the rock directly across and smashing it against Robbie's head, temporarily stunning him as he swooned, "Phil's definitely not a doofus."

She spun him around and stared him straight in the eyes, her face deathly calm. "He's the greatest boy I've ever met, so I really don't need you changing that. And two---"

With a powerful thrust she shot her knee upwards, colliding with a place that DEFINITELY turned out to be any guy's weak spot, even a robot's, and Robbie collapsed in pain with a gasp, doubling over.

Keely flipped her hair back casually and crouched down, slipping the controller out of his grasp as he rolled around, breathing harshly. She straightened and put a hand to her hip, smiling. "Don't mess with a pissed off girl. And don't ever think that we can't kick butt."

She turned and rushed over to where Phil was slowly pushing himself into a sitting position, rubbing the back of his head tenderly. "Ohmigod, Phil, are you okay?" Keely cried, dropping to her knees and tackling him in a fierce hug. He grunted in pain and she immediately pulled away, apologizing quickly. "Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Are you okay?"

She helped Phil up to his feet and held onto him tightly, turning to see that Robbie was already back on his feet, no longer grinning. "Uh, Phil…what are we gonna do?" she whispered fearfully as they backed against the wall. "I really thought that he would've been put out for good on that last blow I gave him."

Phil laughed shortly, still breathing heavily from the last attack. "Keel…remind me to never make you mad ever again, okay? Cause I'm pretty sure that any other human guy would've stayed down for at least a week from that attack of yours."

Keely smiled, but it soon faded as Robbie began making his way towards the both of them, cracking his knuckles with mechanical clicks. Phil looked down and noticed the controller clenched in Keely's hand, and a grin slowly appeared on his face. "Can't turn him off…but I bet a little dog could help us out."

"What?" Keely questioned, giving him a look before turning back to Robbie, who was steadily coming closer.

Phil grabbed the controller and studied the buttons, and his face lit up with recognition as he fingered the small device. "I've seen something like this before…"

"Phil…could you hurry it up, please?" Keely tugged at his sleeve nervously, as Robbie grinned maliciously just a few feet away.

Quickly, he pressed a button, and right on command the robotic dog barked and rushed towards them, wagging its tail as it came. Robbie halted as his eyes widened in horror, and he dove out of the way just as the dog skidded to a stop before Phil and Keely.

Keely stared on in awe as Phil leaned forward and pet it on the head, grinning widely when the dog dropped a heavy iron tongue out and panted happily. "You made him…good." She shook her head in amazement, blinking slowly. "This is the weirdest moment of my entire life."

Phil gave a goofy smile as he turned to look at her, and despite the situation they were in, Keely's heart gave an unexpected flip. No matter where they were, he always seemed to have that uncanny ability to...

She flushed and quickly tried to cover it up by pointing to where Robbie was slowly advancing once again. "Phil!"

Phil pressed another button on the controller, and with a gleam in his eye he smirked, stopping Robbie mid-step.

"Sick'um, boy."

Instantly the dog was on its haunches, growling viciously as it turned towards a stupefied Robbie. He let out a bloodcurdling, unnaturally high-pitched scream and made a mad dash for it, with the dog in hot pursuit.

Phil let out a soft chuckle before dropping to his knees, Keely following him in frantic worry. "Phil! Are you okay? Ohmigod!" He shot her an obvious look, rolling his eyes as his voice dripped with sarcasm. "Keel…I almost got trampled twice, I got hit with huge pieces of rock, and I smashed myself into a wall. Yesss…Of course I'm okay!"

Suddenly his arms were full of Keely as she hugged him tightly, letting out a silent sob as her emotions unexpectedly took over. "You don't know how much you scared me. I thought…after he hit you…" she said in a ghost of a whisper, barely audible as she buried her face into the crook of his neck, tears threatening to fall at any moment. Everything she had been holding in the entire time finally burst through…all of her worries and fears and, most of all, relief.

"Keely…" Phil said gently after his surprise wore off, pulling her off of him and looking into her eyes with a warm smile. "I'm okay now, alright? It doesn't matter, once we leave it'll be like I never even got hurt."

She blinked once as something he had just said clicked in her mind, while everything else was forgotten for the moment. Her brow furrowed in thought and she leaned back, placing her hands on each side of her on the cold ground. "Phil…couldn't we have just taken off the Virtu-Goggles if we wanted to get out of this place?"

Phil gazed at her blankly for a split second before he slapped a hand to his forehead, moaning as he realized the reality of it all. "Oh my God. You have GOT to be joking!"

Keely suddenly laughed as the irony of the entire situation hit Phil right in the face. "Are you saying that we could've just avoided this entire disaster by simply taking off the goggles? And you thought I was the slow one!"

Phil shot her a poisonous glare, folding his arms across his chest stiffly as he looked the other way. "Let's just get out of here." He muttered, raising his chin in defense while Keely laughed all the more harder.

"Phil…" she placed a hand on his shoulder as her laughter died away, and she gave him a small smile. "I had a great time at the movies, at least. No matter how much of a disaster this turned out to be…again…" she added, rolling her eyes as memories of her first trip popped in her mind. She cut her eyes back to Phil. "…Thanks. Really."

A grin slowly appeared on his face as he gazed at her beautiful smile, the sparkle in her eyes that told him that she had meant every single word. "No problem. C'mon," he sighed, reaching up to take off his goggles.

"Oh, and Phil…" he stopped halfway and glanced at Keely, a questioning look in his eyes. She smirked and took off her goggles, her voice already fading with the rest of her figure.

"You're sleeping on the floor tonight."
