Begin Part 2: Tales of the Tell-Tale Heart
Origin One- FIRST, before I even greet you, I-
Ushi-Sama- You just greeted them.
Origin One- Quiet you! Anyway, first off, I know that the title of this part is the name or close to the name of a very famous book. Next, we don't own that book and don't intend to use anything from it on purpose. Ok, now to the greeting-
Ushi-Sama- Which you already did.
Origin One- Sure, anyway hello. For all those who missed the last 6 chapters, go read them. For the few who have been with us the whole time, thanks of a thousand thanks. Also, last chapter we tried to introduce a new person to talk with us but were forced to use tranquilizers to protect our health. Well she's back and hopefully she wont want to kill us.
Ushi-Sama- Um, actually we don't have time. So on with the show!
Alia opened her eyes and yawn. "Uhg." She rolled onto her back and looked at the gray, metal ceiling. Wait a second… she thought, I have a painted ceiling! Alia sat up and looked around.
"Oh, your awake!"
Alia looked to her right to see X. She thought for a second and remembered where she was. Duh, I'm in X's room. She smiled weakly and nodded. "Yeah, sorry, I fell asleep right after you did."
X laughed. "Yeah, and you've been asleep for two hours since I woke up." X got off the bed and stretched. "So did you sleep good?"
Alia nodded. "Yeah, your beds very… un-indented. Almost like you-"
"Don't sleep in it." X said, finishing her sentence. "That would be because I don't. I normally sleep on the roof or at whatever outpost I'm at. Hell, sometimes I don't sleep at all! The last time I slept before last night was right before I went out after Sigma's goons."
Alia looked at him strangely. That would mean X hadn't slept for 2 weeks before the previous night. "How do you pull that off? I thought reploids have to sleep or our core processors overload."
"Normally yes, that would be the case." Replied X, "But Dr. Light designed me two processors. I can use one for a long period before switching to the other. It doesn't work quite as well as a normal nights sleep, but it means I can go months without even a nap. But enough talk about that, lets go get something to eat, it's already two o'clock."
Alia nodded and hopped off the bed. They left the room and started on the long walk toward the cafeteria. X looked down; "I had another dream." He looked up at the ceiling and put his hands behind his head.
Alia looked at him and smiled. "And? Tell me about it!"
X nodded. "Well, I was fighting someone-"
"Who?" inquired Alia.
"I dunno, I couldn't really see him. Anyway, he was seriously beating me. He told me to get up but I couldn't because I was to badly damaged. I kept trying though, saying I wouldn't disappoint my friends."
"Well that was nice of you." Alia said.
"Can I continue?" X said, a little annoyed by Alia's constant interruptions. Alia nodded. "Ok, anyway he said some stuff about you guys sending me to fight a losing battle and forgetting about me among some other stuff."
Alia laughed. "Well at least you know that it's not true. You're way to valuable to the hunters. Plus I wouldn't let them."
X nodded, feeling reassured. "Thanks. It's nice to know that I'm still needed." He took Alia's hand in his as they walked closer to there destination. Alia smiled and gripped X's hand tightly as they entered the cafeteria
After quick lunch, Alia and X leaned back in his chair. "So, what do you wanna do now?" he asked.
"Nothing really, your can choose." She replied.
"Oh, come on, there has to be something." X said as he went back to a sitting position.
"No, really, I can't think of anything."
"There has got to be SOMETHING. Come on, you name it I'll do it if I can."
"No, really, it's ok. You decided."
"I know there must be something your dying to do."
"Well," thought Alia, "there is something."
X laughed. "I told you, now come on, what its it?"
"It's silly, really." Alia said, looking away.
"Oh that's crazy. Come on, you can tell me."
"Well, it's just after riding with you on the grav bike last night I've been dreaming about it. It was the most amazing thing I've ever done."
X smiled, "I think I have a better idea. Meet me in the vehicle bay in half an hour." X got up and started to run for the cafeteria door.
"X!" yelled Alia, "Where are you going? What's your idea! X! X!!"
"You'll see in half an hour! Just be sure to be there on time!" X called back as he left the cafeteria.
Alia sighed as she leaned back in her chair. Great going Alia, she thought, what have you gotten yourself into now?
