Chapter 2: Hidden surprises
"Is this it Nova?" as Jin-May held up some cereal. "Yup that's the cereal, Jin" said Nova.
Both needed to do the shopping since it was Nova's turn to do so but Jin-May thought she give
her a hand. "OK what else do we need?" as Nova told herself while looking at a list given to her.
"Just some milk and chocolate ice cream." she told her while she was searching for the Diary
section. "Here you go" as Jin-May put both items in the cart and off they went to pay for the
items. While on the walk home, Nova and Jin-May were chatting about the adventures they each
had when Nova brought up the one thing Jin -May didn't want to happen in the first place. "So
you ready to be Shugazoom's defender?" she say in a humorous tone. She suddenly she saw her
sadden. "I didn't mean any harm." "No Nova its ok its not that" she told Nova "It's..." she
paused for a minute before Nova said anything. "What is it Jin - May?" as they both got to the
robot "I'll tell you later Nova" as they both went inside.
As soon they both finished stocking the shelves and the fridge, Jin May thought it was a
time to bake cookies since the hyper force hadn't had any for a while. "I'll give you hand Jin
May. After all, you did help me out today so it's the least I could do." smiled Nova from saying
her reply. Soon both were busy make chocolate chips and the first one to notice was Otto coming
from the docking bay. "Let me guess, cookies?" He said while he walked in the kitchen. "Yup,
careful though they're hot." Jin May told him with caution. "Oh no, I wont. It just makes them
more tempting." he replied. "Lucky that these are done." Jin May told Otto as she gave him a
cookie. "Thanks." he replied before he ate it. "I'm going to see if anyone else wants any." Then
Jin May got a plate and put the remaining cookies on it. "Before you leave at least let me get
one." said Nova while Jin- May was almost out the door. "Ok" as she lower the plate and Nova
got a cookie. "I'll be back." Jin May replied. Otto was getting some milk from the fridge when
he spoke to Nova about Chiro's plan to surprise Jin may with something special. Jin-May first to
the docking bay as soon as Sprxs and Gibson returned. "Wow Jin-May these are great." replied
Sprxs. "My calculations say that these where done with the best care." Gibson said next.
"Thanks you two." she told them and she waved goodbye. Soon she was at Antari's door and
knocked. He replied and got 2 cookies. "Thank you Jin-May." he said and Jin-May was finally at
Chiro's door. "Come in." he said while he was finished putting on his red sweater. "Here you go
Chiro." she said shyly and held the plate out for him. "Oh thanks Jin-May" he replied as he grab
a cookie. "No problem Chiro." Jin-May told him while she sat down. "Um Chiro..?" then she
spoke. "We need to talk..." Chiro knew her voice was filled with sadness but his heart was as
well. "Um ok Jin-May" he said though it sounded like he didn't know what he was going to hear.
"Um..Um.." she keep telling him. He just looked at her while she thought on what to say. "When
are you guys leaving?" she said and took a small breath. "In a few days" he replied as calm as he
could. "Oh ok" she followed his words. "Yeah I know. It's kinda of soon." he smiled with a
laugh to follow it up. She laughed with him. Then she said "Well I got to see if Nova needs me
with anything." Jin-May told Chiro as she got up. "Alright then" he said and opened the door for
her. She walked out of his room and into the hallway. Chiro closed the door and walked to his
bed when suddenly his chest hurt. "Ow...it hurts." he said in a painful yet quiet tone of voice. He
then grabbed his sides to stop the pain but his left side of his chest was more painful from it. "I
just got to relax and it will go away." he kept telling himself. Within 10 minutes, it stopped.
"I've got to be careful next time I..." suddenly there was a knock on the door. It was Jin-May
who forgot to get the plate. She told him about it and then said goodbye. "Phew, I didn't want
her to worry. I hope this doesn't mess up my big plan to make her remember me." he said before
lying down on his bed and slowly going to sleep.
