Sprx- (in his room playing with the dolls) Hello Nova!
Me- (busts down door) Sprky… give me those dolls!
Sprx- Why?
Me- Its time for their swirly session!
Sprx- NO (starts running) I WILL SAVE YOU!

Suger- Sprx is running from Tiger Priestess because she is going to give Barbie and GI Joe a swirly!
Antauri- This should be interesting!
Me- SPRX, I'M COMING FOR YOU!
Ch 8: Operation: Gibson
"Hey Kai," Nova gained her attention, "did you bring the present for Gibson?"
A huge grin plastered on Kai's lips. "Of course, how could I forget? I'll be right back!" she finished and walked off to grab Gibson's surprise.
"What do you have in store for blue boy?" Emaris asked with Kiko and Suger behind her.
Nova did nothing but smile, "His worst nightmare!" she said.
"That smile is freaking me out," Suger said aloud.
Just then, Kai ran into the room, "She's missing!" she announced to Nova.
"What? She can't be missing!" Nova cried.
Kai looked under the bubble chairs. "What's missing?" Emaris asked curiously.
"And who's 'she'?" Kiko asked with a smile on her lips.
"His worst nightmare," Nova reminded.
"What's she?" Suger asked, trying to get a better description of what, or who they were looking for.
"We'll tell you later. Could you just help us search and if you find anything that doesn't belong, let us know!" Kai continued to search and Nova joined her. Emaris, Kiko and Suger looked at each other and shrugged and started their search for the 'missing she'.
After nearly an hour of searching high and low, no sign of her was found. The five girls finally decided to sit down and gather their thoughts. "No sign of her!" Emaris said. "Whatever or whoever she is?"
"Maybe we should take a break and 'she' will show up!" Kiko insisted as she took a seat on one of the chairs.
"I'm beat! And I don't even know what we're looking for!" Suger slumped into a seat.
"What are we gonna do in the meantime?" Emaris asked with a bored look.
Kai walked over to the computer and inserted a disc. "What are you doing?" Nova asked.
"She loves music!" Kai explained with a friendly smile.
Everyone looked puzzled. "So…" Emaris raised her hand; "whoever this 'she' is she will come out to the music?" the smilidon didn't believe it.
"Correct," Kai answered as a song started to play. "This song reminded me of Gibson… a lot!" It was the song 'Blue' by Eiffel 65. "Gibson seems a little blue… ok, ok… a lot blue!" then the white, green eyed monkey started singing and dancing to the song. "Yo listen up here's a story…" Kai stopped when she looked at Kiko. Her eyes narrowed into a stare and Kiko was suddenly creped out by the facial expression that she had seen rise on Kai's face.
"What?" she asked calmly and Kai slowly advanced closer to her.
"I found her," she answered, "don't move and I'll get her."
"She's on my head?" Kiko lifted her eyes as if trying to see what was on her head. "Ok, now I have to know what is 'she' and what is she doing on my head?"
Suddenly there was a loud squeal from Suger and Emaris as they jumped away from her. "SPIDER, SPIDER, SPIDER, GET IT AWAY, GET IT AWAY!" they both yelled and ran a cross the room.
"A SPIDER?" Kiko screamed and tried to shoo it away and she jumped everywhere. "GET IT OFF, GET IT OFF! IT'S GONNA EAT MY BRAIN, THE BRAIN I DON'T HAVE, GET IT OFF!" she continued to scream and jump around everywhere.
"Don't move and I'll get her off of you!" Kai ran after her. "Stop Kiko and I'll get her! Kiko! Nova help me!" Kai sounded desperate and looked at the yellow monkey. She was trying to hold back a laugh; one hand was trying to cover her mouth, but you could hear some snorting.
"Ok," she shook her head.
"You get her left and I'll get her right!" Kai announced.
"What are you two doing?" Suger asked from behind a table and Emaris poked her head out. "This isn't football!" Suger said.
"Yeah…" Emaris started, "uh… what Suger said." She pointed at her friend. "Hey Suger, we should get this on the camera!"
"Great idea, I'll get it," Suger ran by the others cautiously. Once she grabbed the camera she went back behind the table, where Emaris was waiting. "Got it. Light's, camera, ACTION," she yelled.
"Now," Nova and Kai both grabbed Kiko.
"Hey," Suger turned toward Emaris, "did we get a picture of Diko bald?"
"Oh, no. Hey, you two," Kai and Nova looked over to Suger and Emaris as they held a struggling Kiko. "We forgot to get a picture of Diko, so we'll do that while you handle her." Suger smiled happily.
Kai and Nova looked at each other and then Kiko struggled free. She had the two on the floor and they looked at each other. "That went well!" Nova said sarcastically as she and Kai sat up and watched Kiko run around the room trying to get the arachnid off of her head. "Well, at least she's not screaming."
"Yeah, but she's heading toward Suger and Emaris!" Kai informed her and the two looked at each other. "Should we tell them?" Kai waited for the yellow monkey's answer.
Nova looked at the two as they were taking pictures of Diko's sudden baldness. "Nah, this should be funny! Do you have another camera?"
"Yeah," Kai pulled one out from behind her, "more pictures." She readied the camera.
"Ki-" Suger started as Kiko ran into the two of them and they rolled everywhere.
"Are you getting this?" Nova asked from the sidelines.
"Yeah," Kai was taking shots.
"GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!" Kiko was commanding the other two as they were still rolling around on the floor.
"Popcorn?" Nova held some popcorn in her hand and offered it to the photographer. Kai put a few pieces in her mouth and continued taking pictures.
"Mmm… I love buttered popcorn!"
The three rollers came to a halt once they hit the wall and then they were sent in different directions. Kiko went into a corner and Emaris landed into some food that was knocked over when the three collided. And Suger seemed to have gotten it bad… again. "Ow. My head." She grabbed her head as she tried to sit up, but she couldn't move. 'I guess I'll lie down for a minute.' She felt an arm wrap around her… again. She was afraid to look. Once she turned, she met a face.
"Where ya been all my life?" Diko said and he held her tighter.
"OH, SNAP! UH, UH! GET YOUR HANDS OFF OF ME NOW!" she forced herself to stand up and once she was on both feet, she was pulled back down.
"You have beautiful eyes!" he said as he slowly opened his eyes and looked at hers.
"Oh, snap," Kai started, "he's starting to wake up! Quick, go get a skillet!"
"What for?" the other three asked.
"Oh, never mind, he's back asleep!" Kai was relieved and a freaked out Suger stood up and ran over to the others.
"You two looked like you had fun," Kiko smiled slyly.
"SHUT UP KIKO!" Suger demanded.
"Hey Kai," Kiko started to ask, "what were you going to do with that skillet?"
The four looked at her with a blank stare, "Oh, c'mon! You mean to tell me you don't know?" the others shook their heads. "YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME?" Kai calmed down. "I was going to hit him over the head!" Kai explained.
"You're evil," they said in unison.
"Well we would have to unless you want him to wake up and try to get him back into his slumber state with the others!" she pointed out. They all nodded slightly in agreement. Kai moved closer to Suger and placed her hand over her head. When she pulled away she smiled.
"What's in your hands?" she asked.
Kai smiled, "Tara," she moved her hand and revealed a 3 inch spider with legs nearly 10 inches long. She was black with shades of brown. "Tara the tarantula!" Kai smiled as they backed away. "Don't worry, she won't bite unless provoked, but in Gibson's case…" she paused. (The following are facts) "Tarantula's aren't aggressive! Humans gave them that reputation and tarantula's are placid and only will attack if provoked. There are approximately 300 species on Earth. And they eat young poisonous snakes. They can live up to 30 years or more in human years. Interesting hu."
"Just keep that thing away from me." Emaris, Kiko and Suger said.
"I told you she would come out at this song!" Kai said and the song finished and she moved closer to Gibson and placed Tara on his head. "You're supposed to scare the daylights out of him when he wakes up!" she told the large tarantula and she stayed there and didn't move a muscle.
"Gibson's gonna die of a heart attack when he sees Tara!" Suger said.
"Or squash her," Emaris crossed her arms.
"Not if she gets him first!" Kai said then looked at the large arachnid. "Now, be nice to him. No biting!" she said in a tone that is used for small children. She grabbed the camera and took a few pictures. "Ok," she turned with the camera in hand, "Xel's next!" she smiled.
Well I hope that one was better than the last chapter. I thought it was. Now all we need is Gibson to wake up.
Gibson- (stirs and sits up) Wha-?
Me- Oh no you don't (grabs skillet and hits him over head. He is sound asleep again.)! I should have let Tara make him pass out! I act too soon. Well please review and if you have suggestions for Xel… share away.
