Snake557 : YAY :D

Nikki Firesong : Aww, yay! I'm so glad you feel that way. Yes, OOTB definitely has a lot more inside of it. I'd say we're about half way through the story. This story has about 3 climaxes. I'm excited :D We're upon our first climax, within the next maybe, idk... 20 chapters? It's comin'. And yes, as for Gunner, I tried to make his character as raw as possible. I'm absolutely positive musicians deal with all sorts of mental downfalls, especially if they're insecure or have other things really going on behind the scenes. I tried to put myself in that headspace and I'm glad it's playing out.

faolan1230 : Thank you! And no, it's not Lash. Well... Lemme rephrase, Lash isn't the driving force, but he's present in the situation. It's someone you probably would expect lol. Also, no. I will not be touching on Minty or Swizzle, unless I feel lead. I don't plan for the smaller couples in my stories. I have ONE main couple I drive home, and whatever couples trickle along the way, well then so be it. Some have larger roles, others don't. Swizzle and Minty, no, not so much. I haven't spoken about them in nearly 100 chapters. The Users are a tiny bit more prominent, and Ace and Libby have roles coming up, here, but no, none of them are my focal any longer. I go wherever my heart feels lead - I can't predict it, and I can't explain it. I also am at the end of my rope justifying it xD Just know that I care about each and every one of my characters. Just some I focus on and care about a bit harder.

Worse Things Than Love ft. Natalie La Rose by Timeflies


*Chapter 150*

With confidence that seemingly melted right from the edges of his broad shoulders, Turbo strolled down the familiar, loved sidewalk to his favorite destination. The first place, in this entire city, outside of palace dwellers, that became his fast friends, Sugarbucks stood proud in the early morning sun. It's massive sprawl of glistening windows glinted against said splay of sunlight, its massive green umbrellas already shaded a few early birds that cozily sat in the lovely, late spring weather, they sipped on their coffees and read the daily newspaper. Turbo inhaled a deep breath, removed his sunglasses, tucked them into the gape of the chest of his cream, short sleeved button up and gently began to pull his phone out of his grey, lightly torn and faded motorcycle jeans. He gladly held the door open for another customer, coming into the shop, gave a warm smile, caught eyes and graciously received said individuals quiet and kind 'thank you' for the held door.

As if kissed by the sun, moon and stars themselves, Turbo inhaled a deep breath of Sugarbucks' intoxicating scent of creamy, delicious coffee that soaked his whole being. Upon coming inside, he could see the crew busy towards the end of their peak, though with the slow of customers now well on their way to work, they noticed Turbo's presence and eagerly greeted him in welcome into the building. Turbo beamed a wide smile, waved to his friends behind the bar and allowed his shoes to tap to a halt as he got in line behind the single person he let in before him. He looked down at his phone and gently began to type a cute message to Berri. The first message of the morning, he politely asked if she was awake. Knowing full well she likely had a very hard time getting to sleep, he still insisted she be left alone and to at least lay in bed and try to snooze, eventually. Feeling good about potentially being successful, he figured he'd wake up early, get ahead Berri and gift her with a strong coffee to get her through the day.

"Bo!" Bug stated with a wide, adorable toothy grin. His little ears perked high in anticipation as he quickly grappled a hot cup and began to scribble on it, "Got your regular, Americano with two pumps of white mocha, nothing more, nothing less."

"Amazing," Turbo grumbled with a gentle chuckle, though as Bug began to type said order into the computer and begin to finalize it, Turbo inhaled a trembling breath, readied himself and gave Bug a sheepish, humbled look of cute knowing, "I... I actually have another order."

"Oh, two drinks at once, I like your style," Bug choked a nervous laugh, though he went to grab another hot cup and almost nervously stopped to give Turbo an unsure smirk, "I mean... I can always just add extra espresso to your drink, Turbo, I really... Don't know if TWO whole Americanos is a good idea."

"No, no, this... Second drink isn't for me, it's for my, well... Girlfriend," Turbo stated cheekily; he knew he could just so simply place an order for Berri, and the crew wouldn't ask questions, though somehow, the confidence that radiated his whole soul, he felt as if it would likely be a disservice to his good mood if he didn't love on Berri a little, behind her back. To Turbo's delight, Bug, as well as the girl on bar closest to the two, dropped their expressions and peered to Turbo in stunned, cute surprise.

"GIRLFRIEND! Wowww," Bug eased in almost star-struck delight, he flattened his ears and side-eyed Turbo, "'Bout time this old dog learned some new tricks. So, this lucky lady, what does SHE want to drink?"

"She wants a cold brew with sweet cream and white mocha," Turbo diligently listed; although Berri usually got something a little bit less aggressive, he was well aware she'd need the caffeine to get through the day.

"Mhmm, okay, okay, got it," Bug diligently listed the drink recipe on the side of the cup, though he perked up and hovered his sharpie over the top space on the empty cup in anticipatory wait, "What's her name?"

"... Berri," Turbo blurt proudly, though as Bug wrote only the letter 'B' on the cup, he raised his eyebrows in shocked stun, peered to Turbo in a rile of hot understanding and sagged the cup to the counter.

"Y-You...!" Bug exclaimed, "Oh, WOW! You went ahead and made it official, then!"

"I had no choice," Turbo blurt a shaky laugh and beamed the widest smile, "I was going to wait, cause she just got out of a relationship, but it just kind of fell together."

"As it should," Bug beamed the widest, toothiest little grin of entire delight, as if this news made his whole day. He very sweetly wrote Berri's name at the top, and followed it with large font that read 'love, Turbo', "I couldn't be happier for you two. Congrats!"

"Thank you! Today is literally day two," Turbo choked a small laugh as he finished his transaction with Bug and gave him a knowing look.

"Wow, two day anniversary and you're getting her this yummy coffee," Bug waggled his eyebrows, "What's anniversary day THREE gunna look like?"

"Only tomorrow will tell," Turbo's deep voice coat Bug with cute tease as he playfully waggled his eyebrows and stepped out of line; Bug blurt a cute laugh as Turbo walked off, he kindly greet the customer behind Turbo as they temporarily part ways; Turbo raised his eyebrows as his phone buzzed.

Blue : Hardly... I'm so anxious to see Gunner, this sucks. My stress marks are going out of control.

Blue : I really don't know how long our meeting is going to be, but I'm assuming you're down to hang out afterwards? Wren and Theo won't shut up about you. They miss you so much. We all really do need a hang out, y'know?

Black : Absolutely. I have a meeting with your dad in an hour. Do you have a second to meet with me? I just wanted to send you off.

Blue : Oh, sure. I just woke up, though, do you mean right this second?

Black : No, not right this second. Wanna meet me at your front door in five minutes? That doable?

Blue : Yeah babe I'll be there :)

"Turbo and Berri," The one barista, near the hand out plane, kindly called; she set down both his and Berri's delicious drinks and gave Turbo a knowing wink and a smile.

"Thanks, guys!" Turbo eased in cuteness as he swiped up the drinks, plunged a straw into Berri's frosty drink and began to quickly head out the door; as everyone eagerly and kindly called their 'goodbye's' behind him, he nearly skipped out the door and wondered just what the heck was in the water, the pep in his step was springy enough to go bouncing to the moon with. He pushed into Sugar Rush's sunshine with a wide grin he couldn't wipe from his face, he could hardly wait to give Berri her little send-off.

Although she was on day two of her's and Turbo's brand new, shiny relationship, Berri heaved a long, wistful sigh and felt her heart do a bunch of giddy backflips at the idea of being able to see Turbo before she ran off to EZ Living. Although still on the high of excitement, she could feel the little embers of worry begin to spark; the idea of going on tours and leaving Turbo behind, she could feel sadness begin to knock on her door, though she viciously shoved it away. She begged for her heart to let her enjoy this sweet, well-deserved honeymoon phase, and any issues that rose later on, she'd tackle with Turbo side by side. Adamant to allow herself to enjoy everything this beautiful, golden relationship had to offer, she quickly threw on a tank top and grey, skin-tight leggings, popped into the kitchen, briefly stated her cute good morning greeting to Wren and Theo and eagerly pushed down the corridor that lead to their front door foyer. Thankful that Theo and Wren didn't follow her, she unlocked her front door and cautiously opened it as Sugar Rush's sweet, spring time breeze suddenly whisked into her lovely tower, a breeze strong enough to make the door heavy against the press of her hands.

With curious eyes, she only peeked outside and got a good look about her grassy little lot, right outside her tower, though it was just in time to see Turbo's figure casually step off the teleportation pad two dozen feet from their beautiful front patio and front door over hang. She raised her eyebrows in cute, prickled, sleepy surprise and felt her heart do an entire backflip of unadulterated glee. Turbo's extraordinarily handsome figure softly sauntered across the pathway and the palace's green grass, he finally caught eyes with her as he approached the small, few-stepped stoop up to her front door, and with the press of their gravities coming closer to each other, Berri grinned, stepped out of the front door and figured she'd attempt to meet Turbo half way. It was only once he began to cutely spring up the few steps did she notice that he was holding something behind his back, reserved in cute surprise. Berri raised her eyebrows and curiously peered to him as her bare feet stopped on the last step before the porch stepped down into the few beats into the grass.

"I can't believe I get to greet you like this, now," Turbo mumbled in a love-struck groan of delirious cuteness as he pressed up the few steps, closer to Berri's beautiful figure. He peered up to her and held his breath, the beautiful wave of her long, luscious blue hair, the hug of her tight clothes against her gorgeous, curvy figure, the dewy look of sleepiness in her eyes, he shook his head and could hardly believe this incredible being was all his.

"Greet me like what?" Berri chimed innocently as her smile gently sagged to a look of cute, girly question, though as Turbo finally reached her level and gained nearly a whole foot over her, their normal height difference, she fluttered her eyes in whole surprise with the raw fact that Turbo's continuous press, into her gravity, didn't cease at normal talking distance.

With an overflow of sunny confidence, Turbo's free hand so lovingly cupped the back and side of the right side of Berri's head and jaw, and with a sweep of tender correction, he tilted his head to her left and so easily coerced Berri into a romantic, swept up kiss. Berri raised her eyebrows in whole surprise, sagged the delicate press of her hands to Turbo's strong chest and easily inhaled a deep, long breath of want and cute, innocent desire through her nose. Turbo held her face to his and so gently tasted her lips, though his fervor held that bite of passion as he opened his mouth a little further and pressed a tiny bit deeper into their kiss. With the tilt of their heads and the gentle scrunch of their noses into each other's cheek, Berri let a shaky exhale of a girly giggle escape her chest cavity as she easily draped her arms about Turbo's thicker, strong neck and broad shoulders. Still held securely in his able left hand, to Berri's right cheek and jaw, he slowly parted their kiss in the silent smack of sticky lips and hovered over her with a honey-glow of a rosy gloss down onto her cheeks, the mood of his character easily shone through the visible mood ring that was the color of his glowing eyes.

"... Like that," Turbo's grumbly voice just barely eased above a whisper, to which they both crowned wide, toothy, dorky smiles of love-struck cuteness. Berri heaved a shaky sigh, trailed it with a still sleepy giggle and could feel herself falling even harder for this raw and romantic side of Turbo, the very idea that he had all of this inside him, all along, made Berri regret not diving into his love, head first, long ago. Turbo gingerly stroked her cheek with his thumb and, as if he couldn't resist, he leaned down once more and puckered a few more warm, firm kisses to her plump lips; he finally mumbled her a notion through the trail of their last few pushes of pecks, "I gotcha something to get you through the morning."

"Whatd'yah get me?" Berri mumbled in almost delirious, smiling delight, though she fluttered her eyes in a blinking mess of trying to gain her bearings as Turbo slowly pulled away and revealed to her the largest size of a very frosty, creamy, delicious cold brew. Berri raised her eyebrows in surprised delight, though it very quickly sagged to that of poised, bittersweet gratitude as she gave Turbo a look of unmitigated relief, "Bo, you've saved me. You've literally saved me."

"I know you can take care of yourself, but I figured I'd help you along," Turbo's gentlemanly voice pressed down to her in sweet solitude, and as she graciously received the drink and began to move the straw to her mouth, he began to back-step down the stoop he had just skipped up, not seconds prior, "Careful, I got you something stronger than what you normally get."

"Y-You did?" Berri wondered in nervous smiling, and though she didn't want to part from Turbo, just yet, she knew that she needed to get ready to go, and Turbo previously mentioned a meeting with Sugar Rush's King.

"It's a cold brew, a LOT stronger than iced coffee," Turbo called as he now began to press in the direction of the grassy sprawl of land that cut the palace lot in half; he began to back step, so to continue speaking to Berri, though he talked a bit louder, "It'll keep you going. Just text me once you're done, okay, babe?"

"I will, thank you!" Berri called as she gently waved in blushing, girly delight. She inhaled a readied breath and allowed her next statement to so oddly, yet delightfully, come flying right out of her figure, like she had been practicing for months now, "I love you!"

"I love you more," Turbo chimed with a smile, though he noticed Berri open her mouth and begin to retort, to which he firmly pointed and gave her a teasingly stern look of a challenging side-eye, "Don't argue me, missy."

Berri huffed a hard sigh through her grin and finally allowed her hand to slump to her side in defeat. She giggled and watched as Turbo gave her a loving, cute smile before turning heel and heading in the direction of the long, outdoor corridor that lead to the palace's main kitchen and West Wing. Before she could get too lost in watching him walk away, she flinched in surprise the second he looked as if to bring his hand to his mouth. Suddenly a sharp, loud call of a whistle could be heard reverberating off of the palace walls in a bounce, from leagues away, and before Berri knew it, she could hear a thunderous stagger of familiar paws come pounding from out of the enclosure, nearby. Chester, Marble and Balba eagerly stampeded in Turbo's direction, each one of them a babbling, excited mess, especially Chester. As Lickity, Boss and Royal could eventually be seen catching up with the rest of the gang, Berri raised her eyebrows in cute surprise and watched the cute, vanishing show before her.

Like puppies trailing their pack leader, all of the incredible beasts of flyers diligently kept to Turbo's heels as Turbo and Chester loudly began to bicker in a cute, brotherly way, Boss's deep bellowing voice chimed in, as well. A mess of wings, tails and limbs that hovered about Turbo's sunbeam of a confident figure, Berri side-eyed the situation and continued to hold on to a bewildered grin of whole delight. As if this label, that was finally put on the two, had given Turbo wings, Berri felt relieved that he had come flying out of his shell. She took a swig of her delicious coffee, raised her eyebrows in the kick of it, choked a small laugh and looked down at the frosty cup, though she halted in pin-prickled, cute delight. She softened in sweetness as she read the cute little message left for her on the side of her cup, she finally sagged her shoulders and looked back in the direction of Turbo's vanishing figure, among the flyers that loudly bombarded him with friendly, excited antics. She heaved a shaky breath and held the coffee closer to her chest, she felt her veins wiggle with the overflow of love Turbo had on tap, just for her. She wondered just what could possibly happen from here, if it were already this easy and amazing. In the melt of love she so easily soaked in, she almost forgot that she had any troubles outside of Sugar Rush, as if this band meeting, with Gunner, couldn't even touch her due to the amount of sunshine Turbo had just so ironically supplied her with.
