I can't believe it! A new chapter? It's been three months!...
Anyway, this idea popped into my head and exploded.
Thanks C. Geng for editing.
Chapter 11
Today, Ekko had a strange urge to get Jinx a present. He didn't know what, but he would. He was alone for once, because Riven had dragged the blue braided girl off for the rest of the day. Hopefully.
He grabbed his Z-drive from his bed and left his room with high hopes. "Mom, I'll be back later," he called to his mother. After pausing by the door and not hearing an answer, the boy shrugged and stepped outside, closing the door behind him.
...
Ekko sighed as he strolled past stores. There wasn't anything...crazy enough to fit Jinx's taste. A loud screech was heard and his head quickly spun in the direction where the scream had sounded. "What in the world...?" he muttered.
He turned the corner and was met with the back of a blond, blue eyed girl. She looked strangely familiar, with the slightly mussed hair and bright smile. "Oh, sorry! Did you hear me scream? I'm not in danger or anything."
The voice immediately made Ekko snap his fingers. "You're...Lux, aren't you? That over-achieving loudmouth?"
The blond giggled. "You betcha! Though, I don't know about being a loudmouth..."
Ekko shrugged. "Sorry, it's true. Anyway, why were you screaming?"
Lux ran her hand through her hair. "Well, you see, I have these two...friends. They got loose and now they're kinda..." She pointed up to the sky. Ekko glanced up and gaped as he saw a black blob flying in circles with another white blob.
"Uh...what the heck are those?" Ekko managed. Lux smiled sheepishly. "You don't need to know. But I do need help catching them. Would you mind helping? They don't really like me."
Ekko blinked. "Sure."
Lux smiled. "Great! Okay, you go catch the black one! The white one likes me better, I think, so I'm gonna try my luck with her." She ran off, following the white blob in the sky. Ekko called after her, "Wait! How do I catch...it..."
Sighing, the boy glared up at the black blob. "Alright." The black blob lowered slightly, chattering unintelligibly. Ekko ran to the closest building and flipped off of it, grabbing the black blob's tail that was dangling above him. It squealed as it was dragged down by his weight. "Gotcha!"
Ekko triumphantly grasped the blob with two hands, examining it. It was the color of midnight, save for its tail, which was a dark pink at the tip. The ears were also slightly pink at the tips. It had a tear-drop shaped wing on its left side. It had a large, zig-zaggy mouth and large, round eyes that were both pink. "You're a weird blob, aren't you?" Ekko said. It chattered indignantly.
"Let's go find Lux. Maybe she's caught your little friend." Ekko held its tail and let go of it with his other hand, letting the black blob float like a balloon.
...
After a few minutes of searching, Ekko had found Lux, who looked even more exhausted then she had before, with the white blob in her hands. The blonde glanced at the boy, frowning. "How long did it take you to catch him?"
Ekko shrugged. "Not even five minutes."
Lux's jaw dropped. "How? It took me forever to catch the white one!"
The white blob huffed. Ekko glanced at it. It was similar to the black one, but it had a tear-drop shaped wing on its right side. The tail was curled at the bottom, and it had a stubby, unicorn horn on its head. It had round, purplish pink eyes that blinked at him.
Suddenly, an idea popped in his head. "Hey, Lux."
The blonde glanced at him. "What?"
"Do you want to keep these rascals?"
Lux frowned. "Hm, I don't know. They don't seem happy with me. Why, do you have someone in mind? Or do you want to keep 'em? They don't seem to have any problem with you."
Ekko smiled sheepishly. "I have someone in mind."
Lux smiled in relief. "If they cause any trouble, don't hesitate to give them back. They are a handful. Even Janna couldn't handle them, and Zephyr loves her."
Ekko didn't understand the last half of the sentence, but he held out his hand for the white blob. Lux carefully released the blob, and Ekko quickly caught it's tail before it could fly off. Lux let out a giggle that ended up being a loud, clear laugh. "What?" Ekko asked playfully.
Lux spit out her words. "They...look like...balloons!" She wheezed, laughing. Ekko chuckled as he glanced at the two floating blobs that he held by their tails. "They kinda do," he admitted. "Alright, I'd better get going. I need to get back home. Jinx might already be home."
Lux's smile faltered. "Jinx?"
Ekko nodded. "Why, you know her from school?"
Lux forced her smile back on her face. "In a way. She was pretty good friends with me. And Janna, and Poppy, and Lulu...but that doesn't matter now. Maybe we'll talk again soon. Hopefully before we all move on to college. She was a great friend."
Ekko frowned. "I'll see what I can do."
Lux smiled genuinely. "Thanks. But don't push it. Last time I did...she left and didn't come back." The blonde blinked rapidly and turned away. "Anyway, have fun with those two!" She ran off, not waiting for Ekko to answer.
...
Ekko carefully shut all his windows and and made sure the door was closed. Then, sighing, he let go of the two blobs' tails and let them fly free. The black blob zoomed upwards and slammed into the ceiling, causing Ekko to cringe. "That must've hurt," he said aloud. The white blob was calmer, and explored the nooks and crannies of the room, swaying.
A loud crash sounded from outside, and Ekko cringed again. Jinx was home.
"Ekko! I'm back! Riv and I had so much fun!" Her loud footsteps neared his room.
Ekko quickly grabbed the two blobs and held them by the tails as Jinx slammed the door open. Her hot pink eyes scanned the room and she glanced at Ekko, then the two blobs.
She carefully set down Fishbones, PowPow, and Zap. She tilted her head to the side. "Ekko, what are those?"
The blobs chattered frantically, straining. "Oh, someone let me have 'em. I thought you might like them," Ekko said nervously. He released the two blobs, and they crashed into Jinx, knocking her over. She giggled. "They're soft."
She sat up, examining the blobs. "But they're not guns," she pouted. Ekko laughed. "Sorry, doll, I'm not that rich."
The blobs were silent for a moment and they looked at each other. The white blob glowed pink and dropped down on Jinx's lap as a form the resembled PowPow. Jinx gasped. "Oh! This is like PowPow!"
The white gun reformed into a blob and the black blob glowed black. It dropped onto Jinx's lap as well, into a form that resembled Fishbones. "Fishbones!" Jinx giggled gleefully. 'Fishbones' reformed into a black blob.
"I'm gonna name you Shiro," Jinx snuggled next to the white blob. "And you Kuro." She poked the black one playfully. Ekko smiled.
Jinx grinned and tackled him, knocking him over. "Ekko-cookie, they're beautiful! Friends and guns!"
Her face was inches from his.
Kuro slammed into the back of her head, crashing her lips into Ekko's.
She immediately pulled back, her pale face bright pink. Shaking her head, she pulled Ekko up wordlessly and sat herself on his lap, pulling Shiro and Kuro to her. Kuro snuggled in her lap and Shiro nestled herself on Ekko's head.
"Um." Ekko mumbled. "You like your present?"
"Yeah." Jinx sighed, smiling. "They're perfect."
Editors Note(aka Geng...): I had no idea that Shiro and Kuro were part of Jinx's thing or whatever and I got flamed so beware. I mean, kinda lame too that Lux got a ultimate skin when Jinx just got a Legendary one…Where's my Urgot Ultimate Skin?
