Chapter 3: Car Shop
As of right now, Green was standing in front of a car shop, centered in-between two rather large rows of an even larger variety of seemingly used vehicles as Angela went inside to purchase the van they had found. As to Where or How one could manage to get as many cars as this for a job like this, he didn't think he'd ever know. But if there was one thing that he instantly knew about this place from a first glance, it was that this place was better managed and operated than his zoo was. That, and it had received more money gaining attention than his zoo did. But at the same time, Green didn't see this as anything worth complaining about. Matter of fact, he had congratulated the boss for gaining so much success.
The parking lot alone was massive, and the building behind it was only as big as it needed to be for a good enough amount of people to manage it. But what had really caught his attention was the billboard-like sign that read: Peter's Christian Car Shop. Green smiled to himself upon looking up at it again. Seeing as he, Angela and Golden were all Christians, this would really be one of the better places for them to look for the vehicles that they needed. And the better thing was, all of these cars only sold in the hundreds. Or at least the bionicle vehicles did. As big as their vehicles were, it didn't really cost as much to build them as much as it did for the ones that humans built.
Then taking his attention off of the sign he decided to watch Golden closely as he skipped from car to car. Under normal circumstances, people in Greens position would NEVER allow their kids to run around like this. But even though Green felt more protective over Golden, being his older brother and all, he decided to let Golden continue his pattern from vehicle to vehicle as long as he looked both ways before crossing the road, which of course, he did. Green even laughed upon hearing Golden yell: "Cool"!, upon seeing yet another car that interested him. It always seemed funny to Green how one at a younger age would often act in a funnier manner than most adult aged Bionicles would.
But Green quickly turned his attention to the glass door at the front of the building as it opened and Angela walked out, instantly finding Green in her sights as she continued walking. Green gave Golden a quick: "Be careful"., before then walking towards Angela as well, deciding not to be lazy and make her walk any father than he thought she had to. Once they had finally reached each other, Angela was the first one to speak.
"We got the van"., She told him "And only for $1000 too".
"Good"., Green told her with a smile and a nod. "Thanks for getting it for us".
"Well, I DID get it with YOUR money"., Angela told him with a smile of her own. "Is it still ok if I say your welcome"?
Green smiled back with a short laugh, then replying: "Of course it it".
"You're welcome then"., Angela said adding a little humor to her voice.
A few seconds passed as they just seemed to stare at each other and forget what was going on before Angela immediately broke the silence by then asking him: "Find anything yet"?
Instantly snapping out of whatever had made him want to stare like an idiot, he replied: "Nope, still looking".
"WOAH"!, They both heard Golden exclaim.
After spending the next couple of seconds laughing about whatever Golden had wowed about, Angela continued: "OK, well, just let me know if you find anything, alright"?
"Ok"., Green told her with a nod.
Angela then decided to give Green yet another smile before then turning around and walking away. And the SECOND she started walking, Green's eyes forced themselves to stare at her...AGAIN! And at the same time, Green couldn't even help it. Ever since the first day he met and saw her in the High School they had both attended, he had been so INFACTUATED with her. Whenever he was around her he had always found something about her that simply amazed him. And these somethings would often present themselves whenever he never expected it. But the fact that they had become very close friends over the years, was the reason why he had never really had the guts to tell her about these infatuations.
Instead, he would try and pull the funniest pranks he could think of (Which were all harmless none-the-less) on other unsuspecting victims, making Angela laugh and hoping to catch her eyes in a way where these feelings would be returned. But those days of trying to impress her through loud laughter were over now. Ever since the day his parents left him to take position of manager for their zoo (which yes, was done by choice) it had to stop. Giving him yet another reason to be angry. But as Green thought sadly back to those days, Golden quickly ran up behind him and tugged on his arm.
"Green"!, Golden yelled.
Green immediately snapped out of his saddened state of mind, and replied: "What"? Then looking down to see Golden with a facial expression that told Green that he might have found a favorite piece of art. "Oh, hey bro, what's up"?, he then asked him.
"Come look at what I found, come on"!, Golden exclaimed, pulling harder now on Greens arm.
"OK, just hold your Rahi, ok"?, Green told him as he was nearly pulled off his feet in deciding to let Golden lead him to whatever he had found that had made him so happy at this point in time.
It didn't really take that long before Golden came to a complete stop and pointed to whatever vehicle was now in front of them. Green was about to make a funny remark towards how hard Golden was pulling on his arm, but upon having his arm let go and gazing upon the said vehicle, Green had become lost for words, staring at the yellow vehicle in front of them in pure amazement. He wasn't exactly sure what model it was, but he DID like the stylish design on the hood, which looked like two armored engines that stood side by side, directly in front of the two black seats. And seeing as those were the ONLY seats in the vehicle, this was what most matoran preferred to call a two-seater. And unlike most two-seaters, this one was an open roof vehicle. Which luckily wouldn't be a problem since Green had plenty of rain tarps back at the zoo.
After a few seconds of silence, Green finally said: "Whoa, that is NICE".
"You really think so"?, Golden asked him.
"Yeah"., Green told him with a nod.
Green had made his decision just then, Angela was had the money, and if she was impressed by this vehicle enough to gain a better interest in him, it would be worth it.
Green turned to his left, seeing Angela waiting by a large, brown van which was assumingly the van she had just purchased earlier, and called out: "Hey Ange"!
Upon hearing this, Angela took off running, heading towards the source of Greens voice.
Upon then finding him standing next to his brother, she asked: "Yeah"?
"Look at this"., Green told her, nodding to the car that remained still in front of them.
Angela looked in the direction of where Green was nodding, seeing the car and staring at it in her own sense of fascination.
"Wow"., she commented.
"Right"?, Green told her. "That's what I said".
As Golden then laughed almost a little too loudly at this remark, Green quickly took a moment to look over at Angela's face, instantly seeing the amazement in her face at the vehicles structure. Green grinned widely. Upon seeing this said grin, he KNEW he wanted this car. It was gonna be the PERFECT instrument to woo her! And if he talked her into buying this for him, he was SURE that he would be one step closer to having her willingly in his arms! But as for right now, he just decided to focus on the first things first moto and get to asking.
"So uh, can I have it"?, Green humorously asked.
Angela looked at the white price tag that laid on the front of the vehicle. The tag read: $300. Upon seeing this, Angela smiled. If Green really wanted this vehicle, it would be very easy for her to purchase it. And hopefully bring a little more excitement into Green's life. Or at least enough excitement to get Greens mind off of the things that were currently bothering him. Anything she could do to make him happy would be pretty good for her too, simply because she couldn't STAND to see Green in as much emotional pain as he already was.
Then turning to Green (who quickly disposed of his grin the second she started turning), Angela replied: "Well, like I said earlier, we still have $3000 left over, so if you're not joking about wanting this car, it's yours".
Thank you Lord!, Green silently prayed before then saying: "Yeah, of course I'd like it".
"Alright then, I'll be back in a second"., Angela told him before then turning around and walking away at a normal pace.
"Hey Angie"!. Green called.
Angela turned to him then, patiently waiting for whatever he was going to say next.
"Thank you"., Green told her with a smile.
Angela smiled back, giving Green a nod before then turning back around and walking once more towards the building that sat a few feet away from them. And right then, Green stared at her once more, making sure she wasn't looking back at him as he did so. If he wasn't smart, he probably would've assumed that Angela loved him in yes, a romantic fashion. But he was smart enough to know that the fact that she used his money to buy him his car, didn't prove whether or not she had feelings for him.
Still, he had found it to be rather kind that she decided to HELP him with his money instead of take it from him like a Piraka. Especially since he had felt himself becoming weaker by his will to stay secretly angry at his parents while simultaneously taking care of a zoo that held at least eighty four Rahi. All of whom had to be well fed everyday by most any means possible. And it almost wasn't fair for him. But when he had received the news, in his third year of college (As if things hadn't been hard enough already), he KNEW that there were only two options for him at that point. The first was to stay at the college while his little brother would be adopted by another family and while the zoo his family had worked so hard for, would be torn down. The second, of which he had ultimately chosen, was to leave his education behind and take two new responsibilities: The zoo and Golden.
And what REALLY made it all worse, were the two consequences that his second choice would hold for him. The first one being an inability to gain any new education and the second being the fact that he would probably never see Angela ever again. And he wasn't exactly sure he could live with THAT. Heck, he had actually broken down in FRONT of her when he told her. But when Angela comforted him with a hug and told him she'd go with him, he REALLY wasn't sure he could've been any happier. It had actually been an answered prayer too, which as he remembered, went along the lines of: Please Lord, PLEASE don't separate us from each other. And he thanked him every night now for answering that prayer.
But as Green then decided to look away from Angela's beautiful form, he looked over at his new car and JUMPED. Did that thing just... no., Green thought. It was just a car. No way it could've moved, right? But something in his head still screamed: I KNOW I just SAW that! It could've just been the wind. Yeah, if there even WAS any wind as of right now. He looked up. No clouds to cause any wind. Or better yet, not one that would be strong enough to make it SHAKE. But as Green then looked down at Golden's face that looked up at him, almost DEMANDING an answer as to why he had acted like he had seen something strange, he decided to push it aside and accept that it was just him seeing things.
And little did he know that his life was about to make a change. A BIG change...

Yeah, I know it's just like the Transformers movie, but how else was Green gonna get his new car? Hm? ,:0) Anyways, thank you all for reading, please leave a review to tell me what you think of this story so far, and feel free to ask me any questions you have in mind, regardless of whether it's through a Review or a PM, and have a God-blessed day! :0)
