And the Award Goes to

The Arlen Police Station.

Jarek sat in a cell by himself, any other people arrest from the fight night had sobered up and gone home. He sat there silently but turned his head when he became aware that someone was nearby. He looked over and saw Kabal there.

"Evening officer." He smirked.

"What are you doing here Jarek? What's going on?"

"Don't think I can tell you that. Given your current situation." He motioned the badge on Kabal's chest.

"Tell me!" Kabal slammed on the bars." Where is Kano, what is he planning?"

"Kano came here thinking this boring little town would help out our predicament. He heard of this fight club and got in on it."

"What predicament?"

"I can't say much. He was the only one who really knew." Kabal grumbled.

"Where is Kano now?"

"You boys got me. The Special Forces got him."

"The Special Forces are here?" Jarek nodded." Well I guess Kano didn't put that in his plans now did he?" He turned and prepared to walk away.

"They've most likely taken him back to their base." Kabal stopped in his place." Are you just gonna stand by and let that happen. He was like a brother to you." Kabal snuck his head low and walked away.

It had been four days since Kano's capture. Since then he has been under constant surveillance by camera and at least one member of the Special Forces at all times.

But it had also been four days since Bobby had made the shocking discovery about Connie. And because of that he'd been very down recently and he made no real effort to hide it. Everyone noticed his gloomy manner and the way he carried himself.

"You seem introspective Bobby." Said Kenshi when he approached Bobby." Are you alright?"

"I'm fine." He responded glumly. He turned and prepared to walk away but Kenshi reached out his arm and stopped him.

"Somehow I don't believe you." He said. Bobby would normally say something funny here and prove him wrong but instead he stood there with his head hung low." Come with me a second I want to show you something." Kenshi turned and led the way and Bobby instead of walking away just followed after him.

Kenshi led him to the training area, stepping onto the mat. Kenshi once again took his sword out of it's sheath. Bobby watched as Kenshi began swinging his sword up down and all around as if he was I a fight with enemies that weren't there.

Normally he'd be excited to see such a thing but Bobby was less than excited now. When he was done Kenshi turned and aimed the hilted of the sword at Bobby.

"Now you try." He said. Bobby gripped the sword it one hand and foolishly just swung it like it was a broadsword." Think of the sword not as a weapon, but as a part of yourself. It is you, all your strengths and weakness, your hopes and dreams." Bobby lightened his grip and swung the sword more casually.

At that very same time Jax was watching the two up in his office. He sat there and wondered what could possibly be bothering the young man, seeing as how only a few days ago he led the charge and seemingly brought down the Black Dragon.

"You wanted to speak to me?" Sonya's voice spoke up from behind him. Jax was now brought back to the reason why he was there.

"Yes." He turned back to her." I have a special assignment for you." Sonya raised an eyebrow. She was curious since the Black Dragon had been defeated she could think of no new threat so recently. But like any good soldier she accepted.

"What are the details?" she asked. Jax held up a newspaper in his hands and then handed it off to her. Sonya looked at him confused but took the paper in her hands and then opened it. And what she saw on the first page shocked her to the core.

"Protection." Jax replied. She slowly picked her head up and looked at Jax surprised.

"You can't mean it." She said.

"I can and I do."

"We have too many threats to deal with now. The Black Dragon, Outworld-"

"We have Kano in custody the Black Dragon is defeated. There has been no movement from Outworld in weeks. This is a simple mission, a walk in the park for you."

"I won't do it." She gripped the newspaper in her hands.

"You were asked for personally." Jax told. Sonya had no reply to that and just grinded her teeth.

"Fine." She grunted. She turned and prepared to leave.

"One more thing." Jax said stopping her." Your taking Bobby with you."

"What?!" she yelled turning back to him.

"He's been down recently. I don't know about what, but something like this would do him some good. Besides this'll be a good training exercise for him." Sonya sat back and nearly tore the paper up in her hands, thinking it would be the only way to vent her rage. Jax walked across the room and opened the door, seeing Bobby and Kenshi on the ground below." Bobby!" he called out getting the boy to look up in his direction." Come up here, I'd like to have a word with you."

"Duty calls." Said Kenshi acknowledging Bobby had to leave. Bobby nodded to him and began walking away." Invincibility lies in the defense; the possibility of victory in the attack." Bobby stopped and turned to Kenshi as he spoke and once he was done he turned and continued on his way.

He walked into Jax's office where he found his commanding officer and a very aggravated looking Sonya Blade. Bobby looked over the angered Sonya and before he could say anything or pry into her situation Jax spoke.

"Bobby we have a mission for you."

"A mission?"

"Yes. You and Sonya will be operating on this one."

"Alright." Bobby said with a nod." What's it for?" Jax was silent as he looked to Sonya and then back to Bobby.

"We've been asked to escort and protect a very public official." Jax told. Bobby began running a list of people in his mind who it might be. A mayor, governor, senator, maybe even the President.

"Who?" asked Bobby. Jax was about to answer when Sonya did it for him.

"This." She held the newspaper up and slammed it in his face. Bobby took the paper off his face and read the first page.

It read "Oscars Sunday Night, Johnny Cage nominated for Best Actor" The front picture was a photo of the man shirtless with a trademark grin and sunglasses showing the 'hang loose' sign with his fingers.

"Are you aware of him?" asked Jax.

"Of course." Said Bobby." He's a big action star, does all the best movies."

"Well good. "Jax nodded." I'm sure you'll be happy when you meet him."

"You mean?" Bobby pointed to the paper. Jax nodded." Awesome!" Bobby was now showing some signs of life and that made Jax smile.

"Sonya will act as commander on this mission. She'll give you all the little details." Bobby turned to Sonya but the angered look on her face made him take a step back." I believe you only have a few days to prepare, shouldn't you get ready?"

"Fine." Sonya grumbled. Then she turned and led the way out of the room. Bobby hesitantly followed after her. He followed her expecting her to explain the situation but she seemed as if she was going off to vent. So Bobby eventually took it upon himself to learn of the situation, the only way he'd do that was by asking.

"Um Sonya." He said. She slowly turned around to face him looking like a bat straight out of hell." Lieutenant what um...what exactly is the situation here?"

"Johnny Cage needs an escort to the Oscars, we have been assigned to it."

"Okay." Bobby said not entirely sure of the situation." So what should we do like-"

"Buy a tuxedo, wear it, be here on Sunday afternoon at 1300." Sonya with no more to say on the matter turned and walked away. But Bobby at least came out of the situation more knowledgeable, he knew what he had to do. So he went home that night and got a tuxedo, one of his father's old ones actually. He couldn't give great details to his parents who really wanted to know what was going on.

The day finally arrived, the day of the mission. Bobby stood outside the barracks wearing a regular black tuxedo and bowtie. He'd been waiting for nearly a half hour expecting Sonya to arrive at any moment.

"You're late." Said a voice getting Bobby's attention. He turned his head to see Sonya standing there although he didn't recognize her at first. She wore a black sequined strapless dress with black heels and colorful makeup." What are you looking at?" she questioned when he said nothing and was only starring at her. Sonya looked past him and saw a limo approaching the gate." Here we go." She sighed. Bobby looked to the gate and watched as the limo pulled in through the gates and rode up to the two.

"I-I've never met a movie star before." Bobby stammered now suddenly feeling nervous." Should I call him Johnny or or JC."

"Call him whatever the hell you want. "she said. The limo drove up and parked right before the two.

Bobby expected the door to open up but instead the sunroof opened and a man flipped out and landed on the ground before him. He rose up and appeared to be wearing a tuxedo of his own.

"The fun has arrived!" he yelled as he threw his arms up into the air. But instead of a crowd roaring response as he was used to he only saw the two welly dressed people before him, thought he didn't seem to mind. A smirk grew on Johnny's face as he walked towards the two.

"Mr. Cage." Said Bobby steeping towards him." It's great to meet you, I-" But Johnny ignored Bobby and walked right past him.

"Hey beautiful." He addressed Sonya. Now Bobby had never heard anybody talk to her like that and he was very sure there were few(if any) that lived to tell about it. But what surprised Bobby even more was that Johnny was able to grab onto Sonya and dip her without her hitting him or getting mad. Bobby watched as Johnny appeared to lean in towards Sonya but she leaned her head back, forcing him to look at her confused. Sonya nodded her head over to Bobby and the movie star looked up at him. "Hey kid how ya doin Johnny Cage action star, movie star and part time super hero." He said a mile a minute as he pulled out a sharpie and signed his name on Bobby's forehead. Then before Bobby could say anything in reply Johnny turned back to Sonya." Now where were we?" he purred. He leaned towards her but once again she leaned away.

"Don't we have a show to get to?" she asked." And a problem you need help with." Johnny now suddenly seemed to remember the reason why he was there.

"Of course, of course." He snickered." Please follow me." Johnny led the way to the limo walking past Bobby as if he wasn't there.

"Mr. Cage I-" began Bobby.

"You want something else kid?" Johnny asked turning to him." A picture?"

"This is Bobby Hill." Sonya pointed to him. Bobby looked at her confused, that was the first time she ever called him by his name."He'll be accompanying us tonight."

"What?!" Johnny exclaimed." But I just asked for you."

"Two is better than one. Shouldn't we get going?" she pointed to the limo. Johnny looked disappointed for a moment but ran his hand through his hair brining back his 'cool guy' look.

"Right, right. On with the show." He opened the door and jumped into the limo. Bobby was about to enter before Sonya pulled a tissue out of her purse and handed it to him,

"Wipe that off your head." She said." You look like an dumbass." Bobby took the tissue and wiped his head.

"Thanks." He said in a gravelly voice. He wiped the markings off his head as the two entered the limo.

The Limo ride was mostly silent at first. Sonya sat by the window where she took full advantage of looking out of it, Johnny sat next to her and Bobby sat across from them. It was silent at first since Johnny was quiet for the first time since he arrived and was now looking from Sonya to Bobby with his sunglasses on the edge of his nose.

"So how long have you been in the Special Forces kid?" asked Johnny.

"Um." Bobby stammered. He didn't think any public figure such as a movie star would be aware of such things.

"He's been with us a few months." Answered Sonya.

"And what have you two been doing?" Sonya turned and faced him.

"He's my student."

"Ah." Said Johnny the smirk coming back to his face." And what an excellent teacher you are I'm sure." She reached out and put his arm around her." You" He snapped his fingers pointing to Bobby." Umm Bob. You want a drink?" Bobby watched as Johnny reached over and grabbed the bottle of scotch.

"Yes, please." Johnny poured one glass for himself and one for Bobby. But the second the young man reached for it Sonya put her hand over it and stopped him.

"He's not allowed to drink." She said looking at Bobby sternly." We're on a mission." She turned to Johnny, handing him the glass meant for Bobby." Why don't you tell us the details?"

"Details." Johnny nodded as he drank of his own glass and then from Bobby's." Apparently somebody wants me dead."

"Who?" asked Bobby.

"Why?" added Sonya.

"The richer and more famous you are the more enemies you have. And I'm very rich. Someone doesn't want me to win the Oscar tonight."

"How do you even know if you've won it?" asked Bobby. Johnny blew on his tongue.

"C'mon do you even have to ask?" he shrugged his shoulders.

"Bobby and I will be on guard at all times. Nothing is going to happen."

"Oh I sincerely think so." He smirked as he took another sip.

The Academy Awards were being held in Houston in as big as stadium as was the event. The limo rolled up and Johnny was the first one to bound out and smile to all the flashing cameras. Then he turned back and held his hand out to help Sonya out of the vehicle. She rolled her eyes but accepted and stood there with Johnny in full view of the cameras.

Bobby got up from his seat and went to the door, but the second he was about to get out it closed right on his face. An accident he thought and Bobby leaned forward to open the door. But the driver though all the passengers had gotten out and was driving over to get parking space.

The limo began to move right as Bobby opened the door, causing him to roll out of the vehicle and land on the ground. Bobby stood himself up and shook himself free of any dirt. Then he made his way over to the red carpet to find Sonya and Johnny.

Then the two approached security.

"Good evening ." the guard said to him.

"How ya doin?" Johnny smiled. The Guard looked him over and went to Sonya." It's alright bro she's with me."

"Of course, have a good evening sir." The Guard stepped out of the way and let the two pass. Johnny looked over his shoulder to see Bobby making his way through the crowd and towards them.

"Excuse me." Johnny said to the security guard." I'd watch out for that guy." He pointed over to Bobby, continuing once he knew the guard had spotted him." Looks suspicious to me." The Guard nodded.

Then right as Bobby approached the security desk he was surrounded by three guards.

"Excuse me, sir. Could you come over here please?"

"What?" said Bobby. That was all he could say before he was pushed along by security. Johnny smirked as he watched him being carried off.

Meanwhile back in Arlen.

Meanwhile back at the Oscars. Bobby had finally gotten himself freed from security after an intense forty minutes interrogation. It ended when they all realized it was a misunderstanding and Bobby made a funny joke. Now Bobby rushed into the main room and began looking around for two familiar faces.

"Hill!" he heard a fierce whisper. Bobby looked over and saw Sonya looking at him. Bobby began making his way over to her squeezing past everyone with a polite 'Excuse me, pardon me.' He walked up to see an empty seat which Sonya had saved for him.

"Phew" Bobby panted." The security here, you would not believe." He chuckled at his own joke. Sonya managed a slight smile, the first time he'd ever seen her smile actually.

"Yea." Agreed Johnny as he leaned forward, a drink in his hand." What was that like? They make you assume the position." He wiggled one finger.

"I really hope someone tries to kill him." Whispered Sonya to Bobby.

"Sorry?" Johnny said confused.

"And now the nominees for Best Actor." Said Tom Hanks up on the stage.

"Oh this is it!" Johnny boomed." Quiet, Quiet, Quiet!" he said to Bobby and Sonya.

"Leonardo DiCaprio, and Johnny Cage." Tom Hanks held the envelope in his hands and opened it.

"Keep a sharp eye." Sonya said to Bobby.

" And the winner is, Johnny Cage!"

Johnny bounded up from his seat waving his arms in the air, a spotlight came down and shined on him.

"Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!" he yelled as he walked up to the stage. He blew kisses at the girls he gave the 'hang loose' to the guys.

"Oh my God." Sonya sighed as she watched him. Bobby saw this as good a time as ever to ask a pending question that was in his head ever since this mission started.

"How does Johnny know so much?" He asked." With the Special Forces and everything."

"We um…used to date." Told Sonya. Bobby looked at her shocked as Johnny stood at the podium with his award.

"Oh thank you, thank!" He waved dramatically to the crowd." It is such an honor really, really. But who to thank, Myself first off." He chuckled and the crowd chuckled with him. Bobby and Sonya just scanned the crowd for any sign of suspicious activity." My agent Bibs, love you Bibs. And of course my girl over there Sonya." He motioned back to his table, causing everyone to turn and look at her.

"Oh Awkward." Whispered Bobby.

"But thank you for this opportunity. "Johnny continued." It's good to know that I inspire so many of you cause that's what Johnny C do! That's what Johnny C do!" The audience was so thrilled they got up and called, all except two. In one last show of excitement Johny did a front flip on stage.

Meanwhile back in the humble little town of Arlen in the alley down on Rainy Street. Hank, Dale, Bill and Boomhauer stood in the alley as they always do. Hank with a few fading bruises on his face.

"So." Spoke up Bill." How are things going at Strickland?" The trio turned and looked at Hank.

"Things have died down." Hank said." We've all expressed to Mr. Strickland that we don't want us or our place of employment to be in that kind of situation ever again. And I think all that shooting at ha something to do with it, I tell ya what."

"Hmh." Agreed Boomhauer.

"I'd believe it." Said Bill.

"You know." Said Dale taking his cigarette out of his mouth. He paused for a few seconds whil his friends looked at him.

"What do we know?" asked Bill.

"We could start up our own fight club. Charge people to get in, we-"

"No." Hank said turning back to his beer.

"But Hank think of the money."

"No."

"We could take turns hitting Bill."

"No!" Hank said with commanding authority. And that seemed to silence the argument.

Kabal was in a strange situation. He was former Black Dragon but he gave that up and in an attempt to right his wrongs joined the police force. But now Kano a man who was like a brother to him, who'd saved his life dozens of times was being held prisoner likely waiting to be killed. He must have been out of his mind but Kabal thought one good deed deserved another. He would help free Kano but that is where he'd cut ties completely with the Black Dragon.

He jumped up from behind his desk and headed for the doors. But on his way out he bumped into Joseph.

"Where you going?" Joseph asked." Catching Bad guys?"

"No." Kabal replied." I'm um..I'm just going outside for some air."

"Oh okay." Said Joseph easily losing interest. So Kabal was able to leave unmolested, hoped in a police car and headed off to the only place he knew that Kano could be held at the moment. Fort Blanca.

But the Oscars were over and now it was time for the after party, and it was as it was expected to be. And with Johnny winning he spared no expense of the madness. People were bouncing off the walls screaming and breaking things as they went. Yet still two people managed to keep their cool amongst the madness.

Bobby looked around trying to get a good grasp of what was going on but between the loud music and people screaming he had no idea what to do. Sonya reached over and grabbed him, pulling his ear down to his mouth.

"Things could still go bad tonight. I want you to stick close to Johnny while I patrol the perimeter." Bobby nodded to her so she left to do her task. He walked off to do just the same.

He found the actor leaning over the bar with a trio of girls around his arms, a bottle in one hand and a cigarette in his mouth.

"Hey, Hey, Hey Big Bob." He chuckled as Bobby approached." How ya like the party? Here have a drink, Sonya's not here to stop you."

"But she is right." Said Bobby." We're here to protect you."

"Well have a smoke." Johnny aimed his cigarette at Bobby." That won't impair you." Bobby took one solemn glance at the cigarette before continuing.

"Unfortunately I can't do that either." He said remembering an old promise.

"Bah! You people are so stuck up. Live a little, have fun."

"We do have a job to do." Bobby replied.

"Job, job, job." Johnny mumbled." There is no job!"

"What?" Bobby asked confused.

"I made the whole thing up. God are you people dense." Bobby turned around to see Sonya tactically making her way around of the room.

"Excuse me." He said. Then he turned and left Johnny to talk to his superior. He walked up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder getting his attention.

"What are you doing? I told you to guard Johnny."

"This whole things a fake." Bobby said." He set the whole thing up."

"What?!"

"He just told me himself." Bobby pointed to Johnny across the room. Sonya looked from Bobby and glared at Johnny.

"Stay here." She ordered him as she stomped off. She marched over pushing everyone out of her way. She approached Johnny still surrounded by three women. He cocked his head as he noticed her coming. He opened his mouth to speak but before he could Sonya slapped her hand onto his mouth and slammed him against the counter, pushing his neck back. Everyone else quickly scattered as they stood there." My subordinate just told me something very interesting. He told me that you planned this whole thing as a rouse." Johnny mumbled under hand." Care to discuss the matter?" Johnny made a mumbled reply. Sonya nodded and took her hand and pressure off him allowing him to stand up.

"Jeez that's some grip you got." He said. Sonya looked at him angered." But look what you did to my suit, this is cashmere you know."

"Dear God in Heaven-" Sonya exclaimed ready to hit him again.

"Okay, okay. I'll talk, I'll talk." He said calming her down. He straightened out his suit and hair before talking." Yes I lied to set up this whole thing." Sonya gritted her teeth an in an attempt to make her not him Johnny continued." But I had the best intentions I swear."

"Explain." She grumbled.

"Sony babe, there's no future in the military especially not for a good looking chick like you." Sonya looked at him confused." So what do you say, ditch the combat gear for all the happiness money and I can buy." Sonya's glare returned within an instant and she quickly turned and stomped off." You're taking this much too personally." He called to her.

Bobby waited for Sonya exactly where she left him. Within a few minutes he saw her walking back towards him.

"Wha-"

"Let's go!" she commanded and let the way out the door. And Bobby could tell from the tone of her voice that she was madder than she'd even been before so he didn't argue. He followed on her heel all the way to the sidewalk.

"Of all the stupid no good." She grumbled. She stuck her arm out. "Taxi!"

"So what happened?" asked Bobby.

"I don't want to talk about it. TAXI!" she yelled louder. Bobby took a step back realizing she was in a bad mood. He scanned the area trying to keep his eyes off her but that's when he saw it." TAXI!" But then Bobby reached out and grabbed her arm.

"What's say we ride in style?" he said. Sonya looked at him confused but then saw to where he was hinting, a limo. But not just any Limo Johnny Cage's limo. A smirk hot Sonya's face and within a few minutes the two were in the back of the limo and being driven home.

Sonya crossed her legs and rested her head on the back of the chair.

"Good idea Hill." She sighed. Bobby just nodded his head and looked away from her." Pour something to drink will you." She said rubbing her head. Bobby once again nodded and pulled out one glass and filled it.

"Here." He said handing it off to her. Sonya picked her head up and saw the glass before her

"Where's yours?" she asked taking it.

"What? Y-You're letting me drink?"

"You don't need my permission." She sighed." We're not on a real mission."

"My own father wouldn't even let me drink."

"I'm not you're father." She took a sip. Bobby smiled and poured himself a drink. He watched as Sonya gulped her drink down hard so he tried to clear the air somehow.

"Cheers." He held his drink out.

"To fake missions." She said clicking her drink against his." God." She said back and sighed. Bobby chuckled a nervous chuckle but that got Sonya's attention. "What? What's so funny?"

"I was just um…I just thinking of a better Oscar speech than the one we heard."

"And what's that?" Sonya leaned forward. Now Bobby was really on the spot and stammered before he could think of something.

"I'd like to thank my arms for being at my side, my legs for always being there to support me, my fingers for always being there for me to count on." It wasn't his best but it was the first thing he thought of.

Surprisingly though he saw a smirk appear on Sonya's face and a muffled laugh.

"That's good." She chuckled." That suites him." The two shared a brief laugh." You're funny Hill. I never noticed that before." Bobby picked his head up and the two locked eyes for a moment." You did well tonight."

"Tonight wasn't a real mission." He took a sip of his drink.

"But you acted as if it was."

"Only because you did."

"Are you afraid of me?" Bobby cocked his head to her, Sonya leaned back in her seat.

"I've never met a woman like you before." He leaned back in his seat.

"A woman like me." She repeated taking a sip of her own drink. Bobby nodded." What is that?"

"You're tougher than the rest."

"So you're saying I'm manly?" she joked. Bobby didn't think that was possible for her.

"No." he responded.

"Then what?" Bobby looked at her and then looked out the window.

"This is my stop." He said. The limo came to a stop just outside of the Hill residence.

Meanwhile at Fort Blanca.

Using his old Dragon Black Skills Kabal was able to get into Fort Blanca. But that was the easy part, finding where exactly Kano was being kept was the hard spot. So his only option was to peek in each of the barracks.

Kano was being held in the underground base, guarded presently by Cyrax. And as Kano easily found out the robot was not one for talking, leaving his time silent. But his attention was drawn to the sound of stomping boots. He picked his head up to see Hsu Hao making his way towards him.

Kano smirked.

"Evening mate."

"Good evening." Said Hsu Hao standing on the other side of the cell." Cyrax, deactivate for upgrade." The robot did as his master commanded and bent over. Hsu Hao flipped open the machine's head and inserted a chip into his head." Reactivate." He said when he was done, and the robot did that.

"What's that?" asked Kano.

"A small parting gift." Hsu Hao said.

"Sounds like fun." Kano smiled.

"Have a blast." Hsu Hao smiled. Then he turned and walked away. On his way out he found his commanding officer and Kenshi sharpening his sword." Major, do you mind if I head out early tonight?"

"Is Kano being guarded?"

"Of course, by Cyrax."

"I don't see a reason why not. Go on, have a good night."

"Thank you." Hsu Hao smiled." Goodbye Major." And at the sound of that last statement Kenshi slowly stood up. Then he watched as Hsu Hao disappeared up the stairs. That last statement felt strange, he felt as if it was coming from a place of anger. And the aura he felt was not what he normally felt with Hsu Hao.

Jax turned and began walking towards the cell where Kano was. Kenshi followed and he felt it again, the same bad aura shooting out of Cyrax. But it wasn't just the aura he was afraid of.

"JAX!" he yelled reaching out to him. But it was too late the robot Cyrax blew up in a fiery blaze. The explosion traveled all around taking the entire Special Forces Headquarters and everyone in it.

Kabal was outside and making his way around the base. And as he walked up to another barrack to inspect it the structure blew up into flame. The fire surrounded him and Kabal was knocked into the air and landed on the ground.

The structure destroyed everyone began running over and tried to help all while one man walked the other way.

Meanwhile Hank had just exited his own house ready to throw out the trash for the day. But tonight he had a companion Ladybird was following him. The master and dog walked around to the side of the house where Hank lifted the top of the can and disposed of the garbage. Hank turned down to Ladybird and noticed she was looking at the street.

"What is it girl?" He asked leaning down and petting her. Then he looked into the street and saw a long black limo in the street. Then he watched as a familiar figure stepped out of it and into the light." Bobby?" Hank said quietly enough for only himself to hear.

Bobby stood in the street, only several feet away from where his father and friends stand. He turned back and looked at Sonya sitting in the limo with her legs crossed.

"Have a good night." Bobby said." I'll see you tomorrow." Sonya made no reply of any kind so Bobby turned and began walking towards his house.

"Hill." Sonya said. Bobby turned around and watched her get out of the car and walk over to him. Hank watched as the mystery woman who he could not recognize walk out of the limo and up to Bobby. The two stood there inches apart in the street." I never thanked you for saving my life." Bobby stammered some sort of reply but he was stopped as he mouth was covered with Sonya's lips.

She leaned up and kissed him wrapping her arms around his neck. It was strange and sudden but Bobby didn't stop her. He put his arms up and around her back. The wind picked up and Sonya's hair and their cloths began blowing in the wind.

Hank's eyes opened with surprised shock as he watched it all unfold. Then the two slowly broke apart and they stood there looking in each other's eyes.

"I-I have to go." Bobby said. Sonya nodded. Then Bobby took a step back from her but he didn't turn away. He took one slow step after another until both their arms slipped off the body of the other.

"See you tomorrow Hill." Sonya said. Then she went back into the limo and drove off. Bobby just nodded his head and walked back into his house.

Hank silently watched Bobby as he made his way across the lawn. Bobby never even noticed him.

"Heh." Hank chuckled looking to Ladybird." Well how do you like that?"
