CHAPTER 3

IDIOT SHE SAYS? ENTER TORI!

The next morning, Lynn came downstairs and saw Spike sitting at the kitchen table fastening the buckles to his black boots. She walked over to him and kissed his forehead, "Good morning, Spike."

He looked up at her and kissed her lips gently, "Hey, Lynn." He watched her take out a jug of milk and pour it into a glass. "You ready to meet with Ker today?"

She took her glass of milk and sat at the table with Spike. "Oh so that's why you were up so early. Ker wanted to meet with us today?"

The hedgehog made a nod, "Yeah at the Chaotix. In the old training room."

The cat took a sip of her milk, "Training room? I wonder what he's got planned for us."

After Spike put on his boots, he directed his attention towards Lynn. "Man, I can't wait to become leader of our team. I came up with a name and everything."

His wife arched an eyebrow as she was surprised that Spike was thinking so hard about the team already. "You came up with a name? Already?"

"Yeah! I was thinking Kakumei!"

Lynn placed a finger to her bottom lip and smiled as she thought about the name. "You know. I actually like that name. What does it mean?"

"It's Japanese for revolution."

The cat took another sip of her milk, "Oh! Japanese eh? I love it!"

"Really? Heh, thanks, babe."

Her smiled faded as she began to look at Spike strange. 'Spike', she thought. 'We're finally adults yet...I've felt like our lives together just begun.'

Spike noticed her staring and began to get concerned. "Lynn? What's wrong? You act like something's troubling you."

She snapped out of her thoughts and shook her head, "Oh! No, nothing's wrong. Everything's fine."

When Spike saw her smile, he thought that she was covering up her real excuse as usual but he decided to cheer her up a bit.

Lynn watched in confusion as Spike stood from his chair, grabbed her by her wrist, spun her body around, and made her back touch the front of his body. "Um, Spike?"

"Yeah?"

"What are you doing?"

He began to laugh a bit because of her confused expression. "We rarely play our childhood games anymore you know?"

When she felt his hands grip around her waist and his breath touching her neck, she thought he was talking about something completely different. "Um, is it a sex game?"

The hedgehog laughed once more, "Heh, you're such a pervert."

She blushed in embarrassment at his comment. "Pervert? You're the one who's..." She was suddenly silenced when she felt Spike's lips touch hers. She moaned slightly as she felt his tongue fighting with hers.

Spike pulled away before things had gotten out of hand. "Okay let's not get too carried away, Lynn."

"Carried away?" She spoke hysterically. "You started it", she then felt him beginning to tickle her sides with his hands.

Spike knew she was seriously ticklish and loved to toy with her that way. "Perverts must be punished!"

The cat laughed uncontrollably as she tried to pull away from his grip. "Hehe! Spike, stop it! I'm...I'm ticklish!" She spoke as she continued to laugh.

"Yeah? No shit", he stopped tickling her and made her face him as he began to kiss her soft lips once again.

As they engaged in another passionate kiss, they heard Spike's wrist watch start beeping.

Spike pulled away from Lynn, shut off his watch, and glanced at the time. "Come on. Ker's waiting for us", he said as he started to walk out of the door.

Lynn made a nod and followed him.

When the two walked outside, Spike was suddenly forced to jump back because of a fast moving figure that came at him. He almost fell to the ground, but remained on his feet.

Lynn embraced him by his arm, "Oh! Spike, are you okay?"

Spike looked at the mysterious figure in annoyance. "What the? Oh...", he growled. "...It's you again..."

The fast moving figure came back at him and stopped where it was.

Spike's eyes were fixed on a light blue bird with dark blue wavy hair wearing yellow goggles on her head while she stood on a light blue colored Extreme Gear. "You! You she witch! You almost ran me over again!" He shouted while he shook his fists at her.

Lynn placed her hands on her hips as she glared at the bird. "Why do you always intend to kill my husband every morning with your stupid inventions? You...you whatever your name is!"

The girl sighed as she picked her Extreme Gear off of the ground and held it in her arms. "My name is Tori and this is called Extreme Gear, you simpleton. Get it memorized, you nagging little bitch."

"Oh that's it!" Fueled with anger, Lynn wanted to walk towards the bird to hit her with her fist, but Spike had held her back.

Spike held Lynn's hand and forced her to follow him. "Let it go, Lynn. She's not worth it."

As they both walked away, the bird smirked, dropped her Extreme Gear on the ground, and stood on it again. "That guy...", she murmured. "...He's such an idiot and I...hate idiots."

A/N:

Lynn: Takashi? Where is Ker?

Takashi: He must be running a little late.

Spike: Why? He does nothing special this early in the morning.

Ker: Guess again!

Spike: Gah! How does he do that?
