Chapter3-problems
It was science and Brainy and Roxy were sat next to each other and working on an experiment whilst having fun with Roxy's mind power they could talk without the teacher finding out...but that didn't matter because as Meg had said the teacher was nice and allowed Talking during experiments and work, one bad thing about that lesson was... Joan, she was sat across the room trying to get Brainy to pay attention to her but her attempts proved futile as he was messing around with Roxy (she's corrupted Brainy...YAY FUN BRAINY!!)
"That girls messing with my guy," She stated "well, I'll show her." She stated nastily and began forming a plan
"What are you two doing?" asked the teacher
"We're making something...we team up all the time and make different things, we're actually working on an android." Explained Roxy as she brought out the skeleton of the robot which made Brainy shudder and she laughed slightly at his reaction to it
"Well, let's hope it works." He smiled and left
"This class is so fun." Stated Roxy smiling
"I know, but we do have that entire lab at home." He stated smirking
"Yeah...but this is more fun." She stated and flicked water at him that she'd made appear
"Hey!" he exclaimed wiping it off his face as she laughed at him. About 20 minutes after, the bell rung. Roxy and Brainy had both finished the Android and it was safely kept in the science room for safe keepings until they could get it working properly
"You two seemed to be having fun." Stated Meg who walked up beside them
"Yep. Science it so fun if you know what you're doing." Roxy replied smiling
"So where did you go before?" she asked
"Gym roof, Brainy found me." She said and blushed at the memory.
"Listen, we have different lessons now, you have music while I have art. Your room is near the maths rooms it's full of keyboards and a piano, you should be able to find it, just tell the teacher that you're the new students...oh and unfortunately you have to put up with Joan. Well tootles." She waved smirking and walked off
"Let's go find that room." Stated Roxy and pulled him with her. Once they were settled in the class the teacher begin, ok class today its singing." He stated happily and some people groaned and some faces lit up happily Roxy just shrugged...she had a great voice; she didn't have to worry since in her world it was her custom to sing. He gave out the lyrics to the songs and began playing, to Roxy and Brainy these were ancient classics so they knew them a tiny bit, the first one however Roxy knew completely, it was a song from a very old movie that was about a luxury ship that sunk to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean (Titanic)
"Ok people we need singing in the front row." Stated the teacher and Roxy was in that row, so she decided to sing
"Every night in my dreams, I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you... Go on"
Brainy knew she could sing but not this well. People began joining with her
"Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you... Go on
Near far where ever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
Love can touch just one time
And last for a life time
And never let go until we're gone
Love was when I loved you
One true time I hold to
In my life we'll always
Go on
Near far where ever you are
I believe that the heart does go on
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart and
My heart will go on and on
You're here there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will
Go on
We'll stay forever this way
You are safe in my heart and
My heart will go on and on"
When she finished everyone clapped except a hate filled Joan as Roxy bowed and Brainy pulled her back down smirking
"That was amazing." He stated and she smiled
"Thanks." She said gratefully
"Class we have a few minutes left, I'll be back in a minute." He stated and walked out the room which gave Joan the perfect opportunity to initiate her plan; Roxy had got up again and was talking to a few people about her singing when Joan walked over to Brainy
"Hi Alex," She greeted
"Bye Joan." He stated unemotionally she timed it just right as Roxy turned round she saw something... something that made her blood boil and every radiator in the room blow up, there was Brainy and Joan...in Lip-lock. Everyone stared in shock as Roxy ran out of the room. Brainy pushed her off him
"What are you doing?" he asked in disgust
"You know you like me." She stated
"No. I know I don't, so if you don't mind I would like to go and find Roxy." He stated and got up then walked out. He noticed her necklace was on the floor so she'd be in her other form. The teacher came back in shocked to see the radiators no longer there but blown up and water everywhere
"Erm...what happened in here?" he asked. Brainy was walking around the school looking for her when he noticed there was water on the floor, so he followed it remembering in her Zorainian form she was always wet. It led to a wall and stopped
"I'm guessing that's where the flight kicked in." He stated sadly then took off himself to find her. She was situated on a roof not to far away upset. Unfortunately being upset changed her natural Zorainian look so she looked like a human and a Zorainian mixed up, in fact she looked a lot nicer in that form anyway so she didn't really care (picky on Deviant art when I can be bothered :D),
"What is wrong with me?" She stressed to herself
"You know you're missing class right?" asked a girls voice, Roxy turned round to see a girl with long Black hair and red eyes but a kind smile, she had a pair of cat ears and here red eyes had slits in them instead of circular pupils and she was wearing a pair of black jeans and a purple T-shirt
"Who are you?" asked Roxy
"My name's kat...long story short, I'm a ghost." She smiled and sat next to Roxy
"Oh right, what are you doin here?" Roxy asked
"I saw what happened, thought you might want someone to talk to." She smiled
"Thanks, wait...how did you see what happened?" she asked
"I died in that room; I stay there most of the time and talk to Meg when she's in there." She replied
"Oh...I don't even know what to do anymore." Stated Roxy with her head down
"Well for starters I'd say punch that guy stealing cow, but I guess that's out of the picture now...how about you go talk to him?" she asked
"I don't think so. I like the punching her better." She stated smiling
"I do too, but that wouldn't fit in you're hero features would it...it'd make you sound more of a villain." She smirked
"True." She agreed
"So I think you should talk to him." She stated
"Fine." Roxy agreed, Kat smirked and disappeared. Roxy turned to look out over the houses
"Ehem." Stated a voice behind her, she sighed and turned around, Brainy wasn't actually ready to see her in mixed up mode but he was glad he did
"What?" she asked
"I know that seemed bad, but I didn't do anything." He stated
"I know, I read her mind." She smiled
"Why did you run off?" he asked
"I didn't want to physically murder her." She stated and he chuckled and walked up next to her
"Why do you let it bother you?" he asked
"It just does. I've noticed you being annoyed when Jay flirts with me...why do you let it bother you?" she asked
"I don't know." He stated
"You know we're missing lessons right?" she asked
"Who needs them? We could probably teach the best scientists of this time a few things." He smirked
"Do you think Joan is going to give up?" she asked
"Probably not. This is why I want to ask you something." He stated
"And what would that be?" she asked
"If she's about to come up to me make me disappear?" he asked
"Done." She stated smiling at him
"Ok now we really have to get back to class." He said smirking
"I agree." She nodded and teleported back to the school with him as the bell rung for the 4th lesson. A few hours passed at they were all at Megs' house
"So what do you lot want to do, cause I'm bored." Stated Meg
"Normally we'd have something to do...but in this time we don't." Roxy commented
"How about I give you a tour of my town?" suggested Meg smiling
"Might as well." Said Roxy getting up off the floor. They walked down the stairs but was cut off by her dad
"Meg...who are these lot?" he asked
"Time travellers, they'll be staying here for a while, until Jay can fix the Time pod." She explained
"Oh right, well tea will be done soon so don't be long." He stated and they walked out
"So your dad knows about you then?" asked Brainy
"Naturally, he knows everything since he was there when it happened. We we're down the woods and my friend pulled us both into the lab to check something out...he was astonished at everything while I just kept my composure, when Jay asked me to plug something in... Unfortunately he never switched it off and it was turned on and it exploded with me in it...painful but worth it." She explained smirking
"So what is it with Joan anyway?" asked Brainy
"She believes she can get any guy that she wants... so far she's been successful, but with you, I think her lucky streak is about to be flushed. Since...well you already have an interest in someone don't you?" She asked him
"Who?" Roxy asked
"Never mind." She smirked and carried on walking
"I demand that you tell me." She fumed as Brainy kept silent
"Ooh Brainy has a crush." Stated Garth laughing
"I will shoot you." He threatened
"Now now boys." Intervened Chelsea "no need to start a war because Brainy has a crush."
"WILL SOMEONE TELL ME WHO HE HAS A CRUSH ON!?" yelled Roxy who wasgetting very annoyed over it
"Figure it out." Smirked Meg and they arrived at the park
"Ok, this is one of my many entrances to the lab." She said and they followed her in. They walked onto a field that had a few scorch marks on it
"Where did these come from?" asked Chelsea
"Practice, I have to practice so I come out here late at night to shoot at random things...I do it here cause it's the only open space." She explained then carried on walking towards the woods. She walked down wooden steps and they arrived on the same man-made path as when they arrived in that time
"What are we doin here again?" asked Roxy confused
"We are going to check on that time pod." Replied Meg as she carried on walking towards the waterfall. When they got there she whistled a strange tune and the waterfall split into two parts allowing access to a cave
"Whoa." Stated Roxy
"Eh, I made it myself...water and rocks are my specialities...and fire." She replied smirking
"How do we get in?" asked Bouncing boy
"Erm...flight rings perhaps, I have my own way but you guys are guna have to use the rings." She replied then dove into the water; she appeared a few seconds after inside the cave
"How did you do that?" asked Roxy
"There's an underwater entrance, I swam though it." She stated
"Roxy, you use that entrance." Stated Brainy
"Way ahead of ya." She said confidently then took of her necklace and morphed into her fish-like form but with complications...she didn't completely transform again.
"What the?" she asked confused
"Whoa, who knew she could look like that?" asked Garth shocked
"I did, I thought that was only when you were upset about something" said Brainy confused
"I thought that too, but hey who cares." She stated and dove into the water then appeared inside the cave next to Meg. The gang shrugged and flew inside then walked through a series of pathways and caves Roxy was talking to Meg so Garth walked up to Alex
"Hey Brainy, so who do you have a crush on?" he asked
"That information does not concern you." He replied
"Doesn't Roxy look amazing like that?" he asked
"Yeah," He stated "she looks beautiful."
"Ha, I knew it; it's Roxy that you have a crush on." He stated in triumph, Brainys' mind snapped back to reality
"What? No I don't" he stated quickly
"You can't hide it from me." He stated
"But I don't" he whined
"Ok guys, we're here." Stated Meg as a metal door opened revealing a laboratory
"It's about time." Mumbled Brainy who was getting annoyed with Garth. They walked in to see Jay working out the time pod
"How is it goin?" she asked and he jumped up shocked
"I wish you wouldn't do that Meg, you scared the life outta me." He stated scared
"Sorry, it's a habit." She stated laughing nervously. Meanwhile Brainy was talking to Roxy
"Roxy? About what happened before? On the roof." He started
"All is forgotten." She blushed
"Oh...ok then." He stated and she detected a hint of...disappointment
"What's wrong? She asked
"Nothing." He answered and walked off
"Was it something I said?" she asked to no-one in particular.
"We have to get back." Stated Meg
"Why?" Garth asked confused
"Tea will be done soon." She stated
"I don't eat." Stated Brainy
"Good for you, now come on." She stated and walked back out of the lab. Roxy decided she was going to find out what she said wrong. She walked up to him and tapped him on the shoulder
"Brainy?" she asked
"What?" he replied
"What's wrong?" she asked
"Nothing." He replied
"Why won't you just tell me, did I say or do something, what is wrong?" she asked again
"I said nothing." He stated again and stopped walking and turned to face her
"Well nothing seems like a whole lot of something." She stated confidently
"You guys comin?" asked Meg
"We'll catch up." Stated Roxy and she shrugged then carried on walking with the others "Brainy? I know something is wrong." She stated
"Nothing." He stated clearly
"Why are you acting like this?" she asked
"Because something has happened to my perspective on things...and I have no idea how to act about it." He stated
"And what's your new perspective...what's new on the Brainiac 5 channel?" She asked getting annoyed with him
"None of your business." He stated
"Fine, but don't come running to me next time you get a hole in you're chest." She stated and ran off then dove into the water, he looked in the direction she ran and sighed sadly
"I think I just blew it." He mumbled then flew out of the cave. When he got back to the house Meg was waiting for him
"Where have you been?" she asked
"Talking to Roxy." He answered "where is she anyway?" he asked
"She's peeved off, I don't suggest talking to her yet" stated Chelsea and he sighed again "it's your fault isn't it?" she asked knowingly
"Yeah, I said something that was kind of mean at the time and wasn't necessary." He stated
"You know what, I think a chat with him maybe what she needs, this time...NO MEAN THINGS!" yelled Meg and pushed him into the room.
