Hi! Welcome back ! I know most of you won't agree with this couple, (Maybe you will! I think their a-dor-ra-ble.) but I just had too :3 Review if you like them! Please? Virtual cookies if you do (Not from Chef, I swear!)

Dedicated to Guest for reviewing !

Here we go!

The sneakers stomped against the dead leaves. The crunching noise was her opponents spirits cracking as she sped ahead. She had to be first! A radioactive rat ran away as she passed it. She laughed a bit. Nobody could beat her! Not even that so-called "Cadet". Jerk. Always thinking he's better then her because she's a female. She frowned. Her legs were in pain- two laps around the island will do that- but she didn't care. Pain is your friend, pain means you've been working hard. Pain means someone out there is proud of you.

The trees sped by her as she turned right, towards the bay. She skidded to a stop. Arg! Her arms flailed as she steadied herself. 1The water looked so peaceful this morning. A spiked tail rose up in the distance and crashed down on the murky bay. She sat down, her mind else where. She hugged her knees, feeling a little homesick. It's been awhile since she's seen her family and her track team. She missed them. A lot.

She also thought about Cadet, AKA Brick. Pants wetter, jerk, and a total moron. He thinks he's so perfect…

He was cute, in a way-

Jo's eyes bolted open. WHAT?

What did she just think? She spat. It was just the stupid fumes from the lake. Jumbling her mind. She swiped her hand across the surface.

"I know I'm faster then you, but you don't have to take it out on the lake."

Jo jumped and turned around, "Arh! When did you get here!" Her eyes squinted. Just the person she wanted to see. NOT.

"I dunno, when did you get here?" He crossed his arms and helped her up.

Jo stood up. Hey, it looked like Sergeant Snowball had a growth spur in the night. He now had a couple inches on her. He also smelled like… something. Like… cologne? She coughed because of the fumes. Jo folded her arms and scowled. "It doesn't matter," she huffed, "I just ran two laps around the island! How many did you do, "

"Oh, only five." He said, obviously proud.

It looked like Cadet also grew an ego. He also said, "I guess I lapped you when you weren't looking."

"Really? Cus, last time I checked I lapped you yesterday."

"Really! I bet I could lap you backwards!"

"Oh yeah?" She sneered, inching closer to Brick's face.

"Yeah!" He replied, reciprocating.

"Yeah Magot? I'd like to see that."

"Yeah! Wanna go?"

"OH YEAH? JERK! I WOULD LOVE TO."

"YEAH, uh, ok!"

With each "yeah" they had moved a millimeter closer to each other, to further rub it in.

"RIGHT NOW!"

Brick replied with a quick smack on her lips.

Jo responded by standing there, stunned.

What is he… Did he… Is he…

After a second, he pulled away. He smirked at her surprised expression and said, "See you at the mess hall, Jo." He jogged away.

Jo smiled and giggled, completely out of character, "Hmm hmm, okay!" and fell down on the soft dirt.

Those damn fumes.

EDIT: Sorry, I figured they were too OOC and fixed it. Review with suggestions!
