Nova smiled and held out her metallic hand to catch the falling white flakes. She had finally overcome her fear of snow thanks to a certain silver monkey. Antauri simply watched her thinking about how he had convinced her that snow wasn't all that bad. The Features on his face were the same smile he'd been wearing since they got there, a simple smile showing all the care in the world. The two monkeys were in love but they will not admit it to each other.

All the others in the robot had figured it out in no time flat, so now they were all trying to get Antauri to just tell Nova. But Antauri always shook his head, looked them in the eyes, and told them it will be a danger to the team. After talking with the guys for a while they had some how convinced him that it would be good for the team instead of extremely bad.

Sure there were some things that they would have to be more careful about but it would be worth it. So it happened, Antauri cracked.. ''I'll do it...'' he said while looking at them. They all grinned, high-fived, or put their arms around Antauri's neck. 'you would think I was getting married with all this excitement' He thought at the time. Now looking at the bundle of golden fur beside him he smiled 'I have to tell her or else they won't stop bothering me.' "Nova..." he began but looking at the shivering bundle beside him made him stop when an idea came to his head. 'get married..'

"I wonder what's taking them so long..." Sprx thought aloud while playing his latest video game. Chiro shrugged, "Who knows" with that all knowing smirk on his face "Maybe he had something important to do" He finished. The guys all smirked and nodded and went back to whatever they were doing. Jin-may glanced back and forth from one robot simian to the next. "Did I miss something?" she questioned while wrapping her arm around Chiro's right arm. Chiro grinned and looked at her then to the robot primates around him. "It's about Antauri and Nova"

Antauri's arms slowly snaked there way around her tiny frame and pulled her onto his lap. "Nova I have a question for you.." Rosie pink colored eyes turned towards the owner of the voice, fur colored in a crimson blush "y-Yes A-A-Antauri?" Antauri smiled 'Still in shock that she's in my lap.. It's nice though' His lips were graced with a bigger and gentler smile. "Nova I was wondering... If maybe sometime... we could." He stopped and said not another word.

The beautiful and gentle smile he once had upon his lips was gone as if wiped away for good. The arms around her body dropped to the ground lifelessly just as his body and head drooped towards the ground. Had not Nova been there he would of been out cold on the ground. "Antauriiiii" was all she got out before she joined Antauri in that almost lifeless sleep of unconsciousness. "Mission Complete." A scruffled and deep voice spat out.

To anyone in the surrounding area they would have though the sound to be a gargle and growling mixture, but to the person on the other end of the communicator it held in it's clawed hands, it was perfectly clear. "Excellent you know what to do from here." "Yes master.." The combination of black and silver eyes looked at both the monkeys with sadness and pain. "Sorry my friends.. but I must" The monster in front of the two monkeys sighed and took out their communication devices and dropped them in the spot where the two had just been laying. The monster shook his head slightly and carried the two monkeys away into the darkness of the night.

"12:29 AM'' That's what the clock said. Chiro didn't budge from his spot at the kitchen counter. His eyes remained stuck to the digital readout of the kitchen stoves clock. 'Something's wrong...' that same thought raced through each of the monkey team members heads... Well the ones that were awake anyway. Chiro glanced at the form of a sleeping girl and a curled up green monkey on the couch not to far away from his stool. ''Something's wrong" someone finally voiced strangely it had been from Otto who all thought asleep for the moment.

Chiro nodded at the statement and stood up. "Gibson get your tracker" A nod from the blue monkey was all that was needed before he disappeared behind a door only to return a few minutes later the wanted device in hand. "Sprx Otto stay here with Jin-may We'll be back soon" The two nodded and sat back down "One hour two tops kid" Chiro nodded and gave a half smile before the pack on his back lit up and shot him out of robots entrance the blue monkey not far behind him. "Good luck.." Sprx mumbled as his eyes watched them leave.

"Where was their last location?" "Sector C 10 paces North" The young protector nodded his eyes looking around for any signs of his spiritual advisor and his love. "Antauri?! Nova?!" "Chiro I'm picking up something" His eyes looked to the cobalt monkey who's fur looked like Antauri's when they first met. His eyes widened at a thought 'What if they never come back...' Fear showed it's self in his eye and heart. "ANTAURI!?!? NOVA!?!? WHERE ARE YOU?!?!"
