After they stacked the tires, Noah and Elise took a break on top of a large pile of cars. They sat on the roof of the top car and looked over the junkyard. Noah laid down on the roof, his hands tucked beneath his head as he looked up at Elise who sat with her legs over the side of the car, her ankles crossed and hands in her lap. Noah's eyes passed over her once stopping at her face. She looked happy to be here but he could tell that she was not happy about abandoning her work. Noah knew he shouldn't have pulled her in like he did but he just didn't want to let her go then, and he still doesn't. He has absolutely no clue on what was so different about Elise. Sure he's had a few ex-girlfriends, 5 in total, but never once had he felt this way about a girl before. He just always wants to be with her. If he's away from her he starts to feel anxiety like a puppy whose owners had just left the house. She just looked so regal and mature. Not like the other girls who only thought about their looks, or image, or reputation or sex, especially sex. Like really. Noah thought. All 5 of them just wanted to rush into it and have sex... He dismissed the rest of his thoughts and continued to look at the girl before him. Damn… He's so hooked. Noah smiled softly at her even though she wasn't paying much attention to him. "When was the last time you sung?"

Her body jerked softly and she turned at the waist to look at him, shock on her face. "Excuse me?"

His smile grew slowly. "You heard me. When was the last time you sung? I remember that you said you sing as a hobby." She shook her head, a blush coming up. She turned her face away to hide it but Noah all ready caught wind of it. Noah couldn't help the grin that quickly grew on his face. "Well?"

"I-I… uh… I haven't sung in months." She answered in a quiet voice, her face still turned away.

"Well... Sing."

"What?" Her face swung over and starred at him. "Oh no. No, no, no. I'm not singing."

He chuckled and pushed his torso upwards and held himself up with his elbows. "Yes you will."

She shook her head and sighed. "I'm not going to…" To be frank she wanted to sing. She loves to sing, but the song in her head will not make this awkwardly silent moment any better. Damn the love song in her head. The car's roof groaned as Noah lifted him back up to a sitting position and etched him closer towards her. He swung his legs over the side and he placed his hands on his knees. She turned her head slightly to look at him. He smiled at her before shrugging and looking out towards the junkyard, his want for her to sing gone. Elise turned her head away now feeling really guilty of possibly making Noah sad. She ran a hand down her bangs and stared down at floor. Damn, she forgot on how high up she is. All equines have a fear of heights and even though she may be just an Evo who can change into a centaur, heights are still a big no-no. Why'd she come up here anyway? Because Noah wanted to. She sighed again. She then numbly started to hum the tune of the song in her head. Noah, when he heard her hum, looked at her. Elise closed her eyes and started to sing very softly.

"Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don't care?"

Noah smiled at her wonderful singing voice. Elise then sung the next verse a bit louder, her eyes still closed.

"It's only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?"

A small pause before she continued again.

"Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you're not alone
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?"

She then opened her eyes and looked up towards the sky, her voice strong, loud and powerful.

"It's only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la…

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar…"

She forgot all about Noah and when she remembered she caught the breath that quickly escaped her before finishing off the song, her voice much quieter.

"Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight…"

The song ended and Elise expelled a sigh. It came out long, drawn out and almost romantically. Elise looked at Noah who smiled softly at her. She returned his smile and turned away, a warm blush coming onto her cheeks. Noh looked down at her hands that still sat in her lap. He reached down and took both hands in his. She looked down at their hands and then up at Noah's face, her blush intensifying. "You sing beautifully." He commented softly. Elise's heart did a skip as his green eyes looked into hers.

A shy giggle escaped her lips. "Thanks…" She continued looking at his face, her hands becoming warm but not sweaty. Their eyes were half closed and the two slowly started to lean in. Elise's heart was pounding in her chest Noah had to control his hard and heavy breathing.

"Hey you two!" Big Bob's voice broke out.

Elise squeaked and pulled her hands from Noah's. She then moved as far away from Noah she could, a large blush on her face. Noah cursed Big Bob as he looked over the side of the car. "Yeah? What do you want?" His voice slightly aggravated.

"I'm going to close up. You two need to get out!"

"All right!" Noah yelled back as he shook his head. He looked over to Elise but she wasn't there. He then went over and looked at the way the two used to get up. She was all ready halfway down. Noah sighed and cursed Big Bob again before quickly but carefully climbing down.

Elise's feet hit the ground and her heart was still pounding. She was just inches away from kissing Noah. Inches. She placed a hand over her heart. What was she doing? She has work to do. She can't get distracted by a boyfriend no matter what. Her heart tore slightly at the fact. She can't be alone with him again. She just can't. She closed her eyes to stop her eyes from watering. Damn. Not only can she not be with him she also ruined the good air around them. Now everything's going to be awkward. Noah jumped off the hood of a car and landed before Elise. Elise quickly dropped her hand from her heart and looked at Noah. She took a deep breath to control the pain in her heart. "I… um… I have to go." She turned and tried to run away when Noah's hand caught her wrist.

"Elise…" His voice pleaded with her. "Just stay with me for a little bit longer."

She can't look at him. She couldn't look at him. "I'm sorry Noah. I have a lot of work I have to do. Goodbye." Despite how late it is she couldn't think of any other excuse. She yanked her hand free, changed into a centaur and without looking back she ran as quickly as she could away.

-*- The next day, Rex and Bobo -*-

Rex threw the basketball and it swished through the net. "Ha-ha!" He yelled out. "Finally made a 3-pointer."

"Good job. Don't you feel accomplished?" Bobo replied sarcastically.

"Actually… I do." Rex grinned at his sidekick and friend before he walked over to the basketball.

The chimp chuckled and looked around the empty gym. "Seem weird."

Rex picked up the ball and started to walk back towards the 3-point spot. Rex too looked around. "It's been quiet." Rex considered the reason when it hit him. "Where's Noah?"

Bobo shrugged. "I have no clue. I also don't think Elise has come out of her room yet."

"Really?" Rex looked at the clock on the wall. "It's 5pm. She's usually out by now."

"She usually gets out in the morning." Bobo corrected.

Rex looked at Bobo. "Let's find Holiday to see if she has seen Elise."

"Right with you."

Rex dropped the ball and the two jogged out of the gym. They made their way through Providence until they finally found Holiday entering the zoo. "Holiday! Doc!" Rex yelled as the two ran towards her.

Holiday stopped before the door and stepped towards them. "Rex, Bobo, is anything wrong?"

"No. Maybe. Yes." Bobo said.

"What is it?" The doctor asked.

"Have you seen Elise?" Rex asked.

Holiday put a hand on her chin. "Hmm… You know in fact I haven't. Where could she be?"

"We have no clue. That's why I came to ask you." Rex answered. "Noah isn't even here either. He said he was coming over yesterday and lo and behold—"

"He's not here." Bobo finished.

Holiday scrunched her nose. "Maybe they had a fight."

"They?" Bobo inquired.

"Noah and Elise." Holiday replied.

Rex scratched the back of his head. "Maybe. We should find Elise and ask her what happened."

Holiday nodded. "I would do it myself but I'm going to see her right now."

Rex nodded in understanding. "All right. We'll talk to her. Come on Bobo." Rex turned and jogged down the halls.

"Bye doc." Bobo said before chasing after Rex. Holiday waved at the two before stepping inside the zoo. Rex reached Elise's door first. He knocked on it and waited. Bobo reached him then. "Did you knock yet?"

"Yeah. I did." Rex knocked again. "Elise? Are you in there? Is anything wrong?" Rex looked down at the chimp who shrugged. Rex knocked again. "Elise?" After a while Rex too shrugged. "Maybe she's not there."

At that moment the door slid open and there stood Elise with gloves on her hands and goggles on her head. "Sorry for not coming to the door quickly. I was working and I must have fallen asleep. Come in." She stood aside and the two boys walked in. The door shut behind them and Elise walked back towards her desk. She took a glass rod and mixed a solution that is in a glass test tube. "So is there anything you guys need?" She released the glass rod and turned her attention back towards the guys.

"Actually we're here for you." Bobo replied.

"For me?" Elise raised one eyebrow. "What for?"

Rex stepped closer towards her. "Is anything wrong? You haven't come out of your room today."

"I'm fine. As I said before I was working and then I fell asleep." She turned and started to tidy up her desk a little.

"Did you know that Noah isn't here? That I haven't heard anything from him?"

Her breathing wavered and her hand fumbled over a test tube. "No. I haven't talked to him since yesterday."

"Did something happen between you two?" Rex stood directly behind her. "You can tell us. We'll help you."

Her hair fell over her face. "Right now I just need you to get out so I can get back to work."

"But—"

"Get out!" She yelled. The two boys jumped back slightly before escaping out of her room. Once the door closed she fell into her chair and started to cry.

-*- The zoo -*-

Holiday

As I walked towards the containment unit that held by sister I was torn between her and Elise. I was equally worried about Elise as I was eager to see my sister. I reached the unit before I had even made up my mind. Shrugging off my worries for now I typed in the password and entered the unit. The door shut behind me and I stopped before the door and I slid the viewer open so I could see my sister. She slumped forward and her head jerked up slightly when the viewer opened. I exhaled deeply. How I miss my sister. I haven't been able to hug my sister in almost 7 years. I knew I was torturing myself by coming to visit her but I just can't help but to come. I also knew that there is nothing I could do for her. A cure could be found buy my sister will remain an Evo. She groaned slightly as she woke up. My heart gave a lurch. Every time my sister woke up before she would groan and fall onto the floor because she slept at the edge of the bed. She stumbled over her feet and looked up at me. A snarl rippled out of her mouth as she jumped towards the door. Chains held her back though. There is actually more chains on her than before the blackout about 2 years ago. More safety precautions they call it, I call it torturing my sister. But still… I'm glad that she's safe. I was so lost in my thoughts I didn't hear the door open and the steps behind me. It wasn't until Six spoke that I noticed he was here. "Holiday."

I jump slightly and look at him. "Ever heard of knocking?"

"Heard about it, don't do it."

"Obviously." I look back at my sister who had all ready gone back to her old position but this time she glared at us with her red eyes.

"Are you all right?" He asked me out of nowhere.

"Yeah." I brought a hand to my eyes and rubbed my dry eyes. I wanted to cry, I really wanted to. Sadly all my tears for my sister were already wept when she changed into an Evo. I felt his eyes on me and I started to feel uncomfortable. Then suddenly warning lights for an Evo attack rung out. My sister screeched and slammed one of her long arms into a wall.

Six brought a hand to his ear. "Agent Six here." He said into the ear piece. "Right. Will do." His hand dropped. "The Pack in on the move. They're actually in the city."

My eyes widen. "Damn." I curse as I quickly close the viewer. Without waiting for Six I run out of the unit. He comes out and I lock the door. Then once again I run but this time he runs beside me. "I'll be monitoring Rex's and Elise's nanites and keep you posted." He didn't reply but I saw him nod. We exited the zoo and we went our separate ways and I send a silent good luck to Six.

Review please.
