Ace was storming his way outside, where Rev was and he stood up in front of him, looking very tense.
"Rev, what just happened? I want to know now and I want the truth!" Ace was close to his road runner friend and was pointing in his face.
"I-I-don't-know-what-you're-talking-about-Ace." Rev shifted nervously on what space he had left. Ace yelled at him even louder and drew closer to him… "Don't lie to me, doc. Somethin's goin'on here and I don't like it, okay?! I saw everyting'; I saw you and Lexi ki…" Ace was cut off, "please- don't –say- the- "k"- word," Rev was embarrassed and hid himself. He actually grew more afraid of Ace and didn't know what to say. Ace just left the back yard. "And by the way, Rev; I take back that apology. Our boss is not only a backstabber, but so are you."
Back at HQ, Tech was walking in the hall, past the bedroom doors and heard sobbing coming from one of them. Tech had a weird expression on his face, so he decided to check it out. He followed the sound and opened the right door, to see Rev; who had his knees huddled up to his chest, one hand over his feet and the other, touching the cover. Tech came closer to his best friend and wondered what was up. He sat on the bed and touched Rev on the shoulder. Rev looked up at his coyote friend, with a very sad face and his emerald eyes; filled with tears. Tech was shocked by this and didn't like to see his friend cry… "Rev, what's wrong? What happened?" Rev just turned away and let tear drops, fall to the ground. Tech grabbed Rev's head and made it look in his direction, he gave his friend a tissue and he blew his nose. "I-I-I… like Lexi," Tech gasped and gave his friend a hug, "Rev, that is nothing to be ashamed of. You are entitled to like anybody you want. If you really like Lexi, then you should let her know. Even though, it might feel embarrassing at first; you shouldn't let that stop you from doing something that you feel that is right, because I know how you feel and I know that what happened today had something to do with it, right?" Rev nodded to his friend in shame. "Because, I knew something was up when I saw… the surprise," Tech wiggled his fingers up and down, to make quotations. He sat next to his teared up friend and put his hand on his shoulder. "Listen, we all go through things like this, it's natural. "We all have someone in our lives that we like, even more than one someone that we like." Rev knew that Tech was right, it's natural to like anybody and it could make anybody feel different. "I-know-Tech. It's-just-so-hard-and-it-could-be-painful-soemtimes." "Listen, Rev; we all get hurt and we all feel pretty lousy and that is what relationships are about. We must learn to handle whatever happens and we shouldn't be afraid of something that is normal, but just remember; you're my best friend and I'll always be here for you. So, don't worry about how to approach Lexi. This is your first time of experiencing this and you will only get better at it, as you get to met more special people in your life. I know this because I've had many special people in my life that I've had romantic feelings for. They were actually some classmates from Acme Tech and let's just say that things didn't work out with the relationships I had with them, but sometimes… well… don't tell anybody, but sometimes I still see them every so often … and no, Mastermind was not one of them." Rev began to giggle and smiled at his friend, he has never recovered from something so painful, that quickly. He smiled at the genius and felt much better. Though, Tech wanted more input on this, "so, why so down?" Rev looked at the floor that was stained with tears and then looked at Tech. "Well-it-was-actually-Ace-that-made-me-feel-bad-about-liking-her-see-I-have-a-feeling-that-he-likes-her-too-and-I-was-afraid-to-tell-him," Tech was shocked. He grew angry about Ace being mean to his best friend, "What? I thought he apologized to us and I thought we promised to never fight again. But, obviously, he lied to us about that!" Tech yelled and stood up, Rev was just shocked. He has never seen Tech this angry, before, his eyes widened by this and Tech turned back to him. "Did he say anything else to you?" "Yes, he-said-that-he-took-back-my-apology-and-he-said-that-I-was-the-one-who-lied-to-him-but-really-I-was-just-afraid," Rev answered. Tech turned back to his friend, "You do what you feel is right, Rev. Don't be afraid about what Ace tells you because I'll take care of it"and with that, Tech stormed out of Rev's room and headed towards the kitchen.
