Kiko woke up the next morning with a headache. She looked at her clock beside her her bed and noticed it was seven in the morning.
"Uhh, I knew I shouldn't drunk those forties," She said rubbing her temples. "Just two more hours."
Kiko laid back down on the bed. She woke back up hearing a knock on her door.
"Kiko, its time to get up!" Lexi said on the other side of the door.
"Give me two more hours." Kiko barely said, but with Lexi's super-hearing there's no need to yell.
"Ace wants you in the common room, now." Lexi said.
"Do I have to?"
"Yeah."
"Give me twenty minutes." Kiko said trying to get up.
"Alright." Lexi said before leaving.
-o-
"Alright, I'm here." Kiko said walking in the common room with a pair of sunglasses.
"Great… why do you have sunglasses?" Ace asked while Kiko sat down.
"Hangover." She candidly answered. "Why did you call me over? I don't see anyone else."
"Uh, your friend Daniel is here." Ace said looking at the other direction.
Kiko sighed and faced the direction Ace was looking at.
"Hey Kik." Daniel said waving his head.
"You woke me up for him." Kiko asked looking back at Ace.
Ace nodded before her said, "Good luck." He then left.
"Alright, what do you acquire?" Kiko asked Daniel.
"What I can't visit my friend after she attempted suicide."
"Daniel, that was weeks ago. It would've been different if it was a week after I got back, but now." Kiko said massaging her temples again.
"I was busy with my mission. Plus I didn't want to disturb you while you was recovering. I bet everyone was on your case when you came back."
"Tell me about it. They won't leave me alone for one second."
"Well I mostly came over to ask you, are you feeling better?" Daniel asked leaning on the couch.
"I feel better, yes." She said facing him a bit. Daniel started leaning towards her. Kiko did a small slap on his beak. "Da fuck are you doing?"
"Uhh, see ya Kik. I have to go and you know…" He then hurried back to the elevator.
Kiko sighed and shook her head. "That Daniel."
-o-
Kiko woke back up after three more hours of sleep. Her hangover was gone and she got back off the bed. When she walked out her room she went straight to the lab.
She walked in the lab to hear a, "Finally."
She kept walking until she saw Tech sitting on the bench.
"Why are you so effervescent?" Kiko asked.
"I finally finished the Time Celerity." He said with a triumph smile.
"Well why didn't you say so sooner? Crank it up." She said with a huge grin.
"Alright." He said getting back up.
He got out a remote and a medium size pad that can fit around four people. It was the color of chrome.
"Alright, just stand on the portal pad. I'll just set the the time that should go by." Tech said explaining how to use it.
"Oh really. I thought it was going to be complicated." She said.
Tech gave a annoyed look towards her, "How about five days?"
"Any day that passes this day sounds pretty good."
"Five it is then," Tech said putting it in. "Alright and with the press of this button…"
Before he could finish what he was saying Kiko pushed the button on the controller.
A few seconds later Kiko and Tech disappeared and appeared again. Kiko got off the pad and looked at the clock on the lab's wall.
It read straight up eleven. Then at the calendar, which had the same day.
"We went forward five minutes." Kiko said.
"What?! It should've worked." Tech said examining the remote.
"Well it didn't," Kiko said. "For a guy named Tech you would expect for him to know the answer to technology. Hence TECHnology.
"Shut up." He said sitting back down on the bench.
"Do you need any help Tech?" Kiko asked him.
"I can do it." He said grunting while getting a screw driver.
Kiko shrugged and walked back out the lab. When she walked back out she decided it was time to get some fresh air. Kiko walked to her room to get a backpack and put some cold water bottles in it and got some nature valley oats and honey granola bars. She was planning to go to the desert to take a hike in the nice hot sun.
When she walk out the room she went to the elevator to the door. When she was outside she flew high in the sky.
A few minutes later she was in the desert. She smelt the nice dry area she was in. She landed on the ground to the infertile dirt. She was about to walk until she noticed her shoes were untied. She went ahead and bended over to tie them back. When she stood back up she saw a figure not far from her on a peak. Unsure to see who it was she went ahead to check. She flew up to the somewhat the tallest peak around the area to see…
"Rev?"
Rev looked behind to see Kiko. "Hey - Kiko - what - are- you- doing - here?"
"I was about to walk around. What are you doing here?"
"I- like - to- come - here - because - its - calming." Rev said. "I-was-about-to-leave-wanting - to - do - something - else."
"Well I guess I'll leave you alone then." Kiko said.
"Hold on Kiko." Rev said stopping the canine mix. "I was wondering if it won't bother…"
"You wanna go on a hike with me?" Kiko asked.
"How did… did - you - read - my - mind?" He asked crossing his arms.
"I didn't have to. I can tell when you want do something when you talk slow." Kiko said.
"Oh." He said moving his hand over his neck.
"Come on." She said before flying back down.
-o-
The two been walking for twenty-five minutes. They were both quiet listening to nature. Or at least try to since they were in the desert.
"Alright I need to sit down for a awhile Rev." She told the roadrunner.
Kiko walked to a large smooth (with some lumps) rock. She sat down along with Rev. Kiko pulled out the water bottles out her backpack.
"Want one?" She asked Rev.
"Yeah,-thanks." He said smiling. "Ya know Kiko its actually fun to spend time with you."
"Me? Fun?" Kiko said, this was something she never thought she was.
"Yeah. Even though you think your not you kinda are. It's easier to get you out the lab than it is with Tech."
"That's because Tech believes he don't fit in with everyone else." Kiko answered.
Rev chuckled to that response before completely facing Kiko. Kiko did the same with Rev. The two stared at each other for few seconds in silence. Rev gulped before he started leaning towards Kiko. Kiko's eyes grew wide when she felt Rev's beak at her muzzle. The kiss lasted at exactly two seconds before Rev broke it. Rev was wide eyed on what he just done.
"Kiko I…" He tried to say bit his words couldn't come out. Kiko stood still looking at Rev with astonishment.
"I… have - to - go." He then got up and quickly ran away with his super speed.
"Rev wait…" But it was too late. He already left.
-o-
Rev quickly ran back to HQ and went to his room. Pacing around his room he was wondering why the hell he just done that. Kiko probably didn't even like him that way yet he had kissed the girl he could never been with in the beginning.
After a few seconds he realized he couldn't stay in the tower when Kiko could be looking for him. He had to go somewhere were she couldn't find him.
Before he could think anymore of the subject he heard his door knock.
"Rev? You in there." It was Rip.
Rev sighed in relief. He opened the door to see him.
"Yeah - Rip - is - there - anything - you- need." He said in a nervous smile.
"Pa said he need to speak to you about something."
"Is- it- good - or - bad?" Rev asked.
"Well he's in a good mood." Rip said.
"Great,- that's -I- needed - to - hear." He said before leaving out his room.
-o-
Rev knocked on the guest room before opening the door.
"You- needed - me - pa." Rev asked walking in.
"Yes - Rev. I- have - some - fantastic - news," Raphl said facing Rev. "The- house - is- now - fully - built - and - we - can - leave - this - place."
"That - is- great - pa." Rev said with a smile.
"We- can - leave - in- thirty -minutes - flat - or- less."
"Perfect." Rev said He then used his GPS to see where Kiko was. he saw saw her entering the tower. "Damn." He said under his breath.
"What - was - that?" Raphl asked poking his head out the suitcase.
"I- said - I- have - to- go." He said before leaving swiftly.
When Rev left out the room he had to move quickly. He headed towards the lab. He ran in there to see Tech working on a device sitting in his chair. Rev sped up to him.
"Hey - Tech - don't - tell -Kiko - I'm - here." Rev said hiding in a closet.
Tech looked towards the direction raising a eyebrow of suspension. He got up and walked towards the closet. He opened it up to see a startled looking roadrunner.
"Why are you hiding from Kiko?" He asked Rev.
"I- don't - want - to- talk - about - it." He said before he closed the door again.
"Fine then." He shrugged walking back to his area.
A few minutes later Kiko walked on the lab. She walked up to her cousin and asked, "Have you seen Rev?"
Tech didn't looked up. "He said he went somewhere downtown." He said said still not looking up.
"Liar." She said.
"What makes you think I'm lying?" He asked finally looking up.
"You look down and don't bother to face the person your talking to."
"Come on Kiko I'm not lying. Rev isn't here."
Kiko examined Tech before she turned around and left the lab. Tech sighed in relief knowing she left. A few seconds later Rev walked out the lab closet.
"Thanks - Tech - that - was - a - close - one." Rev said with a small smile.
Tech only looked up and said, "Rev, I'm going to give you some helpful advice for today."
"What's - that?" He asked curious.
"I don't know what's going on between you and my cousin, but what ever it is. Fix it."
Before Rev could say anything for a response the door opened.
"Gotcha." Kiko said pointing her finger.
"Shit." Rev said before running through the back.
"Rev! Get back here!" Kiko said running the direction he went.
When both of them left Tech shook his head, "Those two."
-o-
Kiko tried running after Rev, but with his super speed it was hard to tell where he went. Before she left out of Tech's lab before she caught Rev. She stood by the door trying to hear Rev's voice. Now she was back where she was. She had to ask him why he kissed her and more importantly why did he leave feeling embarrassed. If he would was embarrassed about it then he shouldn't done it or maybe…
Kiko was traced out of her mind when she saw Lexi and Ace watching TV.
"Have y'all seen Rev?" Kiko asked them.
"I think he just went by. I felt a fast breeze went by a minute ago." Lexi said.
Kiko sighed before taking off again.
Rev stopped in the common room. He had to think where to go fast before…
"Rev Runner!"
He turned around to see Kiko again. Rev looked at her a half a second before taking off again.
"Come on Rev!" Kiko said before running again.
Twenty minutes had passed since their game of 'tag' and Kiko was getting tired of this. She stopped after her run and had to think.
"Think Kiko think." She told herself. After twelve seconds of thinking… "Got it." She snapped her fingers together.
-o-
"I need everyone in the common room pronto." It was Ace's voice in the communicator.
/
Rev walked in the room to see Ace and no one else.
"Hey - Ace - where - is- everybody?" Rev asked curious.
Ace didn't say anything but pointed his finger in the dark part of the area in the common room. Rev looked behind him and saw Kiko walking closer.
"Shit." He said about to run off again, but was stopped by Ace's hand grabbing his tail from going anywhere.
"We need to talk Rev. And we need to talk NOW." Kiko said crossing her arms and walking closer to Rev.
She kept walking until she was a few inches from him. "I got him Ace."
"I'll leave you two then." He said letting Rev's tail and left.
"Alright Rev. Explain." Kiko said.
Rev sighed knowing he got caught. "Alright, Kiko I want to say that I don't like you that way and I shouldn't have kissed you."
Kiko didn't lose her expression, "So let me get this straight. You kissed me because of what was happening… you was in the mode."
Rev didn't know what to say. "Yeah." He finally answered.
"Well why didn't you tell me in the beginning? Instead of me chasing you for a whole thirty minutes couldn't you just told me." Kiko asked pretty mad about this.
"Uhhh, sorry." He said.
Kiko sighed to this. "Well at least you told me now." She then walked down the stairs.
"Hey Kiko." Rev said looking at the coyona.
Kiko looked back only turning half her body. "Yeah Rev." Kiko said surprising Rev with a small grin.
"You know my parents are leaving in a few, right?" Rev asked.
Kiko chuckled a little. "I do now." She said before leaving.
-o-
(Its not over folks)
Rev walked back into his room. He smiled in triumph. His parents have left and best yet; He was able to steal a kiss from his crush.
FINALLY! :) I'm finally done *dancing like crazy* I'm so happy I was able to finish. I was getting very sleepy. Now I can publish my other stories. Anyway I had a bad weekend.
