Anyone seen Mockingjay part 1? Great movie! Is anyone out there an Olicity fan? Man, what's happening to them?
"Maizy!"
Maizy's head shot up and she jumped up so quickly that she hit her knee on the underside of her desk.
"Ouch!" She hissed, as a sharp pain throbbed for several seconds. She looked around the lab for whoever called her name.
"Maizy!" Maizy looked over her shoulder and saw Hiro.
"Hiro?" She said, confused. "What the heck are you doing here?"
Hiro was walking towards her and once he got in front of her, he stopped. He took a deep breath before looking directly at Maizy. "Alice." He said firmly.
Maizy was suprised he used her actual name, her eyes widening in shock.
Hiro continued, "Would you like to-
"Wake up!"
Maizy's head shot up again from her desk in the lab. This time, she didn't hit her knee. Maizy looked around the the lab frantically, panicking slightly, before realizing that it had all been a dream. She took a deep breath before standing up.
"Maizy!" A female voice called out roughly to her.
Maizy turned around to see GoGo standing impatiently, tapping her foot and chewing her bubble gum.
"What GoGo?" Maizy asked, still feeling a little out of it.
GoGo rolled her eyes. "It dinged." She said.
Maizy cocked her head to the side. In an incredulous voice, she asked, "The what?"
GoGo pointed towards the play oven. The timer on it was currently going "Ding!" every couple of seconds.
"A things good and holy!-" Maizy shouted before running towards the child oven. She grabbed a pair of oven mitts along the way and immediately opened the door as soon as she could. Trails of smoke exited the oven and Maizy kept muttering under her breath as she grabbed the smoking dish from inside and set it down on the table.
GoGo raised an eyebrow. "What," She asked, "Is that?"
Maizy blew the hair that had fallen out of her ponytail away from her eyes. "This is my experiment." She answered proudly.
Upon the dish that Maizy grabbed from the microwave there were very burnt black cookies.
"Why are you baking cookies in a toy oven?"
Maizy grinned. "I wanted to test how strong I can make a toy oven's heating system."
GoGo rolled her eyes. "Well, I've heard of worse ideas." She turned around and left without a goodbye.
Maizy frowned. "It's a great idea." She muttered to herself. Still scowling, she tried picking up a burnt cookie, only to drop it suddenly because of how hot it was.
"Maizy?"
Maizy turned around. "Hiro!" She greeted cheerfully. "What brings you down here?"
Hiro shrugged. "Well, I, was in the neighborhood and what's burning?" He changed the last of his sentence quickly, noticing the burning smell.
Maizy blushed a little. "Ah, it's, it's nothing! I just experimenting." She grabbed the pan of cookies and dumped it into a nearby trashcan, pan and all. "So," She began, moving over to Hiro. "Do you… need something?"
Hiro scratched the back of his head. "You ever built a robot?"
Maizy looked surprised. She thought for a moment and then answered. "Yeah. Why?" Her eyes narrowed. "I'm not going bot-fighting."
Hiro scoffed. "Please, I'm not going to take you to a bot fight."
Maizy crossed her arms. "Good." She said firmly. A moment later she asked, "Why not?"
"What?" Hiro asked confused.
"I mean…" Maizy un-crossed her arms and settled with her hands on her hips. "I could, like, handle, a bot-fight." A pause. "Not that I would be interested. But, I could, um yeah, handle it."
"Handle it?" Hiro repeated, smirking. "Thought you said it was stupid."
Maizy glanced to the side before looking back at Hiro. "Oh it is, completely. But stupid doesn't equal no fun."
Hiro laughed. "Not boring, then?"
She rolled her eyes. "Did I say boring?" She shrugged her shoulders. "Maybe I was just trying to make sure you weren't, well, arrested so soon after we met. You can't go see movies together if a person's in prison."
He snorted. "How did you know about the bot-fighting, by the way. There's no way you could have solved it that quickly."
Looking slightly affronted, Maizy defended herself. "Are you saying I'm not all that smart, Hiro? I'll have you know, I did get into this college."
"You're avoiding the question!" Hiro pointed out.
Maizy held up her hands, "Guilty. Tadashi mentioned it to Wasabi, I overheard them." She met Hiro's eyes. "He really loves you, you know. I've never seen someone so worried."
Hiro was silent for a moment before saying. "Anyway, I wasn't going to a bot-fight. I-I was just trying to make conversation." A silence followed his statement.
Trying to cover up the awkward silence, Maizy asked, fumbling over her words. "So, uh, w-what did you decide to do for your presentation?"
Hiro eagerly answered her question. "I've got this great idea."
Miazy listened, nodding every now and then as Hiro told her his idea for the exhibition.
Her jaw had dropped a little during his explanation. "That's…" She trailed off. "That's epic. That's awesome! That's-"
"Sick?" Hiro supplied.
Maizy nodded and chuckled. "Man, I'm kinda jealous. Makes my ideas look, well, tame in comparison."
Hiro looked curiously at Maizy's work station. "Speaking of that…" He rushed to go behind Maizy towards her work cabinet.
"Oi!" Maizy shrieked. "Don't go back there, that's my science stuff-" Too late, Hiro was already looking through the cabinet, moving glasses and tubes of suspicious looking liquids.
Maizy grabbed his wrist and pushed him back. She stood in front of her science supplies protectively. "Do you know how difficult it was to get all of these?" She said roughly. "No touching. Please." She added.
Hiro held his hands up in a surrendering manner. "Fine, fine." He told her. His attention was caught by something else. "What's that?" He asked, pointing towards the potted plant that was sitting underneath a window.
Maizy closed the doors of the cabinet with a huff and turned towards Hiro. Taking a deep breath, she answered, "That's a plant."
Hiro scowled at her, "Obviously." He replied with snark. "But what exactly is it?"
Maizy grinned. "Well," She began, sauntering over to the window. Hiro followed her. "This is my first hybrid."
The plant in question had dark green, slim stalks, and leaves that appeared to be stalks, but yielded no buds or flowers. The flowers, there were three of the, were purple, yellow and white. It had three petals in the outside ring and pointed upwards were three more in the inner ring of petals.
"It's a cross between a daffodil and an iris." Maizy explained proudly.
"It's nice." Hiro stated awkwardly.
"It's boring." Maizy mocked, reading in between the lines. She shrugged her shoulder. "Flowers, plants, biology. Sometimes its not all that interesting. But honestly, if you look a little deeper, it's pretty cool, I mean, this? This plant is just the first step. If I can create a hybrid between two flowers, it could be hybrid crops next. And then who knows? Maybe I'll create the first hybrid animal. I'm thinking, turtle-duck."
Hiro and Maizy laughed at the thought of a turtle-duck.
"You know," Hiro started, "I never got to figure out where you were running off to."
"Speaking of which." Maizy said, trailing off. When Hiro shot her a disbelieving look, she laughed loudly. "I'm joking, those 'meetings' don't start til next week. I won't be running off anytime soon."
Hiro stared at her. "Do I get a clue?" He asked.
Maizy, who had grown unusually quiet, answered with a faint smile, "Maybe you already got one."
Hiro furrowed his eyebrows, confused. "I did?"
She smirked. "Nope. Here's a hint. I really like this school."
Hiro frowned. "That doesn't make any sense! Is it a class?"
Maizy shook her head, smiling bigger now.
"...Is it tutoring sessions or something?"
Maizy punched Hiro's arm. "No!" She said angrily. "We've established this. I'm very smart."
Hiro rolled his eyes. "Not like that, I mean, you tutoring someone else."
"Ha! Like anyone would want a 15 year old tutoring them."
Hiro acknowledged this. "True… Do I get another hint?"
Maizy grinned. "Tell you what," She said slyly. "You go see another movie with me, I'll give you a hint."
Hiro paused for a moment. He really wanted to work more on his micro-bots, but…
"What movie?" He asked, albeit almost reluctantly.
Maizy smirked.
THE END!
Woo hoo! That's a bit longer than I've done in the you really like it! I liked this chapter the best so far, expect the beginning chapter, because that's my favorite.
Alright, I wrote a genderswap version chapter of them meeting, if anyone wants to read it… I think next chapter will be the plot again, unless otherwise stated.
A HUGE thank you to all the people who reviewed. Seriously. I might not response to all the reviews, (I'll try to do that) but it brightens my day when you review!
With that out of the way, it's time to say-
-GP2 OUT!
