Lady Hyena-chan:
So sorry for taking so long to update!. People keep telling me what's the point in writing this if Richie is "gay". But how I see it, he isn't. It was never told on static shock if he was (tho I have read the stuff). SO if you wish to tell me this over and over again go ahead but its fan fiction so hehehe I can write as I feel.
Anyways thanks for the reviews none the less and the story alerts, which I got more of then reviews or feed back. I don't own static shock or the characters juts my own Ocs. And if you know of any good static shock fics be sure to let me know! They help me move the story along!!~ By the way I realize that some things in the fic aren't called the right thing but you got to remember Aly doesn't know what there really called.~ ____________________________
"Don't worry I got Hassan for protection, remember that's why you let me get him," her mother was so against Aly getting a dog, but with the gangs in Dakota, Aly's father and her had worn her mother down. Of course her mother was thinking more along the line of a German Shepherd not a Tibetan Mastiff but Aly had convinced her that the Mastiff was a better choice, being bigger, more intimidating, and protective, not to mention far more expensive. Hassan came from a top breeder in Michigan, costing a good twelve hundred dollars, but it was well worth it really. They couldn't have asked for a greater dog.
Aly left her house glancing down at large fluff ball aka Hassan. He smiled up at her- tongue hanging- all his fur did make him warm fairly fast, but he always did this at the beginning of the walk, it's like saying which way. Aly smiled down at him before going on her way with Hassan walking perfectly at her side.
She really didn't know WHERE they were going, but then she never really did. Suddenly Hassan pulled on the leash, jerking it out of her hand. He ran off down an alleyway- a very dark alleyway- with Aly hot on his heels. She knew her mother wouldn't have liked that but Hassan was her only friend. And if something happened he'd protect her.
"Hassan heel!" she shouted trying to catch up, but the large dog easily out ran her. And just as suddenly as he ran off, he stopped. Aly instantly grabbed his leash looking at what got him to stop. There- just outside the alley way- she found Static and Gear fighting with some Bang Babies Aly wasn't too familiar with. A bird girl she thoughts name was Talon or some thing; it didn't really matter to her.
The bird girl screeched at Static hitting him dead on, knocking him off his flying disk thingy (she didn't know the official name of it). He hit the ground hard. Gear threw one of his ball things (again she didn't know what they were called) at her, it instantly rapped around her, sending her down to the pavement with a thump -she wasn't able to move anymore.
"Static?" Gear questioned, not seeing his friend bouncing back up (like he normally did). Aly looked on, seeing that Static was indeed hurt from the fall. Landing on his arm, it was most likely broken from a fall at that height. "Oh man Static we gotta get you t-" Gear stopped mid sentence as the large hairy dog approached him "Nice doggy" Gear said nervously watching the dog for any sign of aggression.
"Aly" the dog said. Gear's jaw nearly hit the ground. The dog just talked! Aly slowly made her way out of the shadows. "Heal him," the dog commanded. Aly nodded as she walked over to Static and Gear. Static finally began to come too, with moans and groans he held his arm in pain. Aly concentrated and once again the light purple glow came covering her hands as the bones started to heal, back into place.
"Wow," Static said flexing his arm once she was finished, "nice work," Aly blushed nodding. Hassan took her side, once again, sitting down panting. "Freaky dog you got there."
"You do know I can understand you, or are you naive like other humans," Hassan snapped, Static shot a glare at the over grown fluff ball.
"Hassan be nice" Aly spoke sternly, Hassan just looked up at her. "I'm terribly sorry for his rudeness; he doesn't like too many people." Gear helped Static to his feet. "Wow its just hitting me now but I've healed THE Static and THE Gear, protectors of Dakota, all in one day. Either you two are having an off day or you're not as great as I thought." Static gave her a dry look, which she only laughed nervously at. "Oh, my names Aly, Aly Johnson."
"Please ta meet ya" Gear said placing his hand on her shoulder, in a friendly way; but Hassan took it as an attack, launching at the young man. Gear dodged his teeth but fell on top Aly. Growling deeply Hassan prepared to launch another attack.
"Hassan calm down!" Aly shouted rubbing her head- where she had hit the ground. The dog stopped growling but his gaze never left the one in green. "Ahh Gear do you mind?" Aly looked up at Gear who had landing on her in an awkward way. He had her pinned down, sitting on her waist. He laughed nervously, getting off her. Static rolled his eyes helping Aly up. She tried to cover the blush that spread across her face, but found it unachievable. "This certainly has been a unique experience."
"Strange power you got there. How'd that happen?" Static asked sitting down on the ground, rubbing his once broken arm. Aly laughed nervously, scratching the back of her head.
"Well you see, I was kind of walking Hassan on the docs and well…I think you can figure it out…" she trailed off staring down at her fluff ball. Hassan didn't hold that happy look he so often did. His eyes were fixated on the boys in front of him. As if judging them.
"Aly we should leave, mother will be worried," Hassan said rising to his four paws. She didn't have much choice in the matter as Hassan drug her off.
"Sorry gotta go! It was nice meeting Dakota's saviors!" she shouted waving before she and Hassan vanished into the shadows of the alleyway they had come from. "Hassan you know mother wont be worried yet. We've been gone ten minutes."
"Your mother worries about you every second you're not with her." He informed her sternly. Aly chuckled nodding. She knew it but for her dog to tell her, it was amusing to say the least.
"Alright Hassan, we'll go home…" and they did just that. Aly went right to bed after preparing for the long day ahead of her tomorrow. Hassan slept at her feet on the bed taking up the remaining half of her twin sized bed.
_______________________________
"Aly, dear, it's time for you to wake up~" her mother sang from down stairs. Aly groaned turning around in her bed. Unfortunately for her she was laying on the outside thus she fell onto her stomach. Growling bitterly, she stood up, getting caught in her blankets.
"Gah!" Aly cried ripping the blankets off her back onto the bed (covering Hassan). "Obviously today isn't gonna be a good day! I might as well just skip it!" Hassan uncovered himself, sitting on the edge of her bed, panting. "Don't give me that look," she snapped glaring at the large dog. She knew he wouldn't let her stay home, there just wasn't any point fighting him.
She sighed heavily, defeated, before preparing for her long day at school. She knew it was going to be longer then normal which made her miss her father more and more. At least with him teaching her, she got a good grasp on what he was talking about where as in this new school there were so many kids the teachers seldom done one on one.
"Well Hassan, have a good day here," she stated once she was at the door. The large dog stood at the top of the stair case, staring down at her. With a tired sigh she shut the door behind her heading out (with her backpack on her back).
In little time-and no run in with any bang babies- Aly made it to her school with plenty of time to spare. She knew that she had to explain why she cut the end of her day short so she headed straight to the office (one of the few places she knew where was). The office lady welcomed her with a warm smile which made it easier for Aly to approach. She explained she wasn't feeling well and got off the hook with a simple warning not to do it again unless seen by the nurse, which she agreed to and apologized. She was now on her way to her first class.
"Hmmm, now where is that schedule," she murmured quietly to herself digging threw her backpack. She began to wonder if she even brought it after removing a good amount of the various things she was carrying-which included: two text books, a folder, a notebook, a sketchpad, and various pens and pencils. "Found you!....hmm… Oh that's right I had science first." She quickly put everything back just as she had it once prior to taking it out before heading to class.
"Hey, Aly! Over here!" someone shouted from across the room. She glanced around nervously looking for the source. No one seemed to be paying much attention to her-thankfully- expect the one who called her over, Virgil. Him and Richie sat eagerly in there seats, waiting for her to come over. Aly couldn't fight the creeping smile that spread across her face as she made it over to them.
"Hey," Aly greeted them softly, placing her backpack on the back of her seat before sitting down.
"Where were you yesterday at lunch? One second you were there and the next your gone," Richie asked. Aly laughed nervously nodding.
"Sorry I wasn't feeling too great so I kinda cut early. I didn't think anyone would notice since you both were busy with your girlfriends."
"Girlfriends?" Virgil and Richie shout in union.
"Yeah, that Daisy girl. It was obvious she's chummy with you both," Aly stated taking out her science text book, "She appeared more so towards you, Virgil, am I wrong? And the other one I don't know that was with her, she seemed to being eyeing Richie." The two boys looked at one another before they burst out laughing.
"They're just friends," Virgil laughed. Aly just stared blankly confused. Her thoughts had been wrong. "Sounds like you're a bit jealous" he nudged her. Aly's face turned bright red.
"No, no you have it all wrong!" she cried, "I've never seen how 'friends' interact so I assumed you were all closer by the way you acted…."
"Good analysis, just in the wrong direction," Richie said, joining the conversation, "If say, Virgil, here was Daisy boyfriend he would have greeted her with sayyy a hug not her shouting at him. WHICH you will see happen quite often." He snickered at the end, receiving a playful punch from his friend.
"I see…." Aly trailed off thinking. He did have a point. "I was wrong to assume things, I'm sorry."
"Sorry? Don't be, it's not your fault," Virgil laughed, patting her on the back making him wince slightly. Aly didn't know what to do so she laughed along with him.
"Are you alright?" she asked.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine just got a sore muscle is all," Virgil lied. Aly was going to question him farther but, right then, the teacher came in. He instructed everyone to take out there text books and turn to page 137 and then he began his lecture on the course. Aly didn't pay much attention to him; her father had taught her this stuff last year, so it was all just review to her.
The class seemed to drag on forever but it eventually came to an end. Aly left quickly going to her next class, Gym. She was thankful for one thing; it was an all girl's gym class. She would have been embarrassed farther in front of boys. Her physical skills were less then impressive.
Today's activity: soccer. Aly could kick a ball sure, but not using her hands was a challenge. With each pass made to her if the ball flew high enough she'd use her hands. Her team was less then amused.
After multiple attempts, and many missed kicks the class finally ended. The score? Her team 1 the other team 5. There down fall was of course Aly, the other team used her to there advantage. To say the least, Aly didn't make any friends in that class.
Next up, Art, which was a great break for Aly. A nice peaceful class hour would relax her some. She wondered in looking around. She didn't know any one in this class either-but then she only slightly knew Virgil and Richie.
"Hey! Aly! Over here!" she froze. Who was calling her over? Neither of the boys was in this class but it was obvious someone knew her name. Slowly she turned to the source. "Don't you remember? I met you yesterday."
