The next morning, Skipper groggily woke up to see..

Skipper's POV:

Opening my eyes by a narrow slit, I couldn't make much out of my surroundings since my vision and hearing was still lacking. Suddenly, I heard a humongous explosion which woke me up completely;I was in some sort of volcano lair..Dangling over a lava pit..Upsidedown! Then I noticed something, I wasn't dangling on my own, Marlene was here and seemed to be sleeping. "Pssst! Marlene!"I whispered to her harshly, trying my best not to let the anonymous kidnapper that we were awake or startle Marlene. She was obviously still asleep and I peered over my should to look at her, she sleeps like an angel...

SNORE! Zzzzz Zzzz Zzzzz...

...Who's swallowing a chainsaw. "Marlene!"I whisper again, lounder this time which startled her. Feeling her start to move and groan, I urgently shushed her then let her speak to me in that musical voice with a hint of Spanish and- What am I thinking?! Seriously; Lava, trapped, crisis and I still think about some stupid crush! ..But she IS beautiful and-
"Skipper! Did you hear me?"she questioned irritatedly as ligtly elbowed me to get my attention.
"Uh, no.."I replied in the form of a question since I wasn't sure if I did the right thing by telling the truth or if I should've lied. 'I mean, you know what women are like!'I thought to myself to receive a slap.
'You do know I can read your mind, right?'she asked me flatly as she raised an eyebrow at me.
'Oh, awe yeah! I forgot about that.. How ya doing?'I stalled innocently only to get half a death glare from Marlene.
'Touch the wall and see if it'll give you a vision on who captured us!'shouted Marlene at me in her head and gestured to the wall with her head, since her hands were tied up. I did so and in luck, I got the vision!

My vision

The mentors were seen making this imaginary land into the lair we were standing in, teleporting us here tied up and talking about training. "Skipper, when you read this you'll've found out! This is a training exercise, good luck."explained the mentor V wisely and bowed to me.

End Vision

3rd Person's POV:

"Oh, this is just some training excersise,"realised Skipper as he let out a sigh of relief and chuckled softly. "Hey, wasn't fire one of your powers?"questioned Skipper cheerfully as his eyes shown with hope. He remembered some of each other's power's from yesterday and smiled when he remembered Marlene's reaction, seeing that bright and beautiful smile made his day! Then he gave another smile at just thinking of Marlene in general and the memries he and Marlene shared; The first time he saw her gorgeous eyes in the hallway, the way she easily forgave him, how she got jealsous over Kitka, her singing voice and guitar skills...

"Oh yeah, great idea!"she praised angelically as her eyes gave out a soft golden glow literally and metaphorically; Literally because of the small romantic moment she created thus triggering her power sorce and metaphorically due to her happiness that she was friends with someone amazing as Skipper. Just as she was about to reach out to the lava, they both got teleported onto the rock they were training on yesterday,"Sorry to interupt the training,"pointed out Mentor V sincerely, "But Marlene can't unlock that power until a certain something happens..."

"Oh yeah, you guys need to k-"

"They should be able to figure it out by themselves, thank you very much!"exclaimed Mentor V stobbornly as she shifted her weight to one side and crossed her arms over her chest.

"Sorry..Dave!"replied Mentor S and floated away. "Oh, and training dismissed."she retorted and flashed them into their rooms.

Stumbling, Marlene, who was extremely tired, glanced at her phone and glanced at the vents before desiding what she was going to do.

Meanwhile,Skipper was already staring to sleep when he felt something cold whack off the ack of his head,"What the duece?!"he half yelled-half whispered alertedly. Turning around, he saw the vent door open and golden-brown eyes staring at him in the darkness of the tunnel; Squinting, he managed to see the figure better:Brown hair, beautiful face, light pink lips...Marlene!
"Marlene?"he wondered out loud in a more confused then angry way then you would expext.
"I, uh, I think I..lllllllike...to..have a sleepover with you? Yeah, I think I would like to have a sleepover with you!"lied Marlene hastily as she brought out a pink pillow and a white sleeping back with a picture of an otter on it. Looking up, Skipper saw a light blush spreading across her face as she clawed on to his bed and on to the higher bunk then peered down at him with a warm smile. "Ok, you stay here and I'll-"

"Oh..my god! If you guys aren't in a relationship, then why are you sleeping with each other?"came a voice from the vents and they both turned around to see Doris and the guys with shocked, smug, amused and embarest expressions (Kowalski-Shocked, Doris-Smug, Rico-Amused and Private-embarrest) on there faces.

"FYI, we are having a sleepover! Now, are you in or not?"inquired Marlene annoyed as she dangled from the upper bunk with her amrs crossedand an unamused expression stuck to her light pink face.

"Well of corse I'm in! I mean, where else am I suppose to put these fizzy drinks, sweets and horror movies?"exclsimed Doris as she reached into /Rico's backpack for her equiptment and drove onto Skipper's bed, squishing Skipper. Kowalski rolled his eyes at Doris but couldn't help but admire her pjamas; lightblue jumper with a picture of two dolphins making a heart, a short pair of white jean shorts and black fluffy boots. Her hair was in a bun and she had a silver dolphin bracelet with red gems on it for eyes. Noticing this, Doris winked at Kowalski and teased him with a Russian accent,"You like?"

"Never in a million years."he stated bluntly as he glared at her coldly though Marlene noticed a flicker of saddness in them. She turned to look at Doris' expression and found hurt and regret,'When did you becone this heartless monster, Kowalski?'thought Doris heartbrokenly, unaware that Marlene was reading her mind sypathetically. Just then, something pulled Marlene into the vent and she turned to see Skipper. "Marlene, I..think you a great friend."stated Skipper suddenly and continued. "I dreamed for someone who would veiw me as a friend, not just a soldier and I think my wish came true when I met you.." Marlene blushed at Skippers kind words and hugged him before she could stop herself. Then she kissed his cheek and went back to the other's, who didn't notice her absence due to the tesion in the air. Back in the vent, Skipper touched the cheek Marlene kissed and smiled to himself before going back to the others, who now where watching a horror movie.

Marlene gasps in fright and cuddles into Skippers chest, thus making him blush...

Tommrow at training, Skipper fought way better which surprised the coachs,"Skipper, did anything happen yesterday?"asked Mentor V curiously.

A dreamy expression swept across his face when he remembered the hug and kiss,"Nothing, nothing at all,"he lied as a loving sigh escaped his lips.

Sorry for the long wait, thank you for reviewing, please REVIEW! *collapse out of tiredness*
