Isabel was talking to Z in the wreck room, "Ah! I can't wait!"
"For what?" Z asked.
"The ball. Damien asked to take me to it." Is said.
"That's great Is!" Z said.
"I know!" Isabel said, "Who are you going with?"
"Me? Well, Bridge asked me, but I don't know if I'm going yet." Z said.
"Awww you should totally go with him. He likes you, you know. And I have a feeling that you like him." Isabel said.
Z's cheeks reddened.
"AH HA! It's true!" Isabel yelled.
"Okay okay! Shut it. Not so loud." Z said, "Yes I do like Bridge. We've been friends for awhile now."
"Aw that's so sweet. Do you know who I think makes a good couple?"
"Who?"
Isabel leaned in toward Z, "I think Syd and Sky would make a good couple."
Z looked at Isabel, "Is, they are a couple."
"WHAT?" Isabel exclaimed.
The whole wreck room went quiet.
"Shhh! Don't say anything!" Z begged.
"Don't worry. I won't but wow, that was a shocker. Ahah." Isabel said, "Oh hey, look I gotta go. I'm supposed to help Kat with something. I'll talk to you later Z."
"Bye Is. Don't forget, we're going shopping today!" Z said.
"Kay, I won't." Isabel said before she left for Kat's lab.
XxX
When Is got to the lab she thought it was empty.
Hum… I wonder where she's at. Rowan's lying down by RIC so she must be here. "Hey Kat." Isabel said loudly.
Kat appeared from behind her.
"Hello Isabel." Kat said.
Isabel jumped. "GAWD KAT! Don't do that to me! You about gave me a heart attack."
"You're too young for one of those. Haha. But I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Kat said.
"Uh hun. Sure you didn't. but anyway, are you busy?" Isabel asked.
"Not really, I just have some paperwork I have to do, why?" Kat gave her a caring look.
"I was wondering if I could hang out in here with you for a little bit. I mean I love hanging with Z and everyone, but… They're loud." Isabel said.
"Sure Is. Just don't destroy anything, please. I just got my lab back." Kat said as she walked over to her computer and started to type.
Isabel sat down by Rowan and RIC, but RIC got up and walked away. Rowan laid her head on Isabel's lap.
"You're really good with animals." Kat told Isabel.
"Yea. I've always been good with animals." Isabel said as she pet Rowan, "I remember once when I was little, I went camping with my father. A bear came into our camping area, and I walked up to it. My dad yelled for me to get away, but I walked up and started petting it. The bear licked my face. Haha. My dad was so scared, until I told him that he wouldn't hurt me."
"Oh wow. Damien's like that. Only he gets along better with cats." Kat said.
"Really?"
"Yea. I found Damien wondering the streets at a young age and I took him in. He eventually started to call me 'mom'. One day I took him to the Zoo. Somehow the tigers managed to get out of their cage. The zookeepers told everyone to evacuate, but before Damien and I could, the tigers surrounded us. Before I could grab him, Damien walked up to one. It was an albino tiger. I was so scared. I thought I would lose him, but the tiger started to purr and licked Damien. He called her Kestral. So it was safe to say that Damien helped the zookeepers get the tigers back in their cages." Kat took a breath, "Damien still goes to visit Kestral. In fact, that's probably were he's at now."
"Oh wow." Isabel said, "I've been more of a dog person."
"Damien loves wolves, as you can tell." Kat said as she pointed to Rowan.
Isabel laughed.
The doors to Kat's lab opened and Cruger walked in.
"Hey Doggie." Kat said.
"Kat, Cadet Knight." Cruger said.
"Commander." Isabel said.
"What are you two doing in here?" Cruger asked.
"I'm working and she's sitting with Rowan." Kat said.
"Oh really? And exactly what are you working on?"
"Work."
"Uh hun. Fine then, I'll leave you two." Cruger turned around to leave.
Before he was out of the door, Syd came running in and collided with Cruger. They both landed on the floor.
"Cadet Drew!" Cruger yelled as he got up.
"Um. Sorry Commander." Syd apologized.
"Okay, don't let it happen again." Cruger got up and left.
Kat heard him mumble something, but she couldn't make it out.
"Syd where's the fire?" Isabel asked.
"You'll never guess who asked me to the ball!" Syd said.
"Who?" Isabel asked, even though she already knew the answer.
"Sky!" Syd shrieked.
"Congrad's Syd." Kat said, before returning back to her work.
Z came walking in next, "Um. What's up with DC? He looks pissed."
"I kinda sorta ran into him and knocked him over." Syd said.
"Oh. That could explain it." Z said.
"Haha yea."
Z clapped her hands together, "Alright, who's ready to do some shopping?"
"Me!" Syd said.
"Of course you are Syd." Isabel said as she got up.
"Have fun girls." Kat said.
"Kat, you're coming too." Z said.
"I can't, I have work to do." Kat replied.
Isabel walked over and got on her knees, "PLEASEEEEE Kat! Come shopping with us. Besides you need a dress for the ball too don't you?"
"Okay fine. Let me tell Cruger first." Kat said.
"Yey!" Syd yelled.
She logged out of her computer, "I'll meet you guys down in the garage. I'll stop by the Command Center and tell him."
"I'm coming with you because I'm going to let Damien know too." Isabel said.
"Okay." Z said.
The girls slit up.
XxX
Kat and Isabel walked into the Command Center, nobody was in there except for Cruger and Damien.
"How was the Zoo Damien?" Kat asked.
"Good, Kestral's had her baby. He's so cute." Damien said referring to his tiger friend.
"That's great to hear," Kat said, she turned to Doggie, "Doggie, the girls and I are going out for a little while, alright?" Kat said.
"Yea, go ahead Kat. You all deserve it." Cruger said.
"Thanks Doggie." Kat said. She walked over and gave him a hug, "We'll be back in a couple hours. Why don't you and the boys go out for some training or something?"
"I like that idea."
"I thought you would." Kat said.
"Kat! Can we go now!" Isabel whined.
"Yes Isabel." Kat said.
"Don't forget Rowan Mom." Damien said.
"I won't, she went with Z and Syd." Kat said.
"Have fun." Isabel said as she walked out of the Command Center with Kat.
Damien and Cruger exchanged looks.
"Which training course should we do?" Cruger asked.
"Well, how about we get Boom and the boys up here first. We'll need Sophie too. She'll have to watch over the Command Center while we're gone. Then, Cruger, I'm going to show you how to lose in football." Damien said with a smile.
"You're on." Cruger said.
