CLANDESTINE

NOTE: As I don't own the Samurai Pizza Cats, theirs no need to sue me. I'm not making money from this, so there!

It was another early morning, the cats were up and ready for work but the only person who wasn't downstairs was Guido.

Guido blitz his room, drawers all over the place and his things making his room look like a junkyard. Guido was searching for something. "Oh God, where is it?" He then looks under his bed. "Damn, where is it? Where is it? It was in my damn pocket!"

Meanwhile in the kitchen, Polly was preparing some dough for the pizza's, she then put toppings on and placed them in the ovens, at this time Speedy entered.

"You got up early, huh?"

"Yeah..." said Polly.

"It would've have been nice to have a morning hug"

"Sorry..."

"Kitten, are you okay? You seem tense..." said Speedy, concerned in his voice.

"I'm fine, Speedy, I've...I've got a lot on my mind"

"Well, if you want to talk, I'm here okay...I'll always be here for you"

"Thank you, sweetheart. I just need time to think..."

"Okay." said Speedy, smiling at Polly. He goes to kiss her on the neck but then see's a dark shady colour on Polly's neck. "Polly...your neck...?"

Polly looks at Speedy and then feels her neck, a sharp pain went through her.

"What happened?" asked Speedy, a hint of worry on his face.

"I...uh" she then saw Guido come rushing down the stairs in a frantic state, he was looking all over the place for a certain item. "I...fell?"

"You fell?"

"Yeah, I fell...I fell over and bruised my neck, it happens"

"But...when did you do this? I mean, we both slept together and...I didn't noticed any brusing on you." said Speedy.

"I...I got up in the middle of the night, went to get a glass of water and...I just fell, look, it's no biggie, okay, I'm fine"

"You don't seem to be the clumsy type, are you sure you're okay? Is there something you're not telling me?"

Polly stops what she's doing and grabs Speedy's coller, pulling him to her lips, they kiss passionately and after a few seconds Polly brakes the kiss. "Is that enough evidence for ya?" she smiles slyly. Speedy was lost for words, an odd grin on his face, as he tries to speak, words came out strutting.

"Y-y-yeah...s-sure, Polly, that's...enough evidence for me..." Speedy said.

Meanwhile, Guido was in the storage room, nearly knocking everything down. "I couldn't have lost it, it was in my pocket...I had it yesterday!"

Just then Francine pops her head in. "There you are, come on, we're opening in ten minutes!"

"Francine, I've lost it, I've lost the locket!" said Guido, not knowing weither of not to be angry.

"You lost the locket?"

"Yeah..."

"I take it this means your gonna tell Polly, huh?"

"She doesn't know yet! I haven't told her" said Guido, watching Francine gasp. "She can't find it, she mustn't find it! It was a mistake! A big mistake!" Guido then punches a bag of flour with strength and brakes open the bag, the flour pouring everywhere but mostly on Guido, who didn't seem to care. "I'll...clean that up..." he said.

"Never mind that. You didn't tell Polly how you feel? Guido, you can't hold these feelings from her forever, it's not healthy" said Francine.

"What does it matter? Polly probably hates me now...especially what I did last night!"

"What happened last night?" asked Francine.

"I don't want to go into details, let's just say I deserve to be treated badly, all those bad things I said about her...I'm not worthy of being Speedy and Polly's friend. I hurt Polly...and...oh, just forget it! Where ever that locket is, I hope it's gone for good...Speedy and Polly love each other and I'm happy for them. I must've been crazy to think Polly would love me...my feelings were...loneliness. I wanted to be with someone who I thought loved me back. How stupid was I?!"

"What about Lucille...?"

"I never loved Lucille, that was fake. I'm shit at this sort of thing, Francine, I'm just a stud...maybe I'm destined to be on my own forever. I'm just confused right now...but I do know one thing and that's Speedy and Polly; they were made for each other..."

"Guido..."

"I'm sorry, Francine...I'll get this cleared up..." and with that Guido leaves the small room, getting a dustpan and brush. Francine was on her own, a worried face on her but with a thought of hope. "Guido...I wish I could tell you...but I can't...at least not now anyway".
