Hi! This one's for Tardis10rox, Sta Fantasia & ecogirl1800. Thanks for the reviews! :) Enjoy!
Penny's POV
I think it's about time to wake up. But I don't wanna open my eyes just yet. I'm just soooo tired from all the running and the jumping and the life-saving activity that was going on yesterday. Well, I am also tired of being trapped half a mile beneath HQ with Talon, but to be honest, I'm also tired of Talon himself. Why did I ever even want to capture him in the first place? It doesn't mean anything else but having someone around, that will always be there to annoy you! And make a cute grin while doing it ... It's like I can still see it right in front of my eyes, even whe-
Wait, it IS right in front of my eyes, what the hell is going on!? What the heck happened to the pillow that I put in the middle!? Oh, never mind, it's under my head. What's that on my hip, we don't even have a blanket. What the ... !
"AAAAA!" I yell while quickly jumping off the bed. Talon blushes (and I mean it, you could literally grill bacon on his cheeks right now, which would be adorable, well, kinda, but that's not my point here, moving on ...), but I'm not sure this puts me in a better position, since I'm probably blushing twice as hard myself. Regardless of that, I look directly in his eyes. This whole situation is so awkward I just wanna go hide behind the teleport machine prototype in the corner, but I'm determined to get to the bottom of this, this, whatever this is.
Okay, I think we've been standing here blushing our cheeks off long enough. Time to speak up: "Sooo ... What the heck happened!?" He shakes his head and opens his mouth to say something, but remains silent. His eyes are jumping all over the place, probably looking for a good explanation. Ughh, who am I kidding, he's probably as clueless as I am. But not nearly as irritated. "Would you stop doing that and just look me in the eyes! You're really annoying me right now!" He looks at me (which possibly makes my cheeks go even red-er), opens his mouth again, but still words just don't seem to get out of it. He looks so adorable when he's speechless ... Snap out of it, Penny!
"Okay, will you please say something, because this is getting more awkward every time you open your mouth and than close it again."
"I ..."
And just when he's about to say something, everything starts shaking. The sudden earthquake starts tossing everything around the room, including us. Than something crashes into the room and everything goes pitch black. In a few moments the lights turn back on, revealing the crime scene. The whole underground lab is destroyed and there's a huge hole in the wall where the teleport machine prototype used to be. I look around and seek for Talon, but he doesn't seem to be anywhere in the room. I can only hear his voice ...
"Can't ... Breathe ..." I look down and realize I'm kinda, sorta, emmmm, sitting on him (huh, I thought the floor was a little soft). Well, this day just couldn't start out any weirder.
"Oh, ummm, sorry." I mumble and quickly jump on my feet. "Anyway, well, you were saying?"
"I, hahah ... Honestly have no idea ... Wait, what happened to this place?" Ha, quick change of subject. Whatever, it's better we focus on how to get out of here instead of ... Well, the other thing. Plus, that hole might just be the exit we were looking for. "No clue, but whatever creature, monster or robot did this, it must have came and left through that hole."
"Last one there is a rotten egg!" he yells like a five-year-old and starts running towards it.
"Right behind you!" I shout and sprint after him.
We race each other down the tunnel we found ourselves in, and than everything turns black again. There are some strange noises, a minor earthquake, weird forces pushing me from side to side, and when the brightness returns, Talon's gone. What just happened? I swear he was right in front of me a moment ago.
Talon' POV
What just happened? Where's Penny? I swear she was right behind me a moment ago. Things just keep getting freakier today. Man, there must be like a gazillion tunnels here, how am I supposed to find her? Wait, why would I even look for her? I can get out of this mess on my own ... Hopefully. But first, now that I don't have the prettiest HQ agent in training constantly breathing down my neck (or sitting on me, my chest still hurts), I have some rocket shoe fixing to do.
