A/N: What can I say? I'm keeping my mouth shut (turns to editor, "See I told you I can keep it short!") So you all know: 1.I do NOT own the RRB and PPG! 2. Enjoy the story!

Chap. 16: Four - Pretended

I shooed everyone from Two and Five and I saw Five's face go red after I left, since I was last. I saw Seven waiting for me and I pretended I didn't even saw him. I pretended I was going gathering so I took my gathering bag (which I used against Seven) and left the hideout. I saw Three going to and later I saw Six fallowing her. I paled…if Six was cocky enough to fallow her then-

"Hi." I heard a deep voice say. I swallowed before I turned around and saw Seven.

"Hi!" I said. I looked around and saw strawberries and began picking them up.

"Can I help?" he asked. No, go away! I thought with panic.

"Sure," I grumbled.

"You don't sound like it." He accused but he bent down anyway. I sighed. I knew that Two and Three were keeping their distance since they were still wary of the guys and that made me wary as well. I did not want to end up like Bubbles (which was me) and cry over a boy that betrayed me.

"I am fine with you helping," I said in a monotone voice. "You are eating as well, is only fair." He chuckled a little darkly.

"Am I the bad guy now?" He said and I frowned.

"No."
"Then why are you so cold to me?"

"I'm not cold at you." I whispered and he shrugged.

"You are not the Four that was caring for her friend."

"Two is not my friend," I said a little defensively of the Code. "She is my leader and I am the Four that captured you."

"What about the Four that helped me from Two?" he challenged coming near me. I gulped he was right no matter how much I tried to keep the kindness of Bubbles Utonium I couldn't let go of her. I let out a cry. Seven looked at me confused as I began to cry.

"I'm not like Two," I sobbed. "I am weak like…like…" I stopped myself I couldn't say, Bubbles. Seven shook his head.

"You are right," he whispered and I stared at him. He thought me weak? "You are not like Two, and for me that's okay."

"For you but not for-"

"I don't care what others thought of me when I-I…" he stammered but then he smiled a bit. "When I was living as a worker, people thought I was slow and stupid but look where I am now."

"You mean dirty and in a forest?" I whispered confused and he chuckled.

"Nope, free and holding an angel." He said softly and I blushed as I now only realized that he was holding me as I was sobbing for no good reason.

"Do you really think that?"I asked. He smiled.

"Of course, your -ugh…"

"Friends?"

"Your friends might be that way but you are not. Don't try to be like them," he said. "It will never work because you are naturally caring and-"

"…and?"

"Well…I don't think you can pull it off, angel." He teased and I laughed. I looked at him and hugged him.

"Thanks Seven." I whispered and I saw his cute smile.
