Me: This is the final chapter of Raised by Monkeys…

Chiro: Why do you sound so disappointed?

Antauri: Chiro this is the first story she ever posted. Probably relinquishing it means a lot to her.

Chiro: Oh.

Me: Yeah. I've been dreading the day. But I'm glad too. I can move on and start another story.

Chiro: Oh yeah?

Me: I'm going to write one of my own challenges. See how different our stories are based on the same challenge.

Chiro: Cool.

Antauri: This will be interesting.

Me: I don't own SRMTHFG!

Antauri and Chiro: Read and Review!

Chapter Twenty Three: The Girl

I smiled as I felt the wind hitting my face. Today was perfect for skateboarding. Antauri had warned me about knee and elbow pads but I didn't put them on. I had my helmet, so who cared if I scraped my knees or my elbows a little? At least I was protecting my brain!

I saw a flash of pink and gasped. There was a beautiful pink haired girl in a sea-foam green dress rollerblading down the street. She moved in rhythm with the ground and I thought she was an angel.

She looked back at me with grass green eyes and gasped. I thought I was ugly until I smacked straight into a light pole.

I clutched my face and waited for the pain to lessen. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and the girl was now holding my hand. Holding my hand. I thought this was just a beautiful dream. "Are you alright?" the girl asked.

"Have had worse hits," I said.

"Your Chiro?" she asked.

"Yes I am," I said. "And who are you?"

The girl giggled. "My name is Jin-May," she said. "I'm Mr. McLeod's daughter,"

"I'm Antauri's son," I said. Jin-May giggled and I blushed. "You want to go to the park sometime?" I asked.

"I'd love to," Jin-May said. "Saturday at three?"

I realized that I had the day off Saturday. "Perfect!" I said loudly. "See you then!"

"See you then," Jin-May said. She kissed me on the cheek. "Don't run into any more light poles," With that said she bladed away.

I sat there, motionless. I got kissed on a check by a girl. A girl that wasn't Nova. I got kissed by a girl!

I jumped up and skated home. "I GOT KISSED BY A GIRL!" I shouted. "I GOT KISSED BY A GIRL!"

I ran into something and looked down. I knew who I hit before I heard the voice. "Chiro?" Antauri asked. "What are you talking about?"

"I met a girl," I said with a small voice. "Her name's Jin-May and she kissed me on the cheek," I felt myself blushing and I looked up.

Antauri picked me up and straightened me up. He shook his head and said, "Nova isn't going to be happy,"

"Why's that?" I asked.

Antauri swooped me up, carrying me bridal style even though I was too big. "Because you're growing up," Antauri said. "Nova wanted you to stay small forever,"

"Why?" I asked.

"Because you're her son," Antauri said. "She doesn't want to lose you,"

"She won't lose me," I said.

Antauri sighed. "I'll explain later," he said. He put me down and I grabbed my skateboard. "You need to come home," Antauri said. "That's th…"

A woman screamed and we looked. Mandarin had somehow gained control of the Formless. I went into Hyperform and Antauri activated his Ghost Claws. "Let's bet some ugly monkey butt!" I yelled.

And that's just what we did.

Me: Don't worry. There will be a continuation of this story.

Chiro: I thought you were going to leave us on a cliffhanger.

Me: I didn't. I hope you all enjoyed that!
