(Chemicals React by Aly and AJ)
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm walkin' on broken glass
Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion
And you're movin' too fast
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react
You make me feel out of my element
Like I'm drifting out to the sea
Like the tides pullin' me in deeper
Makin' it harder to breathe
We cannot deny, how we feel inside
We cannot deny
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
The chemicals react
The chemicals react
Kaleidoscope of colors
Turning hopes on fire, sun is burning
Shining down on both of us
Don't let us lose it (don't let us lose it...)
Were you right, was I wrong
Were you weak, was I strong, yeah
Both of us broken
Caught in a moment
We lived and we loved
And we hurt and we jumped, yeah
We lived
We loved
We hurt
we jumped
We're right
We're wrong
We're weak
We're strong
We lived to love
But the planets all aligned
When you looked into my eyes
And just like that
Watch the chemicals react
And just like that
The chemicals react

The crowd cheered.
"Told ya!" Louden smirked.
"Shut up!" Maddi shoved him playfully. They had become friends over the couple of weeks between battels. They now did almost everything together. Louden had convinced her to sing at the show for the half time. She had reluctantly agreed. She glimpsed at the edge of the danger cage and there he was. He stared at her. Dr. Cube. She could tell he was either smirking or smiling under that box of his. She glared at him.
----------
There she was. The girl he hadn't gotten out of his head for the past month. He had finally come up with a plan. He was still in love with her, and he had not told her or even seen her since the last battel in Boston. He wanted to let her know. And he had found a way. Surprisingly, the guy he got help from... was Beav. The guy he despised more than Louden.
FLASH BACK
It was after the battel in Boston. Beav had approached
(Nya Note - LILA. Middle of sentence. Finish it please.)(Lila note - Sorry, I was called away. here we go. BTW, 10th chappie posted today. I can't believe we're already working on 11!)
him with a skeptical look. Usually, Dr. Cube would have shunned him or insulted him, but he was stressed and nervous, and wasn't in the mood to argue. He tried to step around the spectacled sidekick, but he got in his way. Dr. Cube wasn't in the mood for games, so he figured it was easier just to say something. "Out of the way." Dr. Cube grumbled.
"I know you like her." he said.
"What?"
"Oh, don't deny it. I'm smarter than I look, and I can tell."
"Okay Sherlock, even if I did like her, how would you know?"
"You never would put your arm around a minion, and if any minion would defy you, you'd hurt them. Also, according to your little minstrel minions you've given her things. Honors. She's only been there two weeks. I know these things."
"Fine. I like her. What do you care?"
"I can help."
"How could you help? No girls go for you!"
"True. But I listen to Louden all the time, and I've been rejected enough to know what girls don't wanna hear."
"That's a good point-"
"So...we have a deal?"
"Deal?"
"Yeah. I get Maddie to like you, and you don't make fun of me. Deal?"
"Fine. So, what do I do?"
"Tell her. Ask her out. Give her a rose. Stuff like that."
(Before the present battel)
"Beav! I need to talk to you."
"What?" he paused then said, "You haven't talked to her, have you? Well, time for drastic measures."
"What do you mean?"
"Do something bold. Anything."
Dr. Cube paused. Then he nodded and said, "I've got it. Just make sure she's out there during half-time." He had run off then.
END OF FLASH BACK
---------
Dr. Cube stepped up to the Danger Cage and stepped up to his former minion. "Well well well. What a nice performance. I liked that better than your little speech in Boston."
"What do want, Mas-Cube?"
"Still calling me Master? Funny. But anyway, I haven't been able to get you out of my head. And I thought and thought and couldn't come up with a way to get back at you. Then it came to me. Something that will make you respect me."
"Ha! There is nothing, I repeat, nothing you can do to make me respect scum like you." Maddi challenged.
"How 'bout this?" he quickly flipped up his mask and pressed his lips to hers. She seemed to freeze. It seems the whole club froze. Quickly, he pulled away from her and said, "See ya!" With that he ran off.
Beav shook the shock off and quickly Jingi joined him. First was the task of waking Louden up.
"One...Two...Thr-" Jingi started to count.
"Wait! Do we really wanna wake him up?" Beav asked.
Jingi gave him a look and slapped Louden. He jumped back then regained his composure.
"Th-thanks Jingi. What just happened?"
"To put it bluntly: Dr. Cube just kissed your sister." Beav piped up.
"Great." Louden quickly woke up his sister by yelling in her ear. "MADDIE!"
She jumped too, and blinked. "Please tell me what just happened, didn't just happen."
"What? That Dr. Cube just kissed you? Yeah, that happened." Beav shrugged. At that, Maddie fainted.
"This can't be good. Nope." Louden said looking at his unconscious sister.
----------
"How could this happen? He- I- But- She- I CAN'T EVEN FUCKING EXPLAIN IT!" Louden screamed. He then slumped down in a chair and put his head in his hands. They were back at Hero HQ, around the conference table, while Powa took care of Maddie upstairs. In a few minutes, they would talk to the commissioner about the matter.
"Calm down Louden. It's not the end of the world-" Beav started.
He glared up at them from his hands with the harshest look they had ever seen.
"Yes. It. IS! My fricking sister kissed that son-of-a-bitch Cube! It may not be the end of the world, but it's the end of mine! I oughta-"
Suddenly, the TV screen turned on and the silhouette of Louden's Uncle appeared. "Louden!" he roared.
Louden jumped and then shushed his Uncle, "SHHHHH!!! Maddie is sleeping!"
"I don't care! How could you let this happen?"
"I didn't! I had no idea that he liked her!"
"Are you saying no one knew about this?" Beav tried to sneak away.
"Beav?" Louden looked at his friend as if he had just plunged a knife in Maddie's heart.
"I-I-I-I'm sorry, Louden. This wasn't your business, and I knew you would say it was a bad idea and almost kill me for thinking they could be together and-and..."
"And what? You wanted to help the man who tries to single-handedly ruin my life? What were you thinking?" he yelled. He was about to kill Beav.
"I wanted to help him. No one has ever liked him besides Maddie. And I mean honestly cared about him." In looked like the two humans were about to have a fistfight.
Hey!" The commissioner yelled, "Listen! Maddie is 16, and we can't make her decisions for her. She may date him if she likes, and this could be nothing. He could like her, and she has no interest in her at all. We will wait."
"Fine!" Louden turned off the TV and walked into the next room. Maddie was sleeping, but her eyes were darting back and forth. REM Sleep. That means she dreaming. Wait, Maddi does talk in her sleep. I wonder...? He went over to her and, sure enough, Maddie was talking. Quietly, almost inaudible, but definitely talking. And she was repeating words over and over. Kaiju. Louden. Cube. And then words he didn't know. Sounded like words in other languages. She did know Spanish and Latin. He shook his head at kissed her on the forehead. He sighed. What now?
