Mmmm Jet's getting feisty. Stop shoving Lilly places, that's not being a good boyfriend.

Lilly watched from the ground as Jet ran back to the building that the Protobot was torturing penguins in. She eventually caught up to him.

"Jet, think about what you're doing."

"I have to save her! She's just a little girl..."

"I know that, but this isn't a game. The Protobot is killing people and-"

"And that's why I have to save her!" He shouted cutting her off. "I promised."

"I KNOW you did you've told me several times, but you have to think this through."

"Can we go now?!" Jet snapped.

"Yes." They walked inside the building. Bleeding penguins lay on the floor, some of them still crawling on the ground trying to escape. Some wood laying around was on fire and some penguins had blackened clothes and burn marks all over them. Puddles of blood dotted the ground and a few penguins in the corner were throwing up. The Protobot spotted them and scanned Jet.

"Survivor! Survivor!" He beeped. It reached for him, but he jumped onto it and ran up it. He used the wrench from his spy phone to try to undo a screw on his head.

"Jet be careful!" Lilly yelled. The Protobot grabbed him and slammed him into the wall behind Lilly. He shouted in pain and clenched his side. The stood up as the robot turned away and he walked over to Lilly.

"Where's Melissa?" Jet said keeping his flipper on his side.

"I don't know." Lilly answered. Suddenly they heard a blood curdling scream.

"That sounded like Melissa!" He said and ran around the overhang to where the robot was dragging Lilly behind him. He stopped in his tracks and Lilly crashed into him, but didn't knock him over. He looked at the hands of the robot and his eyes behind his glasses seemed to show how much pain he felt inside. He took them off and tucked them into his pocket. In the Probobot's grasp was Melissa, well Melissa's body. There was a deep cut running from her neck to her hip. She was a lighter pink than normal and her hair was half burned and half caked with blood. The red liquid was dripping from the cut and the Protobot threw her into the flames below.

"NOOO!" Jet screamed leaning over the edge of the balcony.

"No more victims. Must retrieve victims." The robot beeped and flew off. The fire went out from the gust of wind from the Probobot flying away. The two ran down the stairs and over to where Jet's sister landed, but there was nothing left but a bloody butterfly necklace that she wore to match her t-shirt. The back of it was engraved Melissa G. Addams.

"This is all I have left of her. She's gone." He mumbled. "It's over, she's gone." He said crying and kneeling down on the ground. Lilly came up behind him and slowly rubbed his back with one hand and held his in the other. He cried harder and buried his face in the crease of her neck. She wrapped her arms around him and squeezed him. She put her flipper on the back of his head and kissed him on cheek and neck.

"I'm sorry honey." She whispered.

"I was so close." He sobbed while trying to ignore the pain shooting through his side. "I failed. I broke my promise."

"Guy, you didn't fail and you didn't break your promise now stop telling yourself that." She said looking into his pained eyes. "You gave it all you could and that was good enough. Nobody could have stopped it."

"What would I do without you?" He said hugging her again. "I'd be a complete mess. You always know what to say." He kissed her cheek and recoiled when pain shot through his side and up through his neck.

"We have to get you back to the HQ to get you checked out. You'll probably need to get a shot for lock jaw led what you cut yourself on was rusty."

He nodded and kept his eyes closed.

Later at the HQ Jet was lying down in the penguin infirmary. He was giving medicine to make him fall asleep. The doctor would have to give him a shot like Lilly though and use a tool to scrape metal flecks out of his side.

"Hi. This your friend." The doctoa said gesturing to Jet when he walked into the room.

"Yeah. How's he doin'?" She asked.

"Not so good." He said shaking his head. "He lost about two pints of blood, anymore and he could be dead. He's one lucky guy."

"Yeah. When will he wake up?"

"Any minute now. I gave him that stuff about an hour ago." Lilly walked over to his bed and took his flipper in hers. A few minutes later his eyes driftes open.

"Hi honey." She said cheerfully.

"What happened?" He asked.

"You cut yourself on a piece of metal. You lost alot of blood."

"Oh." He said closing his eyes.

"I'll leave you two alone." The doctor said leaving the room. Lilly leaned over Jet. He opened his eyes and looked into hers. He could feel his heart beating while he slightly bit his lip.

"You were really brave honey." She said smirking.

"But I-"

"Shhh." She covered his mouth with her flipper. She kissed him and he wrapped his arms around her, one on her lower back and one around her neck. They pulled off and he chuckled. "Don't think about it." She said. "It's over. You tried your best."

"You're so encouraging Lil'. I love you." He said and pulled her in again. "When I get out of here will you come home with me?" He asked hoping Lilly wouldn't realize why he wanted her there.

"Sure honey." She said kissing him below his eyes where his glasses should fall. She didn't agree because she wanted to get in bed with him, but because she DID know why he wanted her with him. (And to those who have dirty minds, first of all shame on you, second off all... OH GOSH THAT'S NOT WHY!)

:C such shame...
