- three years later-
Her feelings for Honey Lemon held on strong, as strong and stubborn as her ego. The blonde would walk into the lab and she had to use everything inside of her hard trained mind to not melt to the ground, she always smelled like she just came straight from a field of flowers.
Her perfume was light, not too strong and yet as she walked by someone could smell it. It was better than the smell in her home gym, that Wasabi fussed over, and it even calmed her usual hot-headed attitude.
But she didn't know how to tell her best friend how she felt about her, love was an emotion completely new to her, something she hadn't worked with before. She had worked on multiple bikes before..going even back to some oldies and repairing them or updating them but love was something completely new.
Love wasn't a part of a machine such as her bike that she could put into a specific and or general place, screw/tie it in place and it would work almost or just perfectly with all it's other companions. No love was something that had to be tempered with, that had to be tested, that had to be broken at times, love was tricky and so was the romantic relationship that came with it.
But she was going to deal with it any other way, head on and with no regrets. She used that method with each bike test and almost every time she ended up with either a bruise or scratch, sometimes a few pretty bad cuts that had everyone around her worrying. But she got back up, found what was wrong and fixed it with careful precision and as much patience as she could afford to give.
So on a saturday evening she found a flyer with the words 'Carnival' on it. Honey Lemon was always begging her to go to one of them, she had a slight fear of clowns, tight spaces and heights...ok fine she hated them with a great passion but she figured a night ride on the ferris wheel just as the fireworks go off wouldn't be that bad.
She pulled the flyer off of the wall, taking the tickets with it, and walked to the nerd lab. The lady behind the desk was about to call after her before remembering that she hated her job and didn't give a fuck if some kid just stole a piece of paper.
Entering the lab she found Honey rocking out in her station, she was listening to some sort of pop song while messing with a few chemicals as usual. Knowing it would be pointless to try to talk to her with her headset in Gogo simply pulled on Honey's sleeve to get her attention.
"Gogo! There you are! I've missed you, where have you been!?"
Honey talked loudly while pulling out her earbuds
"Was wondering if you wanted to go to the Carnival with me...?"
She already felt sick at the idea of having to look down while on the Ferris wheel.
"O.M.G! Yes! I've been waiting for you to ask for soooo long! When is it?"
The tall blonde hovered over her friend to read the paper
"I can do eight tonight~ who else is coming along?" of course...she wasn't being oblivious enough!
Gogo shrugged before ripping off a few tickets 'well I was figuring you and me could just go alone...together...' that's what she would have said if it wasn't for her mouth doing the complete opposite.
"Well I wanted to ask you first so maybe the guys would have to come along, you know because you've always wanted to go so they can't let you down..."
Suddenly doing this love thing 'head-on' was becoming pretty hard
"Oooooh I get it! That's cool, well you should go ask them, it's already 6 pm so they probably should head home around 7ish to get ready. Especially Fred...I think he should bathe at least for tonight..." she stared at her chemicals with a slight worried look.
"Maybe I should make him a type of cologne that smells nice but it also cleans his body...he doesn't bathe all that much..." Gogo left her to think while she went to talk to Wasabi.
Wasabi was busy with his plasma induced lasers as Gogo walked in
"Behind the line please!"
She found her foot to be a bit over
"and why behind the line?"
He groaned
"Because these lasers could kill you Gogo~" he gave her a small pretty please face.
She stepped back with a mock bow and grin.
"Anyway I wanted to know if you wanted to come to the Carnival with me and Honey..."
She sighed while picking up a wrench from his toolbox
"tch don't touch that without checking it out woman!" he carefully removed himself from his spot to scold her
"and sure, I will enjoy taking a day off."
She handed him the wrench with a dissatisfied look
"Personally I'd prefer if you guys stay here..."
She made herself comfortable in his chair
"and why is that my little Gogo?"
She shot him a glare "not little ya ass and because I wanted it to be a date between me and Honey."
"You know normally you wouldn't tell me this stuff..."
He crossed his arms
"Because if you guys come along I want you three to stay far away from us, this should be a date not a fucking five people thing...fucking tag along"
Wasabi thought to himself as he turned off his lasers
"It's at 8 right?"
Gogo nodded
"You got a map?" she handed him the flyer and he turned it around to check out the available rides and booths.
"How about this...nothing 'romantic' happens until about 11 when the fireworks go off, so we have about 4 hours to do random stuff!"
"The five of us can be in a small group until around 10, from there you have an hour to bring Honey Lemon on the most romantic date ever, you know the love tunnel, the house of mirrors, maybe some haunted thing or whatever so she can grab onto you and stuff."
Gogo thought about his plan and nodded
"That could work but I'd need you guys to stay around the Ferris wheel during that time to make sure the line isn't too long so we can get on...wanna do that whole romantic Ferris wheel firework thing."
Wasabi put his hands together and gave her a small smile
"How cute~ our Gogo is in love~"
In that moment Fred and Hiro entered Wasabi's station for help over a comic book feud
"Who is Gogo in love with?"
The four stared at each other
"No one! I'm in love with no one! Keep your voices down you idiots, what if Honey hears you!"
Hiro hopped up and down with a huge toothy smile on his face
"You love Honey!"
his voice went slightly high pitched in happiness while Fred stared shocked
"Dude you have the ability to feel love?"
Gogo grabbed a tennis ball and threw it at his face
"I'm capable of feelings you dumbass!"
Pushing the chair out from under her she jumped over Wasabi's desk and tackled Fred into the wall, the two 'tangoed' into the main area with fists flying. Anyone who didn't know the two would have thought they were about to get into a serious fight and would have ran out of the room for the principal, but everyone in the room knew the two did this often.
Honey hearing and practically feeling the fighting going on entered the scene and pulled Gogo off of Fred, neither of them were badly hurt but were dragged almost half way across the room from each other.
"What is going on?! What is wrong with you guys? I thought you said you'd stop fighting like that a long time ago!?" Honey kneeled to the floor and hugged Gogo.
Fred stared at her with small smile on his face as every limb on him was unharmed, the only thing that seemed to be damaged was his beanie. Gogo had made sure that in the tackle only she would be hurt, her lower arm (Ulna of right arm) had scraped against a metal pipe on the wall, her leg seemed to be slightly bruised on the tibia. (1)
"He's fine Honey and it was just a simple friendly tackle, see he even has a smile on his face"
Fred held up a thumbs up to the blonde and put his beanie back on
"Freddie...are you actually ok? Did she hurt you?"
He gave out a small chuckle
"Nah dudette I'm cool, none of the fistness hit" anyone else would have questioned his use of 'fistness'.
Honey looked down at Gogo and noticed the small scratch
"You're going to need a bandaid...I'll go get you one, you stay here ok?"
The four of them looked at the time, it was already 6:30 pm
"Hiro, Fred you two are coming with me, Wasabi and Honey to the Carnival ok?" Hiro looked confused as to whether that was an order or not.
"What if Aunt Cass says I can't come along?"
Gogo thought about it while wiping a bit of the blood off on her shorts
"Then we bring her along...I don't know then I guess you can stay home"
He gave a small pout in response, he hadn't been to a carnival in a long time.
She got up from the floor and dusted the dirt off of her clothes
"Don't be such a pouty baby, I'll go ask Aunt Cass for you, I know how much she loves me and trusts me."
I'm totally sorry for the lack of updates but next week is my LAST week of school so I have about 5 projects to do this week ( and I have 6 classes) so I'm like booked. Only reason this is up is because I already had it pre-typed, I just had to space some stuff out because someone else on a diff fanfic mentioned it was hard to see as to who was talking. Hope this new way of spacing shit helps you tell who is talking, hope you enjoy this new chapter, by about...Sunday (5/17/2015) I should have the next chapter up.
