Antauri: Um… hello, everyone. Reza may not be here for the beginning portion of this chapter… she'll still write, but she can't really speak…
SPRX: She's crying. She's crying a lot.
Nova: But not sad tears! Like Antauri's tears after Chiro called him Dad.
Antauri: -blush- stop bring that up! I did not cry!
SPRX: -rolls eyes- Right, and Mandarin is actually a candy monster bent on giving us all candy.
Mandarin: If any of us was a candy monster, it'd be Otto.
Otto: -nomming on some chocolate- Huh?
Nova: well, not to thank those who gave Reza her tears! Thanks to EvilAntauri, pikurosonai00, and Jasper Dragonfly for their reviews.
SPRX: I thought there were four reviews.
Mandarin: IT'S ALIVE!
-sniffle- shut up, Mandarin… hi, guys… 8) I want to personally thank Skaternova for her review… Out of all the reviews I've gotten on any of my stories, no one's ever actually used my name… and it made me feel really loved that you did. Especially to wish me a happy Valentine's Day.
I'm not downing on anyone else! I love all my reviewers… this one just made me feel really special.
Antauri: Reza, don't start crying again! –hug-
SPRX: Hey, let's write some, okay? Please stop crying!
Psychic:
"So, Antauri, if you can read minds with your new body, does that make you psycho or something?" Otto asked.
"The word is psychic." Antauri corrected, "I'm psycho because I live here. But, I suppose, in a way it does."
Otto smiled, "So, you can guess who's going to alk in here next?"
Antauri closed his eyes and focused.
"Gibson and SPRX…"
Otto grinned, "Now all we do is wait to see if you're right!"
The blue and red monkeys appeared from their transport tubes, yelling insults at each other.
"Wow!" Otto grinned, "That's so cool, Antauri!"
"Thank you."
Sleek:
Oh, look, a pairing! Gibby and 'tauri! :D
Antauri had to pause when he felt a pair of eyes boring into the back of his head. He smirked and turned around.
"Enjoying your view, Hal?" he laughed.
"S-sorry." Gibson blushed, "You just… I mean…"
"What?" Antauri asked.
Gibson's blush worsened, "You look all sleek and wonderful in your new body…"
Antauri kissed Gibson's forehead, "You're so kind."
Gibson's thoughts trickled into Antauri's mind. Antauri paused and looked at the blue simian.
"I thought I was supposed to be the sexual one in this relationship.
Gibson's face suddenly looked exactly like SPRX's, "Oh, son of a garbslaf, you hear that?"
Passionate:
Hm, let's see. pairing warning, the word 'passionate' and it's written by Reza. What pairing can you guess?
SPRX sighed and scrolled through the long list of things he needed to get for Otto to repair the Super Robot from their last fight.
"I don't know what half of these things are!" He sighed, "Maybe Antauri can help me. He's smart and all that."
The red monkey smiled and walked to Antauri's room, knocking. He paused when he got no response and opened the door.
"Hey, Antauri?"
Silence.
"Hm… he's usually meditating around this time… where could he be?" SPRX groaned, "Ugh, that means I have to ask Gibson." SPRX groaned, "I hope I run into Antauri on my way there."
He had no such luck. He looked at the sign on Gibson's door, finding it completely blank. He knocked twice and walked in, "Hey, Brainstain, I need your hel-"
"Darn it, Antauri, I told you to change the sign!"
"I forgot! I believe it's understandable in my situation."
SPRX dropped the list Otto had given him, clawing at his eyes and running off, screaming.
Gibson sighed, "Great. I'm never going to hear the end of this."
Antauri paused, "Hm? Why not?"
"Because my rival just walked in on a passionate kiss between us, Antauri. Plus the fact that he left the door open and you… won't seem… to… get off…"
"But I don't want to. I want to kiss you again."
"Antauri, get off so I can at least change the sign and close the door."
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"If you let me up, I'll let you do anything you want." Gibson wrapped his arms around Antauri's neck.
"Anything?"
"Anything."
Antauri smirked and let Gibson up. The blue monkey smirked and stepped outside, as if to change the sign. The door slid shut and locked. Antauri jumped and ran over to the door.
"Hal, let me out!"
Gibson smiled, changing the sign to DO NOT DISTURB. He tossed the data chip he'd removed in the air and caught it with ease, "You have to catch me first, Antauri. Good luck without your phasing ability, too. You know how mad Otto will be if you break my door again."
"What do I have to do to be let out?" Antauri asked.
"I'll tell you once I help SPRX with whatever he needs. Have fun, Antauri."
Takeoff-
"Five… four… three… two… one! BLAST OFF!" Otto and SPRX yelled in unison, watching a clip scene from one of their newest games.
Gibson and Nova stared at the apir, sighing.
"You know, I understand that there are some educational points in video games… but I see nothing remotely intelligent in this game." Gibson groaned.
"And they get annoying really fast." Nova growled.
Customize:
"Hey, Otto, whatcha doin'?" Reza smiled.
"I'm hacking your DeviantArt." Otto grinned, "How come your page is so boring?"
"Because I'm poor, and poor people don't get premium memberships." She laughed, "The only way I could customize my page is if I got a premium membership."
"That sucks."
"I don't care, I still have friends. Hey, the dog is outside, so we're all downstairs messing around with the characters on my Xbox. Wanna join?"
"I wanna make one that looks like Antauri in a dress!"
Bounty Hunter:
Otto paused, "It's impossible."
"What's impossible?"
"I can't find a bright die to this." Otto told SPRX.
"Took you long enough." SPRX chuckled, shining his magnets.
Otto groaned and fell into his chair, "How long do you think it'll take for us to clear our names?"
"A while." Gibson answered, "There's not one, not two, bout four bounty hunters after us, we each have three million credits on our heads, and Chiro has six million. Plus, if they bring us in all together, he person will receive not the combined twenty-one million, but thirty-five million."
"How do you know all this?" SPRX asked.
"Because there are signs for us all over the galaxy, SPRX. We can't contact anyone for help, we can't leave this barren wasteland of a planet… we may be here a while."
Otto sighed, "I'm so bored. And hungry."
Nova walked in, "Otto, when are you not bored and hungry?"
"When I'm eating at the arcade." He smiled, "Got any news?"
"Antauri's meditating in his room, trying to contact someone to help us… but we're still stuck."
"Where's Chiro?" SPRX asked.
"Sleeping." Nova sank into her chair, "He's not taking any of this well."
Otto paused, "I found a bright side!"
Gibson looked at him, "How?"
"We finally have some alone time with each other. We can actually have fun and bond without having to worry about a Formless attack!" Otto grinned, "Why don't we play hide-and-seek?"
Monster:
"Mandarin?" Otto asked, "Are you okay?"
"I'm a monster." Mandarin hissed, "Look at me! I can't control half the things I do, I always end up hurting someone… I'm some kind of demon!"
"Mandy, you're not a monster."
Mandarin looked at Otto, "How's Gibson?'
Otto flinched, "He's… uh… he's been better." Otto tried to push the images of mandarin fighting Gibson out of his mind.
"This is all my fault… I wouldn't be surprised if it was my fault Skeleton king existed, too!"
"Mandarin, stop!" Otto yelled, "You're not a monster! You're our leader! You're the strongest monkey I've ever met!"
Mandarin stared up at Otto and stood slowly, "Otto…"
"If you were a monster, Gibson would be dead." Otto told him, "But he's not. He's alive and recovering."
Mandarin wrapped his arms around the green monkey, "Thank you."
Hobo:
"Hey, Chiro?" Nova tugged at his shirt, "What's wrong with him?"
He looked where Nova's eyes were and smiled.
"He's homeless, Nova."
"Do you want to give him something to eat?" Chiro asked.
Nova smiled, nodding. Chiro watched her run off, buying a hoverburger and rink and coming back with a huge smile. She walked over to the hobo, tapping his shoulder with her tail lightly. He looked up at her from where he sat.
"Oh… one of the Monkey Team." He smiled, "Hello."
She grinned and held out the food and drink.
He paused, "Oh, no. I couldn't.'
She shook her head and pushed the items into his hands. He smiled slightly and looked from the food back to her.
"Thank you."
She smiled and hugged him before running back to Chiro.
Rainbow:
Hey, a pairing with me! Me and Gibby! Aww…
"Isn't this pretty, Gibby?" Otto smiled, "I love rainbows. They're so magical!"
Gibson was about to protest, to tell Otto that rainbows weren't magic, just light reflecting off rainwater, but he saw the smile on the green simians face and had to smile back.
"It is very beautiful."
Quiz:
"Hey! This wasn't a request…" SPRX crossed his arms, "Not one that I read, anyways."
"That's because it's not!" Reza grinned, "Hi, everyone who actually reads these pathetic pieces of crap! Why are you still following me, I mean, really? I suck at this. I mean, I- haiy yai shlampf!" She squeaked as Antauri's ghost hand went through her stomach.
"Don't insult yourself. Obviously if you have enough reviewers to get you this far in the story, you're good."
She whimpered and rubbed her stomach, "Fine… but to my real reason for adding this word… I want everyone who reviews to send me in two of their favorite pairings… and maybe someone can tell me their opinion on the Mandarin/Otto stuff… of course, it'd be the old, robot monkey mandarin and not evil Mandarin…"
Mandarin grinned, "Because I want love, too!"
Nova laughed, "The pairings Reza gets will be used in a Valentine's Special, so hurry up and review before February 14th!"
SPRX smiled, "And don't be shy, either. Reza loves all her reviews and requests!"
"They make me feel special."
"Even an anonymous request would be credited at the top of the next chapter." Gibson smiled, "That's how much she loves you."
"And I have candy!" Reza grinned, "Come on, Otto, let's eat this and bug the mess out of everyone else!"
"OKAY!"
Psychic- Just a cute bit with Otto and Antauri. Couldn't really think of much.
Sleek- Naughty, naughty Gibby. Wonder what he thought… I love making up weird words for these guys to use as swear words. XD It's funny.
Passionate- Virtual cookie to whoever got it right about what pairing it was! XD Gibby's so evil to 'tauri!
Takeoff- Something bad is about to happen to Otto and SPRX's game…
Customize- Is it obvious that I do a 'Reza-and-Otto-Goof-off' fic when I have no ideas for the word?
Bounty Hunter- Request from EvilAntauri. Aw, Otto's just an adorable ball of sunshine and pixie dust, isn't he?
Monster- Request from Jasper Dragonfly. A cute Mandarin and Otto moment… I do kinda make them out to seem gay, don't I… huh…

Rainbow- Request from Jasper Dragonfly. Gibby was talking about Otto's smile, not the rainbow. 83
Quiz- Request from Reza! 8D
Antauri: Well, we said all we needed to in Quiz, so I guess this is all.

Mandarin: They can even be evil pairings.
Nova: But flames get you a punch in the face from me :D
