I don't own Loonatics Unleashed
Loonaticslover13: Thank you for the review! The prologue was definitely about Quinn. Yes, she is enraged. We'll see who she's mad with soon enough...
Tech feet stayed glued to the ground as he stared at the area where Quinn's body once was. He couldn't comprehend where that sudden fog had come from. He was running to Quinn to help her, for the poor girl was tranquilized with that needle. He glared at the needle that was lying on the ground. That thing had almost killed her. He clenched his hands into fists and let out a growl.
"He's gonna blow! Take cover!" Andrea yelled as she leaped behind a lamppost and hid there. Her ears perked up when she heard the sound of a thump.
"OW!" Tech exclaimed as he grabbed his fist and rubbed it. He had punched a lamppost to unleash his inner anger but he wound up injuring his own hand.
"Aww Tech," Slam grumbled as he walked over to the lamppost and punched it down himself. The base of the lamppost broke off and it shattered to the ground.
"Mmm," Bridget whined as she gave Tech a bone-crushing hug.
Tech felt like his lungs were going to burst any second from the lack of oxygen. When Bridget released him, he panted for some air. When he finally felt like he was able to speak, he looked at each of his tasmanian-friends and smiled at them. "Thanks guys," he thanked them, feeling a little better. He would have felt much more better if Quinn was here with him, or if he knew where Quinn was.
Ace suddenly felt the heat of the sun disappearing. He looked up at the sky and watched the vibrant sun sinking behind some apartment buildings. "It's gettin' late," he said to the team.
"But we can't give up now," Lexi spoke up, "Fleur is still missing and poor Quinn is gone."
"As much as I want to look for my friends, its gonna get icy cold and I'm talkin' about havin' our cotton-tails frozen off," Andrea said to Lexi.
"Everyone except for Michelle and Rev that is," Miranda pointed out as if this was just a fun fact to Andrea.
However, Lexi didn't want to stop looking for them. One thing that she didn't like was seeing her friend sad. She felt that sadness didn't go well with his personality. She had known him as a mild-mannered, smart coyote but when she saw him sad and filled with rage, he looked like a completely different coyote. A sudden shiver ran up her spine as she hugged herself for some warmth.
"See?" Andrea said to Lexi, "that coolness is workin' its way up into our little bodies."
"Let's just hang out here until mornin'," Ace suggested.
The team walked back into the apartment building and into the room number where Michael had taken Fleur. The team stayed quiet for the most part, but Tech on the other hand let out a sad sigh as he sat down on a chair. Suddenly, he felt moisture escaping from his eyes. He put his hands on his face to masquerade the tears. He had never cried in front of his friends before nor did he want to, but as for now, he didn't care. He couldn't control his emotion anymore.
"Tech?" a familiar voice said his name. The coyote removed his hands from his face and saw Lexi Bunny kneeling in front of him. "Are you okay?" she asked as she put a comforting hand on his shoulder.
Tech only shook his head. How was he okay? His girlfriend had disappeared right in front of him.
"Tech?" Ace suddenly spoke up as he walked to his teammate, "you okay dere?"
"Do I look okay?" Tech snapped at Ace. He was surprised to hear his own voice like that. He had never spoke to Ace with such an attitude. He felt a heat of embarrassment rising up to his cheeks as he looked at his leader. "I am so sorry Ace," Tech suddenly apologized.
Ace on the other hand was neither offended or angry for Tech's voice. "Nah, I understand," he said as he put a comforting hand on Tech's shoulder.
"What-wrong-Tech?" Rev suddenly asked as he zipped over to the coyote. Suddenly, everyone gathered around Tech to make sure that he was feeling better. They said comforting words and Andrea used her funny dialect to make him smile, and Bridget and Slam both gave Tech another bone crushing hug. All these warm gestures and words made Tech feel better but he was still worried about Quinn. He knew that she was a strong girl but wasn't it natural for a boyfriend to be worried about his girlfriend? His opinion, absolutely.
"I'm-sure-that-she-is-fine," Michelle spoke up, "after-all-Quinn-gets-fierce-and-whoever-took-her-she'll-take-care-of-them."
"Like a squirrel in the highway," Andrea said.
Miranda made a face at Andrea's sentence. "That made no sense," she commented.
Andrea slowly turned around and glared at the female mallard. "No Miranda," she said in a soft and calm voice, "what you did makes no sense!" she snapped at her.
Michelle let out a soft sigh as the duck and that rabbit began to bicker back and forth. If Fleur was here, she would show them that this wasn't the time to argue. She suddenly looked at the group and saw that someone was missing. Pierre wasn't with them. There were only two things that came into Michelle's mind. Either he was up to no good or he was enjoying the snow outside. Michelle turned her back on the team and went to the door.
"Where-are-you-going?" Rev suddenly asked her.
Michelle put her hand on the doorknob and slightly turned her head to look at Rev. "Someone-needs-a-friend-but-I'll-be-back," she said to him.
"Wait!" Rev said as he ran to her, "I'll-come-with-you!"
"Alright," Michelle said as the two roadrunners ran out the door, down the stairs, and out of the apartment building. "There-he-is," Michelle said as she saw Pierre standing by the door.
"Wait-why-did-we-have-to-go-to-him?" Rev asked her.
"Because-he's-lonely-and-maybe-he-wants-to-talk-to-somebody," Michelle said as she walked outside with Rev following her. "You-feeling-alright-there?" she asked Pierre.
Pierre turned around and looked at her. "Oui," he shrugged, "just looking at ze night sky."
Michelle's eyes traveled to the sky. It was a bruised color, indicating that it was going to snow soon. "Yep-its-gonna-snow," she said. She averted her eyes from the sky and looked back at Pierre. "Are-you-still-thinking-about-her?"
Pierre let out a sigh. "Oui," he answered, "wouldn't vous feel zis way if someone took away ze person zat vous love?" he asked her.
"Yes-I-would," Michelle answered.
"Same-here," Rev added.
"But-I-don't-think-that-person-would-want-me-to-suffer-about-it," Michelle finished.
"Of-course-I-don't-want-you-to-suffer," Rev shook his head as he circled his arms around her.
"Je suis suffering now," Pierre broke into their moment, "she broke up with moi but je still love her."
"No-silly-she-didn't-break-up-with-you," Michelle assured him, "remember-what-Tech-said-that-someone-could-have-forced-her-to-say-it."
"Good-point," Rev said.
"How do vous know?" Pierre asked her.
"Really-Pierre?" Michelle asked with a roll of her eyes, "think-about-it-she-has-been-head-over-heels-for-you-meaning-that-she-still-loves-you-never-in-my-life-have-I-seen-a-person-love-someone-like-that-well-I-think-I-have-comsidering-Revy-and-me-"
"Your point?" Pierre interrupted her since she was starting to ramble like she usually did.
"It's-kind-of-simple-actually," Rev said, "she-means-that-she-still-likes-you-no-matter-how-many-times-you-have-kidnapped-her," he reminded him.
"Ahh, oui," Pierre said with a dreamy look on his face, "she liked it. I even liked ze scratch zat she gave me."
"Wait," Michelle said as she looked at Pierre, "she scratched you?"
"Oui," Pierre nodded, "its was a burning feeling and my passion was burning for her, zat passion was making love to her!" he said as he looked at the two roadrunners whose jaws had dropped.
"Okay-going-back-to-talking-about-important-things-yes-she-does-love-you-but-don't-you-also-find-it-kind-of-fishy-that-she-broke-up-with-you-just-out-of-the-blue-and-no-I'm-not-talking-about-your-stench," Michelle said.
"First of all, mademoiselle roadrunner," Pierre began as he put his hand on his hip, "vous should know zat je don't reproduce zat stench anymore for elle has deodorized moi. Second, oui zis situation does sound, how you say, fishy."
Michelle gave him a nod. "Then-you-know-that-she-still-loves-you-and-would-never-break-up-with-you-and-when-you-find-her-you-two-can-go-back-to...-making-love-or-whatever," she added as she moved her hand in the air.
"I will kees her and kees her and je will never stop," he said as if he was going to enter the Kissing Olympics. "Je guess zat je was, how you say, paranoid?"
"At-least-you're-over-it-and-will-live," Michelle told him with an enthusiastic smile.
"And I should say merci beaucoup for helping moi through zis. Vous are ze first...uh..." he said as he looked at her up and down, "animal?...zat has been nice to moi."
Michelle cocked her head to the side and gave him a smile. "Happy to help." A white snow flake slowly fell on top of her feathers as she felt the slight coolness dissolving into her flesh. Her eyes perked up as she looked at the sky and saw a couple of snow flakes escaping from the sky. "Time-to-go-inside," she announced.
Pierre went ahead and walked into the apartment but as Michelle was about to go in, Rev grabbed her hand. She looked behind her and saw that he had a worried look on his face. "You-okay?" she asked.
"I-just-feel-like-someone-is-after-us," he said, "I-don't-know-how-I-don't-know-why-but-I-can-feel-it."
"As-long-as-we-stick-together-then-we-will-be-fine," Michelle said.
Rev walked up to her and gave her a peck on the cheek. Michelle did the same and she rubbed the top of her head under Rev's chin. She looked up and smiled as a sparkle shined in her eye. She lowered her arm to the ground and picked up a handful of fluffy snow. She lightly threw the snow on Rev's face.
"Hey!" Rev exclaimed as he wiped the snow away from the face.
"I-didn't-cheat-this-time," Michelle laughed.
"I-wasn't-ready," Rev told her.
"Oh-well," Michelle shrugged. She suddenly felt something hit her shoulder and a cold moisture seeped into her feather. She looked at Rev and a mischievous smile made its way on her mouth. "Okay-Revy," she said, "its-on!" she bent down and picked up a handful of snow and threw it at Rev. Rev did the same and pretty soon their tender moment turned into a snowball fight.
The two roadrunners laughed and ran around the snow, enjoying the good time that they were having together. How they had missed each other and they were glad to be together again. However, this wonderful moment wasn't going to last forever.
Rev leaped towards her and grabbed her by the waist. The two roadrunners plummeted to the snow and rolled down the sidewalk. Rev pinned her to the ground and smiled at her. Michelle smiled back at him and closed the fun to night with another peck on the cheek.
