Camellia's Garage/Camellia

I doodle aimlessly on a piece of paper while I waited to get off of hold. For you see, seeing as I actually had some time to spare I would call contractors to build a well needed house for me and Tyler to live in. Which speaking of which, Tyler stood over me breathing down my neck. "But you should make a big mansion. Three story, enough rooms for your parents, me, you, Amy, and other random guests, three offices, one for you, one for your dad and one for your mom and maybe one for me? Think about that now. Also an entertainment room. Oh a movie theater with a big ass screen and the game systems there, can you imagine how cool it would be playing Black Ops on that screen? Whoo… Oh, oh! And a pool! A pool with a slide and a waterfall and a swim-up bar—even though we can't drink yet but there's no shame in planning ahead—and a high board so we can jump in. And a hot tub. Oh yeah… A hot tub would be nice... And a huge garage to hold your parents' car for when they come here, your car, my car, Amy's car. That's like what? Four, five car garage? And of course a kitchen, living area a porch and a patio and an exercise room and um… And um…"

I sighed and pulled my phone away from my ear. "Tyler, I'm not going to build an over abundance of living area. We can live without the pool and the entertainment room."

"But we're bored here! Make this house party central!"

"No Tyler."

"But, but…"

"No."

"… Can we at least have the pool?"

"We'll see."

Tyler jumped up in excitement and hissed out one word. "Yes!"

I shook my head and heard someone talking through the phone. I place my cell back to my ear. "I'm here. Sorry."

"It's all right Miss Talent." The man sounded. "So I see from what my secretary had jotted down that you want four bedrooms, three and a half baths with a three car garage with two additional rooms for offices, living/dining room, fireplaces, at least one, and a full stainless steel kitchen?"

"Yes." I think for a moment before I cut him off. "Actually make it a four car garage, add an additional room, a pool with a slide, high board and bar and add an entertainment room too."

"Whew… When you build a house you build a house." He said in astonishment. I shrugged even though he couldn't see me. "Price range?"

"Um… Try to keep it under a million and a half, please."

"Will do. Let me see what plans I can find here that suit your wants. Please hold."

"Uh-huh." The 'hold' music came back on and I felt Tyler leaning on the back of my chair. I turned and he stumbled off. When I looked at him he had a big smile on his face.

"You're doing what I told you to do."

"What you suggested. Two different things you know."

His smile grew. "Man I can't wait for this house to get finished. We're gonna have a house party so big and loud all the cops in New Mexico would have to come and shut it down."

"No." I said calmly. "Act your age Tyler. No party."

"I'm 18 though…"

The contractor started to talk again and I focused my attention on him. "I have found a few plans for you and some even have computer renderings. If you give me your email I'll send them to you so you can have a look-see." I gave him my business email and I logged into it while I told him. Within moments the email came through and Tyler and I scrolled down to look at the houses. Most of the houses were under the price which was good except for this one million eight hundred thousand dollar house which I ignored but was the one Tyler liked best. "See anyone that interests you?"

Tyler pulled the phone from me. "The expensive one! That one's nice!"

I yanked the phone back. "Ignore him. He exploits my family's money."

"It's quite all right Miss Talent."

"I liked the Spanish/Mediterranean style home. The one million fifty thousand one."

"I had a feeling you might like that one. It has everything you want plus a library and a great room."

"Even though I could do without the two."

"But you can convert them to something different. A fully built entertainment room, perhaps a home theater and maybe put all the offices together."

"That's what I was thinking." I sighed. "That's the one. Send your boys over to map out the area."

"And I take it you have the lands for it?"

"Yep. Approximately 10-15 minutes out from the company."

"Great. Then expect us there within the next week or so."

"Thank you. And let me tell you that the faster the work the faster the payments."

"Taken." He said simply. "We will see you then Miss Talent."

"Uh-huh." I hanged up and stood. "Time to get back to work."

"Ah come on!" Tyler complained.

"Cool it; you don't have any work remember? It's your off day?"

"Ah, that's right. Sucks to be you."

"Oh yeah. Back to the engine." I groaned and dragged myself to the engine after I left my phone on my desk and turned on the radio option. Music filled the air as Tyler escaped the work by leaving in the elevator.

The Hub/No POV

"But she gave us her number for a reason."

"She's a busy person Spin. You just can't call her."

"Yes I can."

"No, you can't."

The two Cortez brothers argued back and forward, Sherman holding the phone far and away from his older brother. "Ah come on Sherman." Spinner moaned. "I just want to see if she wants to eat with me?"

"On a date Spinner?" Agura inquired.

"No!" Spinner said though he started to blush. "Just as friends."

Sherman shook his head. "Bro, we promised not to date her or risk breaking up our bro-hood."

"Yeah." AJ chuckled. "Bros before hoes." The room quieted and the others stared at him. "Not that she's a ho." He quickly stated while he rose his hands up in defense. "It's the saying. I didn't mean to call her a ho."

"Yeah well…" Vert said. "We better think about what the Reds are going to do next."

"Attack, plunder, make our lives miserable?" Stanford said.

"No really guys. We have to focus on this."

"Vert is right." Sage said as she floated over next to him. "There is no knowing what Krytus has planned, but it will certainly not be good. The least you can do is plan for it."

Zoom stretched in his seat and released a yawn. "Yeah. Defiantly." He yawned again.

"Zoom you seem a bit more tired lately." Vert stated.

"Yeah well…" Another yawn. "I've been staying up late."

"Doing what exactly?" Tezz questioned.

"Talking." The youngest member replied.

"To who?" The Cortez brothers asked at the same time, the argument they had long forgotten.

Zoom now smiled and placed his hands behind his head. "No one special."

The guys stayed quiet while Agura smiled and stood. "It's a girl." She said almost excitedly. "And not just any girl…"

"Yeah you got me." Zoom said, his hands now coming up in surrender while a slight blush crept up his face. "It's Grace."

"Grace?" Vert asked with a surprised look.

Agura chuckled. "I knew it. So did Cam. She noticed it before."

"One; how could you? Two; Cam? You're starting to call her Cam now? And three; noticed what?" AJ asked, confusion written on his face.

Agura rolled her eyes. "One; girl instincts, two; I've been talking to her and Grace. They're the only teenage girls within 20 miles of here and she became a good friend of mine so I call her Cam. And three; noticed the way Grace looks at Zoom."

Zoom laughed and laid back again. "Looks like I won Vert."

Vert blinked and groaned slightly. "That's great."

The others chuckled but Tezz remained serious. "Let us just hope that Vert does not get too jealous that he would internally ruin the structure of this group." Once again it got quiet and the others looked at the Russian. He looked at every one of them before speaking again. "I am only trying to state the possibility and the fact that if it does happen I will be able to once again say 'I told you so'."

Red Sentient Planet/No POV

Krytus slammed his fist onto the table, rocking the very structure of the table. "How is it that every time we go up against the Battle Force 5 we always lose?" Kyburi nervously shuffles her foot on the ground. She knew she was going to get yelled at. She was leading the expedition this time. It is automatically her fault.

"Krytus," Kyrosys spoke, "why don't we locate the others in stasis and awaken them to form a bigger army, a stronger one."

Krytus quieted down as he thought over the possibility. They could somehow find the rest of their species and awaken them. The problems being one, they don't know where the others are at, two; they don't know how they would awaken them, and three; Battle Force 5. His eyes gazed over to Kyburi. "Kyburi."

She pushed herself off the wall and turned to face him fully. "Yes. What?"

"You will scour this planet in search for the others. Leave no area unsearched."

She blinked. "Will I have assistance?"

"No." He turned his back on her. "Now go."

She exhaled sharply. So this was her punishment. Endless searching with no help. "Fine." She turned and left the room while Krytus started to talk to the others. What did she see in him she will never know, but as long as he's here she knows she will always follow his orders. Once outside she formed her vehicle and rode off to do her punishment. What she didn't know was that Krytus was busy offering more server punishment on the others.
