Jesus this was like, three pages long. Hope you enjoy the updates!


The Hostel

Trini was alone.

She knew Victor and Nico had already had sex. She heard it through the walls (Nico was pretty loud), Molly wouldn't stop talking to things that belonged to Gert (pictures, stuff, even the Leapfrog), Karolina had Xavin, and Chase…he disappeared. Trini didn't have anyone really. She sat at the desk; listening to the CD player/police scanner that Victor had built. She didn't know what CD she was listening to, but it was awful. Not that she cared. No, Jake was gone. Gert was gone. Everyone was mourning. Well, except Nico who ran into someone's arms and Xavin, who had no idea how human emotions worked. She felt someone stalk towards her.

"Trini?" The headphones weren't loud enough to drown out Victor's call. She turned her head only halfway to see him. "Trini, are you…Do you wanna talk?"

About what? She had nothing to say to him. Or anyone for that matter. She turned back and put the volume up higher.

"Trini, seriously, I just wanna talk to you."

"The same way you talked to Nico?" That slipped out so much harsher. Good. That's what she wanted.

"Look, I didn't mean for it to happen that way." Victor stepped forward. "Are you jealous?"

Trini yanked her headphones off and slammed them on the table. "Really!" She cried. "That's what you're going to ask me? If I'm jealous! No, you know what I am? I'm fucking pissed off! Jake's dead! Gert's dead! I don't care what the hell you do with that Robo-penis of yours! I don't care who you're with! I'm angry! I'm depressed! I'm lonely!" She pressed her hand to her chest as tears cascaded down her cheek. "Victor, I don't have anyone. I never have. My parents were never my parents; I always hid myself because I was scared of getting hurt! And now…now I'm sounding like some teen angst novel." She dragged her sleeve up her cheek; sniffling.

"No, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say that. I was just…overwhelmed." He placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'm sorry. About everything." He pulled her into a hug. "This whole thing: Nico and I…I never wanted it to happen." He whispered. "But…I don't know…I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize." Trini squeezed. "There's no need."


An Hour Later

"Uh-Oh." Victor narrowed his eyes at the police scanner.

"What are you listening to, Vic?" Molly stopped. " 'Cause if you're the one who stole my Dazzler CD, I'm gonna Karate-chop your face off."

"I'm listening to my police scanner, Molly. And It sounds like Starbucks got smashed." Victor cocked a brow.

"I didn't know protesters were in town." Nico joked as she walked up the stairs. "What? They throw another garbage can through the window?"

"Not a Starbucks." Trini answered as she placed her hand on her forehead. "All of them."

"Yeah, 154 stores across L.A. have been completely demolished." Victor added. "They all say by…well, 'something awful'."

"Yes! It's clobbering time!" Molly cheered.

"I'm sure the cops can handle this one. We're not risking our lives over coffee." Nico shook her head.

"What about the employees?" Trini looked up.

"Or the customers." Karolina agreed as she flew in. "We still have a responsibility to protect Los Angeles from the psychopath's who're trying to take our parents' place."

"Besides, Caramel Macchiato might be earth's finest creation." Xavin added.

"Yes," Trini nodded in agreement, "It's the greatest."

"But how are we supposed to find whatever's behind all this?" Nico jabbed her thumb towards the Leapfrog. "Chase is gone, and he's the only one who knows how to pilot out ship."

"Doesn't your house android know how to fly the machine?" Xavin didn't even glance at Victor.

"I'm not their slave, Gender-bender…but I am a pretty fast learner." Victor explained.

"How fast?' Xavin glared.


"I'm gonna die." Trini whispered as she gripped her seat. Victor didn't know shit about the Leapfrog or how it worked. But he was trying. He flipped the 'Frog upside down and bounced it off the roof of a random building. "I'm going to die…I know it."

"Sorry!" Victor apologized. "Just a little turbulence, folks!"

"Um, do you know how to go backwards, Vic?" Nico asked.

"Does he know how to keep this thing upright!" Trini cried.

"Seriously." Molly agreed.

"N-not yet…" Vic answered. "Why, is that gonna be a problem?"

"Oh, no biggie." Nico assured as they faced a large purple beast that was currently reached out towards them.


Like I said, short.
