Hey, I'm back with another chapter! Again, I say thank you to my Beta QueenyLeAcH for, well, being my Beta!
Anyways, here's the chapter!
It took a while, but eventually I was calmed down and fast asleep. Unfortunately, that sleep did not last for very long.
I woke up around 6 o'clock to alarms blaring and red lights flashing. I looked over to see Rex still asleep. "That guy could sleep through anything," I muttered, getting out of bed. Reece jumped after me.
I opened the door, ready to grab anybody and ask them what was going on. Instead, I ran right into Six, who was about to open the door himself. I started to fall back, but Six held onto my good arm, steadying me.
"Thanks, What's going on?" I asked him, a little embarrassed that I was still in my P. J.s.
"A problem in The Hold. A very dangerous EVO has become loose," he replied, just as stoic as ever.
"I'm guessing you want me to wake up Rex?" I asked him, giving him a look.
"Affirmative," he said, fully entering the room.
"Can I come? I should know how to deal with these things." I folded my arms, looking at Six. He raised an eyebrow, then gave a barely imperceptible nod.
I walked over to Rex, gently shaking him on the shoulder. I softly said his name, hoping to bring him back to the land of the living. "Rex, Rex, are you in there?"
He turned onto his side, and mumbled something I couldn't understand, obviously still in dreamland.
Apparently Six knew what Rex said, because he rasied an eyebrow and looked at the sleeper.
"What did he just say?" I asked Six. It had sounded familiar, but I couldn't place it.
Six raised his other eyebrow. "You didn't understand that?" He said, showing the slightest glimpse of a personality before it got covered again.
"Hey, I can't be perfect!" I said to him, a little annoyed by the smuggness I detected in that last sentence. I shook his shoulder again. This time, Rex actually woke up.
"Woah, never going to do that again," he muttered, not seeing that we were in the room.
"Six! What's the problem?" He said, seeing that Six was there.
"A problem down in The Hold. It's her sister," he said, with no clue as to who's sister she could be.
"Ugh, don't EVOs ever take a vacation?" Rex muttered, soft enough that only I heard it. I giggled, and helped him to his feet.
We ran down to the Petting Zoo. Well, it's more like Six ran, I fast limped, and Rex was inbetween, making sure that I was keeping up. Once we made it to the Petting Zoo, Rex created his bike and had me get on.
"What's The Hold, and who's sister is he talking about?" I asked Rex as we speed through the jungle.
"Do you remember that large building we saw your first day here?" I nodded, then remembered he couldn't see me, so I agreed with him.
"Well, that building is where they hold incurable EVOs that are more dangerous. As for the sister part, I think it would be better if Dr. Holiday told you about that." By then, we had made it to The Hold. I got off, and Rex shrank his Rex Ride, only to create yet another machine. This one looked like he had giant metal hands. He ran into the building where all the noise was coming from.
For a while, we both heard and saw nothing. Then, suddenly, this giant spider like creature burst out, with Rex on top of her, trying to knock her unconscious or something. Six ran in to help him, while I sat on the sidelines. Man, I need to learn how to fight!
Apparently this creature could read minds, because she decided to give me a lesson. Ignoring Six and Rex completely, she ran towards me, looking like she wanted to make me her next meal. The way my luck was going, that would be my best guess.
I stood frozen, not knowing what to do. She was about to strike, when I heard and felt two things. I heard the sound of a gun with a muffler going off, and felt someone pulling me out of the way, and just in time, too. The second I was out from under her, the spider started to fall. I was surprised to see that instead of bullets, tranquilizer darts were imbedded into her skin. Even more surprising was the fact that Dr. Holiday was holding the tranq gun.
It took a little while to realise that I still had a pair of arms wrapped around my waist. Looking back, I saw that Rex was the one who had pulled me out.
"Uh, Rex? You can let go now," I said, trying to get his attention. He shook his head, and saw that he still had his arms around me. He blushed, and quickly removed his arms. Unfortunately, because I had been leaning on them, I ended up falling on my back.
"This is just not my day." As I sat up, I saw Six, Rex, and Dr. Holiday carrying the spider EVO back into The Hold. The monkey stood next to me, laughing up a storm. I glared at him, making him shut up.
When we made it back to Providence, Dr. Holiday insisted that she do that day's checkup on me. I consented, and we went down to the lab. While we were down there, I asked Dr. Holiday who that EVO was. All of a sudden, she got really quiet, like she was lost.
"You don't have to tell me if you don't want to," I told her, not wanting to cause anything bad.
"No, no, it's okay. It's just hard to talk about sometimes." She leaned on the table before starting again. "That EVO was - is - my sister."
I instantly felt bad for asking that question. Of course the EVO had a family tie to Dr. Holiday! I mean, Rex told me to ask Dr. Holiday, not anyone else.
"I'm sorry," I stuttered, feeling really stupid.
"No, it's okay, you're going to still be here for a while. You will need to know what's going on." She finished up the check up, and I left, still feeling awful.
On my way to the cafeteria for some late breakfast, I was mentally berating myself about asking her that. What was I thinking! I must be some kind of idiot! What kind of person just goes up to someone and randomly starts talking about things like that!
I was so caught up in my thoughts, that I didn't even see it when I ran into Rex. I swear, I made a face- sized imprint in his chest.
"Ooff!" My breath whooshed out of my lungs, and I started falling backwards, due to my lack of balance. Thankfully, Rex grabbed onto my arm before I could fall again.
"Thanks. Today just doesn't seem to be my day," I said, feeling glad that I had found someone who might be able to keep my thoughts away from mentally beating myself up.
"Well, why don't we make it better?" He suggested, making a devious face.
"Garbage chute again?" I asked him, knowing what that look on his face meant.
"Yep. I'll just grab Bobo and we can head out, maybe go to town," he said, starting to walk away.
"I'll go with you. I mean, there's not much else that I can do while I'm waiting for you to gather your chimp," I said, jumping forward a little bit. He grinned, and we started walking together.
I don't know why I brought Holiday's sister back, but it worked. It's review time!
QueenyLeAcH- Yes, no repetition. You fixed that! Thank you again.
Hawkpath13- Yep, Rex got injured! I try to make people happy.
TheKeeperofKingdomHearts1- Believe me, I plan on having plenty of Rex/ Courtney cuteness. It might be a bit gradual.
galaxydreamergurl101- Thank you! I'm glad you love it. It's very entertaining to write as well.
