Hola, what's up? I've got a new chapter for you! Aren't you happy? I hope you're happy. This chapter's for my fanfic "penpal" as I call her, inkdragon13, and my awesome beta, "QueenyLeAcH".
Anyways, here's the new chapter, hope ya'll like it.
By the next morning, things were back to normal. I woke up, wondering what had happened yesterday that could have made me so happy. Then it hit me. Me, Rex, my EVO confession, him promising not to tell.
I looked over at Rex. He looked so normal just lying there. You wouldn't think that a deadly weapon would come from such a cute boy- Wait a minute, did I just think he was cute? There is no way I just thought that!
I shook my head, dislodging the thoughts from my brain. Making sure he wasn't awake yet, I got up, grabbed my clothes, and head to the bathroom to clean up and change.
When I got back, Rex had already gotten up and changed. The guy from the basketball court, what was his name – Noah – was there too, playing videogames with Rex.
"Hey. What's up?" I sat down on my bed and took a look at the screen.
"Oh, Hi. Can't talk, got butt to kick," he said, not even turning around. Both his and Rex's eyes were glued to the TV screen where two creatures were fighting. I rolled my eyes. Like he doesn't fight enough monster EVOs already.
They played the game for a while; Noah beating Rex almost every time. They offered me a controller, but I said no. I don't like videogames that much.
During the time that they were playing, I started thinking. In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have told him that story. He's totally going to think I'm crazy. I mentally smacked myself on the forehead, rebuking myself.
I heard a tune and saw the screen say "Player 2 is the Winner" out of the corner of my eye. Rex groaned and threw the controller down. I laughed at him, falling onto my bed. I grabbed my book and started reading, hearing Rex asking for one more battle.
"I'll definitely beat you this time!" I heard, and the noises from the game start again. Those boys.
For about an hour, they played their videogames. I finished my book before they were done. Bored, I decided to watch them play. I got up and sat down on Rex's bed, right above Rex, who was on the floor. I reached down and gently grabbed his goggles, lifting them off of his head.
"Hey!" he said, turning his head to look at me. He accidentally pressed a button, and the character on the screen did something that killed the other player. The tune played again, but the screen said "Player 1 is the Winner."
"Yes!" he said, jumping up. I moved backwards quickly, not wanting to be lifted into the air.
"I've gotta go. See you soon." Noah got up and gave both Rex and I a high five, walking out the door.
I turned around and lay down sideways on Rex's bed, my torso hanging off the edge. He sat down in front of me, looking amused.
"Can I have my goggles back? I'm glad you helped me win the game but must you sacrifice the goggles?" he said, looking me in the eyes. I just smiled.
"Fine. I wonder what there is to do around here. Doesn't seem like much." I could feel the blood rush to my head.
"Well, then let's get out of here for a while. I'm sure that you need to get out of here just as much as I do," he said, flashing me that ridiculous smile.
"That would be the best idea you've had yet today," I replied, sliding off the bed. I got up off the floor, brushed myself off, and stood in front of him, grinning. "So, where are we going?"
"You'll see." He and I went out the door. A nice thing about having just a walking cast is that Rex doesn't have to slow down for me. I can keep up with him.
We headed outside, where Rex built the jet pack, or the Boogie Pack as he called it. "Hop on, chica." He motioned to the wings of the boogie pack.
"Chica?"
"You know, Spanish for girl." Rex gave me his silly smirk. I shrugged my shoulders and did as he said, holding on for dear life.
He took off and flew through the sky. We were flying for a long time, going pretty much anywhere as far as I could tell. I watched the ground whiz by from beneath us, passing a few cities along the way.
We eventually landed sometime around noon in what looked like a park. He retracted his wings, and started walking in some direction. He turned around when he saw that I wasn't moving. "You coming?" he asked, holding out his hand. I shrugged my shoulders, walking over to his side.
We walked for a while, to the point that I thought he had brought me just to walk around the park. Now, something like that would be very sweet, but it's not the sort of thing the Rex I knew would do.
Rex started walking faster, looking exited about whatever it was he was taking me do. I heard some noises the closer we got. The sound of many people, the clang of metal against something else, the thwack of balls against gloves…. Oh, no.
"Wait a minute! Are we going to watch a baseball game?" I said, trepidation rising in my voice. I slipped my shades on quickly, in case someone walked by.
"Nope. We're going to play in a baseball game. It's a pickup game, anyone can jump in," he said as we walked into the baseball field.
"What?" I exclaimed as he pulled me towards the diamond. "I can't play baseball! I've never played baseball! I can't start now!"
"Why not? It's going to be my first time too. At least, as far as I can remember. It's just a fun game." Rex grinned at me, pulling me to where I'm guessing one of teams was hanging out.
"Hey! Mind if we join?" he said, pulling me next to him. The guys nodded enthusiastically, and handed us some equipment. I took the equipment and sat down next to the first girl I saw.
The game started off with our team up to bat, with a kid who introduced himself as Ron up first. The ball was thrown, and the game was on.
We played for a while, switching between fielding and batting. I was surprisingly not bad at it. I actually made a home run at one point! But Rex played like a pro. The day would have been perfect if it weren't for one thing.
"So, did it hurt?" The most annoying boy in the history of the world said as he sat next to me. Name, Albert. Occupation, to drive me crazy with his stupid pick up lines.
I sighed. Here we go again. "What hurt?" I tried to sound nice, but it didn't work. He didn't even notice anyway.
"When you fell out of heaven, of course." He grinned and leaned back. I gave him a look. I hope you don't think I'm actually going to respond to something like that!
Thankfully, I was up to bat next. I grabbed a helmet and a bat, and stood next to the plate. I brought the bat up, looking the pitcher in the eye. She, yes I said she, nodded slightly and threw the ball.
I swung the bat and the ball went flying across the field. I ran for 1st base, the person in front of me heading for 2nd. The ball was still flying, so I headed for 2nd. The outfielder picked the ball up off of the ground and threw it to the 2nd baseman. By the time he caught it, I was already on 3rd and heading towards home plate. I slid into home plate just before the catcher caught the ball.
The spectators went crazy, cheering for me of all people. I jumped up and down, celebrating my victory. I ran from home plate straight into Rex, who was coming up to celebrate with me. He grabbed me in a hug, spinning around.
"That was awesome! And you said you've never played baseball before!" he said, picking me up off the ground. I laughed so hard.
He set me down. I was about to hug him again when someone else got in between us.
"You were amazing! You are ready for the pros, girl!" Albert said, holding his arms out for a hug. When I didn't move towards him, he came up, putting his arms around me.
I squirmed, but I couldn't break his grip. Man, was he strong! I opened my mouth, ready to yell at him to let go of me, when I heard a slapping sound. Albert let go of me and put a hand to the back of his head, looking pained. I saw Rex standing behind him, his hand poised to slap him again.
"Get away from her." Rex said, coming up to me and putting an arm around my shoulders. Albert gave me the "call you later" sign and walked away, looking wary of Rex.
"Thank you so much. That guy was a pain in the neck." I leaned against him, looking him in the eye.
"Well, thanks to you, we won the game!" He hugged me yet again. I started laughing as the entire team crowded us.
"Hey, we're all having a late lunch together. You guys in?" some girl asked. Rex and I looked at each other, and nodded at the exact same time. She grinned and called the others over. I laughed as the team cheered.
The lunch was just a large picnic under some trees. Albert tried to sit by me, but Rex sat down before Albert had a chance.
We all ate together, laughing and having a great time. I was leaning against a tree, drinking my glass of water, when the girl I mentioned earlier, who said her name was Sally, sat next to me.
"How can you play so well when you have those dark sunglasses on?" She asked me. I shrugged my shoulders.
"I don't know. Things don't look any different with them on. I just keep them on because of a birth defect that had to do with my eyes," I lied. I had to give her some reason to me wearing them all the time.
"Cool. Can I see?" she asked. I shrugged, lifting my shades for a minute and setting them back down. What a strange person.
"So, how long have you two been going out?" she asked me, grinning like a lunatic. I sprayed the water I had had in my mouth at the time. I looked at her, shocked.
"What are you talking about?" I said. She smirked at me.
"You know, that cute guy that's always defending you against the most annoying Albert. What was his name, oh yeah, Rex! So, how long have you two been going out?" she asked her question again, looking at me expectantly.
"We're not going out. He's my best friend, he was just looking out for me!" I exclaimed, getting some looks from the other girls there. They crowded around us, asking what we were talking about.
"She was about to tell us how long she's been dating Rex," Sally said to me.
"What! How long have you been dating? Is he a good kisser? How many dates have you gone on?" The girls surrounded me, bombarding me with questions.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Rex and I are not dating! We are best friends! Nothing gossip worthy!" I said, holding my hands in front of me, my water forgotten. The girls pouted at me and backed up. They went along with what ever they had been doing earlier.
"Making some new friends, chica?" Rex asked as he sat next to me. I laughed to myself, the irony just screaming.
"They were just asking some questions about… us." I blushed a little, hoping he didn't notice.
Thankfully, he seemed oblivious. "Well, Six showed up. Ready to head back?" I nodded my head, getting onto my feet. I saw Six easily. It's not hard to find a man wearing a green suit and sunglasses in a field of normal teenagers. Rex got up after me.
We headed towards Six, knowing we wouldn't be able to escape him now that he had found us. Six turned his head towards us and motioned towards the ship over by the bank, his face unchanging.
Rex and I said good-bye to everyone, and got into the ship. I leaned against the back of the ship and took my shades off, rubbing my eyes a little. Man, those girls had been prying!
"You know, I never noticed it before, but you look like a girl version of Six with those shades on. Except, you have a personality," Rex said as he sat down next to me.
I looked at him, shocked about two things. One, that I looked anything like Six. Two, the fact that I didn't really mind.
Thinking about it, I did see some similarities between us, mainly looks. Maybe he's a distant relative or something. It's not like my family has reunions. He could be my uncle and I wouldn't know. That would explain why he felt so familiar.
"Six? Did you happen to have any relatives by the name of Jonathan Walker?" I asked him, seeing if I could get to the bottom of this.
"Yes, my brother. Why do you ask?" he said, an eyebrow rising.
"Just the fact that you might possibly be my uncle," I said. Who knows, the news might just shock him enough to crack that armor of his.
Yet still, he didn't react. "I was wondering the same. I can see the family resemblance," he said, his eyes returning to the front. I turned to Rex, dumfounded. First I find out I look like the sixth deadliest man in the world. Then I find out said man is actually my uncle. Yet he doesn't even flinch. Can my life get any weirder?
So, there's the new chapter? Did ya like it? Huh huh huh? It's more a filler chapter than an exciting chapter. But, we do find out more about Courtney's past.
Reviews!
Stormypelt's Rose- Sure, you can do the same thing! That may be true, but you got to remember, Courtney hasn't known Rex for that long. It's kind of weird for you to like the smell of a person you haven't known for that long. Was something wrong about the story? I'm not the best at dramatic stuff.
Circe148deviantArt- Awesome. Love that you love my story!
xxXDanniXxx- You'll just have to see. I'm not giving anything away. ;)
Tessadragon- Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the last chapter. I feel like I didn't do it right.
charleithebrat- Well, I'm glad the story is so good! I try t make it so good. I actually don't know when their going to kiss yet. But, it won't be for a little while longer, I like to spread out the romance.
So, there you go! I hope to get the next chapter done and sent to my beta soon. Hasta Luego!
