Yaaay I'm back and I've still got lots of Spova in me! Sorry I took a while to upload this chapter- blame the little bastard who invented school.

KFee: Why? School is fun!

SoLow: Yeah and if it weren't for school, you wouldn't be typing this story right now.

Me: Yeah I would!

SoLow: No you wouldn't cause you wouldn't know how to read and write and stuff like that.

Me: Mom taught me how to read and write and YOU'RE the one who taught me how to type, remember.

SoLow: Grrrr . . .

Me: ALRIGHT BABAY! BRING ON THE SUGAR AND BRING ON THE SPOVA!

Chapter 5

Sparx's Promise

"Argh! I can't get through to the kid!" Sparx muttered.

"Me neither. Do you think he's okay?" Nova asked.

The red monkey shrugged. "I dunno. Dealing with trackers is WAY harder than it looks. The one time we need old Brainstrain and he's not here!" he complained.

"We gotta keep trying," Nova reassured him. "I've already sent out a message to the Sun Riders and they're looking for him."

She had her back turned from Sparx because she was trying to figure out what the keys did on the keyboard. "How DOES Gibson know how to work all this crazy stuff?"

"Don't ask me. I'm not a nerdy nerd," said Sparx, leaning over. He leaned over a little too far actually and fell over on a big red button.

BEEP!

"Sparx! Are you okay?" Nova cried, running over to him and helping him up. Then she noticed the button. "What did you do?"

"I dunno. I ju- Hey check it out," Sparx grinned. The screen was showing images of solar systems and there was a little symbol which signalled the Brian Scrambler. Chiro was alright after all.

"Thank goodness," Nova breathed with relief.

"See? I have SOME brains in me," Sparx smiled proudly. He bent down over the computer, accidently pressing another button. The computer screen changed to outer space.

"SPARX!" Nova yelled but not angrily. "Try to be more careful, will you?"

The red monkey just chuckled and winked at her.

Nova smiled warmly and took one look at the computer. Suddenly her face automatically dropped and her pink eyes opened wide. "I don't believe it," she whispered.

"What? What is it?" asked Sparx, walking over to her. Then he noticed that she had that look on her face again, with the eyes staring into nowhere. "Nova, what's wrong?"

The yellow monkey said nothing but managed to get her shaky hand to point at the screen. Sparx followed her finger and nearly fainted when he saw what she was seeing.

"Double. Monkey. Doodle!" he shouted. "How's THAT thing still alive?"

He looked at Nova and saw that she was beginning to tear up and quickly pulled her into a hug so she couldn't see the image of the Dark One Worm. 'Perfect timing too,' he thought sarcastically. 'What do you do when your girlfriend becomes dramatised by something and then it comes back to haunt her . . . well . . . What would Antauri do? That's easy. He'd find a way to get rid of it. But how?'

"I must do what is most important: destroy the Skeleton King Worm's head at all costs," the silver monkey said in his head.

Sparx groaned. He knew for sure that convincing Nova to come with him was not going to be easy. "Nova . . ." he begun.

"No no no no no!" she cried. "This isn't happening!"

Sparx waited until she stopped speaking before trying again. "Nova, you know that the Worm is dangerous . . ."

"DON'T!" Nova wailed, burying her head into Sparx's chest. "Don't talk about it!"

'Darn, this is hard,' thought Sparx. "Nova . . . do you think you could . . . handle this with me?"

She sobbed harder. "I can't! It'll happen again . . . I don't want it to happen again!"

Sparx squeezed her, wondering what to say to calm her down. Then he remembered something Nova had said to him when she confessed. "The worst part was that I was alone and I thought I'd never see you again."

"Nova I'm going to tell you something so I want you to listen to me." He took hold of her head and look at her directly in the eye. Nova had never seen him look so serious in all her life.

"Yeah?" she sniffed.

"You're not gonna go through the same experience as last time," he said.

"Why not?"

"Because if you fall down any wormhole then I'm coming with you."

SoLow: WHAT? ARE YOU CRAZY?

Me: *screams like crazy fangirl*

NConn: She's on a sugar rush.

Me: YES! THIS IS WHERE IT GETS EXCITING! Will Sparx keep his promise- if Nova falls down another wormhole that is? Please review!
