Chapter 20: Hanging Out
Karrie was humming as she wrapped her egg in blankets. Kellyn was somewhere nearby talking to Kate. Rhythmi was spying on them. Laurie was talking to Ben and Summer. Keith was asking Solana and Lunick a bunch of questions.
"Is there anything else?" asked Solana.
"I don't think so," replied Keith.
"Do you like Karrie?" asked Lunick.
"WHAT?" asked Keith with his face bright red.
"DO YOU LIKE KARRIE?" shouted Lunick.
"Why would you think that? She's a friend!" replied Keith as he turned as red as a tamato berry.
"Exactly," replied Lunick.
"Huh?" said Keith.
"You were very concerned for her safety when she pulled her big stunt." said Solana.
"She's my friend, I don't want her to get hurt," replied Keith. Karrie skipped over happily with her new egg.
"What are you guys talking about?" asked Karrie.
"We're trying to get-" started Lunick only to receive a death glare from Keith and a smack from Solana. "Ow! Quit doing that!" Karrie giggled.
"You two haven't changed much," said Karrie. "Oh, has Lunick ask you out yet Solana?" Lunick turned bright red and Solana started to blush.
"N-N-No, why?" asked Solana.
"Oh, no reason!" replied Karrie with a smile.
"Hey, why don't you go talk to Summer? I'm sure you'll find that you two have something in common," suggested Lunick.
"Keith, why don't you go talk to Ben? I'm sure you'll find something in common with him," suggested Solana.
"Oh I get it, Ranger Partners need a talk," replied Karrie with a smile. "Come on Keith, let's go!" Karrie grabbed Keith and pretty much dragged him over to Summer and Ben, leaving Solana and Lunick blushing as well as making Keith blush.
Lunick's Minun popped up and climbed onto his shoulder and Solana's Pulse came over and climbed on her partner's shoulder.
'Dude, that was so smooth. Getting Karrie out of your hair before she spilled your secret of liking Solana.' said Minun.
"Yeah, yeah," replied Lunick.
'Maybe Karrie was hinting something when she asked you that. Maybe Lunick likes you and she's trying to tell you with out Lunick noticing her doing so.' said Pulse.
"I doubt it," replied Solana.
~with Ben and Summer~
"Hey Karrie!" said Summer as she watched Karrie drag Keith over while holding her new egg.
"Hey Summer," replied Karrie.
"Are you sure you two aren't a couple?" asked Laurie in a teasing manner.
"VERY!" replied Karrie while blushing.
"Then why are you holding his arm?" asked Ben. Karrie immediately released Keith's arm.
"Ignore Ben," said Summer. "Hey, let's go find Kellyn."
"I bet he's making out with Kate," replied Ben with a huge grin. He got kicked in the shin by Karrie. "OW! What was that for?"
"You know perfectly well what that was for," replied Summer. "Now come on before I join her in beating you up." Keith watched in amusement as Summer got Ben to follow silently. Karrie and Keith followed Summer and found Kate and Kellyn talking. Keith and Karrie looked at each other while smiling. They were going to have fun with this. They were the Prankster Duo. Time to tease.
"Oh Kate, I love you so much," said Keith with his worst impression of Kellyn ever.
"Oh Kellyn,I love you too," replied Karrie while putting on her flirtatious Kate impression. Kellyn and Kate turned bright red. Then Karrie and Keith were making kissing noises, that was when Kate and Kellyn decided to use the situation to their advantage. They pushed Keith and Karrie into each other. Unfortunately, Keith and Karrie were able to stop themselves from getting their faces so close as to kiss each other. Why was this unfortunate? Because Kate and everyone else wanted the two to kiss. Also, Karrie's one hand was on Keith's chest while the other was busy holding the egg, Keith's one hand caught Karrie's shoulder and his other hand was, er, let's just let Keith realize where it is himself.
Keith was startled by the sudden push into Karrie. He was able to stop himself in time so that he wouldn't accidentally kiss Karrie. His one hand had landed on something soft. He felt it a little, it was squishy too. Keith looked down only to realize in horror that he was groping Karrie's breasts. He immediately got his hand off. He looked at her, she was far from happy.
"I take it I have 10 seconds to run," said Keith. Karrie handed her egg over to Kellyn and turned to him.
"You have 5," replied Karrie.
"Fair enough," replied Keith and he ran for dear life as Karrie ran after him with a hammer that magically appeared out of no where. Everyone was laughing, everyone but Karrie and Keith. Kellyn wrapped his spare arm around Kate's waist. He couldn't have asked for a better sister than Karrie.
"Aw! No kissing moments should be illegal!" said Rhythmi.
"If you want a kissing moment, kiss Isaac," replied Kate. Isaac was nearby and overheard Kate and started to blush. Rhythmi had turned bright red. Kate allowed Kellyn to wrap his arm around her waist tighter and pull her closer to him. She rested her hands on his chest and watched Karrie chase Keith around with a hammer.
"Those two are a riot," said Laurie while watching Karrie chase Keith with a hammer. "Too bad they both are in denial of their feelings for each other." Kellyn looked at Laurie. Denial?
"It's obvious those two care s lot about each other," replied Kate.
"I just hope Kellyn's just content with Kate and accepts Keith," said Rhythmi. All eyes turned to Kellyn who turned bright red and decided to bury his face into Kate's neck in embarrassment causing Kate to blush. "Aw, too cute!"
"Any one going to help the poor guy?" asked Ben. The girls looked at each other, then at Karrie, and then to Ben.
"Nah," replied the girls. Ben looked at Kellyn.
"I'm staying out of this one," replied Kellyn.
"Hey Ben, I've been meaning to ask you something," said Rhythmi.
"What is it?" asked Ben.
"Is Summer your girlfriend?" asked Rhythmi. Ben turned bright red and Summer started to blush.
"I-It-Its not like that at all! We're just friends," replied Ben.
"Where have I heard that before?" asked Laurie and everyone looked at Keith and Karrie who were still running around. They then looked back at Ben. Ben turned an even brighter shade of red.
"She's not my girlfriend!" replied Ben.
"Ya, you wish she was though," said Rhythmi.
"You don't know that!" replied Ben.
"Does she always do this?" asked Kellyn.
"Pretty much," replied Kate.
"Hey, do want to go watch Karrie chase Keith somewhere else where we can get a better view?" asked Kellyn. "I have a hunch Karrie's going to get him good soon."
"You just want to be alone with her," said Summer.
"Ahem," replied Kate, "Kellyn I would love to." Kellyn smiled and led Kate off where they could get a better view of Karrie chasing Keith with a hammer.
"I smell romance," said Rhythmi.
"I sense someone sticking their nose where it doesn't belong," replied Isaac who had come over.
"Isaac!" said Rhythmi with a gasp.
"Creeper!" said Summer. Ben and Laurie laughed.
"I'm not a creeper," replied Isaac.
"Says you," replied Summer.
"You're not the only one that thinks Isaac is a creeper," said Laurie. "Karrie hides every time Isaac comes around."
"Why?" asked Summer.
"He got a little to close and asked her too personal questions once," replied Rhythmi.
"Her hair hurts," said Isaac with a whimper. Everyone laughed.
"Karrie always hides behind Keith though," said Laurie.
"Now that's something," replied Summer. "She must feel safe when she's around him."
"So what exactly is that supposed to mean?" asked Ben. The girls smacked their own foreheads.
"She obviously likes him!" replied Rhythmi.
"I asked her once if she liked Keith," said Laurie.
"What did she say?" asked Rhythmi.
"She said that she was 'not going to answer that,'" replied Laurie. Rhythmi sweat dropped.
"She won't admit she likes him but she won't deny it either," said Summer, "which means she likes him."
"How does that mean she likes him?" asked Ben.
"If she didn't like him she would have just said no," replied Summer.
"Summer, do you like Ben?" asked Rhythmi. Summer blushed and muttered something under her breath. "What was that?"
"Never mind, I'm going to see if Karrie got Keith already," replied Summer and she ran off.
"I'll take that as a yes then," replied Rhythmi. She turned to Ben.
"I, um, got to go now, bye!" said Ben as he ran off in Summer's direction. Isaac put his hand on Rhythmi's shoulder.
"Are you going after them?" asked Isaac. Rhythmi blushed since he touched her.
"No," replied Rhythmi. "My work at the moment is done."
"Should I leave you two?" asked Laurie.
"If you want," replied Isaac. Laurie took one last look at the two blondes and then made her decision.
"Have fun but not too much fun you two!" said Laurie as she walked away. Isaac and Rhythmi blushed.
"Um, great job with the Operator and Ranger Co-op," said Isaac to break the silence.
"Thanks," replied Rhythmi with a smile. "You were awesome when you beat that Senior during the Lab event." Isaac blushed.
"It was nothing really," replied Isaac.
"No, it was totally awesome," said Rhythmi.
"You handled yours much better," said Isaac. "You looked like a professional." Rhythmi blushed.
"Thank you Isaac," replied Rhythmi. "You were so cool when you beat that guy."
"Really?" asked Isaac. "You think a nerd is cool?"
"You're a geek, a genius too. You're super smart and wicked cool." replied Rhythmi.
"Thanks," said Isaac. "You're sweet, bossy, and kind. You're also a very smart girl." Rhythmi blushed but then realized something.
"Did you just call me bossy?" asked Rhythmi.
"Um yes," replied Isaac, "you're only bossy when you need to be or to other people." Rhythmi didn't know if she should strangle him or hug him. "Um Rhythmi?"
"Yes?" asked Rhythmi.
"Um about what Kate said earlier, about you wanting a kissing moment," replied Isaac while blushing. Rhythmi blushed.
"You heard that?" asked Rhythmi.
"Yeah," replied Isaac. "Is there a reason she said that?"
"Oh, it's just that she knows I like you," replied Rhythmi and gasped when she realized what she just said. "I did not just say that!"
"You like me?" asked Isaac, startled. Rhythmi blushed.
"Yeah, I really, really like you," admitted Rhythmi while turning bright red. Isaac hugged Rhythmi.
"Best thing I've heard all day," said Isaac. "I really like you too." Rhythmi looked up to see the blonde boy blushing. This was a dream come true. She leaned in and parted her lips and Isaac leaned into her. The two blondes kissed.
"Aw," said Summer.
"Yay! Now if only I could get Lunick and Solana to do that!" exclaimed Karrie who was sitting on top of a bruised and beaten up Keith.
"Yeah Rhyth!" yelled Kate who had come just in time with Kellyn who still had his arm wrapped around her waist. Rhythmi and Isaac pulled back blushing and looked at their friends that had gathered. Lunick and Solana were their and blushing from Karrie's comment. Laurie was even there with a big smile on her face.
"Guys," said Rhythmi, embarrassed.
"Guess this means you two are a couple now," said Laurie smugly. Rhythmi looked and Isaac and he nodded. Rhythmi was over filled with joy that her dream had come true and she wrapped her arms around Isaac's neck and hugged him.
"Congratulations!" yelled Ben.
"Can I be your best man?" asked Keith only to be whacked in the head by Karrie. "Ow! Don't you think you gave me enough injuries for one day?"
"With what you did? No," replied Karrie. Everyone else started to laugh.
"I'll tell you what, you can be the best man IF and WHEN I get married," said Isaac with a chuckle. "I'm only 15."
"Drat, I'm only 14," replied Keith and everyone looked at him. "I'm turning 15 on August 12."
"That means you and Karrie will be the same age for a week." replied Kellyn. "Her birthday is on August 5."
"Oh joy," replied Keith.
"YAY!" shouted Karrie as she jumped a little making Keith grunt when she landed back down. She fell over a little but thankfully Keith was there to catch, even in his condition. Everyone laughed but them. "What's so funny?"
"Not-hing!" replied Laurie threw her fits of laughter. "Just you and Keith!" Karrie looked at her in confusion.
"Clueless as ever," said Kate, "but I bet that Keith knows where we're all getting at." Keith turned bright red. Karrie tilted her head in confusion.
"Kellyn, can I have my egg back?" asked Karrie.
"Sure," replied Kellyn. "You have to come and get though." Karrie looked at her brother. Knowing he wasn't joking, she got up and walked over. This gave Keith time to actually stand up. It was all in vain when Karrie came back over and whacked him in the head with a hammer and he hit the ground again. Karrie once again sat on him.
"Do you like sitting on him?" asked Lunick. Karrie blushed and got up immediately. Keith got up while blushing.
"Where in the world does that hammer come from any ways?" asked Keith. The hammer appeared out of no where once again and Karrie bonked him on the head with it. "Ow!"
"What an interesting couple you two make," said Solana. Keith and Karrie blushed.
"We're not a couple!" shouted Keith and Karrie.
"I never said you were one," replied Solana.
"You two just act like a couple," said Summer.
"Do not!" protested Karrie.
"Denial!" replied Laurie.
"Alright, I think we have teased her long enough," said Kate. "Let's go get something to eat." On cue, Karrie's, Keith's, Ben's, Summer's, and Lunick's stomachs growled. This time everyone laughed. They made their way to the cafeteria and enjoyed the rest of the day hanging out together.
