"Shoot him numbuh 35!" Rachel screamed as she aimed her G.U.M.Z.O.O.K.A. at the tall bald man with the TV strapped to his chest and tentacles with plungers on the end flying around trying to grab the KND operatives.
"I'm on it numbuh 362!" Bartie aimed the F.L.A.M.E.U.H. at the man and fired but missed causing Patton to jump out of the way to avoid the fiery blast
"Hey! Watch where you're firing that thing numbuh 35!" He screamed while avoiding one of the tentacles
"Sorry numbuh 60!" Bartie said sadly diving behind the tree nearest to him as a tentacle flung itself after him
Meanwhile 86 was shooting a T.H.U.M.P.E.R. at the guy as a little squirrel ran out in front of her "Oh, move little squirrel, last thing I want is to hit y-" a tentacle grabbed her face and pulled her toward the man, Patton ran toward Rewind and pulled him backwards, the tentacle dropped a crying Fanny and she fell to her knees screaming "No Grayson! Don't do it! Don't!" Patton punched Rewind and ran over to Fanny pulling her out of the way of the battle zone.
He got her over to the trees and then was grabbed by one of Rewind's tentacles, he was only held for a second before Rachel and Bartie attacked Rewind and ripped his equipment apart. A bloodcurdling scream made Rachel, Bartie, and Rewind look up and Fanny stop crying.
Patton was on his knees with his face in his hands; he was bawling and screaming about his dad. Fanny stood up and nodded toward Bartie and Rachel, gesturing to them to call Arctic Prison to come and arrest Rewind. She walked over to Patton and helped him toward the S.C.A.M.P.P.E.R.
Later….
Patton was lying in his bed crying into his pillow, he wasn't one who cried a lot but he never thought he'd have to relive that memory. Rewind was a very bad villain because he had made a machine that made people relive their worst memories. There was a knock at the door and it creaked open "Patton?"
Fanny walked into Patton's line of vision "Are you okay?"
He nodded and rolled over so he was facing the window. He felt a weight on the side of the bed as Fanny climbed in "What are you doing 86?"
"Shut up. What did Rewind make you see?"
Patton glared at the redhead for a minute before rolling over to face her "The last memory of my dad before he died."
"What?"
"Right before my dad left for the base he promised he would be home for my birthday but he never was. I told him he wouldn't be and told him I hated him and didn't care if he never came home."
"Oh my god, Patton I doubt your dad took you serious…"
"It doesn't matter! The last thing I said was 'I hate you and don't care if you never come home'!" Patton wiped his eyes as Fanny wrapped her arms around him and laid her head on his chest "You must think I'm a baby, crying like this."
"No, everyone has the right to cry, I'm not like my dad."
"The one I've never met." Patton said slightly laughing
"And hopefully never will." Fanny frowned
Patton wrapped his arms around her and whispered in her ear "What did you see? You were screaming something about Grayson."
Fanny sighed "I was remembering the day Grayson died."
"What?"
"Yeah, Bridget through the ball to me and I didn't catch it so it rolled into the street and Grayson went to get it even though he knew he wasn't suppose to go out in the street. I didn't tell him not to! I should have gotten an adult or stopped him but I didn't and…"
She buried her face in Patton's chest and cried "You know, it wasn't your fault Fanny."
"I still remember one of the last things he said to me. He was telling me why he called me Fan."
"Fan? That his nickname for you or something?"
"Yeah, I always hated my name. I mean, I have the most retarded name ever! Paddy's real name is Patrick and Shaunie's is Shawn! Mine is...Francesca... Grayson called me Fan because it sounded cool."
Fanny looked up, at expecting him to laugh. Patton grinned "Okay Fan."
"What?"
"I'll call you Fan if you want; I think it's kinda cute."
The Irish girl stayed quiet for a moment before hugging the boy around the neck "You know, you are insanely sweet."
"It's called manners...and being a friend."
The two fell asleep like that and had to explain to Rachel and Bartie in the morning why they were like that.
This one took a lot of thought. Review!
