A/N: Sometime after metal attraction, I'll get to making more original chapters again. And that's all I got.
Now without further ado.
LET'S ZOOM THE COSMOS!
Miko was sitting in detention, reading a book titled "World History". She put the book down, and released a sigh of boredom. "Detention." She said with an equal amount of boredom in her voice, and laid her head on her desk after that. But that boredom came to an end, when she heard the hum of a car engine, and heavy metal music playing. She looked out the window and saw Bulkhead parked outside, waiting for her. This brought a smile to her face. She looked to see the teacher, distracted with reading the paper. Bulkhead was singing to the music he was playing on his radio; not long after that, Miko climbed into his passenger seat. "I love this song!" She said while singing and dancing to it too.
"Miko, I thought you had a history report to do. Did detention end early?" Bulkhead asked, interrupting her fun.
Miko fastened her seatbelt and said. "Did for me. Uh-oh. Here comes teacher, and she doesn't look happy. Step on it Bulkhead!" Proving that she snuck out of detention. And the fact she tried hiding in the passenger seat, didn't really help her case.
Ah, Miko." Bulkhead said in a disappointed manner, and drove out of the parking lot after that. Bulkhead continued driving down the road, toward base. "Miko, I'm supposed to be your guardian, not your getaway car. You can't just cut the tension. What if your parents found out?"
"They live in Tokyo, remember? And don't even worry about my host parents. I think I scare them." She attempted to reassure Bulkhead.
Miko, listen... If you fail High School, you can't go to, uh... Uni- Uh, it's "Keys" - Uh, "Codge" - wait, wait. W-What's that word again? Bulkhead tried to pronounce it, as they entered the base.
"Uh, college?" Miko guess that was the word he was trying to say. She then got out of Bulkhead's cockpits, so he could transform. "Ugh, you sound like my parents." She said to him.
"Well, aren't they Japanese?" He asked.
They may speak a different language, but you say the same thing." She pointed out.
"Because we want the best for you. And that means making sure you go to school, not jail." Bulkhead replied.
"Uh-oh. What'd you do?" Jack said to his girlfriend in a playful manner, while standing in the human area of the base.
"This surprises you? She's your girlfriend, after all." Markus said to Jack, while lounging on the couch. Even though, with the exception of agent Fowler, the human members of Team Prime seemed more like a kid's club, and Markus was an adult, well into his twenties. He still like hanging out with them, since they were his friends. And that went double for Molly, especially since she was their age. But mostly, Jack's age.
"Look, Miko. Before I became a warrior, I was a laborer- Construction. I can build stuff. I can break stuff. And that's it." Bulkhead said to her, while taking a kneeling position.
"I love breaking stuff. I want to be just like you, Bulk." She responded.
Bulkhead released a sigh, because she was missing the point. "Why would you want to be like me when you could be a- a medic, like Ratchet?" Bulkhead tried using as an example.
A beeping sound went off on their computers. I'm detecting a fresh Energon pulse, from the nation called... Greece. An ancient city - quite historic, I believe." Ratchet informed.
That gave Bulkhead an idea. "Ancient Greece, huh? Oh, field trip."
The Nemesis
"It about time, Knockout. I do not enjoy being kept waiting." Starscream said, standing at the bridge of the ship.
Seconds later, Knockout, the resident medic of the Decepticons, came in the room. He was a Decepticon sporting red flashy armor. He gave a sigh before speaking. "It was a long drive, Starscream. I'm still picking bugs out of my grille."
"Yes, right. You're one of those." Spoke Starscream.
"Come again?" Knockout ask.
"Never understood why any self-respecting Decepticon would choose automobile as his vehicle mode, when he could have flight." Starscream commented.
"I like the way I look and steel-belted radials." Knockout answered. They began their walk to the med bay. "I take it Lord Megatron requires a laboratory assist."
"You...Might say that." Starscream answered as the med bay doors opened, revealing Megatron on a slab, hooked up to wires and life support, with a gaping hole in his chest.
"Whoa." Knockout commented at the mere sight of that.
Meanwhile; a Ground Bridge opened at the ruins of that ancient Greece city, with Bulkhead driving through, and the portal closing behind him. "Here we are." He said while opening his door, letting Jack and Miko out. Jack didn't have to accompany them, but on the other hand, he only recently became Miko's boyfriend. And you know how it is, once you become a couple for the first time, you want to spend as much time with each other, as you can.
"Sweet!" Miko chanted as bulkhead transformed, afterwards. "So, what are we doing in Greco-Ville?" She questioned with enthusiasm.
"I'm scouting Energon. You're doing research for your history report." Bulkhead answered while using his handheld scanner.
Realization dawned on Miko, that this was more of an educational trip, than a thrill ride. "You punked me, Bulk? Not cool." She said. "And besides, if I have to learn anything about history. You're an alien, Jack. Can't you just tell me something about your home planet? Or you know, Bulkhead could just tell us about the history of Cybertron."
This caused a look of annoyance to grow on Jack's face. Even though they just became a couple, there was still so much she didn't know about him, which he was trying to rectify. "Miko, I'm only half-alien. I was born on Earth. And I already told you, I was born and raised by a human mother." Jack reminded his girlfriend.
"Well you could have fooled me. You fly, you're super strong and you're durable as heck." She commented.
"That's because I also told you that since I'm half-Viltrumite, I have extremely dominant genetics, that if we procreate with any species of similar evolution, like say, humans for example, our future children become more Viltrumite than anything else. Especially in powers and appearance." He educated his girlfriend.
Hearing her boyfriend inform her of that last part, made her a little nervous. "Okay, that's a little more information and than I needed. But seriously, Jack. What's your other ancestral planet like?"
"First of all, Miko. It's called Viltrum. If you're going to have me talk about it, then use its proper name." He said to her.
"Fine. What was Viltrum like?" She said in an annoyed, but clarified voice.
"It doesn't exist anymore." Jack educated her further. That brought a look of surprise to her face. "Yeah, that's the second thing. Years ago, the original Invincible and his friends destroyed it. It was a difficult decision, but it had to be done. But anyway, it doesn't bother me. It was before my time. I only know all this, because my dad told me before he left us."
In a way, Miko couldn't help feeling bad, knowing that in order to stop the Viltrumites from invading, they had to lose their home. But on the bright side, the Viltrumites weren't the bad guys anymore. Now that, that small history lesson was out of the way, there was something else she needed to ask Jack. "Jack, why are you wearing your suit?" She was gesturing to his costume, that he chose to wear before coming there.
"Well for you it's a history field trip. But for Bulkhead, it's a mission. So there's a chance we could run into Decepticons. And I don't want them seeing my face." He said to her.
"Hmm, signal's strong. An excavation site." Bulkhead observed, seeing excavating equipment to at the site.
"Whoa." Miko responded.
"I know construction. According to my scanner, humans hit Energon veins, and they don't even know it." Spoke Bulkhead. He took a look at the ancient painting on the wall, and recognized it. "Whoa. That's Cybertronian."
The Nemesis
Sadly, our inevitably former Lord Megatron has been like this for some time. But the crew took a vote, and it was decided that an expert might put him on the road to recovery." Starscream said to Knockout.
"I've done plenty of body work, Starscream, but I'm better at breaking them than fixing them." Knockout said, briefly turning his arm into a drill to make emphasis on what he said. "It would help if I had my assistant."
"I summoned both of you. Where is he?" Starscream asked.
"We were hot on a fresh Energon trail when you called. Breakdown will show when he's through scouting it." Knockout reassured him.
Meanwhile; back with Bulkhead and the others. "Why would ancient Greeks paint an Energon harvester?" Bulkhead wondered.
"You know what that round thing is?" Miko said, then took a picture with her phone. "You're smarter than you let on."
"But even dumber than he looks." They heard a voice say, and turned around to see who said that.
Standing a few yards away from them, was a Decepticon with blue armor, who was just as big and strong as Bulkhead. He was Bulkhead's arch enemy, Breakdown. "Breakdown." Bulkhead said with spite.
Breakdown released a chuckle, before speaking. "Miss me?"
"Like rust in my undercarriage." Bulkhead remarked.
"You know this long head?" Miko asked.
"We have a history." Bulkhead answered.
"And you have a pet." Breakdown said, while releasing another chuckle. "Does it play catch?" He then ripped a pillar out of the ground. "Catch." He said, and threw it at Miko.
"Miko, look out!" Jack said, flying in front of the incoming pillar, and taking the blow for her. He was sent flying a few yards away, crashing into a mountain.
"JACK!" Miko shouted with concern for her boyfriend.
"Miko, stay down!" Bulkhead ordered, trying to keep her safe. At that moment, Jack flew back into the battlefield and punched Breakdown in the face so hard. It wasn't enough to knock him off his feet, but it did push him back a bit.
"I've took a beatings from bigger guys than you. But that really hurt, pal." Jack said with anger in his voice. "And that was my girlfriend you almost flattened. And you're gonna pay for that." He said as a follow-up.
Breakdown wiped some freshly spilled Energon, bleeding from his lips. For an organic, he sure hits hard. "Ah, so you must be this "Invincible" I've heard so much about. Well you impressed me kid, I'll give you that. But I've got bigger fish to fry, and it ain't you." Breakdown said, swatting Jack away. This time, Jack was the one that leaking blood from his face. Miko docked for cover as Breakdown tackled Bulkhead. Then he threw Bulkhead into the ancient painting, destroying it. "Oops. Hope the pretty picture wasn't too important." He said in a joking manner, transformed into his vehicle mode and drove away.
Bulkhead set up after being a knocked on his keister. "Told you I'm good at breaking things." He said, referring to the painting.
"I always have your back, Bulk. Got us a picture of the picture." Miko said, showing him the picture she took on her phone. Jack walked beside her, shaking his head, still recovering from the hit he got from Breakdown. He saw the picture she took on her phone, and was impressed.
"Nice one, babe." Jack said, placing his arm around her shoulder.
It made Miko a little nervous that he was using pet names this early in their relationship. But she rolled with it. "Oh, you know it." She said back, while wrapping her arm around him too.
The team was going over the picture back at base, a little while later. "It is indeed an Energon harvester - A powerful tool created by the ancients to remove raw Energon from any source." Optimus verified, while looking at the humans.
"Greek gods knew Autobots?" Raf questioned.
"No. The ancients often used the art of a given era to conceal messages. This fresco was likely a signpost indicating a harvester's location hidden somewhere on this planet." Optimus informed them.
"Uh, Optimus, if the harvester removes Energon from anything, and you all have Energon pumping inside you..." Jack wondered with concern for his friends.
"In Decepticon hands, the harvester would be a devastating weapon." Optimus confirmed Jack's suspicions.
"See? You were a genius to Total that painting." Miko complimented Bulkhead.
"Miko's not wrong. How can the cons find the harvester without the fresco?" Arcee added.
"With high-speed internet." Raf said, getting their attention. "If you do an image search for "Greek god" and "golden orbs," this pops up. It's in a museum." He showed them the results on his laptop.
"That the real deal?" Arcee ask their leader.
Optimus confirmed her question with his next words. "Contact agent Fowler." They tried giving him a call, but only managed to get his voice recording. Ironically, Ratchet voiced how much he hated talking to machines. "Without agent Fowler's direct aid, we will have to confiscate the harvester on our own." Optimus announced.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa. "Confiscate"? As in steel museum property?" Jack asked, not feeling cool with that.
"That sounds... Illegal." Raf added.
"I do not wish to break human law, but once the Decepticons learn of the harvester's location, they will not hesitate to obtain it by any means necessary. We must act covertly." Optimus instructed.
"Okay, n-no offense, Optimus, but covertly and giant robots don't really go together. Museums are public. A-and they have guards and security cameras." Jack voiced his concerns.
"No problem! We're small enough to sneak in. And we are not a government secret." Miko pointed out.
"Miko, I'm not sure that's wise." Commented Bulkhead.
"But it may be our best option, Bulkhead. How long are we debate, the more time we give the Decepticons." Optimus reasoned.
"Well if it's to help our friends, then you know we're in." Markus stated.
"No question about it." Molly commented.
Unfortunately; in the other neck of the woods, the Decepticons did their own search on the harvester, which Breakdown confirmed to be the same thing he saw in that painting. So Starscream decreed that they would put a pin on Megatron's well-being, and acquire the harvester first.
Meanwhile; the Autobots drove to the museum in the brink of night, during closing hours. "Autobots, confirm position." Optimus said.
"Westward ho." Arcee stated, covering the west side in motorcycle form. Bumblebee made some beeps, indicating that he was taking care of the east side.
"South side covered." Bulkhead said.
"And we've got the roof." Markus said, as he and Molly stood guard on the roof.
"Maintain your guard. Jack, Miko, Rafael, I will have a clear view of you. Once you secure the harvester, I will contact Ratchet to bridge you back to base." Optimus instructed them.
Ratchet activated the Ground Bridge. "Now, since bypass All points of normal entry, you won't need to worry about setting off the alarm. But take care to avoid any security guards." Ratchet instructed them.
The Ground Bridge opened inside the museum, with the kids exiting and riding a motorized hoist to carry the harvester back, has the Ground Bridge closed behind them. They looked around the room. "Opa!" Miko said, once they spotted the harvester. Optimus flashed his headlights at them, from outside, signaling them to proceed. They did as instructed. They approached the camera above them, they were about to use the hoist to raise themselves to it, but that's when Jack had a better idea. He swept Miko in his arms, and lifted her properly behind the camera.
"Just trying to be a good boyfriend." He said with a sly tone. This caused Miko to blush. She then took a picture of the harvester, and hung her phone upside down on the camera, fooling the guard in the security office.
"Thanks, babe." Miko said in a flirty manner and kissed Jack on the cheek, while still in his arms.
It was his turn to blush, this time. "Anytime." He responded in an equally flirty manner. Miko drove the hoist over to the harvester, while Raf activated his Tech Jacket; he and Jack flew toward the harvester, so they could use their strength to lift it and place it on The voice.
Suddenly; red sports car parked next to Optimus. He gave a whistle, before speaking. "Sweet rims. 24 gauge? Your real heavy-duty. Just like my friend here." The red sports car was Knockout, and the friend he was referring to was Breakdown. Breakdown drove behind Optimus, rotated the turret on his roof and fired a missile at him. Optimus caught the missile, trying to hold it with all his might, as it pushed him back against the glass window of the museum, cracking it just a little bit. The next thing Optimus, he was taking an electric prod to the neck by Knockout. Optimus fell to the ground, and Knockout jumped on his back, continuing to electrocute him in the neck.
The kids saw the whole thing from inside. "It's Cons." Raf said with panic.
"They got Optimus." Jack said. Knockout ceased with the prodding for a moment, then flashed his headlights at Breakdown, signaling for him to move in. Breakdown started charging his way in. Then Bumblebee started driving toward Breakdown, until Breakdown shot his missile at him, causing him to transform and roll on the pavement. He then shot a missile at Arcee, who was also approaching him. She managed to dodge it, but she accidentally ran into Bumblebee, who was still rolling on the ground, which caused them both to fall down.
"Hey, get off him!" Molly said from the roof, telling Knockout to get off Optimus. She and Markus tackled knockout, but their super strength. Bulkhead jumped from the roof, running towards Breakdown. Breakdown transformed, and soft Bulkhead in the face so hard, it sent him flying into a Knockout, Molly and Markus, that they went flying and demolished a pillar outside of the museum. This caused the alarm to go off, alerting the security guard in the process. Jack and Raf loaded the harvester on to the hoist, immediately after that. Outside museum; Knockout recovered and jumped at Optimus with his prod. Only for Optimus to swat him away, eliminating his chance.
Raf deactivated his Tech Jacket as he, Jack and Miko lower themselves and the harvester, on the hoist. "Come on. Time to make our exit, boys." Miko exclaimed. They made their way down a hallway, looking for an exit. Miko spotted a button on the wall and pushed it, opening an automated door, for them to escape through. Miko went through the door, but a flashlight was now shining in her face, held by the security guard. She tried talking her way out of this. "Uh... What's up?"
"Better come with me, Miss." The security guard said, pulling her into his office.
The boys saw the whole thing. "Not good." Said Jack. Then; through the halfway open door, they saw the legs of a giant robot. "Arcee!" Jack said, thinking it could be her, they ran to them. Unfortunately; the bot who opened the door the rest of the way, was none other than Soundwave.
"It's Soundwave." Raf said.
Soundwave took the harvester, turned into jet mode, proceeding to fly away with it. "Oh no you don't!" Jack exclaimed, zooming into his Invincible suit, flying after him. Raf activated his Tech Jacket again, joining him in the chase. Optimus saw Soundwave taking off in the air, with Jack and Raf holding on to his wings, bruising them with their strength, trying to get him to drop the harvester. What they were doing was really hurting him, but only lasted for about half a minute, before he did a barrel roll, swatting them both off of him. He flew away after that.
Once Knockout saw him fly away, that's when he chose to speak. "That would be game." He said, gloating over their victory. He and Breakdown transformed, and drove away after that.
The Autobots were about to go after them, until Jack spoke to them through their comms. "The cons have the harvester!"
He and Raf ran toward the Autobots. "And security has Miko!" Raf said as a follow-up.
This caused concern from Bulkhead. "What? I'm going in after her."
"Bulkhead, Miko may be detained, but she is safe from harm." Optimus advised.
Back in the security office, the guard was at beginning his interrogation with Miko. "Look, kid, if this is some kind of prank, you need to know that the authorities are on their way. It'd go a whole lot easier for you if you just told me what happened to the sphere."
"I was researching my history report. I just lost track of time and got locked in here after closing." She told him as an excuse.
"So what's your history report about? I'd love to know." Said the guard.
Uh..." Miko said, trying to think of a good excuse.
Meanwhile; as morning came, Optimus had Arcee and Bumblebee patrol for the Energon harvester. "In all likelihood, Starscream will use the harvester to gather as much Energon as quickly as he can from the planets otherwise unmineable Energon deposits. Approach with extreme caution. Starscream will not hesitate to turn the harvester on any one of us. Bulkhead, it is best that you remain here." Optimus issued.
"So I can bust Miko out of the museum?" Bulkhead hoped.
"So you can help Ratchet. You may be Miko's guardian, but she requires human assistance. Agent Fowler remains her best option." Optimus advised, and drove through the Ground Bridge. They tried giving Fowler another call, but again, they only reached his voice recording.
"Still no answer." Raf informed them.
"Fowler's lounging around some poolside cabana." Bulkhead assumed, and smashed one of Ratchet's tools and frustration.
"Bulkhead! I needed that!" Ratchet exclaimed.
"We can free Miko if we can just return that harvester to the museum." Bulkhead pitched as an idea.
"So the Decepticons can steal it all over again?" Ratchet queried.
This caused Bulkhead to see his point. "I am so dumb!"
"So how are we going to help Miko?" Jack asked Ratchet. Right now, Jack wanted to help Miko more than anyone. And it wasn't just because she was his girlfriend, but that was a big reason.
"By returning this replica to the museum." Ratchet said, showcasing an incomplete replica in his hand, that he was in the middle of completing. "The construction of which would be going a whole lot faster if Bulkhead had hadn't just mangled my frame welder!
"We're already trespassers and thieves. Why not add forgery to the list?" Jack said with a little sarcasm.
"I wish I'd never taken Miko to the - The painting of the harvester isn't the only thing we found at those ruins." Bulkhead remembered and stated.
"I'm sorry?" Ratchet didn't understand where he was going with this.
"Starscream's not dumb. No matter what kind of tool he has, he's gonna take the easy route." Bulkhead answered.
"Don't worry, Ratchet. I'll help you finish that replica. And who needs a frame welder...?" Raf said, taking a dramatic pause, while extending the plating of the Tech Jacket on his arms to form welders, without activating the entirety of the armor. "When you've got the most powerful and versatile weapon in the universe?!"
Meanwhile; at the Greek ruins, Starscream and his troops were scouting for Energon. "Why move mountains now when we have a mother lode of Energon right here for the taking - courtesy of this gift from ancient Autobots?" Starscream exclaimed, while holding the harvester in his hand.
"Uh, actually, Commander Starscream, it was a gift from Breakdown and myself." Knockout commented.
Starscream released a sigh of annoyance, and pointed the harvester right at them. Breakdown and Knockout coward in fear, as Starscream shot at them with the beam from the Energon harvester. But he wasn't aiming for them; he shot one of his true, who was becoming drained by the beam. Starscream smiled from promising results. The trooper I continued to lose Energon, until he fell over, dying from Energon depletion. "All that Energon in such a tiny vessel." Starscream remarked.
"Those ancient Autobots never missed a trick, Lord Starscream." Said Knockout. Starscream pointed the harvester at them again. And again, they squirmed, thinking he was actually going to use it on them this time. But instead, he focused on draining the Energon from the nearby crystals. While they were distracted; Bulkhead & Invincible were trying to get the drop on them, from behind.
It was going great; until Bulkhead stepped on something, making a loud noise, drawing their attention to them. "Oh, scrap!" Bulkhead cursed.
"Back for seconds?" Breakdown said, has he in Knockout unholstered their hammer and electric prod respectively, charging at them.
"Yeah, but you guys aren't the main course." Invincible exclaimed. Invincible slammed his fist into Breakdown's face and grabbed him by the leg, carrying him in the air. "Bulkhead, duck!" Bulkhead did as instructed, as Invincible swung Breakdown at Knockout, slamming his hammer fist into his face. Knocking them both unconscious.
The next thing they knew, Starscream shot the Energon harvester at Bulkhead, draining of his Energon. Bulkhead fell to his knees, as a result. "You're a big one. This could take a while." Starscream said.
Even though Bulkhead was getting drained, fast, he still began to walk forward. "I'll take that." Invincible said; rushing towards Starscream, squeezing his wrist so hard, till he dropped it from all the pain. Invincible I picked it up, immediately after.
"Hey kid. Mine hand in that over?" Bulkhead asked Invincible.
"Not at all, big guy." She replied, handing it to Bulkhead.
The moment Bulkhead received it, he started squeezing it between his hands. Starscream took notice of this. "Wait, what are you doing?!" He asked with concern.
"What I do best... Breaking things." Responded Bulkhead. He started crushing it in his hands, until it's energy was seeping out, emanating a bright blue light. He then threw it in the sky, watching it explode. No one should have that power, Bulkhead knew that now. He fell on his back, once that was done.
Knockout and Breakdown recovered, and were standing over Bulkhead with their weapons at the ready. "He's a glutton for punishment." Knockout said, as Breakdown released a chuckle in response.
But they heard someone clear their throat, and looked to see Invincible, floating in front of them. "I wouldn't if I were you." He stated while cracking his knuckles, in emphasis.
The two Decepticons gave a laugh, before Breakdown spoke. "You know what kid? You're tough, okay, we both acknowledge that. But there's two of us, and only one of you. Even if you managed to beat us, I'm sure it'll be quite a hassle for you."
Luckily; at that moment, a Ground Bridge opened and the Autobots arrived, shooting their weapons at them. Breakdown asked his partner if they should fight. But Knockout was more in favor I'm driving away. So that's what they did. Even Starscream flew the coop when things got too heavy for him. The Autobots approached the downed Bulkhead, checking on his well-being. "Hey." Was all he said, before laying his head back down.
Meanwhile; back at the museum, Miko continue to tell her supposed history report to the security guard. "And of course there's the whole principle of Deus Ex Machina, uh, the god from the machine. It's that part in Greek storytelling where some characters shows up out of the blue to make everything right." She gave a fist pump at that last part. Of course the security guard wasn't really buying it, in fact he was getting kind of tired from just hearing all this.
"That's so young lady? Well, I'm sure the police will want to hear all about your history report." The security guard said.
At that moment, a knock on the door was heard. And in walked agent Fowler. He showed his badge to the guard, and began his speech. "Special agent William Fowler. The stolen property has been located and restore to museum premises." The security guard checked the monitor, and to his surprise, the sphere was back where it belonged. Little did he know, that it was actually the replica that they forged and replaced it with. Fowler got Miko to her feet and continued to speak. "The girl comes with me." He then pulled her cell phone out of his coat pocket. "You dropped your cell phone. Found it on the floor, right next to your history report." He finished his cover story, as they left the office. Once they left the museum, Miko was both happy, and surprised to see Bulkhead pull up in front of them. She looked to agent Fowler, as if asking him for permission with her eyes. "Off you go." He said to her.
She gave Fowler a thumbs up, then ran to Bulkhead's open cockpit, taking a seat in the passenger side. "Good timing, Bulk. I was running out of history factoids, stuff I didn't even know I knew!" She exclaimed with enthusiasm.
"Looks like you're smarter than you let on." Bulkhead commented.
"Under pressure." She replied.
"Me too." He said back.
He started driving out of the parking lot, and down the road, when Miko started speaking. "I can't wait to start my history report. I'm gonna write all about how the Autobots interacted with ancient civilizations."
"Uh, I'm not so sure that'll get you into college, Miko." Bulkhead reminded her.
"But first, Bulkhead. I got something I need to do first. And this is totally important." She said to him.
"Well what could be more important than your history report?" He asked her.
A few hours later
That important thing she spoke of, was hers and Jack's first date. He basically flew her all over the world, for their first dates. They went to Paris, Rome, Italy, Greece, even Germany and various other places. Their last destination was Hawaii. They were sharing a drink and a tiki mug, while holding hands. They weren't holding hands in a cutesy lovey-dovey kind of way. But just a normal way. Although; it was in a somewhat cute manner. "You know, Jack. I think depending on how far we go with this, that at some point, we should visit Japan someday. Be nice for you being my parents. And I haven't even met your mom yet."
That made him a little nervous to hear, he almost choked on the drink. After he recovered, that's when he began to speak. "Don't worry, Miko. It'll be plenty of time for that, in the future. Not the far, far future. But far enough. Look all I'm saying is that, we don't have to rush into anything. We should just take our time." Miko wasn't trying to move fast or anything, she was just saying it's an option.
"You're right. But there's something else I need to ask you, Jack."
"Okay, what is it?" He replied.
"Am I really enough for you?" Miko asked him.
This throttle look of surprise to his face. "What are you talking about?"
"Oh come on, Jack. You're in all powerful alien, who can go into space, and I will live for thousands of years. I'll be lucky if I can even make it to 100. Maybe you'd be better off with Molly? I mean, even though it wasn't official, because you guys were kids and we're only together for 5 days. She'll live just as long as you, maybe longer even. And she's not as fragile, as a regular human like me. Besides, once I graduate, my student visa is going to expire, and I'll have to go back to Japan. What then?"
"Miko, that's enough! It doesn't matter to me whether you're human, or another Viltrumite. As hard as it may sound, especially since you've been driving me crazy ever since we first met, I like you because of who You are. And sometimes you're such a spitfire, that I occasionally think you could be a Viltrumite in spirit, if not in body. And Molly and I had a good thing going, All things considered. But we were just children, we didn't grasp the entirety of love. I'm just glad that regardless of that, she and I can still stay friends. As for when you'll have to go back to Tokyo, I can fly anywhere in the world. So you can be darn sure I'll visit you whenever I can. I like you, Miko. I really do. And I choose to be with you." He said while holding her hand more lovingly.
Everything he said was melting her hearts. She could tell he meant every word of that. "Okay, I believe you." She said to him.
"Good." Was all he said.
"But we're going to stay in Hawaii for a little while longer before we have to go home, right? Because there's still so much I want to do, so much I want to see." She asked him in a hopeful manner.
"Of course. It's our first date after all. So we run the right to spoil ourselves." Hey said.
"Okay, now I know for sure. I really like-like you." She said to him in a sweet manner.
"Tell me something I Don't know." He responded in an equally sweet tone. They both went in for a kiss, did so with passion.
A/N: If some of you noticed I posted this before it was finished, I was just trying to get this finished in time, and it ended up taking me all day. And if some of the grammar seems sloppy, because of all the hyphens I added, then just know, I was only following the readings of the captions of the episodes. And I was watching it on Netflix because the captions are a little more thorough on that, than they are on YouTube. And my Netflix privileges expire on the 2nd of July, so you can understand my hustle against time.
Mostly the reason I was putting so much stock into this chapter, was because I just posted the last one earlier today, and I only had a short amount of time before midnight. So I wanted to say that I posted it on the same day as the last one. I hope that not all of this chapter, or that of the previous chapters, is too boring. I really put a lot of effort and stock in these recent chapters. But everyone knows, nothing ever turns out well, when you're rushing it.
