HELP I'M A FISH !!!!!
It was a peaceful December morning at the hunter HQ.
Alone in his room, X awoke as the first rays of the sun danced across his face. Grumbling about the solar interference, he pulled the blind down and went back to sleep for several more hours.
Several hours later, X then decided to actually get up and face the day....or what remained of it.
"Hnmmmm..ahhh" he yawned, getting up out of bed and making his way to the kitchenette.
As he was pouring himself a glass of orange juice , he glanced over at the calender hanging on the wall.
"Ahh Christmas , only three more days I can hardly wait." he sighed, thinking of how quiet it would be here with all the other hunters gone for the holiday. No training, no meetings, no fighting crazed Mav's...just peace and..
"SHIT!!" X cried , shaking his leg which was now soaking with the orange juice he had forgot he'd been pouring.
"Ah...geez..."
"Hey X !.." A voice called.
"In here Douglas..."
A reploid in green armor dashed in "X..guess wh...yeesh...what happened to you?" he asked taking in the others soaked pants. "Have a little accident in bed?"
X glared up at him, "You had something to show me?" he replied.
"Oh ya, check this out.." he held up a picture for X to see.
X eyes widened as a grinned swept his face, "OH man Douglas...it's perfect. Heh heh heh....boy is Zero ever gonna be surprised."
"I'll say, but we better hurry, or we'll never make the evening edition." Douglas shouted running out the door.
"I'm right behind you " X called out following his friend to the door.
********************************
"Hello" Dr. Cain answered one of the many phones in his office.
"Daddy!" a woman's voice cried.
"Pumpkin!" Dr. Cain replied just as enthusiastically. " How are you sweety?"
"I'm great Daddy and guess what...."
RING RING
"Hold on honey.." Cain said, grabbing another phone. "Hello, hunter HQ"
"Hello Cain...it's Dr. Light"
"Dr. Light..!"
RING RING.
"Oh just a sec.....Hello, hunter HQ"
"Hello, Miss I'm With Windows R us with a special Christmas offer for..."
"I Not a Miss, you fool..!"
RING RING
"Oh not now..hold on...Hello, Dr. Cain speaking.."
"Greetings vile human scum, It is I Sigma,....your doom. At noon on Christmas day all in the Hunter HQ shall perish in.........?...Hello.....Hello?....oh can you believe that...he put me on hold"
RING RING
RING
RING Ring
"Oh" Cain sighed grabbing a receiver and taking the hold button off. "Sorry about that, Light. Is it really you.? I mean....your supposed to be dead?
"What...Daddy!..."
Beep beep
"Hold on..." Cain hit the hold button on the other phone, "Look, Sigma if you threaten us again, I'll send the entire Hunter collective out after you, right to you door to kick your ass..got it"
"So does that mean you don't want the window miss?"
"AHH Your not Sigma !!"
"Does he want the window deal?"
"NO!"
Are you sure?"
"Ahhh "
Click.
Cain flung the phone down, "actually I wish it was Sigma, he's easier to deal with." he grabbed another receiver, "Hello, sorry there Pumpkin, but I gotta go ok? I'll talk with you later honey, bye bye..Daddy loves you"
CLICK
(AT Sigmas Fortress)
Sigmas is something wrong?" Vile asked coming up from behind him.
Sigmas hung the phone up. "Sniff...Daddy loves me!" he cried hugging his bucket wearing companion.
(Back to Cain's office)
Cain gabbed the final phone "Hello?"
"Dad....finally...I just wanted to tell you that..."
"Oh I see" Cain said , his brows raising "oh..un huh...ok...bye bye honey.." He hung the phone up giving a heavy sigh. He was defiantly gonna need some help in this matter. He rang a buzzer on the side of his desk and a moment later a young reploid stood outside his door. "You called sir?"
"Yes.." he replied rubbing his eyes "Get me Zero, and X I need to talk with them immediately.
*********************************************
"HA ha ha ...oh man...I can't believe you two did that!" Alia, laughed as the group sat together at one of the many tables in the crowed cafeteria. X and Douglas elbowed each other in the ribs for a job well done as they ate their dinner. All around them, fellow hunters were reading the evening edition of the hunter HQ chronicle, as bursting into fit's of laughter . Their little joke was in full swing.
"I..know.." X giggled. "But man I can't wait to see the look on Zero's face !!"
THWAM!!!!
The room went silent as the doors were thrown open.
"Alright who did this!!" Zero roared storming into the cafeteria, waving about a copy of the HQ paper, there on the front page, in bold letters for all to see was the heading:
Zero 's False Locks The truth about his Brun to Blonde switch.
The crimson hunter eyed the crowd dangerously. "I'll kill whoever wrote this!!!"
"Hey X" Iris commented "I think you should open your eyes if you wanna see the look on Zero's face
"Heh heh" X glanced uneasily at Douglas. "Come on we'd better wash the ink off fast" he hissed as they started to the door.
"X!!!!!" Zero snarled.
"Run !!" X yelped as he and Douglas took off though the door.
"Quick this way..OOOMMPH!!" Douglas, ran smack into Cain's messenger, as he turned the corner, followed by X who collied with them both.
The three of them lay sprawled out on the floor, before the young reploid pulled himself up and announced with as much dignity as was granted to him, that both X and Zero were requested to come to Cain's office at one.
"X !" Zero came around the corner, halting mere inches from the young reploid's face. "Commander Zero,.....You and Commander X are need in Cain's office ..."with that the repliod staggered off.
"Zero watched the boy go, before turning to X and Douglas with murder in his eyes.
"Um...Right to Cain's !!" X cried running to the office.
"Humph.." Zero grumbled, stalking past Douglas as he followed, he would have to clobber them later.
****************************************************
"Zero please calm down" Cain said "And stop pacing, really what is so upsetting to get to you like this"
Zero turned to glare at him " You saw the paper !"
"Yes"
"That is what's getting to me !! How dare anybody even think that I'm a fake .. I don't dye my hair, I'm a real blonde !!!!
Cain sighed he had called them here to discuss important matters at hand, but a certain crimson hunter was not to be quieted until he had his say.
"Zero don't you think your acting a bit stupid over a joke?" Cain asked.
But Doc, he's not acting......he's blonde........he really is that stupid!!" X cut in.
Zero, turned to X. "Thanks X... I'll handle it from here"
"But.."
"Out"
"Bu.."
OUT!"
"Ok.." X huffed heading for the door.
"Hold on you two I called you here for a reason." Cain interrupted the bickering pair.
"Go on.." Zero said. leaning against the door frame.
"Well it appears, that this Christmas ...the hunter HQ will be holding the annual Christmas play I need your help to get things ready.
Zero scoffed "Is that all....You want us to help with some crappy Christmas play...man I thought it would be something important"
" The play is very important Zero" Cain assured him. "Every year the money raised goes to help out those less fortunate."
"Uh huh" Zero shrugged "Alright is that it then..?"
"NO" Cain said " I also wanted to inform you of our guests, that will be arriving for Christmas"
"Guests?" X asked
"At the HQ..?" Zero stated "Who would be visiting here ...at Christmas ?"
"Well.." Cain answered "Aside from my daughter . I got a call from Dr. Light. X , your family is coming for a visit .
"Wha...?" X blinked "But....aren't they.....dead?....how..?"
"Hey it's a plot hole...deal with it" Cain shrugged .
Zero, snickered "I hope got your family a gift there X,"
"When Zero,....their supposed to be dead !"
"OH, and Zero.. Your brother Bass will be coming alone with them."
"WHAT!!" Zero gasped.
"Oi" X smacked his head.
"Come on X," Zero said cheerfully , he had apparently forgotten X's joke, as they left Cain's office. "You'd better get some rest, I guess we gotta go shopping tomorrow.
"Shopping two days before Christmas .....your crazy.." X groaned
"Oh come on X" Zero grinned " oh Jingle bells, Sigma smells, I bet Va va is a hag..."
X sighed so much for that peaceful holiday.
