Myush! I know I should be working on FMH, but I just couldn't help to write that kind of fluffy Spova story we all fans are loving when the idea poped in my mind. And yep, only 3 people actually forced me to write this sooner than update for FMH. And those people are Kg, Roler and Beth. You rock guys! Your reviews as first respond to my story really warmed my heart! And this story is supposed to be as "Thank you!" and dedicated only to YOU!!! I wouldn't really do this, but since you are the only ones who bothered to review so far, here it comes. :3

The time in here should be around Season 1 - 2. Not later.

I don't own the Hyper Force. If I would I would force Sprx to be man for once and make him confess after the Wormhole incident. He almost lost Nova there without letting her know his feelings - how possibly long he wants to wait yet?! But on the other hand I like it more when Nova confessed to him. Before her confess it was hard to actually say she was loving him all the time. All we knew was that she actually had a thing for that red monkey. Geesh! Those good good times. Tried to make a story in the backround of those times. xD

Enjoy.

Part one: The Bet

It was one of those normal days in the Shugazoom city. The weather was being today very cold and mean - from the big and dark clouds were falling the big dots of water, hitting the buildings, Super Robot, citizens or even umbrellas, or unfortunately ending on the ground. The loud and dangerous thunders meant no good sign for the people's mood - especially when a thunder accidentally ended up on already too wet Mr. Cheepers. The unending rain, the loud crashes of the thunders were reminding of the only female of the Monkey Team. She had a low temper and if she wasn't controling herself, she was actually being just like the thunder storm out there.

The golden female, watching the thunder storm outside the window, actually sighed at this fact. Her mood was not getting any better as she realized she can't go out because of the rainy weather. She was being bored by spending her time inside her room, well, to be completely honest - she was being bored by punching and smashing the red punching bag, imagining it was Sprx himself. She was doing it often, what was maybe the reason why she got bored of it now by doing it like hundredth time - but what was bothering her mind was that she was actually taking her anger out at the red crimson monkey, even if he didn't deserve it - well, for once.

She was always punching into the bag whenever she was feeling mad at him. But those last days he was not responding to her in any kind of that way - and yet she could easily beat the bag pretending it was Sprx. Her mind was confusing her ever since it hitted her - why was she imagining her red teammate as something she could beat up? It wasn't like she would be mad at him - for now. It made her stop right in the moment as this truth clicked in her - and thankfully, she stopped right before she could give the last big punch that would make the poor bag painfully hit the wall.

She wasn't feeling like herself thinking about Sprx when she wasn't angry at him - well, she was surprised she was not thinking about him like about the cocky idiot he is - for a change, she was thinking about him in a sympathy. She was feeling guilt sit up on her, and she even didn't know why. Well, it wasn't like she was hating him... she knew she didn't hate him, but also she knew sometimes he deserved every smack he got from her for a stupid comments.

She snapped her eyes open as another thunder came, the loud crashing sound actually waking her up from her thoughts. Who was she kidding? He always deserved a smack for being stupid. Right? Right...?

That was it. She started to doubt one thing she thought she was sure about from the first time she heard him say something like that. And this doubt meant a feeling of a regret for the red male. Nova knew how painful her hands sometimes could be. For itselfs it knows a several of now destroyed bags - after a bit of time her powerful hands could destroy them so much they were not useful anymore. Even her present bag knew it for now, and it knows every another bag in the store she buyed them from. She never thought about what was the red male actually thinking about her for doing that. Even if sometimes he deserved the pain caused from her hands, she felt much worser by imagining how it seriously must have hurt him everytime.

It was shocking her how was she thinking about him now. What was shocking her more was her wondering about what was he thinking about her for beating the crap out of him everytime she had the chance. She thought she was getting this junk in her head because of watching rain fall - something that would make feel sympathy even the cheerfull Otto. Well, of course he was feeling sympathy for all the dogs and cats without home and getting all wet and dirty out there in the streets. But what was worser was when he once took inside a few of them and it ended up catastrophally. Even if he meant it in a good way, he caused that whole main room had a dirty steps from their paws, bunch of dogs took the side of Sprx's roundy chair as a place where they can let out their needs and unfortunately, Gibson had to go trough the painfull claws of cats that felt his disgust for them.

She remembered that day too clearly. It caused her to chuckle everytime she saw Sprx's shocked, disgusted and furious face by finding it out. What was being more funny was his sulky and mad face when they kept laughing at it for it for a few days. He looked so cute when he was sulking. From what it looked like Nova went to another thoughts, it ended up with Sprx being- What the hell was she thinking? She wanted to seriously slap the punching bag right now, pretending Sprx was standing right in front of it. And that was another hint. What had he done after all? She shook her head, falling to one of her roundy chair she had in her room, right at the comfy plushies she had in there.

She felt more confused than ever. There was no point for her to feel guilt for smacking the red monkey. There was no point for her to think about what was he thinking about her for doing so. And there was absolutely no point why she started to think about him at all.

If there really is no point, why it poped in her mind after all? After a long sigh left her mouth, she realized she was overdoing it a bit. Okay, she was overdoing it a bit more. Scratch that, she overdid it a lot. She didn't hate him. It would be only better and more comfortable between them if she would act to him a little bit nicer, and wouldn't smack him all the time around. But, well, till he won't open his mouth. She couldn't believe the decision she had just made, but surprisingly, it made her feel better and content inside. Indeed, she was blaming the cold weather that was being out there. She was thinking about stupidities when she wasn't getting the fresh air from outside. All Nova wanted to do was make her thoughts go away, and so she needed it with doing something she had to concentrate on. She squeezed a bunch of her plushies before she left her room and her red bag that would sigh in relief if it could.

Chiro was being bored when it was over the training, so bored he agreed to Sprx's challenge in a video game. For first, it didn't look like a fun to him, since Sprx was losing almost in every game, and thought it would be funny to see his furious face once again when he'll lose. But he had no words to describe how much he got interested in it by seeing on the screen "Player 1 wins", what was for this time being the red monkey. For first, Sprx was truly being a challenge to him. But what was making him sulk was actually the fact his red friend was winning every game. No way he'd leave it like that.

Sprx on the other way was enjoying every win, letting Chiro know it sooner before the screen told it to him by jumping around him and screaming like a wild monkey in the jungle. The young leader was starting to get annoyed of it, but Sprx just couldn't leave it by only like that. Just after the 10th game Sprx had won, he started this ritual once again just right in the moment Nova came down in from the tube. Sprx was too busy to even notice her, and she couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at him as she couldn't forgive the question that poped into her mind. "Was I really thinking of being nicer to this oranghutan?"

"Hey Sprx," her sweet voice caused the red monkey froze on the place, "glad to see you're back to your old unintelligent self." He wasn't moving from the place, his hands on the air. From the transe woke him up a small pitiful laugh coming out from the boy's mouth. Sprx glared in his direction, before he put up a goofy smile on his face and turned to face the yellow female. "Actually, doll, I am celebrating here my 10th won against our lil'Chiro," he replied, making the lil' word sound louder, and his smirk grew widder after hearing an unacceptable sound coming from the boy. Nova raised an eyebrow, smiling, getting interested in the news as Otto getting interested in how babies born.

"You? Defeating Chiro? I thought you're not smart enough to find these cheats for yourself," Nova replied with a triumphal voice and she couldn't help to smile as Sprx's smirk lost his face. For first, Chiro was laughing at the comment, and then his eyes snapped open at the sudden fact that it could be truth. "And I thought you was a man, Sprx, even Otto didn't get this low when he was losing," both Nova and Chiro actually chuckled on it, but Sprx had-had it. He was getting furious. There were only three things that could touch him this deeply. First, when they were attacking his ego. Second, when they knew they were attacking his ego. And third, when Nova was attacking his ego.

"I was NOT cheating!" Sprx bursted out furiously from himself, his voice getting so high it surprised all of them. Suddenly Nova felt the guilt sit down on her once again and she hated to admit it, but she knew she actually hurted him with words. Nova looked away for the moment, and when she felt Sprx's eyes no more on her, she looked at his sulky face, what made her actually smile, leaving her a tingly feeling in her stomach. He went to sat up to his controller, ignoring that both of them were staring at him, as he crossed his arms and lost all the joy he was having moment ago.

"Sorry for destroying your triumphal," Nova started, actually making the red male snap in surprise, as he turned around to look at her, confusedly. Was Nova just about to apologize to him? Nova, realizing for herself she made it look too personal, cleared her throat as she looked down on the ground. "Next time I'll be like 'WOW, now that's a monkey with the moves!' " Nova replied, hightening her voice to a funny tone by saying that and inside hoping it will cheer up his ego. She felt an electricity ran down her spine as he actually smiled at that with both of his lips and eyes. "Goosh. She knows how to fix it up to him," thought Chiro happily as he realized there was no apologize he would have to make to the red monkey.

"Hey Novs, what about you would play with me to see I'm playing clear?" he asked her as a sparkle formed on his eye. She hummed out loud for a few of seconds. "No, Sprx. It's no fun when I know I will beat you up," she replied as she made her way to her chair, but Sprx was obviously taking 'no' as an answer he won't get pleased with.

"So let's make things more interessting," he started as he gazed up on her with the smiling eyes. He actually got Nova's attention after all. "Huh?"

"What about bet?" Nova was thinking for a second. "I don't have anything better to do anyway," she said to herself as she realized she had no mood for punching the bag anymore. The bag was saved for today.

"I'm listening," she replied as a smirk grew on her face as well, and Sprx grinned like a loon by her reply. "This is gonna end just badly," Chiro thought by seeing the look on Sprx's face.

"Well, in the case I'llwin, you're gonna have to give me a reward," Sprx started, keeping the grin on the face as Chiro freaked out of what is gonna pop to his mind right now. "Please, don't throw him to the mainscreen, please, don't throw him to the mainscreen..." repeated Chiro in his mind as he was much like pleading with puppy eyes to Nova. She was not getting his message the same way as she was not getting interessted at all. "And what that reward would be?" she pleaded to know as she found her eyes closing calmly, resting her chin on the one of her hands.

Sprx's smirk only grew. "You're gonna have to kiss me, Novs," just as he finished the sentence, both Nova and Chiro gasped out loud. Nova's eyes and mouth snapped open as she felt her cheeks burning up - but she wasn't sure if it was supposed to be from embarrasment, or from anger - she was so much in shock how he could dare to ask for such a thing. It took only seconds, before she was desperatly shaking her head with tight shuted eyes and with a blush forming upong her cheeks. "NO WAY!"

That was it. She thought she would snap at him much worser, but it looked like she couldn't bare herself to. But she was sure with one thing. She will not accept this bet.

Sprx, awaiting reply like this, only teasingly smirked in her direction as he raised an eyebrow at the female. "Aw, what is it, Novs? Are you scared of losing?" just as he thought, he pushed her in the corner. Nova, snapping out of her transe, opened her eyes surprisingly as she was starting to get furious. She didn't realize he said so on purpose so she would accept the bet. "Me, scared of losing with you? Only in your dreams, Sparky,"heightening the voice, she was glaring at him, as she saw him smile sheepishly upon the nickname she called him with. In other times it would make him furious, but not now.

Chiro was shocked by the reaction of the golden female as he knew she had much more low temper than Sprx had his ego. Thanks goodness, the mainscreen was still alive and that was better than anything. "Good one, Sprx," was his last thought as he was winking at him with the eye Nova couldn't see from the position she was sitting in.

It was taking a few of minutes to Nova to decide. She was arguing with her own mind. She didn't want to accept the bet, no, there was no way she would accept it, but also, what was there she could be afraid of? Sprx is a loser, no way he would beat her up in a video game. So there is no chance for him to win at all. She had closed eyes, trying to calm down, as she responded quietly this time. "What in the case I'm gonna win?"

"Since I choosed what my reward would be, to show you just how fair-play I play, you can choose anything as your reward," Sprx replied as he took his arms behind his head, the smirk never leaving his face. Nova still had closed eyes, but a smile formed upon her face. "Anything?"

"Anything," Sprx repereated, not realizing how evil smirk grew up on Nova's face. Oh, she was so not gonnaleave it easy. "Fine," standing up from the chair, she moved to his direction. "I am taking the bet," this reply was just the one Sprx wanted to hear. It made him smile like an idiot, like it was already over it and she was about to kiss him. "And in the case I'm gonna win, you're gonna have to do anything I'll say for a month," she said in deep and serious voice as the smirk lost Sprx's face again. "Uh..anything?" he asked nervously, causing Nova to smile. "Anything. I'll say take my chords, you're gonna do that. I'll say take Chiro's chords, you're gonna do that. I'll say clean up the patrol, you're gonna do that. I'll say clean Otto's mess in room, you're gonna do that. I'll say kiss Gibson, and you're gonna do that," Nova finished with triumphal yet evil smile as she saw Sprx frozen and Chiro fell on his back, doesn't holding the laughter anymore. "With one thing per a day."

"Hold up, sweetheart! That's not what I meant!" Sprx protested, actually panicking by the last sentence she said. Nova laughed. She knew she had win this time, there was no way Sprx would accept the bet now. He would be, oh so much more stupid than she already thought he was if he would. Sprx knew how much of torture it would mean being Nova's slave for a month. The girl would do anything to make it tough for him. She was being so cruelto him, trying to hide this fact with that amazing, cute and innocent smile shining up on her face and with those sparkling, freaking beautiful innocent buble-gum pink eyes. That was the way she was looking at him now. He was telling himself to not give into her innocent and cute expression, but his body, respective eyes couldn't resist her. Nova quickly changed her expression nervously by seeing that look once again on Sprx's face, feeling his sneaky eyes on her. "Take it or leave it," she shrugged as she turned around and made her way to the tube, much more like escaping to his gaze. She was sure he will not take it now anyways.

Sprx, on the other hand, couldn't imagine how ashamed he would feel if Nova would win, and whole Team would have another thing to laugh at, God knows for how long. But by another view on this situation, this was maybe the only way he could get a kiss from Nova, something she might not accept to ever again. His mind was screaming, trying to warn him of the female, but his heart was already melting as he wondered how her lovely lips tasted, his heart like jumping out of his chest as he was imagining the physical yet wonderful contact he could share with the girl he was liking for so long. And yet the chance she might like it a bit was another thing forcing him to accept. He ignored his mind as he stared at now leaving Nova. "I accept."

By hearing the voice coming out from ruby's mouth, Nova froze a few feet before the tube, feeling her heart sunk low in her stomach. She gulped. Chiro was also surprised of Sprx's accept, but actually grinning goofily to himself. "This is gonna be interessting."

Nova couldn't move. Sprx saw that she tensed up, what made him feel content. Nova felt some new feeling overtake her as she was thinking about the thing she was supposed to do if Sprx was going to win. Something she even couldn't imagine herself force to do, something she would never think about to ever do, something she knew she couldn't do. No way. She couldn't kiss Sprx. The very idea was making a shiver run down her spine, making her mouth dry and mind blank. She wanted to laugh when she realized she was actually having fear, but not of losing to Sprx, but of the kiss, and she couldn't force out of herself any laugh at all, after her mind clicked it was Sprx she would have to kiss. She slowly turned around just to meet Sprx's smiling, deep onyx eyes and she freaked out. She won't be able to kiss him. Nova thought about how disgusting it would be, yet painful and much more torture than what she wanted and would give him if she was going to win. Well, not at all. This was much worser than what she would do to him.

Sprx found himself gazing up at the female, scanning every part of her body as he ended up on her lips. He felt the need of his tail to start waving all the way around, but he was controling himself as he didn't want this to mess up. He was seeing her stand unmoving, her eyes staring into nothing as she was probably deeply thinking even if she wasn't alone in the room. This caused Sprx's attention. It was first time he saw her like this. It was first time he saw her hesitating of something so obvious like accepting to a bet. His heart beated desperadly inside of him as he realized what that could mean. She was hesitating because of the kiss.

Nova knew too well why Sprx had made up a bet like that. It was because of several reasons. He wanted to make her mad. He wanted her to do it because he knew how big suffer it would mean to her. It was like she would dare him to swim at least five meters under the watter, just because she knew he wouldn't be able to do that, how much hard it would be, how scared he would be of it. This was exactly the same thing. And for last, he made it up because he had that stupid alarm inside of his head that was turning on everytime he saw a pretty face, and getting a kiss from his only girl teammate was something the alarm was beeping at loudly in his head. He didn't probably care at all, the only thing he was thinking about was himself.

But in the case she will deny it, he will probably take her as a coward. The Team will probably take her as a coward. It was something she wouldn't stand. She couldn't let herself to think she was being a coward, not when it was about Sprx. There was nothing, absolutely nothing she could be afraid of what had anything to do with Sprx. Nothing.

Shutting tightly her eyes, it was like she was fighting with her own mind, own body, clenching up the fists, she managed to open her mouth even if all of her senses and instincts were denying it. "Fine, I do accept it," she replied with an annoyance in her voice, what Sprx seemed to doesn't notice, or doesn't mind it, when she accepted now for sure he wanted to jump in the triumph altogether with Chiro, but only found himself grinning happily like a loon. Thank goodness Nova had closed eyes.

He felt his heart beating against his chest happily in hope. Sprx didn't actually care anymore if he would lose or not, for a try, it was worth it. Especially if it would be a perfect moment for him to show her he was being all flirty because he wanted to have all her attention. It would be a perfect moment to tell her he was feeling around her so good for the last time. A perfect moment to tell her he was taking her as more than a teammate, more than a friend. Well, he knew something for sure: He will give everything into the game.

Nova made her way to the controller, when she noticed Sprx's idiotic expression, turning her more mad than she already was. She stepped in front of him in a fast manour, grapping him by the chest sooner than he could notice anything, facing his dark onyx eyes with an angry expression as Sprx was staring into her bubble-gum pink ones, that were in so many times so beautiful and gentle, now all he could see in them was a fire. "Listen to me you piece of crap, don't even dare to think about that. I will kick that tail of yours sooner than you will try to push any button," she was staring at him in that position for a several seconds, before she started to lose the grip on him and slowly letting go of him. Sprx forced himself to smirk. "I know you too well for that Nova. You never take it easy whenever you're around me," he commented as she found herself dumbfounded, doesn't really getting the point. Sprx winked at her in a flirty manour. "You don't have to play hard-to-get just because of me Novie, my magic of charm is just like a magnet for you, no matter how hard you push away, you always turn back," after Sprx finished his theory of undestanding girls, it turned Nova so pissed off she transformed one of her hands into her giant fist as she was holding him by the chest with the another, preparing to make him eat those words. Sprx shutted tightly his eyes awaiting for pain to come as he was screaming at himself inside his head for doing so wrong move.

"WAIT!"Chiro screamed as loud as like he would be the one who was supposed to be smacked, making both of them snap in the shock as Nova let go of Sprx in the whole surprise, causing him to fall and painfully hit his back. Both of them were staring in his direction, awaiting for his next reply in suspense as the boy found himself dumbfounded. "Wait up you two," he managed to say after a long and an awkward silence, "I forgot to bring up a popcorn."

In the next moment Nova jumped in his direction, making the boy gasp and turn around on his feet, speeding off as fast and far away as he could running for his dear life, yelling at himself in his head. "THIS WAS DEFINATELY THE LAST TIME I SAVED YOUR TAIL, SPRX!"

Nova had-had it, furiously panting as she was staring at the boy running away, breathing loudly and fastly as she was trying to figure out what had just happened. Sprx, on the other hand, sighed in relief as he smiled for himself. "That Kid deserves a medail."

Dun dun. That's it. Nova was so pissed off she beated the crap out of Sprx anyway, who was thinking it was all over, and well, then it was, after Nova left to her room to finish her bussiness with the bag ( GASP! BAG!!!! ) and all Sprx got was another smack in the face and unfortunately, a journey to Gibson's lab.

Lol just kidding! Anyways, sorry for interrupting, but I just had to do it here. ;P

That would be stupid if it would end up like this since the title says it all.

Btw, I feel poor for the bags. I wouldn't want to be on their place whenever Nova comes to that store. What do you think? Is Sprx gonna be all smacked up and there will be no game?

What are you waiting for? Go read the next part! The suspense will kill you!!!

Suspense: *gasps, dissapears*

..*sweatdrop* Geez. See what I'm talking about? It was waiting for you.
