¹ Jessica took another glance at the guys then slowly panned slowly, Looking back and Chip and Nova. "Who are these people?" Jessica asks. "We were trying to find cryptids, But instead we found these kids wondering around the forest. We didn't want them to get out and tell the authorities, So we snatched them from the woods." Chip says as she sips her coffee. "Anyways, I got Kristy her clothes. We have to cut holes for her tail and ears though." Jessica says handing Nova the clothes. Nova sat Kristy on her lap. "Chip, Do you need me to fix your disc set?" Chip slides Nova her disc set. "Thank you Ma'am." Nova says leaving the room. Issac followed Nova. "While those two are gone, Might as well go make some more daggers," Chip looks over to see Peter get quiet. "Lil' dude, Wanna come?" Peter nods as Chip and Peter head to Chip's room. "You're quiet for someone the same age as me." Chip claims. "I talk, It's just I never really thought I would be here talking to someone like you." Peter says looking at the floor. Chip stops sharpening the freshly made dagger. "Was that an insult?" Chip says looking over her shoulder. "NONONONO. You are an amazing person! I just never thought I would be in this situation." Peter says pushing himself against the wall. "Anyways, You seem like a nice dude." Chip says as she tosses him a dagger. "We also need to find you guys some place to sleep." Chip says. They exit the room. They notice Nova and Issac putting their ears as close to the door as possible. Chip and Peter power walk over to join in. They'd hear shuffling on the other side of the door. The group backed up into Chip's room and shut the door behind them. "Are they fucking each other bro?" Peter said laughing. "Willy is flirty, But I didn't expect him to be like THAT." Issac says. "Chip do you flirt?" said Peter. Chip's eyes widen as she looks at Nova to continue the conversation. "Well, She doesn't because she isn't the best around people. I am but I don't talk as much." Said Nova. "So you're the one who flirts Nova?" Issac asks. "I rarely do it though." Said Nova pulling out a potion bottle. They heard footsteps then, A slight knock met the door. Due to that, The boys covered Chip and Nova's mouth.
² "Hey guys, Jessica said there's something she needed to show me. She said she's never shown it to anyone, Not even her little buddies that brought us here." Said Willy on the other side of the door. "Alright dude, Are the other two chicks supposed to know?" Peter responded. "I don't think so. Anyways, I'll be going. See you two later." Willy walked away from the door. Peter checked if the hallway was clear. "Sooo, does that answer what all that noise was in the living room?" Chip asked everyone. "I assume so." Nova said. "We shouldn't bother them though." Peter says sitting on Chip's bed. "Well, What do we do now?" Issac asks. "I guess we can go to sleep. I mean, It is REALLY late. I'm tired anyway." Peter said as he let out a huge yawn. "Where are we gonna sleep?" Issac asks. "We have a guest room, But it's for one person. Chip would you be fine with-" Nova said as she was cut off by Chip. "Yea, Peter can sleep in my bed. I'll just have to cope with having someone else in the room with me." Chip says. "Okay, Issac seems like the room is yours. I'll take you to it." Nova and Issac left the room. "I can sleep on the floor if you want me to, I'll be fine." Peter said getting a pillow and placing it on the floor. "NONONONO, You are more important, Take the bed." Chip said. "Are you sure?" Peter says. Chip nods. Peter hesitantly got into bed.
³ "Aye Nova?" Nova could feel Peter tapping her shoulder to wake her up. Nova eyes opened to Peter without a shirt on. "I think Chip needs you outside. I think she's in danger, She told me to wake you up." Peter says pointing and running outside. Nova gets outta bed, Changes, Grabs her Disc, and exits out the back door. She could here Chip's minigun, shooting in the distance. "WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING?" Nova says tossing her disc in the air. "Oh just the reporters coming back-" Chip says. "WHY ARE YOU KILLING THE REPORTERS?!" Nova leaped over the caution tape. Chip ran after her. Nova slowed down to notice a sea of people with gunshot wounds from the minigun. "Seventh sent them. These things we called 'reporters' were actually," Chip peeled of the plastic skin off of one of the weak beings. "A robot." Nova could see screws, wires, and joint panels come from the arm of the robotic reporter. "That little bitch. Speaking of Bitches...Did Jess ever come back, I couldn't see I was in a rush to get out here." Nova says putting her disc back. "Yea, She made it back. She just hasn't woken up yet I don't think." Chip starts to walk back towards the tower with Nova. Almost there Chip attempted to start a conversation. "Y'know that Issac guy seems to be into you a lot, I see how he follows you around." Chip says smirking. "Shit- Peter woke me up with no shirt on, So I assume you two got A LOT closer than I thought you would." Nova says. "SHUT UP. A GUY LIKE PETER WITH ME?! You've lost your mind." Chip says as both of them start laughing at each other. They eventually reached the tower. From where they stood they could hear everyone talking, So they waited to see what was happening. "Nova is so nice...I don't want to ruin that." Issac says. "What do you mean ruin, She'll probably freak out a little but settle in after." Peter says. "Anyways, Peter, If you're so attached to Chip just tell her. I mean you did get a LITTLE BIT TOO comfortable and took off your fucking shirt off outta absolutely no where." Issac says. "Wait, Did she watch me do that?" Peter says, As his eyes widen. Nova looks at Chip. She whispers, "Did you? Be honest." Nova says smiling. Chip got silent as she knocked on the door. They both walked in. "C'monnnn, Tell Me." Nova says as they walked in. "NO." Chip then realized that she was standing right in front of Peter. He was looking up at her waiting her ro say something. It got quiet for a few seconds. "Y-You need a better chair. Let me go get you one uhhhhh..." Exclaimed Chip as she pulled Nova into the closet. Nova closed the door behind them. "HELP- YOU KNOW I HAVE SOCIAL ANXIETY." Chip says. "CHILL, Listen. Just take him into your room. And just tell em' how you feel- Where the hell did she run off to?" When Nova looked up Chip was gone. Nova power walked to the Living Room area. She wasn't there. Nova checked Jessica's room she wasn't there. Then Nova came across Chip's own room. The door was locked, All Nova could hear was talking on the other side.
⁴ "Look at me, I usually don't flirt...Or talk in general." Chip says. "That's okay, What is it you needed?" Peter says sitting on Chip's bed. "You are...uhm...Nicely put together...Sir." Chip hesitated to get the words out of her mouth. They paused for a minute. Chip ran towards the door pulling the knob trying to get out. Peter got up and walked towards Chip. "Open Door, PLEASE." Chip continued to yank the door knob. Peter waited behind Chip for her to stop, Until she did and turned around. At this point, Chip's back was against the door and Peter was about 6 inches away from Chip. "Why are you leaving? I'm not gonna hurt you! Just stay calm and repeat what you said. No need to be scared. I don't bite." Peter says in a calming tone. "Okay, You are nicely put t-together." Chip says. "Now, What do you mean by 'Nicely Put Together', Huh? Clarify."
