Fell For the Good Guy: Part 2

(18)

Tomorrow is my holiday and I have almost finished planning.

"You should have like a meditation day!" Said Lonnie. "Meditation is so not for me. I am not a patient person." I said.

"Well, I think you've already got it all planned out." She said. "Yeah."

Then, I heard footsteps coming behind me. I didn't look though, I continue looking at my list of what I was going to do the whole week.

Then, they tapped on my shoulder.

I turn to see Tony. He hasn't apologized to me and I haven't even seen him after what happened.

"What is it, Piccolo?" I said, turning back and looking at my list.

"Look, I know an 'im sorry' is enough but I have to say it but that's not I'm doing." He said. I look at him, "What else you got?"

"First, I'm sorry. I am so sorry, I can't stand not being your friend. It's never fun without you." He said.

"Second, I'll be your assistant for a whole 3 weeks." He said. "Assistant?" I scoffed. "Yes. I'll be there with you anytime of your need. I'll get you what you need and I will disappear whenever you want me to." He said.

"Huh, doesn't sound so bad of an idea. I'll take it." I said.

His eyes widened as he hugged me from behind while I was sitting down and he squeezed me really hard making my bones crack.

"Okay, chiropractor. Your job starts next week though. I'm taking a break. This drama is still going around and I can't have the girls in the lab check up on me every time." I said.

"What? Where are you going?" He asks. "Home. Gonna have fun with my friends there and try to clear my head." I said. "Even captain thinks I should, too."

"Well, I'll miss you. How long are you leaving for?" "Just a week."

"Well, as your future 3 week assistant, I will try my best to clear the air of this ship."

"Good luck with that." I said, standing up "never tried it but I know it's gonna be tough. I'll see you lat-"

Then my walkie-talkie spoke.

"Y/l/n, Henderson. We need you twk at the bridge. It's not too long but it's urgent." I heard Commander Ford say.

I took it out of it's holster, "I'll be right there." I said into the walkie-talkie.

"Guess we're needed. See ya, Tony." I said and we rushed to the bridge.

We entered the bridge and after a bunch of talking that I can't entirely explain...

"You've tried to fix it already? What did you do?" I said.

"Well, Wolenczak had created some new medicine for the planktons in the water but nothing's working." Said Ford.

"Wait..." I said, looking at the tablet I'm holding. "Tim, what's on your screen?" I turn to Tim.

He looks down at his screen and had realized that the planktons had gotten worse. He started pressing buttons and looked slightly anxious.

Something bad's happened to the ocean.

"Lucas..." I turn to him.

"You just made it worse."
