I woke up to feel a presence beside me. I smiled at the thought. I turned to see his sleeping face. I brushed his hair away from his face. He suddenly held her hands, kissing her knuckles.

" Sleep well baby doll?" He asked.

" Um- hum."

He traced his index finger from my arm up to my chest, coming down towards my lower area. I quickly held his fingers.

" Flustered?"

" Only a little." I answered." But I've been meaning to ask you something."

" What is it?"

" Remember that day your dad told us we were gonna be working together? What was it that u didn't want your dad to tell about?"

The smile on his face vanished.

" Why do you wanna know about that?" He asked.

" Well I guess since we know this much about each other, what stops you from telling me this. But if you don't wanna tell me it's fine."

" It's okay."

I moved closer to him.

" When I was younger, dad used to tell me how I was gonna take over his lab and all its resources blah blah blah. Anyway, I always had a thing for science. I always liked the fact that he looked so cool on a lab coat or those cool Google's. I also liked how he looked so serious he looked when he was mixing chemicals and stuff. So he basically home schooled me on it. But then he became too serious with it. But that wasn't were my heart was. So I told mum about it and she approved. She encouraged me to do wat I loved doing."

" Drawing?"

" Half of it. I loved cartoons. Still do. I wanted to be a cartoonist. Make my own cartoons. Make comics. So I went to the Canada school of Arts. I practically went through 2 years in high school when the fees stopped coming in. Dad came, brought me back and I landed in the science Dept. Dad became distant and too interested in the quankrypton virus. We got into fights and all, I hardly came home anymore except when mum got hurt.

" I'm sorry."

" Don't be. I got to meet a doll ."

" Don't be such flirt."

" Only for you."

He made love to me again that morning. Then we had our first official date. Like he actually asked me out. We went to the beach, went shopping,did some amazing stuff together and finally analyzed the data for tomorrow's research.

*. *. *. *.
Max and I walked into the lab after school. Putting on our lab coats, we headed for the research room.
Gregory, my dad and too other scientists on similar coats were waiting for us. The others were at the computer, control panels and one was behind the quantometer.

" Kids, you're finally here. We were just about ti start but ' Oscar' insisted we wait." He said

I moved towards my dad, hugging him.

" Morning dad."

" Morning kiddo, sleep well?"

" Like a doll." I took a peek a max, shooting him a wink.

" All station units, commence operation 1." Gregory said. Immediately all florescent lights turned off, leaving dim blue lights.

" Operation 2."

A big white bulb lit up, revealing the quantometer fully activated. The too of the quantometer opened revealing the white orb.

" Operation 3."

Another scientist brought out the newly made quantonium. Poring it into the orb, he closed the lid.

" Operation 4."

The scientist turned the switch in the quantometer. I held Max's hand. The orb starting moving. It was spinning really fast. Some sort of lightning bolt started sparking out. Suddenly it stopped moving..

" I thought it only stopped moving when there was no quantonium?" Max asked sarcastically.

" I thought so too." Gregory said, oblivious to Max's sarcasm.

It started spinning again, but this time backwards, and really fast.

" What's going on?! One scientist asked.

Now I was really scared. I tightened my fingers around Max's arms. A giant ray of blue light struck out of the machine, hitting the RTH- 11 prototype. I didn't enter the machine like it was meant to. Instead it bounced back, hitting different surfaces. Suddenly the lightening flashed before my eyes.

" Roxy!" I heard someone scream my name, but everything went black.

----------

It struck her. The quantonium dynamite max created wasn't ' it'. Now it had discovered the quantonium. The lightening went straight for Roxy.

" Roxy!" He dad screamed.

Max tried to block her, but he couldn't cover her completely, making both of them go down. But he was down and Roxy was covered in blue.
