BoBoiBoy: The Runaway Assassin

Chapter 16: Fire Ignites on the Field

Previously...

Casually letting the rope of flames follow her finger, Victoria stared out of the window to the school's -where she last saw Fire- direction.

"Where there are heroes, there's bound to be trouble following." Resting the flames over her palm, she slowly closed her fingers over it, extinguishing it. "And where there are villains..." A sly smirk played on her face. "Trouble is brought wherever they go."

Now, should she go or should she not?

------------------------------------

It was a little bit cold out but the warmth of both his pillow and jacket kept him from freezing as he lay on his bed. He tried to think of nothing in particular, even relaxed his breathing, and actually began to doze off-

"Psst! BoBoiBoy! Psst, are you asleep already or not?"

Oh, who was he kidding? How was he supposed to sleep in this kind of environment?

Scrunching his face a bit in annoyance, he asked his best friend. "How can I possibly sleep?"

Feeling, rather than seeing -he still has his eyes closed- Gopal sitting down beside his bed and sensed him rolling his eyes. "Geez, why is it difficult to put you to sleep?"

Having enough, he answered exactly what was wrong. "Oh, I don't know." He started out sarcastically, "Maybe because I'm trying to sleep in the middle of the field?!" His voice was even until it rose in volume when it got to the end. 

His bed was carried by Yaya from his room through the window and was placed in the middle of his school's soccer field. The fact that his friends and grandfather were watching him trying to sleep was unnerving and made him uncomfortable. 

Gopal was quick to get up on his feet to reassure him. "This place is okay. Nothing will burn when your fire power appears. So go to sleep!"

What about the grass? What were they supposed to be? Chopped liver?

... Okay, wrong choice of words.

Erasing the disturbing scenario of chopped chicken and pig livers surrounding his bed and where he turned into the fire version of his element and cooking them all to crisps, BoBoiBoy growled as he sat up on his bed. "I told you it's difficult!" He didn't even care that his hat was almost about to fall off.

Yaya popped  up in his sight and said, "How about this?"

Then she proceeded to push him around the bed at supersonic speed while the others watched from the side. A cloud of dust and a yellow streak were the only indications of their impromptu exercise.

"What is this?!"

"Turn around again!"

"Whhaaaaa!!"

A few seconds later...

"There! Now we ran 1000km!" Ying skidded to a stop after their sonic run but it only made BoBoiBoy dizzy until he collapsed back on his bed. Ying was still pumped up though. "Are you tired? Sleep~ sleep~" She waved her hands as if casting a spell...a sleeping spell. Unfortunately, she can only control time so that was a fail.

The boy sighed dejectedly. "Tired....but still unable to sleep."

"Maybe you should eat something first," Yaya suggested an idea. "When you're full, it might be easier to put you to sleep."

Gopal perked up at the idea and he nodded excitedly. Whether it was the idea of food or how good the idea was, no one's sure.

Sitting up, the dino-capped boy considered the idea. "Maybe, but what am I going to eat?"
