Dragon Reborn (Kamen Rider x Spyro/Crash Bandicoot)

22

Elliott woke up with a smile on his face. Tonight starts a long weekend with gaming, good music, and whole lot of Chinese food with Ayanna.

Playing music, he begin cooking up a buffalo chicken dip recipe along with bacon ranch chicken dip. After getting both cooking, he started cleaning up a bit.

Walking outside with two bags of trash, Elliott went around the corner to the huge dumpster.

Startling him to death was Tawna who was finishing taking her trash out.

"Elliott, you scared me."

"Ditto. I'm sorry."

The Hero move aside and walk off to get out his Crush's way. But he turn to her who just stood there.

"Tawna, if I did anything to you or hurt your feelings, I'm sorry. I just hope things will be back to normal."

The Bandicoot didn't turn to him. She just gave him a thumbs up and went her way.

Elliott went on with what he was doing. For the Crush, she couldn't look at him. One look at him and she'll freak out and her heart will burst out of her chest.

'Only a couple weeks and I'll be free.'

It was hard to be cold to a great person like Elliott after all he's been is kind to him.

She could Remember that Ayanna want to rip her into pieces the other day when they were having lunch together.

"So, what's your deal with Elliott?" Ayanna ask Tawna as they sat across from one another at the nearby Chinese restaurant next to Market Quest.

Tawna took a pause, trying to choose her words wisely before she gets hurt from the short and feisty Best Friend.

"Ayanna, please don't hurt me. Elliott is a great man and very good friend. I don't...I...I like him. He's the guy that who would go out his way to put a smile on your face when you feel bad or have it rough. A man with a big heart.

"When we were dealing with the monster, he was like a hero who knew they were in danger and can be killed easily, yet do their best to defend the one they care about.

"I know about his heroics at the market and to see it first hand, it was amazing. But I don't want to think of him only for that and nothing else.

"I think of this: If I didn't have feelings for him back then, why should I now? It's unfair."

Ayanna took a bite of a dumpling, listening to the story from the Bandicoot.

She had a point on having a crush on someone based on something when she knew him for six years working at MQ. He would try and try for so long and she was just busy.

"Why don't you just tell him that you don't like him that way instead of being a bitch and avoiding him? You can't do it all the time."

Sneering at the Panda, Tawna answered the question. "I don't like to hurt feelings. Elliott been trying and he knows I don't have the time. I'm trying to avoid him until a couple of weeks later."

Raising an eyebrow, Yani was curious. "What's happening then?"

Looking around her surrounding, the Crush of Elliott whisper what was going to happen. The Panda let out a sigh.
