Attacked by a Pen (Xyan)

"I don't know what's happened to Kyan." said Lars. And he was right to wonder this, because normally, he would spend his free time doing loads of gymnastics and running around the island. But now, he wasn't doing it so much anymore.

Foz just rolled his eyes and muttered to his friend "Well, Academy day minus Kyan minus Xuli equals..." Foz lowered his voice so no one could hear "...they're probably sailing their boat."

Lars was just confused and gave Foz a weird look. The 12-year-old genius groaned "Don't you know that's an expression for 'doing stuff to do with their relationship'?"

"You mean, you mean they're a couple?"

"Look at the signs. Ever since the tsunami (shameless reference to A Stormy Tale), Kyan and Xuli have been acting, I don't know...differently around each other. In that way."

"Well, I guess there are signs that they may be in-"

"What do you mean, 'might be'? These 'signs' are proof! Proof that they like each other!"

Lars just threw up his arms in defeat. "Fine, you win."

Unbeknownst to the cadets, Ubercorn collected feather pens. He only ever let the Go Jetters in on this secret. So when the door opened and Xuli came in, he didn't hide them.

"Hey, Xuli. What can I do for ya?"

"Do you mind if I borrow one of your pens? As in, a feather pen?"

"OK," muttered the unicorn. "Just don't show it to anyone, or else they'll think I'm stupid."

Who knows the ways of Ubercorn, thought Xuli as she grabbed a pen, thanked Ubercorn and left. His eyes shifted back to the paperwork he'd been putting off for a week or so. He then sighed and got back to work.

Xuli quickly ran into JetPad and reached the Vroomster. It suddenly came out of sleep mode and was overjoyed to see its pilot.

"Hey Xuli! Wanna go for a test fly?"

"Sorry, Vroomster. I have to do something first."

"But what can be more important than- um, Xuli, is that a feather pen you're holding?"

"Oh, you can see it? Yeah, it is."

"So, I'm guessing this 'thing' you have to do first is to do with the pen."

"You guessed it."

"What are you doing, writing?"

"Nope."

"Teasing Kyan, maybe?"

Xuli blushed and stammered "Umm, well..."

"HA!!! Knew it! You're smitten over each other, aren't you?"

Seeing Xuli blush even more furiously showed that it was right.

"Just, just stop. Please."

"Alright, fine. But tell me how the teasing went, OK?"

"OK, as long as you don't tell anyone."

"Cross my, uh, engine, and hope to, uhm, jump to hyperspeed...?"

Xuli just couldn't hold back her laughter. After a few moments, she finally managed to pull herself together and mutter "Right. Better find him before the next bunch of lessons."
