1. Chapter 1 Day 1 The Animal Convention

Secret Hobbies

It's a big week for Conventions and Bit is going to all of them. However he'll meet the most unlikely people at these conventions. Find out who has secret hobbies and past-times.

...

......

...

Bit woke up excited. Everyday this week there was a convention for all his favorite hobbies. Of course he wasn't going to tell some of them to the team they wouldn't understand. Like the Knitting, the Cosplay, D&D, and cave painting conservation conventions. The other two conventions were for animal lovers, and writers. The other convention was for Zoids of course. All the best teams would be there.

He pulled his daily planner out from his bedside drawer. He opened it up and looked at the days. The First convention was for animal lovers. He pulled his covers off and went to his closet to dress. No one knew he was going to any of these conventions other than the Zoids Convention on Saturday. They just figured he was going into town like he usually did.

He put his camera in his bag and other assorted things he'd need for the day and so he left the base picking up breakfast on his way.

...

......

Bit had just gotten his own "I Love Kittens T-Shirt" when he decided to go see the panda's that were brought to the convention to bring about more awareness for them. They were in the open without any cages. They were baby pandas that couldn't do that much damage. They were on leashes as well. One of them waddled up to Bit and began to paw a his leg. He bent down and began to pet the little cub. Others bent down to pet the animal as well. He looked to his left and saw a familiar face with brown hair. "Hey Brad I didn't know you were going to be here.

Brad, who had just realized Bit was beside him, jumped to his feet. "B-b-b Bit!" Brad was wearing an "I Love Doggy's T-shirt".

"Fancy meeting you here! I didn't know you had a soft spot for animals." Bit said with a smile as the baby panda went off to play with some toddler who giggled to no end.

"Listen Bit, Don't tell ANYONE I was here!" Brad pleaded.

"Why?" Bit asked unsure.

"Because, it will ruin my image. I'm supposed to be a tough mercenary, not some sissy who totally love baby animals!" Brad said making it sound like a bad thing.

Bit just looked at him like he was just being silly. " Whatever... Hey did you see the elephants?" Changing the subject was the only thing Bit could think of.

"Sure!" Brad's composure returned and they went off to the giant mammals.

...

......

...

Brad had left first so he wasn't seen coming back with Bit. When Bit did get back Brad wasn't wearing his new t-shirt. Instead he had his usually attire and his mug of coffee. He acted like nothing happened and he hadn't gone to the convention.

Tomorrow was the writing convention. He had to get his writings together of all his Zoid Experiences and such.

Secret Hobbies

Chapter 2

It's a big week for Conventions and Bit is going to all of them. However he'll meet the most unlikely people at these conventions. Find out who has secret hobbies and past-times.

...

...

Bit was wandering around the large building packed with fellow writers. He had gotten a free hardcover notebook for his writings and a pen and pencil set. His favorite author was there he was going to have them sign his books. He waited in line. Isaac Asimov was sitting at a table signing book after book. Bit was third in line he saw a familiar kid ahead of him. "Hi Jamie!"

Jamie turned and saw Bit. "Hi Bit! I didn't expect to see you here! I didn't know you wrote."

"I didn't know YOU wrote. We'll have to take a look at each other's writings." Bit was next. Jamie had gotten his signed while they were talking.

"Hello Sir, I'm Bit Cloud and I've read every single one of you're books!" Bit said enthusiastically.

"Well thats a lot of books!" The famous author said cheerfully.

"Mr. Asimov, what is your favorite book of all the ones you've written?"

The Author thought for a moment. "Probably book 306.. although 245 was pretty good."

Once Bit had gotten his books signed he and Jamie headed off to one of the vacant tables to share their writings pieces.

The exchanged notebooks.

"Wow Bit you write a lot! Hey cool these are like adventures of Zoiding right?"

"Yup they are!" Bit looked at Jamie's Notebook.

_It was a dark and stormy night.
There was a gun shot and a scream from the maid.
Detective Jones was going to find out who killed
the butler, Winston._

_End of Part One._

Bit looked up at Jamie. He was definitely an amateur but not compared to Jamie. He needed a lot more than that to be called a book... or even a short story. But how to tell Jamie he needed help without hurting his feelings.

Jamie looked up at Bit. "So what did you think? It's still in progress."

Okay Bit just tell him! You can do it! "It was the best thing I've ever read Jamie!"

Jamie's face brightened. "You really think so?"

"Totally! There sure is suspense in this! I mean, Man! I wonder who did kill Winston!" Yeah Bit did wonder.

"Well..." Jamie blushed. "I'm still working on it."

Oh good!

"I haven't finished part two yet."

Oh...

Bit looked over and saw the super hero of writing. He leaned over to Jamie. "Look! It's Grammatically Correct Man!"

Jamie looked quickly and saw a 17 year old kid with taped glasses, a pocket protector, his shirt tucked into his high pants and suspenders, with large purple G on his shirt, handing out books. "Oh, boy! Come on!"

Together Jamie and Bit ran up to Grammatically Correct Man and greeted him. "Hi! I'm Jamie and this is my friend Bit! We're really inspired by how well you know grammar!"

The kid just looked a them weird and handed them a book and quickly walked away.

Jamie and Bit looked at their books. "How to Use Correct Grammar in Your Writing".

"Wooooowwww.. they looked at the books with awe.

......

Bit and Jamie went home together talking about how cool the Convention was.

Tomorrow was the Knitting Convention. Bit wondered if he'd find another surprise guest at the conventions. He'd have o find out!

[AN] Isaac Asimov has been dead for about 30 years...I think. So this probably isn't possible for Bit and Jamie to meet him. He must be back from the dead. Plot hole!!! I'll work on the 3rd chapter really soon! I promise!

	3. Chapter 3 Day 3 The Knitting Convention

Secret Hobbies

It's a big week for Conventions and Bit is going to all of them. However he'll meet the most unlikely people at these conventions. Find out who has secret hobbies and past-times.

...

......

...

Bit sported his hand knitted scarf and hat. They were red of course. He was going to enter them into the contest for best style and stitch. He really hoped that he would win. Some artists were selling some.

He felt weird that he was just about the only guy there. Everyone else was either a girl... or a grandma. Because there was totally a difference between the two...

As Bit walked through the crown he saw the rocking chairarea and just had to go over there! He bolted for the last open rocking chair. He so wanted to knit in a rocking chair. He'd never done that before and it was so traditional! But someone was trying to beat him to it. He ran faster. The other person ran faster as well. They were practicaly neck-'n-neck. Birt leapt for the chair and so did his opponent.

CRASH!!!

They both had jumped for the chair and crashed to the floor.

Bit crawled out from under the other person and the debris that was once a chair. People quickly walked away not wanted to be seen around those two.

Bit turned to give a tongue lashing to the person who tok his chair but was surprised to find a very familiar man getting up from the rubble.

"Doc?" Now this was just crazy! "What the heck are you doing here?!"

The man at hearing his name turned and jumped. "Bit!" He placed a hand over Bit's mouth so he couldn't say anything else.

"Mmphmgphh" Bit mumbled through Doc's hand before pushing it away.

"You can't tell ANYONE I was here!"

"Funny Brad said the same thing!" Bit said then stopped realizing he wasn't supposed to tell.

"WHAT!! Brad is here? Oh no!!!" Doc was fretting. Brad was a merciless mercenary!

"Relax Doc..."

"Wait! I'll just Deny ever being here! no one will believe you!"

"Thanks Doc.... thanks" bit said with an unamused face.

Just then a woman walked up. "Excuse me gentlemen but..."

"I'm not with him!" Doc said immediately.

"uhm okay.. I was just wondering if you had the time." She said slightly backing away.

"It's 4:35." Bit replied to her request.

"Thanks."

Bit looekd back to Doc, shook his head and walked away.

"Wait Bit!" Doc ran up to Bit. "Since we're both here maybe we could you know..."

"Hang out?" Bit asked.

"No.. no....okay yes....." Doc said as though he were confession a great sin.

Bit rolled his eyes. This would be one heck of a weird day. "Okay come on. They're doing the judging for the best knit hat and scarf."

"Oh Boy! I Bet I'll win!" Doc said excited.

"You? HA! No way! I'm totally gonna win!"

"oh yeah...."

.......

.........

........

..

...

.

"HA! I told you I'd win!" Doc laughed maniacly as he help the blue ribbon up over Bit's head.

Bit Growled and went to pounce on the man when he saw another contest. "I best I'm a faster knitter than you are!"

"No way! I'm totally faster!"

"Oh yeah!!!"

Bit and Doc ran over to the contest area grabbed some knitting needles and some yarn and they were off. Bit and the Doc were knitting as fast as they could.. so fast in fact that smoke was staring to come from the needles. The Audience thought that the yarn would burst into flames any moment but they wanted to see it happen first before they ran for their lives.

Bit Knitted and knitted. until finally his scarf was done!

Doc wasn't too far behind.

The woman running the contest made her way to Bit and handed him a blue ribbon. "I must say I've never seen such a fast job done." She said almost nervously.

"See old man!! I'm faster because you're old and have arthritis!"

The Doctor didn't take to kindly to that. "Please! its isn't about how fast you can make it, its how well you can make it! and that looks liek a peice of..."

Bit Gasped! "You take that back!"

"Make me!"

"Fine I challenge you to another contest!!" Bit said pointing his now swollen finger at his opponent.

The audience looked at each other.

....

.....

...

.....

.....

"I can't believe they threw us out." Bit said as they made their way to their rooms.

"I blame you."

"ME? Oh come on!"

Doc ignored him and walked away.

Bit opened his door.

"Bit you're not going to tell anyone I was there right?"

"No Doc. I wont tell."

....

.....

[AN] Sorry if this took a bit to get up.. my computer has been a jerk. I have to type it all in text document... which doesn't have spell check.... Sorry for any misspelled words.. blame my computer! I tried to catch them but I may have missed a few... Thanks for the review! You have NO idea how great it is to hear fro myou guys and your reaction! Please R&R.

	4. Chapter 4 Day 4 The Cosplay Convention

Secret Hobbies

It's a big week for Conventions and Bit is going to all of them. However he'll meet the most unlikely people at these conventions. Find out who has secret hobbies and past-times.

Chapter 4 - Cosplay Convention

Rayne Cloud .

...

Bit stood in front of his mirror admiring his costume for the Cosplay convention. There wasa contest for the best cosplay. He was sure to win. He looked exactly like Cloud. Plus he had the cool guy's name. He left early so he could get breakfast on the way. He really didn't want to stay for Jamie's breakfast. Not because Jamie was a bad cook, he a wasa very good cook. But it was because ever since Bit met him at the convention Jamie had been trying to get Bit to read more of his stuff... Which isn't very fun.

So Bit snuck out trying not to be seen by Jamie and he was off.

.

...

Once he was at the convention he signed up for the Cosplay contest. He saw there were quite a few Clouds running around. But his costume was the best.

He saw a few Vash the Stampedes. Some Ouan High School Host Club Groups, Fruits Basket, Star Wars, even Star Trek. There were hundreds of other costumes for different shows, books, games, and movies. Bit pulled out his camera phone and took some pictures. He turned and saw a red head look his way. he snapped the picture and looked up. Two very angry purple eyes were staring back at him.

"Hi Leena what are you doing here?" Bit asked happily putting his phone away.

"You better delete that photo!" He yelled pointing her black nails at him.

Bit slowly lowered her hand away from his face. He smiled and changed the subject. "So You're Rayne from Blood Rayne right?"

"Yeah! You got it right!" Leena's entire attitude changed.

"Are you signing up for the cosplay contest?" Bit asked as they began walking to a comic book stand.

"You Bet!" Leena said proudly.

....

"Whoa!! Sonic the Hedgehog!! This brings back memories! I haven't read this series in ages!! I still have all my old comics. I got them from my brother who got the originals... I wonder if I'd be able to sell them. No he'd prolly kill me..." Bit bought the comic happily.

"Hey look Batman! I love Batman!" Leena said watching some Batman's go by.

Bit looked at his costume. "Maybe I should have come as BITman." He laughed at his own joke. Leena just elbowed him in the ribs. "ow..."

.

....

The Costume contest was underway.

All the Vash the Stampedes were on the stage and Batmans, The Clouds, the Blood Raynes, and everyone who entered.

"The Winner for the Vash the Stampede Costume is...Bruno Magne!" The anouncer who was dressed as the Referee of the martial arts tournament from Dragon Ball Z. The crowd cheered.

He moved on to the Batmans and pulled out the winner's card.

"The Winner for the Batman Costume is... Christian Bale!" More Cheers erupted from the crowd.

He got to the Clouds. "Al right..." He pulled the card out of the envelope and then droped it. "Whoops..." He leaned down to pick it up. Bit was dieing from anticipation. He NEEDED to know who won! "Okay the winner for the Cloud costume is...." He looked at the Clouds who were about ready to kill the announcer, and then to the crowd who were laughing. "The winner is... BIT CLOUD!!!"

The crowd erupted again! It was so bad some people thoguht there was going to be a riot.

The security guards came and hadto calm the peopel down.

"okay.... now to the Raynes from Blood Rayne." The announcer opened the envelope. "And winning by an land slide the winner is.... Leena Toros!!!!!!!"

This time the crowd did erupt into a riot. Bit ran past the Announcer grabbed his prize and ran out of the area. Leena was trapped by adoring fans. "AHH! Bit Help!" However Bit ws long gone. He hopped into his liger and headed home.

.

...

Bit walked into his room and changed into his regualr clothes and then he heard a knock on the door. OH NO! That was probably Jamike wanting him to read more of his writing. Bit looked around looknig for a way out.

"Hey Bit! It's Doc." Bit relaxed and opened the door.

"Whats up Doc?"

"Have you seen Leena?"

Bit thought back to the convention were Leena was trapped and most likely getting mobbed by fans. "Bit Cloud you're gonna pay!" Were the most likely words coming out of her mouth.

"Nope haven't seen her." Bit said cheerfully before closing his door again and lying down on his bed.

Tomorrow was the D&D convention. This week was getting to be pretty weird. Bit pulled out his journal and wrote today in it. At least this week was interesting.

	5. Chapter 5 Day 5 The D&D Convention

Secret Hobbies

It's a big week for Conventions and Bit is going to all of them. However he'll meet the most unlikely people at these conventions. Find out who has secret hobbies and past-times.

Chapter 5- The D&D Convention.

[AN] I've left a few notes to myself here and there so just ignore them.

.

...

Bit was dressed as a swordsman. He had his cardboard sword and his robin hood costume. He was ready to beat those noobs of D&D. He'd show them his level 34 warrior with +50 hit points Sword of Death. He had everything he needed to be a master D&D player. He was paired up with some losers who were mostly mages. He would 'wow' them with is awesome skillz.

He approached his playing area and saw one of the mages turn. He was dressed in a long blue robe with a blue pointed wizard hat, stereotypical of any wizard. He had a staff what was more of a dead branch and a fake Merlin's beard. Bit's Jaw dropped when he saw who was underneath that beard.

"LEON?" Bit almost busted into laughter if he didn't know better. "W-What are you doing here?" He half chuckled.

"Uh.... uhm.. B-Bit.. uhm.. I...uhm... Don't tell ANYONE! Especially Dad and the others." He said grabbing Bit by the shoulders.

"S-Sure... I guess..." Bit said with a nervous smile and an Anime sweat drop. This week was getting ridiculous.

"Well then lets show these losers that we are the real pro's of Dungeons and Dragons!" Leon said suddenly confident now that the issue was out of the way.

Bit shrugged and smiled. He took his place at his playing area and got ready for some serious role playing.

.

...

"I cast Merlin's Beard!" said one of the opponents.

"I counter with 'Merlin's Deception'" Leon said pointing his staff at the opponent very seriously. Almost too seriously.

Even Bit wasn't THIS serious. It was more of just a simple game... not anything SERIOUS!

"I attack with the Sword of Death!" Bit said pulling forth his cardboard sword.

The crowd gasped. He knew they would be impressed! He worked hard to get the sword. Lots of searching and venturing. He died about ten times trying to get it luckily he had a cleric that revived him each time. He looked over to Leon who was just as impressed.

.

...

After much venturing and dueling and battling, Bit and Leon had finally won their D&D championship. As they were leaving Leon couldn't get enough of Bit's amazing skills. "Wow Bit I've never seen anyone play like that before! you were amazing! You know this game like the back of your hand! And how did you ever get the Sword of Death? I know people who looked all over for it and never found it! its REALLY rare! How did you get a hold of it? And your character is so far along! It's like you've been playing for nearly years!"

"Luck? I was lucky that my brother lost interest in the game and gave everything he had of it to " Bit said unsure to tell Leon tha the truth was, he had a very easy time getting everything from his brother.. he even inherited the character ..thats why it was so good!

Leon just looked at him for a moment then smirked. "Lucky is right! Most people when they are through with their cahracters just get rid of them but to get a character that is so advanced and play it so much that it becomes the best is really something! How long has the character been around?"

"Ages.." it said not wanting to tell Leon that its been inherited more than once.

"So I'll see you at the Zoids convention right?" Bit asked changing the subject.

"Definitely... oh but Bit. You can't tell ANYONE I was here okay? No a soul! forget that I was even here!" eon said very seriously again.

"Relax!" Bit said before leaving and heading home.

When he got to his room he sighed and plopped down on his bed. Only one more convention then the Zoids convention would be here and this week would end and finally stop being weird.

Tomorrow was the Cave Drawing Conservationists Convention. Bit half hoped he wouldn't see anyone else he knew.. and yet he did hope he'd meet someone to make the day interesting. He rolled over and fell asleep.

.

[AN] This chapter wasn't that great.. I didn't really knwo how to write it... but Leon seems like someone wo might play D&D in his spare time... maybe.... But I hope this chapter wasn't to boring or anything. R&R

only 2 chapters to go! ^.^ Agian for some reason only my text doc works and it doesn't have very good Spell chekc ..srry for any misspellings. I tried to catch as many as i could.

Chapter 6 - Cave Drawing Conservationists Convention

[talk about a mouth full]

.

...

Today was the last weird convention of the week.. tomorrow was the Zoids convention. Everyone this week had been so nervous that Bit was going to tell. The anxiety was so high.. except Jamie he just wanted Bit to read all his stuff. Bit sighed as he walked through the new convention. Cave Drawing Conservationists. At least they gave out free t-shirts and cave man dreadlocks! Bit really liked them. he played with the dread locks on his head as he walked.

He looked up and saw someone staring at him. He didn't know who they were but they ere acting nervous the tried to cover up their cave drawing t-shirt and took their dreads and tied them under their nose so it looked like they had a mustache, then they turned around and acted like nothing happened. Bit knew that the person was avoiding him. He was determined to find out who they were. Although half of him didn't want to run into anyone else.

He walked around in front of the person who turned the other way. Bit again went in front of them and tried to see their face. He reached up to pull off the wig but a hand caught his. He tried with the other hand and he was pinned with both hands. He kicked the guy in the shin and ripped the wig off.

There bending over in pain from being kicked was Jack Sisco. He was here supporting cave drawing conservation? Bit put the wig back on his friend's head and walked away.

Then there was a hand on his shoulder. "Bit hold on!" Dread lock jack came up and pulled Bit into a corner.

Bit knew what was He rolled his eyes and said "I know I know, don' tell anyone!" Bit said ready to walk away now but he was still being held. "What do you want me to say? 'Nice dreadlocks?'"

Jack looked at him unsure then a smile stretched across his face. "You really like them?"

Bit was feeling like he was at the butt end of a joke or something. "Are you serious?"

The smile vanished. "So you don't like them?"

"Ugh!" Bit broke away from Jack and headed off to the display cases where ancient cave drawings were on display.

Jack had caught up to him. "So did you enter the cave drawing contest?"

"yes." Bit said sounding like an anamatron without any emotion.

"You like this kind of culture huh?"

"Yes." The same answer as before.

"Are you mad or something?"

Bit looked at Jack. "No. This week has just been really weird." Bit wasn't going to tell him WHY is was weird.. it just was.

"oh..."

They were silent.

Then Jack leaned over a cocky smile on his face. "I bet I'll win the cave drawing contest!"

"You wish!" Bit said even more cocky.

.

....

"And the winner for the Cave Drawing contest is... Bit Cloud!" The announcer lady said happily.

Bit ran up on stage grabbed his prize and starting laughing at Jack. "Hah! I told you I'd win!"

"Oh please! that drawing looks like crap!" Jack said annoyed.

"Duh! do you really think cave men could draw!?"

A gasp came from the crowd.

"No thats why you won because you're dumb just like them.

Another gasp.

All of a sudden Bit and Jack were taken into custody by guys in black suits and sunglasses. They looked like they were from the CIA or something. "You're being kicked out of this convention for failure to respect this culture!"

Next thing they knew they were sitting on the hot pavement.

"I blame you!" Bit said picking himself up along with his prize.

"Oh please! you're the one who said they couldn't draw."

"First of all.. they can't... and secondly... you started it, you said my drawing sucked!" Bit said sticking his tongue out.

Jack looked at Bit in the eye. "Don't Tell ANYONE."

Bit gave him the do-you-think-I'm-dumb look and got in his zoid and left.

On his way back he started to realize how funny yht day had been and tomorrow was the last day of conventions! He didn't think he would want the week to be over with so soon.

Tomorrow was the Zoids Convention he hoped it would go smoothely... Hoped!

[AN] okay so only one chapter to go.. sorry this chapter was kind of lame.. I didn't really know what to do... the next chapter should be good though. Please R&R Thanks for the reads and reviews!

	7. Chapter 7 Day 7 the Zoids Convention

Secret Hobbies

It's a big week for Conventions and Bit is going to all of them. However he'll meet the most unlikely people at these conventions. Find out who has secret hobbies and past-times.

Chapter 7 The Zoids Convention.

...

......

...

Bit and the rest of his team walked through the crowd of Zoid pilots and fans. His hand was cramping from signing so many autographs.... in his dream... He fell asleep on the way there. Everyone was high on anxiety. Fear that Bit had or will tell the others if they piss him off. That was the reason for why Leena was so nice to him... sort of.. she was still annoyed that he ditched her at the convention but she had given him a cookie that morning to try and sweeten him up.. no pun intended.

Brad just gave him dirty looks when he wasn't looking And Doc was looking around nervously from one team mate to the next afraid they knew this secret hobby.

Jamie was the only one unaffected. He was just trying to get Bit to read his new story... which was 3 lines long... and finished!

Bit walked ahead of them avoiding their eyes. He caught a glimpse of Leon in the distance. "Hey Leon!"

Leon turned and saw Bit. Panic as clear on his face. he looked at Naomi who was looking at Brad and waving. Bit knew now that even Leon was feeling anxieties about Bit knowing his secret Hobby. Bit sighed. "Great..."

"Bit I thought you liked Leon." Jamie said hearing Bit.

"I do, it was something else! I'm hungry again that's all!" Bit said making an excuse.

"Oh okay well there's a food court right over there."

Bit turned and began to walk for it. Everyone was following keeping an eye on him not really talking to one another... except Naomi who had no idea what was going on.

"Yeah I'll have a cheeseburger and some fries thanks." Bit said as he got to the counter.

"Sure thing hon!" Said the middle aged lady who probably couldn't get a better job since high school. No offense to anyone out there. Then Bit read the name tag. Oh.. it was the manager... Nevermind.

He turned and bumped into someone almost spilling his food. "S-Sorry... Jack?"

Bit was looking into the confused and panicked face of Jack Sisco. "Uhhh... Bit...." He looked the crowd of friends who looked funny at him. The Twins helped Bit stabilize his tray.

"Fancy meeting you here."

"Yeah." Bit said with a sweat drop.

.

...

After eating he was able to break away from the others and wander freely. Then he was a Zoids costume store. He saw a short kid in a gunsniper rubber costume. "Vega?"

The kid turned and his face turned bright red. "uh.. uh..." He threw a flier in Bit's face and fled to the inside of the store.

Bit pulled the flier of his face not bothering to read it. "Part time job? Poor Vega..." A smirk crossed Bit's face then it quickly faded when he realized Vega was going to want him to keep it a secret. "great... -.-"

.

...

Meeting back up wit the others they stared at him intently. Leon, Doc, Leena, Brad, Jack, and Jamie (but that was because he wondered if Bit was going to read his latest story) Then Naomi looked at him.. not sure why everyone else was looking at him. He turned around and saw Vega staring at him too. He was trapped.

"GAHH!!! ALRIGHT THAT'S IT!" Bit yelled. "Brad has a soft spot of animals especially Puppies!" Brad almost tore his hair out of his head. "Doc Knits!" Doc's eyes bugged out as he looked from one person to the next. "Leena Cosplays and plays dress up!" Leena turned bright red.. from both embarrassment and anger. "Leon plays D&D!" Leon looked like he was going to faint. "And Jack supports Cave Drawing Conservation!" Jack was ready to pounce. "And Jamie! Your writing isn't good it sucks! A real story can't even be summed up in 3 sentences!!!" He turned to Vega. "I don't care of you have to dress in a rubber Zoids costume for your Job! It's just a damn Job!!!" Bit fell to his knees dramatically ready to face the on coming attack.

Nothing happened.

"Brad I knew there was more to you than just a hardcore mercenary! I love puppies too! I just got one! You should come over and see her! She's soo cute!!" Naomi said grabbing his arm.

"Uh... okay..." Brad said relaxing.

"Dad you mean you made the scarf for me for my birthday! Awwwwww.." Leena said giving him a hug.

"Yeah and Leon! You must really have my genes. I played D&D in college A while back! I was pretty good!"

"Really cool! oh and Leena! you've always played dress up so it doesnt really matter... Naomi plays dress up too." Leon said calming down dramatically.

The twins looked at Jack who was both embarrassed and pissed. "You support the conservation of cave drawings too?"

"Huh?" Jack said taken off guard.

"Welcome to the club!" They said patting him on the back.

Bit sat there unsure what to do. Vega tapped him on the shoulder. "My parents own the shop, when I'm not piloting I help them out. plus I'm the only one who can fit in the costume." He smiled timidly.

"No big deal."

Then Bit remembered Jamie. He was sure to be in tears. He turned and saw Jamie looking at his notebook. "Listen Jamie..."

"You know something you're right. I'm such an amateur. You should have told me Bit I can handle criticism. But I'm glad you didn't want to hurt my feelings!" Jamie said with a smile.

"Phew." No broken bones. No gashed eyes. He was saved.

Happy Ending After all.

All That Matters

Hey everyone, this is a one-shot B/N fic I wrote, cuz I'm in a bad mood and I need to write something. Nevertheless, enjoy!

It was one of those days where everything is right. The sky was a beautiful forget-me-not blue, the sun was shining, and the weather was deliciously warm. Oh yeah, it was definitely one of those days.

Brad Hunter wished he could enjoy it like everyone else. Doc had given them a day off and the Blitz Team had eagerly gone off to have fun. Except for Brad.

The Flugel Team had arrived the day before as they had a battle near the Toros base, and of course, since Leena's brother was on the team, they had stopped by and visited. Ironically, the night before, they had all been playing truth or dare, (it was Leena's idea) and Brad somehow winded up having to ask Naomi out the next time he saw her. If he didn't, well, let's just say that the consequence would be 100 times worse than having her refuse.

The moment the Flugel Team arrived, Brad could feel the Blitz team's eyes on him, waiting for him to ask her out. He could see Leena mouthing, "Ask her out". Brad replied my mouthing, "I will!" and shooting her a look.

When the Doc announced that everyone had a day off today, Bit, Jamie, Leena, and Leon immediately took off for the beach. Doctor Toros retreated into his room, undoubtedly wanting to play with his zoid figures. Pretty soon, it was just the lone wolf of the Blitz Team and the leader of the Flugel team standing together in the living room. Brad gulped, but he knew he had to do this sooner or later. He forced down any flustering and forced himself to stay cool.

"So, you wanna go into town and get a coffee or something?" Brad asked her, while averting her gaze.

Naomi looked up, as if she couldn't quite believe what she heard. He was asking her out? Her mind raced as she tried to reply. "Hurry up and say yes or else he's gonna think you don't want to!"

"Naomi?" Brad gave a puzzled looked as she jumped, startled by his voice.

"Y-yeah?"

"You okay? You seem kinda jumpy." Brad asked, raising his eyebrows.

Naomi shook her head violently, "No, no, I'm fine. Yeah, coffee sounds great!" She replied, trying to fight down any signs of blushing, but to no avail. A pink tinge still appeared on her cheeks.

Brad smiled a bit at the sight of Naomi blushing. She looked so sweet and cute at that moment, the sun's rays reflecting off her crimson hair, and her pink cheeks made her look like an angel.

"Alright then. Wanna go now?"

"Sure!"

With that, the two headed out towards the door.

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

"Wow! That sounds exciting! What other teams were you on before the Blitz Team?" Naomi asked Brad. She was glad that all the butterflies in her stomach had gone away. Naomi was actually surprised how easy it was to talk to Brad, seeing as her heart was pounding before, but that didn't matter now. They were enjoying each other's company and that was all that mattered.

"Well, I was also on the Thunderroaders, but only for one battle. I think that was all." Brad squinted, trying to remember any other teams he had been on.

"Well, now that you know all about me, how about a little on you?" Brad asked her.

"Okay, well, let's see, I started battling when I was 14, and at first, I was on one of my friends' team. But later, I decided I wanted to do things by myself, so I started my own team. But even then, I rarely fought in team competitions. It was mostly one on one. And, then I met you guys and the rest is history." Naomi finished and took a sip of her coffee.

"Sounds like you had a good beginning, but let me ask you this. Why did you start battling? Was it for the fame, money, the love of zoids? Why?" Brad asked, curious.

Immediately, Naomi started fidgeting, looking uncomfortable with the question.

"Oh, sorry! We could talk about something else if you don' want to answer it." Brad quickly apologized, mentally reminding himself never to bring up that subject again.

"It's okay, and yes, I do want to tell you. I guess I needed to tell someone sooner or later." Naomi responded, looking down at her cup.

"No, really, you don't have to." Brad argued. But at the same time, he was feeling anxious to find out."

"I need to tell someone Brad. I can't keep it to myself forever, are you willing to listen to me?" She asked, looking up at him.

"Sure, I'll listen." Brad said, and gently closed his hand around hers.

Naomi blushed a little but she began.

"The real reason I battle is not because I loved zoids, or wanted fame and fortune. No, I started battling so I could get away from home.

----------Flashback------------

The sky was clear, birds were singing, everything looked calm and peaceful. Suddenly, a loud voice is heard.

"NAOMI! GET DOWN HERE!"

Naomi Flugel sighed, if it wasn't one thing it was another. She trudged down the steps to where her angry mother stood.

"Naomi! Didn't I tell you to keep you things in your room?" Her mother shouted, holding up Naomi's red jacket.

"I'm sorry, I meant to get it later." Naomi tried to apologize, but her mother cut her off.

"I'm tired of your lame excuses! No get out of my face!" She screamed.

Naomi dashed up the stairs and up to her room. She flung the jacket onto a chair and curled up on her bed, tears dripping down her face.

"I wish somebody loved me."

----------Flashback End---------

"Naomi, you okay?" Brad looked worried as Naomi paused for a second.

"Yeah, I'm okay. Just reliving some bad memories."

"Man, it must've been tough for you."

"It was. My parents didn't care about me. To them, I was a mistake. Something that wasn't supposed to happen, but it did. They were always yelling at me, if it wasn't one thing it was the other. At school, I was the lone wolf who didn't have any friends because I was so different." Naomi replied in a bitter tone.

"But things got better for you, right?" Brad asked, hoping he wouldn't have to hear her depressing stories anymore.

"Yeah, I told my parents I wanted to battle and they didn't give a damn. So I just went. And here I am." Naomi finished her story, and looked down at her cup.

"Man, I didn't know you went through this kind of stuff. I'm, sorry."

"Don't be."

"You know Naomi, I know that I've only know you for a short time, but I promise that I'm never going hurt you or let anyone else, for that matter."

Naomi looked up. Was this actually Brad talking? He just about never showed any emotions whatsoever.

"T-thanks." She stuttered. Naomi could feel Brad meshing her fingers with his.

They just stared at each other for a moment, until Brad broke the silence.

"It's getting kinda late. Why don't we get back to base?" He said looking over at the clock, which stated 8:19.

"Sure, the others are probably already wondering where we are." Naomi agreed and got up from her seat.

As they walked out, Brad grasped her hand, letting her know that he would always be there for her. Naomi smiled and returned the favor. At that moment, to the two young warriors, nothing else mattered, except each other.

Hope you all liked it. I know it was kind of short, but as my music teacher says, "Better have it short and sweet than long and dragging on and on!" Review if you liked it, don't if you didn't. See you next time!

The Wedding Day

The Wedding Day

By: Demoness T.K

Disclamer: I do not own Zoids. However, I wish I did but this fanfic would be in the show.

Leena Tauros smiled as she walked arm in arm with her father Steve Tauros down the aisle to her soon to be husband Bit Cloud. 'He looks cute in that tux' she thought then blushed. 'Get it together it's the biggest day of you life don't screw it up'.

"Your nervous aren't you."

A voice broke though her thoughts. It was her father, all she could do was nod her head slightly. "Don't be, I'm proud that you chose Bit over Harry." Leena couldn't help but smile. Bit and her had decided not to invite Harry but word had gotten out that they where going to be married and had showed up today to break up the wedding, but before he could say a word Brad, Naomi, Jamie, Pierce, Benjamin and Sebastian had tied and gagged him.

The walk down the aisle ended to quick for her liking .Her father released her hand, walked up to Bit, and whispered a few words of wisdom. They must have not been to reassuring, for she saw Bit's eyes go wide with shock. Leena narrowed her eyes and gave a death glare to her father. The Doc quickly backed away and pushed Bit towards Leena. (A\N: Good for the doc HAHA)

The priest said his words and turned to Leena.

"Do you Leena Star Tauros take Bit Scott Cloud to be your husband?"

"I do."

"And do you Bit Scott Cloud take Leena Star Tauros to be your wife?"

"I do."

"If anyone thinks these two should not be wed speak now or forever hold your peace."

{Silence}

Just then, Harry Champ yelled out. He had somehow gotten out of his bindings and now was yelling "NO I OBJECT LEENA'S MINE!"

{Bam}

Harry face became contorted then he fell and behind him sat a very sung looking Pierce holding her gun, she had hit Harry on the head with the handle of the gun, everyone cheered and praised her, until the priest brought them back to realty.

"I'm proud to present Mr. and Mrs. Bit Scott Cloud, you may now kiss the bride."

Bit and Leena looked into each other's eyes, Bit staring at violet eyes, and Leena sea green.

Then they kissed

Pure bliss,

And nothing in the whole planet Zi would be better than this.

Battle in the Sky

I get in the ship, and power up the guns. I fire up the engines and slingshot off the end of the cruiser. I then catch up with my team, who had I had not gone out with so I could attach a special new piece. I see the enemy coming in on modified jets, and they quickly separate and attack each of our fighters, but one hangs back. I decide to ignore that one for know and help out my team mates. I turn on the radio. I instantly hear, "I've got one on my tail and I can't shake him!" I respond, "Don't worry, I got your back." I lock on and fire a couple of laser shots at it. I hit an engine and it goes down. I decide that because there are so many I have no choice but to activate my secret weapon: the new untested air-to-air plasma bolt generator.

I fire up the generator and charge it to a highly intense ray, about the size of my hand. I fire it at the 1st of the enemy fighters, and it instantly explodes.

I repeat this process until only one jet is remaining. This one, however also had a secret weapon and it had suddenly transformed into a new form. After taking out all the ships but me, it instantly dropped to the ground. Its new form is that of a Griffin. Boy am I mad now. I guess I should avenge them, so I use my last resort: Liger Zero Schneider*. I fly back to base and detach my wings. Once I get to the mod area I transform into Schneider mode and my jet transforms into a walking laser blade storm with an energy shield, while his turns into a griffin with wings and a whole lot of guns, plus energy shield. I blaze my way through his energy shield and try and get in close, but his guns stop that plan. I decide to unleash my Zoids final attack: Seven Blades Strike. I send all the blades pointing to all sides, then power up my Liger's claws. My opponent is retracting all his guns. I wonder what he is doing. The guns on his ship retract all the way in, and that's when it hits me. He's going to try a Giga Strike! I decide to go ahead and attempt my attack anyways. I realize that if I want to defeat him I'm going to need more speed and power for my attack. I disengage the blades and decide that instead of a Schneider mode I will use a new mode, codenamed Jaeger*. I power up the ion boosters, and start to run at full speed. I charge at full speed yelling "Strike Laser Claw!" I rush at full speed, (which is very fast) and take him down. It's almost not enough, but it works. I win the battle and fly back to the ship. Too bad it's only a simulator on a US NAVY Battleship.

Letting Go

**LETTING GO**

"_And all the talk and all the lies/ Were all the empty things disguised as me" _

_ (The Goo Goo Dolls, Sympathy)_

* * *

It was hard coming home every night, seeing her sitting there talking on the phone to someone else. Seeing her smiling, and knowing that no matter how much he wanted it, he could never have her. He knew he had to get over her, but somethings where easier said then done.

It had been two months since the Royal Cup, but things hadn't really changed much except for the sudden bond of friendship between Kris and himself. It was more of a rehab buddy then anything else, but this was more complicated then some twelve step process. No, this dealt with people's hearts.

Such a fickle thing, really. He never did quite understand what caused people to fall in and out of love. There was no regular pattern to follow, or common routine. Just, something inside of you changes. And he still wasn't sure if he wanted that something to come.

Naomi sat her legs curled up at her side, in front of the video telephone, talking with Brad. For both them being people of very few words it was surprising how much time they spent on the phone just talking. Leon chuckled softly as he walked past, noting the time. They had been on the phone for an hour- funny how people can bring out different sides of others.

"Alright, so I'll see ya tomorrow?" Naomi smiled, even through the darkness, he knew she was smiling. Goodbye was never a depressing thing for that girl, she never looked at those things as the ending of something, more like the starting of something new.

"Course, I'll pick you up about eight." Brad had seemed to take on a new life since he caught her heart. He smiled a bit more, Leon smiled as he remembered seeing the usually monotone mercenary skipping around the base, he thought he was going to die of shock.

"Goodbye!"

"Bye."

Naomi didn't even have to turn around to notice his presence, "hey Leon, glad to see your back," she turned around in her chair and smiled at her partner, "Brad told me you had left a couple of hours ago, I was starting to wonder where you where."

Leon smiled, "I was just around."

"Around?" She raised her eyebrows, "let me guess, you met some girl and have been sneaking around with her these past few weeks."

"Not exactly," Leon shook his head, he had found a girl a long time ago, but she hadn't found him yet.

She smiled, "oh really? Because what are these reports of you and Kris Tasker being seen hanging around town together?" She stood up and walked over to him, putting her finger on his nose, "you know you can't keep a secret like that for very long," she teased him.

Leon shook his head, "nah, me and Kris are just friends. But I wasn't with her tonight," he lied. He had been spending a lot of time with Kris lately, both of them could talk to each other so easily. But he didn't want Naomi getting the wrong idea about them, just in case.

"Oh really? Then where were you?" She put her hands on her hips, "you know it only takes about a half hour to get to the Toros base and back."

Leon smiled, "that's my little secret."

Naomi rolled her eyes, "you know for being the mature one, you sure are annoying as hell."

"Thanks."

"No problem." He smiled as he walked away, scooting into his room. Once inside his place of solitude, he closed the door softly so she would not hear. Then he turned, leaning his body against the door. His eyes darted around the room, his breathing growing heavy. It was getting harder and harder to ignore. Each day his jealously grew and grew and grew. He could feel it welling up inside of him, trying to push it's way out.

It would be so simple. Once Brad was gone, Naomi would turn to him. Maybe even come to realize that she was perfect for him. Then one day she would admit her love for him, and he would take her in his arms and never let her go. They could be married on a hill, surrounded by all their family and friends. She would wear a long white dress, and him, he would wear a dressy tuxedo that made him look like a penguin. They could live in a small home, just out of town, but away from the desert. He could play with the children in the yard, while she cooked a nice dinner for the four of them.

His smile grew and grew as he thought about all these things he could have. But it grew somber as he realized it was only a dream. A fool's prospective on reality, really. His body slid down the cold door, until he felt the hard floor beneath him.

He shook his head, trying to wash away that dream. Brad was his friend, no matter what had happened between him and Naomi. He had no idea of Leon's feelings for the red comet, he himself was never much of a romantic. Each time Naomi kissed him in front of people, he would blush and mumble something incoherent.

Naomi thought that was cute. The girl had the nerve to tell him that, he who so longed for her sweet kisses. She said that he couldn't keep a secret, well the fact was that he had been for several years now. Once, a couple of months ago, he thought he had a chance with her. Especially after he joined her team. He had let his head get big, Naomi had asked him after all, he was sure it must have meant something. But all it meant was for Naomi to have a skilled pilot and a nice guy around. In other words: a friend.

A fucking friend. That's all he was to her. She would tell him things that no one else knew, but that was all changing. Now all she ever talked about was Brad. Brad this, Brad that. He couldn't take it anymore!

He grabbed two handfuls of hair, wishing he could scream out. His breathing got heavier as he looked around the room, everything in it reminded him of her. She had been in his room plenty of times, he could see in clearly in his head wandering around in it. Laughing and smiling.

He had to get out of there. It was driving him insane.

Slowly he crawled from his position on the floor up over to his window, opening it up slowly and saying a silent prayer that Naomi wouldn't notice his disappearance. He carefully slid out the window, lowering himself down until he could feel the hard ground beneath his feet. He had to chuckle to himself, he never quite pictured himself sneaking out at this age. When he was younger, maybe, but now, never. Especially since he didn't live with his father anymore.

That was just how pathetic he was getting. He didn't want her to know he was weak, or that he was suffering. Things would just get so awkward between them, and he sure as hell didn't want that. At least as a friend he had a chance with her, a slim one, but a chance none the less. And at least this way he could see her everyday, see her smile, talk with her, laugh with her. At least this way he could pretend, just fool himself into thinking that she loved him back. That she was his.

But the sad truth of the matter was, no matter how hard he tired to forget, he always remembered.

Leon walked up to a familiar sight, the bright neon lights of the bar creating a riot of colors against the dreary night sky. Fooling its visitor that this was a happy place, that they could be at peace there. The bar had become apart of him in these past few months, the bartenders starting to treat him like a regular, knowing his drink, his name, it was like that old television show. What was it called? He could hear it's theme song playing over and over again in the back of his mind, "you wanna be where you can see, the troubles aren't always what they seem," he began to hum along to it's lies, "you wanna be where everybody knows your name." Cheers. That was the name of the show. Cheers. A pathetic excuse for reality really, no amount of alcohol could drown out your troubles. Even if you passed out, when you woke up, the first thing that came to your mind was your problem.

He walked into the bar, taking his usual seat at the counter, still humming the song. The thing about troubles where that they clung to you like a sickness, latching on to your brain and bit by bit ripping apart your heart until there was nothing left to tear.

"Hey Leon, the usual?" The overly perky bartender greeted him.

He mumbled something even he didn't understand, and nodded. Maybe she understood what he said, because she turned and got him his drink in record time. It was probably something threatening, because she left him as soon as she gave him his beer. He didn't care.

"You know you're breaking the rules," a familiar voice came from behind him, trying to sound as amused as possible.

"Then explain to me why you're here, Kris," Leon forced a smile, not even bothering to turn around and look at her.

"I needed to get wasted, I figured this would be the best place. And besides, this was your resolution, not mine."

"Whatever," he mumbled, motioning for her to take a seat next to him. "And I never said that I couldn't get wasted, I just said that I was gonna try to not get casually drunk. Drunk and wasted are two different things."

She plopped down besides him, holding her almost finished beer in between her hands. "So, couldn't stand to stay away from me, could ya?"

"Are you drunk?"

"That is kinda the plan," she laughed, "well actually the plan is to get wasted, but drunk just kinda happens along the way, y'know?"

"I knew there was something up with you," he teased.

"Ha, ha, ha, you know very well I'm not drunk," she paused, taking a huge gulp and finishing off her drink, "yet."

"Always such a lady," he smiled, taking a huge slip of his drink.

"Always such a sore loser," she teased pointing out the fact that she had just drunk a lot more of her beer the he had of his.

"Ha, ha, ha."

They both sat in a comfortable silence for a long time, both just drinking as much as they possibly could before the threat of vomiting would come into play. The music sang in the background, the singer weaving a lonely sob story about love and loss. But the notes seemed almost lost to the two pilots. Both so emerged in their task of forgetting that everything else but the one thing they wanted to forget would disappear.

"I found out something funny today," Kris said flatly, downing another beer.

"What?"

"You remember how Kelly acted so funny for so long right after Jack moved in."

"No, but I wasn't there," Leon reminded her, motioning the bartender for another round of beers for the both of them.

"It's because her and Jack were together back then," she spat, pushing away the glass so that it moved down the long bar. "They were sneaking around, cause they said they didn't wanna hurt my feelings! Can you believe that!"

Leon watched her closely, looking at all the little things he had noticed about her in the past weeks he had spent with her. How her right eyebrow would arch when she yelled, the shape her mouth made when she spoke is disgust. How strands of hair would always fall out of her tight bun and into her face when she was drunk. And how she had five different smiles: one for when she was truly happy, one for when she was laughing, one for when she was just trying to be polite, one for when she saw her friends, and one, one for when she was so drunk that everything was hilarious. A spoon, a singer, a bum, anything was up for grabs.

"Those bastards," she stuttered in a drunken fashion, picking up her next bottle. "You know what, in that affect, their actually quite perfect for one another!"

"Love sucks," Leon mumbled, downing yet another beer. "Why do we even bother?"

"I donno," she said sadly, "I guess to me, he was, he was, he was everything I thought I wanted."

"What do you want?"

She smiled dreamily, closing her eyes and picturing her dream guy, "the kind of guy that you can depend on, that you know won't run away. You know, he's there for me at my low points and still loves me, even if I'm wasted." She laughed slightly, "which, apparently happens a lot now," she let out a snort, which in turn caused both of them to laugh. "Y'know, he's the kind of guy that I can talk to, that's loving, and supportive, that shares things that happened to him too, someone like, someone like," she jerked open her eyes, not wanting to finish her thought.

"Someone like, who?"

She bit her bottom lip, "someone like you."

Leon sat back in his chair, not sure of how to take this revelation. Sure, they were both a little on the drunk side, not wasted yet, but both well on their way, but still. His normal self was screaming at him to say something back, told him that he had fallen in love with her over the past months. Without another thought, he leaned in, grabbing her face, and pulling her lips to meet his in a fiery and passionate kiss.

Actions did always speak louder then words.

Kris kissed him back, parting her lips open ever so slightly to let his tongue inside and wrestle with her own. There was a spark, hell, there were fireworks. Maybe they were drunk, maybe this was a huge mistake. All they knew, was in that moment, they were happy. They had finally let go.

And it wasn't as scary as they thought it would be. In fact, it was magical.

_I had written this fic because almost all of my reviews asked to me update to the next chapter soon. Well, I thought I had made it pretty clear that the fic I had written was meant to be a standalone fic when I posted it. But the idea of a Kris/Leon hook-up was still impending a story or something. It sounded like a fun couple, espically since neither of their characters were extremely well developed in the series. Left a lot of room for me to fill in, which meant, less complaints in reviews about how my characters a sooo different. I hate that. _

_Anyways, I started work on this about a couple months after I posted Holding On and actually have two different verisons of it. I just happened to like this one better, the whole dirnking thing, adn the fact that we really don't know what's gonna happen to them. It's just up in the air, like how the last one left off. _

_Well, I hope I didn't bore you too much. Reviews would be most awesome._
