Love Walks In- A Lemon of Love


I nervously sat on the leather sofa in the giant living room inside the huge T shaped tower, twiddling my fingers in the bouque of sunflowers I had bought earlier. I was dressed in an orange kimono, with black sache to hold it around my waist, with that I wore a black bandana to keep my long brunette hair out of my face, a white and black striped mask, and black steal-toed boots. Over the sache I wore a yellow belt, a belt with bottomless compartments stocked with many weapons, and items used for melee combat. And at my side was a big sheathed sword. Why am I dressed in this traditional japanese garment? And who am I you may ask? Well my name is Adam, Adam Rhode and I'm a super hero. Albatross is my hero name, yes it's that giant bird. This may be hard to believe but I'm not just any hero, I'm a teen titan. You see for as long as I can remember I had lived on a monastery in Tibet. I don't know why I was sent to live there, I can't even remember anything before I was sent to live there. But all in all I thank whoever sent me there, I was trained in over fifty forms of martial arts, and nearly every fighting strategy I could ever need. But on the day of my fourteenth birthday, my life changed forever. A monk brought a letter addressed to me, it was from my idol. The great hero, Robin. It said that there was a great evil arrising and that he chose me to inherit his identity since he had ditched it and became Nightwing, not only that he had left me the fabeled Titans Tower located in the distant Jump City. Which was in Japan. I was to live in it and form a team of super powered teenagers and save the world the way he saved it with his team. Now I knew it was my destiny to follow in the foot steps of my hero, create a team as great as his and save the world. I left the monastery with my wooden sword, and the utility belt that arrived with the note.


But when I arrived at the tower I found that it wasn't all it was cracked up to be at first. I litterally had to adopt the identity of Robin, I had to wear the costume all the time-it was really itchy and I couldn't stand the color sceme-and do everything Robin did. But I tried my hardest perservier; getting the old run-down tower back in shape, and solving crimes. It seemed like the bad guys were just waiting for me because the alarm sounded almost every five minutes. Not only that I could barely practice to better myself for my other goal. I wanted more than anything besides becoming a super hero, and finding a girl friend was to be the worlds greatest Blitzball player. (yeah, for those of you who are about to yell at me, Blitzball is from Final Fantasy X) The monastery I was in had its own superb Blitzball team that was the best I had ever seen, I wanted so much to play along-side them and be as good as them. I even created my own technique. I called it the Rocket Shot, a super powerfull goal kick with which I blast the ball out of the top of the stadium sphere like a rocket, fly out of the water, spin around several times to pick up momentum, and kick the ball into the goal with tremendous velocity. The only problem was no matter how hard I tried I couldn't perfect it. And when I arrived in Jump City I was surprised to find that they didn't have a Blitzball team, that gave me the perfect oppurtunity to create my own. The only downfall was that I couldn't do it all alone, I desperately needed help and there was no one with the kind of strength, knowledge, or power I needed in my quest for peace and to become Blitzball world champion. I was about ready to give up. But than destiny reared its pretty head and bestowed upon me four other teenagers who were supposed to inherit the identity of other Teen Titans. Together we became Robin II, Starfire II, Terra II, Raven II, and Speedy II. The Teen Titans. The only trouble is we hated having to pass oursevles off as the old Teen Titans because we weren't the Teen Titans. We were different, way different than them. And because of that we totally reformed ourselves; creating new costumes, new names, and a whole new team. We became Albatross (me), Stormfire, Gaia, Magister, and Slash the Beta Teen Titans. Besides being super heroes we also became a Blitzball team, and even though we got off to a rocky start we eventually became one of the best teams the world has ever seen.


But now that we got that cleared up, you're still probably wondering why I'm wearing these clothes that looks like a shower robe? Well my team mates and I are going to a big festival made by the mayor of Jump City in our honor. You see in our time as a team we have definately lived up to being worthy of the good name of the Teen Titans. We saved the whole world from a diabolical villian master mind. Also we saved our planets past, present, and future from a legendary disaster that would bring about the apocalypse. And not only have we saved the world on countless ocassions we also became the Blitzball world champions. Thanks to our incredible team work, skill, and my perfected Rocket Shot. The city decided to throw a party in honor of our achievements and all we've done for them. Up until we arrived and the Teen Titans disbanded crime had gone up exponentially. And the Beta Teen Titans pretty much brought it down to zero. We were all going together, it was going to be really fun. There would be food, games, a ceremony to honor us, and even dancing. But I wasn't going there to have fun, I had fun just having a day off from crime fighting and my responsibilities as leader. I had my own intensions. *blushes* You see,I really wanted to go because....


"Hey Adam, you ready to go to the festival" a voice called out to me from the shadows of the dark hallway leading further into the tower. I gasped in surprise and quickly stuffed the flowers in the back cushion of the couch. I tried to act nonchalant as I watched three of my four friends/team mates enter the room. "So you ready dude" one of them said. "Yeah, I've been ready for the past twenty minutes I replied casually. He was the one who called me earlier, this titan was my best friend and my greatest rival. His name was Bryan and his hero name was Slash. He was much like me right down to our competitive nature. The only noticable differences between us was that he was asian in origin-I'm actually american-and he was a superior swordsman. I was great with a sword but he was a hundred times better, his weapon was a katana. He wore a black kimono with white sache, a mask over his eyes identical to mine, steal-toed boots, and his sheathed sword at his side. "Yeah, don't wanna be late for this stupid festival being held in our honor" said another member of the team. This was the darkest, and most mysterious member of the group. He was Nicholas Magister, or just simply Nick. He came from a different dimension, a dimension called Azarath. Originally he came to Earth to enslave the human race, but he didn't do it of his own free will. The orders were give to him by his father Trigon IV. In reality he wanted to help people so I recruited him, but not only that he was the great great great nephew of an old Teen Titan. Raven. (don't worry, I'd imagine Azarathians don't age very fast so Raven wouldn't look too old) He was cool, and an awesome fighter with his telekinesis and magical spells. Even though he could be a pissy jerk at times, and besides the fact that he was gay he was a great friend nontheless. He was wearing a midnight blue kimono, an equally blue sache, his blue shoes, and his hooded blue cape. I smiled and nodded, "got a point there Nick. I still can't believe we saved the world numerous times and became Blitzball world champions. I never would of thought we could do it." One of the two girls on our team who had arrived in the room with Bryan, and Nick said "without your guidance Adam we may have not been able to save the world and obtain the title of Blitzball world champions. We all may have been lost without you. So shall we all journey to the squared center of Jump City and do the partying at the festival of fun?" Besides being one of the only girls on our team she was the tallest, oldest and possibly the strongest. She was an alien from the planet Tamaran in the distant Vega galaxy, and was the neice of the old Teen Titan, Starfire. With the power to fly and charge energy into power bursts of energy called storm bolts she was Graciand'r, but we called her Grace for short, and her hero name was Stormfire. She was dressed in an indigo kimono, black sache, her indigo forearm protectors, and black platform boots. (these are actually my friends, if you've read the Dare fic than you'll know them) I said "thanks Grace," it was great to see all my friends in the room with me, willing to go to the festival but there was one person missing, the one I had been looking foreword to seeing all night. I decided to sit and wait for her, not knowing what she could be up to but I knew she wouldn't break the promise she made to me. I blushed and looked away, "uh...you guys go to the festival without me, I'll wait here for awhile." Grace tilted her head, "why's that Adam?" I kept my head turned away, wanting to conceal my embarrassing blush and said "I...have some reports I still gotta fill out." I tried my hardest to sound convincing but I knew my friends were all as sharp as a tack. Nick crossed his arms and grinned, "that's total b.s." he said. Bryan grinned and said "yeah, we all know why you wanna wait." I knew those grins on their faces, it was the grins that guys had just as they were about to fuck with each other. And I knew they were gonna fuck with me about my secret, my feelings for the other girl titan.


Bryan said "you finally get the balls to ask Jod out on a date?" I gasped and quickly shot back "no I did not, we're not going out on a date! We're just going to the thing together, hang out and do some stuff together. All right? No date so lets just drop it." For those of you who don't know we're talking about the other girl titan. Her name was Jodie but we always called her Jod for short. Her hero name was Gaia. (like the earth spirit from "Captain Planet") She was originally a drifter who wandered from city to city, causing trouble with her uncontrollable powers, but it all wasn't her fault. She wanted to help people more than anything in the world. So we took her in and made her a Beta Teen Titan, and she eventually got total control of her powers. Well close enough, at this point and time she has eighty percent control over her powers. Her powers by the way are pretty much the same as Nicks only she has more control over the earth. Nick rolled his eyes and huffed annoyingly, he said "look, you don't have to hide it from us. We all know how you feel about Jodie now stop acting embarrassed, a leader shouldn't be so ridiculos." I knew he didn't mean what he said but I was to angered to realize it." "Look," I said, "let me make this clear to you guys. We're just gonna go to the festival and hang out. Nothing more. It's just like how Bryans gonna hang out with his girlfriend, and how both of you are gonna hang out together. Besides, I can't love. I have way too much to do, way too many responsibilities. The last thing I have time for is a relationship. And still, even if I did like her like that, which I don't she could never go for a guy like me."


I hoped they were conivced, because I didn't have anything left to say in my defence. Bryan shrugged his shoulders and said "whatever dude, we're outta here. Come on guys." He headed for the elevator, followed by Nick. I could vaguely hear him say as he entered the elevator alongside Bryan, "he doesn't even know how Jod feels about him does he?" As the doors closed I could barely hear Bryan said "doesn't know a damn thing." Once I had a feeling they were officaily gone I watched as Grace floated over to the staircase, just as she was about to fly down the inding stairwell I halted her. "Grace, hold up." She turned around to look at me and said "yes Adam, what is wrong?" I inhaled and exhaled deeply, knowing I could count on her to keep anything a secret. I said under my breath, "do you know if Jod's gonna be ready soon?" She stared at me for a second than smiled and nodded. "Last time I witnessed her appearancer she was just exiting the shower facility. She should be completing dressing in her kimono." I smiled and said "thanks Grace, now you go on. Don't want the guys to leave you behind." She nodded, "good bye benevolent leader. I wish to see you, and Jodie at the festival very soon." And with that she jetted down the stairs, leaving me alone. That was the one thing I liked about Grace, I could talk to her about anything and she'd understand my problems, it was a little weird though since she had only been on earth for about two years. Oh well. (this is exactly how me and my friends act around each other, or close enough to it)


I continued to wait in the living room, staring out of the huge glass window that covered an entire wall, and twiddle my fingers nervously in the flowers. Thankfully none of them were domaged when I stuffed them in the couch. Wonder why I'm so nervous? Well even though I heavilly denied it in front of my friends I couldn't deny the feelings in my heart. Yes, I was in love with Jodie. It was real love like over the moon, head over heals, full on, gaga, want to travel to the end of the world, willing to do anything to protect love. I loved her exactly like that, I loved her more than anything else in the whole fucking world. More than being the leader of the worlds most premeire teenage crime fighting league, and being the captain and star player of the best Blitzball team up to date. I would gladly give everything I possesed and knew if I could just be with her. But sadly, it could never happen. It was like everything was against us having a relationship. We had a ton of responsibilities as Teen Titans and Blitzball players, there was about a million things that practically created an invisible brick wall between us, and there was our team mates who constantly got in the way when I tried to have an intimate moment with her. And what made it even more hopeless was when she once told me she couldn't love because she was never taught how to, being an orphan for most of her life. But it was great nonetheless knowing that she was my bestfriend through and through and cared about me so much. But that somehow wasn't enough, I at least had to let her know how I felt about her. Because these pent-up feelings were eating me up inside like acid, if I told her that I loved her than maybe she would still be my friend. Hopefully. (this is pretty much how me and my girlfriends relationship panned out. It's practically identital to how we got together)


After ten silent minutes of waiting for Jod I sighed and thought "maybe it was a bad idea asking her out, she probably hates my fucking guts. *sigh* Might as well just go to sleep in my room or something, because that's all I really feel like doing." I arose from the couch, buried my hands in the sides of my sache with the flowers still in hand and began walking down the hallway leading into where each of the Titans rooms were located. Half way down the hall in the moment where I was spacing out in my own feelings I accidently bumped into something...or someone . I gasped at who I saw, I couldn't believe that it was Jod. "Adam!" She said, surprised. "Jod," I said quietly, in equal surprise. "H...hey dude" I said stupidly. I could do nothing but just stand in front of her, basking in her unearthly beauty. She looked absolutely gorgeous, I was actually surprised to see that a girl as perfect as her could be even more perfect. Her honey blond hair tied back in a ponytail, her prisitne blue eyes sparkling in the florescent lighting of the hallway, and her stunning body encased in a beautiful ruby red kimono with white sache made her look even more irresistible than usual. I needed an extra minute to take this new, spectacular image in. However, she caught onto my unintensional stareing and said "um...do you still wanna go with me to the festival?" I shook my head, trying to get myself back into reality and said rather quickly. "oh uh no, I mean yes I do, sure I wanna go with you to the festival. But uh first, these are for you." And thats when I presented the bouque of sunflowers I had been hanging onto since this afternoon. Jodie accepted them and said "oh, Adam thank you." She buried her face in them, taking in the scent of the pretty yellow flowers. It might've been my imagination but I think I saw her face turn a shade of red. She held them with both hands than walked past me, but just as she walked past she leaned in to kiss me on the cheek. A faint smile crossed my lips at the contact, than she said "he he that's for the flowers, Albatross." Than she walked away, headed for the living room. I stood in the hallway, gently rubbing the spot where she kissed me. That's about as far as I ever got with her but I feel like that isn't far enough. How I've longed for the feeling of her soft, sweet lips pressed against my own, I never got kissed on the lips by a girl before and it would be extra sweet if my first time was with her. But I couldn't ask her to do that, cuz not only is that invading her personal boundaries but I asked for something like that she'd probably think I was a pervert. Oh well, I can only keep dreaming until the illfated day came.


Once I finished absorbing the sudden kiss, I followed Jodie into the living room. I spotted her in the kitchen filling up a glass with water and delicately placeing the sunflowers inside the half full crystal glass. When she turned to bring the makeshift vase full of flowers over to the bar area that I was sitting at. I said "yo. You look beautiful in your kimono Jod." She placed the flowers in front of me and said "aww, thanks. You don't look so bad yourself." "Cool," I replied. "I didn't think I'd look to good in an orange kimono but does it make my ass look flat?" I jumped out of the chair and turned around for her to make an opinion. I heard her chuckle and say "don't worry Adam, your ass looks just fine." I said "sweet. But I'm not sure about wearing my utility belt with it. Kinda clashes with the...oh god I've been hanging around Nick too long!" I could hear Jodie laugh at my comment about our lovable gay friend, than said "well don't you gotta have your belt with you? Doesn't the Blitz Wonder, Albatross, leader of the Beta Teen Titans need to be ready for any dire situation?" I nodded, "you got it dude. Speakin' of which, hows your training been going?" "Great" she replied enthusiastically. I knew her powers meant a lot to her since they ruined most of her life, but that was beside the point. When she joined I helped set up a training program for her that would help her learn to control her powers. "The battle simulator says I have over eigty-five percent control over my powers now" she said happily. I smiled and said "that's awesome Jod. Only a bit more training and you'll be in total control of your powers but we'll work on that some other time. The guys are expecting us to be at that festival." Jodie said "I almost forgot, we got a party to get to." I walked over to the elevator and held the door open for her as she walked by. "Ladies first," I said as she walked into the elevator trolly. "Your such a gentleman," Jodie said inbetween giggles. "That I am," I said as I joined her in the decent to the first floor and exit of Titans Tower. (yes, that is pretty much a normal conversation between me and my girlfriend. ^_^;)


We rode the elevator down, talking about music, writing, Blitzball, cartoons, and other seemingly meaningless things until we came to the first floor. We walked into the vehicle docking bay where my baby, my airship the Elbatross waited. It was a present given to me for the birthday where I left for Jump City. It looked like a plain, uninteresting eliptical shaped object with wings but it was much more than that. It's by far the fastest aircraft to ever be invented, able to exceed the speed of light, is very nimble and easy to maneuver. It also has powerfull chargable laser cannons, and a stock pile of smart bombs for aerial combat. Over all the adventures I've had with the Beta Teen Titans it's also been given the abilities to travel into deep sea, deep space, and the ability to travel through time. The only downside of the Elbatross is that it only seats three people at a time and requires a rare, expensive fuel that I'm not in liberty to talk about. (cuz I don't know any rare fuels) I'd like to talk more about my wicked cool airship but I have a date to get back to.


I jumped onto the Elbatross and helped Jod onto it, we climbed into the cockpit, I sat in the front seat since I was the only one who knew how to work my ship and she sat in one of the two remaining seats behind me. I pressed a few of the blinking buttons on the Elbatrosses control panel and I heard the engine rev up, than I pressed another button on the roof of the ship that opened up the huge release door. "Ready" I asked, turning around to Jodie. She nodded "yup, let her rip Blitz Wonder." I returned my focus back to piloting, I gripped the double sticked controller and said "ok, Elbatross away!" I pushed my foot on the gas pedal and the craft slinged out of the docking bay, we took off into the night sky at a moderate speed of sixty miles per hour. I knew the Elbatross could surpass even light but there was no need for that since Jump Square was only about fifty or so miles from the tower. It only took about five minutes for us to fly from the tower to the beautifully lit and decorated Jump Square. We found a parking space right in front of the main entrance with a sign saying "Reserved for our saviors, the Beta Teen Titans. I landed the Elbatross and we both exited the aircraft. I helped Jodie down just like I helped her get in, when we walked up we both surprised at how many people; men, women, and children wearing kimonos were inside. I was surprised like you wouldn't believe, I had no idea so many people cared enough about us to come to a festival celebrating what we've done. But I shouldn't have been too surprised since we have saved the city from certain destruction on numerous occasions and brought them into the world of professional Blitzball. It didn't take long for Jodie and I to find our friends, near the main gate of the carnival we found Grace, Nick, Bryan, and his girlfriend Ratchel. We all exchanges "hey's", "whats up's", and "good to see you's." And before we all broke off to do what we wanted to do Nick, and Bryan gave me a little bull shit and asked "are you and Jod finally going to do it." I sharply replied "for the last fucking time, no. I'll see you guys later." And I broke off to enjoy the festivals activities with Jodie.


For the next three hours we all spent time doing whatever we wanted at the festival. Bryan danced and played games with his
girlfriend, Nick and Grace paled around together trying to pick up any single men who came to the festival. But while they did the stupid shit they wanted to do I was having a great time with Jodie. We had been on a couple dates before but this was by far the funnest. We played a ton of games, rode all the rides, and viewed all the shows that took place in the theatre. A lot of them were recreations of Beta Teen Titan battles. It was really fun watching a struggling actor mimmicing me, he did a real good job of getting my character exactly right, although his sword fighting technique sucked horribly. But during it Jodie said that dude didn't compare at all to me which I thought was really sweet. While walking through the spacious walk ways of the square we were stopped numerous times by different people. Mostly children and teenagers, but some adults. the adults gave us praise for saving them but the kids and teenagers constantly said how cool the Beta Teen Titans were and how they wanted to be like us. And some of the people who stopped us said Jod and I were the cutest couple they had ever seen and that we really should get together, otherwise all the hardcore fans would go insane. This was news to me, people actually thought me and Jod made a great couple? But each time someone said that I simply replied "I'm afraid thats not going to happen, Gaia and I are just friends." I called her Gaia because we were known to the people by our super hero names. But each time I said those words something tore me up inside, because I knew it was a lie. I wanted to be with Jodie but I also knew that it couldn't happen no matter what I did. I was having a lot of fun with her, I just hoped she was having fun with me. We played more of the games of chance for awhile before deciding to stop and get something to eat. "Phew" I said, rubbing a bead of sweat from my brow and biting into my cheesburger. After swallowing I said "this is the best, I've never seen so many people so care free and happy. Peace, and justice. It's like a dream come true. What about you Jod? Are you havin' a good time?" She sat across the circular table from me, sipping pink lemonade through a straw from a paper cup with a slice of cheese pizza on her plate, and signing autographs. "What was that" she asked, I knew she couldn't hear to well over the clamor of children behind us who kept yelling for her signature. I said "I asked if you were having a good time?" "Oh" she said as she signed the last slip of paper, as the children ran off happily she said "yeah. I'm having a great time Adam. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun." I said "that's great, glad to hear you're enjoying yourself." She said "thanks for asking me to it, I don't think I would've had so much fun if it wasn't with you." I replied "I wouldn't have had fun without you either. I got a feeling if I hung with Bryan he'd rope me into some stupid competion that I couldn't avoid. Or if I was with grace she'd spend half the time asking questions, I don't mind her questions but sometimes it gets on my nerves. And I seriously doubt Nick would want to do half the stuff we've done." Jodie giggled and said "yeah, but those are our friends" "and we love them" I finished with a chuckle.


Than suddenly I remembered that I wanted to give her something. "Jod" I said, I opened up my kimono top and dug around between my top and under shirt. I could see her looking at me questioningly, I mentally hoped she liked what I wanted to give her. I found what I was looking for, it was a prize I won in a target shooting game I won earlier. "This is for you" I said, as I laid the prize on the table. Once I removed my hand I revealed a little plush hedgehog doll with a rubber face, rubber ears, and rubber paws. She looked at the life sized hedgehog and plucked it from the table. I said "I wanted to give it you, I love hedgehogs and I thought you'd like it to." I waited for her to reply as she inspected the hedgehog doll in her hands, it didn't take long for her to give me one of those sweet smiles that melted my heart and said "oh Adam, he's so cute. I love it." I watched quietly as she rubbed the spiked side of the hedgehog doll against her cheek and thought "god I wish I was that doll." Jodie than said "oh yeah I almost forgot." She pulled her kimono about an inch open and reached into it, I watched her questioningly. Jodie found what she was looking for and pulled it out, it looked like another doll. I couldn't exactly tell what it was because it just looked like a polyester ball with rubber wings. Jodie smiled warmly and said "its for you," I cocked an eyebrow in confusion, unable to tell what it was. "what is it" I asked, "open up the wings dummy" she replied. I gently took the ball and opened up the rubber wings. It was a bat, a fruit bat baring its fangs. Its body was made of the felt material that all small dolls were made of, with rubber ears, rubber wings, and plastic claws. If you stood it up it looked like it was getting ready to swoop down. "A bat" I said surprised and happy. "Uh huh" she nodded, holding the hedgehog close to her chest for some reason. She said, "you know me I love bats, and just like the hedgehog you gave to me I figured you would like the bat I gave you." "I do like it" I said quickly, "I like all animals except ferrets of course. Damn ferrets. But still bats are cool, they're kinda like hedeghogs."


"How" Jodie asked me. I sweatdropped "well uh.....you see uh...." I had no idea how to explain it, I wasn't quite sure if bats and hedgehogs were remotely the same. I stammered, trying to rake my brain for an answer. I couldn't find an answer so I said "I....don't know." I thought "nice going genius, you looked like a fuckin' idiot in front of the girl you love. She probably thinks I'm a complete dip shit." I sulked, expecting her to get up and leave but I heard something totally unexpected. She was actually laughing, and I could tell it wasn't a laughing at laugh it was a laughing with laugh. "Oh Adam" she said inbetween laughs. "Why are you laughing" I asked, "a leader shouldn't sound so stupid. It's embarrassing for all of us." She stopped laughing, cleaing a tear of joy. Jodie said "it's not stupid Adam. It's funny, and I don't care if you can't explain things. It doesn't make you stupid, in fact that's one of the things we all like about you." "Really" I asked. "Really, I actually find it...kind of cute" she said, smiling sweetly at me. "C...cute" I said to myself, I couldn't believe she said that. And I couldn't believe anyone could be as nice or as sweet and caring as her, nobody has ever been this nice to me in my entire life. It was a little hard to believe but that's when I realized this was as good a time to express exactly how I feel. I just hope she would feel the same way for me or still be my friend if she didn't feel that way. I said confidentally "Jod....I gotta tell you something." "Sure Adam" she said happily. "I...I...I..." I stammered, I wanted more than anything to tell her but something was holding me back, and my brain was telling me this really wasn't the right moment. I was just about to spill it when an annoucment came over the loud speaker wired throughout the square, "all fairgoers please report to the center of Jump Square for the Beta Teen Titans thank you ceremony," something suddenly sparked in my mind "oh fuck," I thought. It just dawned on me that in our invitation to the festival there was a note speaking of a very important thank you ceremony, and I forgot it. Jodie asked "thank you ceremony? What's that all about?" I rose up from my chair and said "I forgot to tell everbody, ah damn my scatterbrainedness. We gotta motor." She rose up and walked over to me with the two dolls, "come on than lets go." I seized the bat doll, stuffed it into my kimono top, grabbed her hand and ran for the place where we were supposed to go.


Luckilly Jod and I were able to arrive in the center of Jump Square where there was a stage and a podium set up, in front of the stage and nearly every person who showed up at the fair and to the side was Nick, Grace, and Bryan waiting impatinetly. The mayor of Jump City was currently giving a speech about how the city might've been destroyed if it weren't for us, and if it weren't for us the city would've never got its name in a sports record book-none of their teams are very good-, and now on behalf of the city he'd like to extend his gratitude to us. That gave me about three minutes to come up with a good excuse for why I didn't tell everyone about this ceremony, how sorry I am, and I attempted to sweeten the deal by saying we were going to get gifts. Jodie, and Grace quickly forgave me like usual, Bryan was less angry because he really liked the idea of getting gifts. Nick was about to give me another lecture, I could tell by the expression on his face but than he said "ok, no lectures this time" all of us were actually surprised, everytime I fucked up in my duties as leader he'd lecture me. I did appreciate his lectures, they did help half the time whenever I actually listened. He he I guess even he can be materialistic when there's free stuff on the table. Everyone forgave me for my scatterbrained forgetfullness and the mayor called us up onto the stage. We filed onto the stage with fanfare and thundering cheers from every single person in the audience. We spotted signs with our names on them, people yelling they loved us, and saying we ruled. All of us couldn't help but smile, all this fanfare was too much for even us. AAnd so we mentally agreed to do something special for the crowd. The pattented victory poses!!!!!


The crowd roared like a raging hurricane as we gave the sequence of moves we usually performed after winning an intense fight. We did them at the exact same time but I'll describe them seperately. I unsheathed my heavy sword, the Buster Blade and started performing my moves; twirl the blade in my hand by the handle, than throw it up in the air, catch it in my hand, swiped the air diagnally once and propped the giant blade on my shoulder in a heroic pose. (mixture of Clouds, Squalls, and Tidus' victory poses from the Final Fantasy series) Grace hovered in the air with two stormbolts in her hands. She slowly spun around once leaving cool streaks with the storm bolts than she landed and bowed with the circle storm bolt streak left in the air. Jodie strut her pose which I allways thought was especially cute to watch. She made her hands glow bright yellow like she was about to use her earth moving power but instead she punched the air twice. I knew she would've than side kicked the air but she wasn't wearing her regular hero clothes and I'll admit it is difficult to kick in a kimono but she continued on anyway. She stood straight, flipped her hair over her shoulders with her still glowing hands, stood back on her left leg and shook her fist in front of her face. Nicks pose was next, eventhough he didn't care much for showmanship he could still give a cool victory pose. He flipped his hood off his head, gave a wickedly cool smile, flicked his cape to the side to give it that cool "flowing in the wind effect", and reached his hand out like he was going to claw something. Bryans victory pose was the last; he drew his katana, Harusame, gave two mighty slashes in the air, withdrew his sword, and flexed his muscles proudly.


Once we finished showing off our trademarked poses, and the cheering and photo shooting died down the thank you ceremony continued. We were seated in five fold up chairs lined up along the stage and the mayor started yet another droaning speech. It was worth listening to because afterwords it was time for my friends to receive the gifts they worked so hard for, I requested that they'd get these gifts, I even gave the city ideas of what they would want. Nick was up first, he was given the deed to an old school. At first I thought "an old school? I don't know what he'll do with that." But than it became clear when he stepped up to the podium and promised to rebuild the school and rename it "Magisters School of Azarathian Magic" where he would teach those worthy of learning the white and black magic of his home dimension. Like us, when he joined he taught us to use magic like him. Me-Lightning, Grace-Fire, Jodie-Earth, Bryan-Water. The only element he didn't teach us was the exceptionally powerfull Shadow element. Gay, cubadist bastard. Ha ha, just kidding. Grace was next to receive her gratitude gift, she received the two things she wanted ever since the first day she arrived on Earth, the material possesians she wanted most. A bass guitar and a contract with a major music label. You see, when she arrived on Earth she had no idea how to act, speak, or even what to do so I helped her out by showing her some of the things we teenagers could do and I took her on a walk around town so she could get a pretty good idea about Earth culture in Japan. And one day she spotted a sale on all guitars inside an insturment store window and immediately feel in love with the instrument. I bought her an accustic guitar and she took it like a bee to a flower. She's really good to, sounds like a real professional. Bryans gift presentation followed after Grace gave a short minute long solo on her brand new guitar. Bryan was extremely excited to get his gift, he was made captain of Jump Cities own militia army group. It was a small army that would protect the city from those that the police could not apprehend. The militia group was basically the last line of defence before the Beta Teen Titans. It had been Bryans dream to be captain of an army like his old hero/mentor but that's a story for another day. Finally, Jod's gift was the last to be presented. I secretly requested that this should be EXTRA special. And was it ever special, she was given ownership of a bat cave and great deal of land just outside of the city limits that was owned by the city that was to be officially renamed "Gaias Bat Sanctuary." A smile spread across my face as I watched her expression of shock, joy, and rapture.


It felt great for me to see the happy expressions on all my best friends faces when their presents were given to them. I hoped they had fun being a team of super heroes and Blitzball players, and if they didn't I just hoped they all had fun living tofether, I know I did. Eventhough these past couple years were extremeley hard for me it was the best time I ever had. If I had the choice I would do it all over again only I'd make it a million times better. I than figured since all my friends got their just-rewards it was time for me to give my speech on behalf of the team. But before I could take my place at the podium I felt Jodie brush by me and beat me to the podium. "Thank you, thank you ladies and gentlemen" she said, hinting for the crowd to simmer down. I arched an eye brow in confusion as I watched her stand at the spot I was supposed to be, I lierally had no idea what she was doing or what she was going to do. She said "we're here tonight to celebrate our teams cliched triumph over evil, and of course our huge win in the Blitz Ball World Blitz Off. What can I say? We've all done a great job. The training, the fighting, the long hours, the allies, the enemies, all of it. We took it like real heroes and came out on top." I thought "what the fuck, that's exactly what I was going to say. Whats going on here?!" I listened to Jodie as she talked more, "but there was one person on our team who engured the most, took almost all the responsibilities, and gave everything he had to do them right." I stood still completely oblivious to who or what Jod was talking about, where the hell was she getting at?


Jodie turned to me, smiled, and said "everyone...our leader, captain, and star player. The Blitz Wonder, Albatross!" I was astounded to hear her say that, and I was twice as astounded to hear the crowd and the rest of the team clap and cheer for me. And it wasn't just chears, I sword I heard people whistling, stomping their feet, and chanting my name. Jodie said "if it wasn't for his undying responsibility, unmatched confindence, and unflabbable dedication we wouldn't be here today. We wouldn't be the super team or the awesome Blitzball team we are today." I thought "Responsibility? Confident? Dedicated? Those are all the qualities of a great leader like Nightwing. I couldn't possibly be that good a leader." "Yeah you are" I heard Nick say telepathically, "what's he doing reading my mind" I asked myself. He walked by me and Jodie moved away, giving Nick room to stand at the podium. "Even though Albatross can be a total egotistical, bossy, rude, hyper competitive, forgetfull, arrogant, distasteful, disrespectful, cocky, homophobic bastard..." I sweatdropped and thought "gee thanks, what am I on Comedy Centrals R*@$T?" "He's still a great leader and an even better friend, if it weren't for him I would've taken over the entire world for my father and I would've been tortured in my home world. I thank him for freeing me from my fathers evil grasp and helping me to realize that there are people who care about me. Albatross, thank you." Nick stepped off the podium and walked up to hug me, my eyes went wide as plates when he pulled me close. It was weird as hell to be hugged by another guy, especially one you know for a few years, and it was even more weird because I heard some people in the audience say "aww." The moment was becoming too much for this straight boy so I said, trying to get him to stop "uh...dude?" The message came to him loud and clear and he let go of me, the grey mage (black and white mage) stepped off and said "right, sorry Blitz Blunder." He winked and walked back to his chair alongside Grace and Bryan. I swore I saw Jodie smile, and snicker to herself at my amusing responce to our friends show of gratitude as she steped back up to the podium. She said jokingly "aren't they cute folks?" I hoped she was kidding, I didn't want her to think I was going back on my policy of "being straight as a pool stick." Jodie said, stepping down from the podium "and here to share a few words with us is Stormfire." Grace stood up and walked past me to the podium.


"What can I possibly say about my best friend Albatross?" Grace said. He was the very first person I met and befriended when I arrived on Earth. He has taught me so many things about how amazing this little blue planet is, words can't come close enough to express my deep gratitude for him. So I will justy plainly say thank you Albatross for teaching me friendship, fighting, how to play Blitzball, and of course giving me my first ever guitar. She stepped off the podium, walked up to me, and hugged me. This time I wasn't freaked out enough to return it because it was with a girl, and because it wasn't totally unprovoked. It was all right hugging my friends but there was one person I wanted to show my affections to, but the oppurtunity just didn't come yet. And I just hoped she didn't get the wrong idea about me and grace, that would suck worse than anything in the world if she thought I liked another girl. Jodie cleared her face "ahem," it sounded impatient like she didn't like me and Grace hugging. Grace quickly backed off and walked back to her seat. Jodie cleared her throat again and said "yes, well, inspiring words from Stormfire. We all owe our gratitude to Adam, if it weren't for him we'd all just be drifting around the world or universe thinking nobody cared about us. He's taught us all about friendship and team work. But now, some words from the other swordsman of our team, and the second in command. Slash." Jodie stepped down and Bryan took her place, I was eager to hear what my greatest rival, my best friend, and my Blitzball offence partner had to say. He waited for all the screaming fans to quiet down before saying "thank you everybody, damn there's a lot I can say about my rival. But because were short on time I'll sum it up by saying he's great, a great leader, a great Blitzball player, a great gaming partner, training partner, and a great swordsman. He has the potential to be better than me...he he yeah right. But seriously, we've got something special for you Albatross."


At this point he caught my interest, Bryan said "we talked it over and...you know I think you should be the one to tell him Gaia." I thought, "tell me what?" Jod took his place at the podium and he stepped next to me along with Nick, and Grace. Jodie said "ok, Albatross, just like you asked for us to get gifts, we asked that you'd get one to since you worked the hardest out of all of us. We've talked it over with the officials at the Blitzball National Sphere League and showed them all your moves. And they've decided that your good enough.......to be inducted into the Blitzball Hall of Fame!!!!!!!" My jaw literally dropped to the floor, I could not believe it. I so hoped this wasn't a joke. Jodie smiled and said "one, for your awesome Rocket Shot. Two, for being one of the best captains the league has ever seen. Three, for unique offensive maneuvers. Four, for being the youngest Blitzball star. And five, for creating and coaching a new team that won the world championship." It was still hard for me to believe, a kid like me in the ranks of some of the greatest Blitzball players in the world. Past and present. All I could hear besides my raceing thoughts was the defoning cheers from the crowd and the congratulations from all my friends. A huge screen unrolled behind us and I watched as it showed me doing all sorts of moves. From shoots, to passes, to tackles, to offensive and defensive maneuvers, and my super powerfull Rocket Shot. The cheers from the crowd gre louder, I thought my ear drums were going to explode from the volume. Jodie mentioned for me to step onto the podium, I obeyed and took her place. And when I did she handed me a plaque. It had a golden blitzball on the top and on the bottom was a gold plate with black lettering saying "this plaque signifies that "Albatross" has shown enough exceptional skill to have his name placed in the ranks of the international Blitzball Hall of Fame." And at the bottom was the signature of the commisioner and creator of Blitzball.


I was absolutely stunned, my throat was absolutely dry and my brain couldn't even tell me to speak. I could just say "oh...oh my god this is totally unexpected, I never would've thought I would ever be good enough to receive an award so pristigous. I mean who'd of thought a kid my age would ever be able to be good enough to get that far into the world of Blitzball. But seriously folks...god I don't know what to say. Mostly since Gaia said everything I was going to say. I would like to thank the people who made this possible. The fans who believed in me and the team, if it weren't for you guys we would've given up right at the get go. And I would like to thank our goalie who isnt here tonight but if it weren't for him we would've never been able to even set foot in an official stadium, and I would like to give a very special thanks to my awesome team. Everything they've done for me in Blitzball corresponds with the things in real life. They've stuck by me even through the worst times, helped me, gave me confidence, made me feel like a winner, and helped me achieve goals beyond my wildest dreams. I've brought together a Teen Titans team that has saved the world, and become the best Blitzball player up to date. I've reached all my dreams." "Except for having the girlfriend I allways wanted but that'll never happen" I thought. "Thanks guys, you all rock. And to all the people in the audience...party on." "Party on" the audience yelled as we took our leave from the stage with our gifts in hand and dibanded, going to take our places back at the festival.


It was close to 12:00 at night when we all decided to meet at the dance square and dance and hang out before going home. And in the four hours that we spent at the festival I have not yet admitted my feelings nor have I shown any affection to Jodie at all. I sat by myself in an empty table pushed away from the dance floor waiting for Nick and Bryan who were no where to be seen and stareing at Jodie as she talked to Grace who was showing off a guy she had met and had been hanging out with. The dude looked all right; At least 17-years-old, about as tall as Grace, maybe an inch or two taller, extremely light brown hair slicked back with styling gel and a black head band to hold it up, and a blue kimono with white sache. He didn't look very athletic, looked kind of like a scrawny mother fucker if you ask me but she wasn't really into those muscley guys which was cool. I remember seeing them meet after the ceremony, he came up to complement her on her solo, saying her playing was tremendous. She introduced us to him, it turns out his name was Edward. Jod and I laughed when we saw them together, if there was one thing Grace wanted besides a guitar it was a boyfriend. I gave her way too many romance mangas and since than she's been obsessed with finding a companion, I tried to fit in for that but it ended before it even began. Relationships, another thing I fuck up at. That's also another thing that would probably keep my and Jodie from ever getting together, my inability to hold a relationship for more than ten seconds. (thats actually another true event, I tried hitting on my friend Grace but it was over before it even started. And thats when I realized how I felt about Jod. *sigh* I wish she was here right now) As the head bangin' eighties rock tune blared through the crisp night air, and people danced themselves silly on the concrete dance floor I debated in my mind whther I should ask Jodie if she wanted to dance with me or not. I kept on thinking "she'll never wanna dance with me. I've never danced before in my life, I doubt I'm any good. I'll probably just step on her feet or kick her with my metal boots. If I do that I'll hurt her, and I don't wanna do that. May god strike me down if I ever even think of doing that."


This kept me from asking, but in a deep part of my mind, the other side of me was saying "maybe if I do dance with her and I don't do anything to fuck it up she'll think more highly of me and if that's the case than I'll have a better chance of her liking me more. And if I can finally muster up the courage I'll finally tell her how I feel. But that was a huge long shot and I had a strange feeling in the pit of my stomach that there was no chance that would work. I thought of just sitting there, twiddling my fingers on the table or looking at my plauque. All ready I had looked at it about seventy-five times. Suddenly I felt someone tapping my shoulders, and a "hey." I gasped in surprise, that was Nicks voice, he sounded....happy, which was totally surprising. It was even more surprising when I turned around and stared at his smiling face. I was totally caught off by this, so much I nearly jumped out of my skin in surprise. Nick was actually smiling, normally he was emotionless and walked around with a sour looking frown on his face. Whenever he cracked a smile it was on some incredibly rare occassion. I stammered "dude...you're happy?!" "Happy enough that I can control my powers, yes" he replied. I asked curiously "well why?" Nick giggled quietly and said "see for yourself." He turned to his left to reveal that he was with another guy. He looked about sixteen-years-old, as tall as the guy Grace was with, jet black hair, dark emerald green eyes, and a great looking physique wrapped in a black kimono, and white sache. He looked like a guy who played Blitzball or soccor or both. I wasn't sure. "Umm...hey" I said to this new guy nervously. "Hello" he said in a gentle, feminem way that sounded a tad too familiar. I asked, still unsure what was going on, "Who the hell is this?" Nick blushed and smiled "this is Alex, he's...he's..." he meant down to Nicks eye level and put his face up against his cheek and said "I'm his new boyfriend."


Alex than, kissed Nick on the cheek with made the shadowy magician jolt and blush uncontrollably. The jolt of his body caused my chair to be encased in a black and white bubble and lift up from under me, making me drop on my ass. "Oh I'm sorry" Nick said apologizingly, "no it's ok" I replied, rubbing my ass of the sting caused from falling on it. Alex asked "well aren't you going to introduce me to your friend, Nick?" "Certainly," Nick obliged, "this is my room mate and the leader of the Beta Teen Titans. Albatross." "Oooo, Albatross" screamed Alex. Without warning, he grabbed my hands "it's such an honor to meet you Mr. Albatross, you may not be as cute or as smart as Nick but I idolize you as a Blitzball star and a super hero. Tell me are you into guys?" I sweatdropped and said "uh that's very flattering dude but no I'm not into guys. That means don't touch me" I snatched my hands away from him and he backed away saying "how rude. Whats up with him?!" Nick put his hand on Alex's shoulder and said "don't worry about him, he's a little homphobic and he likes that girl over there" he pointed over to Jodie who was still with Grace, her new boy, and a few of their friends who turned up. "Ooo she's cute" said Alex, "you bet your gay ass she is" I thought. Alex said "why don't you ask her to dance?" I blushed and jumped in my chair, I stammered "well umm...you see...the reason why I havn't asked her is..." I could tell the truth, that I was afraid of what she would say because that would make me seem like a wuss. So I quickly changed the subject. "Tell me how you two met" I said, desperately wanting to change the subject. Nick looked at me oddly for a couple seconds and decided to drop it for now. "Well it went like this..." he started.


(this flashback scene will still be presented in my POV)


About two hours ago, Nick and Grace broke apart to walk around the festival by themselves, Nick actually left Grace alone since she had Edward to flirt with. He figured he should give her some privacy to get to know this new guy better. Nick walked aimlessly around the festival, sad and bored stiff. He was so lonely, now everyone except for him had someone to love. Grace had Edward, Brian had his girlfriend Ratchel, and he knew for a fact that Jodie and I liked each other. He knew that we all loved him like a brother and that we'd stick by him until the end but that just wasn't enough. He wanted someone to love, and someone to love him back. He wanted desperately for someone of the same gender to care for him so much that they'd want to spend the rest of their life with him and give the love he has missed out on in his life. He was willing to do anything for the love of someone he could depend on, he'd give up everything in life for love but sadly it wouldn't happen tonight. It was all couples, single girls, and single straight boys. Nick didn't stop to talk to anybody, nor look at anybody since everybody around him was either with someone they loved or alone and not his type. He only stopped once to give a group of children his autograph and to say if they had the power hidden deep within them than they could come to his school.


He kept walking around until he spotted the brightly lit, and sparkling ferris wheel. "Ahh what the hell" he thought, "might as well ride the stupid ferris wheel since I got nothin' better to do." He got in line and in just ten minutes he was in front. "Next" said the man working the ride, Nick nodded and walked up to the empty seat. He sat down and awaited the person he'd be sitting with. Nick eyed the person who he might be sitting with, he nervously stood at the entrance to the ferris wheel, almost as if he was scared to get on. It took some coaxing from the operator and the impatient people in line to get him going. The operator said "come on jerk balls, your holdin' up the line. Ya gettin' on err not?" Nick found it quite rude, he must've been afraid of something that prevented him from getting on the ferris wheel. "Ok, ok, I'm sorry" he said. The scared boy slowly trudged over to the seat next to Nick, the operator pushed down the safety bar and the scared boy let out a sigh of relief. Nick greeted him politely "hello", "hi" the human boy said. Nick asked "is there something wrong? You seem jittery." The boy inhaled and exhaled deeply and said "I'm afraid of heights and I'm trying to concuer my fear by going on this ferris wheel." Nick thought "I guess some people are afraid of something foolish like heights, but that's understandable since he's a human. He's actually...kind of cute." It was true, this unknown dude was quite the looker. Not a single blemish or scar on his perfectly bronzed skin, and his shimmering black hair, and irresistable green eyes. Was he... "no way" Nick thought, "he can't be into guys. He's so perfect that every woman he meets probably wants him. *sigh* I'd have no chance either." He thought he could help this boy out by saying "don't worry about being scared, at least your not alone right?" "Yeah, I guess" the unknown boy said, he turned to the right to look at Nick just as the ride began. "Hey wait a minute" he said, "aren't you Magister of the Beta Teen Titans?!" Nick nodded "yes I am...but you can call me Nick." For some reason, the shadowy boy felt comfortable telling this mystery guy his real name, even though he only knew him for like twenty seconds he felt comfortable being with him. As the ride started and the wheel began turning counter-clockwise, the unknown boy finally introduced himself "I'm Alex. It's so great to meet you, I'm a big fan of the Beta Teen Titans. Especially you." "Esepcially me" Nick asked, trying to sound like he wasn't interested. Alex said "I love your powers, your sarcasm, how you always bust on the leader and make him look like a dick. That's really funny. Your mystique (word?), and you fashion sence." "My powers, my sarcasm, my mystique, my fashion sence" Nick thought. He blushed and asked the question of all questions "than do you like..." "boys? Of course I do" said Alex, trying to sit as far back in the seat as possible, not wanting to look over the edges.


The ferris wheel went in a complete circle twice, it would go up to four times before the ride ended. In that time Alex kept calm, and shook only when the ferris wheel reached the top of its revolutions. And Nick could do nothing but stare lovingly at the much bigger boy beside him, he still couldn't believe such a fine looking mother fucker like him was gay like he was. He kept thinking whether he should make his move or not. On the wheels final pass, the car Nick and Alex were in stopped abruptly at the top. This scared Alex shitless since the top of the ferris wheel was extremely high up. From below they heard the operator say "sorry, machinery problems. Have it fixed in a jiff'." Alex was freaking out; shaking like a leaf, moaning like a little child about to see the dentist for the first time, and saying he desperately wanted off. To try and calm him, Nick placed his hand upon Alex's hand and said "shh...don't worry it'll be all right." He looked into Alex's eyes and said "I promise we'll be moving again, and if we're stuck up here I'll fly us down. You don't have to worry." "I don't" Alex said, wiping a frightened tear from his eye. "Thank you so much Nick, I knew I could count on a hero like you." They just silently stared into each others eyes for the remainder of the time, looking past one anothers exterior into their strong, gentle, and flamingly gay souls, finding out things about each other in what would take monthes, possibly years to say yet only took less than seconds in their case. Alex lifted his opposite hand up to Nicks scarlet cheek and held it there for awhile, finally the mysterious mage came out and said it "I love you." Alex smiled and said "I love you to...Nick." Just as the problems with the ferris wheel were fixed and it started up again the two boys kissed, and they continued to kiss until their asses were booted off the ride by impatient and homophobic people who stood in line."...And that's how it all happened" said Nick blushing profusely. I looked at him, trying not to sound rude by gagging. I said "wow that was...creepy but very romantic anyway. I'm glad you finally found someone buddy. Congratulations." Nick said "thank you Adam, if I couldn't control my powers than this whole world might've blew up he he." I sweat dropped "uh right, just maintain control dude for everybodys sake." Alex said "but regarding the girl you like so much, what was her name Nick?" "Jodie but we call her Jod," Nick said.


Alex said "right, now I only like women friendwise but if a friend is having relationship problems than I'd be glad to..." "I'm not having relationship troubles" I snapped back, making the strangely frail boy jump back into Nicks arms. Nick shot me an angered "say your sorry or else" look and I said "ok, ok, I'm sorry dude." Alex said "well um...if you like her so much why not make a relationship. What's holding you back?" "Well um..." I stammered, blushing. It would be so embarrassing if they found out why. "Because I..." "because he's scared to" I heard Bryans voice from out of nowhere. He walked in from the opposite direction of Nick and Alex with his girl friend Ratchel at his side wearing a kimono identical to his. "Scared? I aint scared of nothin'" I said, trying to cover up the fact that I was scared to ask her. Bryan sat in the chair next to me and said "come on man we've been friends and rivals for I don't know how long. I can practically read you like a book." I looked down at my hands in my lap, ashamed of myself for such a stupid reason. Ratchel said "Bryan tells me you're in love with your friend Jodie?" "Yeah what of it" I said sharply, wondering how come so many people know about my little secret. "Well maybe you should just ask her to dance" she said slightly flustered. Alex said "yeah, what have you got to lose?" I thought "any chance of being with her?" "Just go for it" said Bryan, "you'll never know until you try" said Nick. All of them kept flinging suggestions at me and telling me to go ask her, it was becoming too much for my brain to process all at once. So I screamed "all right all ready." I lowered my voice and I said "I'm gonna go ask her to dance see you guys...later or something." I pushed my chair aside all walked over to Jodie who was still talking with Grace and Edward. I said nervously "umm Jod?"


Jodie turned around, giving her full attention to me and said "yes, oh hi Adam whats up?" She said it with the greatest possible sweetness, I loved how she greeted me as an equal and not as a superior or underling. Grace said "hello Adam" she suddenly realized what was about to happen and said "oh yes, I am afraid I must take my leave, come on Edward." She grabbed him by the collar of his kimono and dragged him away. I inhaled deeply and said "can I ask you something Jod?" She nodded "sure, what is it?" I blushed and said "I was wondering if you wanted to dance?" Jodie said bluntly "ok" I look at her smiling face confusingly, "you mean it" I asked. She nodded "of course, why wouldn't I?" "I'm not a very good dancer" I replied. Jodie said "I didn't know that, I don't care if your a bad dancer." I asked, blushing "you don't?" She said "nope. Have you ever tried it?" "No" I said truthfully. "Than how do you know your bad" she asked confusingly. "Because I never tried it before" I said stupidly. She laughed for a few seconds and wrapped her arms around one of mine. She said "well there's a first time for everything, you might as well try it sooner rather than later right?" I said "yeah I guess." She giggled and said "well you'll never know until you try, plus this gives you an excuse if you step on my feet or something." I chuckled "ha ha I guess. Well shall we?" "Sure" she nodded, resting her head against my arm and guiding me to the somewhat crowded dance floor. I loved how she could always put the best face on things, another one of the many things I loved about this amazing girl.


Jodie and I danced the night away, swingin' and swayin' to the various beats of 70's, 80's, 90's, and present Rock, Pop, and J pop tunes. Everything rocked out loud, nothing girly, nothing shitty, and nothing that you couldn't bang your head to. Jodie was a great dancer, better than I ever would've thought, she was definately a girl who knew what she was doing when it came to the dance floor. And she was like the Flash to, I could barely keep up with the speed of her movements but I tried. And I was actually pretty good at dancing by the way, a whole lot better than I first thought. I was able to dance in rhythm without looking like a total fool and even managed to incorporate my style which was actually just a lot of punches, kicks, and kung fu moves. But the crowd liked it, I swear I saw a few wanna bes try to do what I did. (this is actually based on a Samurai Jack episode where he was in a night club and just used martial arts instead of actually dancing)


After the fourteenth song-"Planet Tokyo" by. PuffyAmiYumi- ended I asked if we could please take a break so I could catch my breath. If you havn't forgotten dacing was a new thing to me and it was really tiring to stay in rhythm with the song and with Jod, she said "ok." Now that I think about it dancing was harder than playing blitzball and fighting evil doers combined. (I don't know if its that hard in real life, I'd imagine it isnt) I plopped down in a vacant chair, slouching in the plastic seat and taking in deep breaths. "Oh...phew...damn Jod...you're amazing. Where'd you learn to jam like that?" She giggled silently to herself and said "I took dancing lessons in my private time when we weren't fighting crime or whatever. I figured since I didn't have time to sign up for lessons at some studio I'd practice in my room." I said "oh that's cool, I never knew you were so good at it." She said "your not so bad yourself Blitz Wonder." "Nah" I said, "all I just did was punch and kick and all that other b.s." She said "but even if it wasn't really dancing it was still great." I shook my head "yeah right, I suck. Just like at all the other stuff I do." "Thats not true" snapped Jodie, leaping out of her chair. "You gotta stop putting yourself down like this Adam." "Who cares," I said, putting my elbow on my knee and my chin in my palm. There was a brief pause before Jodie said "well, I..." but before she could finish the next song started up. It was a romantic rock song that I immediately recognized. I said "oh my god, this is by my all time favorite band, Van halen." Jodie said "are you serious? Cool, which one is it?" I replied "this Jod is "Love Walks In". One of the most romantic and emotional songs they've ever made with Sammy Haygar." I looked out onto the dance floor, all the couples were slowly dancing close. I blushed blood red at the thought of dancing that close with Jodie, I've dreamed of being that close to her for years and if I could just gather up my courage I could finally be that close. "J..Jod" I stammered. "Yes" she said. I stood up and faced her, looking down at my boots to conceal my growing blush. I said as the synthesized piano beat in the beginning of the song played "would you...like to dance to this with me?" I'm not sure but I think I heard her gasp under her breath, I looked up, revealing my beet red face and stared at her with my hand held out invitingly. It might've been my imagination but I could faintly see her face turning red as she smiled and said "of course." She took my hand, confirming her decision and we walked back onto the dance floor.


Quickly and nervously, Jodie and I set ourselves up the same way as everybody else on the concrete floor was standing. I was especially nervous, this was the first time in my life that I ever been this remotely close to a girl and I wanted it to be absolutely perfect. We cupped our hands together and held them out a few inches, she put her opposite hand on my shoulder which made me shiver, and I nervously closed my arm around her slendor back. We slowly began swaying just as the lyrics of the song kicked up.


"Contact is all it takes
To change your life to lose your place in time
Contact! Asleep or awake
Coming around, you may wake up to find
Questions deep within your eyes,
now more than ever you realize
and when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange,
love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a string"


We slowly danced to the slow, beautiful beat of the song, close but only about an inch apart. For some reason that single inch felt like a hundred feet, I wanted to be one with her, to be as close as possible. I was dancing with the girl of my dreams; the sweetest, most loving, most caring, most nicest girl I ever met in my entire life. Even though she sometimes portrayed herself as an evil, uncaring, untrustful bitch like the old Terra but I knew the real Jodie. The hero, the savior, the motivator, the inspiration, the carer. I loved her so much. She was the single titan who spent the most time with me, didn't make me feel worthless or like I wasn't doing a good job as leader. As a matter of fact, she was the one who kept me from losing my faith in humanity and my belief in myself. If it weren't for her I would've gave up a long ass time ago, I would've never became the hero I thought I could be. And for that I owed her my life.


"Another world, some other time
You lay your sanity on the line
Familiar faces familiar sights
Reach back remember with all your might
Ohh there she stands in a silken gown
Silver lights shining down
So when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange, love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a string
love comes walkin iiiiin'


I looked up and stared longingly into her navy blue eyes as she looked up to see me, I smiled, and she smiled back. That sweet, angelic, unearthly smile that melted my heart like a popsicle in July in Florida. Everything about her I thought was absolutely flawless; her beautiful, flowing honey blond hair, her pristine crystal clear sapphire eyes, her clear complection, her gentle and loving touch, and her strong, toned muscles. From her arms, to her stomach, to her legs, she had great muscle mass for a female. And it wasn't just her outer shell that astounded me, her quote, unquote "inner core" amazed me to the point of being freaked out. Around us, certain people, and especially me for some reason she was incredibly nice, an excellent friend, a great person to work with, and so much fun to just be around. She was a great talker, a terrific thinker, and so imaginative. I considered myself lucky just to be in her presence, she was like an angel of god that you could only spot once maybe twice in a life time. It made me think that I wasn't worthy enough, she deserved much better than me but I loved this moment too much to back away. I was with the girl I secretly loved and she was ok with doing this. I stepped in to decrease the little amount of space between us and be closer to her, she stepped in to. Now there was literally zero space between us.


[Guitar Solo]

We remained that close as the tremendous guitar solo of Eddie Van Halen, the greatest guitarist of all time blared through the speakers. We didn't move from the spot we stopped at, just stood there swaying gently from left to right. And in that time we didn't stop stareing at each other even for a second, how could I. I couldn't even take my eyes off her. She smiled her angelic smile and than buried her head in my chest, and slid the hand that was on my shoulder to my arm. I didn't object or react in anyway to this, I just simply smiled, moved my hand that was on her back to the back of her noggin, making sure her head was still planted in that one spot, and interlaced my fingers with hers. In that one instant everything froze, all I could see was Jodie in front of me, all I could smell was the intoxicating aroma of the lightly scented perfume she wore and the earthly air. And All I could here was just the music and my own breath. It was than that there was no wars, no violence, no crime, no evil, nothing bad of any kind. There was just me and Jodie, the one girl I figured was my soul mate, the only one I have ever loved in my entire life. I smiled contently and rested my head on top of hers, running my fingers through her delicate hair with the hand that was on her head and stood as stiff as a statue.


"Sleep and dream thats all I crave
I travel far across the Milky Way
To my master I become a slave
Til we meet again some other day
Where silence speaks as loud as war
earth returns to what it was before
And when you sense a change
Nothing feels the same
All your dreams are strange, love comes walkin' in
Some kind of alien
Waits for the opening
Then simply pulls a string
love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in
baby pulls a string
Love comes walkin' in
Love comes walkin' in
yeah
Ooooooh"


As the song came to a close we stood absolutely still, it was that instant I finally knew I loved her and I wanted to spend the rest of my long-hopefully-life with her. I kept thinking that in perhaps another world I would just be a normal boy who would meet a girl exactly like her, fall in love, tell her my love, she'd say she loved me to, and we'd stay together...forever. I knew there was no chance of that happening in this world but right now I was ready to believe anything. It was settled, tonight I would admit my feelings or die on the spot. I said almost inaudibly as the song faded out "Jo...Jodie". "Yes Adam" she said, keeping her head against my chest and stroking my covered arm with her hand. I said, holding one hand tighter "I've got something to tell you." "What is it" she asked silently. "I...I...I l...." the moment was shattered just as a fast upbeat song started up. We quickly broke away, I cursed the D.J. for starting another song so soon. Jodie straightened her kimono and said, looking down "that was...fun. What did you want to tell me Adam?" I blushed, I still wanted to tell her my innermost secret but this just wasn't the right place. I said "well I don't think we talk here since it's so loud and crowded, wanna go somewhere else?" "I'd love to" she said, grabbing my arm. "Love" I thought, blushing as we walked off the dance floor and headed north.


Meanwhile, on the side the rest of the Beta Teen Titans watched the whole thing from one of the tables with their lovers. Grace said "aww, where do you think they are going?" Nick said "looks like they're headed for the beach." Grace said "yes but to do what?" Bryan smirked and said "whaddya think? The Blitz Wonder's finally gonna tell her how he feels."


Jodie and I exited Jump Square through the north exit that led to Goham Cities northern ocean coast, just a couple miles away from the square. We took off our boots and socks and trudged upon the sand, letting our feet feel the cool, moist grains of sand underneath as we walked together, keeping a close distance to where the tide washed in and out. I nervously walked alongside my bestfriend, trying to seem casual as I stared up into the clear sky with my hands behind my head. I looked to my left to see Jodie stareing down at the sand and tilting her head away to look toward the ocean, I figured she'd rather look at the ocean than me. It was beautiful, just as clear and dark as the sky above us. But of course the scenary couldn't match her beauty. God that was corny. "So, beautiful night tonight" I said, trying to strike up a conversation. Jodie said "I'll say. We're far enough from the festival to be able to see the stars and the moon. *sigh* This is a rare sight, a time when the earth is at its most beautiful." I said "you really love this planet don't you?" "Uh huh" she nodded, "I've been outside, connecting with the earth for almost all of my life. I considered this planet my family, Call me a crazy hippy or whatever you want but if I had my way I'd wanna live in a world with no technology, nothing that pollutes the air, the sea, the plants, nothing to endanger the environment." I thought "thats exactly why I asked to give you your sanctuary." I said "I don't think that makes you crazy, I love this planet just as muchas you do. I wish I lived in a world like that, a world without any crime or violence. If that were so I wouldn't need this belt, this sword, or even this mask." She nodded "I know, we both have dreams of a perfect world that were fighting so desperately to achieve. Hey Adam, can you keep a secret?" I thought "a secret? Why tell me a secret?" In my peripheral field of vision I spotted something about three feet up the beach. It was an umbrella and a big blanket, who could've left a blanket and an umbrella out this? Oh well I didn't have time to ponder this. I said "I'll keep whatever you want a secret Jod but first do you want to sit down?" I pointed to the blanket and umbrella. She said "sure" and we walked away from the coast up to the blanket.


I plopped my tired ass down on the huge sheet and laid flat on my back, had a ton of stuff to do earlier this afternoon. Was fitted for my kimono, had to confirm some last minute things for the festival with city hall, had to go get my hair cleaned and trimmed, got my sword sharpened, bought the flowers for Jodie, and did practically a million things at the festival. I was trashed and ready for some sleep but I stood awake because I knew Jod had something important she wanted to say to me. When she sat down beside me under the umbrella I kicked up all my weight and sat up with her. I said with complete interest "ok Jod, whaddya want to tell me?" She looked down at her lap, inhaled deeply and said "do you promise to not tell anybody? Not Grace, not Nick, not even Bryan?" I said reassuringly "I promise Jod, cross my heart." I was all ears, I really wanted to know what was on her mind. "Well" she said, "the one thing I've alwatys wanted in my life...is a family." At this point she got my full attention, because I could see a disgustingly saddened expression on her face. The number one thing I hated in life was seeing her unhappy, especially seeing her cry. She wasn't really crying but I think I could see a tear fall from her cheek. She said "you know that I've been alone for a long time right, since I was five I think. I've just wanted a family, a mom, a dad, maybe a sister or brother. Just somebody to give me attention, a house to live in until I could leave and strike it out on my own, but most importantly, someone to love me. To hug me, hold me, and tell me they love me. That's the only thing I've wanted in my entire life. A family who will take me in, won't think I'm a freak of nature, and who'll love me no matter what. *sniff* *sob*" I could see she was about to bawl her eyes out, I felt like it to. I always had at least one person who was a great friend and a roof over my head at my old monastery but I've never had the burden of going through life only being able to depend on myself and just wander around thinking nobody loves me and that no one would care if I died.


A tear passed my bottom eye lid and slid down my cheek as I officially began to understand her pain, just seeing her tears of sadness made me feel horrible. Trying to reassure her, and ease her pain I gently enveloped her left shoulder with my hand and pulled her close. I could feel her quiver slightly as I wrapped my other hand around the front of her neck to make a full ring around her neck, I held her tenderly, wanting her to stop feeling alone and unloved. I wished for her to know that even though she doesn't believe it, there's at least one person who loves her. I bent my head down and kissed one of the tear streaks on her cheek, this caused her to stop crying and look at me questioningly. I said seriously, yet passionately "Jod you don't have to worry. Even if you may not realize it, you're already living your dream. You have a family, who are also your very best friends. The Beta Teen Titans are all a familly, we talk, argue, play, and act like a familly and you're apart of that Jod. You've got a real familly right under your nose, it may not be the familly you'd expect but it's still a familly." After a brief pause, Jodie fully stopped crying and said "you're...you're right Adam. All this time I've had a familly. I just havn't realized that. Grace is like the big sister who looks out for me, Nicks the brother whom I can identify with, Bryan is like the creepy cousin who may seem weird as hell but we all love him anyway. And you're like the responsible, caring dad that loves us all. Thank you Adam." "No problem" I said, holding her around the neck that way for a few more minutes before releasing her. But I still kept my arm on her shoulder.


For the next five minutes we continued to sit that way, sitting up with are legs sprawled out, our boots and shoes by our sides, and my arm around her shoulder. We didn't talk, we just stared out into the ocean. The stars reflections off the top of the water glistening like glitter on a piece of dark construction paper, it was amazing how perfect this night was. We were together, alone on a private spot away from spectators of any kind. The water was crystal clear with the reflections of the shimmering stars and the full, round moon shimmering on the top of the water. I wouldn't trade this moment for the world, I loved being around her more than anything and now I knew this was the time. I was going to admit my deep love for her, I could only hope that she'd except my love. And if she didn't...well I'd just have to deal with it like a man. But I just couldn't come out and say "I love you" just like that, even though I wanted to. There were some things I wanted to reveal to her beforehand. "Jod" I asked, "yes Adam" she said quietly. I said "there's some thing I've been wanting to tell you." She said "really, whats on your mind?"


First I asked out of curiosity "are you having fun hanging out with me at the festival?" Jodie said "oh yes of course, I'm having a wonderful time Adam." "Ok, just wanted to know" I said. "Jod, if it wasn't for you I never would've made it this far. I remember when we first met, you were camping in the Jump Mountain Range and me and Grace went to investigate. You were the silent killer when we first saw you, you tried to kill us cuz you thought we were bandits." She said "I'm so sorry for that, I was low on supplies and I really needed to keep whatever I could." I said "it's all right, perfectly understandable. I'm not sure why but when it sounded like you were mute I could perfectly understand you. But anyway, from there on you helped me out so many times." "How" she asked. "Well take for instance when just about everybody was criticizing the way I handled things and the way I fought, and the way I played you were the only one who never made me feel like I was bad at anything. You made me feel like I could follow my philosophies instead of being a hypocrit. And it made me feel so great the first time we played Blitzball and we were getting our asses kicked, you were the first of the team to come out in the second round and play by my side. And like the time when we fought Slade and it seemed like he had me beaten, I never would've suspected you would be the first one who came to rescue me. And during our time traveling adventures, when I was killed...the guys said you were frantic in the quest to revive me. But why even bother, was I even worth the trouble?" Jodie looked at me angrilly and snapped back "stop saying that!!! Adam, I hate it when you put yourself down like that! All those times I didn't want you to leave us. At the first Blitzball game your confidence and your belief in us was jeporaidzed, I just couldn't let that slide. And during the battle with Slade, I just couldn't let you face it alone. It wasn't just your fight. Slade was all of our enemy and we were going to take him down together or die trying. And when you died...I knew that your death was a total waste, I just couldn't stand by and accept the fact that at the age of 15 I'd never see you again. Adam, you're the greatest leader I've ever seen, better than Robin. And your the greatest Blitzball player in all of existance. And Best of all, you're the greatest friend I've ever had. I care for you more than anything and anybody. Got it?"


I smilled and nodded, "got it dude. I care for you more than anything and anybody to Jod. Thank you for every single thing you've done for me. I don't know how I could ever repay you for your friendlyness but please just listen to me on this last thing. "What is it" she asked curiously. I moved my hand that was on her shoulder, to her left cheek and turned her head so she was fully facing me and stayed locked in that position. This caught her totally off guard since nobody ever touched her face before, I'm sure of it. But even though I knew I may be violating her personal space I was ready to finally say my deepest, darkest feelings. At first I looked down at our hands which laid silently at the sides facing each other, blushing insanely. I said "Jod...I...I" I looked up, and stared directly into her eyes. My face beat red, and my heart raceing, I came out and said without regret "I love you." And than, without thinking I moved in to plant my first ever kiss on her lips. It wasn't a real kiss, it was too short and too fast to be one, I had to do it quickly so I could catch a glimpse of her reaction to my declaration of love. Sadly, I wish I didn't see her reaction. She just stared at me, her features expressed total shock and her mouth hung ajar, it was than I realized my made the single biggest mistake of my life. That single action just cost me the friendship of the greatest girl who would ever care for me as more than just a friend in my entire life, I didn't want her to look at me like I was insane, and I didn't want her to hate my guts, but sadly thats how my emptyheadedness fucked up another great thing in my life. I turned away from her, crushed and ashamed of myself for what I've done. "I'm sorry," I said sadly. "I'm sorry for doing that Jod, but it's true. I love you, but I guess it was just not meant to be." That's when tears began to stream from her eyes. Each tear felt like a thousand arrows piercing me in the heart, I felt absolutely horrible for making her cry. I said regretably "Jod please don't cry. I don't want you to be sad, please stop. I want you to be happy, I want you to be loved, I want you to live a prosperous life. but I guess, I'm jinxing my own wish. I've made you sad, I'm disgraceful." I knew I couldn't comfort her, so I decided there was only one thing to do. Leave her...forever. I stood up and said "I'm sorry. I'll leave. You'll never have to see me or put up with my bull shit ever again." As I began to leave I felt like I wanted to die and rid her life of my stupid existance, as tears began to flow fluantly from my eyes. Hell maybe she would be happier without me, and she could find someone whom she could really love. It would be painfull for me but if that's what it took to make her happy than so be it.


I was just about to walk away when something grabed me by the wrist and squeezed it hard. Curiously, I turned around to see that it was Jodie who caught me by the wrist, I couldn't bere to see her crying, I wanted to break away so badly but she wouldn't let me. I said "Jod please, if I leave and get out of your life you'll be happy." She kept her head down, and heaved heavy sobs, inbetween heavy sobs she said "no Adam *sob* I'll be *choke* miserable if you leave me. *sob* I don't want you to leave me, ever. I *choke* want you to....stay with me." In my mind I suddenly began to question her, if she didn't want me to go away than why was she crying? I said, choking back one of my own sobs "but why are you crying?" "Adam, I'm not crying because I'm sad" she said, looking at me as her tears slowly began to subside. Jodie smiled and said "I'm crying...because I'm happy." I stood in shock, she was actually happy? I fell to my knees beside her, a smile curled up my lips and tears of happiness began to well up in my eyes as I said "do you mean you...you..." "yes" she nodded, smiling the sweet smile that I loved just as much as her. "I love you" she said quietly, blushing a deep scarlet. In my mind I was crazilly happy. If I would be killed at this exact moment than I would die happy a happy boy. I couldn't even respond, I wanted to but my brain wouldn't let me. Jod said "I've loved you for the longest time, ever since the first time we talked together I've been in love with you. but I didn't know how to love, I was never taught and I never knew anyone in love. I didn't know if I could be the girl you always wanted. I wanted to make you happy, and I did that by being your friend. But I was in love with you, I've wanted to tell you for so long but the words just couldn't come out. And I didn't think you could love me back, You're sweet, funny, smart, and such a great super hero. And to top it off...you're cute. I don't deserve someone like you." I couldn't believe what I just heard, that was exactly the same way how I felt about her. I said "Jod, I felt the same way for you, I didn't think I deserved you. And I didn't think I could love you the way you wanted." Jod giggled, "we've been keeping secrets from each other that could make us both happy for years, and for such stupid reasons." I laughed to and said "but now I'm here with you" I placed my hand on her cheek, "and I'm happy. I love you Jod." She placed her hand on mine and said "I'm happy just being with you to, I love you Adam." We stared at each other for minutes which literally felt like hours but than moved in to hug, I had my arms around her neck and she had hers around my back. I whispered into her ear "is there anything I can do for you, my sweet Jod?" She said quietly "just kiss me Blitz Wonder." "Now that I can do" I smilled.


Keeping my hand pressed firmly on Jod's cheek, I closed my eyes and moved into kiss her for the second time that night. Compared to the first kiss this was a hundred times more eventfull and more pleasurable because I didn't need to see her reaction, I wanted to know how she was feeling but I wasw enjoying myself to much to care. I could feel Jodie wrap her arms around my neck and tilt her head to the right, giving me more room to kiss her. I squinted one eye open to see her expression, she had her eyes closed and looked very content and peacefull while we kissed. Knowing how she was feeling I only deepened it more by moving my hand that was on her cheek to her back and crept my other hand around her to pull her closer to me. It was like a dream come true as I kissed my beloved Jod, the candy sweet feeling of my hard, chapped lips pressed against her flawless, soft, and shining lips. I wanted to break for air and catch my breath but Jodie wouldn't allow it, she kept her arms firmly locked around my neck, and in my current state I was in no position to object. Not that I wanted to anyway. But it was starting to hurt my spine, having to kiss with our bodies intertwined the way we had them, it was quite an awkward position. Not breaking the kiss for a second, I scooted in a half-circle over and straddled her body so I was completely facing her. This was actually a much better position because I could fully get at her, pushing my head further against hers while she did the same. It was like a little pushing match between our heads as we tried to deepen the kiss further.


After five, heavenly minutes we both desperately had to break for a quick breath of air, than it was back to the deep kissing. I stared at her and smilled lovingly. She smilled back, the same angellic smile that I adored, and in that instant I never wanting Jodie to leave my site ever again. And when I stared into her crystal clear eyes I suddenly knew what she wanted, the exact same thing I wanted. I maneuvered back within her personal boundaries and gentlly, yet carefully set her flat on the blanket. She had her hands on my upper back to bring me down with her and make sure I waqs as close as come be. Once Jodie and I were both settled, with her back flat on the ground and an inch between us. I lowered my head and resumed kissing her to our young hearts content. Throughout this whole experience I was fighting to keep my tongue in my mouth, I loved the way her lips felt against mine and I swear I could faintly taste the smell of cherry flavored lip gloss. I wanted a taste, just a little one but I knew that girls didn't liked to have someone elses tongue in their mouth on the second kiss, and I had a feeling Jod was one of them. But it was alright because I was good at fighting back my urges, I had for all these years. But god was it ever hard, I wanted to taste her lips and the inside of her mouth so badly, I kept repeating in my head "keep your tongue in your mouth, keep your tongue in your mouth, keep your tongue in your mouth." Sadly I couldn't contain myself any longer, I opened my mouth and my tongue snaked out to probe her lips. I opened my eyes wide, and Jodie did the same. I thought "you dumb ass, how could I do that, she probably thinks I'm a heartless pervert." What happened than was totally unexpected, jodie mearly giggled, closed her eyes again and opened her mouth, accepting me. Jodie actually wanted me to french kiss her, and it was only our first ten minutes together. I was totally caught off guard by this unexpected advance but I was enjoying myself too much to care.


I slid my tongue past Jodies lips and began exploring within the inner regions of her mouth. Lapping, and poking her lips, teeth, gums, tickling the roof of her mouth which caused her to giggle, and touching the back of her throat which made her choke a little. Jodie tried her best to defend her own territory by poking my tongue with hers and trying to pass by mine and explore my own mouth. I didn't let her however, I was absolutely relentless in my playfull little attack on the inside of her mouth. Jodie could do nothing but just take it, she still tried to bypass my tongue but my strength was just to great for her, that is until I became to cocky and let my guard down. Miraculously, she found a way into my mouth and began exploring in the same fashion I did. Yet again I was surprised by her actions, she wriggled her tounge around inside my mouth and licked all the same areas I did; teeth, gums, roof, sides, and back of throat. I met hers within my mouth and we began to play with eachothers tongues in the space between our open lips, licking and wrestling in an erotic dance, moving our heads back and forth and tasteing eachothers own hot breath and saliva. It was amazing how she was so good at this kind of thing, I couldn't refrain myself from frenching the living crap out of her, I licked and sucked her tongue madly, while she did the same when she was given the oppurtunity. Not only that, I couldn't help but touch her. I brought my hands up to stroke her cheek, rub my fingers against her neck, run my fingers through her long blond hair, move down to rub her sides, and open her kimono a little to feel her soft, toned stomach. She giggled at this. Even though I wanted to, I knew her chest was off imits but I pressed onward, strokeing her waist, thighs, and reaching further down to feel her legs more. Jodie must've took this as an invitation because she began touching and feeling my body to. She put a hand on my shoulder and lifted herself up for support, which shortened the very little space between us already and began running her fingers through my neck length brunette hair, fortified by three hair washing sessions. When she stopped running her hair through my fingers she just barely rubbed my neck with the tips of her fingers, and moved down to stroke my strong upper back and run a finger along the curve of my covered spine. With the overwhelming nonstop tongue kissing, and all the touchy-feely I was loving this moment even more. Compared to when we were just kissing regularly I was getting a million times the pleasure. But there was a downside to this, with all the quick, hard kisses, and with all the touching by the girl of my dreams I was becoming horny as hell.


It was true, I could feel a really hard, and really painful erection forming in the crotch of my kimono, it was close to becoming unbearable. Jodie had that kind of effect on me, just her simple touch made me hornier than a virgin with a million dollars in a strip club. Hell, just being within three feet of her turned my manhood rock solid which is the reason why I always have to wear two pairs of underwear under my tights to hide it, and I somehow managed to do a good job. But at the moment I was way beyond horny, with her chest pressing against mine, giving me the tongue kiss of my life, and touching me all over I couldn't help but get an extra hard erection. This may be kind of embarrassing and perverted as hell but if there was anything I wanted more than her love it was to have sex with her. Ever swince the very day I realized I loved her I wanted to have sex with her so badly. I owed it in most part to the stage in my teen years where I wanted to have sex more than anything but I also owed it to the fact that I loved her body just as much as I loved her. As far back as I can remember I've had many wet dreams of giving her remarkably immense pleasure that neither of us have ever expirienced in our young lives. But I seriously doubt I could give her that kind of pleasure in real life, I never did it before-that's right, I'm a virgin-and the only knowledge I have in my arsenal is from looking at hentai mangas, doujins of my favorite animes, and lemon fan fictions. Hell, what do you think I did in my room in my spare time? Plus I seriously doubt Jodie would consider the idea of having sex. Like me, she was probably a virgin and I had a strong feeling she was one of those girls who would want to consider "doing the nasty" on the night of their blossoming relationship. If I asked her she'd probably think I was a sicko pervert who only liked her because I wanted to have sex with her. That was one of the reasons but not the main reason. And I couldn't force myself on her, fuck no that wasn't an option. Even though it hurt me really bad in the waist area I figured that unless she wanted to go through with it, sex was definately not an option. Frenching was just as good, right?


What happened next totally caught me off guard, I expected myself to make the move first since I was horny like a mother fucker but Jodie beat me to the punch. One of her hands sneaked down my front to my crotch and she began stroking the painful lump in my crotch, I was lost in our long kiss and enjoying every second of this to care but than I suddenly realized what she was touching and I broke away from her in shock, I didn't want to and I cursed myself for demolishing such a perfect moment, but it kinda scared me when she touched my covered hard on. "Jod..." I asked, trying to regain my breath from the shock and from the overall intensity of the kiss. Jodie blushed and looked away from me ashamed "I'm sorry Adam it's just that I love you and....I want to take our realationship to the next level." I looked at her, even more shocked than I already was. "You, you mean..." I eyed her questioningly, hoping for the answer I wanted. "Yes" she said, blushing profusely "I want to have sex with you." I gasped, as she turned away from me. She said "I'm sorry Adam but I want to do it so badly, I've loved you for the longest time, and I've wanted for us to have sex for that long to. I want my first time to be with the man I love, and that's you Adam. I want you so badly. Please don't hate me." She looked down at the blanket, not wanting to look at me. But I wish she could see my happy, smiling expression. Finally my dreams and wishes would be answered by the girl I loved more than anything else in the world. She started to cry as I crawled up to her. I put my hand on her shoulder and she looked up at me, I smilled and leaned into kiss her tears. I said "Jod, you can't even begin to imagine how happy this makes me. I've wanted to have sex with you for as long as I can remember, and now that I know that you want to go through with it I'm so happy! Jod....lets make this a night to remember!!!!"


Jodie smilled her angelic smile and lunged foreward to kiss me again. When she broke the kiss she said inbetween tears of happiness "oh Adam, I'm ready. I'm really ready. Lets go all the way." "Yeah" I said, "but not here." "why," she asked, looking at me questioningly. I said "well we're kind of...exposed out here on the beach." Even though I was still horny beyond ungodly proportions, and my dick was feeling really bad in my kimono I knew this wasn't the right place to fuck. "Someone could just walk up and interrupt us. Don't you want to have your first time without any interruptions or foul ups?" Jodie nodded "yeah your right," I said "whaddya say we head back to Titans Tower and pick up from there?" I picked her up and held her securly in my arms, she said "ok but please hurry, I want to do it so badly!" I chuckled to myself, the way she sounded, she sounded just as horny as I was, and I was surprised that I didn't just throw her on the ground and brutally fuck her. But I kept my urges under control. Jodie summoned a rock that was sticking out of the ground and stopped it in front of us, I jumped on it and she made it fly back toward the festival. WE stayed out of site in the sand dunes and kept a good distance away. While flying through the air we kissed again, I slipped my tongue into her mouth and gave her a few quick licks just as we landed in the parking lot. I stepped off the rock, not breaking the kiss once and stepped into the Albatross. We broke so I could fly, it was painful flying with such a bad erection but I endured it, because I was looking foreward to the upcoming events.


(okay this is where some of you stop. Sorry guys but this particular sex scene is meant for only two pairs of guys. Me and Jods. I hope you've all enjoyed it so far, my special gift to the angel in my eyes. I know I said this before but if you're reading this Jod I just want you to know....I love you, and I can't wait 'till our next session. ^__~)



The following morning I woke to the irritateing ultraviolet rays of the sun shining through the single window in my room, I sat up and groaned painfully. "Aww shit " I said to myself, a splitting head ache ripping through my head and a badly erect stifee inbetween my legs. "Ow" I moaned, rubbing my head, I turned my head to the side to eye the numbers on my alarm clock on the nightstand. It read 10:00. "Hey Jod it's time to get up...Jod? Jod?" Noticing the awkward silence in my room and the absence of Jodie I slowly began to worry. Last night I was hoping to wake up the following morning with my dream girl nestled in my arms and to possibly help me with the usual morning erection. But sadly there was no Jodie at my side, her clothes and shoes were gone and the only trace of her was the aroma of her sweat and her sweet cum soaking in the bed sheets. Speaking of which I had to get those washed, I ripped the linen off my mattress and walked over to the laundry basket on the other side of the room. On the way a piece of paper on top of my desk written in lipstick, and a kiss mark at the bottom caught my eye. I snatched the sheet of paper and read the words, I knew that it was Jodies hand writing and I could tell it was fresh because some of the lip stick ran. It said "dear Adam, I just want to let you know that I had an awesome time last night and I would love to do it again sometime. You're the greastest" And the note was signed "love, Jod" with a kiss mark in the lower right hand corner. I smiled, set the note down and went on with preparing for another day in the life of Albatross.


I threw my sheets in the laundry basket, lay my kimono on the mattress to be cleaned later, took a cold shower to ease the morning wood, and put on my normal hero attire, minus the mask. I figured Jodie was right, hiding my eyes was meaningless now that there was peace in Jump City, and it wouldn't matter anyway if my friends saw my eyes. I decided to head to the kitchen for some breakfast than head to the library to finish filling out reports from the last crime we foiled. As I walked through the silent halls of the humongous tower I noticed the doors of my comrades rooms were ajar with them sleeping soudly inside them, except for Jodie, her door was open but she wasn't in it. When I entered the living area of the tower thats where I fould Jodie, clean and wearing her Gaia attire. She was hunched over the stove, cooking up her own breakfst. To me, even from behind she looked as beatiful as ever, I couldn't help but smile as I continued to walk into the kitchen. "Yo Jod" I said hapilly as I walked past her. "Oh hey Adam" Jodie said, momentarilly facing me than returning focus to her cooking. I grabbed an english muffin from the pantry and placed it in the toaster oven. I walked up to her with a smile on my face and said "man last night was great wasn't it?" Jodie said casually "yeah it was good." Without asking, I hugged Jodie form behind and whispered "and I'd love to do it again." Disregarding objections of any kind from Jodie I stepped foreword and kissed her on the cheek.


"Adam, don't" Jodie yelled in a tone loud enough to wake all of our roommates, and she pushed me back. I asked, confused "Jod what's wrong?" She replied "uh nothing Adam it's just that...." "what" I interrupted, "did you enjoy last night? Did I do something wrong? Damn I fucked up on something didn't I?" Jodie waved her hands "no, no, no you didn't do anything wrong Adam it's just that no one can find out about us." "What do you mean" I questioned, still confused. Jodie said, looking at me with a serious, straight face "well imagine what the others would think if they knew what we did." I suddenly realized what she was getting at, the guys would never let me live this down, and I knew Grace wouldn't understand unless she took sex education on her planet. I sunk my head, ashamed of myself for my actions and for ever thinking something as good as love would ever last, I frowned and said "I understand Jod. And I'm sorry. I just wanted to ask if you weren't busy Saturday, we could go see a movie or something. But I guess it aint gonna happen. I turned and began to walk away sadly, I knew last night was too good to be true but I figured like all good things, it has to come to an end. I just wished it would've lasted a teensy bit longer. My love for Jodie reached the end of the world but it just wasn't meant to be. Than out of nowhere I heard her say "wait" and she seized me by the shirt sleeve.


"Yeah, what is it" I said in a saddened tone. Jodie didn't resoind, she just smiled, leaped into my arms and kissed me full on the lips. And what totally got me by surprise was that she took the liberty of forcing her tongue passed my lips and into my mouth. Not that I had any objections, in fact I adored her assurtivness but because she totally caught me off guard it took me a second to get into it. And just when I got in the appropriate mood and was about to play with her tongue, Jodie broke away. The following words that came out of her mouth made me the happiest I had ever been in my entire life, she said "I was about to say, just because the others can't find out about what we did doesn't mean we still can't hang out, make out, and maybe fuck every now and then." "Really" I said, extra excited. Jodie said "absolutely, a great guy like you only comes up once in a life time, even if the others found out about us I would never stop loving you." I said with a wide smile and a nod, "same here, no matter what anybody says I'll never give you up Jod. So are we on for Saturday?" She giggled sweetly "tee hee," she kissed her index finger and pressed it against my lower lip. "It's a date" she said, "see ya around Blitz Wonder." She said those words in an utterly seductive tone that made me as happy as a little girl who just hate her teenage years. Err...I don't know, anything that's happy as can be. I turned on my heal and said "he he, talk about gettin' up for breakfast." As I began to walk in the direction of the library I hapilly sang Van Halens "Up For Breakfast." "She put the cream in my coffee, first thing in the morning, spread hot butter on my biscut....oh shit!!!" I just remembered I had that muffin in the toaster oven and by now it was bound to have burnt to a crisp. I raced back over to the toaster, quickly opened up the door and grabbed the disk shaped food item. Upon inspection it looked as black as coal, and it broke apart with just the slightest pressure. I sulked "dammit, there goes bird boys breakfast...sigh." I threw the burnt muffin over my shoulder into the garbade can and sulked in my own stupidity and hunger. Just as I was about to take my leave Jodie jammed a plate of scrambled eggs in my face and said jokingly "here Albatross, a growing Blitzball star needs all his strength right?" "You got it dude" I said with a laugh as I settled down to have breakfast.


From that day, Jodie and I continued to have a great relationship. We remained Beta Teen Titans and a couple for quite some time, the others eventually found out when they caught us making out on the tower rooftop. Of course we really didn't have to explain ourselves since the team said they all ready knew we liked each other and that we were perfect for each other. Peace remained in the calm Jump City, there were times when super powered villians tried their luck but of course they were no match for the Beta Teen Titans. All in all nothing major changed, I continued to improve as both a hero, a leader, a lover, and a blitzball player. Until.... (here's a special ending, he he I just noticed it's kinda like the "until..."ending teasers of "My Special Star" and "Letters of Love." Isn't it?)


Ten years later I stood in the window of my three story house, overlooking the forest below and the light blue sky above. Next to me was a framed picture, one of me and four unforgettable dudes in our teen years. My team....the long past Beta Teen Titans. I picked up the picture and held it in front of my eyes, in the middle was Grace sitting cross legged, smiling happilly at the camera. On the side was Nick with an expression that clearly showed that on the outside he didn't want to be there. But on the inside he was enjoying the moment. And on the opposite side was Bryan with his sword over his shoulder and smiling at the camera. In the center of the camera was me with my huge blade over my shoulder, smiling, and alongside me was Jodie, clinging to my arm and smiling. The picture filled my heart with joy, recalling memories that were so dear to me that I could never forget even if my tried. I sighed heavilly, "I miss the old days." I had grown up quite a bit in the last seven years. I currently have the face and well defined muscular body of a man, (kinda like Nightwing minus the big ass chin) and my brunette hair reached all the way down to my shoulder blades, my dream hair length. I was wearing black skin tight diver attire that reached from my ankles to my wrists and my neck, light blue shorts with a white stripe going through the left leg, a light blue jacket with a white "JCT" symbol on the left breast, and a light blue bandana over my head with the same symbol in the middle. I thought "I hope they'll make it..." Than I heard a voice call me from below "honey hurry up or we'll be late for your game." A tiny, almost shrill voice yelled "come on daddy, I wanna see you win the championship ." I said "oh, coming dear" and quickly jetted out the door and down the stairs. He he you could probably guess where it went from there, if not you'll soon find out.


I nervously sat with my back against a wet, cold metal wall, patiently waiting for the upcoming events as I stood still in the silence and darkness. The only thing that could be heard was the faint dripping sound of water and the tapping of my fingers against the wall I sat flat against. I was overloaded with anctious antisipation, my leg twiched violently and my heart raced a hundred beats a second. Just when it felt like I was about to explode in excitement the hatches of the ring shaped gutter opened and the darkness and silence was broken by a blinding flash of light and thunderous cheers. I stood straight up from my sitting position and stared out into the sphere shaped field as lights and explosions radiated insid the field, while the booming cheers of the packed stadium only grew louder. Can you guess where I'm at? That's right, I'm at a Blitzball game, but not just any game, this is the final game of this years Blitz Off season that would decide the Sphere Cup World Champions between the Jump City Titans and the Metropolis Monsters. And I was a major part of this game, know why? Well besides the fact that I was captain of the Titans I was also their star played. Seven years later I was still considered the best to ever play the game the game of Blitzball. As the ball was tossed to me by a teammate on the side I quickly scanned the crowd, acknowledging many fans who came to watch me and my team bring the championship home. But sadly I couldn't find who I was looking for. Sighing sadly I decided to drop it for awhile and put my game face on, just to let the fans know I was excited for this game. I dove into the sphere and the game was underway.


After nearly two hours of rigourous blitzing the score between the Titans and the Monsters was tied with only three minutes left in the final half of the game. I figured it was now or never, it was time to deliver my super spectacular game winning shot, the Rocket Shot! With the ball in hand I signaled the team to take the defensive and take my plan into action. I handed the ball off to off and began to swim up to the top at full speed. As the rest of my teammates covered the three offences of the Monsters the man I handed the ball to began building power in the ball, by bouncing it off the opposing teams 2 defenders. After building enough power he blasted it upward, zooming through the water at bullet speed toward me. By the time the ball was forced through the top of the sphere O was all ready in the air, gethering momentum by spinning around and around. All to gain the momentum neededto release an explosive kick. While spinning I scanned the crowd once again, desperately searching for a certain group as the closing seconds ticked away. Just when I had given up all hope in the middle section-block B-forth row up- in the exact center I found who I had been looking for all night.


From left-to-right were the friends I hadn't seen in years, and the two I loved so dearly. Bryan, Grace, Nick, and Jodie the woman I vowed to love, cherish, respect, and be together with for the remainder of my life. And with her was our beautiful 4-year-old girl whom we named Tara in honor of Jodies hero. And from my perspective, they all looked fantastic. Brian-like me-had grown into quite the buff looking man, wearing regular blue jeans, a white shirt, a camoflauge jacket draped over his shoulders, and even ten years later he kept his trusty sword at his side. Grace on the otherhand didn't change much in the feature department, she still retained the fiery red headed coolness she had when we were younger but you could definately tell she was stronger and smarter. She had a kind of gothic thing going that I wasn't too fond of but was cool with. Nick didn't change or age much compared to everyone else, I remember being told that Azarathians age slower than normal humans. But there was definately something different about the magic man, he didn't look as frail as he did years ago. He wore attire similar to his old, black shorts, a long sleeve tight black shirt and instead of a blue hooded cape he wore the snow white one he received when he achieved full spiritual power. And the strangest thing was he actually looked excited to be there and watching the game. Jod...I thought her beauty couldn't get any better but damn I was wrong. She was more beautiful now than ever before, clad in attire similar to her old Gaia uniform, a black shirt and yellow pants, it wasn't just her beauty everything about her continued to amaze me. What really wowed me was the fact that she actually said yes when I proposed to her, and I originally thought she wasn't the marrying type like me. But hey I guess a ten year relationship can do that. Now Tara, she was definately an amazing site. She took a lot after her mother, looks, intellegance, flexibility, common sence, and I could swear she was beginning to develop her earth moving powers. But she inherited qualities from me to, like my eyes, my attitude which would normally get her a whacking every now and then, my confidence, my fight and win attitude, and she's also got quite the spring in her step and some strength in those little muscles. Definately a super star in the making. I was so happy to see them all there at my big game, cheering for me and my guaranteed win, during the last turn I pointed at them and winked to acknowledge them, and just for them I kicked the ball, firing it back into the field with enough speed to match a cannon ball. Just as the ending buzzer rung the ball zoomed through the water and slammed into the virtual goal net, scoring the winning point, winning the championship and causing a near riot celebration.


After the game I celebrated in the locker room with my team, they properly congratulated their captain and I told them they diserved the most credit for without them and their supreme offence and defence this victory would've never came about. Then a familiar, eerie sounding monotone called out to me "I guess somethings never change, do they?" My heart sung with joy when I heard that unforgettable voice, the one that always nagged me and urged me to be a better leader. I turned around to witness my dear best friends, my wonderful wife, and my adorable daughter. Terra ran up in a childishly, excited way saying "daddy you did it, you won the game, your the best daddy!" I smiled and bent down to pick her up "you better believe it Tara" I said, kissing her cheek and putting her on my shoulder. Jodie was next to walk up, she smiled proudly at me looking as if she was straining to hold down her excitment, so much that it actually caused a tear to fall down her cheek. She said "Adam, you did great out there!" And she wrapped her arms around my neck and stood up to give me a short kiss. "I knew you'd win, you're so awesome, the best there ever was, and I love you so much." "That I am" I replied in a cocky fashion that nobody seemed to mind. Brian, Nick, and Grace came up next, faces I hadn't seen in like 5 or so years that I was so happy to see. Brian said "way to go dude, dam....dang man you won another championship!" Grace said "congratulations friend, you definately deserve the title of Blitzball hall of famer." Nick said coldly but clearly happily "ok I'll admit it, you did spectacular out there, neber saw anyone give a better performance in Blitzball." Tara said "yay!!! My daddy is the best isnt he?" I replied with a modest, happy nod "thanks guys, but to tell you the truth knowing you guys were there to see my best game is better than any championship."


We all exchanged greetings; hugs, hand shakes, and tearfull "I miss you" speeches. I introduced little Terra, and I requested that the team clear out. To which they gladly did, giving me time to catch up with old friends. I was glad to hear that my friends were all leading great lives. Brian had joinded the japanese navy when he turned 18 and in a month he was being assigned to spy on possible enemy movement. Nick was still the head master of his magic school, "Magister School of Magic Arts" and currently had over two million enrollments, thats more than even the H.A.E.Y.P. academy. Grace wasn't doing to bad either, her band "Tamaran 9" just signed with a major J pop music label and would be recording their first album soon. Jodie and I were doing well together, some would say surprisingly. We lived happily together with Terra in a nice two story house provided by the city in a tucked away part of the bat sanctuary. She gave tours of the sanctuary and sometimes gave lessons on respecting the environment to children and people who came. But I was the one who mainly brought home the bacon so to speak, playing pro Blitzball and refereeing high school Blitzball. Both were decent, good jobs that I enjoyed and gave time to spend with my beautiful wife and daughter.


We all talked and talked, Tara didn't mind talking, in fact she actually enjoyed it. Talking to the men and woman who saved the city over and over again with Jodie and I, getting to know them, and their accounts of the stories I've told her. She said "so then daddy used lightning magic and cut the monster in half?" Nick nodded "uh huh, that was the day your father mastered his element of magic, and just in time to." Tara thought for a second than asked timidly "umm....uncle Nick can you teach me to use magics?" Nick stammered "uncle Nick?" He smiled uncharacteristically and said "of course Tara, I can tell you've got the magical blood of your parents in you" Tara squealed and jumped for joy, then as she went to speak with Grace or auntie Grace according to her Nick walked over and sat next to Jodie and I, he said "I'm surprised at how polite and well behaved she is. Must come from her mothers side." Jodie giggled and said "your right about that." I said, feeling slightly offended "hey shut up, if I had my sword I'd hack you up. Nick inquired "I thought you gave up fighting bird b....man." Brian said "yeah dude, is it still where you left it?" Jodie said "it still is, Adam I have to say I'm still surprised you gave up fighting when we got married but I'm happy that you did. I turned to her, smiled, and hugged her "well the city was safe, I was getting married, and I had done all that I had wanted. It was time to settle down and give up the sword. Now I'm livin' lavita loco and I'm the happiest I've ever been.. Jodie smiled and hugged me back "and I'm married to the boy of my dreams and I've got the family of my dreams. We were shakedn two seconds later by the eager squeals and giggles of Grace and Tara.


After their laughter died down, Grace said in a giddy fashion "oh Tara you are so adorable." Tara said "thank you auntie Grace, may I listen to you and your band play sometime?" Grace said proudly "of course you may Tara, what do you wish to be when you grow up?" Tara punched the air and said "I waana be a hero just like mommy and daddy" Tara walked up to Jod and I and asked "daddy will you teach me to be a great hero." I thought for a second and decided I'd rather not get my only daughter into that sort of danger....yet. I shook my head and said "nope, sorry Tara but we'll save it for when your older." Jodie smacked me against the head and said "Adam are you crazy, we can't put our little girl in the kind of danger we faced." I rubbed the back of my head in agony and said "I don't wanna put her in danger but by the time she gets to be our age when we became Teen Titans she'll be more then ready." Jodie thought for a second and said "well...it doesn't matter, I don't want our daughter to have to go through what we did." Tara stomped her foot, making a small crack in the tile floor "I can handle it mommy, I'll be even better than both of you together, and I'll make my own team. And if neither of you will teach me than I'll just find somebody else." She rushed up to Brian and said "uncle Brian will you teach me to be a hero." Brian also shook his head and said "sorry Tara, no can do." She went to Nick next. "Uncle Nick?" Nick shook his head to "I'm afraid not, you'll have to wait Tara." She then walked up to grace, "aunty Grace?" Grace gave the same reply "it is your mother and fathers wishes that you do not know the secrets to being a hero until you are of age" she said leiniently. Tara looked rather desperate she ran around begging "please, someone teach me, please, I wanna be a hero now!!!!!" And while she begged and cried to be taught We all just couldn't help but smile at the future Titan.


And so that's been my tribute to the love of my life, the girl of my dreams, the only one I have ever loved that isnt a close family member. Now this little ending was a joke, me and her are not the marrying types but you know it was just for fun and I can't quit thinking about what it'd be like to spend the rest of my life with the girl I love more than life itself. But I hope you enjoyed it. And if you didn't than shove your head up your ass because I just spent more than three monthes telling it. But if you did enjoy it I hope you could stop by again for I have many more stories about myself and my adventures with the Beta Teen Titans to tell. Until then this is Adam or Albatross saying see ya later. (and if you've seen the lemon part. Wipe that fuckin' smirk off your face and wipe your fuckin' keyboard) Toodles.

jojobinks0880: only because ive had feelings for you that i never thought i could have. but i guess im just an internet perv.
HyperSonicAdam2: same thing with you but don't worry I don't think any less of you. Hell if we would do it in real life than i'd be thrilled
jojobinks0880: sorry i am runing the moment.

HyperSonicAdam2: you are, just seeing you makes me happy
jojobinks0880: *smiles slightly* so you...are quite happy now?
HyperSonicAdam2: happy?! Happy aint enough. I just fucked the girl of my dreams over the internet. and that is a little weird but still cool. And she actually agreed to give me some action in real life if the oppurtunity was right. This is awesome
HyperSonicAdam2: but tell me, am I making you happy
jojobinks0880: yeah! just knowing that my soulmate is out there makes me happy.
