Chapter 2:Revelations Revealed: Wanted Or Not

 

The next morning, Pru was walking down the hallway. On the way to a meeting that was disgned to initiate the new comers, she thought she should check on her sister and make sure that she was up. She knocked on Sakura's door but there was no answer. Pru figures that meant that her sister was still sound asleep. She wanted to open the door, go in, and get her Sakura up. But she didn't know how to override the lock on the door. Just then Garth was coming down the hallway. As he approached Pru, he leaned his arm on the wall above the lock. “Is there a problem, Pru?” he asked as he leaned his head towards his arm.

“Well, I was wanting to check on my sister, bit I don't . . .”

“Know how to override the lock? I can help you there. Computo, override lock.”

“Thank you.”

“No problem.” As they entered the room, they came across the funniest, yet cutest scene ever. For in front of them, Sakura laid diagonally on her bed. One pillow under her head, the other over her butt. One leg was tucked close to her body, while the other was hanging off the bed.

“Aahhh, what a Kodak moment. Mom will love this,” Pru said as she pulled out her camera. Before either one of them knew it, they were both nearly rolling on the floor with laughter. For the moment the flash on the camera went off, Sakura was startled awake. She tried to sit up on her bed, but didn't succeed. The moment she tried to sit up, she wound up falling off the bed backwards. As she fell off the bed she let out a small yelp of surprise. Once Pru could stop laughing, she went over to help her sister.

“You took a picture of me, didn't you!”

“Yes. I couldn't help it, you just looked so cute in that position.”

“No! You just like getting all the evidence you can so you can blackmail me later on in life for whatever reason you please!” Sakura said as she stood up and fixed her nightgown to adjust her tail.

“That's true,” Pru replied as she “pretended” to wipe a tear from her eye. I need all the back-up fun I can get fot when I become an adult and/or all the payback and the “you owe me” I can get my hands on.”

Garth looked at Pru and with a twinkle in his eye he said, “you're mean.”

“Yeah, so?”

“I likey. Marry Me.”

“Give it up Garth. Your not all that cute, and that's just talking about cute.”

Sakura rolled her eyes at the both of them as she grabbed her uniform and went into the bathroom to change. A few minutes later, she came out. She was wearing a dark purple, sleeveless shirt and pant outfit. It was a Japanese-style outfit. It had a gold strip going diagonally across the chest with gold button to keep the opening close. There was also a golden crane on the front and a gold stripe going down each side of the pant leg. Black boots and Gloves with gold trim at the fingers and elbows. She went to her night stand, got her ring and belt, and put them on. With that, she exited her room where Garth and Pru were waiting and headed for the meeting. Pru, Garth, and Sakura finally made it to the conference room. Rokk greeted Garth and Sakura as the entered the room. But when Pru walked into the room, everyone got a bit of a shock when they got a look at her uniform. It was black with red and white stripes. There was a rectangular spot on the upper part of her chest that revealed skin. Above that were diamond shaped cut-outs. “Miss page, what did you do to your uniform?” Rokk asked her completely shocked and bewildered.

I adjusted it to suit my personality. I mean look at Triplicate Girl. She's in a tank top and mini-skirt.”

Rokk crossed his arms and looked at her with disapproval. “Pru, we may be able to choose a uniform that reflects our personalities, but we also have to think about how it might reflect on the team.”

Rokk continued with his speech until all of a sudden Pru held her hands out and said, “Freeze!” There was a seat on the other side of Sakura, so she went to sit down. When everybody unfroze, Rokk continued to talk for a second or two until he realized that Pru was no longer standing there.

“What the . . . ? Where'd she go?!” Rokk exclaimed. He looked around the room and saw Pru sitting next to her sister with a great, big smirk on his face. “Now you listen here, Miss Page!” With that Pru glared at him. “With what Madame President told me about you, I do believe she forgot to tell me that you have an attitude problem.”

“I believe she did, just you weren't listening.”

“No she . . .” and before Rokk could finish another word, Pru flicked her hand and sent him flying out the door. There were gasps heard all throughout the room. Garth, on the other hand, burst into laughter. He thoroughly enjoyed watching Rokk go flying out the door. Sakura just hung her head. Rokk stood up shaking himself. He twisted a little bit popping his back. He looked forward, hearing Garth's laughter ring out, filling the halls. Rokk stormed back into the room mad as hell. He ran his right hand through his hair as he approached the members table glaring at Pru. She just looked back at him with a perplexed look on her face as though she did not know what his problem was. Rokk stammered in anger, “ I . . . I . . . d-don't . . . WHY the council wants you . . . but they-ey do. The-they said under NO CIRCUMSTANCES that you are NOT be . . . let go . . .” Rokk was huffing at this point.

She just looked at him in wonderment and said, “What can I sat . . .” She spread her hands wide and continued, “they want me.”

Rokk continued as though he did not pause, “. . . but the punishment that I am going to have for you . . .” There was an evil grin on his face as he looked at her. Sakura saw the evil grin on Rokk's face and didn't like it. She placed her hand on her sister's arm. Pru looked over at her sister. “Pru maybe you should apologize. Maybe if you apologize he'll forgive you and won't punish you.”

“Sakura, I'm not apologizing.”

“Please Pru.”

“No!”

“Please, for me.” With that, Sakura clasped her hands together, her ears dropped, and gave the saddest puppy-dog eyes imaginable. Her tail even slowly moved from side to side as she continued to plead with her sister. Finally, Pru gave in.

“All right, all right! Just stop looking at me like that!”

“Okay. Thank you.”

Pru then turned back to Cosmic Boy, who had been watching the whole scene between Pru and Sakura, along with everybody else. She then bowed with her hands clasped together under her chin in Japanese style and apologized. “I am sorry I insulted his Royal Highness.”

“What the . . . ? Why you . . . !” But before Rokk could finish what he was saying, Pru then let her arms go to her sides. She then spread out her fingers and wiggled them. Rokk saw this and backed off. “All right! All right! Apology accept!” Rokk Growled. Just the Mr. Brande walked into the room and lead everyone to the sim chamber.

“Now that we're all here, let's get started,” Mr. Brande said. “As I call your name, please come forward, introduce yourself, and give a brief demonstration of what you can do.” Everyone stood against the wall and waited to be called.

“Cosmic Boy.”

My name is Rokk Krinn and I'm from the planet Braal. I have the ability to create and control magnetic fields.” With that, he used his magnetic ability to lift a battle robot into the air. He then threw the robot at s small group of robots that were charging at him. Creating a big robotic mess.

“Oh no, Not again,” Complained Brainiac 5.

“Lightning Lad.”

My name is Garth Ranzz and I'm from the planet Winath. I have the ability to produce and control electricity.” He then produced several volts of electricity from his hands. Sakura gasped and took a step back when she saw this. He then released the electricity, Hitting the group of robots coming at him, and overloading their circuits. Which caused them to explode.

“Come on, guys. Do you have to destroy them completely?”

“Oh, B-5, what's the fun in that,” joked Lightning Lad.

“Saturn Girl.”

My name is Imra Arden and I'm from the planet Titan. I have the ability to read and control minds. I can also use an attack known as a thought blast.” Saturn Girl then turned to one of the robots, using her mind control ability, she got the robot to attack the other robots.

“Triplicate Girl.”

My name is Luornu Durgo and I'm from the planet Cargg. I have the ability to separate into three separate bodies.” Which she did and kicked robot butt. All three girls worked together and defeated the group of robots. Sakura noticed how in-sync they were.

“Phantom Girl.”

My name is Tinya Wazzo and I'm from the planet Bgztl. I have the ability to phase through solid matter.” As a group of robots approached her, she phased right through them, disconnecting some wires in them while she was at it. Brainiac 5 felt he could deal with that. For all he had to do was reconnect those wires.

“Thank you, Phantom Girl for not completely destroying that group of robots.”

“No problem, Brainy.”

“Colossal Boy.”

“My name is Gim Allon and I'm from Earth. I have the ability to grow to a gigantic size.” He then grew until his head almost touched the ceiling. He then picked up two of the robots, one in each hand, and crushed them as if they were mere toys.

Brainiac 5 gave a frustrated groan.

“Invisible Kid”

My name is Lyle Norg and I'm also from Earth. I have the ability to become invisible.” Sakura gasped, because one minute he was there and the next minute he just disappeared. All of a sudden, robot were being knocked around and smashed into each other. A few minutes later, Sakura felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned to look but saw no one there. Then a second later Lyle reappeared. “Hello.”

“AAAH!” Sakura fell backwards onto her butt.

“Oh, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to scare you,” Lyle exclaimed.

“That's okay. I just didn't expect anyone to appear out of thin air like that.”

“Well, it's nice to see a new face around her.”

“Um . . . thanks. It's nice to be here and it's nice to meet you.”

“”Nice to meet you too . . . Sakura is it?”

“Yes.”

“Chameleon Boy.”

“My name is Reep Brande.” With that, Sakura's eyes became wide with surprise. She looked at Chameleon Boy for a couple of minutes, then she looked up at Mr. Brande with questioning eyes.

“Yes Miss Sakura? What is it?” Mr. Brande asked in his gentlest voice as he looked down at her.

“Is that him, your son? The one you were telling me about?”

“Why yes he is and like I told you, he is the same age as you.” With that, Sakura looked at Chameleon Boy with a big smile on her face. Chameleon Boy continued with his introduction.

“You can call me Cham for short. I'm from the planet Durla and I have the ability to shapeshift.” He them turn himself into a brownish, orange, alien, centaur-like creature. He then jumped into the ait and landed on the group of robots, smashing them completely.

Cham!” exclaimed Brainy.

“Huh? What?”

“The robots!”

“Oh, yeah, sorry about that Brainy.”

Brainy just dropped his head, closing his eyes, placing his right hand over his eyes, and started shaking his head. All the while, Cham turned himself into a small fluffy dog and ran over to Sakura. He jumped into her arms and she laughed as she caught him. Sakura continued to hold as the demonstrations continued.

“Kid Quantum.”

“My name is James Cullen and I'm from the planet Antares. I have the ability to casts stasis fields.” As the robots charged at him, he created a stasis field around himself. No matter how hard the robot pounded on the stasis field, they could not break through it. When the robots started to wear down, he brought the field down and started kicking robot butt. By the time he was done, there was a pile of defeated robots.

“Sun Boy.”

My name is Dirk Morgna and I'm from Earth. I have the ability to generate heat and light.” He then faced the group of charging robots. Flames came out of his hands and he melted every single one of them.

“Oh for crying out loud!” Brainiac 5 exclaimed as he looked at the huge puddle on the floor that used to be his robots.

“Shrinking Violet.”

My name is Salu Digsby. But you can call me Vi for short. I'm from the planet Imsk and I can shrink to a microscopic size.” As the robots surrounded her, she began to shrink. As they closed in on her, she flew up into the air. And then, she was able to get inside them through the tiniest crevice in their armor. While inside, she loosened a few screws, causing them to fall apart.

“Bouncing Boy”

“My name is Chuck Taine and I'm from Earth. I have the ability to be super-bouncy.” At first, when he turned into a big gigantic ball, Sakura was taken aback. But then she looked interested as he took on the robots. As the robot approached him, he started to bounce. Pretty soon he was bouncing off the wall, the ceiling, even the robots themselves. He rammed into some of the robots, causing them to ram into other robots. He even bounced on ones that were knocked to the floor.

“Element Lad.”

My name is Jan Arrah and I'm from the planet Trom. I have the ability to do elemental transmutations.” He then turned to the robot and changed the metal of the robots to liquid.

“Dream Girl.”

“My name is Nura Nal and I'm from the planet Naltor. My ability is precognition. In other words, I can see the future through my dreams. I don't have a way to demonstrate this ability though.”

“What a shocker,” said Lightning Lad under his breath as he looked at Nura with disapproval and anger in his eyes. For he still remembered the pain she caused his family.

“Princess Projectra.”

“My name is Wilimina Morgan Daergina Annaxandra Projectra Velorya Vauxhall and I'm from the planet Orando. I have the ability to generate/cast illusions.” The robots didn't even have a chance to charge at her. For she produced a very powerful illusion. The illusion of a factory where robots were dismantled and melted down. The next thing everyone knew, there was smoke and sparks coming off the robots as they were repeating numbers. Then they just shut down. Brainiac 5 was a little relieved with this demonstration because he knew that they just needed to be rebooted.

“Shadow Lass.”

“My name is Tasmia Mallor and I'm from the planet Talok 8. I have the ability to produce/cast shadows.” As the shadows began covering ahuge portion of the room, Sakura's ears went down and she began to backup. Nobody could see through the shadows. Not eve the robots. All of a sudden, robots started flying out of the darkness and into the air. Crashing into walls and ending up broken on the floor. Sakura felt better when the shadows faded away.

“Oh, for crying out loud!” complained Brainiac 5. “Not again!”

“White Witch.”

My name is Mysa Nal and I'm from the planet Nalto as well. And yes, before the two new members ask, Nura is my sister. I have the ability to use magic. And just so you know, there is one person in this room who doesn't believe that magic is real. He thinks everything has to have a scientific explanation.”

“Looks like she has you there, Brainy,” Lightning Lad said as he nudged Brainiac 5 with his elbow. Brainy just rolled his eyes and ignored the comment. Mysa then went on with her demonstration. She concentrated really hard, stretched her hands out, and recited an incantation. After a few minutes, the robots stopped moving as the physically started to change. Pru and Sakura looked on in shock and surprise and a group of pigs were oinking and squealing left and right where the robots once stood. She then repeated the process and recited another incantation. In which the pigs were transformed back into robots. Of course, Brainy was anything but thrilled. Pru, on the other hand, looked at Mysa with a great deal of interest.

“Note to self, find out how Mysa Nal performed those transformations,” Brainy said to himself. Pru looked at him with such annoyance. She was bound and determined to prove to him that not everything needs a scientific explanation.

“Neon.”

“My name is Celest McCauley and I'm from Earth. I was born with Green Lantern Energies. In other words, I have the abilities of a Green Lantern and I don't have to use a Green Lantern Ring.” As the robots charged at her, she pulled up a green force field. She then expanded it, using it as a force to knock the robots back. She then enveloped each one of them in a ball of green energy, raised them into the air and smashed them into each other.

“Relflecto.”

“My name is Stig Ah and I'm from the planet Rimbor. I have the ability to reflect physical and energy attacks back to their source.” One robot tried to punch him, but it was reflected back. Another robot tried using a laser beam, but that as well was reflected back. The second robot was hit by his own laser gun.

“Brainiac 5.”

My name is Queryl Dox and I'm from the planet Colu. I have a Twelfth Level Intelligence. I'm half robot, half organic. I have a robot battle mode with an arsenal of weaponry built in.” As the robot charged at him, Brainy transformed himself into a huge battle robot. When Sakura saw this, she just about screamed. It startled her because Brainy went from this little android with blond hair to a gigantic robot. He knew exactly how to stop the robots and do minimal damage. He used his arsenal and brought down each robot.

“The Charmed One.”

“My name is Prudence Page Halol and I'm from Earth. “My powers are Time Freezing, Telekinesis, as well as magic and witchcraft.”

“Telekinesis I can believe. But the others I can not. Especially Time Freezing. That is illogical and unscientific as well. Science does not support this,” said Brainiac 5.

Before anyone could say anything Pru replied, “Bite me!” as she walked to the middle of the room and asked that the robots be doubled.

“Miss Page do not believe that showing off is called for. There is a time for housing around when official business is done,” said Mr. Brande.

Pru gritted her teeth, but managed to fake a smile as she turned around and replied back, “But sir, my powers are a bit strong. I need the robots doubled or else things could get a little hay wired.”

Mr. Brande pondered this for a moment, then agreed. Brainy wanted to scream “no” but kept his mouth shut.

30 robots began to file in from all around and started surrounding her. She just stood there as a wicked smile was displayed across her face. She was enjoying herself. This was going to be fun. As the robots stopped, there was silence in the room. She threw her hands halfway up, her palms facing each othr, about shoulder length apart in front of her and yelled, “Freeze!”

About 10 minutes later.

As they stood there, the room was littered with robot bits and pieces everywhere. On the walls, in piles and around them. But no Pru in site. One second she was standing there, surrounded by armed robots shouting “Freeze”, the next there was destruction of metal everywhere and she was gone. Brainy looked around at the mess and was in shock, mouth on the floor. But there was something amiss, there was a pig by the council sniffing a robot hand. The pig was made of metal and had a metal band made to look like lace around it's neck with a metal rose attached to it. “Where's Pru?” Garth asked.

Cosmic Boy raise his hand and spoke into his ring, “Miss Page, where are you?”

“I'm at Wongs waiting for my order.”

“Oh, what did you get?” Garth asked.

“Mr. Ranzz,” Mr. Brande said sternly.

“Sorry.”

“Get back here immediately!” said Cosmic Boy.

“I'm coming.”

“Now !”

“I'm halfway up the street.” A minute and a half later, she walked in through the door sucking on her drink and carrying two bags of delicious smelling food. You could hear a few stomachs growling despite the fact that they had eaten breakfast.

“We will deal with you later—InuCeres,” Mr. Brande continued. There was a small squeak heard throughout the room as she was called. Everyone looked at her as she stood against the wall. “InuCeres,” Mr. Brande said gently. “It's your turn.”

“Um . . . okay.” She then walked in front of everyone and gave her introduction. “M-my name is Sakura Knives Kazehana and I'm from Earth. I can use light attacks, either as a small blast from my hand or as a big blast by allowing the light to surround my whole body. I can levitate while using this ability, but unfortunately, stuff and sometimes people have a tendency to levitate with me,” she said, blushing a little. “I'm still learninf how to control it. I do have fangs and claws to fight with, along with a heightened sense of smell, sight, and hearing. I can also jump really high.” After she was through explaining, everyone was instructed to go into the control room of the sim chamber so not to be injured in any way and still be able to watch.

“You may begin now, Miss Sakura," said Mr. Brande. Sakura closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and then let it out. She then began to levitate as an unseen wind began to whip around her. The robots then entered the room.At the sound of a robot appraoching her from behind, her ears twitched in that direction, and her eyes, which were glowing, opened. Shr turned around and fired a ball of light at the robot behind her. Pretty soon robot were running and screaming for their robotic lives. For she was dysyntagrating their sorry metal butts.She was destroying and dysentagrating robots left and right. It was becoming just as messy in the sim chamber as it had when Pru was in there, but this time they could see the damage being done. Pru stood there watching her little sister with pride on her face, as the others looked on with shock and amazement on theirs.

Brainiac 5 on the other hand, was not happy. In fact, once again he lowered his head in frustration with one hand in his face."My robots! My robots! What is it with people and destroying my work?" he moaned.

When the robots were all destroyed, Sakura closed her eyes as she took a deep breath and let it back out. She then floated back down. When everyone saw that the demonstration was over, they all went back down into the sim chamber. The minute Sakura saw her sister walk in, she walked up to her and asked, "Well, how did I do, sis?" Hoping that she did a good job.

"You did great, Saki. I knew you'd nail the demonstration."

"Really! I did that good!"

"Really. You did that good." Pru then turned toface the others. "Well, what do you think of us?" she asked with a smirk on her face. "Can we sisters kick but or what?"

Everyone was too shocked to say a word. Sakura just bowed her head and blushed a bit. "You all did a fine job," replied Mr. Brande as he placed a hand on Sakura's shoulder. "A very nice job indeed. Now that we are done here, I will leave you guys. Oh, by the way, Miss Page, please come with me."

"Yes sir."

"By the way, Mr. Ranzz, would you make sure that Miss Sakura knows how to use her flight ring."

"Yes sir."

After that, Mr.Brande left the sim chamber with Pru right behind him.

"All right, Sakura. Are you ready to fly?"

"Um . . . I don't know."

"Oh, don't worry. It's safe. Besides, it's not like you'll be learning all by yourself. We're here with you. None of us will let anything bad happen to you. In fact, I'll go up with you, okay." Sakura nodded. "On the count of three, we'll go up. Alright." Once again Sakura nodded her head. She then closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and took hold of the hand that Garth had held out for her as he counted. "1 . . . 2 . . . 3" For the first few minutes, she kept her eyes closed. "You cna open your eyes now," Garth said gently. When she opened her eyes, she found the surprise of her life. She discovered that she was in the air flying. She gasped in shock, but then relaxed. Sakura subconsciously let go of Garth's hand and started to fly around the room. She began to forget all about her fears and nervousness and she even started to laugh as she had fun. When she landed, she had a huge smile on her face. She couldn't wait to tell Pru about this.

Meanwhile, back in Mr. Brande's office, Pru was listening to a lecture about her action during her simulation.

"Yes sir . . . No sir. It won't happen again . . . I understand sir . . . Yes sir . . . No sir, I don't know how to unfreeze time yet . . . Yes sir, I'll work on it . . . No sir, I don't know how long time remains froze. It always differs between 5-10 minutes . . . I know, that was a bad example to set in front of my sister and the younger ones . . . Yes sir . . . Thank you sir . . . Good-bye sir." With that, Pru exited Mr. Brande's office. "Oh for crying out loud," she said to herself when she was out in the hallway. Then before she could get anyfurther down the hallway, Mr. Brande called her back. "Yes, Mr. Brande? . . . No, I will not change my uniform . . . But I thought our uniforms were suppose to reflect our personalitites . . . Oh, I see, I'm allowed to express myself but moth the real me . . . No sir, I'm not copping an attitude. I'm sorry, I just didn't sleep musch last night . . . I'll put a patch there, but no where else . . . Go ahead and kick me out. I'll just go rouge . . . No sir, that doen't mean that I'll become evil, I'll still be fighting the bad guys, just on my own . . . Like I said, I'll put a patch there but no where else . . . Thank you for the two weeks probation." She then started to walk down the hallway. As she walked down the hallway, She ran into Rokk.

"You know Pru, you really should watch that attitude of yours," he said to her.

"Oh, bite me!"

"What did you say?!" Rokk asked, first shocked by the comment, then angered by it.

"You heard me, I didn't stutter." And with that, she walked away, leaving behind a very steamed Cosmic Boy.

Over lunch, Pru asked Sakura how her lesson with the flight ring went. Sakura looked at her excitedly. "It was great, Pru. A little scary at first, but great." She continued to tell Pru all about it. Pru couldn't help but smile at her sister's enthusiasm.

"So, from the sounds of it, you had fun."

"Yeah, I sure did."

"I'm glad to hear that. Aren't you glad we came now?"

"Yeah." After lunch, Pru went to do the chores that she was assigned to do as part of her probation.

A couple of weeks later, Garth went to talk to Pru about something. He found her in the lounge/living room of HQ reading a book. So he walked up to her.

"What do you what, Garth?" she asked before he could say a word.

"I just want to talk to you about something."

"No, I will not go out with you."

"I wasn't going to ask you that. Honest. I wanted to talk to you about your sister."

Pru then looked up fromher book. "What about my sister?"

Garth then pulled up a chair and sat down. "Well, I noticed that you call her "Saki" from time to time."

"Yeah. that's my nickname for her."

""Would you mind if I gave her a nickname of my own?"

"Hmm. What kind of nickname were you thinking of?"

"Well, Remember the first day you and your sister came here?"

"Yeah."

"Well, when you lecturing the girls about how they acted around your sister, you kind of gave me an idea for a cute nickname for her."

"And that is?"

"Puppy Girl. I mean, in a way it fits her perfectly. But I wanted to ask you before I started calling her that. I know how protective you are of her."

Pru thought about this. "I guess it would be okay. You are right, It does seem to fit her."

"Thanks Pru."

"Hold on. In order for this to work, there is one thing you are going to have to do."

"What is it?"

"You are going to have to earn the right to call her Puppy Girl. This means by becoming her friend, and I don't mean by just giving heer stuff. I mean really being her friend. That means even being there for her when she needs a friend by her side. Do you understand?"

"Yeas, Pru. I understand completely."

"I hope so. Because if you hurt her or make her cry in any way and I will seriously hurt you. That is not a threat. It's a promise," Pru said seriously.

"Pru, I would rather die than do anything to hurt her. I see her as a little sister."

"Okay then, we understand each other."

With that, Garth went off to find Sakura, after making a stop by his room to pick up a couple of items.He found her about a couple of hours later as they were both walking down the hallway. "Hey Puppy Girl," he called.

"Huh?" Sakura stopped and looked around. "Me?" Shr asked as she turned and looked at Garth.

"Who else," he said with a smile.

"Why?"

"Well, your sister kinda gave me the idea and I thought it would be a cute nickname for you."

"I don't think that would be a good idea."

"Why not?"

"I don't think my sister would like it. If she found out, she might make you very sorry. She's done it before."

"Oh, come on. it's not like she'd kill me," Garth said, but when he looked at Sakura, he got a little nervous. "Has she killed anyone before?" he asked nervously.

"No, but she's made people wish that they had though."

"Well, just so that you won't worry, I already talked to your sister about it and she said it was okay."

"She did?!" Sakura was shocked by this bit of information.

"Yeah. The only thing I have to though in return though is to earn the right to call you Puppy Girl. So how about to start with you can Call me "Sparky" as a nickname that you can call me."

"Sparky?" I like that, It fits you."

"Well thank you. And to top off the deal, I will give you this Superman action figure and this Superman beanie toy. Does that seem fair."

Sakura was looking at the two item with a great deal of interest. "You still have to earn the right to call me Puppy Girl, right?"

"Yep."

"Okay. This is a good start. Thank you, Sparky."

Garth handed the two toys to Sakura and she hugged him. She then skipped off to her room. Garth just stood there watching her with a big smile on his face as she went inside her room. Unknown to anyone in the hallway, Pru stood in the shadows watching the whole scene and smiling at the bond that was now being created. She even heard What Garth said after Sakura had gone into her room.

"I pormise you, Puppy Girl. I will do whatever it takes to protect you. I failed to protect one sister, but I swear on my life that I will not fail you little one." His face as somber and serious as could be. Pru knew that her sister would be safe around Garth. For she knew he meant what he said. She saw it in his eyes
