Ep 12: Goodnight Kisses

“Wait, Zappy, this is your boyfriend?” Comet asks.

“Yep, his name is Spider,” she says. “I love him so much.”

“Zappy, don’t embarrass me, please,” Spider says, flushing red.

“So, why’s your name Spider?” Comet asks.

“His claws can dig into any surface and he doesn’t tire out quickly when climbing up a surface,” Zappy says.

Spider smiles. “Don’t worry, I wasn’t sent by Shadow. I’m not capturing you. But we should get out of here before she does find us.”

They all exit Shadow’s hideout and run away from it as quickly as possible. They leave the forest, and head for the main area, which is near the training school.

“Shadow’s going to find us again sooner or later,” Comet says. “What should we do?”

Wave has an idea. “If we stay here as a group, we’ll all be captured at the same time again. We don’t want that to happen. I suggest we all split up this time.”

So everyone split up into three uneven groups since there are seven of them. Comet and Electro in the first group; Blizzard and Wave in the second; Galaxy, Zappy, and Spider in the third. Wave was at first going to be with Galaxy but she didn’t want to break Wave’s heart by telling him she wasn’t interested in him. Although, she does wants to soon, just for fun.

Comet and Electro head for the beach, and they have a little talk with each other.

“Thanks for saving us,” Electro says.

Even though Comet’s getting used to Electro being around her, she still blushes when she’s close to him. “You’re welcome… but it wasn’t just me,” she says. She knows she didn’t do all the work. She doesn’t have telekinesis.

“Is Galaxy nice?”

“Yeah, she’s friendly. One of my good friends.”

“She doesn’t seem to like Wave, though,” Electro says.

“I saw that. What confuses me is that she told me she had feelings for someone before. She didn’t tell me who it was.”

“Who do you think it is?”

“I don’t know… but she doesn’t have a lot of male friends that I know. It has to be a small amount.” She thinks for a second. “Do you have other friends?”

“Um, not really,” Electro sighs. “Zappy was pretty much my only friend before I met all of you.”

“How come you didn’t have feelings for her?”

“The thing is… I did! But she already had a boyfriend so I couldn’t tell her that…” he trails off. He looks up at the sky. It was full of stars.

Comet looks up too. She gasps in awe at the star-filled sky. “It’s so beautiful,” she says. This is why she liked coming to the beach at night.

“I’ve never seen anything like this before,” Electro says.

Comet’s shocked. “Never?”

“Never. But now I wish I’d seen the sky like this sooner.” He turns his gaze to Comet, who was still looking at the sky and leans over to her. “I want to remember this moment with you.”

He kissed Comet on the cheek.

Electro’s heart was beating so fast, that he felt like he was going to faint.

Comet was completely caught off guard by this. She turns to Electro, surprised. Her cheeks were a deep red. “You… you…” She was speechless. “You kissed me…”

Electro smiles awkwardly. “I can’t believe I just did that,” he thought. Electro thought Comet was going to be mad at him for kissing her like that. To his surprise, she hugged him.

“I love you,” Comet says, weakly. She was crying.

Electro wipes the tears off her face and smiles. He realizes he’s blushing too but ignores it. He was more focused on what Comet said to him.

“I love you.”

He never thought he would hear those words in his life. Comet could be the one for him. “Look,” he says. “I know I said I had feelings for Zappy before. But that was a long time ago. I didn’t think I would find someone who would like me the way I do them.”

Comet smiles. “But look at where we are now,” she says. “You found someone.” Then she yawns. Her eyes were starting to close.

It was late at night. The stars were still twinkling in the sky. They were sitting together on the beach leaning back on a rock. They both look at each other again and smile.

Then Comet closes her eyes and starts to sleep. She leans on Electro’s side while she does. This is the first time Comet felt comfortable around him. She doesn’t have to worry anymore.

They were in love.
