Chapter 7: Begin Anew

Disclaimer: I don't own Get Ed. Well, the last chapter, finally here. To put this story to rest… or not? You already know that there's a sequel being written in Spanish, but it's in a hiatus. One of our co-authors, SoulSeek, left without warning. She hasn't written to us in six months and she won't answer our e-mails. And she deleted her two Spanish stories, so the Spanish Get Ed fans can't read her two awesome and cute stories. So Detkit and me have a problem now, if she doesn't appear (because the next chapter was hers to write), we'd have to continue to write this sequel until she appears. We miss her terribly, but curiosity is killing some readers and us. So, SoulSeek, if you read this: please answer us! We miss you!

My troubles have left. My "dream" has come true and a lot of things have been added to the mix.

"Hey Fizz, it's starting!" Burn exclaims to me.

Heh, wait a few minutes and I'll tell you. I run to him while that oh-so-familiar song started up from his moto.

"This is DJ Dive with some morning news. Y'know that there was a "pandemonium" with a female courier. Sorry guys, but the girl has a boy. The youngest Dojo courier has fallen in love and is the girlfriend of the Dojo Leader. Strange age combination, huh? But we've seen worse. Overall, there will be some jealous boys 'round here, but still congrats, you two!"

"That's embarrassing," I say.

"At least she's a bit discreet," he jokes. I take his hand in pleasure and look at him. He smiles at me.

"In other news, the city's electrical cost for the whole Festival was fifteen thousand cred. And people and teens, that's a lot of money there."

"Wow, that was unexpected," I say. "In between what we betted."

"So we both win the bet," Burn says. "How much cred did we betted on?"

"I don't remember, but we can replace the cred for a few dates and kisses."

"I'd prefer that over cred." He leans towards me and kisses me. Heh! I'm gonna get used to this!

"I'm gonna like this new life."

"How so?"

"Don't make me think," I whisper and then embrace him. "I just wanna play."

"Okay, okay, don't worry," he tells me. "You'll say it one day or another."

"Okay…" One day I'll get enough emotions, feelings—and maybe more words in my vocabulary… nah—and courage, I'll tell him. I'll tell them all.

"Let's continue to practice," he says as he activates his anti-gravity boots. He jumps up to the ZG grid and waits for me.

"Right behind ya!" I say as I activate my own boots and jump to the grid.

"'Kay, so now you know how to be stable while on wait, now it's how to move with stability which is hard for some 'cause they don't know how to do it right. It is possible to be stable while playing and not jumping or looking like you're swimming."

"If you can show me that, you'd get rid my main burden is ZG for good." I'm very glad he's gonna teach me that. We couldn't participate in this year's Courier Cup 'cause of me. I felt very guilty 'cause of that, but Burn assured me that he was gonna teach me everything there is to know 'bout ZG, so I could be a key member the next year. It was very kind of him to do that for me, and all of this was before we became a couple. Almost two or three weeks ago.

"That's what I'm here for: to help my girlfriend."

I giggled at his remark.

What was I gonna tell you? Oh yeah, what happened after the fight.

"Young man, take much care of your girlfriend here," the officer said.

"Don't worry," he said as he put his arms around me. "That's what I'm planning to do with my girl. That's what I plan to do with my loved ones."

I looked at him and smiled. "Does this mean that we're a couple?" I whispered to him.

We laughed. I wrapped my arms around his waist and hug him. I looked up at him and smiled. He looked down and smiled back.

The officer told us to come to the police station tomorrow—today—morning for an interrogation. He took Michael and the gang and left.

We started to walk and I looked back and saw that Ed, Deets and Loogie left our side. Did they finally leave us alone? I asked Deets today. She told me yes. "So… where are the guys?"

Burn also looked back. "I dunno. Maybe they left."

"Good." I turned to him and kissed him on the lips. "So we can finally be alone."

He chuckled a little bit. "C'mon, let's go." We continued to walk.

We started talking 'bout other themes, just because we were a little… embarrassed. I mean, c'mon! After what we've been through that night, of course we'd be pressured.

"Hey Fizz, look at that," Burn said as he pointed at one of the bazaar tents. It was sunglasses shop. Why he pointed at it? I had no idea. He picked up one of the sunglasses: a black one with three pairs of diamonds on each side. "Maybe this can help you."

"Help me? In what?"

He turned to me and placed the sunglasses on my head. What I first noticed was that my bangs weren't in front of my eyes anymore. "Perfect. I can finally see you beautiful eyes again."

"What're you supposing—"

"What am I buying for you is this." What!

"Burn, you don't have to."

"I don't have to, I want to." He smiled.

"But why?"

"I know you're not gonna cut your bangs, even if you tried, you wouldn't." So true! "But at least have something to replace that headband of yours. It can move your bangs outta your eyes and you'd have style when you're not working."

"No, you can't." I didn't want him to buy something for me this fast in the relationship; adds more pressure for me.

"I can and I will." He turned to the seller.

"Burn, no!" I tried to stop him. I tried to restrain his right arm, but he secretly placed his left hand on the scanner and paid for the sunglasses.

"Heh, sorry Fizz. I guess you've gotta stay with 'em now."

I sighed. Well, they did look cool on me… and I wasn't wearing my headband anymore… and he was right 'bout me bangs… so I stayed with 'em. "Well, okay. But I owe you two things."

"What things?" Heh, like he didn't know.

"Well…" I looked at the sunglasses till I found the perfect one. A dark brown one with orange-tinted glass. I grabbed the sunglasses and showed it to the seller. He nodded at me and pointed at the scanner. I placed my hand on the scanner and paid for it. "You got me a gift, I get you one. Will you accept it?"

He looked at it for a while, but then smiled. "Of course! Anything for you." He grabbed the sunglasses and placed it in front of his eyes. "This is so drad!" He placed it on his head. "Thanks, thanks a lot!"

We started to walk once again. I held his hand the whole way back to the Dojo. I had to control the urge to kiss him 'cause of his sweet gesture. And I know he had to control his urge too. He squeezed my hand a few times and sometimes had his eyes closed.

"Well, we're finally here," I said as we both entered the Dojo. I clicked on the lights. No one was there yet. Hmm, did they really let us alone? "Hey, I forgot something."

"What?" asked Burn.

"No, no I didn't," I joked, but in a sincere tone. I started to walk towards my room.

"Fizz, wait!" Burn ran towards me. As his steps came closer, I turned towards him and caught him by surprise. I crushed my lips with his and waited for his response. His eyes were still wide-eyed in shock, but I know he calmed down because he kissed me back.

"See…" I said in between kisses. "I told… you… I owed… you… something."

"Me… too." Then he broke the kiss. "I had a great time, even though some kids wanted to beat us up. So… you have any plan tomorrow?"

"Well…" I pondered. "We have that interrogation at morn, but the rest of the day is free for me. Wanna go out tomorrow? Is that it?"

"Kinda. I have a promise to keep for you."

"What promise?" I had forgotten by that time 'bout him going to teach me 'bout ZG.

"Just wear some exercise clothes after the interrogation."

"Good night," I said before I kissed him again. I left to my room, placed my sunglasses on my table, changed to my nightclothes, went to the bathroom and went to sleep. What? You wanted me to give you more detail? Sorry, but that's the most detailed part of what I did before I went to sleep.

I don't wanna go much into detail about the interrogation because, well… I already told you 'bout what happened at the beach in the ambush. Now let's get back to what's happening now.

"Fizz, kick it now!"

I float down and kick it with much force. Burn's teachings have really helped my game.

The ball flied straight towards Burn. He stops it with a kick and the ball flies out of the ZG grid.

He gaped at me. "Good job, girl!" He floats to the edge of the ZG grid and deactivates his boots. He falls on the floor and walks towards the ball.

I secretly follow him. When Burn picks up the ball, I jump on his back and kiss his cheek. "Thanks."

He laughs. "Think you're done?"

"Yes, for today." I smile. "I can reserve this place for tomorrow. Can we practice tomorrow, please?"

He smiles and kisses my cheek. "Of course. Why not? I think the guys will understand if we leave for one or two hours in the morning."

"Yeah, I think they will."

"And if you think I'll carry you out of here, you're sadly mistaken." Burn turns to where our stuff is. "We gotta pack first."

"How 'bout then?"

"We have our vehicles." Darn it! Thought he forgot 'bout them. Next time, we shouldn't bring our vehicles inside the arena. "But…"

"But what?"

"Next time, jump to my back when our vehicles are out of sight or far away. Then I would carry you."

"You're carrying me right now."

He closes his eyes. "But I can't see our vehicles."

"Stop contradicting yourself. You wanna carry me or not?" Then I giggle.

No matter what happens, we will be together and we will not be like any other couple you've ever seen or met. That I, Frances "Fizz" Bailey, promise you.

A/N: Ha! It's finished! Growth Spurt is finished! Now, like I promised, I'm writing Everlasting, the winning story of my poll. It's already up (yesterday). Well, when I finish Everlasting, there will be a new poll for the next Get Ed story, and included in that poll will be About Ages and Birthdays, so if you want the English sequel, vote for it when the poll is up.

Until the sequel of the English sequel of this story, good-bye and see ya later!
