Me: Time for Chapter 3

Harley: Where have you been?

Me: Shut Up, I've been getting increasingly busy, work, home, school, Minecraft, Photobucket, Gaia; the list goes on & on & on.

Chains: Come on Harley-kun, let's go to the beach. *Grabs Harley.*

Lauren: *Grabs Harley's robotic Arm.* No Harley-kun, come with me to the beach!

Harley: Start the chapter, PLEASE!

Me: Thought you'd never ask.

Chapter 3

Harley entered his room & looked around. The room had more examples of Roman architecture & paintings. He seemed very impressed by the hotel's choice of style. "Not bad… Not bad at all." The four-tailed fox said quietly. He noticed that the moon had risen into the sky & decided to turn in for the night. He found the bed to be extremely plush, so plush in fact, that when he lay down in it, he was quite literally, nearly sucked in. "Mph." Harley grunted. "It's too plush; I'd possibly suffocate before I fall asleep." His voice was muffled by the bed sheets, & came out in a couple of grunts & snorts. He managed to get out of the bed & decided to sleep on the floor for the time being. He used his tails as a sort of tail mattress, & grabbing a sheet from the bed; was out like a light in seconds.

The next morning Harley woke up still a bit tired. He had barely managed to sleep for the night, he kept having the same dream over & over again, it played in front of him like a broken record, always being the same picture. It was a picture of him in a tuxedo, but when he looked at who was the bride, he couldn't tell who it was, but it was a girl. THAT much he knew. He yawned a bit as he got dressed & headed towards the beach. Little did he know, that Chains & Lauren were quietly following him. It was taking all the willpower that the two could muster to not jump him, hug him & kiss him.

Harley soon arrived at the beach, the shopkeepers were already setting up shop for the day, some were selling Ice Cream & other frozen treats, others were trying to sell Tattoos made of Henna, others were selling T-Shirts, & others were selling fruit. Harley just grunted, he wasn't expecting this many people to be at the beach at just 7:00 in the morning. He also took notice of the weather, the heat was starting to annoy him, it had been a scorching day with another sizzling one beginning. He then went over to a more vacant part of the beach & sat down, watching the waves meet up to kiss the shoreline. This reminded him of the family he had left behind when he had been sent to NEVIX, he wondered how his mother was getting on. He then heard someone approach him. He looked and saw Cutup walking towards him. "Hey Cutup." He said to the mute cyan stick figure. 'Hey Harley.' Cutup wrote on the sand. 'What are you doing out here by yourself?' Harley sighed. "I'm just thinking of my family." He spoke quietly. Cutup seemed a bit confused, then Harley remembered that some of the Hoplites were created in a lab. Cutup & his twin, Shade were the only two Hoplites that were created in NEVIX Laboratories. He then looked at the sand. "I had to leave them behind when I was sent to NEVIX." He finished. 'Oh.' Came the written reply of Cutup. Harley then sighed & looked towards the hotel, he could see Chains & Lauren looking for him. "And now I got to run." Harley said, & jogged down the beach towards the cove. Cutup only shook his head & went to go find Grace.

When Harley arrived at the secret cove, the sun had just exposed its full body to the sky, making the water a bit warmer & more reflective. Harley decided that now would be a good time as any to go swimming, he took off his shirt, exposing a large portion of his chest, it was linked to his arm & it was also robotic. He sighed & waded into the water to go & swim. He didn't notice that Chains was nearby, above the rocks at the cove, watching her crush swim. She had seen the robotic portion of his chest & person. A tear rolled down her face. So it wasn't just his arm that was robotic, but could his heart be? She decided she would have to figure that out for herself, later.

Me: Finally got Chapter 3 done.

Harley: About bloody time John, you take forever trying to make these stories.

Me: Inspiration is hard to come by, especially with stuff that needs to be done.

Cutup: 'I'm sure Andy would agree with you John.

Me: He does. Read & Review my stories! Chapter 4 will be up as soon as I get my inspiration.
