No One's Pov: Zandy was helping Rad and Enid pick up some pieces of the robot Darrell, while KO was talking to the pink haired girl. While he did that, Rad took this time to chat with the dragon/bird girl. "So, Zandy, what kind of powers do you have?" he asked her. "Oh, I have several, but the ones I use all the time is Fireball and Thunderblast. I also know some tae kwon doe and can fly as well" she replied. "Woah, I'll admit, that sounds pretty cool" the alien boy said, causing Zandy to smile a bit, a blush forming on her face as well. "What about you? What do you do?" she asks him. "Me? Well, I, uh, I can do this" he said. Then, he shoots a laser from his finger at some parts, and swiftly carries it over to the trash can. He looks over at Zandy, and she had an impressed look on her face. "Wow, that's amazing!" she said. "Uh, t-thanks" he said, blushing a bit, surprised to see her reaction. The girl couldn't help but giggle at his reaction, to which it made him blush even more. 'Man, even her giggles are so cute!' Rad thought. "So, you guys are training by picking up garbage? I can do that. I must do that!" KO said, breaking the alien teen's gaze on Zandy. "This is training?" the dragon girl asked, looking between Enid and Rad. "Uh, we don't just clean up garbage, you guys. We also fight evil robots, sometimes" Rad explains, while trying to get a robot part in the trash can (and also playing it cool, if ya know what I mean). "Really? Now that sounds pretty cool" Zandy said, using the same words as the alien boy did a little bit ago. Seeing him having some trouble with the part, the girl goes over to him and gives it a good punch, successfully managing to get the part in. "Woah, thanks" he said, looking at her with admiration. "T-Thanks" she said, blushing once more.
"Ooo, sometimes" KO said, very impressed by this info, but then a thought struck to him. "But wait, sometimes is more than one time. How could there even be so many robots?" he asks. Enid walks over to the small boy and asks him to take a knee. Zandy listens in, interested to hear this. She hears the purple haired girl explain to him of a dumb nerd and a dumb factory that wastes time and money to make robots to attack the plaza. 'Ah, she's probably talking about Boxman' she thought. "Dumb nerd? Dumb nerd! What dumb nerd?!" KO asks her. "Lord Buttman" Rad said, his eyes getting serious. "Hmm, the butt man" the kid said with the same expression. "It's Lord Boxman, and are you seriously trying to tell me that you didn't notice the evil looking factory across the street?" Zandy said, pointing towards a ominous building in that direction. "WHAT???!!!" KO shouted, surprised by this fact, which made the teens, except for Zandy, laugh at him. She looks over at them, kind of giving them a hard look. "Look, I didn't notice it either at first, but I don't see you guys laughing at me for it" she said. "Sorry, Zandy, we just couldn't help it" Rad tells her, calming himself down a little. "Yea, it's fine, big sis. After all, now we know where those weirdo robots come from" her little brother said. "I guess so" she replied with a sigh. After cleaning up the rest of the robot parts, they went back inside the store and Rad and Enid went back to doing their own things, while Zandy and KO stuck around for a while longer.
Zandy's Pov: Me and KO were in an aisle with Rad, and the small boy started asking him some questions. "So, can me and Zandy hangout here? And become friends? So that we can work hard and become heroes too" he asks him. "Kid, you can't just hangout here. Zandy could if she wanted to, but still" he tells him, stacking some food on the shelf. "But you guys do" the boy said. "That's because they work here, little bro" I explained to him. "Oh, then can we have jobs too? Zandy said she needed to get one" he tells the alien. I give an awkward laugh and twiddled my fingers a little. "Well, I mean, yea I'm, kind of looking for some places" I said, feeling a little shy and embarrassed for some reason. "Well, not just anyone can work here. You got to have mad skills, like this" Rad said, using his laser finger to point at some boxes of cereal, and had them levitate. He stacked the cereal perfectly on top of the shelf, unaware about a customer that flew through the ceiling while hanging onto a box. Both KO's and my eyes widen in amazement. "That was beautiful/awesome" we both said. The alien teen's face blushed lightly at those comments, especially mine (wanna bet that he was totally doing this just to impress Zandy). "Really? Urm, yea it was. I can show you two some other cool moves if you like" he said, hands behind his head. "Rad, magazines, restock them" we heard Enid tell the alien teen. "Hey Zandy, let's go ask Enid if we can get a job here" KO said, tugging me by the hand. "Um, why don't you go on ahead, bro, I think I'll stick around here a little longer" I said to him. "Okie dokie, big sis!" he said, hugging me by the waist before running over to Enid at the register.
I chuckled, seeing KO's excitement and enthusiasm always seems to make me smile, like any other big sister would. "Wow, he must really look up to you, does he?" Rad said, looking at the tender scene before him. "Yea, been there for him since he was very young, all his life really" I tell him. As he listens, he goes over to the magazine section and starts restocking. "Hey, do you need any help with those?" I asked, going over to the alien teen. "Nah, I got it, you don't need to worry about it" he said. "No, it's okay, I don't mind at all" I tell him, helping him out with the magazines. Rad was kind of surprised by this, but appreciates it nonetheless. "So, um, do you care if I see one of your skills? Of course, you don't have to if you don't want to" he asks, feeling embarrassed by asking that. "Uh, sure, I guess it doesn't hurt to show you" I said. Using my tail, I extend it out, grabs a magazine and placed it on the top shelf. With my super hearing, I hear a can about ready to fall. I then start to levitate and zoom to the shelf and grab the can before it touched the floor. I look over at Rad, who had a look of awe on his face, hearts in his eyes. "Woah, that's...insanely cool!" he said to me. I blushed a million times darker after hearing that comment, my tail curling in a shy manner. "T-Thanks, Rad. W-We should probably finish stacking these" I said, brushing my arm slightly. "Oh, uh, yea right" the alien boy said. The two of us were about to reach inside the box, our hands going for the same magazine, when our hands accidentally touched.
Me and Rad look at each other, our faces full of blush. Both of us were frozen, not really wanting to move. "Uh, this is kind of awkward" the alien boy said. "Well, to tell you the truth, it doesn't feel awkward at all" I said, giving him a kind smile. He returns the smile, looking into my eyes with admiration. Then, before anything else happened, we heard the ceiling break again and something made of glass broke upon contact. "Rad, go get a mop" we heard Enid call out, breaking our gaze upon each other. "S-Sorry Zandy, I gotta go do this" Rad tells, going to the storeroom to get a mop. "Okay" I said. I go over to investigate what happened, and I see broken jars of pickles scattered all over the floor, juice and glass alike, and Enid picking up the jars that aren't broken. I go over to KO, who was standing a few inches away from the purple haired girl. "KO, what happened here?" I asked him, kneeling down and keeping him away from the broken glass. "Well, I was asking Enid if we could have a job here, and I was showing her my fire fist, and then this happened" he explained, gesturing to the scene before us. "Okay, just stay right here, little bro, while I go help Enid" I tell him, going over to the girl and helping her out with the jars and helping the broccoli person back up on his feet. "But, I want to help you guys" he said, going up to us. "Just a second KO" Enid said. Out of the corner of my eye, I see another customer walking by and slipping on the juice. "Rad, mop! Now!" the purple haired girl called out. "Wait, I can get it" KO said, before the alien boy bumped into him, mop at hand. "Move it or lose it kid" Rad said. "KO!" I said, going over to my little brother. Rad starts cleaning the juice off the floor when another customer came by, complaining about the bread he had. "Well, then get a different bag of bread, sir" I said to him.
After I said, I see KO trying to take the mop away from Rad, saying that he can do it. "No, KO, hold on" I said, but before I knew it, I slipped on the juice and fell on top of Rad and Enid, pickle juice all over us. "Oh great!" I said to myself, sitting up a little. I look down and see Rad below me, his blushing face face looking up at me. Realizing the position I'm in, I scamper away, my face twice as dark. "O-Oh, sorry" I said, my voice stuttering. "I-It's alright Zandy" he replied, also stuttering. "Oh no, Zandy! I'm so sorry! Are you okay?" KO asks me, running up to me. "Yea, I'm fine, bro. It was my fault actually" I said, wiping the juice off of me. "Are you sure?" he said, his voice full of worry. "Don't worry, I'm okay. I just need to go use the bathroom real quick. Rad, you wouldn't happen to have one, do you?" I said, ringing my hair out a little. "Uh yea, there's one back there" he said, pointing his thumb behind him. "Thanks" I said, patting him on the shoulder. I think I felt him tense up at my touch as I got up and went to the bathroom to get cleaned up.
