Thanks, KT! Unfortunately, I can't edit titles, or at least I don't think I can. I haven't in the past. I'm sure Cep could, but it is not with pestering him over.

I agree, the team was captured awfully easily! Except for Jun, who apparently kept her wits about her... although only after being led into the trap. The real question is, how were these people aware that the SNT were coming?

//The voice came again in his earpiece. "Come in, Jason! We have to report to Centre Neptune! Stop this nonsense!" He knew Mark was right. There was an emergency. Maybe an attack. Maybe a city was in danger. Anderson would kill him. He knew he was being stupid. But he couldn't help it. The view of the finish line, the doppler effect as he whizzed past the other drivers, the wheel clutched in his hands, made the decision for him. "Hang it all," he thought. "I'm finishing the race."//

KT -- About Manuel: that's the idea, baby! About Kaden: I'm getting a little bit of a bad feeling about where this is heading.... DT -- That was the thought I had (though I couldn't think of the episode name. It's really frustrating -- I used to have a near-photographic memory.)

DT - I can see Jason saying that, too. Actually, I could see him using a different word... KT - I foresee Jun is going to get more than just her bracelet. Kaden just needed to confirm who it belonged to before bringing in the goons.

"Hey, there's no one around...I say it's time for a skinny dip..." Jason smirked. "What?" I looked around nervously. "Don't tell me you've never done it before." He slung his towel over his shoulder and grabbed me by the hand, leading me further inland. "Don't worry. Just slip off your suit and hang it on that branch over there. You're gonna love it. I promise!" He led me over to a crooked heliotrope tree and quickly freed himself from his swim trunks. He placed them over a limb of the tree. Then, he draped his towel on another branch. Before I knew it, he was sprinting for the ocean. "C'mon!" He shouted out to me from the choppy waves. "The water is warm!" "But..." I started to protest. What about sharks? What if I step on something? What if someone shows up on the beach? What if... As quickly as I thought of excuses, I reconsidered. There he was, in all his glory...tanned skin shimmering in the soft moonlight as he emerged from the water after a few laps. He was waving to me, beckoning me to join him. ...oh, hell...what's wrong with me? When will I get this chance again? I stripped my bikini off before I talked myself out of it and ran out into the cool, salty water and into his warm embrace. This was going to be a good night, after all.

Yay comment time! (wait, if this should have been 122 was there another 121? did I skip one after all?) EW: Oooh, so they're not quite outed, but definitely suspected. And Ken is definitely in a bit of trouble! Wonder how long he's gonna be able to play innocent once he understands what's going on. (As opposed to squeaking and running!) DT: Yup, that sounds about right!!! KT: Oh boy, is Kaden turning out to be a good guy or a real problem? Springie: Ooh, nice art. Smile And it sounds like things are getting downright frisky!

This stems from #118 (Forgot) and then #120 (Allowance). ******************* Prompt #121.2 --Hang "Just what the hell was that?! 'Ask Joe ...he knows all about extra toes' !" It was bad enough Jun looked at them like they were both nuts, rather than her for ranting about Jinpei stealing her socks (Joe recalled biting his lip to stifle his laughter, from behind his newspaper when she told them that). Frustration lined her face when she shouted that she didn't know why she asked for their help at all and she should have known they couldn't be serious about it. Jun had then yanked away the rest of Ken's uneaten BLT and Joe's coffee mug, effectively letting them know, it was time for them to leave. Ken shoved Joe's hand off his arm. "Well, baka,if you hadn't put those ideas into Jinpei's head, we wouldn't be where we are right now. " He paused thoughtfully. "Or rather you wouldn't be where you are right now." "It was a joke!" Joe whispered harshly, glancing behind him making sure Jun wasn't watching them from down the block. "I had no idea the kid was going to take it seriously." Ken stopped walking and turned on his heel, shooting Joe a look of total disbelief. Joe stopped too, right before crashing into Ken, and ran a hand through his sunstreaked hair. "Ok....ok, but not as seriously as he seems to be taking it." he offered half-heartedly, emphasized by the slight lift of his shoulder in a shrug. Ken rolled his eyes and continued on towards the parking lot where he left his bike, with Joe following at his heels. "Did you really think that Jinpei was going to let it go?" he snorted. "Come on Joe! You knew he was going to do something loopy like this." Joe struggled to find something to say, mouth working but nothing coming out. Of course he knew the kid would take it to heart, the little brat, but not to the extent that he would pilfer Jun's laundry and cause her to freak out that badly. Hell, the kid was supposed to be a science ninja--and he was being anything but stealthy about the whole thing! It was supposed to be an innocent little joke that Jinpei would wonder about and then let go when something else caught his interest as it would inevitably would. Except.... that wasn't happening. Not this time.... Ken swung his leg over his motorcycle, straddling it and put his helmet on. "I don't know Joe." he shook his head slightly, as he buckled the helmet. "But you better think of a way to fix this. Especially before Jun winds up going broke from constantly buying new socks." Joe stepped back as he started up the bike. With a brief nod Ken pulled out of the lot, kicking up gravel and sped off down the street, leaving Joe standing there alone. K'so. . Joe thought grinding his teeth together, as he walked towards his car, fishing for his keys in his jacket pocket. What the hell was he going to do now? He couldn't tell Jun what happened. She would kick his ass from here to eternity, and then hang him out to dry if she knew he was the cause of this. The G2's door swung open silently, and he slid into the car, thankful to get out of the cold. The silver key turned in the ignition, and the engine roared to life, breaking the silence. Jinpei, he surmised grimly, revving the engine. He would have to take it up with the runt. But...how? Dammit, he would have to think of something, and quickly. Maybe later on tonight he would come up with a few ideas, after he had a few beers in him. With that, he shifted the car into gear and pulled out into the empty street, leaving a streak of burnt rubber and drifting smoke in his wake.
