Alex chose that moment to sneak away.....but zero caught the suttle movement out of the corner of his eye. Sensing he had been seen, Alex sprinted away.

OOC: Random drawing of Jakob talking to Mezmer's Manager: holyjunkie.deviantart.com/art/Random-Drawing-1-112060539----- Jakob looked toward Tremorton High School. Teenagers of all sorts were pouring in like ants fleeing the rain. He didn't really enjoy going to the school, but he knew that the place was attacked often by outer space foes. There was an obvious reason though: the XJ-9 went there every day. Any moment to attack her would no-doubt bt at the school. Jakob had no idea what to do, so he continued to stand on the sidewalk across from the school. Suddenly, all of the kids not inside turned their heads like one entity. The school popular guy (Jakob recognized the popular kid as one Don Prima) was holding a stack of papers, along with what looked like teenage bodyguards. Jakob simply huffed at the notion of the bodyguards. Any matter of force would buckle the shins of any of them and cause them to wet themselves in utter fear. They were there for show. No two ways about it. But what were the papers for? Looked like invitations to some world-famous party. Interested, Jakob made sure his weapons were hidden well. He then walked toward the school.

Not sure if anyone was following him, Alex continued running....bumping shoulders with Don, and causing the papers he was holding to twirl around, due to the exertion of Alex to go as fast as possible afterward....causing a paper-tornado. Luckily, nobody had seemed to notice him, and probably wouldn't recoginize him if they had.
He had nowhere to go. He could probably get into the school without too much trouble, but he decided to lay low in town until something else happened. He would just wait.......

Jakob picked up a wad of papers from the ground, while Don was grumbling as he got up. His posse was also picking up invitations. Jakob handed his load to Don after the others gave theirs. Don gave Jakob a look that was a mix between "weird" and "respectful", and handed Jakob a piece of paper.
Jakob simply stood there as Don and his crew walked into the school. It was an invitation all right; to a so-called "world-famous party" hosted by Don Prima.
Jakob thought, and figured they would need more than a bouncer in case there was trouble. Considering Don Prima was a popular kid at school, many would want to go, and maybe go at many lengths.
Jakob then wondered if he should even care to wear something formal. Maybe he could give his coat and hat a good washing. Jakob shrugged and walked home.

Zero feels a little out of place, being that his appearance resembles more of a superhero arch-type than a teenager. Even Jenny's appearance has some kind of normalcy. Walking down the hallway with Amanda, he sees her. The girl with the red hat( www.tremorton.proboards33.com/index.cgi?board=creativity&action=display&thread=1332&page=1. ZERO: (Nudging Amanda) Over there, see her? Amanda looks. ZERO: Don't look RIGHT at her! He hides behind Amanda as the girl turns away from he locker.

Amanda looked back at Zero. "Why don't you go over and say hi to her or something? Or just walk past her and wave?" she suggested. "Girls like being noticed...Or at least, I think so." Amanda never really thought much like a girl herself, she just assumed things from the way she acted.

Alex had decided to return to Dr. Wakeman's house. Her van was parked outside.....good. He could get the answers he needed.
He rang the doorbell......after a moment, she answered the door.
"13! So, you decided to come back after all. I knew you would at least need your charge pack after a time.....you should have waited to let us know you were going. But, as far as I can see, no harm done. If you need a place to stay, you're welcome here anytime, but you're free to leave if you wish."
"Well, I may take you up on that....after all, I have no idea where I came from. I just wanted to ask you a few questions, though."
"Well, I'll answer as best I can....but I don't know much about you myself.....though XJ-9 might, as she knew you before the incident."
"Thanks for letting me know....I'll ask her about that later, then. I have one specific question for you, though: Why the new upgrades.....and paint job?"
"Well, XJ-9 seemed very....attached to you. I thought it right that you would match. Humans are so fickle, but I have no problem with her being with another robot....especially one that will do what's right, even with the choice to do what he wants. The upgrades were just to make sure you were a bit better prepared for another fight like that....just in case."
*******************************
Alex set up a charge station in the corner of the multi-purpose room, and then, after a quick cup of oil, set out to the highschool....he was going to reapply as a full-time robot for the first time.

Zero goes right up to her.
ZERO: Hi.
She remembers him and smiles back.
ZERO: (Nervously)Yeah, hi and um... I'm Zero... not a "zero", that just my name. I was thinking about...
He wanted to bring up the kiss, but became afraid if he had misread her intentions.
IRIS: My name's Iris.
ZERO: "Iris". That's a pretty name.
IRIS: (Blushing) Thank you.
Now they both get quiet. It's very awkward, and Zero feel a bit embarrassed.

Amanda stood watching them from her spot in the middle of the hallway, pretending to read through a book while she did so. It was just then when Sheldon had walked down the hallway, and Amanda lifted up her head to watch him walk down the hallway, then she started to scribble something madly into her notebook until she got cramps in her left hand.

OOC: I had a random idea that Don Prima's party would integrate into the general plot somehow. While at the same time, it could help everyone develop their own plots.

OOC: Same here.
While Amanda is still scribbling whatever it is, Zero walks up to her.
ZERO: I clammed up. I got as far as her name.

Amanda slammed her journal closed and looked at Zero. "Ahh, yeah, clamming up--Maybe you can try again later, now that you know her name. Did you tell her yours?"

Jakob wondered just what possessed that Don Prima guy to give a random helper an invitation. Was it the mask? The coat and hat? The courtesy? Either way, Jakob ultimately lost all interest in the question of why. A party would be an interesting thing to experience.
He was at the mall. Security and Skyway Patrol alike kept an eye on him. Jakob hummed some random song to himself as he stood at a random fountain on the ground floor. He was scanning the contents of the water.
Suddenly, three random kids walked up. They were obviously skipping school, and definitely didn't try any work to make themselves look inconspicuous.
Jakob saw in the reflection on the fountain that one of the three was pointing at Jakob while saying something to one of his friends. The three walked up to Jakob.
"I heard you put away some biker guy who held up Mezmer's." one said.
"What's it to you?" Jakob asked.
None of his friends seemed to get the idea that Jakob was dangerous to get on the bad side of. In fact, they joined in.
"Look at me." said the lead kid. Jakob continued to look at the mirrored surface of the fountain to spot one of them pull out a switchblade. It didn't take a genius to figure out that the three intended to attack the armored entity.
In an instant, Jakob spun and slammed an arm into the lead kid's head, knocking him aside. Jakob then lunged a jab into the blade-wielding kid's gut. The third one wet himself, obviously the wuss out of the three.
The lead kid was on the ground, clutching his head in agony. The second downed kid was choking and gasping for air.
"That's right, I did. That's what happens if you endanger the well-being of others." Jakob said. Mall Security arrived and apprehended the three. Jakob turned back to the fountain. Wondering just what the mall security is going to be doing with Jakob.
He didn't want to find out, so he left.

((I'm going to join in a second, but Zero, how old is your character? Is it okay if Jessie has a little crush on him?))
