Betty's Desire

It was Saturday morning and the twins and Rika had already left the night before. They had to sneak back home at night as their families did not know they were gone. Spec wasn't in the mood to cook as he had a bowl of honey nut flavored shredded wheat cubes with milk. After he finished eating, his door bell rang. "Who is it?" he asked over the intercom.

"It's Betty, Penny asked me to check up on you."

Spec was confused as he wondered just how many people were going to "check up" on him. "Come on up." he said before buzzing the young badger in. He unlocked the door and washed his bowl in the kitchen sink quickly before he heard a knock on the door. "Little help please?" he heard after he turned off the water. When he opened the door, there stood Betty in a gray tee shirt and black jean shorts with a black back pack on. She was blowing a pink bubble as she had a white mountain bike next to her. Her bubble popped as she took the gum back into her mouth and said "Hi." Spec replied with "Hey Betty, how's it going?"

"Not bad. Like I said, doing Penny a favor and see how you held up after a night with the twins and the fox mistress of the occult."

"Well... It was a unique evening to say the least. Do you want to come in?"

"Sure. Can I bring my bike in?"

"Yeah, you can lean it against the wall in the hall way."

Betty smiled and started a new bubble as she carried her bike in. Spec noticed that her back was catching as it spun.

"Do you need to adjust your back break?"

"What do you mean?" she asked as she stopped and looked at her rear wheel.

"Flip you bike upside down and I'll show you."

Betty did as he requested as Spec walked off to get something from the kitchen. He returned with a small plastic gray box. He squatted down near her back wheel and gave it a spin. Sure enough, after a couple of spins, the wheel would always catch against the break pad at the same point. Betty moaned, annoyed by the fact.

"Great, now I need new breaks?"

"I don't think so. They still look good so I can just adjust the spacing for you." said Spec as he opened up the small box, revealing some tools. He quickly started on the breaks with a hex key as Betty watched him.

"Do you like working on bikes Spec?"

"Well I like messing around with things in general. Feels good when I can fix things. That and I had to do something similar to my bike before."

"Do you still ride?" She asked before blowing another bubble.

"Sometimes. I like to go on trails but city biking is fun too. Just not during rush hour. I love the ridged front fork style of mountain bikes like yours. I feel like you can push harder with them. When I tried riding with front shocks I always felt like I might flip over the handle bars."

Betty was paying attention to each of his words as Spec switch to a cross head screw driver and made a final adjustment before spinning the back wheel. It moved smoothly as it spun.

"Go ahead and give the break a squeeze and see how it feels."

Spec gave the wheel one more spin before Betty tested her break. When she squeezed the handle the wheel came to a complete stop. The pressure felt good to her as she smiled.

"Thanks Spec. It's nice and smooth now." she said as she watched the wheel turn. As Spec put his tools away, Betty noticed his hand wasn't wrapped up anymore.

"Does your hand feel better?"

"Yeah. I've been flexing it so it's not stiff or anything." he said as he clenched his fist and relaxed it to show her.

"May I see it?"

"Sure." He said as he presented his palm to her. She took it and looked it over as she felt around with her thumbs. Everything felt and looked normal.

"Good. I'd hate to think I permanently injured you by accident. Not that Mindy helped any."

"Well I've had worse happen to me." he said as he flipped her bike up right and wheeled it into the hallway. Betty looked around as she casually continued to blow bubbles. She paused when she saw the little Spec doll that Rika made.

"Where did you get this from?" She asked upon Spec's return. He leaned in and adjusted his glasses to see what exactly she was talking about.

"Rika made that for me. She said it was a blessing for fertility and something else."

Betty stared at it for a moment before walking away towards the kitchen as she took out her gum.

"Kind of creepy, isn't it?" she asked as she tossed her gum into the trash bin.

"A little but it is no where as weird as her chanting in front of a mirror naked in a circle of candles."

Betty stared at Spec with an expressionless face and blinked. It was a tense moment before she spoke again.

"Yeah, that sounds like something she'd do. Keep an eye out for other weird things if she comes back here. If you think it's creepy, why do you leave it out for display?"

"Well she took the time to make it for me. She said she made it with my fur. I still don't know where she got that from if she was telling the truth."

Betty grumbled upon hearing that bit of information. Before she could comment, Spec continued.

"I mean aside from the weird occult, fertility thing it's a sweet gesture. If I leave it out I can just show Rika that I still have it and not seem like I'm trying to hide it or anything."

Betty looked at Spec with a bit of a smirk and a inquisitive grunt upon hearing his reasoning. She took a seat on the couch as she pulled out a pair of finger less gloves from her pocket.

"So is it true you knocked Mindy on her ass when she tried to attack you?"

"Well it was more of a reflex, but yeah. After I took her baton I pushed her back."

"She said you gave it back to her and told her how to use it better."

"I did."

"Why?"

Spec sighed as he thought about why he did. It was a moment before he answered.

"There is something familiar about her. She acts tough but I feel like that's because she is hiding something. Maybe if some one listens to her, she'd open up."

"You're weird, you know that Spec?" She said with a smile before she stood up and stared playing with the same yo-yo as last time. Spec watched her for a moment as she did a few tricks.

"You're pretty good with that thing."

"Thanks."

"Are you sure you want to play with that near me again though?"

"Don't worry. It wont go flying out of control again." She said with a smirk. "But just in case, don't try to catch it this time." Spec scoffed and chuckled at her comment as he continued to watch.

"Why a steel yo-yo though?"

"Well, you've heard how they used to be weapons right? Who's gonna question a innocent looking kid's toy?"

"Fair point. So how good are you with it as a weapon?" he asked. Betty smiled as she caught it in her hand and began moving it up and down.

"Got three things that you don't care if I break or not?"

Spec was curious as he went to his recycling bin. He pulled out three empty soda cans and lined them up on the kitchen counter top a few feet away. She smiled and built up some steam with her yo-yo. She tossed it and bulls eyed the can on the left. Her second strike came form the left as it took out the right most can. With a bit of an excited yell, she over tossed the yo-yo and jerked back on the cord, causing it to pull back and crush the center can from above. Spec was impressed with what he saw as he let out a low whistle.

"Remind me to never piss you off royally when you have that in your hand." he said as he inspected the damage. It ranged from dented to smashed with out a single mark on his counter top. The last can was the most intimidating as it had a small gash in its side. He turned the can to show Betty the product of her skills. "That's impressive."

"Thank you." she replied with a smile as she continued to do the basic up and down movement. Spec gathered the cans to dispose of them again as he continued talking.

"How long did it take you to get that good?"

"A few years I guess. After I learned they were first used as weapons I didn't believe it. I started with a basic round yo-yo and over time worked my way up to this one. I learned ticks from watching videos and just copied them." she said as she went back to more elaborate tricks.

"What about the attacking? Not exactly something you can do at home without drawing some attention."

"That was trial and error at our safe houses. It wasn't easy at first and got some bruised palms. That's why I wear these." She presented her open palm to Spec to show off her gloves. Spec looked them over before asking "May I?" She nodded and he took her hand. Her gloves were made of gray leather that covered her fingers up to the middle knuckle. They weren't super thick but had enough heft to them that they provided a good amount of padding.

"These are good quality gloves. Wish I had something like these when I was in the engine room sometimes."

"Yeah, I love these. Had to cut the finger tips off these."

"Did you cut them yourself?"

"Yeah..."

"You did a good job. No fraying and even. You are a young lady of many talents."

"Thanks..." She said as she started to feel flush in her cheeks. There was something about the way he paid attention to her and talked that she admired.

"So, do you have any other plans today?"

Betty shook her head as she realized she was spacing out. She stuttered a bit before answering.

"Oh, um... No, I don't have anything else planned. I've gotta call Penny and let her know you are okay but other then that I was kind of hoping I could stay here. I really don't feel like hanging out at home and the rest of the girls are busy this weekend."

"I don't see a problem with that. Hell, at the rate you Hotel girls come to visit I might as well be running Sprout meetings here."

"Oh if you only knew."

"What?"

"Nothing. But we might have Sprouts meeting here eventually. Just so you know."

"Heh. Well as long as Mindy behaves I think we'll be alright."

They both laughed softly for a moment before Betty went to her back pack. She took out her phone and another piece of gum and started chewing.

"Well, I have a small confession. I was hoping that I could spend the night. I have cloths and everything. Even some money to help pay for food."

"You don't need to do that Betty. But I do need go out and get some groceries if you are going to stay for dinner. Do you like burgers and pork chops."

"I'm not picky. From what Penny tells me you are a pretty good cook"

"I try. Well then, make your self at home Betty. I'll be back in an hour or so."

Spec headed out as he left Betty by herself. She blew a bubble as she made a call. Her phone rang a few times before she got a voice mail message. She sighed and popped a bubble before speaking.

"Hey Penny, it's Betty. I checked up on your man and it seems he survived both the twins and Rika. By the way, our little occult fox left Spec a gift. I'm going to spend the night here so I'll see you at school Monday. Later."

Betty hung up and put her phone down as she started fishing thorough her bag. "Sorry Penny." she said as she pulled out a black lace garter. She admired it for a moment and smiled before pulling out a matching bra and pantie set before saying, "But I'm going to have fun with daddy tonight."
