Unicorns Take To The Skies [open]

Welcome, visitors, to the Hangar, storage place of all the crew's marvelous mecha and other vehicular machines. We have rows of automobiles, motorcycles, trucks, tanks, mechs...and the small group of mechs that doesn't quite seem to fit in a military storage area. Today the activity is around those, the Zords, animal-shaped machines painted in a variety of eye-catchingly bright colors. Sure to intimidate the Ohm!

The mechanic of these large machines, one Billy Cranston, has been assigned a daunting task taking place within this hangar. Make them capable of combat outside the atmosphere of a planet. In the great void of space.

Now, Billy is very lucky, for two of the six are already prepped for this! That's one third less work than he would otherwise have, Billy reminded himself as motivation. Adding flight capabilities to four very large mechs was still a challenging task, but it could definitely be worse.

He'd learned from Trudy that it would be a wise idea to put his plans into motion (and complete them) as quickly as possible. Luckily, the initial designs and supply-gathering had already been completed. That just left him (and any volunteering assistants) to install the necessary rockets within the Zords. One night of continuous work had resulted in the completion of the Lion Thunderzord---under the paws, he'd found convenient places to install rockets. All he needed was a round of coffee, and he'd be able to get through one more.

Visitors would find him kneeling on a fairly long temporary high platform attached to the Unicorn Thunderzord, sporting a sleeveless mechanic's uniform and a coating of sweat and grease. One 'wing' of the zord had had its paneling removed, and his head was currently somewhere inside that mass of machinery running the new wiring through.

It might take a try or two for him to answer calls or come down the ladder. Sounds tend to echo when your head's in a giant unicorn.

Ronnae however frowned, her cheeriness sapped a tad out of her. She gave Boomy her basket and watched him hover down before she flipped off the tall Zord, landing effortlessly on the ground below her before turning to face her boyfriend, a serious expression on her face as she placed her hands on her hips.

"I'm going to pretend that I didn't just hear that. And instead heard, 'Can we take a break? I could really use a nice meal and a quick nap.'" She was stern, but it was clear on her face that she was worried.

Boomy waddled over with the basket and settled it down, turning his gaze over to look around for his friend.

Flare was there, currently deep within the machines, but she waddled out to add to the people being stern with her master. Even machines, lacking the biological needs humans had, didn't work as long as he did. It wasn't safe.

Billy slowly backed away from the Zord, swinging the door closed. It wouldn't do to have everyone cross with him today, and to be honest...he did feel worn out. Head bowed, he sat near the basket in what he assumed was going to be the picnic area.

"I could. I just can't stop worrying about when this battle's due to happen."

"You wearing yourself out will only add to the difficulty of the battle love." She sighed, taking a seat in front of him and placing a gentle hand to his face, a soft expression on her features. "Exhausting yourself before the battle will only make matters worse. You need to pace yourself, if the battle does start, we have plenty of capable pilots who will take to the skies on a call. You don't need to be pushing yourself, specially if you want to help them."

She leaned over and gave him a soft sweet kiss before smiling and opening the basket. There were nice smells coming from it, as she pulled up some of her versions of his favorite cheeseburgers, with a side of fries. A nice container filled with refreshing strawberry juice accompanied the meal, as she set the area for them both.

Billy knew this and felt guilty. He'd feel even guiltier if the battle started and it wasn't completely finished, but...he was almost there. He could ask for help if it was needed, couldn't he? "I'm sorry. I keep forgetting my limits and causing problems."

The second she pulled away from him, his mouth started watering. She just had to work on his favorite foods. He flashed a little grateful smile up at her, helping her smooth things out. "You're too good at this."

"What kind of a girlfriend would I be if I didn't know how to please you?" She said cheerily, almost suddenly blushing but deciding, since it was just them, to not cover it.

"And really, you should stop apologizing for stuff like this. You're as stubborn as me sometimes." She teased, a happy smile on her face as she noticed his approval of the meal.

Billy blushed as well, making sure to peek for onlookers. Fortunately, most of his well-wishers and assistants had already come by. "I can only hope I'm just as effective."

He nodded shyly, organizing the food and lifting it to his mouth. Delicious as ever. A bite simply served to confirm that, then another, then another...yes his manners were lacking, but he'd seriously been hungry! When did that happen?

Ronnae giggled happily, it did wonders for her mood when she saw her lover in good spirits, even more when he seemed happy with the food she made him. She picked up her own meal and ate it at her usual slow pace when she was in front of others.

Billy surprised himself with how quickly he scarfed it down, the drink as well. He looked up sheepishly to find Ronnie still eating. Hiding his mouth behind a hand, he moved to scrub off any excess food, and...

...well, what tends to happen to people who consume burgers and soda too quickly is that they accumulate and release gas. He did, and promptly became interested in his toes.

"...thanks. It helped a lot." He'd sit quietly for a few minutes before moving on. The order was to nap, right?

Ronnae tilted her head as a slight blush began creeping on her cheeks. For a moment she stared timidly before giggling, covering her own mouth as a hiccup made her bounce slightly.

"Want to head home for a nap, or is there somewhere here were we could lay down to catch a bit of shut eye before I let you continue your work?"

"I have my overnight working bag," he pointed out, patting his backpack. Soon enough, pillows and a rather large sleeping bag came out of it. "I did intend to sleep eventually."

After helping her clean up the meal, he slowly stood and led them to a more secluded spot behind the zord. There, he laid out the items, smoothing over the sleeping bag.

"All right, I'm going to sleep. I promise."

"Good, you should... but t-this place can be a bit lonely... soooo I... I'll keep you company! Yup!" Sure it was an excuse to stay with him, but who was checking right?!

She settled on the laid out items and waited for him to settle down besides her, an innocent shy look on her face.

"Afraid I'll wander off?" Billy teased back, carefully stretching before settling down at her side. He fluffed the pillows just the way he liked it (but not too much, he couldn't sleep too long, a balance between uncomfortable and comfortable would have to do) and flopped back against it.

"Sure you're comfortable, Ronnie?"

An arm draping across his chest and her head softly nuzzling against her favorite spot as soon as he settled down should have been enough of an answer. She nodded, a small smile on her face as she blushed, "Always comfortable like this. Could really not think of a better way."

So...essentially, he was trapped until she saw fit to release him. There were worse fates, he supposed, but she was far too clever. He sighed in surrender, sliding his arms over her shoulders and around her waist.

"No, you're quite intelligent. In this position, you can pin me down until it's time to release me, and you can hear when I've finally fallen asleep. Don't...get too comfortable, it won't be long," he yawned, snuggling her sleepily.

'Won't be long' indeed.

Ronnie smiled, breathing in tandem with him, lulling him to sleep with equally peaceful breaths. As soon as she felt him drift off, she took a moment to gaze at his face. He looked at ease, and without worry, that alone brought a sweet warmth in her chest.

She moved a hand to cup and caress his face, moving upwards to brush of a few locks of hair from his forehead. Leaning up gently as to not disturb him from his sleep, she lightly pressed her lips against his, letting them linger for a moment before moving back. "Sweet dreams love"

When Billy stirred several hours later, he definitely felt lighter than before. Safe, loved...as if someone had tended to him in his sleep and he sensed it. His dreams had, in fact, been sweet.

His fingers trailed up and down Ronnae's back, stroking her fondly. Soon, one hand slid up to her neck and held there, feeling her steady pulse. On impulse, he kissed her smooth skin up to the jawline, gently brushing it without a care in the world.

It seemed he had forgotten the time. Oops.

A small shudder ran up her body and she stirred, almost as if his touch was a key as she began stirring.A small yawn escaped her lips and she looked up, half dazed and sleepy. She smiled sweetly, "Hey love~" She voiced sleepily.

"Hey beautiful," Billy whispered in a seductive voice, claiming a kiss before her mouth could close again. It was warm and sweet, sucking just the slightest bit of excitement between them to get them to wake.

"I thought I was the one supposed to take a nap," he teased gently, brushing his fingers over her brow. The sleepy eyes were quite appealing.

Leaning into the kiss drowsily only made it so she smiled in surprise, a heavy blush quickly washing over her cheeks. Once they break apart she hazily smiles at him, a light giggle escaping her lips.

"Best way to wake up?" not really waiting for an answer she nods to her own question. "I couldn't help it. You looked so peaceful, and then I laid on your chest, and you know what happens when I do." Her voice slow and drowsy but cheery and sweet.

Ronnie's face was at its cutest like this, sleepy in her affection. He couldn't help but smile, leaning in to nuzzle against her face. "Do you know how entirely adorable you are?"

He clutched her tight, laughing softly. "We both know how lackluster my lullabies are, so it's lucky for us that my heart's an acceptable substitute." His finger tweaked her nose. "Usually puts you to sleep for a while...actually..."

Uh oh. Here comes the realization.

"How long was I out?"

"Does it matter? What matters is that you got your deserved rest, and relaxation, and now you are fully energized and aware enough to continue without fumbling or exhausting yourself further." She scolded in a sweet voice in between a yawn, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes as she leaned up on one hand slightly, her wince colored hair on lop-sided ponytails due to the sleep draping the area.

"I'll help you out and you know it" She smiled.

Billy nodded comfortably, curling up to her, though he checked the time anyway. It was habit.

"Four hours?" he moaned, dismayed. That was quite a bit of lost time to catch up on. He took one look at her and did his best to relax, brushing a ponytail over her shoulder.

"All right. If we're working together, we might be able to catch up twice as quickly." He slowly forced himself up on his hands, then his knees, then upright. They would finish this somehow, and then...perhaps some relaxation time was in order. AFTER they were done.

There was no one he'd rather work with, he smiled, extending a hand to her.

She raised a teasing brow and smiled, blushing slightly as she took his hand and slowly raised. "We'll have it done in no time." She winked at him, quickly gaining her energy. If there was something that Ronnie was proud of, was her engineering skills. It always gave her this flare of confidence and as such she was already making her way to the tool box... after a fairly heated kiss of course, there was no one around after all right?
