Long Author's Note here. Sorry. Bear with me.

Yes. Ottova. 25 chapters of it. This was one of those things on my the challenge forum. The Ottova 50. a 25 chapter ottova fic and 25 ottova one shots. I like challenges, and It's would be fun to put some focus on a pairing besides spova (even though it is my OTP and is, in my opinion, awesomeness) , so I decided why not?

This is gonna be kinda AU, since it omits spova ever happening and all that jazz. Please, no complaints about how Sprx isn't trying t kill Otto and that crud. I'm kinda sick of how Sprx gets turned into a jerk every time there's a fic that he appears in that has a pairing different Nova X male monkey team member pairing. I mean, I could see an argument happening, but come on folks. Geez.

I'll stop ranting now anyways. Enjoy the fic.

P.S. If all you're gonna say is "Good fic but I like spova better", please don't bother with a review. I'm sorry if I sound rude, but I've gotten so many reviews like this they've become a pet peeve. I know lots of people like spova better. I like spova better. However, sometimes it's fun, in my opinion, to try and write some stuff about other pairings, and ottova is kinda cute in my opinion. Please, something that's helpful to the writer in your review would be nice. At least tell me something you liked about it if you're not gonna give me advice. Please and thank you.

P.P.S. This plot may seem familiar, but I'm no trying to copy the show, k? I thought this up when I was first starting to get into SRMTHG a good year and a half ago All I've done with it since then is changed the pairing and got the plot line all nice and pretty to write about.

Disclaimer: I don't own SRMTHG, or any of the characters from it. I just wrote this fic. I don't make any money off of it or anything (but man, that would be an awesome job if it was legal!) so please don't sue me. Oh, and if you were thinking of suing me, you must work for Disney, so please pass along this message to your company... "RENEW MONKEY TEAM."

Chapter 1

Darkness.

She was aware she had closed her eyes a few moments ago, so it should be dark. That makes sense. But this was different. It was that kinda darkness that made you shiver. The kind that had a sense of wickedness to it. "Team?" She called out, desperately searching for another voice. "Chiro? Antauri? Gibson?" No answer. "Otto? Sprx? ...Jinmay?" Nothing. She began to panic. It wasn't that darkness that scared her half as much as that she was alone in it. She was angry at herself for that. She should be stronger than this. But she was only mortal. Fear was something that had become a mimic of natural for mortals. Her panic only grew. "No.. no! Ah! Somebody hear me! Please! Guys! Team! Help!"

"Nova! Nova!"

Her eyes shot back open, light flooding them. She breathed heavily and looked to the ceiling, still frozen in shock and fear. She finally began to calm down and, seeing the ear of another monkey to the left of her bedside, looked in said direction. Moments later, she recognized the monkey's color as green. "Otto! Oh thank goodness!"

"Are you okay Nova?" Otto asked. "I heard you wailing from the repair bay. I was up late working on some stuff. I don't think I remember you ever having a nightmare before!"

"Heh. I guess not." Nova rubbed the back of her head, a little embarrassed at Otto's finding.

"It must have been really scary," Otto said.

"Yeah," Nova admitted.

"Do you wanna talk about it?"

Nova thought for a moment. "...No. I'll be okay. Thanks anyway."

"Okay. But you know you can always talk to me, right?" Otto asked. Nova nodded. "Good." Otto smiled and began to head towards the door.

"...Otto?" Otto stopped and turned back to Nova upon her call. "Can you promise me something?"

"Sure Nova. What is it?"

"Just... promise me you'll never leave me alone, okay? I mean, promice you guys won't leave me alone if trouble comes?"

"Nova! That's silly! Of course I wouldn't leave you! None of us would!"

"But still, promise?"

"I promise." Otto smiled at Nova, who a moment later smiled back.

"Thanks Otto."

"No problem!" With that, he exited the room and let Nova get some sleep.
