A/N~Okay, so here is a Generator Rex fic, my favorit show ever! Let me know if anyone seems out of character and something like that.
Disclaimer~Not mine, the only characters who are mine are Sally, and whatever other family members or friends she has.
Sometimes you just had to get away, Rex knew this philosophy all too well, in fact, he practiced it several times a week. So when he opened his eyes to the usual boring white walls one Saturday morning he groaned, it was just one of those day.
Pushing that night's nightmares to the back of his mind he sat up and slid out of bed and onto the cold white floor. For once he had woken up before his alarm clock went off, it was 6 o'clock. He yawned and stood, making his way towards the automatic door, his bare feet scuffing across the smooth floor.
"Bo-Bo, were going out today," Rex called. The talking chimp jerked awake in his hammock and mumbled something uninteligible.
"Of course we are," he muttered. A smirk could be seen on Rex's face as he left, heading for the men's shower.
The hallways were cold and dark this early in the morning, no one was up yet. Everyone who worked for Providence practically lived there 24/7. Most people worked in five day shift, however, people like Dr. Holiday and Six were always on base, because they played a more important part in the war against EVO's.
As Rex sleepily made his way down the hallway he couldn't help his drowsy mind from wondering to forbidden topics, like his family and the closest people he had to one. Dr. Holiday, Six, Bo-Bo, and maybe even Noah; they were truly the only people he had right now, probably the only reason he was still sane. This was one hell of a crazy world at the moment, and he was the only one who could save it, and the weight of that responsibility was crushing him.
When Rex did finally reach the showers he was fully awake and aware. The large tiled room was empty aside from a few shower heads and bars of soap. He walked to the furthest shower station and turned the water on first, so he wouldn't have to stand there naked and freezing while he waited for the water to heat up…
He showered for 45 minutes, he was already clean and now he was just enjoying the feel of the hot water on his bare skin. Reluctantly he turned the water off and left. He headed back to his room where he pulled on his normal clothes and then headed for the cafeteria.
Bo-Bo was already eating by the time Rex arrived so the teenage EVO grabbed himself a bowl of cereal and plopped into the chair next to the talking chimp.
"So where we goin' today?" Bo-Bo asked.
"I don't know, figured we could just head into town and check out what's new," Rex shrugged and shoved a spoonful of sugary cereal into his mouth.
"huh, well I heard there was a fair down town, we could check it out, maybe see if there are some hot babes," the chimp scratched his head while examining his plate of food.
Rex gestured at him with his spoon, "I like the way you think my friend."
Both Rex and Bo-Bo shared a smirk before glancing over at the door leading to the main hallway which had been opened by a sleepy field agent. This time the two EVOs shared a glance of worry before getting up and quietly sneaking out the other door. They wanted to leave before anyone noticed them.
One amazingly loud, bordering obnoxious, escape later, the duo was zooming down the road that led to the city on the Rex Ride. The temporary freedom Rex got when he escaped was always fun just because he was running from Agents half the time, but this time it was rather dull and he was regretting the decision to leave so early.
The landscape zoomed by in a blur and in fifteen minutes they reached the city, normally, in a car it would take an hour. Rex deactivated his ride and they both looked around.
"Hmmm, I'm guessing that you don't know where it is," Rex looked down at the chimp.
"Nope," Bo-Bo grinned up at the teen.
"No biggie, we can just ask around," Rex eyed the crowd of people that moved up and down the streets, "Who would be a good person to ask though."
"Well, we know it's down town, so let's head in that direction," Bo-Bo suggested. Without waiting for a reply the chimp began to walk in the general direction of down town. Rex shrugged, seeing nothing wrong with the idea, and followed. Truthfully, he just wanted to see what a fair was like, he couldn't remember ever going to one since the explosion. He was hoping it might jog his memory some.
"I'm thirsty," Rex blurted out five minutes later.
"So find a vending machine and work some mechanical magic," the chimps reply was automatic, being used to the teen EVO.
Rex didn't really like to steal, but he supposed if it was just one drink it would be ok. Glancing around, he spotted a Cola vending machine next to the entrance to a three story mall. The mall was right in the middle of the city and a parking garage was right next to it, and it was packed, Halloween was in a few days and people were shopping for costumes and decorations. Groups of people hung out in front of the shopping center, either talking on their phones or with each other, either way, they were all distracted.
Rex nudged Bo-Bo and they headed over casually. Of course, Bo-Bo would bring attention anyway, so the chimp moved off to the other side of the entrance to draw the wondering eyes away from the teen EVO. As soon as people started to point out the strangely dressed chimp Rex placed his hand over the money slot on the vending machine. Neon blue lines made their way down his arm and over the surface of the machine, there was a clunking noise and a bottle of soda shot out and Rex swiftly caught it.
He turned around to grab Bo-Bo's attention and smacked face first into someone else. Apparently Rex was the sturdier of the two because the other person fell back in an explosion of plastic bags.
"Ouch," it was a girl. She sat on the ground rubbing her forehead. So it had been more of a chin to forehead collision.
"I am sooooo sorry," Rex reached out a hand, which she took, and hoisted her back to her feet.
"No, it's fine, I think a few brain cells managed to survive," the girl chuckled. Rex took in her appearance and decided he liked her. With her short bobbed, dark brown hair and amazingly bright blue eyes, she was the picture of an angel, if she hadn't been wearing combat boots and a studded belt. Rex could already see a bruise appearing just over her left eyebrow.
As if sensing his guilt she smirked, "It's ok, I think I'll live."
"Alright wise guy," Rex had his usual grin on his face, clearly enjoying the sarcastic banter. He glanced down at the bags scattered at the girl's feet. "Let me help you with those," he bent down and grabbed one, surprised by how heavy it was. "Whoa, what's in these?"
"Oh, they're clay models. My dad makes them and we're selling them at the fair," she reached into the bag he was holding and pulled out a small clay dragon. It was so intricately detailed it blew Rex's mind. The guy must have used a needle to carve it. "Whaddya think?"
"It's amazing!" Rex picked up a few more bags, carefully this time, "I hope none of them got broken."
"I'm sure their fine, even then, my dad makes two of each just in case," the girl had a casual, almost non-caring, expression on her face.
"Well, I was headed to the fair anyways, I could help," Rex offered.
"Sure, that would be great!" The girl picked up the last bag. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Huh? Oh! It's Rex," he chuckled, "What about you?"
"I'm Sally, nice to meet you Rex."
Over on the other side of the crowed Bo-Bo face palmed. Just when they were going to have some fun the kid had to go all puppy eyes over some girl.
