Candy's Questions

"I'd like to go first, Skye." Candy piped up. Skye handed her the mint green and pink gathering of papers.

The Go Jetters looked slightly nervous.

"You okay, Go Jetters?" Asked Zaria.

"We're just nervous. We didn't expect to be asked some questions now." Said Foz.

"Well, I haven't got too many questions." Said Candy. She flipped through the papers, there were lots and lots of them.

"Oh, boy. That's a lot more than how you said." Groaned Kyan.

"Don't be rude, Kyan." Said Candy, "okay, these questions are all aimed at Foz. First question: Why, exactly, are you so small?"

Xuli smirked. Foz threw her a death glare.

"It's probably some variation in my DNA that I inherited from my family. Yes, I might have a small body, but I have a big brain." Said Foz.

"Yeah,  we saw how big it was when you exploded the Vroomster's engines." Lars whispered.

"Foz exploded the Vroomster's engines?" Said Skye, aloud.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?!" Xuli screamed. Then...you know what's coming.

Xuli chased Foz around the room for a long time.

*Half an hour later*

After Xuli calmed down and Foz sat down, panting, Candy continued.

"Second question: What do you do in your spare time?"

"Obvious what he's gonna say." Murmured Kyan.

"Well, sometimes I go to my bookshelf and pick out a random selection of books, or I search the Internet for interesting scientific experiments. Or when I have too much on my mind, I take a nap to clear everything until Ubercorn wakes me up and tells me it's dinnertime."

"Now I know why I find you asleep before dinnertime." Said Ubercorn.

"Third question: Do you have any brothers or sister?"

"Well, I was an only child for ten years, and while I was a cadet, my mother had my little brother and sister -twins- Felix and Fiona."

"Aww!" Said Zaria, "I never knew you were a big brother, Foz!"

"Me neither," Candy agreed, "Anyway, thanks, Foz. Moving on to Lars. First question: Do you have a crush on Xuli?"

Zaria and Skye smirked at the same time.

"Oh, umm..." Said Lars, shifting his eyes from Xuli to Kyan, who was glaring at him.

He sure did love Xuli, and he did have a crush on her. Only Foz knew that. But if he says it in front of Kyan, he, no doubt, won't get through the questioning one hundred percent okay.

"Can I whisper my answer?" He asked Candy.

"Nope," Said Candy, "Your answer is way too obvious,"

"Okay," Said Lars, then, in a lower pitch, he said, "Yes,"

However, Kyan had a good sense of hearing.

"YES?!" He screamed. Xuli gasped, "You do?"

Kyan was mad, and was about to pounce on Lars when Ubercorn stood up and pulled him away.

"Now, Kyan," He said.

"But Xuli's MINE!!" Kyan screamed. He wriggled out of Ubercorn's grip and pounced.

*A few minutes later*

Lars was badly bruised and was hurt real bad. He lay on the sofa, holding an ice pack given to him by Zaria by his head where Kyan hit him. It was very painful.

"Sorry, Lars," Said Candy, "Anyway, second question: Does it annoy you that the Vroomster has a mind of its own and therefore can cause any disruption when it wants?"

"Well," Said Lars, "It is annoying sometimes. I feel like I'm the one who should keep it under control and not Xuli. It feels unfair sometimes! I mean, I know that I helped build its 'mind' but it never gives me anything to show its gratitude!"

"Excuse me?!"

The voice came out of nowhere. The three girls looked around, looking for who said that, until Skye paused.

"Vroomster, stop trying to freak us out," She said, frowning.

"Oh, I forgot it's been a while since it started talking," Said Xuli, patting the hood, "Lars, why didn't you remind me?"

"Uhh..." Said Lars. His mind went blank.

"ANYWAY," Said Candy, "Third question: Why did you decide to become the mechanic?" 

"Well..." Said Lars, "Well, I started making stuff from the a very young age. When I came to the Academy for the first time, I really proved myself. That's how I became a Go Jetter. I liked to do mechanism just for fun, and now it's my dayjob."

"Ah, God-given talent, eh?" Said Candy, "Anyway, fourth question: Why do you drive the Truckster and not Xuli?"

"Umm..." Said Lars, "Well, the day it was made, Leo told Xuli to try test it out. But it didn't go too well..."

"What happened?" Asked Skye.

"Well, on a steep slope, she lost control of the Truckster completely. It ended up with the Truckster laying on the bottom of the slope, smashed into pieces, and Xuli unconscious on the ground, not breathing. Kyan had to do some CPR to keep her alive while the ambulances came. Turns out, her grip on the wheel wasn't enough, and she was only used to air vehicles like the Vroomster and Earth vehicles if they're on flat grounds like the Bonneville Salt Flats like the Turbo Zoomster. Considering I was the only older person than her, Leo gave the job to me. I tested it...and it was perfect." 

"Ouch," Said Zaria.

"Thank you, Lars. Moving on to Kyan. First question: Where did you go and what did you do on that first date with Xuli?" Said Candy.

"Oh, um...let me remember," Said Kyan, "Ah, yes. It was on the evening on the beach. Me and Xuli were watching the sunset together on a cliff. I brought some things to eat. We sat together on the cliff and talked to each other. It lasted until night-time. There was a shooting star shower that night. We shut our eyes and started wishing. I opened my eyes to see that she fell asleep on top of me. I carried her all the way to bed and shut the door. And after that I had to explain to Ubercorn about where I was for the entire evening."

"Xyan," Whispered Zaria to the other fangirls.

"Yeah," Whispered Candy and Skye.

"That sounds really romantic, Kyan." Said Candy, "Second question: Are you and Kwazii still good friends?"

"Well, ya," Said Kyan, "Although we might not see each other a lot, we call or text each other every night and tell each other what we've been up to during the day. And when we meet, we chat with each other -mostly debating about Xuli and Tweak- and perfect our best friend handshake."

"Never knew you guys had a handshake," Said Foz.

"Yeah," Said Kyan, "But it's a secret, and I'm not gonna tell you."

"Okay," Said Candy, "Third question: People see you as energetic and crazy, but do you have a softer side?"

"Obviously yes. Everyone has their fair share of being crazy," Said Kyan, "But I also have a soft side."

"Oh, really?" Lars taunted.

"Yes, I saw that, being his girlfriend and all," Said Xuli.

"Us, too," Said Zaria, "In fanfictions, DUH!"

"Are you writing this in this Wattpad right now, Candy?" Said Ubercorn.

"I'm not," Said Candy.

"Me neither," Said Zaria.

"But I am," Said Skye, pulling out her trusty phone and a silly face.

"Humph," Said Ubercorn.

"Don't be mean, Ubercorn." Said Candy, "Thank you, Kyan. Moving on to Xuli. God, I've been yearning to ask you those questions for a long time. Question one: Do you still see Dashi and Tweak a lot?"

"Well, same as Kyan and Kwazii. We skype each other at night, and do stuff when we meet. Like hang out in my room and paint our nails."

"I see a lot of glitter when Tweak and Dashi are around..maybe that's the cause." Said Ubercorn.

"Second question: Do you still race with Kwazii?"

"You kidding?" Said Xuli, "I never stopped racing against him! We race every single time the Octonauts come to the Academy! And I always win."

"Apart from the time three months ago," Said Ubercorn.

"What happened?" Said Candy.

"Well, Xuli had a fever and went racing instead of resting in bed. She eventually fainted halfway through the track. We had to take her to the Hospital to check her over." Said Lars.

"Don't remind me," Xuli hissed.

"The doctor told me to remind you every now and then so you won't go racing while you're ill  again." Said Ubercorn.

Candy laughed, "Okay. Moving on. Third question: What's it like, being the only girl?"

"Ah, easy." Said Xuli, "INTIMIDATING."

"Hold on, why?" Asked Foz.

"You boys have each other to hang out and have fun with," Said Xuli, "But me, I have no one to enjoy and spend my time with."

"But Xuli," Said Ubercorn, "What about Tweak and Dashi?"

"We rarely meet together." Said Xuli.

"And what about Lily?" Said Ubercorn again.

"She's a good friend and comes nearly everyday. But she helps around and I often miss it when she has breaks."

"Fourth question:" Candy went on, "Have you forced any of your teammates to go full-blown shopping with you?"

I did, but I don't want these fangirls thinking I'm mean to my team...

"No," She answered.

"Yes." Said all her teammates at the same time.

"Me mostly," Said Kyan.

"Oh, Xuli..." Mouthed Zaria.

"Even me," Said the Vroomster.

"Boy, Xuli." Said Candy, "Anyway, fifth question: Do you want to jus sit and cry when you think of your parents?"

There was a long pause. No one said anything.

"Xuli?" Said Candy.

"She doesn't like to talk about these things," Ubercorn remarked.

Xuli suddenly burst into tears.

"Oh my God." Said Skye.

"Can you...excuse us for a moment?" Said Ubercorn.

Candy, Zaria, and Skye nodded.

Ubercorn held Xuli's hand and walked her over to the corner of the room.

"You can go upstairs if you like," Called Zaria, pointing at a flight of stairs at the left of the room. Ubercorn helped Xuli upstairs.

"We'll be back in a tick!" He called below.

Kyan glared at Candy.

"Don't upset my girlfriend like that, or else." He hissed.

"I didn't intend to upset her! I swear!" Said Candy

"Let's wait for them," Said Skye.

*Upstairs..*

"Xuli, you shouldn't get so upset about your parents," Said Ubercorn as Xuli cried onto his lap.

"S-sorry," Choked Xuli, "I-it's just that...being an orphan...it's so rough on me! You saw how those older cadets bullied me!"

"Xuli, drop it, that was six years ago. Didn't Bailey tell you not to be so negative? She lost her parents as well and she moved on from it. Although she was crying a little at first. Xuli, I don't want you to be weak and crying,  I want you to be strong and leave the past behind." Said Ubercorn.

"I'm not like Bailey, Ubercorn. I know we were both on the same page for a while, but...I'm just still really heartbroken. I need something to help me get over the shock..."

"It's okay. I'm right here for you. Your parents might not be around where you can see them, but they're deep down, in your heart. It's been such a loss when your parents died for not only you but the entire Academy. We all remember your parents. Greg and Laura played a big part in the Academy. Their loss is big, and it left a big hole in our hearts where they used to be. Losing family for you, and losing best friends for me. Please get over it, Xuli."

"Okay..." Said Xuli, cuddling onto Ubercorn one more time before going back downstairs.

*Back downstairs..*

Candy, Skye, Zaria, Kyan, Lars, and Foz sat down in complete silence. They heard Ubercorn's voice and Xuli's cries.

"Xuli, you shouldn't get so upset about your parents," 

"S-sorry, I-it's just that...being an orphan...it's so rough on me! You saw how those older cadets bullied me!"

"Xuli, drop it, that was six years ago. Didn't Bailey tell you not to be so negative? She lost her parents as well and she moved on from it. Although she was crying a little at first. Xuli, I don't want you to be weak and crying, I want you to be strong and leave the past behind." 

"I'm not like Bailey, Ubercorn. I know we were both on the same page for a while, but...I'm just still really heartbroken. I need something to help me get over the shock..."

"It's okay. I'm right here for you. Your parents might not be around where you can see them, but they're deep down, in your heart. It's been such a loss when your parents died for not only you but the entire Academy. We all remember your parents. Greg and Laura played a big part in the Academy. Their loss is big, and it left a big hole in our hearts where they used to be. Losing family for you, and losing best friends for me. Please get over it, Xuli."

"Does she regularly get upset about her parents?" Asked Zaria.

"Yeah. She even cuts herself at night when no one's looking." Kyan answered.

"Ooof," Skye flinched.

Just then Ubercorn and Xuli walked back downstairs.

"Feeling better?" Asked Lars.

"Uh-huh." Said Xuli.

"Sit back down," Said Skye, "Do you want to take a break for a while?"

"Nah," Said Xuli, "Go on, Candy."

"Okay," Said Candy, "That's a definite yes for my question. Sixth question: When you're in the Hospital, what do you do for fun? I know you possibly can't do much, but hey. You get the idea."

"Yeah," Said Xuli, "Depends on how badly I'm hurt. The others always come every now and then to keep me company. When I only have minor injuries, I can sit up. Which means I can play on my tablet, skype everyone every now and then to tell the others I'm okay, or read some fanfiction on Wattpad."

On that mark, the boys said, "You do what?!"

"Read stories on Wattpad," Said Xuli, taking out her tablet. She was in the middle of reading a story. "This one's a good one. But why can't it update, 'G.O. Fangirl'?"

"Xuli," Said Skye, her cheeks turning red, "'G.O. Fangirl' is the story of your experience here, right now."

"No wonder the events look familiar," Said Xuli.

"When you're badly hurt?" Candy piped up.

"When I'm badly hurt, I stay put for a long time and can't even sit up for a while. Doctors and nurses help keep me entertained. They help me eat, text, read, and even sleep! I often go in a coma when I'm hurt too badly, so I'm often not around. And don' t forget the operations. They put me to sleep under anesthetic and start the procedure."

"Well, that's quite a mouthful," Said Candy, "Seventh question: What do you think of your mum, Ubercorn and Glitch being friends when they were young?"

"It's kinda absurd," Xuli said, "I mean, Glitch was the reason the plane crashed and it killed mum and dad. It was impossible to believe that they were friends in their youth. If Glitch didn't get jealous my parents would've still been alive. I think it's too weird to be true."

"I totally understand, Xuli," Said Candy, "Thank you sooo much. Now, Vroomster, would you mind answering a few questions?"

"Sure, I don't mind a few questions from my fans," Said the smug vehicle.

"Okay then. First question: What is your daily routine?"

"Well, depending on what Xuli's up to. Usually it goes like this: I wake up at the same time as Xuli. We go out on a morning flight for half an hour. She goes to the kitchen for breakfast while I take a break. She works while I wait for her to finish. She flies me for a long time then goes to take a nap while I have a little shut-down. She goes to lunch while I sleep a little longer. She wakes me up after a little work and flies me again. After that, she goes to work and has dinner while I wait. She flies me for fifteen minutes before Ubercorn calls her and tells her it's time for bed. She often sneaks out and gives me a flight through the stars."

"Night-time flight. Like the sound of that." Said Candy, "Anyway, second question: Are you great friends with Jet Pad and the Truckster or rivals?"

"Well..." Said the Vroomster, "Jet Pad...we're friends, but we have our arguments. Like the time she said she was better than me."

"You texted all your anger out that night and woke us all up," Said Ubercorn.

"One thing I was glad about being woken up by the texting: Ubercorn sounds like a train when he snores, and it rattles the whole of Jet Pad. When the texting began, it woke him up and stopped the snoring." Said Kyan.

"Oi!" Yelled Ubercorn.

"The Truckster is a really good friend to talk to," Said the Vroomster, "When I'm getting fixed, it often talks to me and keeps me entertained until I'm all fixed up. I think it's a better friend than Jet Pad."

Lars smiled.

"Thanks, Vroomster," Said Candy, "Didn't know you could answer these. Anyway, that's all from me. Thanks guys." She handed her file back to Skye, who put it back in the big black folder.

"So that's it?" Asked Foz.

"Nope," Said Skye, "Those were only Candy's questions. Me and Zaria have questions to ask as well."

"Oh, boy." Said Kyan.

"Zaria, would you like to ask next?"

Thanks for the questions, Candy ;)
