Powerborn Stories: The Beach Date

***Note: This story takes place after Powerborn's story mode. Don't worry, I will avoid spoilers, I just wanted to clarify that. Also despite Fantendo characters showing up this is still canon. Alright lets story boys. Enjoy!***

***Two Weeks Before***

* **Graviteen:** Phew...welp, thats the last of 'em.

Graviteen, Cheerleader, and Captain Turbo all stood before a pile of unconscious criminals who tried to rob a candy store. It was pretty late at night so it was easy to get the drop on them. As the police arrive and the criminals are loaded into a police car, Turbo walked away to talk with Emmet. When he does, Graviteen starts a conversation with Cheerleader.

* **Graviteen:** So...hows life doing...?
* **Cheerleader:** Uh...pretty good, I guess? I guess it could be worse considering aliens invaded a few months back.
* **Graviteen:** Heh. Yeah.

Like true teenagers, both of then proceded to awkwardly stand there for a minute or two, not sure what to say next. The last few months were really awkward between them, with Graviteen confesing his feelings to her while on an alien spaceship (long story). Ever since then they had no idea what to do. Do they start going out? Do they talk about it first?
Finally, without really thinking, Graviteen decides to actually do something.

* **Graviteen:**Hey, so...uhhh...I was thinking about going to the beach sometime, and I was...um...wondering if you would like to...y'know...come with me?

Cheerleader turns to Graviteen in surprise. She was not expecting that. Thinking that he did something wrong, Graviteen began to slightly panic.

* **Graviteen:** I-if you want to, o-of course! I'm not gonna f-force you to, I just-if you don't wanna I-
* **Cheerleader:** Oh, it's okay, I was just...surprised. Heh heh. Sure, I'll go with you!
* **Graviteen:** REALLY?! Er, I mean...cool! Thanks! It's gonna be really...uh...fun!
* **Cheerleader:** Yeah, I'm really looking forward to it!

Also without thinking, Cheerleader pulled Gravi in for a hug. Graviteen's face went bright red as he hugged back.

* **Graviteen (Thinking):** *Holy shit, not completely flipping is stressful! At least Cheerleader is taking it well...*
* **Cheerleader (Thinking):** *Holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit holy shit...*

Behind them, Captain Turbo and Emmet were watching. While Emmet was smiling at the two finally going out, Turbo couldn't help but chuckle at how awkward they were being. Still, he regained his composure and smiled warmly.

* **Captain Turbo (Thinking):** *Atta boy, kid. Your really growing up...I couldn't be more proud of ya.*

The two say their goodbyes as Graviteen and Turbo walk home. Once they were far enough from Cheerleader and Emmet, Graviteen began to tell Turbo about what happened.

* **Graviteen:** Finally! I've been meaning to ask her out for so long. I feel like a huge weight was lifted off of me!
* **Captain Turbo:** I can tell. You held yourself together pretty well back there. Believe it or not when I was your age I was way worse than you. Couldn't even talk to a girl.

The two laugh and talk as they head home.

***Two Weeks Later***

Graviteen felt the sand on his feet as he walked onto the beach. Turbo had dropped him off there and headed off to attend a meeting with Hoodlum, though he was pretty sure they were just going to grab a beer. As for Cheerleader, she lived a long way from the beach, so she wouldn't be there for another 30 minutes. Graviteen decides this is a good time to set up their spot, so he begins putting down the umbrella and lawn chairs.

* **???:** Hey...aren't you the kid who gave me chicken tenders?

Graviteen turned around to see a fimilar face: Redge, wearing some swimming trunks and goggles. Next to him was a young girl looking very excited. Graviteen had met Redge before when he went on a villain beating rampage over Chicken Tenders.

* **Graviteen:** Oh, Redge! Long time no see! How goes the whole...y'know...apocalypes thing?
* **Redge:**Eh, could be worse. We could all be dead, for starters.
* **Graviteen:**True. Hey, who's that?
* **Redge:** Her name is Yuki. She lives with me.

Graviteen couldn't imagine how challenging it must be living with Redge. And judging by her age, he figures that Redge takes care of her as well. Must be...interesting, to say the least.

* **Redge:** So, whats up kid?
* **Graviteen:** Oh, I'm just waiting for my da...I mean, friend to show up. Yeah, friend.
* **Redge:** Oh, a date huh? Nice. Me and Yuki are here to make a bitchin' sand castle. Most of the beaches at my place are polluted so we don't get this chance often.
* **Graviteen:** Cool! Looking forward to seeing it!

The two walk away discussing how cool the castle is gonna be as Graviteen takes a seat on the lawn chair. As he sits down, it suddenly dawns on him: Redge is right. This is a date. A date with someone he's had a crush on since they first met. He begins to panic a little bit before realizing that he doesn't really need to. The hard part is out of the way, they both are on a date, and he even kinda knows she likes him back.

Realizing he has no reason to get worked up, a smile forms on Graviteen's face as he closes his eyes and tried to take a nap...before hearing panting noises next to him.

* **Graviteen:** Mm? Do you need anythi...what the?!

Before him sat a red and yellow wolf with his bottom half being a thruster. This was the Thrusterhound, and it kinda just wondered onto the beach. It sat in front of Gravi waiting for him to play with him. Hesitently, Graviteen began to pet him, and soon the hound was sleeping next to him.

* **Graviteen:** Well. Guess I made a new friend.

***An Hour Later***

* **Cheerleader:** Hey, Calvin! Wake up, sleepy!

Graviteen opened his eyes to see Cheerleader standing in front of him. She was wearing a life jacket and goggles. Graviteen was a little confused but then remembered hearing that Cheer never knew how to swim. Maybe it's best not to mention it.

* **Graviteen:** Oh, hey Alison! I was waiting for you. So, what do you wanna do?
* **Cheerleader:** Lets start by making a sand castle. The dog thing next to you can come too.

Graviteen turned around to see Thrusterhound was still there, as Cheerleader started petting it. Guess the little guy didn't wanna leave. The two got up and walked towards the shore to get some wet sand until Gravi was called by Redge.

* **Redge:** Hey, floaty kid! Check this shit out!
* **Graviteen:** Oh, hey Redge! How's the castle...oh my goodness.

Before them stood a huge sand castle the size of an igloo. Redge stood in front of it proud as Yuki sat inside the castle reading a book and waving happily.

* **Graviteen:** Woah...this is cool! How did you...
* **Redge:**I have my ways. Yuki froze the sand so it would be solid. I tell ya it was a pain in the neck getting it to stay up like this. Anyways, I'm gonna build some sick ass canons.
* **Cheerleader:** Good luck with that!

The both of them walked away as Redge started to gather sand using his chainsaw sword. Graviteen suddenly felt his stomach grumble, then heard Cheer's do the same. The two look at each other and chuckle.

* **Graviteen:**Heh. Guess we gotta grab some grub. Wanna stop by the walkway and eat?
* **Cheerleader:** Sure! Sounds good to me!

The two proceeded to walk along the walkway, grabbing a bite to eat, playing some arcade games, and messing around with Thrusterhound. Bit by bit, Graviteen slowly stopped being nervous and began to enjoy himself. Cheerleader was also having a lot of fun.
Afterwords, Graviteen and Cheerleader sit at their spot, staring off into the sky. At this point Thrusterhound had left to chase after some clay guy, and the two needed a bit of a rest. After a while, Gravi decided he wanted to finally swim. He got up and walked towards the ocean.

* **Cheerleader:** Hey, where're you going?
* **Graviteen:** I'm gonna take a swim. Wanna join?
* **Cheerleader:** Uhhh...ok, but lets not go too deep. I can't really swim.
* **Graviteen:** Oh yeah...oh, I know! I'll teach you!
* **Cheerleader:** Uh...ok, sure, why not.

Both stepped into the water and went deeper and deeper until Graviteen was at the point where he can't feel the floor underneith. Cheerleader stood back, nervous.

* **Graviteen:** Ok, now just come over here slowly. Use your arms to stay afloat. Don't worry about drowning, I've got you.
* **Cheerleader:** Ok...here goes...

Cheerleader started to wave her arms and swam towards Graviteen. She was a little shakey but she was doing a good job neverless.

* **Graviteen:**Thats it, thats it! Your doing great! Now lets swim a little-

Gravi didn't get to finish the sentence before Cheerleader grabbed and hugged him. Graviteen was very confused. Was she about to sink so she grabbed him to stay afloat?

* **Graviteen:** Alison, are you alright? Did...did I do something?
* **Cheerleader:** Yes. Yes you did.

She looked at Graviteen straight in the eyes with the warmest smile he had ever seen.

* **Cheerleader:**You made me realize something.
* **Graviteen:**Realize what?
* **Cheerleader:** This.

And without really thinking, Cheerleader kisses Graviteen.

For a split second, Graviteen went straight into panic mode. He wasn't prepared for this at all, and he had no idea what to do. But then, he felt every single negative thought in his mind leave. He hugged Cheerleader back as they continued to kiss, the world around them pretty much vanishing. He had never felt this good before.

After what felt like forever, the kiss ended and the two looked at each other. They couldn't help but start to laugh.

* **Graviteen:** Well, that was...not what I was expecting.
* **Cheerleader:**Yeah, sorry about that. Guess I got caught up in the moment.
* **Graviteen:** Don't be sorry. It felt really good! I enjoyed it a lot.
* **Cheerleader:** Thanks! I really enjoyed it too.

The two swam out of the water and headed towards their spot, beginning to pack up their stuff. Both of their dads would arrive soon to pick them up, so they began to pack up ahead of time.

* **Graviteen:** So...did you enjoy the beach?
* **Cheerleader:** Honestly? Best time I've ever had here.
* **Graviteen:** Awesome. Would you like to...do this kind of thing again sometime?
* **Cheerleader:** Absolutely!
* **Graviteen:** Great!

Awkward silence

* **Graviteen:** Hey wait does this mean we're a couple or something?
* **Cheerleader:** I mean...if you want to, I'm down for it.
* **Graviteen:** Great! So...Your my girlfriend now?
* **Cheerleader:** Pretty sure.

Both looked at each other for a second before sharing a short kiss, then embraced in a hug.

* **Graviteen:**I love you.
* **Cheerleader:** I love you too.

***10 Minutes Later***

* **Captain Turbo:** Holy shit, for real?!

Both Captain Turbo and Graviteen were walking home. Graviteen had just told Turbo that he and Cheerleader are an item now, and Turbo nearly spat out his drink.

* **Graviteen:** Yep!
* **Captain Turbo:** I...I donno what to sat. I wasn't expecting this, I'll be honest.
* **Graviteen:**Honestly, me either. I can hardly believe it happened!

The two arrive at their home and walk inside, sitting down on the couch and turning on Crunchyroll to watch some Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.

* **Captain Turbo:** Well, either way, I'm proud of you Calvin. Your starting to grow up.
* **Graviteen:** Thanks dad.

***The Next Day***

* **Emmet:** Do you idiots not learn?! Geez!

Graviteen, Cheerleader, and Turbo had just beaten up and arrested the exact same group who were trying to rob the exact same candy store. As the police took them in, Turbo went to talk with Emmet, leaving the two on their own. Instead of awkward silence however, they high-fived.

* **Graviteen:**You were badass out there today! Didn't even need your clones!
* **Cheerleader:** Thanks! You did awesome as well!

After a moment of silence, the two shared a kiss. It felt a little weird doing it so casually, but it didn't matter.

* **Graviteen:** Hey, wanna go to the movies tomorrow? They're re-running Spider-Verse.
* **Cheerleader:** Hell yeah! Wouldn't miss it for the world!

The two laughed and hugged as both Turbo and Emmet watched them. Turbo had a huge grin on his face, proud of his son. Emmet, on the other hand, just looked confused.

* **Emmet:** Hey, wait, when were they...
* **Captain Turbo:** Since yesterday.
* **Emmet:** ...huh.

The adults continued to watch their children grow.

***The End***
