When Axl was with Red Alert, he hadn't had many opportunities to let loose and have fun. His unique talents were a necessary asset to the group, and their limited numbers ensured that they always had a lot of work to do.

The Maverick Hunters were different. Axl was still busy a lot of the time, but he got the odd weekend off every now and then - and permission to use his ride chaser recreationally, suggested to him by Zero of all people.

This meant that Axl could ride through the city at night, enjoying the brilliant lights as they flashed by - and his partner in crime could enjoy it, too.

"Wow..." Pallette held Axl tighter, leaning her head on his shoulder. "...I need to get out of the lab more."

"Could've told you that myself," Axl remarked. "Isn't it awesome?" He paused, smiling. "...This is what we're fighting for, yeah?"

"Yup." Pallette hummed - just barely audible over the roar of the wind. "And you've been outdoing yourself lately!"

Axl heated up a little. "Aw, shucks... you're making me blush."

"Good..." Pallette giggled. "That's what I was aiming for." She gave him a squeeze. "You know what's even awesomer than this city?"

"Yeah?" Axl glanced back at her, but only briefly - he had to keep his eyes on the road. "What is it?"

"You," Pallette answered him, and she kissed the side of his head. "You're the awesomest."

Now that they'd been going steady for a while, Pallette always jumped all over every opportunity she got for a date with Axl.

Even something as simple as a stroll through an open field was fun with him. It helped that he'd picked one that was relatively untouched by conflict, a safe haven in a dangerous world, and the sky was only slightly cloudy.

Pallette ran through the field after Axl, enjoying the sound of the wind and the feel of the sun on her exterior. The grass tickled her ankles, and the faint smell of sweet flowers reached her nose-

Axl suddenly came to a halt, flopping backward onto the grass, and he gave Pallette an expectant look. She shrugged, smiled and joined him, gazing up at the sky.

"Dork," Pallette teased him.

"No, you," Axl retaliated, playful. "You're an even bigger dork."

…She couldn't really deny that, but it didn't change the fact that he was a big dork, too.

Sometimes, life created the strangest situations.

Pallette hadn't anticipated having to bail Axl out on a mission after he got in over his head, but here she was, carrying him back to the extraction point. Of course none of the other Hunters or their navigators were available… and of course the dunce would get his legs disabled and his copy chip knocked offline.

…That promised to be a tough fix. Fortunately, the blueprints for the new-gens hadn't all been eradicated yet, so at least they had that to go off of.

"…Hey, why can't we just zap back to base, anyway?" Axl spoke up, sounding both confused and annoyed. "Why d'ya have to carry me?"

"'Cuz we couldn't shut down the jammer," Pallette answered him. "Thanks to you getting your butt kicked."

Axl's tone became sheepish. "Sorry 'bout that…"

"Seriously…" Pallette breathed a sigh. "I'm about ready to get a copy chip installed so I can take over your missions for you." A thought crossed her mind. "…Can you transfer the DNA data you've already copied to other reploids with copy chips?"

"Dunno." Axl shrugged - an action that jarred him loose from Pallette's hold. "Ack!"

Pallette tried to catch Axl before he fell to the ground, but he ended up destabilizing her enough to knock her over. She yelped as she hit the ground, then glared at the idiot reploid who'd managed to get them into this predicament.

"Uhhh… whoops…" Axl lifted himself up a little, then collapsed again. "…You okay?"

…He was in a pretty sorry state right now. Maybe she'd been too harsh toward him.

"Yeah, just gotta…" Pallette slowly pulled herself to her feet, gently pushing Axl off as she went, and then she went to pick him up again. "…Maybe try a different position? You could hold on better if you used your arms, right?"

Axl blinked at her, and then his face turned beet-red as his exoskeleton became hot to the touch, and despite everything, Pallette couldn't help but laugh. He was an adorable little menace - her favorite of the Hunters now.

Maybe next time, she'd see how he would react to being asked out on a date…
