...Okay. How's that for a straight answer?

"Oh. Wow." Ratchet said, exhaling. [i]Shit,[/i] she thought. She decided not to touch the somewhat unpleasant subject for a while.

She turned her attention back to Meifeng and Aiden. "Um, Meifeng, you just... kick Garchomp's ass for a little bit and catch up with us later," Ratchet said awkwardly. "I'm just going to get Jenny safely out of here, 'kay?" Her eyes darted over to a parked bicycle leaning against a brick wall. [i]Of course,[/i] Ratchet thought, [i]Stealth Rock support always helps.[/i]

She turned right around, but secretly pulled her left arm in front of her and ripped the key. The wheel whizzed silently as Ratchet concentrated on the bicycle behind her. The bike wobbled, then abruptly lurched into Aiden's back. Likely she was just throwing gasoline onto the fire, but she did so covertly and without any intent of letting Aiden know that she was responsible for the bicycle. Throwing a bike at someone from behind required a bit more effort on her part, but not by that much.

Ratchet didn't like to fight; neither did she like turning away from folks who gave them fightin' words. But the bicycle thing gave her a bit of reassurance. (She didn't say a word about the bicycle, however.)

"I haven't a doubt that Meifeng's going to be fine," Ratchet said, looking down at Jen. "She looks like she plays pretty rough. And Play Rough is a move that's super-effective against the Dragon type in [i]Pokémon.[/i]" She smirked at Jen, hoping that she'd get the reference.

She stopped, then turned around, craning her neck to see if her aunt's moped was still there. Thankfully, it still was, and she had the key in her overalls pocket.

She turned to Jen. "You want to wait for Meifeng?" she asked. "We can wait for her to finish whipping Mushu's booty if you want."

Her iPhone buzzed. She checked the phone; it was a text from Kate. [i]You enjoying your beach day?[/i]

[i]Friend getting into a fight,[/i] Ratchet texted back. [i]Like WTF.[/i]
