I stood at the bridge, arms folded behind my back. I stared out into space and pondered what I would do when I finally caught up with…her. Not more point in trying to reject what I think. She looked like a she. Why keep calling “it” an “it” if “it” would mean more to place more hate on something that might actually have a soul. White Fire walked in. I looked over my shoulder in acknowledgment and continued my gaze. She looked at the ground and stepped next to me, looking into space with me. “I never thanked you for last month.” She said. “The whole Tessa incident? Don’t worry about it, it was my fault anyways.” I said with a smirk and looked at her. Her eyes met mine and I looked away. “I know, but thank you anyways.” She said softly. She was being too nice…”No problem.” I smiled. I t faded away when she looked at me again. “Your welcome.” I said quietly and she smiled and gave me a one armed hug. She then left. Me, personally? I was in complete fucking shock. Tessa phased in from nowhere…or everywhere, however you want to look at it. “I saw that.” She giggled. “What?” I asked rudely. “The way you look at each other. You two have got a lot more close these past couple of weeks.” Tessa giggled and sat on some of the control…well, it appeared that way. I really don’t want to go into how a hologram works. “What you trying to say?” I asked and crossed my arms. Im not stupid, I just refuse the truth most of the time. “You two like each other.” She laughed then “awed” and said that it was soooo cute. I growled at her. “Alright, alright, but the next time we…oh, wait! There a planet that’s very well for this situation. Next stop, class b planet.” She laughed and I felt the ship steer a little left. “Tessa, no!” Too late the ship was already heading to land on a planet nearby. Very tropical too. “Damn it Tessa!” I slammed my fists on the door. It caved a little but was re-fixed by Tessa. “Were we going?” asked Shou from an intercom. “We’re taking a break, ok?” I snapped. “Sheesh, fine. It’s getting a little stuffy anywho.” Shou grumbled. The blue and green planet came into view.
Planet Tropics: Thoughts
The ship’s pegs extended out and pressed into the grassy area. Air was pressured under the ship to help it land. It landed and the thrusters turned off. A door opened and I leaped outside and onto the tall grass that went up to my waist. White Fire then so climbed down the ladder. Shou and Kusanagi both seemed to do they’re own little trick out of the ship. Some elevator lifted Frogo down. He was wearing a wristband allowing Tessa’s hologram self to walk around outside the ship…as long as she was 300 feet around Frogo. I just walked into the jungle, not really caring what was inside. I put my hands in my jacket and leaned against a tree. Frogo hopped next to me. “Whats wrong?” he asked. He already knew anyways…it was like Tessa and Frogo had a link connected between them. I didn’t bother speaking. “So, you know you like her. I know you like her. Im pretty sure Shou knows you like her. The only one who doesn’t, is her…and that dumbass Kusanagi.” Frogo said. “Whats the point Frogo. We have a mission. And the last person I had feelings for, died in my arms. Because of me…Water is gone. So what happens if I start openly caring for her?” I asked, looking down at him. He seemed to shrug. “Well…I know one thing. Water would want you to be happy. Just do what you believe is right, Soul.” Frogo then hopped away, leaving me to think.
What does she think?
Emotions. Feelings. She was told to forget all these things when she joined the military. But the military was gone. She has to think for herself now. She wasn’t wearing her military armor today, but a black tank top and some white pants. “Why don’t you tell him?” Tessa asked, hanging from the tree. Kusanagi was sharpening a stick. “Just go up to him, and kiss him. That’ll get his attention.” Kusanagi said. Tessa shocked Kusanagi. “Ow.” White Fire just sat there and picked the unusually large flower. “I don’t know…Im afraid. He doesn’t seem to know.” She said, looking at the ground. Kusanagi got up. “Tessa, go away for a second.” Kusanagi ordered. “But…” Tessa started as she landed on the ground. “Just do it.” He said. Tessa just “hmph”ed and faded away. Kusanagi sat next to White Fire. “You do realize he isn’t that stupid. It’s all just a cover. He is very fucking smart and very mature. The way he acts like a dumbass kid all the time IS a cover up. But it weakens around you. He likes you, I do know this. I’m not that stupid either. Just tell him how you feel. It will be ok.” He said. White Fire was in shock but had her face in her hands. He helped her up. “Just go, and talk…and hurry, we have 5 minutes! We’re leaving soon!” She ran off towards Soul’s direction.
Surprise
I was sitting in a tree when White Fire ran by. She stopped and looked up. “Hey.” I said and hopped down in front of her. Maybe a little too close, since I could feel her breath on my face. “Sorry.” I apologized and took a step back. “Its alright.” She said. There was silence for a couple minutes. “We’re about to leave.” She began. “I know.” I cut her off. Another silence. “Your getting strong, fast.” I told her. She blushed, “Thanks.” Then out of the blue I asked, “How do you feel about me?” Apparently we said it simultaneously. Another silence. She was about to speak, but I interrupted, “Listen, White Fire, I like you a lot. But I’m afraid of falling in love with you. If that happens and something bad happens to you…I don’t know what I’ll do. So lets just take this really slow, ok?” I told her. She seemed a little sad but smiled and nodded, understanding. I clasped her hand and hugged her. “We’ll take it slow…” She whispered. We both walked out of the jungle. (Aww, isn’t this cute :)…lets get to some action >:) ) Just then a huge saiyan space pod flew through the trees, inches from our heads. It slammed into the ground, at least 100 feet away from the Ender’s Flame. The pod door opened. White Fire and I ran up next to Kusanagi and Shou. Everyone was amazed and worried from the power emanating from inside. From the light, a well-remembered enemy stepped out. Crusher lifted his hands up, “Expecting someone else?"
