It was night time over the Red and Blue bases, nothing had seemed to change, each team was at the end of a box canyon only the Red team had a ocean at the back of their base. The only change was the people who were on the team's: Blue base had Church, Tucker, Caboose, Tex, and Wash. Although Sister liked to join which ever base pleased her at the time, Red base consisted of Sarge, Simmons, Grif, Donut, Doc, and Lopez. While it seemed like the team's were still friends when it came to saving the world, Sarge was more than pleased to return to the Red vs Blue battle he had known for so long. Every once in a while a grenade would be thrown or the tank would be fired, it was all friendly fire although both teams spied on each other occasionally just to cure the boredom that had set in.
Red base had everything simply laid out, everyone had their own rooms, even Sister who was hardly ever at Red base. They all managed to get along quite well, Sarge gave orders, Grif ignored them, Donut made gay comments, Simmons kissed Sarge's ass, Doc went along with whatever Donut wanted to do, and for Lopez, well, he actually did everyone's job even though they didn't understand a single thing that he said.
At Blue base the sleeping arrangements were, a bit packed to say the least. While Church, Tucker, and Caboose all got their own rooms, the last room was split between Wash and Tex. Of course Tex won the bed and Wash was left with the old cot they managed to find in storage, it was a easy assumption that Church was unhappy about Wash and Tex rooming together but he wasn't going to show that he loved Tex more than he let off. Wash had been sound asleep until he heard Tex tossing and turning more than normal, 'she must be having a bad dream' he assumed but he stayed half awake just to make sure.
Tex had become drenched in sweat, her blonde hair clung to her skin as she tossed and turned. It wasn't long till she shot up from the bed with her eyes wide and her hands searching her torso, as if she was looking for a wound or something. Washington watched her as she pulled her knees to her chest as she softly said Church's name. "Tex is everything okay?" Wash spoke in a low whisper, he was actually concerned about her.
"I'm fine, what are you spying on me or something?!" Tex looked at Wash with the same bitterness she looked at everyone else who had tried to get close. She glanced at the clock which read 3:15am, she got out of bed throwing a book at Washington as she exited the room to go shower and calm down. "Ow!" Was all she heard from Washington, she quickly ignored it and continued to her destination.
She wore black shorts and a black tank top, looking in the mirror she could see the mess that she was, her blonde hair was every where and her eyes here puffy from what little crying she did do. "Pull yourself together Allison." She mumbled to herself as she began stripping to get into the shower. Her shower was long and hot, it filled the room with steam and fogged up the mirror. Soon she stepped out and quickly got dressed as she heard some commotion from down the hall, it sounded like Church.
"Raaaaiiiinnnn!" Caboose's voice rang as he ran down the hall. 'Rain? Isn't that normal for around here' Tex ran into her room, waking up Washington as she quickly got into her black body suit and her armor and ran out the door.
"What the hell Tex?!" Wash sat up and headed out of the room to join Church and Tucker. "What's going on?"
"Apparently it's raining. End of the world" Church said with a hint of bitterness in his voice.
"Oh great. I got up at 4 in the morning for this? I'm going back to bed, wake me when Tex makes breakfast." Tucker turned on his heels and heads back to his room.
"But Tex never makes breakfast." Wash said looking slightly confused.
"That's the point. He doesn't want to wake up unless it's on his terms." Church chuckles, 'for being a Freelancer, Wash is a little slow about things.'
"Right." Wash nods and heads out to see what has Caboose and Tex so thrilled. Church followed him. They both noticed that Tex was no where in sight, but Caboose and Sister were playing in the rain like children. Church didn't know how he was put in charge of this team, he went back to his room and put on his body suit and armor and left to go find Tex.
