Red vs. Blue After
It had been a couple years since the Meta incident. In the past couple years a lot had happen Church had reappeared, Tucker had came back, and Tex had revealed herself. They were all comfortable in their new bases by now and were sleeping peacefully in their somewhat table like beds. Until Church's com link started to ring like crazy in his helmet. He was sleeping on his stomach and didn't bother to get up only to reach over to his coffee table with his helmet on it not moving much still half asleep. He knocked down a couple of things until he finally grabbed his helmet. He sat up slightly and pulled the headset out of his helmet and messily placed it on.
"Hello?" Church said in a very groggy and tired voice.
""Hello this is Command. We have called to inform you, you and your team are being sent home." The somewhat bored and femininely voice of the regular Command lady on the other line informed.
"What?" Church asked rubbing his eyes not getting what she said.
"You and your troops are being pulled out and sent back to earth." She said trying to talk more clearly.
"What?!" Church said jumping from his bed realizing what she said.
"Your be-"
"This is great!!!"
"I'm glad your happy. The pelican will be there to pick up the Reds and Blues at noon tomorrow."
"Okay!!"
"Command out." Church stood there smiling for just a few seconds before jumping and screaming excitedly.
"Yes!!!!" He looked at the time to see six am. He ran out of his room wearing his White T-Shirt and Red and Blue stripped pants. He ran by Caboose's door first knocking loudly. "We're going home!!" He then knocked on Tucker's door loudly and screaming, "Tucker we're going home!!!" He then ran over to Sister's door and knocked loudly and yelled excitedly again, "We're finally going home!!!" He then came to Doc's door. He'd been staying with them now since no one else wanted to hire him and there was no cave in Valhalla. He yelled putting his head near Doc's door, "Its finally over!!" He was walking away from Doc's door only to find Tex standing in front of him her arms crossed blocking him from walking away. "Tex!" Tex only looked at him frowning her Emerald Green eyes glaring frustrated at him.
"Its six am and your screaming like a little girl while I'm trying to sleep!!" Tex yelled unhappy. Church had been crouched at Doc's door a bit which since he was taller then Tex made him at her eye height. He stood up completely making her head now reach his mouth. Tex slightly raised her head to meet his eyes as he glared down to her.
"I got a call from Command! Their sending us home!!" Church yelled excitedly staring at her with a smile. Tex looked at him with her mouth in a crocked smile as though she believed nothing in his last sentence.
"Stopping pouring shit to my." Tex said not believing him. "If this is another one of yours and Tuckers' pranks forget it. I'm not falling for something as ridicules as that."
"Tex I'm serous!" Said Church excitedly. "They called me on my com!" Tex snickered shaking her head then replied, "No. I'm not falling for that. I know how your little pranks work by now Church."
"I'm serous! Do you really think I'd plan to ruin sleep?" Tex thought for a moment her smile still crocked and her arms crossed over her chest.
"Yes." She replied quickly. Church laughed a bit.
"No. I'm serous. They called me on my com come see I record all my calls." Said Church walking away and making the come on gesture with his arm. Tex looked at him her arms crossed, crocked smile, and a suspicious look in her eyes. He continued walking then gestured her to come along again while he continued walking toward his room. She blinked slowly once then started following him reluctantly finally putting her arms down and racing to catch up. She caught up a few seconds later slowing her pace.
"I'm telling you they called me."
"Whatever." They both then entered his dark room. "I'll get the light." Said Church putting an arm in front of Tex to stop her from going past the doorway. She then crossed her arms again and leaned against the doorway of his room as he entered. She could barely see his outline in his dark room as he stumbled on video games and clothes on the ground until finally reaching the light on his night stand. He twisted the knob on it and it flickered on then off then on again staying this time.
"Come on in." Church said walking over to his helmet laying in his bed. He sat down on the edge of his bed and grabbed it and the headset now laying on the bed nearby. Tex stepped over video games and clothes until reaching the bed and plopping down next to him her arms still crossed and her smile still crocked.
"Give my a sec." He said putting his helmet on.
"Access latest audio file." Tex could then hear beeping coming from his helmet. She looked up to his face and started laughing braking the somewhat awkward silence.
"What's so funny?"
"You just look funny all dressed in casual Pjs then you look up to see a big Spartan helmet on you face." Explained Tex trying to stop laughing long enough to talk. Church frowned under his helmet then something appeared on the screen that made him jump slightly.
"Its finished listen." Church said taking off his helmet and taking out the headset. He held it in his hand for Tex.
"Here." Tex grabbed it and put it on.
"Start playing audio file." Ordered Church as he looked at his helmet. And barely two seconds later they heard a beep from it and the file began to play in the headset. Tex smirked for a few seconds then stopped and looked serous and concentrated on what she was hearing as she pushed slightly on the ear piece. Church smirked at Tex as she listened looking around as if she was confused. Church took advantage of her being distracted and started checking her out. She was wearing a Gray tank top and Black cotton pants her bright Orange hair was slightly messy from sleeping, but not much considering how short it was. Minus the clothes and her hair being a bit messy she looked like she did normally when out of her armor. Church admired her as she looked up at him snapping him from his thoughts.
"Its true?" Tex said confused.
"You heard it yourself baby I mean Tex." He said quickly shaking his head when he screwed up. Tex only smirked slightly at his 'baby' comment then stood up. Her Green eyes glared slightly looking down to him on his bed.
"Church.. We're going home!" She yelled more excitedly then Church expected from Tex as she raised her arms in the arm as if to hug in through mid air or expecting him to get up and hug her. Church only looked up to her smiling only to send her mixed signals as his eyes told her he was sad, but his body language told her he was happy.
"Its great isn't it!" Tex lowered her arms only to give him the what the hell is wrong with you? Look. "What?" He said with a confused expression.
"Nothing." Tex said shaking her head. "Night." Tex then walked out leaving Church to wonder. He moaned then let himself fall backwards on his bed.
