Disclaimer: I do NOT own Looney Tunes, Warner Brothers, Duck Dodgers, etc. If I DID, things would probably be interestingly weirder. XD I ONLY own MY OC(s).

Pairing(s): Commander X-2/Marvin the Martian and my OC Kitna Nox.

Author's Note(s): Yay! I updated! LoL Don't know when I'll have the next chapter(s) ready as I never know what life is gonna throw my way. :3

If you want to see a picture of my OC Kitna you can visit the fan page I took over for my friend on Facebook called "No, This is Hatter".

"Captain and Commander"

"Game Over"

Everything went black, and then kind of static-y, before the lights clicked on and she pulled off the helmet of the virtual reality game they had been playing. "FUDGE!" The Captain cursed as she tossed the device angrily onto its holder; the gloves following suit as the Cadet began removing the gear as well.

"It's okay, Sir. I thought you were brilliant." The kind Cadet praised. The taller of the two females scowled and ran her fingers through her white hair. "Yeah, I know… You did great too by the way… But that was the LAST LEVEL!" She all but whined as she held her hands out in front of her in a "DEAR GOD WHY?!" sort of way.

Cadet Petunia Incense rolled her eyes and tried not to laugh at her comical Captain's antics. Petunia was a pig, much like the Eager Young Space Cadet who not only worked for Captain Duck Dodgers, but was also her boyfriend. But she liked to call him Porky for short.

Her hair was in black braids and her Protectorate uniform was a pale cotton candy pink that darkened on the gloves, collar, gloves and belt. Unlike her boyfriends uniform though, her head wasn't covered.

"Yes, but it certainly was fun, wasn't it Captain?" Petunia inquired; trying to comfort her frustrated commander.

The taller woman nodded glumly. "True… But it's gonna be forever before we get a chance to play Invasion of the Argylnauts again!" The ravenette frowned and gave her Captain a consoling pat on the back; understanding what she meant. "There, there, Cap'n Kit."

See, her commanding officer was Captain Kitna Nox of the Galactic Protectorate, who just also happened to be the young cousin of the Martian Queen Tyr'ahnee, which technically made Kitna the Princess of Mars.

Kitna had white hair (like her cousin) that flowed and stopped just about an inch or so above her shoulders in wavy tresses that were a bit wild and a little spiky in style, but attractively so; she wore a green headband to help keep it out of her face. And like a Martian female, she had the ebony complexion as well.

However, seeing as her father had been a human from Earth, she had a visible mouth. It was petite and a lovely shade of red like a rose, which matched well with her eyes; they were such a bright, rich red that her mother used to say that whenever she missed Mars that all she had to do was look at Kitna's eyes.

She wore a fire engine red version of the Protectorate uniform that darkened around the collar, but that was covered by a golden Martian necklace her mother had given her; it had a bright green jewel in the center of it, and it matched the wristbands that were to be worn with it.

Her belt was of the same gold shade, while the traditional markings on her face were more of a yellow color. Whereas her cousin had purple markings around her eyes and across her nose, Kitna's were the aforementioned yellow, and the marking across where her nose was (even if no one could see it) had sharp curves near the middle like the tips of the pincers of a scarab beetle.

The snowette wore the boots, which matched the dark shade of red for her collar, but she didn't wear the gloves. They felt too confining for her taste. She was more the outdoorsy, adventurous, tomboyish type. Hence why she was rather bummed out about having lost the game so close to having beaten it.

You see, Kitna's mother had contacted her about a week or so ago and told her that she was old enough to return to Mars to take the Martian Trials; also known as the Tentatio, in order to be officially accepted by the people of the red planet as their Princess.

And while she found the challenge of that interesting, it was what came after that had her reluctant to go through with it. See, seeing as she was the Princess of Mars, after completing the Tentatio, Kit would also have to go through the rigorous process of Princess Training in order to succeed or take over for the current Queen in case anything befell her or she was absent for some reason, and junk like that.

"Ugh…" Kit curled her fingers in her hair and closed her eyes. "I don't want to be a princess! It's sooooo boring!" She groaned sullenly as they headed off to get a snack before setting off.

"You just wait Captain. The time will fly by like that." Petunia emphasized her point by snapping her fingers as they grabbed some grub and sat down at a table to eat it. "That's what you say. You don't have to spend three years stranded on some dull dust ball!" Kit argued.

Living on Mars for at least three years was also apart of the deal; to ensure you stayed long enough to learn what one needed to in order to be a "proper princess", oh the horror…! "You can leave whenever you want!" She added before taking her frustration out on biting into her slice of cheesy pizza.

Petunia put a hand over her mouth to stifle a giggle. Her boss sure could be moody sometimes. While she wanted to feel sympathy for the usually spirited and cocky Captain, she couldn't help finding the woman's antics more comical than anything.

Truth be told, even the Cadet couldn't picture Kitna as a Princess. The woman was more akin to one of those heroic pirates or captains like you'd see in some old but exciting movie. The ones they used to show on that stuff called "film" or was it flam? Well, anyways, the point was that frilly girly things and all that seemingly snooty royal stuff didn't suit her commander one bit.

Sure, she wasn't gross like a guy, in fact she was more cool and charismatic than anything, but Kitna simply wasn't into girly things. The closest thing to dolling herself up was her Martian bling and the yellow stuff she wore on her face; then again that stuff was pretty durable and the Captain slept in it even.

"At least your cousin made an allowance of you being allowed to leave Mars in case the Protectorate really needed you." The short little piggy offered in an attempt to cheer her up. "Hmm… I suppose." Kit muddled that before feeling her mood brighten some. She'd have flat out said no if it interfered with her work as a Galactic Protectorate Captain. Even if it was a mandatory type of Martian tradition.

Being a Captain kept her busy, and adventuring around the cosmos tended to be fun and interesting. "You know… since me and my parents had to move to Earth, I've only ever been to Mars to visit with my cousin when we were little kids." She began thoughtfully. "And even now, I remember that there wasn't much of interest to do." Suddenly, a look of realization came upon her face.

Shooting Petunia a scrutinizing look that made the Cadet squirm uncomfortably, she spoke. "You better not beat that game without me, Cadet. That's an order." And despite how childish and silly it was, it was certainly given with a warning tone that the ravenette knew to take seriously. "Y-yes Sir! I promise!"

A few moments more, and then Kit's expression softened into a smile; the answer being satisfactory and lifting her foul mood at last. "Good!" She chirped, and then they returned to eating; carrying on a comfortable conversation seeing as Kitna was in good spirits now.

They finished up and left the intergalactic space mall they had been having fun in; it having been apart of her last Harrah before having to live on Mars. The two boarded the ship to embark on their trip from Earth to Mars. Kitna feeling a knot of dread in her stomach as she tried to focus on how nice it would be to see her cousin again rather than having to be a freakin' princess.

To be continued...

Thanks to all who have read so far! :3 Would love to know how ya'll are enjoying my first attempt at a Duck Dodgers fic.
