Chapter 3: Moon's Rescue and Dippers Feelings
Moon's POV:
I was slipping, my fingers were straining. Dusty. Dusty looked on with fear before fierce determination took over, just as my last fingers gave way. He grabbed my shirt with his teeth. I gripped his hood as he pulled me up. I climbed onto his hood when I heard blades chopping the air, I closed my eyes.
"Mud Dropper we see you," I heard Blade shout, "Where's Moon?!"
"Here, on my hood," I heard Dusty shout, I looked up to see Blade looked down at me, I smiled but my shoulder screamed, "I think she might be injured!"
I felt my shoulder become on fire, "Blade my shoulder is either broken or dislocated."
"What do we do?" Dusty asked as the Cliff started to crumble.
Blade looked at us than at Windlifter, who saw me and my predicament. I hate this fate I miraculously had. I murmured, "What else can go wrong?"
Blade looked at me surprise as I leapt of Dusty's hood, and near his wing. Swinging myself on top of his Cockpit. I put one of my knees down and whispered, "We gotta fly off this Cliff. Just go to max Torque, I can do it Dusty."
"What are you going to do?" Dusty asked as he revved his engine.
I smiled at his antics, "Save our butts, by the way LANDSLIDE!"
Blade and Windlifter looked on in fear as we took off, a boulder smacking where we once stood. I smiled as we took off, Dusty flying at max Torque which was 170 mph. I didn't mind, I flew at this pace in my sleep. I learned how to do Stunts on the planes wings and cockpit's themselves. I used my new tech shows to grip to his metal.
"You NUTS!?" Blade shouted at me as I landed on his wing while he was still FLYING, "Are you TRYING TO GET YOURSELF KILLED?"
"Not really," I responded touching Dusty's side, he smiled at me as I continued, "This is actually a old stunt that I perfected throughout the years, in my world I mean."
"Your kind rides PLANES?!" shouted Blade through the Radio which got a shocked Dusty and a eye roll from me.
"Yeah we're also known to be reckless," I smiled at the comment I made. Dusty looked at me as I remembered, "Oh yeah, you guys don't know what we do, hmm?"
"Nope not a clue," Dusty told me and I laughed.
"Well, that changes a few things," I chuckled, "When we get back, I will get my computer and show you some stupid people doing ridiculous things. AFV HERE WE COME!"
We all laugh at the comment. I didn't mind, as long as they left me alone of the why I was up there. We'd be fine. I didn't like talking about my past. Only Andrew and I can come up in conversations. He was my light when I was in darkness, but he is gone. Now I am just Moon.
Dusty's POV:
Once we landed Blade insisted on Moon to get her shoulder located back into place, I smiled. She retorted but went back anyway, just to keep Blade happy. I followed her as we went to Maru's hanger, he looked at her once. Suddenly a wrench was thrown at her head, she ducked.
"Do you know how WORRIED I WAS!?" Maru shouted at her, threatening her with another wrench, "WHERE WERE YOU?!"
"Cliff. Sunset. Those two words should sum it up," she replied with a roll of her eyes, "I also nearly died, but beyond that we are all fine."
"WHAT?!" he yelled, "YOU ALMOST DIED?!"
"Cliff gave out," she commented, "Then Landside."
"Geez, going to get us killed one day," Maru muttered, "Did you hurt yourself?"
"Maybe," she casually shrugged then grimace, I forgot about her shoulder for a second. I was too slow, if I was quicker she would be fine. No injury.
"I am seriously going to have to duct tape you to a chair," Maru growled as he checked Moon over, "Well your shoulder is dislocated, I will have to put it back in."
"Go ahead, I don't care," she murmured, Maru nodded and with a swift movement pulled her shoulder back in place. A soft gasp came from her, but other than that it was silent. She smiled, "Thanks Maru, it feels better than new."
Maru smiled at his famous saying, "Well do not do too much damage to it."
"That is impossible for someone like me," she commented with a smirk before heading back towards her hanger. I smiled at her retreating form.
"Thanks for finding her Dusty," Maru thanked me, "She's becoming a bit more adventurous and less talkative to me. It's harder to find her, now that it's Fire Season because i'm busier."
I nodded my head, it made sense, "Do you want me to talk to her sometime?"
"Maybe, but what's strange to me is that she wants to become a human firefighter," he commented to me, my engine sank, "Blade doesn't like it, so he keeps telling her that she's still weak. Yet she's getting better everyday, I'm afraid Blade won't have another excuse in time."
"How about I talk to her about this?" I asked, "Would that be okay with you Maru?"
"Yeah, that would. It would make me feel better," Maru confined to me and only me.
Moon's POV:
I went to my bedroom, sitting down on my bed. I sighed, that pain. It reminded me of...of the bad times. I don't like to remember home, it's worse than this world. This world cares about me, cares about others. While in my world. We, our race, destroys each other. Killing each other inside.
Sadly I tried to help us, rebuild us. To fix our broken heart, but one hole is filled another is torn open. I grabbed my shoulder, as I remembered one time. A memory.
I was back in my world, where two bullies by the names of Angie and Belle were pinning me on a wall. Behind my school, I was a fourth grader against two sixth graders. Our school was jointed with the Middle School, Elementary, and High School.
We were a small community, like Propwash. I remembered it clearly now. Belle was the leader and Angie was her sidekick. Belle punched me in the face, "Say that again, I dare you!"
"What? Say this? That you are nothing to me, I never want to be your friend. I want a better friend that ain't two face. I true friend stands up for one another in this stupid world!" I snapped, Angie looked between me and Belle. A look of complete confusion.
"She's right," I heard Andy told the girls, "A true friend stands up for what they believe in, they care for one another. They are your third party, they defend you and support you when everyone tells you are wrong. When you are right, they are by your side. They are the best thing in the world. Now, are you going to destroy someone that is my true friend?"
They shook their heads and ran. Everyone knew, that he loves me. Like a little sister and no one messes with me. Unless they want to be suspended. Everyone knew that I was a homeless girl since I was five.
"That's shoulder looks like a piece of shriveled up metal," he gripped my shoulder and popped it back. I screamed and cried in pain but Andy hugged me and soothed me. My tears stopped, and I looked up at him. He was my hero that day.
I cried at the memory. Andy was the truest friend in my life, and he will alway be. Then I heard the door ring, "Come in."
Dipper came through the door, quickly closing it seeing my face, "What is wrong, Lil' sis?"
"Nothing," I replied wiping away a stray tear, "Just a memory."
"Wanna talk about it?" she asked looking at me with the slightest hint of compassion.
"It was about a true friend I had," I replied, "His name was Andy, he was a girl's dream man. Smart, Handsome, a Quarterback, and hardworking. He cared about me though, we were best friends. I miss him, but he fulfilled his promise like I said before."
"Wow, I understand now slightly," she murmured, "Do you miss your old life?"
"No," I growled, "Though I miss the friends I made. I made a lot more enemies. They are probably rejoicing i'm gone. They hurt me, destroyed me. Andy was the only one that took care of me. Fix me."
"They deserve punishment, Fate comes around to bite people in the butt," Dipper looked at me as I turned, "I want to talk to you, Moon. About Dusty…"
"What about him?" I asked, "He's nice and humble."
"Do you think of him as handsome?" she asked blushing, I laughed, "What?"
"Dipper, at first I thought you are a crazy fangirl. Yet actually you are more of a little sister to Dusty," I commented, "Do you really think you love him?"
"No, I don't," she commented, "Is that what you thought, before we met?"
"A bit," I replied looking away as she chuckled, "He is humble and kind. Handsome as any plane could be, and he is very….romantic to be around."
"What do you mean by romantic?" Dipper smirked as I blushed a deeper red than Crimson red, "Do you like him, hmm?"
"I-I-I don't know what you are talking about!" I exclaimed, "What about your relationship with Dusty?"
"I just wanted to be friends, I never had what was your word, 'romantic' feelings for Dusty," she told me smiling as I blushed again, "Why do you like him?"
"He's kind, compassionate, handsome, humble, sweet, adventurous, adaptable, considerate, courageous, generous, passionate over racing and firefighting is amazing, reliable, sincere, sympathetic, and he's not all that. He's Dusty," I replied looking away dreaming of me and Dusty. Us flying, racing, firefighting-oh GOD! I told this all to DIPPER, I saw her smirk, "Uh-please I beg of you Dipper don't tell this to Dusty?!"
"What about Dusty?" Dipper asked cluelessly, "I didn't here anything about your sweet dreamy Dusty and about what-"
"DIPPER!" I hollered, "DO NOT TELL ANYONE ABOUT OUR DISCUSSION OR YOU'LL FEEL MY FURY!"
"Got to go, I promise I'll not tell anyone," Dipper replied quickly, I sighed and nodded, when she left she called out, "DYNAMITE I FOUND OUT ABOUT-"
"DIPPER!" I screamed, I bolted out and scream, "YOU ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THAT!"
I started to chase Dipper around and boy, while she's a plane I was on her tail the whole entire time. Dusty came out and looked at me, I almost blush but my fury at Dipper controlled my body.
Blade came out and looked at me then Dipper. Then smiled, "Dipper, what did you do?"
"I can't tell or else she'll kill me!" Dipper screamed then I stopped.
"YOU BETTER!" I yelled and with a blush creeping up on my cheeks.
Well, what else can happen. Well, it happen, "Hey Moon?"
Dusty.
SHIT!
