The next day the team headed out again to find the pod.
- If we could get an airhead view of this place it would make this mission easier for us all, Ira said looking at a high summit.
- We are not climbing that, it's too cold up there, Lucy said seeing the clouds on the summit.
- Got any other ideas, Antartica is huge, it dwarfs the Sahara desert, Ira said in a irritated tone that started to brew up a fight.
- Why shoudn't I hit you, she said with gritted teeth.
- Because if you do that you will extremely unpopular with us all, Ira said with a menacing voice. At that point Lucy just turned towards a valley and walked off, alone.
- I hate you! She shouted with her back turned to him and tears swelling in her eyes.
- Walk away! That's what you always do you sulky bitch! Ira yelled back that made Lucy run of shame. She was crying hard and her eyes where cold, she though about calling Vallia but decided she needed some time alone. She found a small cave and sat down before trying to calm her tears.
- Where are the rest of the gang? A familiar voice said.
- Climbing a mountain probably, Lucy said pointing to the collosal peak.
- We need to get them back down here NOW, Vallia said looking at the mountain.
- Why? Lucy asked confused.
- There is going to be a storm, a hard storm.
- Well I 'm NOT going up there! Lucy shouted at Vallia in tears who put her ears back and snarled:
- If you don't go up that mountain your friends are going to die, Vallia said before roaring into the mountain range, a reply came before a beautiful gold and white dragon landed in the cave mouth.
- I've had a fight with Ira, he called me a bitch and probably hates me now, Lucy finally admitted.
- If you don't come they will consider you as one, the dragon said showing her teeth.
- Snow flake is right Lucy, you can't let your friends down, Vallia growled at Lucy and snarled again.
- Fine, two against one isn't a fair fight anyway, she said looking at them both before mounting on snow flake. She climbed to the summit in twenty minutes with a freezing Lucy on her back. They found the team huddling behind a rock trying to shelter from to winds. They looked in shock as a huge dragon landed in front of them.
- Climb on! Lucy shouted with her arm in front of her face. At that point the team just climbed on and tried to endure the winds. After about ten minutes they landed in the cave mouth next to Vallia.
- Are you all alright? Valia asked, Harry and Wayne looked at each other with wide eyes.
- Sorry to scare you guys but this is Vallia, she got us out of the canyon, Ira said understanding the fear.
- I'll ask again, is everyone OK? She asked slightly irritated and the only replies where nods.
- I think you should talk to Lucy Ira, snow flake whispered to him pointing at her. She was in a small corner crying silently, Ira sighed sadly and walked over to her.
- I'm sorry I insulted you Lutenent I was being stupid, Ira apologized to her.
- You have every right to call me a bitch Ira, if it wasn't for Vallia and snow flake you would have died up there. I tried to wuss out of it. I'm such a cowardly bitch, she said still crying hard. Ira put two fingers under her chin like the first time before telling her:
- To yourself you might be a bitch or a coward, but to me you are the most beautifully attractive girl on the inside and the outside on the face of this planet, Ira said looking into her emerald eyes and stroking her hair.
- Thank you, Lucy said wiping away her tears.
- Lutenen- he was cut off when Lucy put a finger on his lip.
- YOU and only you can call me Lucy, she said smiling at him.
- Lucy, you can call yourself anything you want, but I'll always love you, he said smiling and wiping the rest of her tears away.
- Oh Ira..I'm...I'm flattered, she said not being able to find many words. Instead she pulled him into a passionate kiss, the others watched them before Harry threw a snow ball at them and they said together:
- Get a room! Making the couple blush.
- Alright, bed time you lot, Vallia said still chuckling.
- Good night then.
- Oh, and no funny business you two, Lucy gasped in annoyance and Ira threw a snow ball at her face that made her growl
- And no comment snowball, he said to snow flake who whiped her tail and hissed at him. Lucy smile and shook her head a little at her soon-to-be boyfriend.
- Lucy?
- Yeah...
- Umm... will you be my girlfriend? Ira whispered to her ear.
- I WILL be your girlfriend if you are MY boyfriend, Lucy whispered with a seductive smile on her face.
- It's a deal, Ira said silently chuckling.
- Let's try to get some sleep now, Lucy said lying down with her hands on his chest and her face buried into his neck. Ira grabbed her slim waist and pulled her closer to him and decided that getting some sleep was a good idea, he looked at the delicate and beautiful creature pressed against him he had butterflies in his stomach. He just couldn't believe he had told her how he felt or how beautiful she was.
