Hope you enjoy this chapter!

A few months later…

"North! Get your ass back here right now!" I screamed at the purple Freelancer as I chased him down the halls.

"Never!" Man was he going to pay for this. He had stolen my helmet and run off with it, just before I was scheduled to have a training session. Yup, this deserved serious pay-back.

"Rho, are there any corridors that would help me gain on him?"

"Turn left… Now!" I scooted around the corner and sprinted down the hall, awaiting Rho's next directions. "Ok, right at this next corner." I grinned. Gotcha. I turned the corner and ran straight into something very solid… someone very solid. Maine.

"Oof!" I landed on my butt at his feet. God. How embarrassing. I looked up and saw that he was offering me a hand up. I smiled and let him pull me to my feet. "Sorry about that Maine."

"That's alright." (For some unknown reason I understood his growls and hisses) I blushed a bit and turned around to see a very amused North. I glared at him and snatched my helmet back.

"Agent Kansas please report to the training room floor."

"Yeah, I'm on my way FILSS." I gave North one last glare and jogged off to start my training session.

"Round begins in three… two… one… fight." I was versing Wash in a round of lock-down paint. He had already beaten me once and I wasn't going to let it happen again. I ran from pillar to pillar, sometimes cloaked and sometimes not, so that Wash would be confused as to where I was. I leapt up on top of the pillar I was currently behind and spotted Wash on the other side. That was close. I swiftly jumped down and shot him in the head. "Round complete. Point to Agent Kansas." I skipped back to my side of the arena and reloaded my pistol. "Round begins in three… two… one… fight." I decided I would try a different tactic this time and sprinted straight to where Wash was hiding. I took a running leap and flew up onto his pillar. Unfortunately he had seen me coming and had the same idea. We collided mid-air and both of us toppled off. Not missing a beat I got back up and shot Wash while he was still down. "Round complete. Point to Agent Kansas. Agent Kansas wins." I grinned.

"Thanks FILSS!" I began to walk away when Wash called after me.

"Aren't you going to help me up?" I blushed.

"Sorry." I grabbed his hand and pulled him to his feet. I blushed furiously when instead of letting go, he pulled me closer.

"Good job, Agent Kansas." I didn't think I could get any redder, but apparently I could. Thank god for helmets. I ducked my head and mumbled thanks. I began to walk away when I realised I was still holding Wash's hand. He chuckled and let go. "See you round." I nodded and watched him walk away. Why did I always have to make such a fool of myself!

"Don't worry Kansas. It's not like he hates you or anything. Now let's go get some food."

"Thanks Rho. I could do with some food."

"Hey guys."

"Kansas! Nice to see you! Wash is still grumbling about how you kicked his ass out there." I blushed.

"He won the first round."

"Yea but you let him do that. Get his hopes up so he'll let his guard down… That was your tactic right?" I laughed and shook my head.

"No York. That was not my tactic… but thanks for suggesting it."

"Glad I could help."

I took a bite out of my apple and looked round the table. Only York, Maine and I were there. Speaking of Maine…

"Hey Maine, sorry about earlier. You know, in the hall."

"Don't worry about it. I'm fine. You did well out there this morning. That cloaking tactic was really smart." I grinned, proud of myself.

"Yea I came up with that a while ago. But I haven't had a chance to use it until today."

"We should have a match." At that, I almost choked on the bite of apple in my mouth.

"What? It would be pretty even." After swallowing, I burst into fits of laughter.

"You'd crush me!" I managed to get out between fits of giggles. Maine just snorted.

"What the hell was all that about?" I looked at York, momentarily confused and then realised. He can't understand Maine.

"Maine reckons I have a chance at beating him in a fight." York grinned.

"No offence mate, but she'd beat you easy peasy. She ain't number three for nothing." I blushed and opened my mouth to say something but came up blank. "See, even you can't deny it." I glared at York before stalking out of the cafeteria.

So, another chapter! I do hope you all enjoyed it! Remember to review and let me know what you think!
