Chapter 3: Aikka special

Aikka walked slowly and softly through the halls, making sure he wont wake up Canaan or G'dar. When he got outside, he sighed and walked faster again. This time Canaan couldn't wake him up like he always did. God, how he hated it when Canaan suddenly stood next to him, yelling: RISE AND SHINE!

If it didn't was Canaan, Aikka knew that the person who would do it was dead by now. Let's say why. Aikka hated mornings. They were early. And woke people up of peaceful dreams. Ended a wonderful night or yesterday. Or ended your sleep.

And everyone was so grumpy and tired in the morning. Except Eva. The time he knew her, he often saw her leaving notes for him in the morning, while he had to work his sleep out, she was already laughing and running around.

Talking about the devil, he hadn't saw her for 4 days.

Further about mornings. His father got a bit mad when he accidentally threw his dagger to a maid who wanted to wake him up. It was not his fault that she lost her hand! She was not supposed to come in his room! They all knew it now though. Since a while they used armours. Cleaver, isn't it?

But his mother made Canaan to the point that he would learn to get his aggressive behaviour under control. It wasn't always in the morning though. But his friends from his childhood had the same, so no one even worried. But Aikka stood hold on it. And that worried his parents.

Whatever, he didn't had it anymore. Right? He guessed so..

Slowly he sat down on the grass-hill, as he watched the sun coming up. He had saw it allot on Nourasia, but even if it was on a lesser beautiful planet (Cant blame him for thinking it.),it was still truly amazing to see something so small for us, but so big in space, coming up to warm the people up.

Maybe he should start practicing with his arrows. Then he had more free time. After the race, he would be free to walk around again. Then he wont have a race for the next 2 days. That means that he has free tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow he got a race again.

And he still had to practice with G'dar a bit. So yes, it was smart to start with the arrows now.

"You like to ruin more of this planet?" A voice from behind said. It didn't sounded very angry, but not very amused. After his 5th arrow Aikka turned around to see the person who just said it. To his surprises, he couldn't see it's face. Soon he got an answer on his questioned face, as the cape was lifted up of it's face, and dropped down behind it.

Eva stood there, very sarcastic. Though her eyes were not happy, she had a sneaky smile.

Aikka smiled back. "Well, someone has to do it?"

"Oh! You didn't said that!" Eva pretend to be offended.

Aikka now grinned. "I have to practice on something. If you just stand a bit to the left, I can continue.." He said while pointing an arrow on her. Eva quickly jumped to the right. "Don't even dare!" She chuckled.

Aikka smiled at that sound. Again she was so happy in the morning. "Shouldn't you be in your bed?" Ai, that sounded a bit like a parent. Eva seemed to notice, and looked at him like a child. "Sorry daddy, but I couldn't sleep! Cause my job I had to be awake.. 2 hours ago!"

Aikka looked shocked when he noticed that it was only 7 o'clock in the morning. She had to be awake on 5? "What is your job then?" He asked curious.

Eva quickly took a look on a machine on her arm.

"You'll find out soon.. I have to go.. later.." She put her cap on again and run of the hill, to her Rocket-Seat. Eva was a bit smarter then Aikka. He didn't had brought a cape. And it was raining. Like she knew that it was going to rain! When he left it didn't rained. Strange..

Aikka walked into the arena with G'dar after the sign was given that he could come in. Patiently he waited for his opinion to come. "And now, the Earth-Team!" the announcers said. Aikka quickly glanced at the weird machine, which flied with 2.. reactors who were both on one side of the cock pit. The glass that surrounded it was grey, as the machine itself was white, purple and orange, with a small bunny on the right-reactor.. Quit interesting.

The race soon started, and Aikka found it hard to dodge all shots that the gunner of the team gave, but he seemed to make it well. Unfortunately, they dodged his arrows to. Aikka soon found himself in quit danger when he realized he was in a area where he was an easy target, and unfortunately the Earth-team took use of it, as G'dar came out wounded on his leg.

Aikka did noticed that the 'Arrow' as it was called, didn't took any more shots, as it flew right to the end-gate. Few minutes after they landed, G'dar landed to. People cheered. Aikka still looked curious at the cock-pit, and the pilot seemed to know, as the glass disappeared.

Aikka gasped. Eva?

Eva grinned widely at him. "And I thought you were good.." She said playfully, making Aikka grin to. Though it was quit an offending, Aikka understood that she was just bullying him, and he took it happily. Everything better then a silence between them which may be caused from the accident of 4 days ago.

But he also quickly noticed that Eva was really honourable. After the race, Aikka took care of G'dar, while Canaan was again in the room they called here an office. He heard soft knocks on the side of the hangar. "Am I disturbing you?" A soft voice said. Aikka shook his head, to busy to notice who it was. Eva walked over the G'dar, what cased Aikka to fall of shock. "Don't come so close! He doesn't like stra-.." He didn't finished his sentence when he..

..Saw it was Eva.
..Saw G'dar paying no attention to the fallen Prince
..Saw G'dar paying no attention to Eva.
..Purred when Eva petted him.

Unbelievable. Quickly Aikka got to his feet. He felt that G'dar was much more comfortable. Smiling he stood on his normal place again. "I didn't knew you were a pilot."

"I wasn't. I was mechanic there."

"And how come you were flying?"

"I convinced my manager that I could race after Rick's accident."

Aikka remained quiet for a while, and put the last bandage on G'dar's leg. Eva seemed to doubt as she still petted the giant bug.

"Hey.. about your.." She noticed she had no idea how the bug was called. "G'dar." Aikka read her mind. Eva chuckled. "About G'dar.. I'm sorry." She whispered. Aikka smiled. "It's no deal. We could expect it from guns, it was just a miracle how you could dodge all my arrows. I'm not that bad? Am I?" He joked. Eva grinned with her fox-smile. "Well, I got different ideas.." She said raising one eyebrow in a try to look serious. Aikka chuckled now.

"But I got to go.. again.. to the supermarket.. See you tomorrow?"

Aikka nodded. "I hope so."

"Bye!" She waved him out as she run. Aikka slowly waved to. G'dar licked him, and Aikka turned around, petting him.

What is a supermarket? He had read about it.. wasn't it with.. buying food? Hmm.. he had no idea. And he didn't cared. For now maybe. Aagh, stupid mind, stop thinking this nonsense and go to sleep! But he couldn't..

Why couldn't he sleep?

He was very tired, he didn't had anything to do.. didn't felt sorry for anyone, didn't had to say sorry to anyone..

Maybe he has to say sorry to someone. Eva had apologized.. but he didn't. Well, he cant go to her now. He couldn't bare to see her now. What if she has a.. fun night with that 'boyfriend' of hers? Or what if she slams the door in his face cause he woke her up? What if she sleep through the 'doorbell'? Lol, the last one seemed a bit to weird.

Go to sleep. I order you. Aikka's eyes finally seemed to close, as he soon drifted off in another dream. Though it wasn't a nightmare, he also couldn't call it a peaceful dream.. With a sigh he managed to open his eyes again, and it was only 4 hours later then when he fell asleep.

Damn it! He punched with his fist to the bed. But the punch came a bit wrong, and he slammed to the wood that surrounded the bed. Great, now his hand hurts. He really knows to pick it.

With effort he came out of the bed, but dropped himself immediately, so he sat down on the bed now. He grinned when he saw his night-shirt before him. He practically never wore his shirt, only his pants. It was so hot in the night, even here.

And yet he took it with him again.

With his head leaning on his hands he looked around in the room. It was decorated in the Nourasion style, but Aikka could still see some Earth-decorating. Not that he didn't liked it, no, he loved this culture. He didn't understood why.. Maybe it was this planet.. maybe it was Eva..

With a 'plof' he dropped himself fully on the bed again, pulling the sheets closer. Eva.. what was it what he felt for her? He didn't understood. He'd never felt true love, but also never felt just a friendship.

Though he should feel love with his fiancée, who is waiting for him back home, no, he didn't liked her at all. Maybe as a friend, but not more. Almost not a friend. He didn't had friends. Only in his childhood, but he couldn't remember. That is why he is doubting with the feeling of Eva. He didn't felt love or friendship. So he couldn't decide. Though that kiss was rather.. enjoyable.

He got more excited of it, then when he kissed his fiancée, Nola. (Means, honest) He didn't wanted to offend Nola, but he didn't wanted to get married when he was back home. He liked Eva's life-style more. Being free. Walk wherever you want. People say that it is nice to be a royal, to be a king, prince or whatever. But Aikka could advice those people. Don't even dream of it. It's horrible.

Well, for the people who like freedom for even a bit. You will love the style if you are willing to give up your life.

Sure, Aikka would give his life to protect his people, and he wanted to become King to. But he cant even have friends, let alone choose his own Queen.

Eva was his first real friend, who never even tried to be more kind cause he was a prince, and he wanted more friends of that. But he already knew that that wont happen. Maybe Eva would be the only one, but he feared for losing her friendship then. He loved her anyway, as a friend. Maybe more, but he knew he loved her as a friend. He couldn't bare to lose her. That is what every friend thinks, right?

But he gets happy when he sees her, calms down when she touches her, feel his heart melt when he see her smile. Was that suppose to be with friends? God, he repeated the word friends allot...

So far the Aikka special. I'll start the same day with another chapter, but don't yell at me if it is not done today… but there is a chapter coming, you can be sure of it! R&R!!!!!!!!!!
