She stood there as the machine began to whirl around with its digital claws- thought up and invented from yours truely. That's why she hated it. The claws sliced effortlessly through the small figure of her classmate, one who had recently made fun of the robot. The blood and guts splattered all over. The previously blinding white walls turned into a mixture of a crimson red and orange, the students, with their mouth frozen in an open position, were doused with the red, all the projects, with their creativity and hopes, were drowned in the sea of red that SHE let happen.

Who knew one little body had so much liquid to give.

She jolted up from the hard, but strangely comfortable, wood, almost banging her head into the coffe table fashioned out of a bullymongs bone and pelt. Even in this freezing cold, she was sweating buckets. Her clothes were bound to stink. Sucks that they can't wash it out.

Her loud gasping and sputtering alerted a cautious soldier, as he jumped off the roof and ran inside, the girl was holding a hand up against her sweaty head, trying to control her breath.

The soldiers heavy footsteps knocked the girl out of her small trance-like state, and she looked up at the alert man, who looked around the room with his new revolver before looking down at the girl who looked up at him like a frightened puppy. Adorable, he thought as he crouched down, watching the girl follow his every move with a fixated stare.

"What happened?"

Gaige has never seen him look so worried and concerned. It actually made her a little happy. Whatever bad feelings she had were slowly melting away.

"Oh, n-nothing." Gaige lied, "It's just being on this planet and everything, it's kind of overwhelming." She scratched the back of her head.

The soldier gazed tiredly into the kid's eyes, she was currently trying to avoid eye contact, sweating profusely, and wore a forced smile. She was obviously lying.

The soldier sighed as he thought of his next move to try to comfort her. After a few milliseconds of thinking, he came up with a brilliant idea that was wort it's weight in gold...not really.

"C'mon." The soldier said before standing up and walking outside again, "This might clear your mind."

The girl was confused, but still got up to follow, making sure that she brought a blanket with her as she wrapped it around her shoulders and felt it drape down far past her feet. She made her way outside, the blanket making streaks in the snow ridden floor, past the passed out gunzerker holding a beer bottle, past the psycho who was cradling his axe dangerously close, and past the siren who was currently wrapped up in a burrito-type way, her perfect, blessed face facing towards the wall. Gaige narrowed her eyes and continued forward, not noticing that the assassin was no where to been seen.

The soldier was waiting for the kid outside, looking at the snow fall softly to the frozen ground. "You know, you walk incredibly slow." He tiredly grinned as he continued to walk to the left, circling Hammerlock's shack-like house. He continued walking before he stopped at the vending machine that accompanied the house and looked up. He looked down at his before softly pushing his legs against the ground, which resulted in a giant leap up to the top of the vending machine, amazing the robotic teen.

The girl's mouth was wide open, "Dude, are you already bionic?" She muttered, flabbergasted.

The soldier laughed, "Have you seriously not noticed?" He questioned, a smile breaking out on his face.

"Noticed what?"

"The gravity; it's different from regular planets."

The girl's eyes were wide open. "I thought that was just me..."

"Jeez kid, you have a whole lot to learn." The soldier jokingly shook his head and crossed his arms.

"I'll teach you later, just jump up here." The soldier jumped down onto the vending machine and crouch to let one of his hands dangle from the edge, "I know how difficult is it to get used to the gravity so we'll start slow: just jump up and grab my hand."

The girl looked down at her hand periodically before looking up to the soldier's hand, an obvious look of nervousness in her eyes.

"It's all in the knees." The soldier advised

The girl nodded her head silently before crouching down, trying to get all the power in the knees and extended her legs, suddenly feeling disoriented at how weightless she felt. Thankfully, she was still able to grab the soldier's hand, before groggily pulling herself up, letting herself fall into the blanket of snow, letting it engulf her.

"That was awesome, but I r-regret it." She said through pants, trying to get the sick feeling out of her stomach. She really wasn't expecting to be that weightless.

"C'mon, kid. If you want to the badass I know you can be you should be able to jump around while backhanding bandits in the face." The soldier grinned, trying to give his "wise" words of advice to his newest pupil. "But I didn't bring you here so you could lie on the vending machine, we still have to get to the roof."

"A-Alright." The girl turned to her side then onto her stomach, forcing herself up with her jelly like arms.

The soldier was looking at the girl with concerned eyes. She really couldn't handle low gravity yet...

The soldier walked towards the girl and stopped a feet away from her, turned around and crouched down,holding his hands out from his back, "Get on." He said as he motioned his head towards his back.

The girl, still panting, had a confused look on her face as she looked at her back and then realized what he meant, "A p-piggy back ride? What am I, 2?"

"I mean, if you want to jump up to the roof, you're more than welcome to." The soldier grinned as he slowly began to get up before he was forced back down by a small weight that held tight around his shoulders and rested it's head on his back.

She sighed, "Fine."

The soldier chuckled, "I knew you couldn't resist me." He felt her tense up before she used one of her hands to hit his back.

"Oww, that was the metal one!" He feigned injury.

"Just shut up and jump up there, dumbass." She scoffed into his back, a small smile hidden by his broad shoulders.

"Haha," he warmly chuckled as he slightly shook is head," Alright, hold on!"

He tightened his hold on the girl's legs and used all the force in his legs to send him in the air, surprisingly, he went higher than expected. The girl was holding on much tighter than before, a small squeaking sound was heard by the soldier, who just laughed as his gracefully landed on the snow-covered roof.

"Alright, we're here." He announced, "You can stop choking me now." He said as he slightly shook her around.

She got off groggily, before landing in the snow and murmuring, "Sweet, solid ground." She wrapped her blanket tighter around her, closing her eyes and trying to fall asleep.

"Hey, are you actually trying to fall asleep in some dirty snow?" The soldier grinned, "C'mon, we've come this far, you might at least see what I wanted to show you."

After a couple seconds of silence, she delicately arose and sat with her legs crossed, both of her eyes closed, her head facing the ground. "Alright, but if it's dumb, I'm going back to my floor-bed."

"Trust me. This isn't dumb."
