"Wow, look at that!" Luna said while pointing at Loader Bot break dancing.
"What a waste of a Bot, programming it like that," Mordecai laughed.
They were walking between the booths as Lilith approached them "Hello there, lost couple!" she laughed.
"What do you want, Lil," asked Mordecai.
"I just wanted to-..." but she saw the sniper rifle on Luna's back "How the fuck did you win the Volcano?"
"I did-" but she was cut off by Lilith.
"The thing was supposed to be rigged so nobody can get it. Did you cheat?"
"No! I didn't cheat!" Luna said angry, "Mordecai won it for me."
Lilith looked at Mordecai and Luna could see Lilith wasn't happy with the answer from Luna "So you shot all three piles of cans that were stuck together with one bullet?"
"Everyone keeps forgetting I have a Lyuda." Mordecai smiled.
"And you give the Vulcano to HER? Such a beautiful sniper rifle in the hands of a beginner?" Lilith was pretty angry.
Mordecai smirked "She shoots better than you," he laughed "I've been teaching her to shoot."
Lilith looked at Luna with an angry look "... Your loss." she said to Mordecai and walked away.
"Oh man, what got into her?" Mordecai seemed confused.
"Beats me, but she's right... I don't deserve a sniper rifle like this..." Luna said, looking at the floor.
Mordecai grabbed her shoulders and came closer to her "Now listen to me, chica. I told you I want you to have this sniper rifle. You shot the other eye of the statue like it was nothing. You are getting better and better every day. Never say you don't deserve it. Because I wouldn't just give this baby to anyone. And I gave it to you. Ok?"
Luna blushed, since he was so close to her face with his "O-ok."
Again, so close. A chance to kiss him. But I don't wanna ruin everything.
This time Mordecai was the one who turned away quickly with a bit of a blush "Uhh, sorry bout that."
Luna just smiled without answering him.
"So, Luna..." Mordecai looked at her again, "Wanna get drunk again?"
"Um, I umm... Ye-um..." Luna's mind was going crazy.
"Last time was fun," Mordecai said, then he realised she might think he only mean the sex part "I mean, it's nice talking to you when we're drunk."
"Y-yeah," luna was blushing hard "It's... Nice talking to you too."
"But we're not drinking Rakk today. I got something stronger. Come on, we need to go to the Dust."
"This is the Dust!" Mordecai said while they were standing in the middle of a dessert.
Luna rolled her eyes and said sarcastically "Yeah, I never would have guessed."
"Yeah, quite an obvious name."
"So where are you getting booze in the middle of a desert?" Luna asked.
"I overheard the people in the carnival talking about the caravan delivering some strong booze. We're gonna rob them," Mordecai said, quite excited.
"We're gonna ROB people to get drunk?!" Luna asked.
"Stolen booze is the best booze," Mordecai said and walked to a machin which had a pre recorded message "Catch a riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiide"
Mordecai slicked on the button, selected a few things and a vehicle appeared in front of their eyes.
"Can you drive?" he asked.
"Yeah," she said, looking at the car.
"Great, hop into the driver seat, I'll take the gunner seat," he said, jumping on top of the car and sitting in front of a big machine gun.
"You really think this is a good idea?" she asked.
"Trust me on this," he smiled, "It won't be the first time I do this."
Luna laughed while sitting inside the car "You're horrible."
"You adore me. Now drive!" he smiled.
Yeah, I guess I do.
They were driving around the desert until they saw three cars driving towards them "This is it! Follow the caravan while I blow the other two cars!" Mordecai said, and Luna did as he said. She was driving behind them carefully as Mordecai blew up the two cars.
"What the fuck do you want?!" the driver said while getting out of the caravan "Mordecai, you again?!"
"Yeah, gimme the booze sonofabith!" Mordecai smirked.
The caravan driver looked at Luna "Wait, aren't you a Hyperion employee?"
Luna was surprised "No, why would I work for scums like that?!"
The driver paused for a minute then shook his head "Yeah, I must have mistaken you for someone else." then he looked back at Mordecai who was pointing his sniper rifle in his face "Just get the booze and get out."
Mordecai grabbed a few bottles, handed Luna a few and they drove off.
"Ok, we got the booze. Time to get back and get wasted!" Mordecai said happily, but Luna didn't answer. She was worried. "What's wrong?" Mordecai asked.
"What if... What if I really AM a Hyperion employee...? I mean, it would make sense with the memories I got back..." Luna said sadly.
Mordecai sighed "Even if you WERE a Hyperion scum... You're not right now. And I like the Luna you are right now."
"But what if I get a Hyperion personality back?" Luna asked.
Mordecai smiled "You'll still have this personality"
Luna smiled, but she didn't feel like smiling.
Am I a Hyperion? Am I one of those awful people? Am I one of the people I learned to hate so much?!
