The walk back to Blue base was quiet. Kia had decided to go back alone. Well, she had tried to! Walking beside her was Dusty, or Sarge as she had finally decided to call him. If he wanted to act like their past had never happened, then so be it. "You know, this silence is killing me!" X said appearing on her helmet screen. Kia ignored the fussing AI.

As they made it to the top of the border hill, Kia spotted the Blue base. A smile appeared on her face. "Thank-you for the escort, sir." Kia said, not facing the older red. Sarge grunted his OK, as he turned around and made his way back to Red base. Kia sighed, shaking her head. 'Asshole!' She thought, as she made her way towards the base.

"KIA!" Kia had no time to react as the armored Caboose rammed into her, knocking her to the ground. "Caboose!" Kia wheezed, as Caboose jumped up and down from excitement. "Kia's back! Kia's back!" Caboose cheered as Doc ran over to them. "Kia! You ok?" Doc asked, as she got up from the ground. Kia nodded. "I'm fine!" She croaked. Caboose had hit her with enough force to knock the wind right out of her. Caboose suddenly pulled Kia into a vice grip hug! "Kia! I missed you!" Caboose said. "Church and Tucker missed you as well! But, I missed you more." Caboose said, releasing Kia from the hug.

"I missed you too Caboose" Kia gasped. 'Damn! How the hell is he that strong!" Kia thought as Doc patted her on the back, trying to help her breath. "Thanks Doc!" Kia said, as she took a deep ragged breath, and grabbed her duffel bag off the ground. "No problem!" Doc said as they walked back to the base. Caboose ran ahead of them. "Doc. As soon as I put my stuff away, Ill take my physical." Kia said. Doc nodded. "Alright. Ill be in the med bay!" Doc said, heading inside, followed by Kia.

"Caboose! Stop jumping on the Damn sofa!" Kia heard Church scream as she rounded the corner to the living room. "But Church! Kia's back!" Caboose whinned, as he stepped off the sofa, pointing to Kia. Church turned to where Caboose was pointing. "Kia? Your back already?" Church asked, removing his helment. Kia did the same. "Yeah. I needed to get away from the reds." Kia said. Church nodded.

"Mama!" Kia heard behind her. "Hi Junior!" Kia cooed as she turned to face Tucker, who was holding Junior. Junior jumped from Tuckers hold, and latched onto Kia. Kia laughed. "I missed you too Junior! Were you good?" Kia asked, earning a giggled blarg, before he began to glow! "Ah!" Kia exclaimed, turning away from the brightness. When the light dimmed, Kia felt that Junior felt different. Kia turned to stare into a pair Cyan-green eyes. "Ju-Junior!" Kia exclaimed! Junior no longer looked like his alien self. He now looked like a smaller form of Tucker! The only difference was the eyes, the Cyan highlights in his hair, and small fangs graced his teeth.

"Oh my gosh!" Kia whispered, turning to Tucker, who was grinning. "Has he always been able to do that?" Kia asked, as Junior giggled in her arms, pulling lightly at her bangs. "No. He learned how to do it yesterday!" Tucker said, as Kia bounced Junior up and down on her stomach, as she took a seat on the sofa. "Wow...this is some kid you've got Tucker!" Kia said, as she sat Junior down. Tucker gave a proud smile, as he watched Junior waddle around the room.

Kia stood from her spot on the sofa and stretched! "Well..I better go meet Doc. He needs to give me a physical." Kia said, ruffling Juniors head, before walking towards the med bay. Tucker watched her walk away. "Man! Doc gets all the luck!" Tucker exclaimed, slumping his shoulders. Junior cocked his head to the side and giggled.

Church growled, and shook his head.
