Rose: Yes.

Nova: *twitch*

Hell: Now, now don't kill her Nova.

Rose: Now to the story.

Ch. 10 Surprise

"Well excuse me for falling asleep!" Nova yelled at Riddick.

"You should pay more attention so I don't have to relay all of this back to you!" Riddick yelled back.

"I'm sorry for being such a burden to you!" Nova yelled. She walked around a corner and bumped into Dame Vaako.

"Oh, excuse-" Dame Vaako cut herself off when she saw it was Nova. Dame Vaako then, without sparing Nova another glance, switched her full attention to Riddick.

"Lord Riddick, just the person I was looking for." Dame Vaako said, looking at Riddick while successfully ignoring Nova.

"Excuse me;," Nova said with irritation heavy in her voice, " I have to go spare with Hell." Nova said shouldering past Dame Vaako.

(In the Sparing Room)

As Nova was just finishing her archery skills, Hell chose this moment to walk in.

Nova connected with him through their telepathy. Nova glanced over in his direction. Seeing him only relaxed her tense mussels slightly.

'It's getting worse Hell, really. If I did something wrong then, I really have no idea what it is I could have done.' Nova said telepathically. She picked up a sword and started to practice her melay skills with it.

'I thought Riddick told the Necro women to stop harassing you?' Hell responded as he bounded through a series of hoops that had been set up for him.

'He did but, they found a way to make sure he doesn't hear about it.' Nova said. 'I'm not so worried about the Necro women anyway.'

'Why don't you tell him yourself?' Hell said with a sneer, only slightly annoyed.

'I can take care of myself; I just have to be sneaky about it.' Nova put the sword down. 'And I think I know just what to do. See ya later.' She all but sprinted out of the room to Riddick's chamber.

Nova pounded on Riddick's doors until he flung open the doors. He looked like he was going to pound her into the floor.

"What the hel- oh it's just you." Riddick said until he realized it was her.

"Hi, nice to see you too." Nova said, not really taking any offence. "Would you walk with me I want you to see something?"

Riddick blinked, twice. "What is it?"

"Well if you come with me then you'll see." Nova replied.

Riddick looked suspiciously at her for a minute trying to see if he should trust her or not. After a brief pause he agreed, "Fine, but make it quick."

Nova smiled and started to walk off towards the deck of the ship. Riddick walked along beside her. Nova slipped her arm around his, just for the hell of it.

Riddick glanced at her with a strange expression, but keep on walking anyway.

A group of Necro women walked around the corner and gasped in surprise. Most of them just glared at Nova, while the others ignored her and wished Riddick a good afternoon, like most days.

Riddick just grunted in return, not really caring one way or the other.

Riddick and Nova arrived on deck and Riddick unwound his arm from Nova's.

"So what did you want to show me?" Riddick asked.

"This." Nova snapped her fingers and one of the officers started to input a code on the computer.

A 3D image of a plaint appeared in the middle of the room, floating in midair.

"I asked one of your officers to do a little research for me. I asked if he could find any more Furyan survivors in any close galaxy, and this is what he found. This plaint is Furya. Riddick this is our home." Nova said sounding almost giddy.

'Home,' she thought 'It has a nice ring to it.'

"So?" Riddick said with total lack of interest.

"What the hell do you mean?! 'So', what is wrong with you?!" Nova yelled at Riddick.

In the back of the room Dame Vaako was edging out the door while Nova and Riddick went at it. When she finally made it out she all but ran to the Vaako suite.

'Dam, Dam, DAM!' Dame Vaako thought. 'How could this have happened? I should have known that little witch would screw this up. I have to get rid of her but how?!' Dame was pacing in the sitting room now.

Someone coughed and Dame swiveled around to find a middle-aged man and woman sitting on the love couch.

"We," started the man, "may be able to help you."

They smiled at Dame Vaako.

Dame Vaako sat in a chair across from them. "I'm listening."

Rose: Tehe?

Nova: No 'tehe'. You have to apologize to you poor readers!

Rose: I AM SOOOOOO SORRYYYYY! Please don't kill me!

Hell: *bites Rose in the rear *

Riddick: *snicker *
