(A/N: Bah! Sorry! I've been busy. With a friend and all. Also trying to start up my own buisness with said friend, not going to well due to it being illegal and not having any money but I've been watching Pineaple Express evey day and also been reading a bit of Harry Potter fan fiction and THAT my dear readers...is why I haven't posted in a while. Er, I REALLY want to promise that I'll get a bunch of chapters up but as of right now this is what I have. XP Working on the coming up chapters though! I've got a billion great ideas that are sure to thrill/shock/surprise/and amuse you. So don't give up on me! I'm mostly being fueled by an off brand of called and Tylenol so don't give me a hard time. Aha. Uh, go and listen to Anyone by Moving Units. Fantastic song! Enjoy the chapter!)

Chapter 11 (Know What to Say)

(Sky's P.O.V)

After I'd given her my sarcastic answer about being "fantastic", Bailey gave me a slap on the arm, the scarred one may I add, and huffed. Normally she'd have screamed bloody murder and/or punched me but she was being a lot more reserved then she use to be. Sure, I'm still soar about the whole, "Sorry but I'm handing you over to Murdoc and turning my back so as not to witness any injuries sustained to you or 2-D" thing but I have to admit she's somehow more...mature...or less angry really. I think I can thank both France and her love for Murdoc for that.

When the lift stops and the doors open with a dull ring, Bailey leads me out and the little asian man yells, "The lift boss! The lift!" Bailey glares at him half heartedly and the asian man just keeps smiling. As she shoves open the door he waves at me and I crack a smile, waving back. I'm pretty sure those were the only three words he knew in English, the lift boss, but I don't get a chance to test my theory because Bailey clears her throat and motions me outside. The lift lets out another dull ding but I ignore it and follow her.

(2-D's P.O.V)

The doors to the lift creak open and I step out cautiously, the asian man in the white suit just looks at me. I wrinkle my nose and scratch the back of my head nevously. "Uh, 'ave you seen-" Before I get the chance to finish what I was saying, which was going to be "Have you seen a red head?", he points to the slightly open metal door. Sucking in my bottom lip, I nod. "Fanks?" He just keeps smiling.

Slightly creeped out I go over to the door and peek around it. Bailey had her back against the railing, looking over at Sky who was leaning over it, smoking another ciggarette.

" 'ow ah you an' two-dent's?" Bailey asks casually. Sky tilts her head a bit and looks at her out of the corner of her eye. "Good. I see you an' Murdoc ah gettin' along well." She replies in monotone, turning back to fact the ocean, blowing out a trail of smoke.

Bailey sighs, scratching at the scar on her jaw. "Listen Sky...'m sorry. I really wish ya knew 'ow sorry I am. If you an' 2-D wos in my situation you'd see I didn' wanna do tha' to ya." She says. I look behind me nervously to make sure no ones coming and go back to watching Bailey and Sky. Which, now that I think about it, is a little weird. I'm only doing it for Sky's safety though. It actually does make sense...kind of.

Flicking ashes from her ciggarette, Sky takes another drag and looks over at Bailey. " I wanna fo'give you." She says. "You' my bes' frien'!...Bu' 'm afraid if I do...you'll jus'...turn aroun' an' do somefin like tha' again." Bailey's expression changes to something I can only describe as regret and anger. She looks like she wants to lash out and scream but she only nods in response. "I-I actually ca'e about Murdoc...he's no' jus' anotha' fuck. I ca'e about you too. I don' wanna choose between tha two of you. I CAN' choose between tha two of you." She says.

Sky raises an eyebrow and makes a face that makes me wanna laugh. Unfortunatly, I actually let out a little chuckle and Bailey's head snaps in my direction. I quickly hide behind the door and let out a quiet sigh. Sky's voice is slightly muffled by the door but I still catch everything she says. " Can' choose? Obviously ya already did. Cause if ya chose me then Dee an' I wouldn' be 'ere." I cautiously peek back around the door to find Sky with her side to the railing and Bailey facing her with her arms crossed. They stare at eachother for a long time but finally Bailey speaks. "...you've got me thea...bu' I didn' do it on pu'pose." She mumbles with remorse. "I jus'...I jus' don' wanna lose ya Sky...you' my bes' frien' too."

Leaning my back against the door I slide down it and stare at the floor. I can't believe what I was hearing. At one point Bailey really started to remind me of Paula and how she cheated on me with Murdoc. Now though, with her apology to Sky and all, I was seeing her in a new light. Sure, she ain't no saint but she wasn't exactly the spawn of Satan I thought she was before either.

(Sky's P.O.V)

I was really starting to feel like a chain smoker now because I tap out another ciggarette from the box and stick it to my lips, lighting it with the lighter Bailey handed me before we got to talking. I wasn't a cold hearted person, anyone that knew me knew I wasn't but I really don't want to regret forgiving her...I don't want to lose her either.

Exhailing a deep amount of smoke I look up towards the setting sky and close my eyes. "Bailey..." I begin, "I...I'll fo'give you. Bu' 'm no' fo'given Murdoc."

A sudden scream makes me open my eyes.

2-D comes running from behind the door followed by the android. I hated that thing with a passion. It must hate me back because after I smashed it's head in and Murdoc repaired it, it lost the ability to speak. Now all it can do is beep and make that horrible cackling sound.

2-D runs up to me and grabs my arm, frightened. Bailey, for once, steps in front of the android and starts to scream at it, "Piss of ya lil' fuck!" It stops and glares at her then at 2-D and lastly at me. It's eye linger on me the longest though until Bailey yells at it again. "I SAID fuck off!" It's nostrils flare as it turns around an storms back inside.

Wrapping his arm around my waist, 2-D gives me a relieved smile. "You alrigh'?" He asks. I nod and smile back. "Yeah. You?" He nods in reply. Bailey turns towards us and puts her hips, raising an eyebrow. "Wot'd you do to it?" She asks 2-D. His eyes go wide as a coarse look falls across his face. "Well...I wosn' doin' anyfing to it. I wos jus' sittin' thea," He points to the door. "An' then it came ou' of tha lift an' chased me."

Bailey opens her mouth to ask him something else but shakes her head instead. " 'm goin' back up. Don' be ou' 'ere fo' long, you know Murdoc'll get mad." She says, heading for the door. Flases of our last escape attempt go threw my head but I push them aside.

"So you an' Bailey made up?" 2-D asks, rubbing his nose against mine. I grin at his eskimo kisses and nod. "Tha's good, 'm 'appy fo' ya." He says warmly, leaning down to kiss me. I close my eyes and wrap my arms around his neck, smiling against his lips. Things were sure to get far better.
