Thomas was close real close Alease could feel is breath on her face. Moving a strand of hair out of the way Thomas placed a sweet kiss upon her lips. Alease let Thomas continue as his hands moved gently down her waist and settled on her bottom. She then followed by moving a hand through his hair and one staying on his chest. Thomas never thinking a day like this would come pulled Alease closer to him deepening the kiss making both their bodies touch. He liked the feeling of her body against his. Thomas knew now that he had become a man, because he was no longer afraid of women. The two stopped when they heard Van and Fiona coming towards them with Zeke.
"Oh, Thomas and Alease you two ready to go and find those mercenaries?" asked Fiona.
Alease and Thomas both nodded in agreement and brushed past one another to their zoids. As the three zoids traveled to Red River base where their pilots were to get another briefing on the mercenaries location Van was surprised to see the Dibison staying behind with the Zaber Fang, because he knew Thomas being ignorant that he was would be up front leading them both.
"Fiona? Don't you think its strange that Thomas our so-called leader isn't leading us back to base?" asked Van.
"No Van, I think Thomas has a kind heart and he knew Alease was upset and maybe wanted to be near her so she'd have someone to talk to." Replied Fiona.
"But why not us? We're her friends." Said Van.
"Well maybe Thomas knows how she feels being left alone in the world without her brother, just as he feels with Karl being too busy with his job as a Major and has no time for him as a brother." Replied Fiona.
"Oh well just because you and Alease get along with him doesn't mean I will." Van said while looking at his screen showing the other two zoids. "I don't trust him."
While traveling behind the Blade Liger Alease and Thomas had a conversation of their own over COM-link.
"So why did your organoid attack me?" asked Thomas.
"Well she doesn't take too kindly to strangers and she was protecting me." Replied Alease.
"Where did you find her?"
"I found her at some old ruins, well no actually my zoid did, he brought me to the ruins." Said Alease.
Thomas then looked at the Silver Zaber Fang walking next to him it was clear that Alease knew more to a zoid then just battling.
"The war was still raging between the Empire and Republic when I met your brother Thomas two years ago." Said Alease.
"Oh, Karl never told me anything about you, he tends to keep his life private." Said Thomas.
Alease continued to tell Thomas the story about how she, Van, Fiona, Zeke, Storm, and Karl along with the help of Prince Rudolph and the Republican Army defeated Prozen and the Deathsaur leaving out the details of how she and Karl had love for one another at that time. She wasn't sure if that love still existed, but she had a feeling deep down that Karl still loves her.
Random lyrics I love this song by the Dixie Chicks "Not Ready To Make Nice"
Forgive, sounds good.
Forget,
I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm
still waiting
I'm through, with doubt,
There's nothing
left for me to figure out,
I've paid a price, and i'll keep
paying
I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back
down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go
round and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I
probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't
bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
I know
you said
Why can't you just get over it,
It turned my whole
world around
and i kind of like it
I made by bed, and I
sleep like a baby,
With no regrets and I don't mind saying,
It's
a sad sad story
That a mother will teach her daughter
that
she ought to hate a perfect stranger.
And how in the world
Can
the words that I said
Send somebody so over the edge
That
they'd write me a letter
Saying that I better shut up and sing
Or my life will be over
I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm
not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't
have time
To go round and round and round
It's too late to
make it right
I probably wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as
hell
Can't bring myself to do what it is
You think I should
I'm not ready to make nice,
I'm not ready to back down,
I'm still mad as hell
And I don't have time
To go round
and round and round
It's too late to make it right
I probably
wouldn't if I could
Cause I'm mad as hell
Can't bring myself
to do what it is
You think I should
Forgive, sounds good.
Forget, I'm not sure I could.
They say time heals everything,
But I'm still waiting
