No One's POV

Aria walked into the private training room where the upper command of the Nova Corps trained, her classes finished for the day to see several Centurions, the highest level of command in the Nova Corps, other than Nova Prime, sparring with one another, other officers scattered around the room.

"Hello Grandmother…. I don't suppose I can talk you out of this." Aria walks up to her grandmother who is talking with one of her assistants.

"Hello Aria." Irani greets her granddaughter, looking up from her holopad she had been carefully reviewing while waiting for the collaboration match between the Nova Corps and Starforce members. "You will learn, Aria. That opportunities like this, do not occur often." Irani tells her granddaughter.

"And you want a chance to potentially watch any new suitor I may have get his ass handed to him by your own Nova Corps commanders…" Aria deadpans.

"Well… I won't deny that's a nice thought." Irani offers back with a shrewd smile and a twinkle in her eye.

"Between you and father…" Aria sighs before giving her grandmother a slight salute and walking away to settle herself in a seat.

"Aria." Yon-Rogg finds his bloodmate sitting on the bleachers when he walks in with several Starforce members, Aria flipping through her own holopad and studying as she herself waits.

"Why hello there, Solider Boy." Aria looks up from her work.

"It appears you were correct earlier about your grandmother." Yon-Rogg tells his mate.

"Don't you know? I'm always right." Aria grins playfully at Yon-Rogg. "And, aren't you supposed to be getting ready?"

"I wished to say hello first." Yon-Rogg answers as he stands before Aria, his hands folded behind him in a military stance.

"That's very logical of you." Aria answers back, rolling her eyes playfully.

"May I kiss you, Aria?" Yon-Rogg asks.

"Hmm… A kiss…" Aria hums thoughtfully as if thinking about it. "How about this… You can have a kiss… But… Only if you win, Solider Boy." Aria whispers, leaning in close to Yon-Rogg, her lips inches from his before she pulls away, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes.

Wow! How long has it been on this story!? Too long!
