A/N: Ok….first, a big thanks to all who reviewed BD and to my beta readers, Prince Drake and Spirit Fox. Also, If you haven't figured it out by now, 2 years have passed, making Jaime 17 and Vega 15 (I'm guessing their ages from the show) Some language and angst in this chapter. Oh, and I'm also taking requests...any couples in any of the following anime/books: Dragonball Z, Dragonball, Gundam Wing, Sakura Diaries, Oh! My Goddess, Tenchi Muyo, Digimon (any season) and Harry Potter. If you want to see any type of fic with the characters, e-mail me (maxwell@fanfiction.net )or put it in your review. Well, read, review, and enjoy! Constructive criticism welcome!
Battling Destiny
Ch. 2: A Discovery and a Plan
(Present)
Jamie sighed as he sat in the cockpit of the Renos. After tending to his wounds, he had brought Vega back to the Renos to rest peacefully. The sun was setting, spraying brilliant colors of red, purple, and blue across the sparsely cloud dotted sky. He had been thinking on their relationship for a long time, thinking about the invisible canyon between. Time and time again, they had sat and chatted, acting like normal people. And yet, the canyon grew still, the seemingly insurmountable gap between them. He just had to do something...before it became uncrossable.
But what?
Neither one of them were much for affection. It seemed to be a one sided relationship, with Vega dependent on him. Still, something had to be done. He thought long and hard on it, but he drew blanks everywhere. Dusk had just begun to fall when, still thinking, he laid his head back and surrendered himself to sleep.
Unknown to him, however, Vega was awake and pondering on the same subject. He mulled his thoughts over and over again in his head, but came to no conclusion. Finally, he threw back the covers, and padded into the cockpit, where he discovered Jaime sleeping soundly. Grabbing his pack, he silently opened the door and left. He was on his way back to the Backdraft base, when he spotted a sliver of blue out the corner of his eye.
Turning, he heading towards it. About 10 minutes later, he came across a small, secluded area, complete with a mini-waterfall and a cave. He grinned as a plan slowly started to form…quickly committing to memory the location of the cave, he continued to the Backdraft base. When he arrived he went to his room and started to prepare…
Jaime awoke to find the sky dark and the Renos empty except for a note from Vega.
Jaime,
Meet me right here again in one week. I have a few surprises in store for you…
Love ,
Vega
Jaime blinked then reread the note. He grinned as he headed for the Hover-Cargo, knowing his absence wouldn't be missed. The others knew he would go out for long solo flights, so they weren't surprised to see him come in late. He snuck in and glided silently like a ghost to his room, grinning all the way. He could hardly wait for next week…
The days passed by uneventfully, with Leena beating up Bit as usual, and Brad watching in his calm way. The Doc somehow managed to get them in even more debt, which resulting in them all going out trying to make money…and before Jaime knew it, a week had passed.
He hopped in the Renos and took off toward the site…
(At the Backdraft Base)
Vega snuck out early from the Backdraft Base with ease, carrying several packages, and headed directly for their rendezvous spot, getting there in record time. Had he not been in such a hurry, he might have noticed the eyes staring with hatred from the shadows watching, and waiting…
He quickly set everything up: the make-shift bed in the small cave, the blanket by the waterfall, the and other various things. When he was finished he took it all in and thought 'Well, the whole thing dosen't exactly scream "planned first time love-making", but it'll do…besides he thought slyly I'm going for the direct approach…'
Vega grinned.
A/N: Oh, I'm mean aren't I? Sorry about the length of this one and the time it took me to get it out…I promise future ones will be longer and come out faster…What will happen if Jaime and Vega are found out? Who is the person who lurks in the shadows of the Backdraft? How much does everyone really know? The plot thickens next chapter! (lemon ahead!)
