I heard a shot and I opened my eyes to the the bug dead. Then I looked over to see who had shot it.
"Your going home after this." My brother said.
"Good." I said shakily. He walked over and gave me another gun.
"Hold out until we leave." He said. Then he walked back to Lt. Razak. I started to shoot bugs again. All of a sudden there was a loud noise.
"The queen!" Carl yelled. Everyone threw a grenade. Then 3 plasma bugs shot their plasma up and it flew by everyone. Right then about 300 bugs ran out.
"Crap..." I mumbled. I looked around to see Lt. Razak calling for the ship to come back. Then I saw a bug jump on Doc. I gasped. But lucky for him, Gossard killed it. Bugs started to swarm around everyone. One came really close to me and hit my clasp of bullets out. Carl shot it for me. Then he went back to his bugs. I looked around on the ground for my clasp. I saw it and knelt down to put it in. But I guess I was scared because I couldnt seem to get it in cause I was shaking so badly. I looked up to see bugs getting really close to me. I hurried up. I kept looking up to see them getting closer and closer. Then I finally heard a click as I got it in. Then I looked up in time to see a bug shove its claw into my left side. I cried out in pain and rolled to the ground. It got ready for another strike, and I shot it. Then it fell on me, making its other claw go through my right arm. I screamed. I heard someone yell,
"Trooper down!" I saw everything a blur. Then everything went black.

I opened my eyes. I was in the medical center of the Roughneck base. Doc walked over.
"You okay?" He asked. I nodded. "You know you almost died out there." He added.
"Why does it hurt when I breathe?" I asked.
"One of them punctured your lung." He said, "And nearly broke your elbow, since it went almost all the way through the bone.
"Am I going home?" I asked, wincing as he gave me a shot.
"Probably. Im sorry kid, you are a good fighter, but you arent skilled enough yet." Doc said.
"Well, I got scared out there. There was alot of bugs." I said.
"Yah, maybe you can stay, but someone will need to train you more. Because it wasnt your fault, we didnt know it would be that bad either." He said. Right then my brother walked in.
"Your okay, thank God!" He said. I nodded.
"You know, your really lucky. Normally someone would've died from blows like that. You have alot of endurance, so you can stay." Lt. Razak said, walking in. I let out a sigh of relief. Soon the whole squad came in.
"Your okay, right?" Rico asked. I nodded.
"Good, we need a trooper like you!" Dizzy said. Carl aggreed. So did Gossard. Soon everyone left, but Higgins stayed behind.
"Are you sure your okay?" He asked, looking worried.
"Well, my side hurts like heck, but other than that Im fine." I mumbled.
"I didnt see you get attacked, but I did hear you scream. I feel bad, because I was the one closest to you too." He said.
"Its okay...who said trooper down? And how exactly did I get here?" I asked.
"Rico said trooper down, and the ship came a few minutes after you passed out." He said.
"Who brought me into the ship?" I asked.
"Me." He mumbled.
"But your footage!" I said.
"Its okay, your more important than a stupid story. Anyway, I got alot of it." He said, smiling. I blushed and smiled back. Okay, I have to admit it. He is totally hot, AND nice!
**
A little while later I was walking around the halls. I wanted to see what Higgins was up to, so I went to his room and knocked on the door.
"Hey, are you sure you should be walking around?" He asked, looking worried.
"I feel okay." I mumbled. With that he smiled.
"Oh, hey, wanna have some pizza or something? Cause I got some in here." He said.
"Sure, Im starving!" I exlaimed, following him in. I didnt notice, but my brother had seen me go in his room from around the corner. He glared.
"Your so going down if you even touch my sister, Higgins." He whispered to himself.
Back in Higgins room, we were pigging out on pizza and sharing our most embarrassing stories with each other. Then afterwards we watched a few movies, and before I knew it, I had fallen asleep on his couch. He carried me to sleep on his bed, and he slept on the couch.
**
I opened my eyes slowly, cause I was still really tired. Then I saw I was in Higgins bed, so I immediatly knew I had fallen asleep in his room. I felt so bad, since he was forced to take the couch or the floor. But I walked into the room where we had been eating last night and saw he looked pretty comfortable, so I let out a sigh of relief. Then I saw a tape sitting next to the TV, and it was labled "Last Battle". I thought for a moment and realized that was the battle where I got attacked. I decided I would see how much footage I costed him. I popped in the tape, and sat on the floor. It was on the part right after I was attacked.
"You guys! The trooper thats down is Kam!" Higgins yelled.
"My sister?! Is she dead?" My brother yelled. It had Higgins set down the camrecorder and pick me up. A few seconds later the ship came. Then Carl grabbed the camrecorder and it kinda blanked out for a few seconds. Then he must've set it down sideways, cause thats how everything looked. Crooked. It had Doc run over.
"She isnt breathing!" He yelled. He took off my helmet. "Uh, anyone know CPR?" He asked sheepishly.
"I thought your a doctor! Arent they supposed to know that stuff?" Higgins asked frantically.
"I forgot...." Doc mubmled, hanging his head down.
"Fine, I know it." Higgins said. With that, he started to breathe for me. After about 5 minutes, I coughed a little, and could breathe on my own. I gasped, and the tape ended. Higgins saved my life. Right then I heard stirring. I looked to see Higgins awake, and looking afraid. Like I might be mad he gave me CPR.
"Higgins, you saved my life!" I exlaimed.
"Your not mad? Like your not mad I didnt like invade your personal life by our lips touching?" He asked.
"Listen to yourself! You saved my life! You dont need to feel scared!" I exlaimed.
"So, were still friends, right?" He asked.
"Of course. If you didnt give me CPR, I bet no one else knew it, and I would be dead right now." I said. Then he started to laugh. "Okay, I thought me being dead was a tradegy, but hey, everyone experiences things differently..." I mumbled, raising an eyebrow.
"No, its not that. But I remember now that when I was done giving you CPR, Zander looked p-oed! So did your brother!" He said, grinning.
"Yah, if I wasnt almost dead, and conscious, I probably wouldve peed my pants laughin." I said, giggling. He grinned, and right then Dizzy came in.
"Hey...I didnt expect to see this sight..." She mumbled.
"What? Oh no, Diz, you gotta believe me, we hung out, and she fell asleep. Thats all." Higgins said quickly.
"You sure?" She asked, looking like she didnt believe a word he had just said.
"Please believe us! Nothing happened. And I wouldnt do what your thinking we did, cause thats totally disgusting!" I said. She sighed.
"Whatever. I was going to come in here and say its time to eat, and Lt. Razak is calling in today to see if we have any missions." She said, leaving.
"Great. Now theres gunna rumors, and Lt. Razak will get mad." Higgins said, sighing.
"Dont worry. Let them say the rumors. We know the truth, and thats what will make me happy." I said.
**
Down in the lunchroom, me and Higgins sat at the end of the table, afraid people would say stuff. Then Higgins got up to go look for some ketchup. Thats when I heard some snickering, and I noticed Dizzy, Rico, Gossard and Doc were looking at me, and laughing. I walked over.
"What the heck is so funny?" I asked angrily.
"You did the nasty with Higgins? Whooey, and I always thought he was a wimp!" Rico said.
"Dizzy!" I exlaimed, glaring at her.
"Hey, I never said I believed you!" She said, smirking.
"Well believe this, thats disgusting, I would never do that, and we are only friends." I said, gritting my teeth.
"Yah, and if he did even touch you, he's dead." My brother said, coming up behind me.
"He didnt." I said truthfully.
"Thats what they all say." Doc said, laughing.
"Why do you have to do this?" I asked, tears building up.
"Do what?" Dizzy asked, laughing.
"This! You know its true, or at least one of you does, your just doing this to ruin my life!" I said, running back to the end of the table. Higgins was back by then.
"Dont cry." He said, looking sad himself. Then he wiped the tears from my face. "And dont worry what they say." He said, looking more serious now. Carl came over.
"I know your telling the truth. I can read minds." He said, smiling.
"Okay." I said.
"Ill try to convinse them the truth, hopefully it'll work." He said, walking away.
"Thank God." I said.
"Your going home after this." My brother said.
"Good." I said shakily. He walked over and gave me another gun.
"Hold out until we leave." He said. Then he walked back to Lt. Razak. I started to shoot bugs again. All of a sudden there was a loud noise.
