Aali was tired of talking to John, he was always different when he was in charge, when he was the lone Master Chief.but she understood a little.

"Why he always gotta be frontin'?" she asked Herself.

Then she spotted someone she had never noticed before, he was actually pretty short, about 5'6, he had short, black hair and somewhat thick eyebrows, his eyes were dark brown and he didn't really have much emotion to him. She decided to do what she always does.

"Hi." she said.

He just kinda looked at her and raised both eyebrows before giving her thumbs up, but didn't say anything.

"Not a very social person?" she then asked.

"Not really, no. I'm here to kill, not to make friends." He said.

"At least tell me your name?"

"Danny" he answered in his deep voice.

"So you don't have a last name either?" she said, smiling.

"No." he said back and smiled.

"Who did you come here with?"

"You ask a lot of questions," He said, then pointed to a group of guys, "Them, Jaime and Jason"

"Ahh, ok."

Then silence took over for a moment, and Aali looked to him.

"Anything else?" he asked smiling again.

"I came with them," She said as she pointed to Eric, Paul and Josh.

"Whoa" he said unenthusiastically, but she just laughed at his expressions.

"You're the Blue Master Chief aren't you?" he asked her.

"Yeah," She said, blushing.

But he just shook his head and smiled, then looked at her.

"You're just a baby, right?"

She stood silent, looking into his peaceful brown eyes. And she thought about what he said, "I am just a baby.I shouldn't be here."

"I'm 17 and I live a crazy life." she answered.

He then started walking to his bed and motioned for her to follow him, she did.

"That's what I thought, you shouldn't be here, much less be the Master Chief, a lot of responsibility in that." he said.

"I know."

"You think you can handle it?"

"Of course."

"Because you seemed to crack pretty bad when 117 was rippin' you." Said Danny as he grabbed another pair of clothes and sat on his bed.

"He just doesn't respect me yet.he will after the next mission though."

"No he won't. I've known John for a long time, and he won't just, Respect you after a mission, he only respects people that stand up to his words, so right now, you're at the bottom of his list."

Aali bowed her head.

"Listen, don't worry about John, just relax and follow me a bit.I'll show you how his mind works, alright?"

Aali raised her head slowly and threw her arms around Danny.

"Thank you!"

He sat quietly as he then slowly brought a strong hand to her back., and smiled slightly.

Then John walked in.

"Hey John, what's up?" said Danny as Aali pulled herself away from him.

"Not much, not much.ready to kick some Covenant ass though, oh.Hi Aali." said John.

Aali just looked at him without saying anything.

"What?" he asked.

"Why you always gotta be Frontin'?" she asked flat out.

John gave a very confused look, see, John grew up on Reach, while Aali grew up in the Ghetto.

"She means, why do you change personalities?" explained Danny.

"Because when I'm around you personally, then it's alright to be me, but when I have a team of lives to keep alive, it's different, I have to be strict.not get ready." said John as he walked away.

Aali looked to John and then to Danny, then gave Danny a look like, "See what I mean.?"
