" Ne, Raven? Raven, wake up."
Moonbay jolted the Gustav to a stop and shook Raven. He wasn't trying to wake up at the moment, but Moonbay was peristant. He only moaned and went back to resting on her when she shook him. So she resorted to just leave him there. She got out without warning, and Raven hit his head on the seat.
He looked up sleepily at her grinning face. Aside from being older than last time he ssaw her, she had changed her hair. It was down all around her face and hid her grin at his situation. She again, put out her hand and pulled him from the Gustav.
He looked around. It was dark outside and he could see the stars clearly. He turned when he heard something metal falling. Moonbay had tripped over a rock and she dropped the pots and plates she was carrying.
" Shamatta." She said.
He absentmindedly went over and picked the pots and plates up in one arm and lifted her up in the other. This time Moonbay blushed. He just handed her the plates and went back to watching the stars.
Moonbay went to start a fire and get to cooking. She would look up at Raven every once and a while just to check on him. Said ZOID pilot was sitting on a rock still looking up at the skies. She shook her head and went back to what she was doing.
" Raven?" She called.
He didn't make any notion he heard her. Moonbay glared. She found a small rock and chunked it at him. It hit him up-side the head and caught his attention. He rubbed the landing place of the rock and looked at her questioningly.
" Would you like to eat or what?" She asked.
He blinked.
" You know food? Yum-yum food?" She said poiting to the pot next to her.
He looked at the pot she was pointing to. Then his stomach made it clear that food was a good idea. Moonbay smiled and fixed a bowl for him. She brought it over to him and sat next to him. He examined the sop bowl with half-lidden eyes.
" Well it's not gonna bite you. If anything, you should be starving." She said.
He brought the bowl up to his lips and sampled the soup. Moonbay smiled as he finished it. He then set the bowl down and looked back at the sky. She looked up too; wondering just what was so intensely interesting.
" And what, may I ask, is so gosh darn interesting?" She asked.
He pointed up to the sky. She could barely make out a Pteras going by. She was so engrossed in trying to see the ZOID, she didn't notice Raven had fallen off the rock and onto the ground until she heard the 'thud'. He must have been too busy watching it go over them to realize he had bent back too far.
She looked back at him and giggled again. He was amusing for someone so violent. He blushed again while she helped him up.
" You're going to have to be more careful Raven. You could really get hurt out here in your condition. If anyone sees you, you'll be taken in or shot." She said.
He looked up at her. She looked thoughtful and then smiled.
" You wouldn't want to come with me to deliver my shipments for a while would'ya?" She asked.
He blinked.
" I'm a transporter of the wasteland. I deliver whatever for a price. Do you wanna come with me or go at it alone?" She asked.
He blinked again and tilted his head. Moonbay sighed.
" C'mon Raven. I know you can talk. How could I help you if you were in danger? I can't help you if I didn't know where you were." She said.
His eyes widened at her mentioning help. He looked at her strangely. She said she would help him if he was in danger. He then looked down. He didn't know this girl and she barely knew him. He had tried to kill her companions and she was helping him.
" C'mon Raven. A simple yes or no will suffice." She said laying back on the rock.
He looked up at the sky again.
".....Okay."
" Huh? Wah!" Moonaby cried.
She was so surprised by the answer that she fell off the rock and onto the ground.
" K'so." She said rubbing the back of her head and sitting up.
Raven turned around and helped her up. She smiled sheepishly. He stomach grumbled this time. She placed her hands over her exposed belly and blushed as red as Raven had when he fell off the rock. She laughed nervously.
" I was so busy trying to feed you, I forgot to feed myself." She said laughing.
She stopped when she felt something warm pushed into her hands. It was a bowl of soup. She looked surprised and looked up. Raven was handing her food.
" Thank you." She said.
He grunted and went towards to the fire. Moonbay sipped the hot soup and went back over to the fire. Raven was sitting on the ground watching the pot and stopping it before it boiled over. She set up a sleeping bag on the ground.
" Alright, Raven, I'll sleep in the Gustav and you can...." She trialed.
He was already asleep in the back of the Gustav. Leaving the more comfortable sleeping bag for her. Moonbay smiled. She didn't understand why or what made him do it, but he did it. Raven was being nice to her. She went over to the Gustav and looked in. Raven was fast asleep. She brushed black bangs from his face.
" Goodnight Raven." She said.
Moonbay jolted the Gustav to a stop and shook Raven. He wasn't trying to wake up at the moment, but Moonbay was peristant. He only moaned and went back to resting on her when she shook him. So she resorted to just leave him there. She got out without warning, and Raven hit his head on the seat.
