Heeding Naomi's advice, I sort of consolidated 2 chapters into 1, I wonder
if you can notice the point where the chapters would have been split apart
hehe.
Anyways, here's Chapter 3, should be a lot better than Chapter 2. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks again for reading, makes it all worthwhile!

Moonbay swung back round to see a huge, abandoned Geysac directly in front of them, it had been on the other side of the dune that they were going over, and so Moonbay had not noticed it earlier. She made a sharp turn, and narrowly avoided it.
Van, out of his seat, toppled backwards from the turn falling onto Irvine, who cringed in displeasure, and felt particularly distraught about where Van's elbow had made impact upon him. Rudolph had been hoping that Van would have toppled onto him, but had quickly changed his mind.
"Ooo, thats gotta hurt, Irvine" Moonbay sympathized.
"Please don't turn around any more, Moonbay" Fiona appealed.
"Geroofff off of me, Van" came the faint high-pitched sounds from Irvine's mouth, his eye piece dangling from his ear.
"I'm having a little trouble getting up."
"VaAAan!"
With help from Rudolph, Van found his own seat at last. "I'm sorry Irvine, I didn't mean to...." He suddenly realized why Irvine was so mad. "Oohhh.....oopsie, heh say Rudolph, would you like to erm swap seats?" Van was genuinely scared.
"No need for that Van, we've arrived!" Fiona chirped, calming the atmosphere. They had indeed arrived, and the Gustav slowed to a stop. Van opened the top of the Gustav and leaped over Rudolph, making himself scarce, and also to find some papayas.
Moonbay, Fiona and Irvine also left the Gustav, leaving Rudolph all alone, it was like they had forgotten that he had even existed.
"Ruuudolph!" Fiona called out. So much for that silly thought, he chuckled to himself, as he got out.
Dune Colony was a fairly small place, which held a flock of old farmers who hadn't even heard of the Emperor's death. They decided to leave Zeke behind so he could get used to the extra functions of the new Blade Liger, and also because they didn't want to startle the residents.
The moment they had entered the Colony, they were greeted by a farmer. They explained their situation, and the farmer gave a set of keys to Fiona. He told them that they were for Farmer Jack's house who had sadly passed away, and since the place was vacant, they could stay there for the night. An old lady appeared beside him, and they skipped away together.
"That was weird," stated Fiona
"I wonder if that is normal around here," added Rudolph
A few minutes later, Van reappeared with a few papaya's, and Irvine glared in his direction. "I think I'm going to sleep by the Command Wolf tonight." He walked off before anyone could say anything to him.
Rudolph wondered if...
After a short walk they arrived at the house, it looked more like an old shack that was on it's last legs. Inside though, it seemed quite different, homely.
"If you'll excuse us, boys, I think I'm going to hit the sack, and would like some privacy." Moonbay uttered, prodding them towards the staircase.
"Looks like its just gonna be you and me tonight, bud." Van said warmly, as they plodded carefully up the stairs leaving Fiona with Moonbay. Rudolph couldn't believe what was happening, it was just going to be him and Van, all alone, who knows what could happen.
As Rudolph reached the top of the stairs, he noticed two rooms, one was a bathroom, the other was a bedroom. They entered the bedroom, and were surprised to see how nice it looked. Rudolph would never have believed this was the same place that he saw from the outside. Added to that surprise was the fact, that the walls, ceiling and floor were all pink in color. There was also a double bed, which was a deep sea blue and seemed very inviting when put in contrast to the pink.
"Wow, I feel really out of place up here," said Van. "Perhaps we should switch with the girls." He walked over to the landing, stopped for a few seconds, and turned back. "Well, I guess it's not so bad up here."
"At least we'll be safe here, Van."
"Yeah, thats right, don't worry Rudolph, we'll have you back at Guygalos in no time." He put his hand on Rudolph's shoulder. "...........Been a while since I cleaned myself up, think I'll take a quick shower." He walked off through the landing and into the bathroom.
Oh Van, the more I am around you, the more I want to be with you. Every time you touch me, I suddenly feel warm inside, its like you can dissipate all of my hurt with your touch. And when you look into my eyes, I feel like the most luckiest boy in the world, the most happiest. I am so in love with you Van, but I don't know what to do, I can't tell any of this to you, you wouldn't want anything to do with me if I did, and then there's the empire, if they find out about this I'm finished, and Prozen, noo.
This, the thoughts going through Rudolph. He realized where he was, and that he would probably never be this close to Van like this again. His mind was tangled, if he was going to make a move, it would have to be tonight, and this made Rudolph's heart thump with fear and anxiety. The more he thought, the more everything else in the world didn't seem to matter anymore, Van was all he wanted, and so Rudolph decided that he would take that chance, put it all on the line, it was Van or nothing.
He walked out of the bedroom and across the landing towards the bathroom. He stood outside the door and gasped for breaths, he could hear Van humming a pleasant tune as water showered onto the floor. Summoning all his courage, he reached for the door knob, what was he doing, was he just going to walk in and go up to Van? He paused, with his hand on the door knob. As much as he tried, he just could not bring himself to open the door. He tried to concentrate all of his will-power on opening the door, but his hand would not turn. Just then, he noticed a keyhole, sheesh, the door had probably been locked the whole time. Whether it had been locked or not, Rudolph decided on another plan, to look through the keyhole. One step at a time, he told himself as he squatted to the floor, and looked through.
It was a difficult angle, but he could see Van's head, under the shower, and was shocked at how close he was to him, so close that his head was the only thing in view. He must have only been a few metres away. Wow, Van looked even cuter when his hair was wet. Rising up a little bit, Rudolph watched the water cascade down his face, and onto his smooth chest. Rudolph had never seen Van bare-chested before, and now felt like his eye was glued to the keyhole, like he couldn't look away even if he wanted to. He felt his heart racing, as he looked on. Van seemed to be perfect in every way, muscular but not over muscular, a gentle tan, and a cute belly-button. He moved his eyes to a higher position, watching the water trickle down his chest towards....
Suddenly, a voice called out from behind him, "Hey Rudolph, what are you doing?!" It was Moonbay!
Anyways, here's Chapter 3, should be a lot better than Chapter 2. I hope you enjoy it, and thanks again for reading, makes it all worthwhile!
