Chapter 2
Wildwing walked into the kitchen and sighed. He wasn't surprised to see Mallory standing in the kitchen, trying to find something to eat.
"I should have known you'd be up by now Mal." He said
"Being up this early is just a bad military habit." She replied, "I'm surprised that you even noticed me standing here, all by myself in the corner of the kitchen."
"I would think that people would be able to notice you wherever you go." He replied, pouring himself a cup of coffee
"Yea, well, most people don't seem to notice me," she said flatly, swirling her coffee in her mug
"I don't see how they couldn't notice you." he said
"Why because I'm always yelling my head off at everyone?" she asked with a slight smile "No, its because I would think that people would be able to notice someone as radiant as you standing near them."
Mallory was stunned by his words. She had always thought Wildwing to be a gentleman and very attractive, but she had never expected to be the focus of his attention. To stunned to even think, all she managed to say was,
"Here have a pop-tart."
"Do you want to come eat breakfast with me on the roof?" he asked
"Yea, I'd love to." She said, apparently shaken from her daze.
"Great then let's go." Said Wildwing.
Mallory and Wildwing climbed to the top of the roof, and sat down to watch the sun come up.
"You never realize how much you take life for granted until you slow down and learn to appreciate the little things in life." Said Mallory, staring out into the endless depths of the sky
"What kinds of little things would you be talking about?" he asked jokingly
"Watching a sunrise with your best friend perhaps?" she replied looking him straight in the eyes.
"I thought Tanya was your best friend." He said
"Ever since she and Duke started dating I've kinda become the third wheel." She said wrapping her arms around her chest. "They would always ask me to come with them, just to be nice ya know? I only went with them once and I ended up leaving, they had spent the entire night making out. I just hopped on my duckcycle and came back early. The site of them just sitting there together wanted to make me puke." Mallory shivered from the cold.
She hadn't thought about bringing a jacket, and now she was regretting it.
"You cold?" asked Wildwing
"A bit" she replied "But it's nothing I can't handle."
Wildwing took off his sweatshirt and tossed it to Mallory "Catch! Its pre- warmed and everything!" he said
"Are you sure that you don't need it?" she asked
"Yea I have a heavy long sleeved shirt on under that sweatshirt."
"Thanks Wing." She said smiling. She noted in her mind that it smelled like him.
Wildwing scooted over closer to Mallory so that their arms were almost touching.
"So tell me more about the whole Tanya and Duke thing. It sounds interesting." He said
"What's there to know?" she said "There together now and I'm happy for them. Tanya used to talk about him non-stop before they got together. At least now she'll shut up about him every once in a while, that is if she even talks to me" She grumbled at the last part of the statement.
"Feeling left out?" asked Wildwing
"Ye.well no.not exactly." She replied, "Tanya and I don't spend nearly as much time as we did together, but now I don't want to do anything that she's doing anymore. Whenever she does something she HAS to have Duke with her. It's like she now values a 2-year relationship over a 10-year friendship. It's like I said, I'm the third wheel now." She sighed
"I know how you feel Mal" said Wing, "Duke and I used to be best friends until he started dating Tanya. Then he wouldn't shut up about her. He would always be like 'Tanya did this.' or 'Tanya did that.' I couldn't take it anymore. I stopped talking to him after a while. Whenever I tried to talk to him he'd be with Tanya. They would always be making out so I just left them alone."
"Couldn't you talk to Nosedive though? I mean he IS your brother." She asked
"He was always with Grin. There inseparable. And besides, he does get a little annoying after a while. He's too hyper and happy for me." He said
"Oh" was all Mallory could manage to say.
For a few moments they just sat in silence, watching the sun rise and fill the sky with an array of orange, pink and all other sorts of colors.
"Does seeing Duke and Tanya being so happy together" asked Mallory, "ever make you feel really."
"Alone?" they both said at the same time.
"Well maybe" said Wing, "We can just sit up here and be alone, together."
"Sure" she replied
They sat on the roof in a comfortable silence for a half-hour, watching the last of the sun's rays appear over the horizon.
"We should go back inside." Said Wing, "Everyone else will be getting up in about 10 minutes."
"Hey Wing." Said Mallory
"Yea Mal." Said Wing
"My coffee is cold and I think these pop-tarts are stale." She said with a hint of laughter in voice.
"You know I think you're right!" said Wing, chuckling and rising to his feet at the same time.
"I could use that as an analogy to describe my life." She said
"Need a hand?" he asked, extending his hand to help her up
"Thanks" she said.
"My life is like cold coffee and stale pop-tarts in the morning," thought Wing out loud "That's kinda clever."
"Maybe" she sighed, "Here's your sweatshirt back."
"Thanks" he said
With that, Wing and Mallory went inside to wait for everyone else to wake up.
