Chapter 2: Your Perfect Person

Virginia felt dizziness consume her. The last thing she saw before she blacked out was Jet's worried eyes. Wow...what a sight. Those were the deepest, caring amethyst eyes she had ever seen.

'I've always loved his eyes,' she thought as she felt her own eyes close. Memories flashed in her mind. Was this her fate? Was she going to leave? 'Is this the end for me?'

She didn't want to leave. But her strength was depleting quickly. There was a blur and everything went black…

Goodbye Filgaia.


"Virginia? Virginia!" Jet shookher roughly andcursed silently. Why'd this have to happen? Virginia, out of all people couldn't be in this situation. Why couldn't it be him?

But he felt for her pulse and sighed in relief.Good. At least her pulse was still there.

He sighed and stared ather face. 'She looks just like an angel…' Jet thought as he set her down against a rock. He still was staring intently at her, trying to figure out what to do when he heard, "If you hadn't left, you punk, this wouldn't have happened!"

Behind him an angry Gallows and a disappointed Clive stood.The Baskar priesttowered over him, glaring at him. "WHY DID YOU LEAVE, PUNK?" he shouted, grabbing the collar of Jet's shirt. He lifted him up with his strong arms as Jet struggled to breathe. "I SAID, WHY DID YOU LEAVE?" Gallows yelledas he tightened his grip.

Clive was watching in shock and immediately got Gallowed to stop choking the poor kid. "Gallows, stop this!"

Jet breathed heavily, grasping his neck as he took several steps away from his 'friend'. "You tryin' to kill me?" he shouted, his eyes flamed with anger.

"Too bad I didn't," Gallows retorted silently.

"Gallows!" Clive scolded. Sighing, he turned to the young man who was standing awkwardly a few steps away. "Jet, if you really want to leave you'd better leave now. You left before and if you have any more intentions of leaving again, I suggest you do it now."

Jet looked at him seriously, a stern expression on his face. "No. I don't want to leave anymore. And I'm sorry I left in the first place."

Silence covered the air for a second before Jet told them the bad news. "We'll talk about it later. Right now, Virginia needs help. She's poisoned and it seems to be affecting her quickly. I tried looking for an antidote but I don't have one and I tried looking in the bag and there isn't one there either," he explained.

The other two instantly crowded around the girl to check on her. "We should've restocked all our medicine at the town…" Clive said with a sigh.

"No time for that now! We gotta help our leader and fast!" Gallows shouted.

Jet sighed. "I don't know what to do! I can't think of anything!" he said in worry. Actually, his mind was in a whirl of concern. He couldn't think of anything except that Virginia was hurt and possibly dying. Dammit. Why was he so dumb?

Clive shook his head slowly. "Why don't you try this?"

Jet looked at him as Clive went and screamed loudly into the sky. "LOMBARDIA, COME TO OUR AID!"

"C'mon! We gotta help Virginia!" Jet said. Wow he couldn't believe it. There was a simple solution and he had been too worried to see it. But he couldn't help it. It had seemed that it wasn't Virginia's life in danger, but his own. Why? Why did he care so much? But he couldn't think of that now. He quickly picked the girl up and carried her towards the huge dragon.

"Lombardia, go to Humphrey's Peak, and hurry!"

-

Virginia's emerald eyes opened slowly. Her comrades were standing above her, sighing in relief.

"Ah I see that you've awoken," a man in white said as he entered into the room.

"Thanks again Doc," Gallows said in great relief. "For everything."

The doctor had also treated Gallows, Clive and Jet's bruises and cuts. After all, they had just fought a rather brutal fight.

"Well Virginia - that's your name right?" Virginia nodded as the doctor continued. "You'll have to rest for about a week. That poison got you good. It almost killed you. You're lucky you have such good friends."

"Thanks you guys," Virginia said, smiling very brightly. She couldn't believe it. She was alive. And she would never take her life for granted ever again. The three boys nodded to their leader. They were all just thankful that she had survived.

"Now you boys will have to leave. The lady needs her rest," the doctor said as he stepped out of the room. As the Gallows and Clive obeyed and went toward the door, Jet stayed behind.

"Hey punk, let's go," Gallows said.

Jet was about to say something when Clive smiled a bit and said, "No, let him stay."

Gallows shrugged and went towards the exit of the small hospital.

Clive, however, stood by the door. "Hey Jet, good luck." And he shut the door behind him.

Jet wondered what he meant as he turned back to the girl in the hospital bed. He was still drowning in pity and didn't feel like he should even be talking to the girl that had almost been killed thanks to him. But he stayed with her. He didn't know why, but he simply wanted...to be near her. She made everything seem right again.

"I'm so glad you came back."

Jet jumped at the sudden comment. "H-Huh?"

"We all missed you, you know."

Helooked at the floor. "…It was only for a few hours…"

Virginia smiled brighter. "We still missed you."

"Ummm…I…"

"Hmm?"

"...I'm sorry I left."

Virginia nodded. "Apology accepted. Why did you leave in the first place? Did our dumb fights really get to you? Am I too big an annoyance to you? Did you think that I was in your way?"

Jet shook his head vigorously and stood by her bed, looking in her eyes. "Of course not! It has nothing to do with you or anyone else!"

The girl sighed with relief. So it hadn't been her fault after all. For awhile, she thought he had left because of her. Maybe she should stop fighting with him all the time.

"I just…needed time to think…"he said.

Virginia looked at him understandingly. "Don't worry about it. It's in the past now." She gave a big yawn.

"You should get back to sleep."

Shenodded sleepily and lay back down on her bed. "Thank you, Jet."

Before she knew it, she was fast asleep, dreaming happy dreams.

Jet stared at her peaceful face and almost melted at the sight of her. 'She looks so…' He shook his head. "What the heck am I thinking?" he mumbled to himself. He looked at her again and gave a tiny smile. "Sleep well, Virginia." He quickly left the room without another sound.

-

"Hey…" Jet walked up to Clive and Gallows. They were standing in the lobby of the small hospital.

"How is she?" Gallows asked.

"She's really tired, but she's sleeping right now," Jet answered.

"The poison really got to her," Clive wondered aloud.

"Clive, why'd you pick Humphrey's Peak to go to? I could've sworn there was a small town nearer to the place where the monster attacked. We could've gone there. It was closer than Humphrey's Peak even though it was some miles away," Jet said.

The clever sniperexplained himself. "Well, we went to that town before that monster attacked us. It was a very small town-"

"It didn't even have a hospital. That's why he decided to come here since this place has a hospital," Gallows cut in.

"And besides, it's always nice to see my family," Clive said with a small smile.

"Are we staying with them?" Jet asked. But he already knew the answer. Clive would never give up an opportunity to see the two most important people in his life.

Clive nodded and smiled a bit. Despite what he had went through today, his family would definitely cheer him up. Seeing loved ones always did that.

-

"Dad!" Kaitlyn yelled in joy as the young girl jumped into her father's arms with a giggle.

Clive hugged back. "Hello Kaitlyn. How've you been?"

"I'm fine!"She squealed as she saw two other people walk in. "Uncle Gallows! Uncle Jet!"

She jumped off from her father's arms and hugged Gallows. He smiled and awkwardly hugged the little girl back. Boy, he surely didn't know how to handle kids.

Kaitlyn looked around after the hug. She was looking for one particular person. "Hey where's-"

"Honey, you're home!" Catherine said as she gave her husband a quick kiss.

Clive nodded and smiled. "Sorry I didn't tell you in advance."

"That's no problem." She smiled. "It's nice to have a surprise visit."

Clive was about to reply but he felt a tug on his shirt. He looked down. Kaitlyn had a confused look on her face. "What's wrong, Kaitlyn?" he asked his daughter.

"Where's Aunt Virginia? Isn't she your boss? She should be here."

The fatherlooked at his battle comrades with a nervous expression. They gave the same expression back to him.

"That is true. Where is Virginia? Is she okay?" Catherine asked with a worried expression on her face. She must've seen the looks between the men.

"Virginia is here in Humphrey's Peak…" Clive started slowly.

"Then wouldn't she come in soon? I bet she's exhausted."

"More exhausted then you think," Jet muttered.

"Catherine, Virginia is…in the hospital…" Clive said softly.

"What! What's wrong?" Kaitlyn immediately asked.

Catherine showed an even more worried expression on her face. "Is she alright?"

"She's okay now. She got poisoned and we brought her here."

Kaitlyn tugged on Gallows's shirt. "What does that word mean?"

Gallows sighed. "It's well…Clive, help me out…I'm not good at explaining to kids."

"Kaitlyn honey, poison is when…well…when you feel very, very, very sick."

"Kaitlyn, that's enough questions for now. Let's let Daddy and his friends rest. I bet they've been through a lot," Catherine said looking at Clive. Henodded, giving her the 'I'll-tell-you-everything-later' look. "C'mon Kaitlyn, give them time to rest. You can help me set up a meal for them. I bet they're hungry."

"But I wanna see Aunt Virginia!" Kaitlyn replied.

"You can see Virginia tomorrow. She has to sleep right now," Clive explained.

She pouted a bit. "But Aunt Virginia! She even told me we were going to play a new game."

"Hey kid, cool down," Jet said sighing, "I'll go play with you…" he said reluctantly.

"Hey punk, you should really rest too, ya know? You fought that thing too," Gallows said yawning.

"I'll bebe okay."

"Are you sure, Jet?" Clive asked.

Helooked at him. "Hey, it's the least I can do for leaving…" he whispered.

Kaitlyn widened her eyes and gasped. "You left theteam? No way!"

Jet groaned. "Let's just go. It's kinda hard to explain."

"But Jet, you should really-"

"Hey, if Kaitlyn doesn't play with someone soon, she'll keep everyone awake," he explained, cutting Catherine off.

Mrs. Winsletsighed. It was the truth. Her daughter can get very upset over things and takes things a little extreme."Just don't tire yourself out, okay? Kaitlyn can be pretty energetic."

The Drifternodded. "Thanks for the advice."

Soon, he and Kaitlyn were out the door.

-

"So whaddya wanna do, kid?" Jet asked when they were outside in the sun.

Kaitlyn grabbed Jet's hand. "I'll show you. Just follow." She grabbed his hand and dragged him over to the front of a small white building. Jet sighed. He knew what the kid was trying to do now.

"Kaitlyn! Why are we at the hospital?" Jet asked even though he knew the answer.

"Oh c'mon! Daddy won't let me see Aunt Virginia today and I wanna see her right now. I wanna see if she's alright…she's like my big sister…" the kid said.

Jet groaned. Damn those puppy dog eyes. "Alright, alright. Just don't wake her up if she's sleeping. She's been through a lot today."

Kaitlyn smiled. "Oh thank you!" she said hugging him.

Jet just sighed. This was going to be a long day. He could tell already.

-

"Ah back already I see?" the doctor asked as he saw him and a little girl stepped into the hospital. "And I see you brought Kaitlyn."

"Hi Doctor Herbert!" Kaitlyn said letting go of Jet's hand.

Doctor Herbert smiled and patted her head. "How are you today, Kaitlyn?"

"I'm fine and healthy! So I don't need any shots today!"she said brightly. She hated those shots.

The doctor chuckled. "Okay. So, are you here to see Virginia again?" he asked Jet with a sly smile.

Heblushed. "I-I...uh...Kaitlyn wanted to see her."

The doctor chuckled again. "Well you know the way. The third door to the left." He pointed to the door.

"Thank you, Doctor Herbert!" Kaitlyn said merrily as she once again pulled Jet behind her towards Virginia's room.


'Jet…' Virginia thought as she lay awake on her bed, 'You came back…I'm glad. When he left I felt a sudden emptiness around me. But why is he the only one that I feel this way for? What's so special about him?'

Sheclosed her eyes. Images of Jet popped into her mind. His gorgeous eyes, the way he held her, the way he saved her so many times before…a fuzzy feeling came upon her as she thought about him. Virginia's eyes opened slowly as she realized her feelings.

'…I love him…'

"HI AUNTIE VIRGINIA!" a happy voice cried from the door.

A little girl suddenly hugged Virginia out of nowhere as she was sitting up. Virginia smiled and hugged back, realizing who it was. "Kaitlyn!"

Kaitlyn frowned, seeing how tired Virginia looked. "When Dad said you were hurt, I wanted to come here to see you."

Virginia looked at her with concern. "Are you here by yourself? How could you walk away from home without telling your parents!"

The kid smiled. "Of course not! Uncle Jet brought me here! Hey, where is he?" Kaitlyn asked when she didn't see him at the doorway, "COME ON, UNCLE JET!"

Jet walked meekly inside the room. Boy, this was pretty embarrassing. Virginia should be getting her sleep, not talking to an energetic kid. Kaitlyn was sure to wear her out. "Keep it down Kaitlyn, or else you'll disturb the other patients!" he hissed.

Kailtyn stuck her tongue out at him and smiled.

Virginia smiled and blushed when she saw Jet. "So, you couldn't handle her and gave up, right?"

Jet nodded shamefully as she giggled.

"Can I be your doctor, Aunt Virginia?" Kaitlyn asked.

"Yeah, why not?"

"I'll be right back." Kaitlyn giggled andskipped out of the room humming a tune.

Silence covered the air between the two that were left.

"May I sit?" Jet asked motioning to the space on the bed next to her. Virginia nodded ashe sat next to her. "Feeling better?"

"Yeah. Thanks to you guys," Virginia responded. She looked deeply into his eyes. "Thanks a lot…but I feel responsible for getting you guys hurt."

"I didn't get hurt."

Shegave him a doubtful look and looked at his bandaged arm.

"Oh that? That's nothing…don't worry about it…" Jet said.

Suddenly Virginia felt a piercing pain inside her. She clutched her chest wincing in pain as Jet quickly went to her aid.

"Virginia!" Jet shouted in worry. He put his arms around her trying to comfort her. "Virginia…"

After a few more seconds the pain went away. Virginia looked up sadly. "Sorry…I got a sudden pain inside me."

"Are you all right?"

Shenodded. "I have a headache…though…" Virginia laid her head against Jet's chest. The headache was pretty bad and she hugged Jet tightly.

He hugged back. "It's alright Virginia. It's the poison. There's probably still a bit inside you," he whispered.

"I'm sorry…"

"It's not your fault."

"Th-thank you…"

A moment of silence passed as Virginia's headache slowly but surely started to fade. But she didn't want to let go. Not now. Besides, she felt so warm in his arms.

"Are you gonna kiss now?" a kid's voice asked.

They let go of each other immediately as they saw Kaitlyn and Docter Herbert at the doorway.

Virginia and Jet were silent but were also bright red.

Kaitlyn smiled. "Don't worry, I see Mom and Dad kiss a lot. They love each other! I think it's cute."

Doctor Herbert laughed at Kaitlyn's comment and turned to the two on the bed. "I was going to check on you, Virginia, but it looks like your friend decided to comfort you in my place."

"No it's not…umm…" Jet stuttered.

Doctor Herbert felt Virginia's forehead. "Well your fever is down. That's a good thing. You should sleep. Then the antidote will work better that way."

"Awww…but we were going to play doctor! I got the stefoscope and everything," Kaitlyn said.

"It's stethoscope, not stefoscope," the doctor explained with a grin, "And I'm sorry but Virginia has to sleep."

"Okay."

Virginia lay down on the bed as she smiled to the others who said theirfarewells andwalked out the door.

"Feel better!" Kaitlyn exclaimed.


As Jet and Kaitlyn walked back to the house,the little girlbroke the silence between them.

"Uncle Jet, do you love Auntie Virginia?" she asked suddenly.

Jet's eyes widened as a slight blush covered his cheeks. "Do I what?!"

"Do you love her?"

"...I'm not sure."

"I think you do. You stare at her with googly eyes,"she said with a giggle.

"Really?"

"Yeah. Dad said that one day everyone finds the perfect person for them. I think Auntie Virginia is your perfect person."

Jet was silent, pondering on what the girl was saying.

"But, can you promise me one thing?"

"What is it?"

"If I'm wrong and she's not your perfect person, can you be my perfect person?"

"What? Umm…I…" Jet blushed. 'What is Clive teaching this kid?'

"I'm not sure if I'll ever find the one for me…so can you be my back-up?"she asked.

"Umm…I…well…"

"Yay!" Kaitlyn shouted with delight.

They finally reached the house and Kaitlyn ran ahead of him. "I'll see you later! I'm going to help Mom cook."

Jetwatched her run into the kitchen as he closed the front door behind him. Gallows walked in with a plate in his hand. "Hey kid, there's dinner on the table - what's wrong?"he asked seeing Jet's confused face.

"I'll never understand kids…" he said flopping down on the couch.
