Note: sorry the last one probably didn't exactly stir much curiosity about
what'll happen next. . .but I guess you'll have to wait and see (I don't
know all of it yet myself ; )
MAX:
Pop's old squad, what are the odds? PLUS Zim! Man, and I thought I'd be gettin' away from all that stuff.
I shut my eyes. I didn't want to think about it anymore, besides there wasn't much I could do about it anyway. At the moment there wasn't anything I could do, period. 'Ahhhhh! I said STOP thinking about it!!'
Reaching down to my PDC player, which sat on the floor, I rammed up the volume to a good 90% and began singing long with the lyrics (in my head). Oh, yeah, like I was gonna let someone come in here and catch me half asleep and singing along off key to music they couldn't particularly hear like an idiot, that'd be just what I needed!
GOSSARD
Thank God for R 'n R!! I felt exhausted out of my mind and if Max pulled one more stupid stunt I was ready to open fire!! OK, so maybe he's not THAT bad. . .maybe.
"So, we're seriously here through Christmas?" I asked, directing the question at Rico, or was I supposed to call him LT now?
"Yeah, not pulling any surprise missions out of a hat are you?" Dizzy added.
" 'We're here for the next 72 hours until further notice.' " Rico quoted.
"So what does that mean?" Dizzy demanded.
Rico shrugged. "Cross your fingers."
I don't know if anybody's ever gonna figure those two out. Rico finally figures out he loves Dizzy and Diz decides she only "used" to love him (which is bull as far as anybody who actually knows her, like say her squad, can tell). Now they're both. . .who KNOWS what, acting like nothing ever happened. Go figure. All you can do is let it go 'cause with Dizzy and Rico you don't try to fix their problems because the odds are it'll only make them worse. The pair of them get into enough fights trying to do that for each other.
"Yeah Flores, don't question a good thing." I put my two cents in.
Dizzy shrugged, "if you think that'll help."
"'Course I do," I replied confidently.
"Yeah, and that's why you questioned it in the first place, right?" Doc asked, eyebrow cocked.
"Yeah," Dizzy grinned, "you're such a hypocrite, Goss."
I shrugged, "what can I say?"
"Generally?" She replied, "not much."
ZIM:
Just to quote almost every movie and TV series in history: 'I have a bad feeling about this'.
I was making my way down the hallway towards the mess. Rico was aloud to forget he was a Lieutenant, but only for so long. SICON already wanted to talk to him about 'after' our R 'n R. Hopefully AFTER the R 'n R. The whole squad needed some time to relax and what better time than Christmas, right? And yet, SOMEHOW, I get the feeling the bugs aren't exactly about to offer a Christmas truce.
