"Umm... Excuse me, um..miss, where are we going?" Virginia stopped walking
and looked at Jet.
"What did you say?" she asked disbelief evident in her tone.
"I asked where are we going." Jet stated with a bemused look on his face.
"No Jet, before that."
"Excuse me Miss?" he stated with an even more perplexed look on his face.
Virginia fought the urge to laugh and failed miserably.
"What's so funny?" Jet asked innocently.
"Sorry," Virginia said as she started to regain her lost breath, "It's just that I never thought you'd call me that!"
"Is it wrong?" he inquired, looking at Virginia. Virginia opened her mouth but couldn't help letting a few more giggles escape her.
"No, but I want you to call me Virginia, okay."
"Vir-gin-ia, Virginia, okay!" Jet said with a smile on his face.
Virginia blinked as her mouth hung open with surprise at the smiling youth.
"Is something wrong?" Jet's voice broke through the daze Virginia had been in.
"You..you smiled!" Virginia stated pointing her index finger at him.
"What's wrong with that, Vir..Virginia?" Jet asked, struggling to say her name.
"No, no it's just unexpected." Virginia looked at him before talking again. "Jet is it hard for you to say my name?"
Jet sighed and nodded, "A little. It's just kinda long."
Virginia thought for a moment, "Ginny."
"What?" Jet asked looking at her.
"Call me Ginny. That should be easier."
"Ginny? Okay." Jet nodded at her as they began walking again. "Ginny?"
"Yes Jet."
"You still haven't told me where we're going." Virginia looked at Jet for a moment before realizing she didn't think about where they were going, she had said she was going to teach Jet to shoot but now she didn't feel like it, for she had a lot on her mind, she was thinking about Jet. *I've just been letting my feet keep moving without really thinking about where. I just can't banish the sight of Jet's eyes; they're so innocent and trusting. It's like he's a little kid.* Virginia looked at Jet again, he just stared at her. She sighed, "I really don't know."
Virginia then began to turn around and headed for her room, she looked to see that Jet was behind her, "Jet, I'm going to my room now." She stated and started again to her room. She looked behind to see that Jet was still walking behind her, "What?" she asked with surprise.
"Umm... You haven't let go of my hand yet." Jet said gently.
Virginia turned a bright red as she looked that indeed, Jet's hand was still being firmly gripped by hers.
"Oh, I'm so sorry" she apologized as she let go of his hand. Jet stared at her with a great amount of amusement, and let out a small laugh. Virginia stared at him and felt anger rise in her. "What is so funny?"
"Your face, it's all red, kinda like a tomato." He stated, pointing his finger at her. Virginia turned a brighter shade of red at this remark. "Now you're even redder." At this point she couldn't go to a deeper crimson.
"Stop it!" she yelled, placing her hands on her face, trying to hide her cherry-red face.
Jet stopped with his teasing and looked at Virginia with a guilty look, "Sorry."
Virginia let go of her face, now she felt bad, she had teased Jet all the time, but he had never teased her back before.
"No, it's okay really, I do it all the time." Virginia said, her face returning to its normal shade.
Just then the ship landed, the shock threw Virginia off her feet, she closed her eyes and waited to feel the cold, hard, metal of the ship's floor, but instead she felt soft warmth. She opened her eyes to see that she had landed on top of Jet. She tried to get up and found that she couldn't, Jet's arms were circled around her waist.
"Jet, Jet." Virginia looked at him, his eyes were closed, *he must have hit his head.* she thought, *He's out.* Virginia tried to pry his arms off with one hand, while using the other to balance herself, unfortunately her balancing hand slipped making her fall again, and in doing so made it so her lips went over his. She pulled herself back up; her face had again gone a deep crimson. Jet let out a small groan while he pulled his hands off Virginia's waist and put them on his head. Virginia's feelings of embarrassment and confusion were overridden with concern and worry.
"Jet, are you okay?" she asked as she bent down next to him.
"Yeah, but that really hurt." He stated childishly while holding his head.
"Here, let me see." She gently pried his hands off his head and looked to see if it was bleeding, to her relief there was only a small bump. "Its only a small bump, nothing that bad."
"What happened anyway?" Jet inquired.
"I guess we landed." Realization hit Virginia like a ton of bricks. They had arrived at their destination, The Angel's Tomb.
"Oh god!" Virginia groaned in dismay. She had said that she would teach Jet how to shoot, and this whole time she had been goofing off. What was she going to do!
"What's wrong?" Jet asked innocently.
"I forgot to teach you how to use your Airget-lahm." She stated without thinking.
"Airget-lahm? You mean this?" Jet asked pulling the gun from it's holster.
"Jet! Put that thing away, you may hurt yourself!" Virginia yelled.
When Jet didn't respond Virginia got closer to him, "Jet?" she called his name tensely.
"I know how to use this." He said coming out of the daze he had been in.
