A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. I had last of the year projects, 12 hour long parties, fanfic wouldn't let me update for some unknown reason, and I was just plain lazy. I'll try to update more. Thanx for the reviews!

Oh yeah, if you see something like *I*, that means the I should be in italics. Still haven't figured out how to get them to work…

Also, character's are a bit OOC, but I tried.

*~*Chapter 7*~*

It was about noon when all had been packed up an stored in the zoids.

"Come on, Zeke! Time to set out again." Van called from the Blade Liger's cockpit. "See ya later, Sis!"

"Write me often!" Maria called up to her little brother with a smile.

"We will." Fiona answered for him as the orange door closed and the large red zoid came up behind them.

"If we leave now, we'll get there about this time tomorrow, that is if we only stop for rest tonight." Raven called as Shadow fused with the Geno Breaker and they headed out.

"So, what are we going to do when we get there?" Fiona asked as they left the small town.

"Get a place to stay for starters." Raven said.

"You think your little buddy the prince could help us out? After all we did help to save this pathetic planet." Reese said leaning over the black haired pilot, not making him very happy in the fact she held onto his shoulder for balance.

"You mean *I* helped to beat the Death Saurer while you sat back and cry your eyes out." Raven shot back at her. "And get your hands off me!"

"What's your problem?" she asked taking her hands off his shoulder.

"You."

"Whatever." the blue haired woman said. She sat back in her chair for a few minutes.

"I'm sure he could help, but I don't think people have gotten over what the two of you did in the past, so no promises." Van said.

"I know, but it's worth a try." Raven responded closing the com link.

"What happens if it's a one bed room place?" Reese asked specifically to tick Raven off.

"You sleep outside." the Dark One answered coldly. "And if your lucky, I might let you have a blanket."

"Raven, winter's right around the corner here. It's not warm like the last place we stayed."

"You like the color blue right? Blue hair…blue eyes…blue dress…blue organoid…blue skin would be a nice addition…" Raven said turning to give her a playful smirk.

"And a black eye or two would be a nice addition to your little gothic style there." she said looking past him out the cockpit window. "And a black sky to go along with it all. Looks like a lightning storm in a few hours."

"Great."

Just as Reese predicted, a huge lightning storm hit.

"Van, we have to get out of the storm. If lightning hits the zoids, it's lights out for them." Fiona said.

"I know." Van was about to open a com link, but Raven beat him to it.

"There's a huge cave around here. The zoids can fit inside and there's plenty of room." the violet eyed man said. "Follow me."

"Right." Van answered.

The two zoids headed for a large cave in the side of the mountain. Everyone got out and looked around. Raven gathered up some wood and made a little fire while the others sat around the little fire in a circle, Reese on one side, Van and Fiona on the other. Raven walked back to the Geno Breaker and was searching through his stuff. Finding what he was after, he jumped down.

"Hey, Reese. Catch." he called throwing the object toward her.

"Huh?" the blue haired zoidian was hit on the side of the head with something soft.

"Marshmallows?" Van asked with a little chuckle.

"Yep." he said taking the bag from Reese, opening it, put one on the end of a stick he found, and stuck it in the fire.

"You're nothing but a kid in a grown-up body, Raven." Fiona said with one of her eyes closed smiles. (^_^)

"Prozen took part of my childhood away, so I might as well make up for it now." he answered watching the marshmallow become a ball of flames. He pulled it out and watched the flame burn on it for a while before sticking in in Reese's face.

"Don't you dare." she said thinking he was going to burn her with it.

"Blow." was all he said.

Reese blew out the flames.

"Take it." he said. Seeing her blank stare he continued. "I hate marshmallows. I just like to watch them burn."

"Whatever. I'm not in a scorched marshmallow mood. If you don't completely burn one, let me know." with that she laid back.

"I like `em burnt." Fiona said as Raven held the stick over to her. She took it and ate it.

"So…what are we gonna do for the next couple hours. It's only 5:00 and the storm doesn't look close to over yet." Van said after watching Raven burn a few marshmallows to a crisp.

Raven stuck one more in the flame and pulled it out at a light brown color.

"Here." he said taking it off the stick and giving it to Reese.

"Thanks." she said taking it. "What'd you do with the stick?"

Reese grabbed the stick off the ground where Raven had dropped it. She pulled the cooked layer off the mallow and ate it, then stuck the rest back of the stick to be cooked again.

"We could play a game like Truth or Dare…20 questions…the dating game if we can or something like that." Reese said popping the rest of the gooey marshmallow in her mouth.

"What's the dating game?" Van asked.

"It's not gonna be much fun with just the four of us, but that's ok. One person goes off and covers their ears while the other 3 pick personalities. The one person comes back and asks the others questions like 'Where would you take me for a date' and the person they ask has to answer as if they were that personality. Like let's say for example Raven's personality for the game is Closter phobic, he would answer something like 'Anywhere that's not small and confined.' Want to play?" she said.

"Sure." Van and Fiona said.

"Whatever." Raven said getting up and walking toward the back of the cave. "I claim first guesser."

"Ok. What do you want to be?" Reese asked when she knew Raven wasn't listening. They stopped to think for a bit. "Van, you should be a hippy! Fiona, you should be afraid of organoids or something like that and I'll be a multi-personality person. You know those people that have two sides? You ask them a yes or no question and they say 'yes, no, yes, no' and fight with themselves."

"Fine." Van answered.

"Alright." Fiona replied.

"Raven!" Reese called.

Raven turn and walked back to them.

"So I can ask any questions I want?" he asked getting a nod from Reese. "Ok. Reese, what's your idea of a good night 'sleep'?"

Reese stopped to think about it for a minute. 'How can I answer that with this personality?' she thought.

"Ok. Come here." she said grabbing the collar of Raven's shirt and pulling him toward her.

"I didn't say show me." the Dark One said pulling away.

"I'll whisper it in you ear." she said pulling him closer again. (A/N: Sorry, but I want this fic to stay PG-13.)

After a minute or so Raven pulled away and gave Reese a weird look.

"I'm picking a different personality. This one's too hard to act out." she said. "Ask one of them while I think."

"Van, not that I, or anyone in their right mind for that matter, would want to date you, but what's your idea of a good date?" Raven asked.

"One filled with peace and love, brother." Van said giving Raven a peace sign.

"Hippy boy." he said.

"Darn…that was too easy to guess." Van pouted.

"Fiona, same question." Raven said turning to her.

"Anything as long as Shadow doesn't have to come." she answered.

"Afraid of organoids?" Raven guessed.

"Not for real, but in the game yeah." she answered.

"I'm not really a hippy either."

"Sure, whatever you say Van." Raven said. "Got one yet, Reese?"

"Yep. Ask away." she said with a smile. 'He'll never get this one.' she thought to herself.

"Where would you like to go with me on a date?" he asked.

"Star gazing…maybe a night club. Afterwards, we could have some fun for the rest of the night if you get my drift…" she said trying not to laugh.

"What's so funny?"

"Nothing."

"What's your favorite hobby?"

"Destroying things and being a cold hearted person."

"You!" Raven said figuring out who she was pretending to be. He pushed her over and straddled her stomach, pinning her down. He put his hands around her thought and pretended to strangle her. He gave her a little smirk then realized the position he was in. He got off and turned his back to her.

"You thought that was really funny, huh?" he said glaring at her over his shoulder. "That was nothing like me."

"Sure…let's play a new game." Reese said.

"Truth or Dare?" Fiona asked.

"Sure." the others replied.
