Chapter 6
9:30 am
Aridia's Space Ship
Some were in Oxzonian Galaxy
Ratchet woke up inside a pullout bed aboard the ship. Surprisingly, Ratchet had had an excellent sleep, better than he had in some time, despite the fact that at any moment guards could come in and have him executed. He looked over at Aridia; she slept in the bed across the small corridor, and one up from Ratchet. However, Ratchet soon discovered, (soon, meaning once his vision cleared) that it was not Aridia, but a mass of pillows. So a sleepy headed Ratchet got out of bed, changed, and headed for the kitchen. Once inside, he saw Aridia sharing a nice hot cup of Joccoto (that's a type of Coffee in this time) with none other than Sly cooper himself. As soon at Ratchet entered, Sly shot up, and looked ready to attack him. Ratchet quickly backed away, his hands in front of his chest, showing he was no threat. Sly calmed down, and began to speak,
"Sorry, I'm just a little edging, you know, with guards chasing me every which way." He cracked a smile at Ratchet.
"Um, Sly, this is Ratchet. Ratchet, this is Sly." Aridia said, thinking things would go smoother if they knew each other.
"Hey there." Ratchet said, still a little freaked from before.
"Ohhhh, Ratchet." Sly said finally understanding. "Welcome to the team buddy." He finished as he gave Ratchet a few friendly pats on the shoulder.
Ratchet didn't like that. It wasn't the fact that Sly was accepting him, that was great. It was that, this small gesture seemed to signify Ratchet's true descending into the life of a criminal. And Ratchet didn't want to be a criminal. Well, the life he had seen so far seemed great, but deep inside ratchet knew there must be parts he hadn't seen yet. Bad parts, like the parts when you get caught, and put back into jail.
"Uh, thanks." Ratchet said, unsurely.
