A/N: I'm glad that you all like this story. It was kinda a spur of the moment thing. Anyway...I thought I'd give you a little taste of how Oriah really feelsabout Atton. I've taken some lines from the actual game and put them in different parts...just to let you know. This is also the first time I've done flashback using first person...so bear with me. Enjoy the happiness for now...cause it's gonna get real bad, real fast as Atton would say.

Disclaimer: I do not own Star Wars or KotOR II.

Chapter 2

Sometimes I wonder about Atton. I mean, he's an alright guy once you get used to him. But then he will go and do something extremely stupid and dangerous...like he doesn't care about his own life and safety. Other times he will just stand back and let me or someone else risk our lives fighting while he watches or does something else. I remember the one time...

(Dantooine)

"Atton get over here! These damn laigreks are getting the best of us!" I had yelled to him.

"What? You need my help? But you have Mical to help you!"He had taunted.

"Atton Rand...you are such a...oh crap."

More laigreks rounded the corner and immediately charged both me and Mical. There were about seven...seven to three...not good odds.I looked over at Atton who continued to sulk in the corner. Make that seven to two.

"Atton, if you don't get over here right now...I'm gonna..." I finished cleanly slicing a laigrek in half.

"Gonna what?" He teased.

"You don't want to know." I shot him a breif look that said I meant business.

"I suppose I could help you out...for a price." He grinned mischeiviously.

"Excuse me, Oriah? I really don't think this is the time..." Mical began to say.

"Name it."

"A kiss."

"Go to hell, Rand."

"Ouch. Fine, I guess I deserved that. I'll settle for some new blasters..." He hinted.

"Deal. Now get over here...now!" I ducked to avoid another attack from the laigrek.

"Happily."Atton smiled.

(present time)

Other than those few times where he was a jerk...he wasn't have bad. Besides, I guess he did lighten the mood on occasion. Especially that one time on Dxun...

(In the Ebon Hawk on Dxun)

We had just survived another of Atton famous 'landings' and we were all plotting what to do. With the exception of Atton, whom I could only guess had been thinking up more of those ridiculous pickup lines he used on me.

I had not been feeling ver good since landing on Dxun. There had always been that dark presense that emenated the planet. Not to mention, that I could still remember all the bloody deaths that had occured on that moon. I'm guessing that Atton knew I was slightly upset and that is why he decided to do something about it.

"Something up?" He had asked casually like he always did.

"Nothing, nevermind." I answered. usually he would just stop talking to me after that...but not this time.

"You sure?"

"Yes."

"Positive?"

"Yes."

"Absolutely positively..."

"Yes! Now is there a point to this, Atton? Cause if there isn't I'd like to get to work..."

"There is a point to this."

"And it would be?"

"Hey! Can't a guy ask you if you're alright?"

"Atton, no offense, but I know you better thaan that. You want me to play pazzak, Nar Shaddaa rules, don't you!"

"Yes...er, but not right now." He raised his eyebrow. "Unless you want to play..."

"Ew! No, of course not." I look back now and think that part of me had wanted to play Nar Shaddaa rules with him. But I would never admit that to him, nor anyone else for that matter.

"Hey...it was worth a try..."

"Get to the point, Atton."

"The point is that...well, I'm worried about you." Hearing that coming from Atton made me forget about my worries and start laughing.

"Ok, what do you really want?"

"Hey! I'm being serious here!" He said genuinly.

"Oh...sorry. It's just..." I started laughing again. " When did you suddenly become sympathetic?"

"Don't give me that...I was just asking how you're doing. Sheesh!"

Seeing Atton get upset made me laugh all the more.

"I bet you would take Mical seriously..." He mumbled softly under his breath. He had thought I didn't hear him. He was wrong.

"I knew it! you're jealous of Mical, aren't you!"

"Me? No way! I am not jealous of overzealous jedi!"

"Yeah right...admit it. I've seen you spying on me and Mical when we meditate."

He had pointed to himself and mouthed the words ' who me?'

"Yeah you...did you forget that there are security cameras around this ship?"

He smiled evily. "Of course I didn't forget."

It all clicked in at that point.

"You have not been..." He looked away. "Atton Rand! How could you! How long have you...where have you..."

"You know you are pretty hot when you get mad..." I had stared at him unbelievably. "And all those other times..."

He raised his eyebrow and looked me over.. "I'm gonna kill you..."

"As much as I'd love to stick around for my punishment, I have really got to get back to the cockpit..."

(present time)

Yup. That was Atton for you. Yet in my own way...I think I do have more feelings than I'm willing to admit for that scoundrel. I mean he's sweet, and funny...not to mention chraming when it suits him. He is pretty cute, too. Is this what love feels like? Because if it is...

Than I'm in love with Atton Rand...

A/N: But can she admit it to Atton? Anyway, review if you like it or have suggestions. Also, I'm thinking about doing Atton's point of view. What do you think? If you want me to i'll do the next chapter in Atton's point of view. If not...I'll probably just continue with Oriah's view or maybe third person. I can't decide...ANYWAY...I'm rambling so...REVIEW PLEASE!
