Just two more chapters left, so I could get started on 'Moody Meets Her Match'. I know about the story not being faithful being related to the series nor the movies, but that's just me, I tried to write an eppy and it sucked, yes, if your guessing the first fic... yes I agree that sucked... I even reviewed myself saying that it sucked... okay now that's over here's chapter 14!

Chapter 14

Back To The Present

Era and Gantu were at a very familiar place. Gantu's ship. Excited as a two year old, Gantu ran around to see if everything was in place, but most importantly he was now wondering about 625. Era looked at him to see if he was ready.

'' Are you going to speak to 625?'', Era asked.

'' Where is he? Is he above the ship?'', Gantu asked.

'' Most likely... I think he's thinking about his past...''

'' Well, things aren't going to be so easy.''

'' Come...''

Then they both went up to the second floor of the ship. Now Gantu was only a few feet away from the window, and close towards 625. Gantu let out a shaky breath.

'' What?'', Era asked.

'' This is so much harder then yelling and arguing, as we usually do...''

'' He'll listen...''

'' Think so?''

'' If he's been so quiet for most of the day... he'll listen.''

'' Well it is dark outside...''

'' Go on... I'll stay over here so you two could talk.''

'' Okay...''

Gantu walked towards the circular window, letting out another shaky breath,'' This is so much different then arguing, but it's got to be done.''

He slowly opened the window letting his head out, and looking to his left, to find a lonely 625 staring at him.

'' Hey...'', Gantu blew gently.

625 looked down, before looking back at the sky, with no reply. That wasn't going to convince Gantu to give up so easily.

'' What are you doing here all by yourself for?''

Then a reply...'' No reason'', 625 shrugged.

'' You never do this before, come into the ship. I made peanut butter and honey sandwiches...''

625 had to think that this was a lie. He looked at Gantu to see if it was really true, if so how id he know that it was one of his past favorites, so he rarely ate any, trying to push back his past memories of Flora, the only person in the universe that really cared for him to begin with.

625 looked away, not wanting anything to eat at the moment since his stomach dropped thinking about those past sandwiches.

'' What's wrong? You look so lonely out here.''

'' Gantu? Why are you talking to me?''

'' I'm just trying to pick up conversation.''

'' It's not working.''

'' Yes it is.''

Then there was silence. 625 sighed, as a chill went down his spine.

'' Are you remembering something?'', Gantu asked.

'' No.''

'' You don't remember anybody special?''

'' Um... no.''

This was causing 625 become nervous. Emotions that he was never used to revealing to anyone were being heard through his voice. He wanted to jam his bottled up emotions up into himself again, but unfortunately it was not working, no matter how much 625 tried to hide it. Then his past memories started to come to him. Pain from his past was bothering him greatly, anymore questions that would remind him of his past, would cause the little sandwich maker to do something he always hated to do... cry.

'' I've never tried a peanut butter and honey sandwich before, you think that you could make one?''

625 clenched his teeth together... not again... He turned away. Gantu saw that 625's eyes were brimming with tears, results he never meant to happen.

'' Hey, don't cry...''

'' I'm not crying...'', 625 said, his voice breaking.

Then 625 shuffled away from Gantu and to the other side of the ship along the edge. Fortunately there was a window at that side. Gantu took his head out of the side that he was and opened the window at the other side to find 625 curled up.

'' Aww, let me see you for a sec. I wanna... know if you're okay.''

He didn't see 625's face, but he did hear a soft yet audible whimper from him.

'' Do you miss anybody?''

625 sniffled,'' Why do you care?''

'' Because well... it's sad to see you like this.''

'' Humph!''

Gantu put out his finger and rubbed 625's back,'' Come on...''

'' No!''

'' I don't want to leave you outside on a cold night like this... come inside.''

'' I don't wanna.''

'' I bet you're thinking about Flora aren't you?''

625 gasped, how did he know that?

'' Come on!''

625's face fell them more tears slid from his face, he covered himself with his arms and began to cry, audibly.

Gantu scooped up 625 into his hand and his poor sidekick was still crying in the palm of his hands,'' I think you know who Flora is...''

625 sniffled,'' No...''

'' Yes you do. You wouldn't be crying if I haven't said her name.''

'' Well... I know her... I just wanna see her again.''

Era heard those words and had an idea in mind. She hastily left the ship and ran out into the cold outdoors, leaving 625 and Gantu alone.

'' I had a feeling you were missing somebody... you seemed so sad.''

'' I was just remembering something...''

'' Flora...?''

'' Hmm?''

'' Yeah...''

'' Was that person special to you?''

'' Yeah, she was the only person that cared for me.''

'' That's not true, I care for you too.''

625 took a glance at Gantu. Was he really telling the truth? He never considered Gantu to care for him, after being shot, shouted, and injured, he never thought that Gantu would have the heart to care for him. 625 decided to trust Gantu, no matter how big a jerk he was to him.

625 got up and stumbled to gantu's thumb and hugged him. He was so small that he couldn't hug Gantu normally a regular person would. Gantu could see that 625 cares for him too, and he wouldn't want anything to happen to his companion. The Gantu almost forgot about Era.

'' 625 wait, this is the experiment that I-...'', gantu said, but stopped.

They saw nobody standing in front of them. They were the only people in the ship.

'' What are you talking about G?'', 625 replied.

'' But she was here...''

'' Maybe you were seeing things.''

'' Maybe she left.''

'' Huh?''

'' We'll see her again someday.''

'' But I never met her. Who are you talking about G?''

'' Just a friend 625... Just a friend...''

'' What friend?''

'' I'll tell you when we go downstairs, and tell you what I saw with her...''

Then Gantu was about to go downstairs as 625 was sitting in the palm of his hands. Little that they knew Era was about to show a lonely experiment a past surprise...

TBC...

One chapter more to the secret power... that's all to say...
