Disclaimer: I don't own Metal Gear Mr.Hideo Kojima does, but I do own Chris.

---------------------------------

Chris woke up with a blooming headache. She looked down at Raiden who was sleeping quietly. She moved off of him carefully so she would not to wake him up.

"Ouch! Note to self don't sleep on top of Raiden again." Chris rubbed her back and walked to the kitchen. She headed straight for the coffee machine and poured some for herself. As she did so she glanced over at the table and jumped ten feet up. "Ah...god Uncle Dave it's too early for your 'I'm so stealth' routine."

"Sorry just thought I'd be quiet for you and Raiden." Snake said taking a drink from his own coffee and looking at a newspaper.

Chris stopped making her coffee and looked at him, "It's not what you think it is."

"Really, then why is he here?" He folded the newspaper and set it down on the table.

She closed her eyes as her hair fell across her face and sighed, "I can't tell you. Not because I don't want to, it's just this is really personal to him and if Jack wants to tell you he can...himself" She added. Snake looked at her crossly. "Don't look at me that way! Nothing is going on between us."

Snake sighed and leaned onto the table, "You like him though, don't you?"

She smiled, "I can't like him."

"What? Why?"

"I can't like him because he fell in love with my friend." She whispered.

"Besides he's getting married, right?" Snake picked up his paper.

"Yeah sure, I think?" She said as walked to her bedroom to change.

---------------------------------

Raiden rolled over on the couch and sat up. His hands flew to his face, "What am I doing here? What the hell am I doing here?"

"Well I heard from a Crystal bird that you needed a friend?" Raiden jumped.

"Snake? What are you doing here?" He asked.

"I'm entitled to see my niece, aren't I?" Snake was sitting across from him in a recliner.

"Chris is your niece?" Raiden asked as he rubbed the sleep from his face.

"Yes and no." Raiden, as suspected, looked confused, "She's not biologically, but she is mentally and she says spritually. I accept it and so does everyone else."

"You said that you heard I needed a friend, did she tell you everything?"

Snake looked at Raiden seriously, "No. Chris said that if anyone would tell me it would be you, that is if you wanted to."

Raiden looked up Snake and tried to talk, but nothing came out. Snake watched him struggle, "Listen, Raiden, when you're ready to talk to me, talk to me."

An akward silence fell between them and as if on cue Chris walked into the room. Raiden had never seen her looked so relaxed.

She was wearing a white shirt with a denim blue jacket and low ride blue jeans. "Oh good you're up. I need your help with something."

Raiden stood up, "Me? With what?"

"It's a surprise. Get cleaned up we'll be leaving in twenty minutes." She smiled a walked into the kitchen.

Raiden sighed and looked at Snake, who smiled and said, "I know, I know, why is she always so happy? I'm sorry I don't know the answer."

--------------------------------

Twenty minutes later Raiden was clean and was walking into the kitchen.

Chris looked up and blushed when she saw him wearing a black muscle t-shirt and blue jeans.

"It's a little awkward seeing you in regular clothes." Chris laughed.

"You too, I only see you in your uniform most of the time." Raiden retorted.

"Are you hungry? I can get you something before we leave." She asked as he took a seat at the table.

"Ah no thanks, but some coffee would be nice." Chris stood up and poured him a cup. "Chris, why didn't you tell Snake about Rose and I?"

She handed him his coffee, "What you told me last night was really personal, I thought if anyone should tell him it would be you. I guess I don't feel I have the right to."

"Oh. . .I think I understand." He finished his coffee.

"Uncle Snake we'll be back in a couple of hours!" She shouted as opened the door to leave.

"Okay." She heard in response.

Raiden grabbed his coat and asked again, "Where are we going?"

Chris smiled brightly, "It's a surprise." She walked out onto the busy sidewalk.

"Surprises that's all I need." Raiden rolled his eyes and walked after her.

That's all for today! Thanks for reading and please review.
