Chapter 2: Beautiful Disaster?

I wearily opened an eye. All I remember is going to a planet called Snow-something but it was a trap set by Mandarin II. Then an avalanche and Nova shoulder barging me. I felt a tweak in my shoulder. Man she pushed hard.

I opened the other eye to take a proper look around. As I tried to get up my body felt stiff and freezing cold! I noticed as I breathed out my breath steamed up, like it does on a really cold morning.

I looked at the walls….wait walls? i must be in that cave that was behind me when the avalanche started. But anyway the walls were frozen solid. The ice zigzagging out the wall. The floor was a dull grey, the soil of which once stood here had frozen and died.

My body temperature was slipping, I could feel it. Nova will hate this. Wait Nova! I had completely forgotten about her, my bad. I turned round and looked down. She was flat out on the floor. She looked so lifeless… what if she's…..dead? I collapsed at her side onto my knees.

She was lying face down. Tears rimmed my eyes and threatened to fall. I felt like one of the only things I stood for was leaving me. I looked at her back, to scared to look at her face. It was slowly, very slowly rising and falling. She was alive!

Nobody had to know about that little incident, especially not Nova. I didn't want to leave her there; she would get a….neck cramp? Whatever. I wiped the tears from my eyes, (To get rid of the evidence) and grabbed her under the arms.

I couldn't put her against the wall; I mean they were practically all ice! It was then I noticed the considerably large amount of snow blocking the entrance. One word came to mind, although I won't repeat it. I looked over the situation.

I was Snowbound in a cave with Nova, Heh I've had worse. I mean out of all the team i could think of worse to get stuck with. I mean think about being with Gibby 24/7! Scary thought.

I remembered I still had Nova in my arms. I gently leaned her against a rock. I sat opposite her. I couldn't help but stare at her beauty. I always hinted, flirted and showed off to get her attention. But she never seems to get the fact I love her with all my heart.

I guess I will never be able to take her in my arms, whisper in her ear and maybe kiss her?

I heard a mumble and broke out of my thoughts. It was Nova, she was coming round.

My head hurt something awful as I struggled to open my eyes. I instantly felt my body temperature drop, rapidly. My sight un-fuzzed and I saw Sprx grinning at me. ! I remember now, there was an avalanche and…and, yeah.

At least he was ok. I looked around; it was like my worst nightmare. There was ice everywhere. Holy Shugazoom! The flaming cave entrance was blocked by snow! Wait I was snowed into a cave with Sparky of all people! Great I stuck in a cave with my blooming crush, with no means of escape!

"Hey Nova you ok?" he asked. Quick blurt out anything!

"Yeah fine, err Sprx I'm just going for a walk, ya know to clear my head, I'll be back in a minute."

Whew, it's hard enough living with him. But now stuck in a cave with him? I have to think this out.

I get up of the icy cold floor. As I get up to walk away I see a flicker of…..sadness? cross his eyes. Could he possibly like me that way to……No he couldn't? Besides he doesn't flirt with me cuz of that does he?

As I walk down the tunnel my thoughts where plagued with him only. I always thought he flirted with me because that's who he is… I look back; I seem far enough away from him. So I do the only thing I can think of when I'm confused….sing.

She said she was going for a walk. I guess I was a little disappointed. I really wanted to spend this time with her. Then I heard something. It sounded like…singing? I guess its Nova. I wanted to hear her sing so picking myself off the floor I walked towards the source of the sound.

As I got closer I listened to her words. It was like an angel singing.

He drowns in his dreams
An exquisite extreme I know
He's as dumb as he seems
And more heaven than a heart could hold
And if I try to save him
My whole world could cave in
It just ain't right
It just ain't right

Oh when I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

His magical myth
As strong as with I believe
A tragedy with
More damage than a soul should see
And do I try to change him
So hard not to blame him
Hold on tight
Hold on tight

Oh cuz I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

I'm longing for love and the logical
But he's only happy hysterical
I'm waiting for some kind of miracle
Waited so long
So long

He's soft to the touch
But afraid at the end he breaks
He's never enough
And still leaves more than I can take
Oh cuz I don't know
I don't know what he's after
But he's so beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster
And if I could hold on
Through the tears and the laughter
Would it be beautiful?
Or just a beautiful disaster

He's beautiful
Such a beautiful disaster

When she finished she turned around to face me. A line of pink trails across her nose.

"Sprx….i didn't know you where listening to me." She said. Man her blush made her look cute.

"Heh I wondered if you erm, wanted someone to walk with?" well I messed that up.

"Sure" she said before walking deeper into the cave. I followed her, we would worry about our situation later.
