Origin One- Sorry, this chapter should have been up last night, but the
floppy decided to suck. Yeah, I lost my whole hard copy along with a
second chapter after this one. Last time I trust my hard copy to a floppy
diskette. Anyway, I don't want to hold you all up so here is the next
chapter.
Ushi- Sama- Don't forget people! BACK UP ALL FILES! GO DO IT NOW! RAR!
Origin One- Ushi? Go home, just. go home.
Alia looked around the vehicle bay, hoping to get a glance of X through the hustle and bustle of the Maverick Hunters that were there. It had been half an hour since she was told to meet X and was starting to worry. If this was a trick by X, she thought, then I'll KILL him.
"Alia!" a voice called from behind her.
Alia turned around to see Douglas coming towards her. "Finely I found you! I was starting to think that you had left!" He called out. Finely getting to her he grabbed her hand and started pulling her towards a private vehicle bay.
"Hold on, where are you taking me?" she asked.
"To X, where else!" Douglas replied. "And we really shouldn't keep him any longer."
"Why is X in that bay? What does he have planned?" Alia asked, looking towards the door.
"I can't tell you, I promised not to." Douglas replied.
Before Alia could ask Douglas another question he opened the door personnel door and shoved Alia through. "Have fun Alia!" he said as he closed the door.
Alia looked around the empty bay for X. Finely she saw his waving and standing next to some grav cycles. She quickly headed over to him.
"There you are, I was starting to think that you wouldn't show up!" X called as she walked over.
Finely getting to X she frowned. "So, would you like to explain to me why you left me after lunch spouting something about a better idea and then having me come to a crowded vehicle bay only to wander for a half hour before I was found by Douglas and brought to you?"
X laughed. "Don't worry, this will be worth it. You wanted to ride a grav bike again, right?"
Alia nodded, "Yeah, it was fun."
X smiled. "Good, because I got Signis to let us take out these grav cycles until 8 tonight."
Alia started to smile when she realized what X had said. "Wait, what do you mean let US take out THESE grav CYCLES?" she said before X's idea dawned on her. "OOOOOHHH No, OOOOHHH no no no. I am NOT driving one of those."
"Oh, come on. It'll be fun!" X said as he took Alia by the hand and started to lead her toward the grav cycles.
"No way, uh uh. I'm not driving one X, you can't make me." Alia said as she started to resist X's pull.
"Come on, you'll enjoy it!" X said, pulling harder.
Alia pulled her hand from X's. "NO! I PROMISED MYSELF THAT I WOULD NEVER DRIVE ONE AFTER LAST NIGHT!" she screamed, her eyes tearing up. "I WONT DO IT! I wont! I just wont! You understand don't you?" she said as she burst out in tears.
X frowned and took Alia in his arms. "Ok, you win. Would you like to have me drive you around though?" Alia didn't reply. "I'll take that as a yes then."
Alia felt herself being picked up into X's arms as he started to walk. She put her head one his shoulder and closed her eyes. Soon she could feel X putting her down on the seat of a grav cycle, but she refused to open her eyes, that is until she felt X, from behind her, put her hands on the handle bars of the grav cycle. Her eyes snapped open as the cycle started up and zoomed out of the bay door.
Alia went stiff, she was again in the front of a grav cycle, driving down the road at high speeds with X leaning on her back. Just the time it was still light out and X was holding her hands tightly. She couldn't believe what X had done to her. He had conned her into getting onto a grav cycle and into driving it. But she felt different this time. She felt more calm knowing X was there watching her, and even more calm knowing X was holding her hands tightly. About 5 minutes later Alia slowed the cycle down and pulled off to the side of the road. X removed his arms and got up. Alia also got off the cycle and looked at X.
"See, that wasn't so bad, now was it." X said smiling.
That was the last straw. Alia drew back her hand and slapped X. She then turned and started to walk back toward the base.
X stood in disbelief. He hadn't expected her to take it as hard as she had. "Alia wait!" he yelled as he ran toward her.
Alia turned around. "What now? Do you want to abuse our trust anymore today? Or maybe you want to just kiss and make up huh?"
"No," replied X, "no, your right, what I did was wrong and I shouldn't have forced you to do it."
"Well to bad, I wont let you just make up like th- wait, what did you say?"
X looked at her "You absolutely right, what I did was pig headed and stupid."
Alia looked at him. "Really?"
X nodded. "Yes, really. But I want you to know something. You did great."
Alia blushed. "Really really?"
X nodded a second time. "Really really. It may not have been perfect, but no one gets it right on there first try. well, Zero and I did, but no one else."
Alia looked into X's eyes. "Your just pulling my leg."
X laughed. "Do you see my energy signature spiking?*"
Alia shook her head. "Nope, not at all." She smiled and kissed X lightly.
X smiled. "What do you say I take you out to she the area, grav cycle style. We still have 5 hours left."
Alia nodded. "But on one condition. You teach me to drive."
