Reviews Greatly Appreciated! Also, this takes place after the Toppat King ending and it's the POV of Burt Curtis. Enjoy!
I was doing my computer work, checking for communication signals and attackers. I glanced up for a moment. I saw earth, and thousands of glittering stars. It was one of the most beautiful things I had ever seen. Space was kind of pretty, when you think about it. Seeing something so gorgeous makes my dull life seem a little brighter. But, what really makes my life brighter is Sven. What can I say about Sven... I love him! He's really nice and hard working. He's also my best friend, but I don't think he loves me back. He has a high ranking in the clan, too. I admire him, I really do. I could never get such a high ranking, though. I'm just a peasant to him. I finally stopped daydreaming and looked back down at my computer. No signals, no nothing. I sighed, bored as ever. It was just the same process everyday. I was about to look back up at the pretty view when I heard a hiss of my door opening behind me. "Hey Burt," It was the chief's right hand lady, Ellie. "you can take a break." She'd tell me. "Okay." I nodded. "Where's Sven?" I'd ask, I wanted to talk to him. "Cafeteria." Ellie would answer my question. "Thanks." I gave her a slight nod and stood as she walked off. I glanced at the view outside again. It was memorizing. That didn't really matter right now, I could go talk to Sven. I left the communications room and the door hissed behind me. I walked down to the cafeteria, and surely enough, Sven was sitting at one of the tables, staring at the view. I didn't blame him, the view was gorgeous. I walked over close to where he was sitting. "Hey Sven, view got your gaze?" I asked calmly. Sven was startled as he turned to me. "Oh, uh, yeah." He nodded. He glanced back at the window. "It's really pretty." He spoke as I sat down next to him. The window was bigger than the one in the communications room, and it had a better view of earth. There were even more stars on the thick blanket of endless darkness. Sven and I just stared at it. "You never really notice how pretty earth is until you're in space." Sven commented, glancing back at me for a moment. I nodded in agreement. The view of earth was amazing. "Utsikten är inte lika fantastisk som du." Sven said. I had no idea what that meant. Maybe it meant something about the view? I don't know, but God, it was so cute when he spoke Swedish. I don't know much Swedish, but I knew "fantastisk" probably meant something about liking something. Probably the view of earth. I blinked a few times. "Did you hear about the raid we're gonna host tomorrow?" Sven turned to me, probably trying to start a conversation. "No, I didn't." I admit. "I want to go, I haven't had a good thrill in awhile." Sven smiled. I just glanced at him. What if he got hurt? I don't want him to get hurt. "Burt, you should watch from here via camera. I'm gonna be wearing a headset for communication." Sven was looking at me with confidence and hope gleaming in his eyes. "I'm not sure if my headset will get a signal from so far away..." I trailed off. "Oh," Sven started. "that's okay! You should still be able to watch the raid!" His confidence went back up. How was he so bright on everything? I admired it. I'm just a dull, criminal communicator who wears a top hat and brown headphones, there's nothing special about me. I sighed. Sven looked at me with concern. "Something wrong, Burt?" He'd ask. I could feel my eyes widen a bit. "No, I'm good."
Sven hesitated. "Okay." He said. "Wheres the raid?" I asked. "Oh, its in a museum in Japan, apparently there's this expensive pearl there." Sven replied. "We suppose this museum has high security, so the chief decided to send some of the best members, including me! Haha!" Sven told me joyfully. I got worried even more. A high security museum? "I'm excited, I think the chief and his right hand lady are coming too. It's an honor!" Sven smiled at me. Sven wasn't like the other toppats, just there to do their jobs as toppat members, Sven had a high ranking, he was fifth-in-command. Plus, he was friendly, admirable, young, and courageous. He was a good member for the toppats. I'm just dull, as I've been told. I'm just not expressive! What's wrong with that? Do I have to show emotion to have them? I don't think so. It didn't matter, atleast I had Sven. Sven is the sun of my life.
"Burt? You okay?" I heard the Swedish toppat's voice. I snapped out of thought. "Yeah, I'm okay. I'm just thinking." I told him. "Oh, okay. What were you thinking about?" He asked me. If this was anyone else asking me, I would have said something like:
"None of your business."
But not to Sven.
"Just about the raid." I shrugged, lying. "You don't need to worry, Burt!" I felt Sven put his hand on my shoulder. "We'll all make it out alive!" He smiled at me warmly. I cracked a small smile. He was so confident! "Heh, your smiling." Sven said, moving his hand from my shoulder. I was about to deny and look away, but I didn't. "... Hah. Yeah, you got me." I admit defeatedly. My smile faded. Sven and I looked back at the view outside the window. "It's gonna feel strange going back to earth for once in awhile." Sven spoke. "I'm a little nervous, but not really." He'd admit. I glanced at him again. I'm worried too, even though he said not to. "Sven!" Someone called. Sven and I both turned. It was the previous chief, Reginald. "It's about 10:00 p.m. in earth time around our timezone, you should rest soon. Chief doesn't want anyone tired for the raid." He'd say. Wow, it's that late? Really? I must've been talking Sven for longer than I thought. Me and Sven exchanged glances. "He's right, Burt." He'd tell me. "Think I should-"
"You don't need to explain." I said. "Do what you think is best for you." I'd tell him. He gave me a warm smile again. "Thanks." He nodded and stood, walking off to the crew quarters. I watch him walk off and follow Reginald. I sighed and looked out the large window for a moment. It was still beautiful. I just hope that nobody gets hurt in the raid tomorrow, especially not Sven. What if Sven dies? I don't know what I would do without him, and I hope I don't have to find out.
