And UPDATE on Something or Someone! - So a lot of reviews on that story are asking me to make it into a chapter story. The original purpose I wrote that was to be a One-Shot between Lucas and Skye for this story. He says to her that she owes him for later because he let Josh free. BUT! I might be willing to create a seperate story line off of it if and only if you guys really want me to... I don't want to confuse anyone by combining the first chapter of Something or Someone with this story. But if you guys really want me to, I'll try to be as clear as possible that the first chapter of Something or Someone is a One-shot to help understand this story AS WELL AS the first chapter to a completely seperate story with a different storyline. Mmkay? So lemme know what you guys want and I'll think about it. K thanks! Sorry that was so long! Now you guys can read the story.

"K-kiss you?" Skye stammered. She stood up quickly and took a shaky step back. "No!"

Lucas glared at her, "I held up my end of the bargain! You need to as well!"

"I never agreed to anything!" She spat at him.

Lucas rose to his feet in a flourish of anger, "I told you my dream! Now you either can tell me yours or you can kiss me!"

Skye hissed through clenched teeth, "And what if I do neither?"

Lucas's eyebrows rose. She was right. He had nothing against her at that moment. The genius had been outsmarted by this foolish girl. But then a thought occurred to him. His lips curved into an evil smirk. "Well, Bucket." He took a confident step toward her, "Why not kiss me? You have nothing to lose here. Or why can't you tell me what you dreamt about me? Hm? What kind of dream was it? I'm sure that it couldn't have been one about you killing me, considering you saved my life. What else could it have been about, really? Are you afraid to kiss me because you're afraid the dream will come back?"

Skye's eyes widened. He had her cornered. "I'm not kissing you and I'm not telling you about my dream."

There was a flash of anger and irritation in Lucas's eyes. She could almost see steam coming out of his ears. He suddenly started to stalk over to her at a quick pace. She could only gasp as his hand came up behind her neck and his fingers went into her hair. She was jerked forward slightly and the next thing she knew, his lips were crashing down on hers. She could only stand dumbfounded for the few seconds as his lips overtook hers. As quickly as the kiss started, it ended and Lucas pulled away. He pressed his forehead to hers and his hand stayed on her now-heated neck. She caught her breath as well as himself and he looked into her eyes. Her wonderful eyes that he could get lost in. She was the only thing his genius mind couldn't work out.

His breath brushed a strand of hair from her face and he suddenly jerked away and started limping back toward the log he was previously sitting on. The actions of the moment aggravated his wounds and pain seared through his chest. "Now was that so hard?" He asked, his voice edged with irritation.

Skye stayed standing in a daze for a few more moments before she came back to reality. "What the hell was that?" She spat venomous words.

Lucas didn't look at her, "I was making sure you kept your end of the bargain, Bucket."

"Don't call me that!" She shouted. Anger evident in her tone.

Lucas finally looked at her, "I will call you what I please."

She glared at him, and if looks could kill, Lucas would have been dead a long time ago. She stormed over to her bag and yanked it open. She ripped out Hunter's shirt and threw it at him. "Here. Put it on. I'm tired of seeing you shirtless." She zipped the bag shut and threw it back over her shoulder and left the clearing without another word.

The next morning, Skye was dead tired. When she'd gotten home that night she still couldn't sleep and she was angry. She'd gotten up earlier than usual and couldn't think of anything to do. She left the house briskly and walked down the street. It was nearly empty except for a few soldiers going in for duty that day. She found herself in front of Taylor's hut and decided that it would be best to see him. She climbed the stairs and went inside. He was sitting at the chess table, looking out the window, seemingly lost in thought.

"Taylor." She said, coming to sit across from him.

"Skye." He greeted her, but didn't move his eyes away from the window.

They were silent for a few more moments before the Commander spoke again, "Where do you think he is?"

Skye's eyebrows rose. "He?"

Taylor shifted a little in his seat, "Lucas."

Skye felt her stomach twist. Last time he'd question her about anything here he'd known she was going OTG and helping the Sixers. "I don't know, sir. I'm sure he's dead."

Taylor laughed quietly, "He's too smart to die."

Skye nodded quietly, biting her lip in a nervous fashion.

Taylor finally looked at her, "What was your relationship to him while he was here?"

"Uh..." Skye froze up, "Well..."

Taylor searched her face, "If you don't want to talk about it, you don't have to."

Skye shook her head, "N-no. I will. I just don't know where to start..."

"Some of the other colonists say that he had a soft spot for you. Is that true?" Taylor asked.

Skye nodded, "Yeah. He definitely has a thing for me." She said quietly.

"Has?" Taylor asked and Skye felt her heart nearly stop.

She fought for a practical answer and blurted out the first thing that came to her mind, "Yes, considering he's still alive out there. But I shot him, so I doubt that he has any feelings for me anymore." She forced a laugh awkwardly.

Taylor nodded, "Did he... You know, touch you?"

Skye bit her lip and nodded. "Only a few times though. Josh kinda saved me and kinda cost me."

Taylor's eyebrows rose, demanding an explaination.

"Well," Skye started. "Lucas was at the bar and he was touching my face and holding my hand. I was asking him to let me go and I guess Josh just couldn't hold back. He came over and punched Lucas. Of course, Lucas's men held Josh down while Lucas..." Skye fought for words to explain what she'd seen. She skipped over that part and continued, "I went for Mr. Shannon and he came back and tried to save his son. But the Pheonix people just took him too and Lucas ordered them all to the brig. I knew that Lucas was going to kill Josh. I knew he was." Tears were brimming her eyelids now and she wiped her hand across her face in attempt to get rid of them.

She took a shaky breath and didn't look at the Commander. He just listened intently, a soft look on his face. Skye continued. "I had to help him, so I went to go see Lucas. I asked him what he was going to do to Josh and Mr. Shannon." She looked around the room and her eyes settled on the spot where she'd asked him that very thing. "He said that Josh was disposable. I didn't know what to do at that point. I wanted to plead to him not to kill Josh. But then, he said that he wouldn't if something or someone could convince him otherwise."

Something flickered in the Commander's eyes. He just watched as Skye struggled to continue, respecting her strength to tell what had happened here. "I knew he was referring to me," Skye was nearly whispering now. "I thought he was going to hurt me or something. But he didn't. I didn't do anything. He just said I owed him for later and he let Josh go.." She drew another shaky breath.

Taylor nodded sympathetically. He reached out a hand and lent it on her shoulder, "He's gone now, Skye. You shot him. He may still be alive out there in the jungle, but I promise you'll never have to face him again if you don't want to."

Skye shook her head, "I'm strong enough to face him now that I've shot him. But I hope that I never will have to.."

Commander Taylor smiled at her and nodded, "Well you're taken now, so he will never have to lay another hand on you."

Skye gave the commander a confused look. "Taken?"

Taylor snickered, "You and Josh? Oh come on, the entire colony knows what is going on between you two. There's been quite a bit of gossip going around about you two kissing yesterday in the middle of the market."

Skye blushed, but another feeling of guilt washed through her. Why was she feeling guilty all of a sudden? She'd always liked Josh, shouldn't she be thrilled?

Taylor just watched her face for a few more seconds before he clapped his hands, shaking her out of her thoughts. "One quick game of chess before starting the day?"

Skye nodded enthusiastically. "Deal." But yet again, she was black.

Okayyy! :D Well I thought that this chapter went rather nicely even though I kinda got stuck at the middle. I wasn't sure who I wanted to write at that moment:P But I think I did well enough. Don't you think?

THEY KISSED!:D sorta... Would you count that? Or would you guys only count the real thing? So uhhm, the next couple of chapters are probably going to drag a little on fluff. I know you guys are dying for some fluff and action, but the next three chapters or so are going to build up suspense, drama, tension, and most importantly conflict. I promise that the fluff WILL pick up. Patience is key right now. By Christmas or by Monday, the fluff should start coming back into the story:) Just keep reviewing and I'll write faster! Pinkie swear!:D

And yeah, don't forget to leave a review about the chapter and whether or not I should continue Something or Someone. I kinda brought that story up in this chapter, and I hope those of you who have read it, you caught on:) So thanks guys! I hope I get lots of reviews!
