-shot-

I am so sorry. I wanted to update yesterday SOOO BADLY but I couldn't. The thing is, I had been having severe stomach pains and I thought I was like... dying. So I made my mom come get me and take me to the hospital. O.o It was horrifying. I freaking hate hospitals. -shakes fist at hospital-

Turns out, I'm fine. I just had to 'flush my system' I guess... But I wasn't allowed to do anything the rest of the day and as soon as I got home, my mom was practically shoving sleep medication down my throat after dumping a freaking gallon of water into me to help me once again 'flush my system'! God! SUCKY DAY.

Anyway, that is the reason I didn't get to update. So yeah... I'm sorry guys! D: At least I didn't forget!

And I couldn't help but notice how many new Lucas and Skye fics there are!:D I'm so happy! People are beginning to see the chemistry!:D

I dedicate this chapter to Theseriousjedi and x-soundeffects! You guys are awesome and you deserve this. :) x-soundeffects, I loved your review lots:)

Skye barely had time to turn around before his lips were upon hers. Arms circled themselves around her waist. A tongue brushed against her lips. Suddenly realized what was happening she yanked herself away, pushing him away with enough force that she stumbled backward and fell on the ground. She fought for her breath and whirled her head around herself in an alarmed way.

"Skye!" There was his voice again. It was right beside her. The world seemed to be blurred as she swung her head to try and focus on who was saying her name. "Skye! Are you okay?"

She felt her heartbeat had risen and she still looked around wildly. What was going on. Suddenly it seemed like everyone had run up and were crowding her. So many people were saying her name, reaching out hands to help her up but she couldn't seem to focus on any of the faces around her.

Suddenly she heard a shout. "Everyone leave Skye alone!" It was definitely a woman by the sound of her voice. Everyone started to back off as she continued to shout. "She needs air. She's scared and probably in some sort of trauma. Get away."

Dr. Shannon was in front of her now. All the people around her were far back by now. Only Josh remained beside her.

"Josh. That means you too." Dr. Shannon said sternly.

"But Mom-" Josh began.

"But nothing. Skye needs medical attention right now and you're making her more anxious." Skye heard the doctor say. She saw Josh reluctantly stand and back away.

Skye looked over at doctor Shannon who was checking some of her vitals. "Dr. Shannon. I'm fine. It was just a little much at the moment. What I need is to go home and sleep it off."

"Absolutely not!" The doctor stopped checking her eyes at that point and looked at Skye incredulously. "Are you insane? You're on your way to becoming a doctor yourself, you should know by now that you need medical attention to be sure everything is stable."

Skye shook her head and stood up. "No. I know what is wrong with my body. I think I can handle this one on my own, Doctor. I'm sorry."

Skye began to turn away, but Dr. Shannon grabbed her arm. "Skye. You're coming to the clinic to get checked up on."

Skye shook her head groggiliy. Her mind was still hazy and she knew that she needed to think through everything before she began to bother about other things. "No, but thank you Dr. Shannon for your concern. I will come in for a check up when I think is necessary." Skye knew she was being incredibly rude and disrespectful to her mentor, but she was too distracted to care at the moment.

Dr. Shannon let go of Skye's arm and just looked at her for a moment, searching her face to see if she could find anything that could clue her in on what was going on with Skye. "Alright then. But promise me you will come in eventually."

Skye nodded half-heartedly. She knew that she probably never wil go in for that check up, but she tried to reassure the doctor. Skye shrugged away and headed for her house.

"Skye!" She rolled her eyes and swung around. She was almost to her house at this point and clearly wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone.

"You and I need to talk." The Commander was the one strolling up to her at an alarming pace. He stopped five or so feet in front of her.

"About?" Skye asked, her mind on other things. She knew she wasn't acting like herself but she didn't care. It was obvious what the Commander wanted to speak to her about, she was just making herself sound stupid. Her hands went to her hips in an annoyed fashion

Commander Taylor rolled his eyes at her. His hands went out into a shrug of sorts. "What happened while you were with Lucas?"

"Taylor," Skye started. "Can we talk about this some other time? I'm really tired and I need to think some things through before I go talking about it to people."

The Commander just stared at her for a moment before he shrugged at her. "You have until this time tomorrow. Then you'll have to come talk to me." Skye felt her heart sink slightly. What would she tell him? Everything? Or just parts of it? She shook her head groggily as she watched the Commander turn and start back toward his post. She turned to her house and went inside.

She flopped down onto her bed tiredly, still fully clothed in the same shirt and shorts she'd been wearing since Mira had found her and Lucas. She knew she should get up and change into her pajamas or take a much needed hot shower, but she just didn't have the energy at the moment. She willed sleep to come, but her mind was so busy going over the events of today and last night. Lucas had left her. Left her to go back to the place she didn't want to go back to. What was Lucas thinking when he scribbled down that little note and left it for her? He'd told her he loved her, but was that enough to account for what he'd done. He'd said it was his most magical night... She thought about the note for a few more minutes before suddenly her eyes snapped open and she shot up.

She'd left the note on the floor of the rover. What if someone saw it? Skye sucked in air as she fought for a plan. Before she could think of the entire plan, she'd dashed out of her house and was swiftly walking down the street toward the gates. What if it ended up in the Commander's hands? What would he think of her? What would he say? What would he do? She already knew he'd be disappointed.

There it was. The Sixers rover, being hauled back inside by a few soldiers so they could shut the gates. How was she going to get inside it to retrieve the note? She jogged over to the men and suddenly put her hands on the vehicle, shoving it forward with the other three men pushing it. They looked at her and she shrugged slightly as if offering to help, but in truth she was just searching the floor of the rover through one of the open doors of the rover. There it was. The crumpled paper rolling lazily over the floor of the rover. It was right next to the soldier she knew as Mark Reynolds. The rover was inside the gates by now and she took a quick step forward when she saw him reach down and pick up the paper. He looked at it's rumpled form for a few moments before moving to open it. Skye had no choice but to snake her hand over his shoulder and snatch it from his hands. He swung around and saw her stuffing it into her pocket.

"What is that?" He asked suspiciously.

"Nothing." Skye said sternly, she kept her eyes to the ground. She turned to walk away but he grabbed her arm. She huffed in irritation. How many people were going to grab her and demand stuff from her today?

"Skye. What's that paper?" He spoke again, his gaze meeting hers.

She held it defiantly, refusing to let up. "It's nothing that is of any importance to you. And Taylor doesn't need to know about it either."

Reynold's eyebrows went up. "It's that secretive?"

"No. I will just tell him in my own time. He doesn't need to figure it out by anyone else. Are we clear, soldier?" Skye spoke harshly. She was lying to him.

Mark hadn't nodded yes or no when a new voice cut in. "Skye? Is that you?"

Skye turned around to none other than Maddy Shannon. "Hey!" She forced herself to sound somewhat enthusiastic. "I was just asking Mark where you were so I could come discuss some wedding ideas I had thought up." The lie was so smooth coming out of her mouth.

Maddy slapped her arm playfully. "Forget wedding plans! I'm just so happy you're alright!" Maddy reached her arms out for a hug which Skye took up casually.

"Thanks." Skye mumbled. "I'm really tired. I think I will go home and sleep a while. But nice seeing you both!" Skye waved and walked back off to her house. She entered it at a quick pace and went straight to her room. She lifted her mattress, looking around herself just to be sure nobody could see her and stuffed the note underneath it. The hiding place would have to do until she found a better spot. Skye breathed out a sigh of relief. She was safe for the moment and she happily flopped back on her bed. She drifted off to sleep after a few more hours of thoughts.

How was that? :D... :)... :|... good? I hope... :P
