Part 3. Read and Review please.

When she's scared:

Luna was the strongest girl anyone had ever met. Only the people closest to her were the ones that knew what she feared. Except for Shinn.

It was after a hard battle in his Impulse when it happened. Shinn was with Rey in the changing rooms, removing their pilot suits, when they both heard an ear-piercing, blood-curdling, feminine scream echo from the other room. Shinn's hair prickled on his neck.

He knew that voice.

"Luna!?"

He bolted out of the change room, his pilot suit still half on. Not even caring that it was the woman's change room he was entering, he ran around desperately, calling out Luna's name.

"Luna! Where are you?!"

Luna looked up from where she was.

"Shinn?"

He rounded the corner, past all the lockers, and spotted a head of magenta hair.

"Luna!" Shinn exclaimed. He jogged up to her. "What's wrong, are you hurt, are you okay?!" He ran his hands up her arms to check for any bumps scratches or bruises. She would've blushed if she wasn't frightened half to death right now. She shook him off.

"It's not me! It's that!" She pointed down. Shinn's gaze followed and his eyes landed on an averaged sized daddy longlegs. He looked at her again, but this time with a this-is-what-you-were-screaming-about expression.

"YOU WERE SCREAMING ABOUT THIS!?" he yelled. "I THOUGHT YOU WERE DEAD!"

"LOOK AT IT!" Luna replied hysterically. "IT'S HUGE!! Just kill it please!" she begged.

He groaned. Bending down he picked up the spider with his bare hands. He smiled, thinking he would have a little bit of fun with all the trouble she caused him. Shinn dangled the spider in front of her face, causing another earth-shattering scream to be released.

"Stop it, stop it!!" she shrieked, covering her face with her hands.

"Okay, okay, just stop screaming!" Shinn walked over to the toilet stall, dropped the spider in, and flushed it down the toilet before it had any ideas of escaping. He looked around, and realized that he was in the woman's change room, with Luna. He slapped his hand to his forehead, wondering what someone would think if they walked in here right now, with his pilot suit half off. He walked up to her.

"There, happy?" he said.

She slapped him across the face. Hard.

"Ouch! What the hell was that for!?"

"You idiot! What do you think?!"

"You're the one that started screaming over a fricken spider!"

She crossed her arms. "Hmph."

The two didn't say anything for awhile, till Shinn looked over at her, and noticed that she was only half dressed, without her gray stockings on. He blushed and cleared his throat.

"Umm…Luna, why are you half dressed?" Her face instantly blazed to a dark shade of crimson.

"You pervert! Why are you looking there!?"

"It's your legs!"

She hastily put her stockings on. After she finished getting dressed she looked at his unzipped pilot suit.

"I could say the same for you."

"I would have been dressed if I didn't have to run all the way and save you from the death spider."

She looked down, embarrassed.

"I was so scared," he whispered quietly.

Luna's head snapped up, taken aback.

"What?" she said.

"I thought you were badly hurt, or I had lost you forever…" he shut his eyes, as if against the thought. Shinn boldly strode up to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Don't scare me like that ever again!" he said.

She returned his embrace, whispering in his ear. "I'm sorry. I'm still here Shinn."

He tightened his hold on her, as if she would slip away at any moment from his grasp. He would make sure nothing would ever scare again.

"Don't worry Luna,"

"Huh?"

"I won't let anything hurt you," he said. She smiled.

"I won't let anything hurt you either.

When they walked out of the change room, they heard smirks and giggles from every direction.

"So Shinn, what were you doing with my sister huh?" Meyrin inquired.

He looked surprised. "What do you mean?"

"You only have your pilot suit half off," said Vino.

Everyone in the room roared with laughter, except for Luna and Shinn.

They groaned, bracing themselves for what Talia would say when she found out this piece of juicy gossip.

Protect her.

A/N: Part of this story was based on my own recent experiences, when I was putting on make-up, and in the corner of my eye I saw something moving. Turn's out it was a FREAKIN HUGE daddy long legs, and I think I screamed so loud, some windows must have broken. Well that's it for now, and if you're wondering, my SEED Destiny Secondary fic chapter 7 is on it's way. So be patient people!
