Nightmare
Chapter 8

Raya sat at her window. Though she could not see the snow covered mountains of Oban she seemed to gaze upon her own visions of the planet.
"Raya?"
Raya turned her head to see Nora's aura. It was gentle but Raya could sense Nora was worried.
"Raya dear you're still not upset with the prince are you?" Nora asked.
Raya did not reply. She had walked in on the argument between General Kross and Aikka that morning. She hugged her knees close to her chest as she remembered that morning…
Flashback…
Aikka looked away, the side of his face red where Raya had slapped him.
"Why Aikka! Why do you always do whatever the Crog's want!" She yelled.
"Raya you know what could happen if…"
Aikka caught Raya's hand this time. She was trembling and tears had fallen from her visionless eyes. It was rare that Raya became this angry.
"You care for her yet you're still willing to make such a decision?"
Aikka flinched slightly at the comment.
"You will only hurt yourself if she ends up hurt as a result of your actions Aikka!"
Nora suddenly walked into the room, "Prince Aikka it is time for the race."
Raya yanked her hand away from Aikka. She quickly walked back to her room.
End Flashbak
"Maybe I went to far…" Raya thought to herself as she rubbed the hand that had slapped Aikka.
"Why did I get so angry with him!"
Raya had never meant to get violent but after hearing Aikka agree to General Kross's demands something inside her snapped. She loathed Kross for more than a few reasons.
Raya sighed and moved her hand to a side table. The flower she had plucked from the Earth teams module lay wilted and dead.
Raya thought to herself, "A flower that can induce nightmares simply by breathing in its pollen. A flower only found on the Crog's planet."
She tossed the flower aside and raised her hands in front of her face. She could not see them nor did she believe she ever would.
The Crog's caused so much pain for the creatures throughout the universe.
"I'm sorry Aikka." Raya said quietly.
"There is no need."
Raya jumped startled by the sound of Prince Aikka's voice. She had not noticed that his aura had returned to the team's module.
She gazed upon the prince's aura. It held concern but at the same time happiness.
"Why are you so happy?" Raya asked.
"It appears as though the Earth team was the only one to score points during today's race. I kept my word to General Kross but it does not seem to have made a difference in the matter."
"Hey Molly's outside!" Raya said jumping up a big smile spread across her face.
Aikka suddenly felt cold. He did not wish to see Molly, for he knew how upset she must be.
"Wwwweeeee!" Raya said running out of the room.
There was a loud bang as Raya turned the corner to leave her room, "Damn wall!"
Molly stood outside the Naurasian module.
"Why am I here?" She asked herself.
Molly turned around and started to leave when suddenly someone hugged her from behind.
"Mmmmooolllyyyy!" Raya squealed happy that she was finally able to talk with Molly.
"H-Hi Raya." Molly said smiling.
"Long time no see! Well it's been especially long for me, get it?"
Molly started to laugh. Raya was always able to make her laugh.
"Hey Aikka get your butt out here!" Raya called turning her head to the module.
Molly's heart started to race inside her chest. She was nervous but at the same time she wanted to see Aikka.
Raya leaned down close to Molly's ear, "Hey don't be mad at Aikka, he never meant to hurt you or your team…well maybe that guy Jordan but that's beside the point."
Molly let out a small giggle as Raya let go of her. Suddenly Molly began to shiver; Raya had been so close that she had not noticed how cold it was.
"Out, out, out!" Raya commanded as she shoved Aikka out of the module.
Aikka looked at Molly and an awkward silence filled the air. Raya did not know how long the two had been standing there but in her mind it was long enough.
"For crying out loud you two kiss and make up already! Emphasis on the kiss!"
Raya smiled as she noticed the aura's glow from embarrassment. It had been so long sense she had been able to see this kind of aura or have this much fun.
"Ooops…" Raya said sarcastically as she shoved Aikka forward.
Raya was never able to realize her own strength. Aikka's face was completely red as he looked down at Molly. Raya had pushed him so hard that he had fallen on Molly.
Raya smiled as she noticed how close the two auras were.
"I said kiss and make up you two, not kiss and make out."
With those words said Raya ran back into her team's module; her insane laughter trailing behind.
"Raya's still as energized as ever!" Molly said finally breaking the silence.
Aikka smiled, "Yes, she is indeed."
Aikka stood up and held out his hand for Molly. Molly hesitated before she finally took the princes hand. It was so warm compared to hers.
"Molly…"
"W-What?"
"How long have you been out here?"
Molly blushed slightly, "Not long…why?"
"Your skin is cold." Aikka said with a look of concern on his face.
Molly looked away; she didn't even realize the prince was still holding her hand.
Suddenly a voice hissed out from inside the module, "Kkkkiiisssss hhheerrr…"
Aikka let go of Molly's hand and tried to turn away before Molly could see the blush on his face.
"Damnit!" Raya thought to herself as she spied on the two. "When am I going to have some real fun around here!"
Suddenly Raya's fox like smile spread across her face, a spark of mischief had just arose. Nora walked into the room just as Raya decided to leave.
"What is that girl up to now?" Nora asked herself.
Molly shivered a bit as the wind picked up. Although she was wearing a jacket it felt as though the wind was eating through it.
"Would you like to come inside?" Aikka asked with a gentle smile.
"That would help." Molly said with a smile.
The inside of the Naruasian module was not much different from her own; at least this is what she thought until she entered a room.
"Wow." Molly thought to herself.
The room was decorated in elegant tapestry. Molly remembered how plain her own team's module was in comparison to the Naurasian's.
"Huggle muffin!"
"Ack!" Molly cried startled by Raya.
"I thought it would be fun to be random." Raya said walking into the room with some clothes in her arms.
"What are those for?" Molly asked.
"You're soaked and it would be bad for the Earth team if their pilot became ill." Raya said with a smile.
Raya handed Molly the clothes, "Those should fit you!"
Suddenly Raya turned and gave Aikka her fox like smile, "Aikka…?"
"What is it Raya?"
"Are you waiting for a strip show?"
Aikka's face turned bright red as he quickly left the room. Raya couldn't help but start giggling as she watched the prince's aura leave.
Molly quickly changed into the dry clothes. She felt strange as she looked into a large mirror. The long white gown hugged her body.
"I fee like and idiot." Molly said.
"Why?" Raya asked as she took Molly's wet clothing.
"I don't like dresses." Molly said.
"I bet you anything Aikka would like that dress on you…or off you!"
"Raya!" Molly shouted her face becoming red.
Raya grabbed Molly's hand, "Let's go!"
"What! Where are we going?" Molly asked as Raya dragged Molly down the hall.
"Hey Aikka you have a visitor!" Raya shouted shoving Molly through a curtain door.
Molly's heart raced and a blush spread across face. Aikka had been changing himself and Molly had walked in on him. His armor had been removed and without his shirt Molly knew her face was glowing red.
