Sorry about the long wait everyone – I was totally killed at school. Meh. Today though, I'm sick so I had a chance to update. Twice even!

Chapter III: Irai (Request)

"You want me to ask him what?" His blue feathers were clearly ruffled by the question. "Samus, I have dignity." Samus stared straight at Falco. "Well. You know, I have some dignity. Enough not to go up to my goddamned captain 'Eh, Fox, a few people're wonderin'… You gay 'er somethin'?"
"I never said you had to be so blunt about it."
"Samus, every mercenary has a few things they will not do. I will not try to kill anyone I have ever worked with, I will not be nice to anyone, and I will not ask anyone I know about their sexual preferences unless I actually care."
"There's money in it for you, if you're interested."
Falco stared at the ground, debating what to do. "What if I ask someone to do some investigative work for you? Do I still get paid?"
Samus sighed. "That wouldn't count, you idiot."
"What if I helped you in the investigative part of it?" Samus scoffed. "It's not exactly because of the money. I just don't wanna have to ask him."
"And why the bloody hell not?"
"…After Krystal joined the team, Fox and I were roommates, so…"
"Oh, I see what the problem is. You just can't stand the fact that he mighta liked sleeping next to you a little too much."
"Yeah. That."
Samus sighed. "Alright, fine then. C'mon you big buzzard, let's find someone who is willing to ask Fox what's up."

I know, I know. Short chapter but I updated twice so it's ok. I just really want to make each chapter one scene, you see and when it's a short scene… Short chapter.
