Yay! Chapter 6 at last. I want to thank UpInArms100 and LadyEkathle for giving me ideas! Now, on to the story!
Disclaimer: You guys get the idea...
Winter finally arrived on the planet Montressor. The small mining planet was prone to have harsh snow storms that would easily last for days on end. This was Amelia's first winter here and even though snow didn't bother her, Montressor's storms did. Jim, B.E.N, and morph were with her in the living room; all seeming quite bored with the lack of activity. Sarah and Delbert were out at the Benbow, apparently getting some things settled with construction. But one could only wonder why anyone would want to do any construction in weather like this. Amelia hoped that the snow would stop soon, but all she could do for now was sit quietly on the couch listening to B.E.N go on and on about complete nonsense. It seem that even Jim was starting to get a little annoyed with the robot's blabbering, but admitted that it was better than sitting in complete silence.
"I hope my mom and the Doc gets back soon." Jim sighed, looking out the window at the snowfall outside. "I wouldn't what them to get stuck out there. Not to mention I'm completely board out of my mind."
"Patience is virtue, James." Amelia replied.
Jim rolled his eyes. "Yeah I know, but the only one who seems to be enjoying their self is B.E.N!"
"If you're that bored, go find something to do and stop complaining." Amelia sighed. "Either that, or you can clean the house."
"I'm sure you would enjoy seeing me on my hands and knees cleaning the damn place with a toothbrush." Jim said sarcastically.
"That I would, Mr. Hawkins." Amelia chuckled.
"Hey when are you and the Doc getting married?" B.E.N blurted out but was tackled by Jim.
Amelia's eyes widened. "When are we what?"
"N-nothing! B.E.N hasn't been in his right mind lately!" Jim said quickly, putting his hand over B.E.N's mouth. But the robot was able to squirm out of the teen's grasp.
"What are ya talking about Jimmy? The last time I checked, this primary memory circuit was mine."
"Figure of speech, B.E.N." Jim explained.
Amelia rolled her eyes and stared out the window again. The snow was getting heavier, and one was only able to see fifteen feet at the most. A knock at the door grabbed everyone's attention. B.E.N jumped to his feet and made a dash for the door shouting "I'll get it, I'll get it!". However, before he got too far, Jim managed to grab ahold of his legs and tripped him.
"No, I'll get it. You'd just end up freaking them out!" Jim said walking to the door. When he opened it a felinid man stood there covered in snow. "Uh... can I help you?"
"Is Captain Amelia Smollett here by any chance?" The man asked.
"Um, yeah." Jim answered. There was a moment of awkward silence.
"May I talk to her?" he asked.
"Oh that's what you wanted. Sure, come on in." Jim laughed and stepped aside (Jim's a little slow today). He led the man to the living room where everyone was. "Hey Captain, someone's here to see you."
Amelia whipped her head around and stared at the two, slightly puzzled. "And who, may I ask, is that?"
"Oh I'm sorry." the man said, taking off his had that hid his face. "Surely you recognize me now."
Amelia eyes widened with shock. There, standing at the door, was Cameron with a soft smile on his face. "Admiral?"
"You look surprised to see me. That's a relief." he chuckle. Then, out of nowhere, he was glomped by B.E.N. They both fell to the floor with a loud *thud*. "W-what the hell?"
"Oh how sweet!" B.E.N exclaimed, pulling Cameron into a bone-crushing hug. "The captain really does have friends that care about her! Oh how touching!"
"B.E.N get off!" Jim yelled, pulling the robot off of a very confused Admiral. Jim help Cameron up and apologized. "Sorry about that. He's... a little out of it today. We'll just step out for a little while and leave you two alone."
Once they were out of the room, Cameron walked over and sat next to Amelia.
"Well I'll have to say that this was certainly unexpected." Amelia stated.
"Yeah, but I figured that since it was in the area I should pay a visit to an old friend. I mean it has been about seven months, right?" Cameron explained.
"Yes it has." Amelia sighed.
"How's the Doctor by the way? I didn't see him when I walked in." Cameron asked. "Surely you to are in a good relationship."
"We are actually." Amelia stated. "We've been courting for about six months."
"That's great." He smiled. "You and he go well together. But it is a shame he isn't here; I really wanted to apologize for everything."
"I'm sure he's forgiven you. The doctor isn't one to hold a grudge." Amelia assured.
"That's true but it would clear my conscience." Cameron explained. "Still, I must say that it's really strange finally seeing you dating all of a sudden. I remember you always saying that you didn't ever have time or the need for a man."
"That may be true, but Delbert's different. I don't really understand it all, but he just so... loveable and well mannered."
"I'm very glad to hear that." Cameron smiled and looked out the window. "Sure is getting bad out there, isn't it? I should get going; sorry to leave so soon."
"It's fine." Amelia said standing up. "It was nice seeing you again."
"Same here." he said pulling her into a friendly hug. "And I'll be expecting a wedding invitation, in the near future."
"Oh shut up." she chuckled, elbowing him in the ribs playfully.
"Haven't changed a bit after all these years, I see."
"Not at all." She smirked.
They both said their final goodbyes and Cameron walked out of the room. When he walked into the foyer, he spotted Delbert and Sarah walking in, both covered in snow. Delbert stopped in surprise and stared at the felinid.
"A-Admiral? I wasn't expecting you to be here." Doppler shuddered.
"I was just visiting the captain." Cameron explained. "I haven't seen her in a while so I stopped by."
"I see..."
"I want to apologize for our last encounter." he said, holding out his hand. "No hard feelings, I hope."
Delbert stood there slightly puzzled, not sure if he heard him right. "Um... none taken."
"Well I must be leaving. But before I go, I want you to do me a favor."
"And what's that?" Doppler asked, flustered.
"Take good care of her for me." He said tipping his hat and then walked out the front door. Doppler stood there not sure why Cameron seemed so different form the last time they had meant. Then again, Amelia did say that he was usually well mannered. He shrugged it off and walked toward the living room, where he was sure Amelia was. He slowly opened the door and peered in.
"And what took you to long?" A stern voice questioned, making the poor doctor flinch.
"Why? Did you miss me?" He smirked, walking in and facing Amelia who was sitting on the couch, arms crossed.
"Oh, hush." She snickered, standing up and walking over and putting her arms around his neck.
"Well, apparently you did." He laughed.
"Doctor, may I ask that you zip that howling screamer of yours?" Amelia said.
"Still the same Captain I fell in love with, I see." Delbert chuckled, kissing her softly on the lips.
To be continued...
Gosh it took me forever to figure out how this was going to go. Anyway, please review...
