Authors note: Yeah yeah… I know my story is indeed a one shot. But I decided to add in this humorous little bonus chapter just for you! I mentioned about our lovers being rudely interrupted in Baskar during the story, and so I thought the idea would make for a funny little ficlet. Rather than take up space and make it a whole second story on it's own, I decided a bonus chapter would work better. Enjoy!
~Interruptions~
It was another one of Filgaia's miserably hot summer days. The sun mercilessly beat down on the frail planet, leaving it's inhabitants little option for relief from it's sweltering heat. Outside of the Baskar Colony, two drifters sat together in a bit of shade underneath a lone tree in the middle of a field.
"I swear it never got this hot in Boot Hill." Virginia said, lazily, fanning herself.
"It really doesn't bother me." Jet shrugged.
"At least that occasional mountain breeze is nice and cool."
As if on cue, a small, refreshing gust of wind rushed passed them, rattling the leaves in the tree and sent a rippling effect over the tall grasses.
Virginia sat up and tucked back a few long strands of chestnut hair that the wind had blown out of place. "Hey… Do you think we could use the wind medium to create a cool breeze for everyone? I mean it wouldn't have to be a strong breeze, just enough to get some air moving. I don't think Fengalon would mind…
"That's a stupid idea" Jet cut her off.
Virginia flared up at him "Why is it a stupid idea?"
"Cuz it is" Jet said casually, closing his eyes and looking away from her.
"Fine then, what is your idea to get some relief from this heat?" Virginia gave him a piercing glare.
"Exactly what I am doing now, find some shade and deal with it." He replied.
"You're impossible" She huffed and leaned against the hard tree trunk.
Ten minutes passed in silence. The wind had gradually begun to pick up. As if sensing that the people had endured enough torture for the day, the sun hid behind a passing bank of clouds.
Virginia sighed. "I'm bored…"
Jet's forehead crashed into the palm of his hand. "Then go do something." He growled. Why did he have to have the most talkative person in all of Filgaia for a girlfriend?
"It's to hot to do anything!" She pouted.
"Just find something to do in the shade."
Virginia gave it some thought for a few moments. Suddenly an idea swam into her head, and a wide smile formed on her face. Jet glanced at her out of the corner of his eyes, and saw her giving him the strangest yet most seductive look.
He sat upright and blushed a little bit. "W-what's that look for?"
Next thing he knew, Virginia had tackled him to the ground and was kissing him.
**********In Baskar**********
"Brother!! Where are you?!?!" Shane called out, wandering around the village. He saw Cordell sitting against the big boulder in the middle of town, reading a book.
"Hey Cordell! …Have you seen… my brother? Grandmother… is looking for him!" Shane said between breaths as he ran up to Cordell.
Cordell set his book down. "Gallows?… hmmmm..." He screwed his face up in thought. "Yeah I saw him a while ago, leaving the village. Actually… I saw Jet and Virginia leave a little while ago as well. Maybe his is with them."
"Ok thanks!" Shane called back as he ran towards the village gate.
"Wait up a minute, I will help you look." Cordell got up and joined Shane on his hunt for the wayward Gallows.
**********Outside Baskar**********
Jet was sitting up against the tree trunk, Virginia straddling his lap. His hands fondled her breasts as she pressed herself against him, deepening their kiss. Neither of them had sensed their approaching doom.
Shane, running towards the tree called out. "Hey broooother! Are you over heeere… Whoa!! Are you guys making out?!?!" He stopped abruptly upon seeing the two.
Cordell came running up behind Shane. He saw the horrified couple in a compromising position… staring up at a wide eyed Shane. Instantly his face turned red. Cordell quickly grabbed Shane by the arm and started to lead him away. "Come on Shane! Let's… go look somewhere else.
They hadn't even taken two steps before a sleepy looking Gallows approached them.
"Hey…" He yawned "What is everybody doing over here?"
"Oh there you are brother! We were looking for you, but accidentally walked up on Jet and Virginia making out." Shane answered him.
Gallows glanced over at the love birds, still frozen in place, and shook his head. "Aw, come on Shane. You need to be more careful when it comes to people in love."
"U-u-ummm… you guys!" Cordell tried to break in.
"You don't just walk in on people like that, or announce to the world that they were doing stuff like making out." Gallows continued to chide his younger brother.
"H-hey!" Cordell continued to try and get their attention.
"You need to give people their privacy sometimes you know!" Gallows continued to educate Shane on the matter.
"Sorry…" Shane replied. "Where were you anyways? Grandmother had been looking for you all afternoon."
"You guys!" Cordell shouted. Waving his hands, trying to get their attention. Jet and Virginia looked at each other, then back at the madness unfolding in front of them. Both of their faces beet red by now.
"I was just taking a nap in the Southern Sanctuary" Gallows stretched. "Turns out it stays nice and cool in there even when the weather gets this hot."
"Oh brother! You should know better than to go and sleep in our sacred temples by now!" Shane reprimanded his older, incompetent sibling.
"GUARDIANS BE DAMNED YOU IDIOTS!!!! Can we please take this elsewhere, and leave these two alone!?!?!" Cordell finally exploded. He grabbed the brothers by their arms and marched the bickering duo back towards the village.
Upon hearing all of the commotion, Clive and Loraina approached the group to see what was going on. Clive took one look at Jet in Virginia, who still had not moved an inch. He turned right around, and headed straight back into the village, saying noting. Loraina gave the two a disgusted look, and folded her arms. She headed back into the village, shaking her head.
THE END!
