I'm sooooo, sooooo sorry! As this is based off the movie I had to re watch it. (And buy it) but I haven't had time until last weekend to get the DVD. I'm really sorry.

Anyways on with the chapter:


3 years later:

"She's been there too long! She has gone cold. The boy need's to be transferred there and fast!"

"He's barely anywhere near ready,"

"Then make him! I'm sick of seeing her like this!"

"He's not ready!"

"The girl wasn't and look what it did to her!"


Cayla had been at battle school for three years. It had changed her. Not physically but mentally.

She was sat on the top bunk at the front of the Salamander cabin, playing on her desk. She was second in command there. She heard a commotion going on outside where a few people were playing baseball. The blonde walked out to see Bonzo, the leader of Salamander, interrogating a new soldier.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Ender Wiggin," The blue eyed fifteen year old said proudly.

"Petra Arkanain," Petra, one of two girls in Salamander, introduced herself.

The other girl raised an eyebrow at him. "My name is Cayla. Cayla Parker." His eyes widened at the name.

"Cayla?" He asked. The girl snorted.

"Yeah that's my name, launchie. Don't wear it out," She said, rolling her eyes. She was not the Cayla Parker Ender had known. He figured it out at that moment. This was where she had went for the past three years. Her once kind blue eyes had gone stone cold and emotionless.

"You're not Cayla." He stated still in utter shock.

"Yes I am, Wiggin. Do you want some I.D to prove it?" the shell asked him.

"What happened? What happened to you, Cay?" He asked obviously upset that she wasn't the girl he knew. She glanced over at Bonzo.

"Can I talk to him in private?" Bonzo nodded. Cayla grabbed him by the wrist and lead him out of hearing distance of the others.

"I don't know who you think you are but this better stop, Ender!" She spat. "You can't just come in here acting like we're 'best friends' because we're not, not anymore. I'm not the innocent girl I was three years ago. I've grown up! And I suggest you do the same!" With that she hauled him back to Bonzo roughly, shoving him back into the room.

"Your bunk's at the back," Bonzo said, hitting him with a sweaty towel he had been using to dry away the moisture that had accumulated on his forehead during the baseball game they had been playing.


"They have been separated to long! She won't even open up to the boy now!"

"And who's fault is that?"

"Yours! You monitored the girl!"

"You separated the two of them and made the girl go cold. That was none of my doing!"

"I just hope she'll open up to him. She needs him like he needs her."

"But I thought you said she was his biggest weakness?"

"She is, but she's also his biggest strength,"


Bonzo and the rest of the guys in Salamander were having a competition to see who could build a battle room gun the quickest. Cay sat on the bunk which overlooked the competition. She was going next. Bonzo won once again but that wasn't a surprise.

Just then Ender and Petra walked in with their battle room suits on. Bonzo stood up and walked over to them.

"Where have you two been?" He said glaring at Ender.

"Practicing," Petra answered.

"You don't train with her Wiggin. In fact, you don't train with anyone," the short leader spat.

"I need to train somehow," Ender protested.

"You don't-"

"Cayla usually trains the new recruits," Petra butted in.

"Did I ask you, cadet?" Bonzo asked bitterly. The brunette just glared. "And Wiggin? Do you want training? Well here it is," He said as he went to punch Ender. The boy closed his eyes and stood ready for the blow. A blow that never came. He opened his eyes to see Cayla standing in front of him.

"Y'know what Bonzo? Petra is right; I do usually train the new recruits. He is no longer your problem Bonzo, he's mine," She smirked defiantly.

"He is in my army, therefore he is my problem. This is my army, not yours, and in my army what I say goes. So, he will not be trained!" Bonzo shouted.

Ender moved in front of Cayla knowing what would happen next. He glared at his 'leader'. "May I speak to you outside, sir," he spat then turned on his heel and walked out. Bonzo quickly followed obviously annoyed shouting at the newest soldier not to turn his back on him.

Petra smirked and raised an eyebrow. "So that's the amazing, fantastic and wonderful Ender? You make a cute couple." Cayla rolled her eyes.

"I never said he was amazing," she remarked.


"It's good they stood up for each other,"

"Yeah at least they're getting along,"

"See this is why this is why they're perfect. They complete each other."

"They are each other's weaknesses and strengths. They are perfect."
