The Scout sprung from his bed, sweat pouring from his body. He breathed fast sitting still in the dark of the room.
how long was he sleeping? had he even gotten any sleep at all?
The humid air made his body clammy as he sat there looking around the dark room.
He looked to the window- He couldn't see the moon or sun- which meant it was early, A light shade of Violet covered the horizon like a fuzzy blanket, wrapping the blue sky up tight.
He took a few deep breaths than stood up and walked over to the alarm clock placed across the room on a small shelf, along with some pictures scattered about and a few old baseball trophies.
The clock read 3:30 AM. He rubbed some sweat from his forehead thinking about his odd dream, never had he had a dream near that freaky in his life that he could remember.
"What a frikken odd dream..." He thought staring at the Alarm clock...3:31...3:32...3:33...
He soon decided go and wash the sweat from his body and crept over to the door, cracking it slightly to peer out into the darkness, trying to detect any movement.
None that he could see.
So he opened the door a bit more and took a step out, the colder air wrapping around his bare chest with a creepy good-morning.
"Morning..." He mumbled to himself, as if the air could hear him and react to his kindness.
The Cold enveloped him and urged him to go forward into the darkness assuring his safety while it its hands.
The young man began to walk down the dark yet comfortingly familiar Halls of the BLU base.
He walked forward towards the Shower room, seeing the lights where out. He peeked in slowly to make sure the room was abandoned, before he crept in like a tiny mouse undetected by the sleeping men right across the hall from it.
He quietly closed the heavy metal doors and turned the light on revealing the wall-less shower stalls lined wall-to-wall across the room. On the other end were lockers, about 10 of them.
each class had a locker and the last was a spare. the Empty shower room was creepy at night, even soldier would admit that. (in the most manly way possible of course)
But the Scout found it comforting, someplace he could think and talk when know one wanted to listen.
The Scout which name was Danny, felt dejected most of the time, he was not treated with respect like The soldier was. Everyone had respect for him, and they knew if they didn't they would get taught to in the most cruel way soldier could think of.
Whether it was getting thrashed in the rear with some hard object, or being slowly ripped limb from limb, you would learn that no one messes with Soldier and gets away from it with a smile on there face.
Scout knew right from the start soldier was NOT one to mess with.
The Scout stripped from his cloths quickly and started a shower turning the water on.
The warm Water splashed down his back shooting off in all different directions as it hit his skin.
He sighed in relief as all his worries faded away from his head, The water seemed to melt them out and take the dreadful dream along with it them down the drain.
The Scout smiled a little as he thought of all the things he could do when he returned to Boston; maybe he could even meet a girl.
As thoughts of being back in Boston flew through his head, The door to the room swung open Slowly, and the Engineer a short chubby Texan, stood in the doorway looking over to the Scout who had been snapped out of thought when the large door let in a burst of cool air.
The young Scout turned his head quickly to see the shorter man.
"Oh i'm sorry partner, I thought everyone was asleep at this time." The Engineer said holding onto the doors handle.
"Would you mind boy?"
"na'w, not at all." the Scout assured the short man turning back to the wall he was looking at a moment before.
"Oh good, I wouldn't want to be bothering' ya." The Texan said Walking in and going someplace behind the Scout near the Lockers.
The Scout started thinking again about Boston, His mother, and brothers back home. They were very nice people, Of course his brothers were ruff and playful, But he liked it that way.
No matter what they beat him at, He was by far the fastest one. Every one of them marveled at his speed as he dashed by quickly, beating them at a race easy.
The Scout thought silently as Dell the Blu engineer slipped into a stall next to the runner turning on the Water and cleaning himself. He soon realized the Scout off in his own world and looked at the boy.
"Something of yer mind boy?" He asked water pouring down his face as he spoke.
"Oh i'm fine. i'm just thinking a little." The Scout answered him as he continued to wash himself.
"Why are you up so late anyways?" Engineer asked curiously, "Did ya, have a bad dream?"
"yeah actually i did." The Scout stood in the stream of the Cold water.
"hmmm, want to tell me about it?" The kind Texan offered.
"well sure if you really want to hear it."
"sure i will."
"okay than." the Scout answered the final time before explaining the story to Dell.
Dell seemed to take in every bit of it, not letting himself forget any of it.
"than the dream ended, it felt like... dieing...but...not the feeling of re-spawning... that feeling didn't come... it was just the cold than nothing... it faded out quickly..."
Engineer stood there Thinking silently as the water splashed over him.
"that's an odd dream..." the Engineer said finally reaching for the faucet and turning the water off.
Scout did the same knowing he had showered enough.
"why don't you take yer'mind off that and come to my workshop with me and help yer buddy out eh?" the engineer asked grabbing a towel from the locker.
"Really? ya mean it?" The Scout asked taking complete interested in the Engineers proposal.
"Yeah why not?" The engineer smiled at the Scout.
"You can even accompany me at work today if you would like. its always nice for some company."
"Sure thing!" Scout agreed grabbing another towel for himself and drying off.
The Engineer listened to The Scout's cheerful chatter as they both got dressed getting ready for the fight. He was going to be something else working of the battle field.
