As I woke up thirty minutes early the next morning I went ahead and got ready for the mission. Chief had already got up so I knew I could find him. I got my clothes on and walked to my room. I put my armor on and went to the hanger, where chief was getting ready for the mission just a little early.
"You're getting ready early to?" I asked as I walked up beside him. He nodded and kept his eyes on his work. I started to gather up my things which include: guns, knife, grenades, and one armor ability. I like to be with chief but when he's in a bad mood he's a pain in the butt to get along with. I never knew someone could act just like me until I met chief. He acts almost just like me when I'm mad. I keep to myself, I'm extremely quiet and I like to be alone and be mad alone. I don't know if he was mad at me because of earlier or what. I smiled took my helmet office and laid it to the side.
"Why won't you talk to me? Are you mad at me or what?" I asked looking at him.
"I'm not mad I'm trying to concentrate on my work."
"But it's me MIAKA! Your girl..."
"You're not my girl! Don't you ever say that again." He snapped at me. I looked at him shocked that he was like this I said that yesterday and he agreed with me but now he's mad at the world and wants to be a jerk. I could feel tears start to form in my eyes and I knew he could tell. Even though he had his helmet on I know he could tell.
"FINE! IF YOU WANT TO BE A JERK TO ME GO AHEAD AND BE A JERK BUT DONT COME LOOKING FOR ME WHEN YOU NEED OR WANT SOMETHING!" I shouted at him. I grabbed my helmet and all my things then stormed off. I sat my things in the pelican then went to my bunk room. I had to think about this situation.

As I walked into my room and closed the door and broke down and started to cry. I slide down a wall, crying extremely hard.
"How could he do this to me, how could he be such a jerk to me?" I said to myself between my tears.

I heard the door open, but I didn't even open my eyes or lift my head. I didn't want to see anybody especially Chief. I defiantly didn't want to see chief.
"Miaka?" His voice was softer than usual and he sounded concerned.
"Go-Away!" I said barely lifting my head. I heard him lift his helmet and lay it on the bed. I heard him walk over to me.
"Miaka, I'm sorry I was being stupid. I don't normally apologize to anybody, but you. I feel like I can say anything to you. You are one of my only friends I can tell you anything. Please forgive me for what I said to you, I didn't mean it." He said, and I honestly didn't think it was him. I looked up not believing my ears.
"Do you really mean that?" I asked looking up at him. He nodded and looked at me.
"I forgive you, but am I—your girl?"
"Yes…" I smiled and got onto my knees, wrapping my arms around his neck in a hug. I pulled back and kissed him. I was hoping he wasn't in a bad mood.

Later that morning everyone was in the hanger ready to go. We all loaded in to the pelicans and left.

When we were dropped off I could tell the covenant were close I just didn't know how close until I turned my motion tracker on. They were about thirty feet ahead of us.

"Move in quiet guys." I said into my helmet. We all went through, chief took the first shot. That's when the combat started.

After all but one hunter and about a dozen grunts were left the ODST's moved to the side so chief and I, the Spartans, could take over.

"CHIEF!" I screamed as I watched a hunter pick him up and throw him. We are doomed but not without a fight.

I smacked about ten grunts, determined to get to chief.

"I'M COMING JOHN!" I screamed as I smacked one more grunt then took off running to chief. There's one thing I forgot about, the Hunter. I saw him so I jumped and did a back flip over him, jumped on his back and stuck a plasma grenade into his back then jumped off. I went back to Chief, sliding on my knees when I got close. I laid over him to try and protect him when the grenade blew. Once that was over I got the ODST's to get the pelican so we could get Chief and the other soldiers the hell out of here. While the others weren't looking I took off John's helmet to make sure he was still alive. That was a pretty hard attack and I don't think even John can get out of that without medical attention. I took my helmet off as well so I could look at him better.

"John, look at me. John!" I said as I slightly hitting his face to get him to wake up. I took my right hand and slide it to his grabbing it and holding it while tears started to fall.

"Please don't leave me, I won't be able to handle it please don't." I said with my face extremely close to his. After I thought he was gone I felt his hand grip mine.

"Miaka?" He said in an extremely low voice.

"Chief, I'm here it's okay a pelican is one it's way."

"G-good…" I looked at him and his eyes opens slightly. I leaned in and kissed him, then I heard the pelican. I broke from him and looked at him.

"Do you want your helmet on?" I asked. He barely nodded, then I put it back on.

Once we got back to the base I wanted to stay with chief but the commander told me I need to rest. I didn't want to but he ordered me to so I basically had to. I walked back to the bunks and went into John's room. I removed all my armor then slide into the bed. The same bed where John and I made love just last night.

"Please be okay, John, Please be okay." I said as I slowly cried myself to sleep, hoping and praying John is okay.
