Tex POV

I guess they took our stuff from Blood Gulch two, none of us took anything from there anyway, I guess we wanted to leave those memory's behind. I looked down at the picture in my hand, it was of all of us, both the reds and blues all huddled up I guess Sheila or Lopez took the picture, it had been one of the days me and Church had gotten along well, and even if we were in robotic body's he still had one arm over my shoulders, I smiled at the picture when a sudden crash erupted through he room, I looked up and saw Grif holding an Iphone 1000-s.

"Grif ware did you get that" Tucker said running over to him and looking at the game he was playing.

"it was in Simmons box, awesome right, I guess he had lots of tech before he shipped out" Grif beamed killing some more zombies.

"Grif put it back, you can use it later when we get to the hotel" Simmons said snatching the phone out of Grif's hand anyway.

"awwww" Grif and Tucker wined in unison.

"speaking of hotel, lets go, I'm tired" I groaned as I stood up carrying my box.

"how can you be tired, you still haven't told us how you and Church suddenly have human body's" Tucker groaned picking up his box.

"that's because we were trying to hide it from the UNSC, when we get to the hotel I'll explain everything" I replied walking to the receptionist, she gave me my piece of paper same as everyone else, we then walked outside into the rain.

The rain was strangely calming I hadn't seen much of it over the last few years, and being able to feel it was nice, I halted a taxi and got in leaving everyone else to get there own, I handed the piece of paper to the driver and he nodded before pulling away and handing the paper back to me, I stared out the window at the rain as it hit the ground, it reminded me of when...no that's not my memory, but it did bring a smile, me and church were eating dinner at a restaurant, we were sitting outside enjoying the cool night air but it suddenly started to rain and church got completely soaked, so did I but seeing church get so annoyed at rain simply amused me.

The taxi stopped and I handed him the 5 pounds before stepping out and entering the hotel, it was a nice place, after getting my key I walked up to my room and looked at the number.

"s-116" I said under my breath as I reached my door, I looked to the next door and realized my room was right next to Church's.

"what number was my room again, I forgot" the familiar and annoying voice of Caboose filled the air behind me.

"s-118" Tucker growled obviously this wasn't the first time he had to say it.

"I guess our room's are all next to each other" Simmons motioned to me as I turned around.

"I guess, my room is s-116, and church's is number s-117, I guess even after all that has happened they are putting us together" I muttered as I took out my key.

"what, that's church's room" Caboose exclaimed jumping up and down as he walked over to the door.

"I'm gunna guess its locked caboose" Tucker said but the blue soldier ignored his as he turned the handle.

To everyone's surprise the door opened, to show Church wearing new cloths, he was sprawled out on the bed like he had flopped on to it falling asleep instantaneously, same old church. Caboose walked in and before I could stop him he was already in mid air, he smashed into Church landing on his back.

"son of a bitch" Church yelled as he stood up Caboose falling back and on to the floor.

Church looked down at Caboose and frowned. "I though I locked that fucking door".

"well I guess not" I said as I walked in followed by everyone else.

"guys just let me sleep, I haven't slept in god knows how long" Church groaned lying back on his bed.

"yeah about that, I kinda said we would explain how we have human body's" I said scratching the back of my neck as Church looked up at me, daggers in his eyes.

"fine" he said sitting up very grumpy. "Wash found some body's that were made to house AI so I uploaded Tex and myself into them so we could be human again, now fuck off and let me sleep"

"dude why are you so grumpy" Tucker began. "I mean your always grumpy but your like, extra grumpy"

"I'm tired Tucker, you should see Tex when she's tired in the mournings, she will bite your head of if your not careful" church replied

"bow chicka bow wow" Tucker said his normal and obnoxious catch phrase.

"shut up and get out, and let me fucking sleep" Church yelled and slowly everyone left the room leaving me and Church staring at each other.

He was wearing a pair of red converse and dark blue jeans, then a cobalt top and a long brown trench coat, I'll admit he did look good.

"unless your gunna sleep in my bed tonight please let me sleep" Church groaned lying back again.

"you wish...ok I'll leave" I said walking towards the door.

"hey Tex"

"yes, church"

"night"

"goodnight church" I said as I closed the door and walked out and into my room, I removed my cloths and got under the covers before closing my eyes and falling asleep, haven't done this in a long time, sleeping.

Tex POV

I opened my eyes and felt a warmth behind me and I snuggled into it closing my eyes again. "mourning Ali" Church said his voice groggy.

"hmmm, mourning" I replied enjoying his warmth.

"you know I was thinking" Church said as he got off the bed and walked around to my side and knelt down.

"ugh, come back to bed" I groaned looking at him as he knelt down on one knee next to me. "what are you do-".

"Allison, will you marry me" Church said pulling out a ring, it was silver and had an green emerald in the middle that matched my eyes.

I stared at him and for a second his calm face faulted. "yes...yes...oh my god yes" I shouted jumping out of bed and landing on top of him.

I jumped up my body covered is cold sweat as I looked around, what the, was...was that a dream, oh that was creepy, that was a dream, I haven't had one in, in years, why would I dream about Church proposing, maybe it was a memory from the old Allison, or it was a nightmare. Ether way he hadn't actually proposed, it had seemed so real, I could still feel his warmth on my back, ugh. Back to sleep. I curled up under my bed sheets and closed my eyes, part of me wanting to have the same dream.

Church POV.

I opened my eyes and looked around the room, that was a strange dream. According to the clock it was 8am, "time to get up" I walked into the bathroom and took a shower before getting dressed and walking down the stairs to the breakfast buffet, I wasn't surprised to see Grif filling his face as I approached, I sat down next to him and Simmons, not getting any food yet.

"you still grumpy" Simmons asked taking a bit of his salad.

"nope, not after the dream I had last night, I didn't even think I could have dreams but whatever" I replied

"what did you dream about" he asked

"ummm, id rather not say"

"oh, was it that kinda dream"

"no, no, no. it just made me happy I guess, hey wares the food at" I asked looking at Grif as I said it.

Grif simply lifted his arm in the direction of the food and then went back to eating, I stood and walking over to the buffet looking over the awesome food and started picking out food and placing it on a plate.

Tex POV

I opened my eyes looked around the room my vision focusing on the alarm clock. "8:05 am, time to get up I guess" I hoped off the bed and took a shower before getting dressed and walking down stairs, I saw Grif and Simmons sitting at a table eating so I walked over and sat down.

"morning, how was sleeping for the first time in who knows how long" Simmons asked.

"actually pretty good, I had a dream that was...interesting but apart from that it was pretty good, I feel great"

"I guess all you guys needed was sleep because Church had a dream to and he is all happy now"

"did he say what dream he had"

"no, I asked but he said he didn't want to talk about it, but he did say it made him feel good"

"hmmmm, ok well wares the food" I asked

"over there" Simmons replied pointing in the direction of food

"thanks" I replied

I stood up and walked over to the food I looked down the line and saw Church who was picking up a coffee and walking back over to Grif and Simmons, I suddenly felt my stomach turn and my heart beat faster, the hell is going on. I took a step back and took a few deep breaths before feeling what ever it was pass, deep down I knew what it was but I ignored it, I picked up my food and went back to the table sitting next to Church as he spoke to Simmons, Grif still stuffing his face.

"so you think it was a memory from the director" Simmons said

"yeah I think so, I mean, I sure as hell haven't done it, at least I don't think so" Church replied

"don't think so, how can you not know if you did or didn't, I don't think its something you would forget" Simmons replied

"I don't know, this hole new body and old memory's from someone else thing is kind of a bitch for all I know it was me but I just think it was the old me, then again it might have just been a dream" Church finished, noticing I was there. "hey Tex, good nights sleep"

"yeah, we haven't slept in who knows how long so a minuet of sleep would have been a blessing but a hole night, I feel spoilt" I replied letting a smile cross my face. "so what are you talking about"

"oh, Church told me about his dream, he was pro-" Simmons tried to say but Church cut him off.

"I was a pro urrrr pro race car driver on the circuit" he butted in I could tell he was lying. I could feel my heart was beating faster again but this time it was much faster.

"a race car driver, really, that might be the worst lie you have ever told Church" I said looking at him

"that obvious huh" he replied looking at his food

"what was it actually about" I asked.

"oh you know, stuff, things"

"church" my voice was low and slightly agitated.

"ugh, never mind" Church said standing up leaving his food and walking off towards the stairs.

"hey, ware are you going" I asked as he walked away.

"a walk" he replied dryly as he walked up the stairs and out of site.

"ok what was it actually about" I asked looking at Simmons.

As he told me about Church's dream my eyes opened wide and my heart was beating so fast I thought it might explode.

"I'll be right back. I need to go find Church" I said walking towards the stairs.

"you gunna kill him" Grif asked now finished with his mountain of food.

"far from it" I said walking up the stairs and out of view.

Church POV

I closed my door and looked around the room, sitting on my bed side table was my box, filled with the directors and my old stuff, I walked over and opened it looking threw it, I lifted up a small box and opened it revealing a small key that looked like a house key, I knew ware the house was, even thou I had never been there, the memory's circling around in my head, I put the key in my pocket and picked up the box before leaving the room and walking down the stairs and out the back of the hotel, it was warm, not hot but warm, I began walking down the street towards my house.

After around 20 minuets of walking I saw the old house sitting at the end of the long drive, it was a nice house surrounded with grass and stone pebbles, there was a large pond to the left on the house with fish circling, I slowly approached the door and pulled out the key my hand shaking, the key slipped into the lock and turned unlocking the door, I walked in and looked around at the dusty and cobwebbed building, the walls were old and the wallpaper was beginning to fall off the walls, the floor was wood and had a thick layer of dust coating it I walked in and sat down on the couch a puff of dust launching into the air as I sat down.

I looked around as I put the box on the table in front of me and quickly took off the lid and pulled out a photo album, my old BG journal and the bottle of vodka. I opened the bottle and looked threw the photo album smiling at the pictures, most of them were of me and Tex in BG although some were of Caboose and Tucker and me, there were even some of Tex posing for the camera. I lifted up the bottle and took a large gulp and smiled as I felt the liquid travel down my throat, "its five o'clock somewhere right" I muttered as I continued to look threw the photo album.

Tex POV

I stuck my head round the corner and speed walked over to Grif and Simmons, "did you see Church leave, he's not in his room"

"no, maybe he went out the back" Grif stated

"or he went out the front and you were just stuffing your face" Simmons said

"wait you had more food" I asked

"I saw cake" Grif replied lowering his head

"I don't have time for this" I say as I begging to walk towards the front doors.

"hey wear are you going" Simmons called after me.

"I'm following a hunch" I replied walking threw the door and out into the warm morning air.

Ok, he had the same Dream as me so maybe he went to a jewellers or a church. I lifted my hand to my temples as I racked my brain trying to think ware he might be, think Tex think, you were in bed then he got up and walked around the bed and then proposed, how does that help me find him...the bed, ware is that bed. My head started to hurt as I tried to think about the beds location. Of course, its the directors old house. I turned and started to walk in its direction smiling to myself, after 15 minuets I walked up to the door of the old house to find it a jar.

I looked at the door but decided it was best to see if there was anyone there first, I walked to the side and looked in threw the window, there on the couch was Church, he had an empty bottle of vodka in his hand and there was what looked like a book on his lap, the funny thing was he was asleep or rather, due to the empty bottle, passed out, I walked over to the door and walked in closing it behind me, it was only then that I heard it, the song that was playing, I walked into the living room and smiled at the words that resonated threw the room, I sat down and simply listened to the words.

She's cold and she's cruel,
but she knows what she's doing.
She pushed me in the pool
at our last school reunion.
She's laughs about my dreams,
but I dream about her laughter.
Strange as it seems
she's the one I'm after.

'Cause she's bittersweet,
she knocks me off of my feet,
and I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else.
She's a mystery,
she's too much for me,
but I keep coming back for more.
She's just the girl I'm looking for.
(Just the girl I'm looking for)
(She's just the girl i'm looking for)

She can't keep a secret
for more than an hour.
She runs on one hundred proof
attitude power, and the more
she ignores me the more
I adore her. What can I do?
I'd do anything for her.

'Cause she's bittersweet,
she knocks me off of my feet,
and I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else.
She's a mystery, she's
too much for me, but I keep coming back
for more. She's just the girl
I'm looking for.

The way she sees it's me,
on her caller ID, she won't
pick up the phone, she'd rather
be alone. But I can't give up
just yet, 'cause every word she's ever
said, is still ringing in my head.
Is still ringing in my head.

She's cold and she's cruel
but she knows what she's
doing. Knows just what to say,
so my whole day is ruined.

'Cause she's bittersweet,
she knocks me off of my feet,
and I can't help myself I don't
want anyone else. She's a mystery,
she's too much for me, but I keep
coming back for more.

'Cause she's bittersweet,
she knocks me off of my feet,
and I can't help myself
I don't want anyone else.
She's a mystery, she's too much for me,
but I keep coming back for more.
Oh, I keep coming back for more.
She's just the girl
I'm looking for.
Just the girl I'm looking for.

Just the girl (I'm looking for)
She's just the girl (I'm looking for)
Just the girl (I'm looking for)
Just the girl I'm looking for.

As the song ended, the room returning to silence, I turned to look at Church and smiled, I guess that song did kinda describe there relationship, cold, cruel and bittersweat. Ugh. That's me. I walked over to him and looked at the book he was reading, but it wasn't a book it was a photo album and it was open on a page that had a picture of me and Church standing in front of Blue base standing back to back our arms crossed, despite the bickering and back and forth we did have some good times in that mud puddle. I looked at the table and saw a book with the blue team emblem on it, the white eagle and the blue background with two swords crossed behind it.

I sat down holding the book furrowing my eye brows, I opened it and smiled to see the words Leonard L. Church at the top left of the page, his journal? I opened the first page and began to read.

Dear fucking diary.

Well flowers is dead, died in a heart attack or something, all Tucker cares about is he isn't going to get his sniper now, but I kinda like the fact that now only I have a sniper, would be nice if I could the damn thing thou, I got a message from command saying they would send a replacement but he would be a private, so I guess I get to be in charge, Tucker is to focused on the non-existent women in the canyon so I guess that leaves me, well I guess we'll see how it goes.

Leonard L. Church.

I guess that was before I got there, I don't remember any flowers guy, I guess this private was Caboose. I turned to the next page.

Dear mother fucking diary

well the new rookie is a fucking idiot, first he insults my girlfriend well ex girlfriend but ugh, lets not say anything about Tex ill just get caught up in memory's, but they ware was I oh yeah, the rookie, first he calls my girlfriend a slut and then just gives out flag to the girl on red team, I mean what the fuck! you don't just give your teams flag to the enemy, then again what the flag means I have no idea.

Leonard L. Church

Girlfriend huh, I guess he still cared back then, and Caboose called me a slut, I guess that was before he met me. I moved threw the diary more and stopped at another mention of me.

Dear Bloody diary

so Tex showed up, apparently even though I warned them they still called her here, even in death those idiots fuck up my afterlife, still, it is nice to see her, even if she doesn't love me any more, of course I still love her hell I never stopped but I wont admit it, she obviously doesn't love me any more, now I think about it, maybe she never did to begin with, now look at me I'm sitting in my room writing on a fucking diary about my problems, ugh, I'm just gunna get drunk, take my mind off things.

Leonard L. Church

ware the hell did he get alcohol in that canyon, wait he still loved me? I...I...I'm gunna read more. I flicked more almost to the end of the journal.

Dear I don't even care any more diary.

I told them to disable it not destroy it! now the one person I have felt anything for is dead all because of me, if I had just left the red out of it she would have gotten away, I could have gone after here, found her...I never even told her I still loved her, not like it would have changed anything, she made it quite clear she hated me and mealy tolerated me like she did everyone else in this canyon, ugh, goodbye Tex...Allison. R.I.P.

Leonard L. Church

I could feel a single tear run down the side of my face as I read the words on the paper, he still cared and I treated him like crap, I guess if we both had the same dream he still cares, or it was because were both AI and we were sleeping the rooms that were right next to each other, ugh, church... I placed the book down and looked over at church, he was lying down on the couch the photo album still perched on his lap, he looked so peaceful like that, like he was a real human being, I guess in a way he was, I sat down on a chair near him and closed my eyes. When he wakes up, were gunna have a chat about some things.

Don't forget to review, it always helps
