Doc's Giants
Chapter 2
Surprise
Halsey nearly jumped out of her skin when the lights turned on and the roar of surprises erupted. She looked around and saw a bunch on men and women in officer uniforms with an unhealthy amount of metals pinned to there chest. When she finally got her head on straight she realized what was happening.
the officers: Kelly, Fred, Linda, and the whole bunch of Spartans lead by John. They all started clapping and cheering. She put her hands over her mouth dropping her hollo pad as her eyes teared up. John, noticing this step forward with a concerned look on his face
"Doctor are you alright-"
John was cut off but the frame of the women pushed against him in a hug as tears fell out of her eyes. Her voiced cracked as she said
"Oh my Spartans, you are to kind! But don't ever do that again! you almost gave me a heart attack!"
The Spartans started to laugh at the 'small' women, well small to them. Letting go of John she wiped her eyes and looked around at the rest of them.
"Come on the candles are going to to blow themselves"
Fred said as he escorted Halsey to the table again. This time followed by all the Spartans. She stood in a sea of people 6' or taller. They all look at John to start off the song. He did and to her surprise the Spartans didn't sound half bad, sure it wasn't award winning but it was good enough to make a smile come to her face. When the song ended Kelly spoke up
"Make a wish!"
Halsey didn't know what to wish for. Finally she knew what she wanted 'I wish all my Spartans live to see the world they missed out on.' And she blew out her candles
Hours later the party was finally starting to dying down. Lynda and Halsey were having a conversation of how they all knew she would be here and how did all of the Spartans come. Lynda answered
"Well, John was the one who orchestrated this whole thing. John pulled a couple strings and everything else seemed to fall in place when he said it was for you."
"That man is too kind to me, for his own sake."
"Ha, you don't know the half of it! He refers to you as Mama Halsey."
"Does he now, well I guess I'll have to tease him about that."
"By all means. He has been untouched because he's... well him. It be nice to see him take a hit for once."
Halsey nodded and scanned the crowd for John. She found him talking to some female Spartan IIIs. For a second she temper started to flare but for what reason she didn't know. All she know was that now she had to embarrass John in front of them. Walking over to them Halsey stood up straight trying to break the gap of height between them. Also she swung her his from side to side catching the eyes of most of the male Spartan IIIs and even some IIs. Touching John's arm the group of Spartans looked at Halsey and said there hello's. John spoke
"Doctor we were just talking about you."
"Really now, I was just talking about you with Lynda."
"Ly-Lynda, What about?"(FYI Lynda like make John look like an ass when ever she gets the chance.)
"Oh, lots of thing, like how you got your hand got stuck in the bay door of a Pelican, or how you and another female officer where in a drop pod together, or how you caught you hair on fire with biofoam, or even how you refer to me as Mama Halsey. I could go on."
John clearly getting uncomfortable as the stories she relayed, but the last one made him chocked on the drink had started to sip to hide his embarrassed face getting the desired effect she chuckled at how red John's face went. A little ways of Lynda laughing her head off. John shot her a look that said he would deal with her later but she didn't really mind. Even the Spartan IIIs started to snicker. One of the spoke up and said
"What were you doing in the drop pod?"
"Listen I know it sounds wrong but we were abandoning ship and-"
