Last Morning.

"Morning Church!" Caboose said in his loud cheery voice. Church walked into the kitchen sliding his feet his eyes slanted.

"Be quite Caboose I have a hangover." Church said opening the cabinet.

"What does that mean Church?"

"That means if you keep talking I'm going to beat the shit out of you."

"Oh."

"Look who's got a horrible hangover!" Tex teased walking over to Caboose.

"If you think this is funny you've got another thing coming to you."

"Do you hear that Caboose?" Tex asked.

"What Church?" Caboose asked confused(As Usual.).

"No, his empty threats that mean nothing to me."

"Yes."

"I thought so." Church only gave her a nasty look mixing something in his drink.

"You certainly weren't looking at me like that last night were you?" Tex said confusing Church.

"What are you talking about?" He asked then taking a drink.

"You tried to hold me still to make out with me last night."

"I don't remember that."

"Didn't think you would."

"Did we do anything?"

"Hell no! Are you insane! I would never do anything with you when your sober let alone drunk as a skunk!" Tex corrected.

"Was I that drunk?" He asked walking over to the table with his drink.

"Hell yeah! Your were stumbling. Your lucky for your sake Wash isn't a cop."

"Dam it my head hurts."

"I only got buzzed."

"Good."

"Why?"

"Because If your were drunk like me last night we might have done something."

"True." Tex said sitting down at the table next to Caboose.

"Does your head hurt at all?" Church asked curiously.

"A little. You cornered me in the hallway and were holding my wrists down so I couldn't move."

"Sorry. I'm just a drunk retard."

"Its okay. Your just lucky I didn't rip your throat out and feed it to Jr.."

"Ouch. That sounds painful. In that case I'm glad I was drunk."

"Or maybe your stomach." She said smiling sideways.

"Your creeping me out… Hey where's Wash?" Church asked looking around.

"Wash? I think Doc carried him back here since he was drunk."

"Oh. What time is it?"

"Nine o'clock."

"I need to go get ready. Did you guys already pack?"

"Yes."

"Everyone, but me." He said getting up.

"I'm hitting the showers first."

"I need a shower to." Tex concluded as Church walked out.

"Showering with you perverted men is the worst part about this place."

"What?" Caboose asked as though he'd spaced out.

"Never mind. Your dumber then a monkey in a space suit."

"I like monkeys!" Tex only rolled her eyes, shook her head, and hit her face. She then walked away toward the showers. The UNSC found it necessary to put only a doorway to the entrance of the showers so that no one could lock the door. Tex was walking in the direction of the door. There was steam coming out of the doorway and she could hear one of the showers and Church humming 'Blood Gulch Blues'. Tex's thoughts overcame her senses so she walked to the wall by the wall. She took a deep breath then peaked around the doorway. Church was washing his hair humming still. Tex quickly stopped and leaned against the wall and took a deep breath.

"What the hell is wrong with me. That's come and gone." Tex then closed her eyes took a deep breath and walked in not looking at him. Church jumped when he saw her.

"You scared the shit out of me. Announce yourself next time." Church said then continuing his shower. Tex then started taking off her Black knee length dress. Church sneaked a peak seeing her Black bra and Black underwear. He stopped trying not to look again. Tex got in the shower next to Church a few seconds later and turned it on. Church couldn't see anything since a half wall blocked his view.

"So are you ready to leave?" Church asked looking away.

"I guess so."

"Guess?"

"I'll miss everyone even though I hate them."

"Tucker is your friend, right?"

"Yeah, but I'm keeping in touch with him. We exchanged numbers before you woke up today."

"Oh." Church held some hope that if she was going to keep in touch with Tucker she certainly would him.

"Oh what?" Tex asked turning in the opposite direction of Church.

"Nothing."

"Its not nothing."

"Please not while your naked."

"Your underrated." Tex said washing her hair.

"You are to." He said finishing.

"I know." She said rinsing her hair. Church then turned off the shower and grabbed his towel.

"Damn that water is hot."

"It feels good."

"Yes it does." Church said rapping the towel around his waist. He then walked up to the mirror and grabbed his comb and started combing his hair. He finished a few seconds later then looking at his face in the steamy mirror.

"Yep your underrated." He said to himself then walking away.

"See you later."

"Okay." Tex said grabbing her towel. She then rapped it below her shoulders. She then grabbed her brush and brushed out her wet hair and grabbed Church's and hers dirty clothes and threw his clothes at Church when she walked past his room.

"Hey I'm naked!" Church yelled getting dressed.

"Don't leave your clothes next time then!" she shouted back going into her room.

Farewell.

It was almost noon everyone was packed and waiting in the middle of Valhalla saying their goodbyes.

"Call me when you get settled." Tex said to Tucker as the ship landed.

"Bye Church." Tucker said hitting Church lightly on the arm. Church returned the gesture.

"Bye Tucker. Good luck back in Detroit." Church said smiling as Tucker stepped on the ship. He waved as the closed the back.

"No, goodbye to Sister?" Tex asked confused.

"He told me goodbye last night." Sister said flirty. Tex dry heaved.

"Gross!" Tex said still dry heaving a little.

"Its not that bad!" Church said looking at Tex. She then ran over to a rock.

"What is Tex doing?" Caboose asked Church.

"Throwing up."

"Why?"

"I'm not really sure Caboose." Church explained walking over to her.

"are you okay?"

"I---- Fine.."

"Then why in the hell are you vomiting in the grass." Tex then sat up slightly.

"Do you have a napkin or something?"

"Yeah here." Church then handed her a napkin he had. She then wiped her mouth.

"God!…" Tex said slightly loud.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Nothing." Tex said then walking away. Church looked at her strangely as she walked away then followed.

"Are you sick?" Caboose asked nicely.

"I have no idea." Tex said sitting on a rock. Church then walked over with a grossed out look on his face.

"That was disgusting." He said walking over to her.

"Tell me about it."

"What the hell was that for anyway?"

"Just leave me alone."

"Okay fine." Another ship then landed to pick up Caboose. He ran over and hugged Church.

"You're my best friend."

"Get the fuck away from me!" Caboose then got on the ship and it flew away. Wash walked up.

"Looks like I'm just in time." Wash said noticing Caboose was gone.

"Yep." Church said happy.

"Tex looks a little sick though." Wash said looking at her.

"I don't know. She won't even talk to me.:" Another ship then landed to pick up Sister.

"Here I come Hawaii!!!!" She yelled jumping into the ship. It closed and left.

"That was quick." Wash pointed out.

"Tex are you okay?"

"I'm fine. Just a little nauseous."

"Why?"

"Just leave me alone I'll be fine." She said as a ship landed to pick up Doc.

"Bye guys!" Doc said getting on.

"Bye." They all said in a bored tone. It shut and took off a few seconds later.

"Are you sure?" Church asked.

"God dam it! Yes!"

"Holy shit! Sorry!" A ship then landed to pick up Church and Tex.

"Bye Church. Bye Tex." wash said as the boarded.

"Bye Wash!" Church yelled as it closed. Tex only sat down in one of the seats.

"You look pale." He said sitting down in front of her.

"I'm fine."

"You don't look fine. You look like you've been on a boat and are about to get seasick."

"Fuck you."

"Okay! Sorry!"

Return From The Dead.

Wash was watching the ship fly away as he looked around the almost empty outpost.

"I guess I'll go get my stuff and get ready for the ship to take me to earth for the court meeting." He then walked inside Blue base as it still felt warm and full even though the Blues weren't there anymore.

"Well this is great….. At least Caboose isn't here." He said walking to his room. He started packing only to hear the front door open a few seconds later.

"What the hell? I'm the only one in this outpost unless someone has been hiding out." Wash listened to hear footsteps and doors. To Wash it seemed as if they were checking every bedroom. He could hear them getting closer until he could hear them open Tucker's door that was right before his. He grabbed his rifle and hid by the wall next to the doorway. He could hear them walk up to the doorway stopping most likely noticing the door being open and the suitcase. They sounded like male footsteps mainly because they sounded heavy or not as light as a women's. He could hear them start to walk in as they did he saw the back of a White EVA Spartan. It reminded Wash of the Meta so much it gave him goose chills. Wash thought in his mind. The Meta is in a mental hospital, right? His thoughts raced, his adrenaline pumped, and his heart rate raised. The Spartan looked at his suitcase carefully and unpacked it then looked over to where Wash was. He had already anticipated the Spartan would look there so Wash took off. He was running looking behind himself as he ran. The Spartan ran out of the room spotting Wash running down the hall.

"Run…." Wash said quietly to himself to keep himself running. Wash looked at the right direction only to run into the Spartan that was behind him a split second ago. Wash fell to the ground and looked up at the Spartan that didn't move when he it them like if you hit a wall.

"Who in the hell are you?" Wash asked breathing heavy on the floor.

"You don't recognize me Wash?" He talked in a familiar voice Wash just couldn't quite remember who he was. Wash looked at the EVA Spartan confused. It only laughed.

"Its me Wash. Agent Maine." Meta said looking at him smirking under his helmet.

"But your at a mental hospital?"

"You actually thought they could hold me?"

"Not entirely, but I was hoping you'd gained some sanity."

"I am sane! You're the one insane! You tried to kill the Director and me!"

"I never wanted to kill you Maine only stop you."

"I spent two years in a mental hospital eating food so bad it tasted worse then my own hand because of you!!!" He yelled as Wash stood up.

"So why are you here Maine?" Wash asked caring less about Maine more and more.

"To kill you for what you did to me." Maine explained in a very angry tone, grinding his teeth and tightening his fist. Wash slowly back away.

"Calm down it-"

"DON"T TELL ME TO CALM DOWN! You will die for what you did to me." The Meta then ran toward Wash as he began firing only to find out the bullets bounced off. Wash started running as fast as he could from the Meta only for him to appear in front of him again. Wash stopped.

"How in the hell do you keep doing that?!"

"This is my old armor. They never removed the special abilities. I stole it while escaping."

"Time pause!"

"Good job little boy." Then Wash ran into Tex's old room.

"Come in Command.. This is a level ten distress call. I'm being attacked I need help. Now!" Wash said breathing heavy.

"Wash?" The Command women said.

"Who's attacking you?" The Meta then grabbed Wash by his throat and ripped off his helmet. He then growled like he did before.

"We'll have no more of that Command stuff now will we?" Wash choked under the Meta's grip. He grabbed the Meta's arm that held his throat as if to try to pry it away. He tried to put his fingers in between his throat and the Meta's hand, but he had a hold of Wash to well. He'd also dropped his weapon in the hallway. Maine then set his grip free and let Wash fall to the floor. He choked on his all fours breath heavy to catch his breath.

"You die soon Wash." Maine said kicking Wash. He fell onto his back still gasping for air. Maine then punched Wash in the face as he tried to get up only knocking him back down. There was blood on the corner of Wash's mouth as he arose yet again.

"I won't let you win. Not now. Not ever." Wash said with a smirk on his face.

"I won't kill you here, but remember I WILL be back." The Meta said then disappearing. Wash only looked around and ran back to his room. He packed his things back in his bag and quickly took off outside. The pelican landed and Recovery Two And Four rushed out in their Black Ops armor. Recovery Two ran over to Wash.

"What attacked you?" He said in a take charge tone.

"The Meta. He escaped the mental hospital and he's pissed." Wash explained. He then walked over to Recovery Four and whispered to a young twenty four or twenty three year old women came from the cockpit. She had short Black hair and was wearing a Black jump suit that had the UNSC logo on it.

"Hello Wash." She said walking down the rap. And sure enough it was the girl that talks to them over the radio also known as, The Command Girl.

"Good to see you intact."

"I could say the same." Wash said examining her with his eyes. Her Black eyes pointed strikingly at the other recovery agents.

"Go investigate." She ordered the agents as the took off toward the base.

"What did the Meta want Wash?"

"To kill me. I know what a great welcome present."

"Well lets go. I've have bandages if you need any." She said stepping back into the ship with Wash behind her.

"I'm flattered by your appearance at the scene, but may I ask when you started coming with your recovery force?" She stopped as Wash stepped in.

"That is of no concern of you." She replied.

"Fine don't tell me, but I'll figure it out on my own anyway." She snickered at his confidence.

"Just sit down." Wash then sat down and strapped in. The back closed as she sat down activating the ship to launch it. It took off without trouble and was now on auto pilot. She walked out.

"May I ask you something?" Wash asked looking at her.

"Yes."

"What's your name? I talk to you at least everyday, but I never ask."

"Amy Whitefield."

"Oh. David. Not to hip on last names." Wash said shaking her hand as if they'd just met.

"You realize this is the first time we've met in person, don't you?" She responded.

"Yes, I do."

"You can take off your suit if you want." Amy said sitting in the pilot seat. Wash then removed his helmet. She turned around slightly in her seat to look at the Spartan. Wash had dark Black hair and dark Black eyes. He turned and looked at her.

"Why are you here. We did you come with the recovery agents?"

"Why do you care?"

"Its just a bit weird."

"Your paranoid."

"No, I'm cautious."

"You have a point."

"I know." He said trying to ignore his slight attraction to her.

"I wanted to finally wanted to met you." She said leaning against the doorway of the cockpit.

"Why?"

"Is there ever a reason?" Wash said nothing only turned away.

"How old are you anyway? You sound some much older then you look." She asked curious.

"Twenty seven. You?"

"Twenty four."

"Why so curious Amy?"

"Just wondering." She said as a small blush came over her cheeks.

"I figured. A lot of people are curious."

"Why?"

"I don't know."

"Oh."
