Oil Slick
The next morning, everyone got up early to see us leave. Aimee, Prowl, Kiba, Peter and the other humans, Blazer, Scorcher, and even…yes, Wreck-Gar came out to see us.
"Just know there's always a place for you here, both of you" Peter told us.
"Yeah, we know. Hey, if we're gonna make it, then we have to go now" I told Aquila, who was in no hurry to leave.
Aquila wait a minute, before you leave, I kinda heard about what Kiba gave you and I thought maybe you'd like this" Wreck Gar pulled out a necklace he had made himself out of little chains and bottle caps, "You like it?".
Aquila smiled and slipped her head into the chain. "Love it" she said.
"Great! Well, come and see us later, will ya?".
Even though he was older now, he still retained that sparkling processor of his. Aquila thought of it as adorable. I just thought him retarded.
"Hey, are we gonna leave or what?" I asked.
"Yeah, here in a minute" Aquila went over to Kiba and I knew what had gone down. Kiba had kissed her.
Wait 'til her dad found out….
Aquila kissed Kiba goodbye and we took off. Finally, we were off that planet and in familiar territory. In Aquila's talons was the reliquary.
"Why bother with that thing?" I asked.
"It holds high emotional value" Aquila answered.
"But it's basically nothing" I said.
"No it isn't. Just because something doesn't have a past doesn't mean it doesn't have a future. That goes for everything and everyone else".
I never understood m her logic, but whatever, I went with it.
