A/N: Hey guys, I'm back with chapter 8 of 'Good Things Come To Those Who Wait' and I am sorry for not updating lately but I have had some major writer's block.
I just realised this is one of the only stories that I have been really committed to lately but I promise as soon as I think of something to write for the next chapters of my others stories I shall.
Disclaimer: I don't own Galactik Football, I do however own Queen Narcissa, King Nicolas, Princess Shiloh and I lay claim to the name Shion. I also lay claim to any Future OC's that may be created.
Now…on with the story;

Last time on 'Good Things Come To Those Who Wait'
He only looked up again, when he heard Shiloh call his name. The teen watched as his sister came closer to him. 'Sister…hmm sounds weird.' Micro-ice thought, only to be pulled out of his thoughts when his sister pulled him in for a big bear hug.
'Although I could get used to this…'

Time skip: Wednesday Night, Black Manta.
Shiloh, Micro-ice, Sonny, Corso, Bennett and Artie were all standing together on the bridge of the 'Black Manta' looking out at the vast space beyond. In the distance a planet was visible, small at that moment but was steadily becoming bigger the closer they got.
"There it is…" Shiloh started, talking quietly whilst grabbing her twins hand in her own and holding on tightly.
"There it is; what?" Micro-ice asked just as quietly.
"My home world, our home world… Shiloh" Shiloh finished, giving her brother's hand a reassuring squeeze of comfort.
Micro-ice just nodded his head and continued looking out the front window of the ship with the others. Suddenly, Micro-ice got worried and turned away from the others and walked off the bridge.
Shiloh and the others turned and watched him walk off with matching frowns on their faces. Shiloh went to follow him but Sonny stopped her with his hand on her shoulder and shook his head.
"Don't Shiloh. Leave him for a bit, I'll go look for him and have a talk to him in a few but right now leave him be." Sonny said as he started to walk off in the direction that Micro-ice left.

With Micro-ice
Micro-ice walked down the hallway, not going anywhere in particular, just walking aimlessly. He eventually came upon a storage room and ducked in quickly, not realising that Sonny was watching him.
Micro-ice sat down on one of the boxes and searched the room with his eyes. He saw something on one of the other boxes and walked over to it and picked it up. He stared at it for a few seconds before he pulled up the sleeve of his jacket and laid the newly found knife across his wrist, just as he was about to drag it across, he hesitated.
'Why can't I do it? I never used to have any trouble so why now? What's changed?' The teen thought to himself.
He threw the knife across the room and slowly slid down the wall to sit on the floor. He brought his knees up to his chest, folded his arms on his knees and laid his head on his arms before letting the tears that were welling up in his eyes slowly slide down his face.

With Sonny
Sonny saw as Micro-ice ducked into one of the storage rooms and quickly walked over to the now closed door. Just he was about to enter he heard a thump and then someone sliding down one of the walls, followed by some quiet sobbing.
Making up his mind, Sonny opened the door and walked in cautiously. He gave the room a quick once over and saw a knife lying on the floor; 'That must be what caused the thumping noise I heard.' He turned his head to the wall by the door and saw the kid leaning against it legs pulled up to his chest, his arms laid across them and head knelt down.
He noticed that the kid's shoulders were shaking slightly from the quiet sobs he was trying to conceal. Carefully, walking towards the distraught child, Sonny knelt down and pulled him into his arms holding the boy close to his own chest.
Micro-ice, not knowing what else to do, turned his head into the pirate leader's chest and continued to let his tear falls, no longer trying to be quiet.

As Sonny held onto Micro-ice, he began to think about what could be going through Micro-ice's head to make him as upset as he was right now.
After 5 minutes, Micro-ice's tears subsided and he looked up to Sonny's face. Sonny saw Micro-ice's faces was red and blotchy from where he had been crying so hard and decided to let Micro-ice compose himself.
Once Micro-ice was sure that he had control of his emotions, his face gained a questioning look and he asked Sonny, "How did you know I was in here?"
Sonny looked thoughtful for a moment; trying to decide whether or not to tell Micro-ice that he had followed him. Eventually, Sonny thought that the truth was better, what, with how fragile Micro-ice's trust in adults was. If Micro-ice found out that Sonny lied to him, it could cause Micro-ice to relapse in the trust department.
"I followed you after you when you left the bridge. I wanted to make sure you were okay. When I saw you enter this storage room, I decided to follow after you." Sonny answered as truthfully as possible. "Just before I entered I heard a strange noise, don't suppose you could tell me what it was?" He asked, curiously.
Micro-ice hesitated before answering, "I… er…um… I threw a knife over to the over side of the room. I… I was going to cut again b-but when I p-put the knife to my wrist I… er… I couldn't do it."
Sonny, of course, already knew this, but for Micro-ice to admit this to him, was a very big improvement for the teen.
"I already had an idea, but for you to admit it to me, that is improvement indeed." Sonny told him.
"How is that an improvement?" Micro-ice asked, confused.
"You opened up to me and told me the truth. That is an improvement in my books. Did you try to hide the fact that you felt the urge to cut again from me?" Sonny questioned.
"No" Micro-ice answered immediately
"Well, there you go; improvement." Sonny ended with a nod of his head, as if to say "end of discussion"
"Okay, I will take your word for it." Micro-ice mumbled.
Sonny started to stand up from his crouching position when he felt the ship jolt. "Right, come on then." He said looking down at the teen still sat on the floor, leaning against the wall.
"Come on where?" Micro-ice questioned, curiously.
"That jolt was the ship slowing down, which means that we are beginning our descent to Planet Shiloh's surface, so we have to go back to the bridge." Sonny demanded, softly.
"But why do we have to go back to the bridge?" Micro-ice queried.
"Because I need to give out orders to my pirates, now come on." He replied. Sonny held out his hand for Micro-ice to take, which he did, and then pulled the footballer up onto his own two feet.
Once Micro-ice was standing, Sonny steered him toward the door. Micro-ice opened the door and left the room, whilst Sonny went over to the knife, which Micro-ice had thrown away earlier, stooped down and picked it up, placing the knife in his pocket before leaving the room. Sonny found Micro-ice standing just outside the door, staring down the ship's hallway. He lightly touched Micro-ice's arm and started to guide im down the hallway to the ship's bridge.

Once the Black Manta had landed on the Planet Sonny, Corso, Artie, Bennett, Shiloh and Micro-ice all walked down the boarding ramp only to see a very regal and important looking people. Micro-ice assumed they were the King and Queen of Shiloh, Shiloh's parents. And his, he must remember his as well now.
Micro-ice stared both of the people up and down, taking in everything. The man had black hair with grey streaks, tanned skin and forest green eyes. Upon his head he had a silver crown with gold inlaid and emeralds encrusted into it (A/N: Similar to Aragon's crown from the Lord of the Rings). His robes were made of the best material money could buy they were also a greyish-silver that flowed right to the ground. He looked like a very majestic king.
The woman also had black hair however she did not have any grey in it. She had tanned skin also and crystal blue eyes that put the bluest of crystals to shame. Unlike the king, the lady had an intricate silver circlet on that had a blue crystal gem in the shape of a tear drop that settled in the middle of her forehead just above her eyes (A/N: Similar to Arwen's from the Lord of the Rings). She was wearing a floor length gown that was silvery-blue for the main body of the gown but the bell sleeves were pure white. Around her neck sat a beautiful necklace, which had a silver chain and a tear drop pendant that was a fire opal. All together the queen looked absolutely stunning.
As micro-ice kept staring at them he realized where Shiloh got her looks from.
Suddenly the King and Queen ran forwards and enveloped Micro-ice in their arms, hugging the living daylights out of him. Micro-ice looked up at them as he pulled back.
The queen stared back into his eyes for a moment before speaking, "My son, my little boy, my baby Shion. You've come back you've come home to your rightful place." She sobbed quietly as she hugged him again.
The king looked down at his son with tears of his own in his eyes; he placed his hand on Micro-ice's shoulder and gave it a hard squeeze. "I am so glad that you have come back to us Shion, we can finally be a complete family again."
The king, queen and Micro-ice all turned to Shiloh, who ran up to them all, and together they all pulled back in for a group hug. Micro-ice finally allowed his tears to fall, whilst thinking, 'I finally have a family that loves me for me.'
The pirates stood off to one side watching as the family all reunite, it was quite a beautiful sight to watch and all pirates who were watching either on the Black Manta or just outside of it swore from that day onward they would do everything in their power to protect the Princess and Crown prince from any harm.
