[FFRP] Kidaroc Myths: A Fighting Chance

[Knight Errant]

((Neph... how can I resist that? XD))

Glancing around... not really interested in his current conversation as more than just a way to pass the time... Julian spots Ashton walk in the deployment bay and take a seat.

At least... he thinks its Ashton.

To Ken: "Excuse me a minute..."

He walks over. "Ashton... is that you?" Looking closer. "It IS you, isnt it! Man you look in worse shape everytime I see you... No offense."

"How you holding up?"

[Mystic Mina]

Ashton gasps when she sees Julian approach and turns her head away to hide the growing blush on her face. Great.... Just the person she wanted to see.

"I could be better." She squeaks in a voice that shouldn't be hers. It's much too soft and girly to be! "Come here to snub me like the rest of the boys have already? I don't blame you. Just look at me. I'm.... I'm a freak!"

A few tears well up in Ashton's eyes, but she quickly wipes them away with her sleeve before they can fall down her face. She's a boy, and boys don't cry!.... Right?

[Knight Errant]

Ashton hears footsteps, then a comforting hand on her shoulder. "They been giving you a hard time, I guess..." Julian sighs.

"I'm not going to snub you, Ashton... your not a freak. Your my friend... And the guys around here are assholes."

[Mystic Mina]

Ashton feels surprise at first, then anger.

"I... I don't need your pity!" She cries as she slaps Julian's hand off her shoulder and turns her body away. "You think that just because I'm a girl now I need help from you? You're wrong! I'm a boy! I'm strong.... I'm strong.... Sniffle."

[Knight Errant]

Julian's eyes go wide with shock for a moment... then they go cold.

"Fine... if you want to be on your own then be that way."

He turns away. "You have to get it through your head who your real friends and enemies are."

"When you do, I'll be around." He starts walking away.

[Mystic Mina]

Ashton's watched Julian walk away from the corner of her eye. She wants so badly to take back what she said and have Julian come back to her, but her stubbornness and pride simply will not allow her to do so. All she can do is stare at her only friend leave her....

[Knight Errant]

Julian walks off, eventually putting his back to the wall and staring into space. A annoyed look on his face.

He had started to like Ashton despite himself, but what was he suppossed to do? He had reached out to comfort him... or her... whatever. And all he got was attitude and absurd machismo.

Maybe some time will cool her head...

[Turles.]

-he begins to break down as he has no idea what to think, the stress getting to him-

[Brnin8r]

(sorry for being late...)
The doctor Surge asked the question to nodded and replied, "We sent him to engineering...I believe they sent him to a recovery ward in D quarter when they were done with him."

The deployment bikes are ready to go, each with its own suitcase of supplies presumably. The boys better hurry before any early risers get out of bed. (lol...early risers in a boys army...)

Silva can hear laughing above him, "You see...he can't cope with it."

Rachel gives Alana a funny look, "I wasn't on fire...I was just getting breakfast." as she was hugged from behind, she tensed to keep the breakfast from spilling, "Well hello there..." she side mentioned as she placed the tray of food on the dresser, "Eat up, we have a big day ahead of us."

[Knight Errant]

((No problems! It gave time for some banter. ^^))

After spending some time thinking it over, Julian walks over to Ashton. His next words look rather forced. "Look, I was just..."

"I wasnt trying to patronize you or anything, I was just trying to help you. Obviously I didnt... I guess I'm just not..." He crosses his arms. "Not very good at comforting people."

He normally wouldnt dream of... well doing what he was doing right now. But the thought that either of them might not make it through the next mission prompted to put his ego aside. Which was no small thing.

[AshK]

Alana Blushes in a bit of embarrasment.

"S-sorry Rachel-Chan. I-I didn't mean to almost make you spill our breakfast." Alana said as she poured some milk in her cereal.

"So what's on the agenda today?" Alana asked as she ate.

[Haylie]

(Actually, Shawn's already there, standing at attention for nobody)

[Zoey]

Surge gave a quick salute and went after Dan in the recovery ward. As he walked he wondered how Dan would act and if he had any physical changes. Of course all because of his failure in the mission. He got to D quarter and knocked on the door. "Dan? Are you there?"

[Mystic Mina]

All Ashton does is give Julian a hard stare before boarding her bike and revving up its engine. She wants to forgive Julian and accept his compassion with open arms, but she remembers that promise she made so very long ago when she, along with many other children, lost her parents. She promised never to shed another tear, to never show any signs of weakness, to be the best boy she can possibly be.... To allow herself to give in to Julian would mean to spit on the memories of the departed!

"No, you're not." She coldly states.

[AshK]

"Hey Rachel-Chan, I was wondering, would you like to be more than friends with me? I know it is quite sudden, but I find you quite attractive despite the fact that we are both girls." Alana said with a Crimson Blush on her face while eating her cereal.

Alana then covers her mouth with her free hand after swallowing. She blushes out of embarrassment and possibly infatuation for her new best friend.

'Di-did I just say that out loud? Oh great now Rachel will never talk to me again. I hope she forgives me.' Alana thought to herself.
