Red Vs Blue, & there's Magenta: Season Ten

Chapter 16 Happy Birthday

Grif exited the Red Base to see Carolina.

Carolina: Hey you, orange one. Where's the rest of your team?

Grif: How should I know?

Carolina: You don't report in to each other?

Grif: Oh yeah, I mean. . . I get reports.

Carolina: You might be the worst soldiers I have ever met.

Grif: Hey, I take offense of that. What do you mean 'might be'?

The Reds began to return.

Carolina: Here they come. Let's move out.

She left as Grif turned to his team.

Grif: Hey guys, did ya find Lopez?

Simmons: Yeah, Donut nailed him to a board. He's staying here.

Grif: I thought Donut was dead.

Sarge: Yeah, we really need to stop saying that.

Simmons: He almost was, but Doc fixed him up and now they live together. They say hi, by the way. Oh, and they baked us this banana bread.

Said bread was resting on a plate that rested on the ground.

Grif: How nice! I'm going to have to forget to send them a thank you card. Hey Simmons, when you say Donut nailed Lopez to a board-

Simmons: I mean with nails.

Grif: Ookay, had to ask.

Simmons: No no, I understand. I-I should've been more clearer, that's my fault.

*With the Blues*

They approached the Cyan Freelancer, who was fueling the Warthog.

Tucker: Hey, what's the deal? We're leaving already?

Carolina: That's right. You got a problem with that?

Epsilon: Uh, Carolina. Why don't you let me handle this?

The Blues soon found themselves near the stream.

Epsilon: Tucker, what do you want?

Tucker: I want to know what you found out about Carolina. Is she evil? Is she crazy? Is she crazy evil?

Caboose: Is she pretty?

Tucker: Oh yeah! Is she hot? Or is she a dude?

Kaikaina: Plot twist!

Epsilon: Guys, I've got more important things to do right now.

Tucker: What are you talking about? You're supposed to be spying on her. She's the enemy, remember? Us against them!

Epsilon: Hey, you don't know anything about her, Tucker. You have no idea what she's been through.

Tucker: Since when did-

Epsilon: Look, will you guys just get in the fucking car so we can leave already. Thank you.

He vanished as Delta appeared.

Delta: Epsilon. . . appears to have switched allegiances.

As he finished, the AI of memory appeared beside his holder.

Carolina: What was that about?

Epsilon: Nothing. I need to talk to you.

*Many Years Earlier - Project Freelancer*

York held an unconscious Carolina's hand, resting his head on her hospital bed and sleeping soundly. . . Texas arrived to see North watching over them from another room.
