It's been a few months since we left Sydney and Chuck and I became friends. We talked thru emails and the phone and at first it was great. He'd keep me updated on jaegar academy and remind me about that date I promised making me smile. I admit he had grown on me and i was dying to see him in person, i finally had admitted to myself that i had grown feelings for Charles Hansen and that he would be the one that could keep up with me. Then after he graduated he let me know that he and his dad were now pilots of the new mark 5 jaegar Striker Eureka since his uncle left. He seemed different after his first kaiju kill, more cocky and arrogant if possible, and told me all about how women were throwing their selves at him and his many encounters with them and acted like I was just one of the boys and I admit it hurt but I went with it. When I asked about that date finally, he broke me "yeah I figured that was just a ploy to make me feel better I kinda am over that now ya know?" And I felt a pain in my chest but let it go "yeah totally just stay safe OK?" And before he could say anything more I hung up. I sighed as I hung up the phone and took off to find Baron. I find him in our room and sit next to him. "So what's it gonna be? how's the leg?" He looked at me and hesitated "It's better for the most part Brook I just want  to state this now, I love what we do but after that last event I don't know if I wanna keep going I mean we have some good kills in there and I can retire feeling at peace that I did my part" I sucked in air to keep from exploding "You self righteous asshole!! How can you call yourself a Becket?!?!" I was yelling now and Yancy and Raleigh had come running into our dorm. "Brook you don't understand" "NO! You do not understand!! If you leave because you're too much of a pussy to keep on then that leave me fucked! I cant just drift with anybody! I need you here so we can protect their asses and keep them alive!" I pointed at our brothers looking at us with mouths agape after realizing what was going on. "Brooklyn let him be for now and let's go chill out for awhile. Yance can talk to Baron for awhile" Raleigh grabbed my hand making me calm somewhat. I grabbed my jacket and glared at Baron one last time making him look down at his feet as I left. Raleigh put his arm around my shoulder and we walked outside and Raleigh sat down and patted next to him and when i did he laid back so I followed suit with my head on his arm "Figured we'd do a time warp and look at the stars" Raleigh grinned at me making me finally crack a smile "You know how to make your sister feel better for the most part" His eyes looked at me curiously so I kept going "I developed feelings for someone and they shot me down today this is my first encounter with feelings so its messing with me and Baron is trying to knock me down more by wussing out because he's afraid well damn it I am too but I'm not leaving you two by yourselves I will always have your guys' back" Raleigh started laughing at me making me mad again "Brooklyn please don't worry about us we are Gipsy Danger we're superstars! and as for that guy please do no tell me you have a thing for that loser Chuck Hansen. He's totally out of your league" and I lost it and got up all pissed off "Well thanks Raleigh but he interests me because he doesn't let me walk all over him and we give each other lip and makes it exciting unlike you and Yancy with that tramp Naomi. Yeah I am so glad she is gone she almost tore us apart and as for Chuck. Yeah he is a loser he decided chasing tail was better than me before even giving me a chance just like you guys almost did but yet i'm your blood so I guess that's that on where I stand i'm over it" and i huffed off and before I could get to my dorm Yancy stopped me "Whoa who has my favorite girl in a fit?" and i burst into tears causing Yancy to pull me into a loving embrace making me cry harder "I'm nothing Yance. Baron wants to leave me and that scares me because I have to have your guys' back so nothing can go wrong and Raleigh just laughed at me because I admitted about my feelings for Chuck and how he gave me no chance so i got ticked and brought Naomi up and now he's going to hate me and I'm a royal mess" Yancy took his finger and lifted me chin "First off, Baron is scared and isn't as strong willed as you are and that's why I love you. Second, Chuck Hansen is a dumbass for not noticing how amazing you are compared to anyone else. Third, Raleigh isn't going to be mad at you he knows how much damage Naomi caused and does not hold any grudges towards us. I love you sis and I haven't said this enough but I am SO Proud of you and want you to know that k? You could be doing so much more but you decided to stay here to stay by our side not behind us but by our side and that's the most admirable thing I can think of so don't dumb yourself down" He kissed my forehead and I followed him up to his and Raleighs room. I climbed up to his top bunk with him and he held me not intimately like people usually envision but in a loving way a brother would to make their sister feel better. Raleigh walked in and apologized about what he said and I did as well and he kissed my forehead same as Yancy and we talked about the future after the kaiju and breach were gone and it gave me hope again after they were asleep i still laid there thinking about how our lives have changed with us being Jaegar pilots and how there were Jaegers stopping Kaijus everywhere. But the Jaegers were only as good as their pilots.So Jaeger pilots turned into rock stars.Danger turned into propaganda. Kaijus were being made into toys.We got really good at it, Winning, the Becket Siblings were well known around this side of the pacific and our toys were selling out . I nuzzled into Yancys neck not realizing that everything was about to change and my world was about to be rocked.
