An Eagle and Blue Jay

Sleeping Beauty

The engines of the plane whirred loudly as it flew above the clouds. It was still late and there were still a few hours left when it landed. Y/N left his seat to walk around to find something to eat. One of the assistants on the plane walked past as well and bumped into him and spilling a cup of coffee on his jacket.

Y/N: AH CRAP!

Assistant: Sorry! I wasn't looking!

The assistant looked slightly younger than Y/N in age and she looked slightly lost.

Y/N: Yeah, it's alright. Just grab something so we can clean it up.

Assistant: Yeah, I will.

She went back to a nearby sink and grabbed a pair of small towels and gave one to Y/N.

Y/N: Thanks.

Y/N took off his jacket and showed his tightly worn sweatshirt underneath that luckily didn't get wet. The assistant was cleaning and blushed when she looked up at Y/N taking it off.

Y/N: Agh. Lucky the coffee wasn't boiling...

Assistant: Y-yeah...

Y/N: Well, thanks for the towel. Is there anything g around here I can snack on before I go back?

Assistant: Yes sir, just where I was, there's a tray with a few snacks there.

Y/N: Thank you again.

Assistant: N-no problem.

Y/N walked into the room and got a few almonds and a Red Bull and walked back to his seat.

Y/N to himself: What was with that girl?

He started remembering himself of Tari. Everything that they've been through and why he was going back. Even though they actually hadn't been together much even during him being with MD-5, he still remembered her personality, her laughs and smiles as well as the many conversations they had together. He ate some almonds and went back to sleep with his open window, just dreaming with going back to the people he cared about. Then a thought lingered in his head that he couldn't stop thinking about.

Y/N: "How much has changed since I was gone?"

Edwards: YEEEESSSSS! NICE ONE KID!

Hill: YEAH THATS WHAT I THOUGHT!

Announcer: And that wraps it up for the semi final classification round! The Red Bull Gaming Team have made it back to the finals after nearly 2 years! They'll be facing off against AlphaMAX once again in the International Blitz Champions League! What do you think of Justin Hill's performance today?

Announcer 2: Honestly mate, the kid seems like he has a bright future in gaming for him. He's already got a capable and experienced world champion in his roster helping him out. Although rumors around the servers suggest Hill's really had a lot of solo training. One could imagine how rigorous his training really is for himself.

Announcer: Well, that's the attitude you need for a future world title! Anyways ladies and gentleman, that's all we have for you here at the Ring. We wish you all a goodnight!

Sofia, Lucinia, Masa, Belle, and Lamar were all watching the broadcast in the MD-5 hideout.

Masa: Wow. Haven't seen such gameplay from a rookie like that since I was at Tascorp with Belle!

Belle: Yeah, no kidding. Remember that Lucid Gaming bastard that kept camping and took the title from us that one time?

Lamar: Yeah yeah, but that ain't skill girl. Skills what that Kid's got!
