It's now maybe 2:30AM. Me and Spider had been talking to eachother a bit more and I explained my situation to him. He didn't really understand it much since he wasn't used to learning about stuff like science so it was kinda hard to explain. "So your like from what year?" Spider asked in confusion. I sighed "Well I'm still unsure what year it is here, but in my reality it's the year 2024... And I was born in ____." (Can be whatever year your born!)

The look on Spiders face was hilarious. I had to restrain myself from laughing. But couldn't help chuckling softly as he asks "so your how old? It's 2170 right now" (I had to calculate that lol)

My stomach was literally in knots at this point "2170!? Wait so what were you born then?" I said this while adjusting the way i was laying on the floor. Since the RDA hadn't given a bed for us to sleep on. Spider scratched at one of his scabs before saying

"Well I was born in 2155"

Spider laughed noticing my surprised expression before saying "Hey, maybe we should get some sleep it's almost 3AM.."

I nod and say "Yeah, god knows what We're in for tomorrow..." I turn over stretching a bit trying to find a comfortable way to sleep. Although I wasn't given a blanket I did eventually manage to fall asleep, and so did Spider.

I had a very rude awakening the next day. Miles had barged in our cell and had Soldiers yell at us to get up "Ugh what time is it?" I say sleepily. Miles gave me a weird look I didn't understand before he said "Ya do realize it's 1 in the fuckin afternoon right?" He said this in an amused tone his thick southern drawl lathered on each word. Miles leaned to the side letting his hand rest on his hip. "Get up Kid, we ain't got time for sleepin in." (can't remember if she told him her name yet or not😭)

I sigh " I've not slept in for quite awhile" I looked up in the two-way mirror noticing my hair was an absolute mess, it still had tons of dirt and dryed blood in it from yesterday.

"C'mon you two." Miles said this grabbing our shoulders aggressively and firmly, before forcing us outside and into some oxygen masks, It was connected to an Exopack or at least that's what Spider told me it's called. We walked out onto the tarmac and with the whirring of aircraft it became too loud to talk.

Obviously didn't stop Qauritch from shouting orders to us. "Get on the ship! Find a seat and keep out of the way!"

Spider ran ahead, jumping aboard and immediately taking a seat behind the big rifle. "Sweet!"

"Whoa! Hold on there hotshot! Now you listen up: there's a tracker built into that mask-" Quaritch poked the mask for emphasis. "-We hit the ground and you take off, I'll have you back here in two minutes and I will give you an old-school ass-whippin'. Understood?" When Spider didn't respond Quartich squeezed his arm painfully tight and yelled in a more agressive tone "Understood!?"

"Yes, Sir," Spider snapped back in a snarky tone.

"And as for you-" He turned to me

"Let me guess, you'll give me an old-school ass-whipping too?" Spider elbowed me hard in my rib trying to get me to shut up.

Quaritch just gave me a harsh look "Yeah. That's exactly what I will do. So behave yourself kid. Same goes for you Spider."

The rest of the ride was very awkward especially since Miles and a few other recoms kept trying to make "small talk" with us which just made the ride even more unbearable. "How much longer?" I asked impatiently adjusting the seat belt which was way to tight. I tired to move carefully so I wouldn't wake Spider who had fallen asleep and was now drooling on my shoulder.

Miles raised a brow "Well, if you can stop being impatient you'll realize we're ten minutes out." Miles said this while loading one of the guns with a few bullets and and making sure his vest was stocked up with all the ammo that he would need.

I looked off to the distance admiring the beauty of pandora, it was nothing like I had ever seen. Even when on missions to places like mount Fuji in Japan. It was beautiful. I hardly knew Spider and was already jealous of his life on Pandora.

****Time skip****

Quartich gathered the squad. "All right listen up: Jake Sully's gone to ground. Don't matter. Wherever he is we'll find him, and his batshit crazy wife too."

I angrily grabbed a nearby rock. Spider told me who Neytiri was so I threw it towards him only for him to catch it with ease.

I took a deep breath before saying "Maybe it would be better if you could keep your fucking mouth shut?"

He ignored me for the time being.

"To do so, we go Na'vi, full tilt, all the way. That means we eat Na'vi, we ride Na'vi. Think Na'vi. And that starts with speaking the language," he finished in an anticlimactic terrible attempt at said language.

me and Spider exchanged a glances before he burst into laughter. Although I didn't understand what we being said I couldn't help but chuckle since his attempt has obviously been horrible.

"You call that speaking the language?"

"You sound like a three year old!" Spider said through fits of laughter

Quaritch turned away from the squad and to us. "All right, smart asses. You, Smart Guy, just went from being our monkey mascot to official interpreter. And you," he has now turned to me with a stern expression slowly walking towards me making me back up slightly "If you ever throw something at me again, or even swear at me, I'll peel this thick leather belt off and teach you some manners myself . Understood?"

I look away a bit embarrassed but nod anyways

"Not just a nod." He says this moving towards me again.

"I need a verbal answer young lady." He says this inches from me

"Yes sir.." I say in an annoyed voice trying to hide the embarrassment which was showing in my face. But then Spider speaks

He annoyingly spoke for me and said "And if we refuse?"

"Then that's at your own risk."

I sigh shrugging "Whatever Spider I guess the old man needs our help."

Spider nods slapping my shoulder while laughing "Yeah! I guess the old man does!"

Quartich gave me a stern look making me shut up.
