Troop C kept walking on the empty street, whispering into each other through their mouthpiece.
"After graduation, where were you assigned, Cap?" asked Nam.
"I was assigned here for a year. But after that, I got transferred to the Northern Base Camp."
"That's far from here," said Mind. "Was that the reason you broke up?"
"Not really. We were in a long-distance setup for years. And I visit here whenever I get vacations."
"You must've missed each other a lot at that time. I know the feeling," said Noey.
Freen smiled. "You have no idea."

"Hey, baby..."
"Freennn!! My gosh. I missed hearing your voice!"
"I missed hearing your voice too. How are you?"
"Doing great because my baby is going home next week."
"Haha! Me too! I can't wait to see you."
"You have no idea how much I'm missing you now, Freen."
"Awe. I'm sorry if I was busy lately."
"Totally cool. I understand that my girlfriend's got a world to save."
"But I promise that next week, until the rest of my vacation, it'll be just you and me."
"Awe... I love you! I love you! I loooove you!!!"
"Haha! Oh, I love you more, Becbec."
It was their first time being apart for that long. After eleven months of not seeing Becky, barely talking on the phone due to schedule conflict with their works, Freen was more than eager to see her girlfriend. She told Becky she was going home next week when in fact, she was going home today. Becky's dad helped in surprising by making sure Becky stays in her room that day. Freen arrived at the house silently, greeted by Becky's dad warmly. Becky's mom, as usual, just ignored her. But Freen didn't mind. What's important is she's gonna see Becky any second now.
Freen knocked on the door three times.
"Come in," said Becky from the inside.
Freen smiled. Slowly, she turned the knob and pushed the door open, smelling Becky's scent in the room. She felt more excited as she'll be able to hug and hold her girlfriend again.
Becky, who was lazily lying on her bed, turned around to look at the person who entered her room. Her eyes widened.
"Oh my gosh!"
"Surprise."
"Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Eeeeeeee!" Becky quickly ran to Freen and jumped into her arms.
Freen's back hit the door when she caught Becky in her arms. She laughed.
"Oh my gosh! I thought... I thought you were..."
"That's why it's called a surprise, Becc."
Becky pulled back and gripped Freen's left arm.
"What are you doing?" asked Freen.
"I'm just making sure this isn't imagination. Your arm is getting firm, huh?"
"Lot of workouts in the Base Camp."
"Do you even eat?"
"Of course. That's something we're forced to do there. Don't worry."
