Enemy Mind

Odd Freindship

"Midaaaa.....can I ride on the Ghost?" I asked as he slowly drove the Ghost out of their ship.

"No Elizabeth, you do not know how to operate it." Mida said with the patience of a boulder.

"Can you teach me then? Please? I always wanted too. Come on! I'm a piolet!" I begged.

"Female he said no." Jab-Jab snapped.

"Well then, can I.....ummm.....sit in your lap?" I asked. To this Jab-Jab glared at me however Mida gave me a thoughtful look over.

"Your small frame will not hinder my operation of the vehicle,I see no harm." He said making me grin happily. I practically pranced over to Mida's side and stuck my tongue out at Jab-Jab along the way. He got out of the Ghost and we went to the very primitive trailer we built. It was basically two trees stripped into two long logs with hundreds of hand made rope tying them together. We then laid fur over the ropes and logs. I was able to stitch them together with a poorly made wooden needle and small hand made ropes. We had a very thick rope tied to both ends of the logs creating a loop to go around the seat of the Ghost.

It was getting really cold now so we figured we needed to get going before the snow came. I had to say, with their help making this primitive trailer was almost easy. Mida and I grabbed the rope that would go around the Ghost seat and hauled it up. Jab-Jab jumped onto the trailer and jumped around on it a few times to test it durability. On the Ghost it was now slanted upwards. So Jab-Jab was no longer on the ground.

"It should hold." He grunted his approval.

"Heck yeah it will! With how much rope we tied between those two damn logs!" I huffed crawling over the back of the Ghost to jump onto the trailer with Jab-Jab. He huffed and sat down on the trailer.

"Come, let us be off." Mida said sitting back in the Ghost seat. I scrambled off the trailer and came to the side waiting for him to say when I can get on. He waved me forward with his hand and spread his legs out. I stepped onto the floor board of the Ghost and sat myself in on his left thigh. I hand to curve my back forward so he could grip the steering wheel with both hands. He pressed a few buttons on the dash then pressed a button on the steering wheel. The Ghost went forward at a decent speed.

I grinned placing my arm on the top of his seat and the other on top of the dash. I looked back at Jab-Jab grinning as I watched him be bumped around on the trailer as the Ghost passed over uneven terrain. He looked back at me over his shoulder and I could see that he already wasn't enjoying this trip. We went to my camp where I had already prepared meat for our trip. I threw my bedding on the trailer with the meat then got back in Mida's lap. We set off again at the same speed from before with me giving directions.

"Alright, there's a Grove just over there that we need to pass through. It's fairly even so you don't have to worry so much." I said pointing between two wall like mountains off in the distance.

"Very well, will these creatures create complications?" Mida asked.

"No, just give them space and they should be fine." I brushed off. He nodded his head in understanding and I couldn't help but to notice how his muscle was tensing under me every now and then. I figured his leg was getting tired of me on it so while he drove I shifted myself. At first I turned and straddled his thigh. "What are you doing?" He asked.

"I am getting into a position that will be more comfortable. The journey is a long one." I said moving to where I was between his legs. I threw my leg over his other leg. I gripped the sides of his seat and looked up to him. It was an awkward position to be in but he was alien! So basically it was okay! I would never do this to a man! Men can be such dogs sometimes. "See? This is much more comfortable. Now you have even more room to maneuver and my weight is balanced on you." I beamed.
