Xephos P.O.V.

   Xephos could feel his head throb as his dwarven friend broke into another verse of 'On The Road Again', it was getting ridiculous. It was pretty good the first five thousand times, but now it was just annoying.

   Honeydew elbowed Xephos' hip, because he wasn't tall enough to elbow him anywhere else, and winked as he belted out the next few verses. Xephos reply was a loud groan, which made Honeydew sing even louder.

   They had probably been walking for 20 minutes or so, that was of course full of singing. They we're headed to a smaller town on the main edges of Tekkitopia, closer top the center of Minecraftia. After the other testific village burned down word spread, a human had contacted the spaceman and let him know that they were willing to use their village to capture Zombie Boss and Creeper Boss.

   When they had gathered together their suppies and started out again, Xephos was very hopeful. All his glee was pulled away from him after the 7th verse. 

   On one side of him was his small, and annoying, friend. The other side of him was Lomadia who would casually join in with Honeydew everyonce in a while. Behind him was Lalna, who was right next to Zoey, stealing glances at the red-head. On the other side of Zoey was Minty, that would've been a suprise if Xephos hadn't seen them during 'girl time'. 

   They never really seemed like the kind of people to enjoy girl time, but maybe he was just wrong. Behind Minty was Sips and Sjin, and behind them was the rest of the group talking together like they were seprate from the rest. 

  The spaceman turned to look at the girl at his side, when she noticed him looking at her she turned, and a small smile spread across her face. Lomadia and himself hadn't had a lot of time together since Israphel's note. Considering after they found it, a lot of things were already happening. Then they had to suppy and get ready. 

   Xephos could sill remember Lalna telling him a few hours before it happened that he had gotten Kin to go talk with Sips and Sjin, thankfully Minty would be there. He was tired of her plotting for revenge. Lomadia, who in the time that Kim had become Lalna's apprentice, ecame good friends with the little Nano. She had told the spaceman that she thought they would be good for each other. 

   And then Lalna demanding Kim stay back right before he went with Sjin to get Zoey, and Rythian. She did, she stayed back. And at this perticuler moment, Xephos was wondering if that was a good idea. 

   "You okay?" Lomadia said, snapping Xephos out of his daze. "Yeah, I'm fine, just rethinking some things." He smiled at her, trying to past off as assuring. "Really?" She raised an eyebrow. Xephos chewed on the inside of him cheek. "We're almost to the village, you know." He said looking ahead of them. The village was visable in the vally below them, once they past these trees it would be in ful view. "Yep, I can see the chimney's from here." She laughed. 

  Xephos hadn't even noticed that Honeydew had stopped singing and was now talking to Lalna, that left him and Lomadia up front together. 

   He shifted his vision back to her face, "Do you think the human's there have a plan?" He asked, he shook her head, "I mean, they might, but I doubt it." He nodded, and then in a shift motion, and then grabbed her hand. 

   If she was suprised, she didn't show it. She didn't really give his hand a second look, just let it hang there in his his grasp. Then walking closer to him, and leaning her head on his shoulder. He doubted it was that comfortable, "You know I can carry you again if you're tired." He chuckled. 

   She bit her lip, but didn't say anything. "Lom, I can pick you up and carry you over there, I'm not joking." He said this time a little serious, "If you're tired I can do that." She stopped leaning on him and shook her head, but she didn't glance in his direction.

   Finally, as she was expecting, he whipped around and pulled her into his arms. She wasn't heavy, she was actully very light. Almost imediatly she wrapped her arms around his neck, and sighed, "Thank you." He just laughed, "Of course."  He heard Honeydew whisling at them, and just rolled his eyes. Lomadia giggled a little bit, and then relaxed into his arms, her head resting on his shoulder. 

   A week or so ago she would never allow this kind of affection in front of their friends, maybe he should be thanking Israphel for this. 

   It wasn't long until they had gotten to the village, he had to drop her so they could take them to the main building, where they would be staying. The rest of the town would be evacuated, and now was just the time to play the part. 

   They gathered in a circle in their room, which was just a floor that use to have desks and such, they had all been pushed to the sides of the room. Now they were playing cards and eatting the food that was given to them. After a few hours past dark, they all started going to sleep. 

   Xephos yawned and layed down next to Lomadia, she ellbowed him in the gut and chuckled. But soon they were all asleep soundly. 

Zoey P.O.V.

  Zoey's eyes opened at the feeling of her hair being petted, she was sure it was Lalna messing about. When she saw the dark boots next to her face, and then noticed how the brushing stopped and the patter of boots walked away. 

  Her whole body snapped up, to see the man that put a permant lump in her throat. She screamed, not because she'd seen him, but because she need to wake the others up, especially the girls. The plan was now go. 

  She jumped up on her not stable feet, and faced him, he didn't seemed fazed at her scream. It didn't take long until everyone was awake. And then it happened in slow motion, she would remember Ender's face of suprise as they both watched the men reach out for their weapons as the girls kicked them away, placing guns to their heads, and swords to thier throats. Threatening glances casted. 

   "What the hell is going on?" Xephos breathed, his eyes attached to Lomadia's face as she held the gun to his temple.
