LA rolled her eyes. "Quit being such a...girl, Mel." She got up. "By the gods, I'd rather be stuck with a plane full of boys than with one girly girl. Luckily Dom Dom and Draugathiel are more techno than anything else." She walked over to the control panels, her eyes scanning it over. "Hey, can ya teach me to fly it?"

"Yeah, I'm girly. So what?" Melody snapped. "Something tells me Zeke doesn't want a girly girl." Cupey said jokingly. "Leave me the hell out of this" Zeke snarled. "You still think I'm pretty." Melody said with relish. "Prove it." "Anyway, I doubt he'll let you." Chibi said. She then looked a bit down. "I've never even learned how to yet." "That's because I don't want you flying us when there's enemy fire around." Stern said. "I don't either."

"Yeah, but I can learn simply by watching." LA smirked. "And if you get all girly on this ride, I promise I will unleash full Hell!" She crossed her arms, nodding tio the box. Inside was a portal to space, which would allow her to force Melody into it.

"Oh for crying out loud, what is so bad about being girly?" Chibi demanded. "Yeah, like you're an expert on that." Cupey sniggered. "HEY!" "I should tape this." Zeke said with a laugh. "Anyway, there's no worry about that." Stern said. "We're about to land in Gaia." And then he docked the ship right outside the ancient city. "As long as we're here, we might as well see why we should help."

"What's so bad about it? The only thing you can truly do is defend or obtain information. Example one, you." She pointed to Chibi. "I have watched you, and you seem fasinated with stars. If nullified, you'd be stuck with NOTHING. You'd have no way to fight for yourself. You'd depend on a man." LA walked over to Melody. "You, you obtain information by reading people's thoughts. Quite frankly, it's annoying. I enjoy for the speaker to tell me his ways, not some spoiled brat. Then again, the information can be useful. So they put up with you because of it. Anyways, you are no good in even an evasive fight. You don't have the body of a runner." LA looked at Cupey. "Your name is all I am going off of, so I'll be quick. Once again, if nullified, you'd have no way to defend yourself. Can any of you three girls even throw a decent punch?"

"I think that's enough" Stern said. "Do they honestly look like their job is to throw punches!?" "It'd be nice if they could." Zeke said. Stern then glared at him, and he shut up. "And what would you do without your immunity powers? I'd beat you senseless, Jeremy would burn you and cut you in half, and you wouldn't last 3 seconds against Zeke." "And let me add 2 things." Cupey said with an angry eye. "First off, I can put spells of obssessive love on people, and if I could, I'd make you get down on your knees and apologize. Second, my friends happen can rely on their hearts and minds, 2 things YOU don't seem to have." "Long story short, if you want our help, I'd suggest you stop mocking us." Stern said. "Anyway, let's bomb around Gaia." He then looked over at a saddened Chibi and shocked Melody. "Don't let that get you worked up, you do an excellent job." "Then answer one question." Chibi said. "Would we still be friends even if I didn't have these powers?" "Absolutely. I'd just probably leave you out of the fighting." Melody gave a nod to signal it was true, and Chibi hugged him closely.

LA scoffed. "I have a heart and a brain, that should probably be wasted on something better, but Dom Dom needs me." She looked down. She rubbed her arm with her hand, kicking the floor of the ship. "To keep this mission from being jepordized...." She took a deep breath, using her complete control over herself to unblock her mind to Melody. She let her see her entire past, every emotion she had ever felt, and every betrayal she had ever had. She was letting her know that her harsh words ment that she liked them all, and she let her know her real name, as a sign of trust and respect.

"Wow." Melody said, shocked by the display of emotion. "I'm sorry I got on your nerves so much...Susan." "So did she...turn off her immunity?" Chibi asked. "Good, let me at her." Cupey said. Her finger glowed pink, but Melody's eyes flashed, shoking Cupey to prevent her from charming LA. "YOUCH! What was that for!?" "She unblocked her mind. And this girl has been through a lot." Melody said. "And the harsh words were to prove she likes us." "Tough love, huh?" Zeke said. "And those 2 ladies are taking their sweet time."

LA glared at her. "I TRUST YOU! Why did you use my real name?!" She blocked her mind back violently, then stormed off the ship where a little gnome man stood. He wore green, and smiled up at her.
"Are you Stern?" He smiled once more. "My name is Sheldon Ray LaBolt, but my friends call me Shay."
"Do I look like a man to you, midget?" She crossed her arms.
"Well, no, but you humans have odd names." Shay looked inside. "Hello. Draugathiel sent me."

Chibi just looked plain confused. "What's wrong with her name? Susan's an OK name." "I...got lost in the moment." Melody said sadfully. She should have known better. She always tried to keep private thoughts private. "I just didn't know she'd be that mad." "We all make mistakes, girl." Cupey said. "Give her some time." Then at the sound of Stern's name, he peaked out the ship to see Shay. "That's me, right here. You got something to tell me?"

"Draugathiel sent me to inform you about why you should help. Come come. Not much time now, lad." Shay jumped up onto the ship as LA exited. "Who put a twig up her bottom?" He looked at the girls. Immideately, he was at Cupey. "Hello." He smiled at her, rubbing his head on her knee. "Anyways."
He would go on to tell them his story, yet the author was too lazy to type it all out again. Copy and paste is an amazing tool.
Shay was born in a dark tunnel. He grew up in the loving arms of his father. Shay showed tallent at the age of two when he built a small device that made bird noises. His father loved it even more when Shay's new little toy blew up. Shay laughed as the sparks flew into his face. Only later did he have an emotional attack when he discovered that his eyebrows had been burned off in the process. For three years, Shay's life was filled with love and quiet. He lived with his father alone, but when Shay turned five, he met his mother. Shay's mother was of the worst kind. She was a gnomic thief. She stole anything she could to keep her happy and alive. Shay's mother moved in with them. Shay started school when she moved in, and was happy for the 8 hour get-away. Shay often felt sorry for his father. One day, when Shay was 8, his father fell ill. Shay's father told Shay to go to his grandfather in the other side of the village. Shay ran through town, looking for his grandfather. His grandfather lived on a small animal farm. The farm was poor and run-down. Shay, being a helping person, helped his grandfather as best he could. His grandfather was harsh on him. He pushed him to better his knowledge, and to better his body on the farm. Shay got the place running perfectly by the age of 15. He was top rank in his class, and he was running the farm almost by himself. His grandfather only watched it during the day. Shay had always had a soft spot for women, especially women in distress. His mother came to him when he turned 15, and asked him for help in the real world. Shay thought about declining, but that night his grandfather died. Shay sold the farm within a few short weeks, and left with his mother to the upside of Gaia. Shay thought he was of normal size, because he lived around a gnomic neighborhood in a low-tech underground portion of Gaia. Shay was amazed by the larger people there and the advanced technology. Shay's mother, taking advantage of his awe, convinced him to give her most of his money. She left him there, stranded with no one. Shay bought the Book of Creations and Tools with the last of his money. He sat there for hours trying to better himself. He made small toys for children, and sold them in hopes that they wouldn't blow up. After about a month of living on the surface and eating things he thought he'd never put in his mouth, a cloaked figure walked up to him. She had a soft voice, but never showed any part of her body. Shay showed her the crappy toys he had made. "Wouldn't it be easier to make that with fire?" the cloaked figure asked. "Yes, but I can't afford fire," Shay responded. The cloaked figure reached down and touched him, and his whole body started to feel hot. She laughed as she walked away, saying something about thanking her later. Shay grew hot with fever, and passed out. He woke up a few days later, hungry and cold. It was in the middle of summer, so there was no reason for him to be cold. Shay looked all around him, and found a plasma gun in his tools. He closed the bag, and ran to the hoverboard rink. He looked in his hand to the last bit of money he had from selling those toys. Shay had a choice to make. He could continue to live like he was, which was a poor route to take, or he could steal for the first time in his life. Shay walked up to the snack bar, and order a nice meal with the last of his money. Once he had consumed his food, he made a bee line for the stall with the goggles and hoverboards. He held the plasma gun up and demanded both. He put the goggles on, and ran off. Shay ran until he collapsed. After a bit of recovery, he started working on the goggles. He constructed them to a t. They were perfect, so he called them simulation goggles. Satisfied, he turned on the hoverboard, put all his things in the bag of tools, and attached them to the bottom. Then, he took a small walk in the park. A man there was giving free piercings. Shay got two in his upper left ear and one in the lobe of his left ear. Shay began to grow hot because of the pain, so he ran off. Then he found his ability to turn into fire. Shay played with the ability a bit. He walked around town, completely engulfed in flame. Then, he turned back to normal. The only problem was that the only thing he was wearing was his earings. He sprinted back to his things. Shay eventually stole clothes. At the age of 16, Shay went to a youth correctional facility for stealing. He was only kept there 6 months, but during that time he turned his life around, got a bit of a better education, and learned about all his powers. When he got out and got his belongings back, Shay spent most of his time learning to control his powers. He got better, and, as he did, he became quiet the inventor. Now he lives off the inventions he makes and the genorosity of strangers.

"That's a...great story." Stern said, a bit confused. "But it still doesn't explain why we should help." "Or at least, help you instead of puting the smack down on Durerea." Zeke corrected him. "We did say we'd help." Chibi said. "Are you saying we're backing out?" "I never did." Stern told her. Then Shay started rubbing on Cupey's knee, which just confused her. She wasn't used to people treating her like that-or at least of their own will. "ER...hi. What are you doing to my leg? Melody..." "Lips are sealed." Melody said dejectedly, still hurt over hurting LA's trust.

"People like my mother always run around, using people down there. If they lived the comfortable Aerosian life, they would have no need to." He kept rubbing her knee. "And you're pretty and sweet. You make me wanna hug you and love you and call you Cupey, cause it sounds like a cute girl name."

"Are you psychic or something?" Cupey asked in confusion. "Believe it or not, Cupey is her real name." Melody said. "and the gnome likes you." "Seriously? I didn't..." She then grabbed Shay and inspected his eyes. "HMM...not pink. You really think I'm pretty?" "What's her deal?" Zeke asked. "I'd imagine when you can make anyone fall for you at the drop of a hat, you have trouble dealing with the real thing." Stern said. "HA! Her first real love is a midget!" Jeremy lauighed, at which point Chibi shot a star into into his crotch, making him double over in agony. "OK...I had that coming..." "Insentive little prick." "You said it." Zeke replied. "And I'll let you off with a warning this time Chibi, but it's my job to beat him over his stupid words." Stern just facepalmed at that. "Anyway, you got a message from Draugatheil?"

"Oh, yes." Shay narrowed his eyes at Jeremy. He pressed a button, making a suit that made him about 5'9". He sat beside Cupey, smiling at her. "Well, she said to meet her at Dominique's house, which LA will know how to get to. She wants you there ASAP because she has important information pertaining to getting Gaians into Aeros." Shay smiled at Cupey. "And yes, you are pretty."
