(I am reusing the Bandit name, but you'll see why)

  We all rush in, me being carried by Party. The smell of the diner hits me strong after parting with it for so long. I can't bring myself to open my eyes, there's too much pain coursing through me. Party sets me down and tells me he'll be back. I feel a hand rub up and down my arm, trying to comfort me. "Hey, we'll be back okay?" Ghoul tried to soothe me but all I could do is make a 'hm' noise.
  "Party is gonna stay and help you. We've gotta go fix up the mess." I made the noise again and his touch left my arm.
    "Hey sweetheart, everything's gonna be okay." Party's voice filled the room. His breath hits my neck, the warmth comforting my tension. His hands work around my abdomen, the gun wounds hushing blood through my veins through that spot and onto my shirt and now onto Party's hands. I throw my head back when he puts the anti-septic on it, burning sensations filling in for the pain. "I'm sorry, it's gonna burn okay? Hang in there honey. Things are gonna be okay." I heard panic in his voice, he was afraid to lose me after what happened two years ago.

  "Guys she'll be fine." Ghoul stood up and tried to fight for me to come with.
  "Fine, but don't die." Jet said as Party just started to leave with Kobra.
   "I won't, I promise. You guys don't die either okay?" We all laughed.
   We all piled into the Trans-Am and took off, desert sand surging behind us on our trail. We slide to a stop and Ghoul, Kobra and I jump out of the still moving car. We ran and hid, waiting for the Dracs and Scarecrows. "We've got this." Kobra says. "We're gonna kick some ass." He pulls down the part by his eyes on his helmet. I take some deep breaths and look over to Ghoul. He's mumbling to himself. "Don't loose her again, not now no." or something along the lines.
  We heard yelling from the other side of the giant sand rock against our backs. We run out and began to shoot, our aim not failing any of us three. Party shoots one, ducks and rolls and stuns another shooting it as well. Jet shoots three that were stacked together in one shot. Ghoul shoots one and Kobra almost falls down the hill. I chuckle a little but soon regain myself as Kobra rolls down on purpose and lands, resuming to shoot. I shoot one that was behind Jet, him nodding as a thank you.
    I look over and see the exterminator that haunts all of our dreams. His purple suit standing out in the white crowd. I stand still for a moment, not knowing what to do. I wasn't really prepared to see him. He almost killed Party before. I'm not gonna let him do it this time. I keep shooting the dracs until Kobra gets hit. "Kobra!" I yell. I run over and try to help his wounded side.
"No keep moving, I'm fine."
"No you're not!" I pull out a bandana and hold it up and applying pressure. Then two arms yank me up and hold a gun to my head. I stand still, knowing it's the exterminator. Party runs at us but he stops. The exterminator lets me go but then I feel the gun ok the back of my head. He shoots it and I fall to the ground. Blackness consumes my vision but he slips a drac mask over me, taking me to his side. I can't move or fight it at all. I'm completely done for. I close my eyes and except the inevitable. Party screams my name and tells me to fight, but when I open my eyes I want to kill him until he's pulled away by Ghoul and Jet take Kobra and they run. They drive away.

   My eyes shoot open when he puts his hand on my forehead, pulling me out of my thoughts. His touch is soothing. He wipes my cuts and scratches. "It's gonna be okay" Our eyes meet and he stops for a second then breaks it to look away. His cheek are stained not only with tears but blush. He stumbles his fingers in the first aid box. He brings out bandages and gauges. He bandages my forehead then wipes my chin from the blood coming from my lip. He wipes my lip with a cloth and stares at me again. His eyes flicker up to meet mine. I smile best I can and he helps me sit up. I swing my legs over the bar counter and meet his gaze again. He's awfully close to me, getting closer. His lips crash onto mine. My arms swing around his neck. I wince at the pain in my stomach. He pulls away and puts my arms down to his shoulders where the pain isn't as bad. I look at him for a second. Then I meet his lips again and then he leaves my lips to go to my neck. He works his way down and back up to my jawline and then my lips. He kisses them softly and then looks at me again, a different look in his eyes. He lifts me up and carries me off.

  Kobra, Jet and I walk in to see Party and Bandit are gone. I panic inside but then I see the backdoor is shut and calm down. I point out to the other guys that they are in the back. He's probably letting Bandit get some rest. Getting her back was a relief, but a hard mission to do. Now only if we could get our other kid back.
   I walk closer to the back and look in to see they were both sleeping-wait. Party sat awake, obviously shirtless. He was brushing his fingers through Bandits hair. She sat asleep in his arms, obviously shirtless as well. Did they-god they did.
  I step back and shut the door quietly. I sit at the bar, thinking about what I could have done different. I loved her, but she loved Party.
   Kobra had a crush on her a while back and they talked about it. Now he sees her as a best friend. Jet always saw her as a sister and I of course went down the crush road. I thought I almost had her a couple times but when I left her with Party today, maybe it wasn't the smartest decision. The door opened and Party stepped out fully dressed. Bandit was in one of Part's extra sweatshirts and her black jeans. She looked tired and wiped out. He was holding her close.
   They sat down by me and Party asked if we had anything to drink. I nodded and got up to grab three beers. "This okay?"
   "Yeah that's fine." Party said. "But she doesn't need any." Bandit had said something to him. She smiled at me weakly.
    I smiled back. She was happy with him, that means I was happy if she was.
