Krel's PoV (20 minutes after part 1)

As soon as me and Aja had finished thanking Stuart for his help, even though it was not helpful in the least, I grabbed my sister's arm and dragged her back to the school, where we grabbed the still-unconscious Luna and managed to bring her back to the ship without any humans noticing us.

Then we made Varvatos turn into his human form and go to the park to play chess, and Stuart went away on his own accord, giving Luna a suspicious glare before he closed the front door. Finally, we set her on the couch and waited for her to wake up.

...Until Aja threw a glass of water over her head.

"Aja!" I cried as Luna sat up quickly, spluttering.

Aja only shrugged.

"Heyyyyy, guys." Luna said slowly, wiping water out of her eyes. "Why am I at ya'll's house instead of school?"

"Well, what had happened was..." I thought for a minute "You passed out when you saw a Skelt- uh, cockroach, and so we then brought you here when we found you."

Luna stared at me, her reddish eyes boring a hole into my own. Then she sighed "Ok. I'll pretend that was what happened."

My stomach dropped. How does she know that that wasn't what happened?!

"Okay, so now that I have 'woke up' after 'passing out'" Luna continued, making quotation marks with her fingers, "Why don't we d something fun? After all, I'll be here for about 12 more hours."

Oh, right, I almost forgot that she was supposed to stay over tonight. "Okay. You don't have any stuff with you, so Aja will be happy to lend you sleeping clothes, right, Aja?" I gave my sister a 'you hit my best friend and drowned her in water, so this is the least you can do' look.

She just shrugged again and nodded for Luna to follow her to the room they would share for the night.

Luna smiled at me and gave me a quick hug before she headed off with Aja.

I stood there for a minute, then fell down onto the couch, which was still damp with water. There was something wrong with me. When she hugged me... so many emotions had flooded through me. But the strongest one was... desire. I craved her touch now. I wanted to feel her warm, soft skin against mine. I wanted to cradle her, to be close to her at all times. 

What is this?!

It's like now, whenever I thought of her, my core beat a little faster, my breath hitched in my lungs, and a strong, animalistic desire roused itself up deep inside me.

"Krel?" Came a voice... her voice, from behind me "Krel, buddy? Are you okay?"

I came back to Earth, as the human expression is, and realized that I was hunched over, clutching my head in my hands. 

"Y-yeah." I replied. How did I never notice how she looked before? Her eyes were a beautiful shade of cinnamon, her hair reminded me of chocolate. Even her stance, while now worried, was confidant and....

OH! What is WRONG with me???!!!

"I'm fine." I said, this time more confidently, standing up "I just had a... odd thought."

"Okay." Luna said, eyeing me suspiciously for the second time that day. 

"We have decided to watch a movie." Aja said, plopping down in Vex's chair and turning the talking box on.

I sat down cautiously next to Luna, still contemplating my odd conundrum...
