As we boarded the train back to base, the two of us turned to wave goodbye at our fellow companions. I could tell by the way they stood ever so close, that their night had been just as miraculous as ours had been. I was only a little upset that I wouldn't be finishing my stay here in the mountains.
After the night that I had just had with my Swan, I knew then that there wasn't any way I was going to let her face those scientist alone. Heck Zark would be bad enough, but all those strangers wanting to poke and prod her, no that was my job now.
I knew the Chief was going to go on some type of tangent about Mark and I both hooking up with the Swans, but what he will have failed to see is. Neither one of us was going to be left out in the cold. For we each had our own to curl up with, yeah I know that my Swan may not be the "real" one. Still I have the advantage that she was custom built for me, with Princess true feeling for me in there.
One thing I will never mention to Mark is, the reason that the Chief seemed to have such a hard time about not letting him date the Swan, was not due to his lack of better judgment in battle. It was because the Chief had seen from early on the battles that would engulf Mark with me as we both went after our prize. Who would have ever thought that Spectra could have a hand in keeping peace amongst their greatest enemy... I for one will never tell....
