Chapter 12: Absence of Leadership
Back in Kiwi District, Sarah, Steffine, and Alyssa were left to control their squads, and also keep order of the 4th squad. Kain was supposed to be the leader, but he wasn't exactly feeling up to par. "So, I wonder what we're supposed to do now?" asked Steffine at their 'all too important' capitan meeting.
"I wonder what Sara and Randy are doing?" asked Alyssa.
"I can tell you what they're not doing... what normal people do on their honeymoons," Sarah replied.
"Dude, what if they are?" questioned Steffine.
"I doubt it," Sarah replied back.
"I would be an aunt," said Steffine, not paying any attention.
"Hey, Steffine, PAY ATTENTION HERE! I called this meeting for a reason," Sarah yelled.
"You don't have to yell," Steffine said, head to the ground.
"What's the reason?" asked Alyssa.
All fell silent. "Okay, you got me, I have nothing," Sarah admitted.
"Well, I have something that I think we should try to keep away from Sara and Randy," Alyssa piped up.
She threw a magazine on the table. The headline read, "Capitan forced to marry general, sources say she had no choice."
"s**t," said Sarah, "They can't see this."
"Oh that's not the half of it. This is the one that I personally don't want Sara to see," Alyssa said as she threw another paper on the table.
Steffine picked it up and read the headline. "Capitan already pregnant, but with who?"
"Where's Winston, we have to talk about this!" Sarah exclaimed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Well, the one about them not being in love comes from the fact that they hardly show any affection in public," Winston began, "and the other one comes from the fact that she did stay a night here at the General's place, but of course there is always rumors floating around about Captain Sara having an affair with Lieutenant Kain Gaskill."
The three capitans blinked, for all of what Winston said was true. "Okay, well I just don't want them to see these," Sarah explained.
"We can't keep the General and his second in command in the dark like this though, they must know what is being said about them."
"But you don't understand how horrible this would be to be in the same vicinity as these two when they read this headline!" Sarah exclaimed as she held up the paper about Sara's 'pregnancy.'
"I'm sorry, Captain Borgan, but I must do my duty."
Winston walked out of the room. "Crap," Steffine announced, "let's shove the papers in their faces and just run as fast as we can."
Kain walked into the room. "Oh, hey Kain!" Sarah exclaimed.
Everyone had been really nice to him lately, because the wedding made him really depressed. "What do you have there?" Alyssa asked.
"The press has just found the honeymooners," he said, throwing the paper up on the table with the others.
No one read the title, because the photos said enough. "Oh...My...Bob..." was all Steffine could say.
"Dear lord, I was wrong about them!" Sarah exclaimed.
"AHH! My eyes! I must turn away and not stare at the dirtiness!" Alyssa screamed.
None of their comments were helping Kain any. "I'm sorry Kain, I know you feel really crappy right now," said Sarah.
Winston burst through the door. "God it's like a party in here all of a sudden," Alyssa mumbled.
"The Masquerade!" Winston said out of breath.
The capitans shot up, "Oh bob, this is not good!" Steffine exclaimed.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I wonder how the others are holding up without us?" asked Sara, lying out on the couch.
"I don't know, but being in control isn't that hard, so they must be doing okay," Randy commented from the other side of the coffee table, laying a card on it.
"Wow, I wonder if every honeymoon is as crazy as this?" asked Sara, laying down another card, "playing a crad game. That's some pretty messed up stuff going on here."
"Actually, this morning was messed up," Randy stated.
"No, that was almost normal for a honeymoon," Sara said, picking up the cards on the table.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sarah and Steffine had sent out their squads to deal with the crisis at hand. "Steffine, I have no clue what I'm doing!" yelled Sarah.
"Dont worry, I have a plan!" she yelled back.
"What?"
"Kick everyone's butt that has a mask on!"
"Okay, I think I can do that!"
Alyssa and her squad stayed back and were tending to the injured, while Sara's squad was dispersed through the 1st and 2nd squads.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"What should we do now?" asked Sara.
"I don't know, I'm kind of tired," Randy said, lying down on the bed.
Randy closed his eyes. "I don't know what's happening to me, all of a sudden I have fallen head over heels for Randy. Ever since he kissed me, I've wanted to be close to him. My heart was pounding this morning when I woke up, because I was asleep with him. Just being near him has gotten me all in a flutter. Whatever am I going to do, I know he doesn't feel this way about me, but I can't stop thinking about him," Sara thought.
What's wrong with me?" Randy thought as he closed his eyes, "All I can see is Sara, just there with me. All of a sudden it's like I like her or something. But she thinks I'm a jerk. I want to know what happened last night, I just have to know."
Randy opened his eyes, just in time to see Sara look away. "Were you looking at me while I had my eyes closed?" Randy asked.
"No, why would I look at you?" Sara replied coldly while looking out the window.
Sara sighed. "I hope that Sarah, Steffine, Alyssa, and Kain are okay."
"Why Kain?" Randy asked.
"Because he's my Lieutenant, and I care about him, okay?" she replied back, very hastily.
Randy held up his hands. "Okay, I just asked, don't rip me for it."
But little did they know that their people were in the midst of battle.
