A.N. Oban is my childhood. I rediscovered it about a week ago and got super happy and realized just how awesome it is once again. So I'll be writing one shots until I lose my muse. I don't feel like rewriting the entire story with Evelyn, but I looked and looked for a story with a female pairing and OC. Obviously I couldn't find one so I decided to write some one shots for myself. I myself am bisexual, just to clear up any confusion. So the pairing here will be Eva/my OC Evelyn. If there are any particulars scenes from the show anyone would like me to write with Evelyn, let me know. It might just happen! :) Enjoy!
Well, this one is going to be split in two parts, cause it's now 1 AM and I have to be up at 6. Next part should be up in a day or two.
"Huh?" Evelyn stalls mid stride with a box of tools in her hands as a person, a girl slightly younger than her, passes her in a matching mechanics outfit with her own box of supplies in tow. Evelyn can't help but stare after and ogle her.
"Hey, Evelyn, c'mon or you'll get left behind!" She registers her adoptive brother's, Stan's voice. "I'm gonna be mad if Koji and I got yelled at for nothing." He says jokingly.
"Oh, ha ha, you're so funny." She playfully punches his arm after setting her box in the back of the truck. "Like you'd be able to get any work done without me anyway."
"What are you talking about? You may be able to do the work beyond typical standard, but you goof off ninety percent of the time." Evelyn can't help but growl at his words.
"Miguel might have called you and Koji his right and left arms, but he called me his brains and kicker."
"Oh, the kicker part is accurate." Koji throws in, cringing slightly. Evelyn was certainly called that for a reason, and Koji as well as Stan had felt the broad side of her foot upon their delicate behinds more than once.
"Erm, Blue's in the back, right?" Stan sighs at Evelyn's tentative question.
"Ev, you know we can't bring her. I left her with mom." Tears instantly spring to Evelyn's eyes.
"STAN! You said it was my dog or art supplies, so I chose Blue! Now I have nothing!" Evelyn's voice slowly rises with hurt and slight panic.
"Calm down, little sis. I packed all your art stuff up for you while you were packing."
"Everyone into the trucks! We're late!" Ah, the lovely Mr. Wei. Evelyn can't help but cringe as the though of being glad to not be his family member flows across her mind.
As Stan turns to get into the truck, Evelyn delivers a well aimed kick. Right on his behind. Stan in turn goes flying a few feet and face plants. Evelyn laughs as Stan moans in pain. Koji looks on, terrified, keeping his back to the truck. Evelyn eyes Koji.
"C'mon, Koji. After you."
Koji just begins mumbling incoherently and scardly. "Er, no, Evelyn. That's okay. Lady's first."
As Evelyn pulls the door of the truck open, a big black furry body springs from underneath the truck and into the cab. With little more than a gasp, Evelyn calls the dogs name out happily.
"In! Everyone get in!" Mr. Wei calls frantically.
As the three of them pile in, the low content wolf/Alaskan Malamute cross yips like an excited puppy, frantically lapping at Evelyn's face, her one blue and one brown eye sparkling with happiness.
"How in the world did she get here?" Stan asks, more than a little surprised at seeing his adopted sister's loyal pet.
"The only thing I can possibly think of is Amy either dropped her off, or Blue jumped out of the car behind you when Amy dropped you off." Evelyn says happily, running her fingers through the dogs plush, soft fur.
Evelyn pays no attention to the speed they're traveling at in favor of rubbing at her precious partner in crime. She does however glance up to the front passenger seat, where the gunner boy, Jordan Wilde resides and she raises an eyebrow as he squawks in the front seat, about what she didn't know and didn't care. She didn't have a good enough read on him yet to fully say she liked him or not, but he would certainly have to earn her respect and trust before she'd let him do something she didn't much agree with.
Evelyn suddenly feels a gentle elbow in her side and looks up to Stan and Koji, who are giving her the biggest shit eating grins she'd ever seen them wear. "So, I seen you eyeing that pretty girl mechanic. Does my little sis have a crush...?" Stan teases lightly.
"Can't you both stop acting like I'm a full out lesbian?!" Evelyn hisses at them.
"B-but I thought you were!" Koji stutters out.
"Erm, no, I'm bi. Thanks there, Koji." Evelyn rolls her grey eyes and tucks a loose strand of chocolate colored mid back length wavy hair behind her ear. As Koji begins stuttering apologies, Evelyn assures him he won't be receiving a well aimed and maybe even well deserved kick in the rear, much to his relief.
Evelyn snaps back into focus as a huge ship and bright beam of light becomes visible as the day begins to break over the horizon. She is completely awestruck at its glory. Even as they race past corn and wheat fields that she had been paying no attention to in favor of ignoring it all to ease her growing sense of dread, she still feels it full force. Even as they're sucked up into the bright beam of light while Don Wei pleads with Rick to hurry.
They're being pulled up into the ship, without their star racers and pilot.
Evelyn panics, frantically turning this way and that to try to see out the windows to try and spot Rick and the semi. She breaths a sigh of relief when she sees Rick drive the truck and racers under the beam as well and begin pulling them up.
Once the ship closes, everyone cautiously steps out of their respective trucks.
"Some fancy spaceship, huh?" Jordan says sarcastically. Evelyn rolls her eyes as her boots hit whatever it was the floor of the ship was made of. Stone maybe? Blue's claws click the floor as she lands beside Evelyn, and she peers up curiously.
"Well," she starts. "Nothing to do until we get there."
"Any news of how long this is gonna take, Don?" Rick questions.
"I haven't a clue." Said man replies.
"Well, it's at least 25,000 light years away, right?" Koji asks rhetorically. "It all depends on how fast the ship is traveling. It could take as little as 12 hours to as much as 25,000 years.
"I doubt it'll take that long, Koji." Evelyn sighs out.
"Well, at least the 25,000 years." Stan clarifies.
"If it really is only 12 hours, that's just enough time to catch some shut eye before we glitch down." Jordan puts in.
"So, which planet is it we're going to?" Evelyn questions Don.
"I'm not entirely sure, young lady." Don answers simply.
So helpful... Evelyn thinks to herself and looks down at her feet.
Evelyn listens as her little rag tag group discusses different matters. Food and sleep were the only things on her agenda, but the only food she knew of was the bags of chips and pastries she'd smuggled into her duffle bags. And she was not sharing. Not. N. O. T. Especially her soda and coffee. Normally she couldn't stand instance coffee, but this occasion called for it, she supposed.
"C'mon, Blue." Evelyn calls quietly as she moves around to the back of the truck. She pulls the back gate open and quickly finds her light blue and green duffle bags. Everyone's was color coded to prevent mistakenly taking someone else's bags. She pulls one over and open with a piece of tape attached to it dubbing it 'Cloths and Blankets.' If she recalled correctly, she had three of them marked the exact same out of five, now seven as two more full of art supplies were added. One of the other two contained her hoard of snacks and drinks wrapped in a blanket to minimize sound, and the last contained more snacks and toiletries. Blankets easily consisted of fifty percent or more of her packed supplies. Even she had to admit she is a blanket hoarder.
She pulls out a pajama shirt two sizes too big with a skull and crossbones on the front and plaid pajama pants that went down to her ankles. "I'm not sleeping in this jump suit. C'mon Blue." Evelyn's hand ghosts over Blue's leather spiked collar and Blue fallows.
Evelyn walks around to the other side of the star racers away from the boys and strips herself of her shirt and bra. As she bends down to pick up her clean shirt, she notices Blue staring at the top of the star racers with her ears perked high. "What's wrong, Blue? Ya hear something?" Evelyn runs her hands over over Blue's ears, causing the dog to glance at her. Yet she remains true and continues to stare at the racers, her ears perked and tail curled over her back.
Evelyn fallows Blue's gaze as she pulls her cloths on, yet doesn't see or hear anything. Blue tilts her head from left to right, almost curiously. "C'mon good girl, let's go get us some blankets. I'll take a look at the racers before Rick flies." Even as Evelyn walks back around the racers, she can't help but watch the rims of them. She shrugs it off when she sees nothing, and u zips her bag again, placing the worn cloths in and pulling three blankets out. One a black and blue down comforter, one her favorite fluffy blanket with a wolfs face on it, and the last a warmer than it looks fan cotton blanket with cave drawing like patterns on it. She throws the last to Stan and Koji, who take it with smiles and thanks.
"Got another in there I could use?" Jordan asked hopefully.
"Erm... It kills me ta tell ya no, cause I truly am a people pleaser despite my complete hatred of them, but no. Family only." Evelyn says carefully and Jordan just groans.
"That's cold, little cat." Rick chuckles warmly.
"Little cat...?" Evelyn whispers to herself in confusion, tilting her head slightly to the side, something she obviously picked up from Blue.
Deciding to ignore Rick's antics, she pulls her red panda stuffed animal from her bag, zips it up, picks up her blankets and moves to lay closer to the star racers, away from everyone.
Who ever said you were too old for stuffed animals?
Laying her comforter down as a makeshift mattress, she wraps herself up comfortably, balling the end of the blanket up to make a makeshift pillow. "Want under?" Evelyn asks Blue quietly, lifting the blanket to expose her torso in invitation.
Blue simply wraps herself around Evelyn's back on top of the blanket and lays her head on Evelyn's rib cage. Evelyn in turn wraps herself back up, hugging the red panda to her chest.
