Day six brings us into the Nexus.

Sitting in her prison cell, Vendra Prog pouted as she looked at the photo of Ratchet she had on hand. The pink-haired former villainess had only one question on her mind every time she looked at the photo.
"Why didn't he understand?"
A sigh could be heard from the cell next to hers. "I'm sure he did, Sis. He's the last of his kind, too. He's just not the kind of person to go that far."
Vendra, not wanting to hear the truth in Neftin's words, lay on her bed and sulked. Why wouldn't Ratchet do anything it took to find his people? It made no sense to the Nether. She did what she could to find her people!
'Then again…I was betrayed because of it,' thought Vendra as Mr. Eye came to mind. She let out a shudder as she remembered the massive creature.
"You know, because we've been behaving ourselves in here and for helping stop Mr. Eye, we're apparently going to get early parole soon," said Neftin.
His sister perked up at this. "Really?"
Neftin hummed in confirmation. "From what I've heard, Ratchet and his little robot friend put in a good word for us. Maybe once we get out, we can find them and thank them…and you can finally have a civil conversation with Ratchet like you've been wanting."
The brother didn't even need to see his sister to know she was blushing. Even though the Lombax was an enemy at one point, Vendra had taken up a liking of sorts to him, much to Neftin's amusement.
"Sh-Shut up!" squeaked Vendra as she hid her face with her hands. "Don't you say anything to Ratchet when we see him again!"
"Of course, Vendra," replied her brother with a chuckle.
Another pout came to Vendra's face. She could tell her brother was making fun of her. Before going to sleep for the night she glanced one last time at Ratchet's photo, blushing once more. She couldn't wait to see him again.
FIN

Second Sony series I've written for and it's for one of my all time favorite Sony IPs. Ratchet & Clank is just the best, with Sly Cooper being a very close second.
I could see Vendra developing something for Ratchet, considering how in her mind he would understand her the most. It also helps that she's no longer evil.
