Molly woke up as the sun began to shine through the window. She tried to turn over, but she felt someone's iron-like grip upon her, only to remember the events of last night. She and Jordan had slept in the same bed.
"Mrs. Snuggles, please don't go." he mumbled in his sleep. Molly couldn't help but think how peaceful he looked as he slept. You wouldn't think that this is the same tough-acting gunner boy you see everyday.
"Don't worry Jordan, Mrs. Snuggles is going to stay right here with Mr. Snuggles. They're married, remember?" Molly said as she cuddled closer to Jordan and buried her face in his neck.
"Your so soft Mrs. Snuggles. What body lotion do you use?" Jordan said as he hugged Molly just a little bit tighter.
"Jordan, wake up. There's something I need to do." Molly said as she began tickleing Jordan. He woke up with a start, and then began dying of laughter.
"I'm up! I'M UP!" he said as he pulled her off of him so he could regain control of his breathing.
"Yeah, after how many times you called me Mrs. Snuggles?" Molly said as she sat on her heels. Jordan couldn't do anything but blush.
"I thought I warned you?" he said with a chuckle.
"You did, but I didn't really think that you meant it." she stood up and grabbed her a set of clothes. "I'm going shower. Forgot it last night." she said as she chuckled to herself.
"Can I go too?" Jordan said with puppy eyes. Molly did all she could to stop herself form slapping him across the face.
"NO WAY! YOU PERV!" she said as she pushed him down on the bed hard.
"Ooh, I like it rough." Jordan said as he smirked and pulled her down on top of him. He then checked to make sure the door was locked. Which it was.
"I would sure hope so!" Molly said angrily. She pulled her arm back and sent it flying at Jordan's face. He caught it easily, and then bent the arm the was supporting Molly to have her fall ontop of him.
"Chill ok? I was kidding." he leaned up and kissed her lips softly. She pulled away, still angry, and sat back up. Jordan sat up right after. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her inot a more passionate kiss. He felt her body slowly relax from the tension of anger.
"Look dude I still need that shower. So can we stop so I can go?" she said as she tried to pull away, but to no avail.
"Only if i can come with you." Jordan said with a smirk. Molly slapped him as hard as she could.
"Hold up, lover boy! We've only been dating for a day!" When Jordan let go to caress his red cheek, she jumped away as fast as lightning, grabbing her clothes and running to the bathroom and locking the door.
"I can pick locks, you know." Jordan said as he stood up.
"Can't get through Rick though!" she said as she turned on the shower.
About fifteen minutes later, she was out. Her hair had decided not to go all emo spike on her, and just stayed down, pin needle straight. She looked over at Rick, and decided to play a prank on Jordan. She told Rick her plan, and Rick nodded. He was on her side like a big brother.
"MOLLY? WHERE THE HECK ARE YOUR CLOTHES?" Rick yelled out as loud as he could. And o sooner the words left his mouth, Jordan came running around the corner, eyes wide and energy starting to form in his pants.
"Gotcha! Molly is in her room, trying to get herself ready for the next race. She's a lil nervous because her race is against Spirit. Dunno why though, kep mumbling something about her mom. Try to calm her nerves. She needs you right now." Rick said as he put a reassuring hand on Jordan's shoulder and walked away. Jordan knocked on her door before she called to him to let him in.
"Hey Mol-ster, you ok?" Jordan said as he walked in. He found her, crying on her bed, her back to him.
"Yeah, just a little nervous is all." She said, her voice was shakey and cracked when she talked louder.
"Wanna talk about it?" Jordan said as he sat down beside her. She froze for a moment, and the nodded slowly. "I don't know how you'll react to the news though." she said as she sat up and wiped her eys dry.
"I'll do the best I can to keep myself from laughing at your fear." Jordan said as he grabbed her hand and gave a small squeeze.
"Do you know who Maya Wei is?" she said, keeping her head down.
"I heard that she was on of the best female racers in all time." Jordan said.
"Well, she's my mom. Or well, she was. When I was seven, she raced against Spirit in a intergalactic race. She was rounding the corner and Spirit passed over her and then she-" she cut herself off as she began to sob uncontrollably. Jordan did all he could to calm her down.
"Sorry. Well, she crashed and died that day. A few months later, my dad dropped me off at a boarding school, and I didn't hear from him in ten years. So I built my rocket seat, and escaped at seventeen years old. I went to Wei Racing, where I knew i would find him. And when i was in the hangar of all these ships, i saw him. He was so different, and he didn't even recognize me. He thought I was a boy! I told him that i came here in search of a job, and he said there were no openings. Then a few moments later, he fired his head mechanic and hired me right ofter i fixed up one of his ships that weren't working right." she let herself breathe and gove Jordan a chance to take it all in.
"Ready?"
"Yeah"
"Well, the president arrived, and then next thing i know, there's Rick, you, Stan and Koji, all in this big truck. And the crogg.. and then here." she strted going too fast to be able to let Jordan process this information.
"Wait! What does all of this have to do with your dad?" Jordan said. He was about ready to pull his hair out his head.
"Maya Wei is my mom. I came to Wei Racing to find my dad. Racing is in my blood. How can you not see that all of this is pointing right at Don Wei?" she said as she stood up and became angry.
"Don Wei is your dad?" Jordan said, horrified. It just so happens that Rick, Stan and Koji weren't far from the door and they heard every last word. They all bursted in through the door and started asking questions.
"Chill! You all have to keep this away from Don's ears!" she said in a whisper. "All i really wanted was my dad back, not to get mixed up in all this." she said as she hung her head.
Everyone but Rick started to sniffle or let a few tears slip down thier faces. Soon after, everyone burst into sobs, and Rick even had a few tears and chokes on his breath. Molly fell to her knees and just let herself fall to the floor, she didn't care about racing at that point in time, she wanted to get her dad back, and be a family again.
"Hey, Little Mouse. Don't give up so easily. The Dons kinda cold now, but you can break through the ice." he picked her up and sat on the bed and cradled her against him like a small baby. "I've never cried for anyone other than me, and the fact that you made me choke on my own tears is something." he said as he began to cry once more.
Rick sat her up on the bed and she sobbed contiously, and everyone group hugged her. She kept crying, and she felt like she would cry until the ends of time. No one moved a muscle, expect blinking away tears and their bodies being racked by sobs.
Finally, after her sobs diminished into whimpers, Molly spoke. "My mom, Maya, was killed by Spirit. I'm really scared that I'll lose my life against him. But I'm willing to take a chance to win this race. Will you guys support me in any action I take?"
"Little Mouse, I'm with you all the way. Just nothing reckless. We can't afford to lose another pilot." Rick said as he gathered her into a hug. Rick was beginning to act like the big brother she never had, and never would get.
"Yeah, Molly. We're with you all the way!" Said Stan.
"Please, guys. Call me Eva. But not in front of my dad. I don't want him knowing." she said as she looked down again.
"So your real name is Eva Wei?" Jordan said as he rubbed her back.
"More or less. But you can still call me Molly if you want." she looked up at him.
"I think I'll call you by your real name. Besides, you need to get used to being called Eva Wilde. Your name won't stay Wei for long if this keeps up." Jordan said as he hugged her.
"Jordan, what are you talking about?" she said as she looked at him with a dumbfounded expression.
"I'm glad all of you guys are here to see this. The cam is right there, start recording." Jordan said.
"Rolling in 3..2..1.." and Koji pointed the finger at Jordan, signaling him that the cam was recording. Jordan nodded and turned to Eva.
"Whether it be one day, or one million days, I am here for you. I know we've only known eachother for only so long, but you and I are of age. And we can make decisions for ourselves after this is all over." he said to her. He got down on one knee, and continued.
"Molly, when we return back to Earth, will you..." he stopped and swallowed hard.
"Yeah, Jordan?" she said as she kept giving him the quizzical stare.
"Will you promise to marry me when we go home?" His voice cracked out on him, and he had the reddest face you could put on such tan skin. He opened his palm to reveal a small ring. It was made of hematite, with stars and moons ingraved into it and painted a deep red color.
"Jordan, I-I really don't know what to say." Molly sputtered out, as her voice began to crack. Rick nudged her shoulder a bit.
"You can start by saying yes. And maybe a kiss to seal the deal?" he said to her. But she was to stunned to say anything. Then suddenly, she leapt off of the bed and into Jordan's arms.
"Jordan, you don't know how happy I am to have ever heard these words! But what about my dad? What if he-"
"It's ok. If you don't want him to know about everything, it's cool. This is being made for my mom and sister to see." He smiled at her and gave her a quick peck on her lips.
"Thank you, Jordan. You've made me the happiest girl alive." she said as she hugged him. Koji stopped recording, and they all had a small celebation.
But little did Eva know, that she was about to have the greatest shock of her life.
