At the Freedom Fighters' headquarters

"Any explanations now?" Modo said while leaning against the wall in the room he had walked the twins to talk with him. It was hard to find an empty room from there, but after a while of searching, they had found one smaller meeting room, which was maybe a bit ironic for their current situation. "I'd like to hear some too.." Jessica sighed while sitting on a seat next to a long table while Sapphire was sitting on the edge of the table, a bit far from them since Modo was also guarding the doorway so neither of them left too early.

"What do I need to explain to you.." She turned to look away, making Jessica get up and slam her hands on the table. "Why are you doing this again to me?! You stole every single male that I have been interested in during my lifetime!! I told you, you are not going to ruin this one from me!" She shouted before starting to sob. "Right! And your tears will help something, sis?!" Sapphire chuckled while turning to look at her. She saw Modo glaring at her which made her gulp and sigh while turning to look down at the ground.

"This ain't the same as the previous males.." She blurted out while looking away from them. "How so?! Your actions are the same as before! And because of you, I haven't gotten to know Modo that much I wished for or his friends! I always wondered why isn't he contacting me at all during these years, but it was just because of you!! You acted to be me and contacted him behind my back!" Jessica shouted at her sister while tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"I.." Modo started but she shook her head to him. "This is none of your fault, Modo.. You couldn't have known.." Jessica sighed before turning to look at her sister again. "Why did you do that, Sapphire?" Modo asked while turning to look at her too. "Answer at least to him if not me!! He deserves to know why you used him!" She growled while leaning against the table she had slammed her hands against.

"It's because.." Sapphire mumbled which made Jessica even more angry. She was so full of her sister's actions now. "Can't hear you!" She growled while wiping away her tears with her other hand. "It's because I fell in love with him!! I never used him, alright!" Sapphire shouted while turning to look at them now too. She was also crying, but it was her words that made Jessica freeze before she literally fell to sit on the seat again. Modo's eyes widened when he stood straight now after leaning against the wall with his arms crossed.

"Y.. You did?" Modo said, making Jessica chuckle sarcastically. "Great.. Well, have a wonderful future together you two!!" She shouted while getting up and walking towards the door, but Modo stood in front of her. He understood why she must have thought it the way since he had actually spent more time with Sapphire, without him knowing it either before than now. "Move.." She looked down at the ground while still crying. She felt so hurt, but then she felt his arms around her gently but tightly. "Don't leave.." He said, making her start crying more against his chest. Seeing that made Sapphire turn her head away while crying.

"Sapphire.. You acted to be your sister.. Even if you know me, I don't know you.. The Real you.. And because of this I don't know much about Jessica either, but since she's innocent to all of this, I'm going to give her another chance.." Modo said while looking at both of them one by one. "Y- You do?" Jessica sobbed, making him smile and nod at her. "But Modo!" Sapphire mumbled while turning to look at him.

"I don't actually have much to say to you.. I don't accept anything you did and I hope you stay away from me if you are not going to be your true self.." He said, almost coldly, while looking at the female who slowly got up from the table. "O- Okay.." She said while starting to walk to the doorway now. "Don't you have anything to say to your sister?" Modo said while moving away with Jessica, but he held the door closed with his tail now.

She just shook her head while looking down at the ground. "Not at all?" He said while gently rubbing Jessica's arm with his other hand. "I wish you'd understand.." Sapphire said before lifting her hand on the doorknob which around Modo's tail still was. "Understand what?" Jessica said while looking at her sister sadly. The Male could see both of the females were sad about the whole thing.

"Why I did that.." She said while turning to look at them. "No I don't.. Not at all!" Jessica said, making her sister almost snap now. "Because you are so perfect! Always have been!!" She shouted, making her twin confused now. "What?" Her eyes narrowed when she looked at her sister. "Every guy fell in love with you! You get attention from anyone you just want! And even if we look the same, no-one has ever liked me by myself!! That's the reason for you, sis!" She shouted and dashed away after Modo had unwrapped his tail away from the doorknob.

"Sapphire.." Jessica got left there confused while Modo sighed deeply. "Go after her.. Siblings are important in life.. Go before it's too late.. We can talk later" He said, making her turn to look at him. "Can we?" She asked, making him smile and nod at her. "I'll promise.." He said, making her smile at him gently before running after her sister. Modo left there too but instead of following them, he had gone to check where Vinnie was currently going.

"I even got to be a mechanic to hang around more guys, but no!! It didn't help either!" Sapphire shouted after noticing Jessica running after her. "You should have told me earlier! Using guys like that and tricking everyone isn't a solution! It doesn't help anyone! Not even you!!" Jessica said while lifting her hand on her sister's shoulder when she finally caught her. Sapphire had actually slowed down when she had said that, which actually made her turn around too.

"It's too late.." She sighed, making her shake her head. "No it's not.. It's never too late to do the right thing.." Jessica smiled at her, making her shake her head now. "It is! I did something that might cause me to go to jail.." She turned to look away while Jessica got confused again. "What do you mean?" She asked while nodding her to go to sit down on the closest chairs in the lounge area. "It was me who helped Scabbard.." She said, but then they heard someone talking behind them.

"I know that, Sapphire.. And I also know your little hacker operation to my devices.." Stoker said, making them both turn to look at the general who had some blood on his shirt when he walked to them. Jessica turned to look at her sister slowly after hearing what the general had just said. His words made Sapphire gulp deeply while just looking at him staring straight to her soul. What she had found out and what was she going to do with that information? Meanwhile in one of the bedrooms, Vinnie and Harley were sharing the bowl of Martian fruit ice cream Harley had brought to them from the cafeteria area.

"You know.. This is luxury nowadays.." Vinnie sighed while Harley gently pulled a spoon out of his mouth after feeding him some ice cream. They were laying on the floor on some mattresses since in that room there were no proper beds at all. She was leaning against Vinnie's stomach while they fed each other in turns.

"I know.. And I'm happy we got our things settled.." She smiled before he handed a spoon filled with ice cream to her now. "Maan.. You know I'm sorry about that.. But can't you still say what was the hug about?" He asked, making her sigh and sit up while lifting the bowl in front of him off her stomach. "I already told you I can't.. All I can say it was just that he has a lot of pressure about being such a highly rated general and I tried to cheer him up a bit.." She said, making him sit up now too.

"You know there's a lot of other females to cheer him up too.. Why did it have to be you? Doesn't he have his own already?" He growled while turning to look away. "Bull's eye, Vinnie.. Only if you know the truth.." She thought to herself while sighing deeply. "You really want to talk about that now?" She said, making him sigh and turn to look at her. "No.. Sorry.. Come back here.. Before the ice cream melts" He said and laid back down before tapping his well trained stomach, making the nurse giggle and lay back there before they continued eating the bowl empty.

"Guess what.. It actually surprised me you liked this flavor" She wondered, making him chuckle. "How so?" He said, making her giggle and got up a bit to lean against her hand while looking at him. "It's not beer or junk food flavored.." She smirked, making him start laughing. "Right! I wondered why it tastes so strange!" He said, making her laugh too before she fed him some ice cream again. "I know one way it would taste better.." She winked at him, making him get up a bit to lean against his hands now too.

"What?" He said, before she fed him some and kissed him right after it. "Mm! Harley!" He blushed so brightly it could easily be seen under his white fur. "Well, did you like it or not?" She blushed too, making him wink at her. "Do that again.." He said huskily while his tail was swinging around when he crawled now on to her. "This is the last spoon" She said, making him gasp dramatically. "And you did that till now?! Should we get some more then.." He said before she fed him the last spoon of ice cream and he leaned to kiss her passionately.

"I saw this being the last packet.. Not sure if anyone else had some sweets even for this long.." She sighed, making him purr against her chest now while she laid on her back and he laid on her. "And you stole it for us.. Sweetheart" He smirked, making her blush. "Well.. Don't tell anyone" She blushed, making him laugh and wink at her again. "We need to get rid of the evidence soon then" He said, making her laugh now too. After that he started to tickle her which made her laugh so much it made him feel so warm and loved. The Feeling was still a bit strange and new to him after all that had happened in his past. But he knew that this was the feeling he wanted to feel more and especially with this exact female.

Next morning, at the Brimstone army base

"Umm.. Throttle.." Carbine moaned before opening her eyes. She found herself laying on her temporary bedroom's bed since after they had finished in the medical room, they had sneaked to her room which wasn't far from that room either. They had got to another round in her room before they had fallen asleep in each other's loving arms. But in the morning she found herself being alone there. Where was Throttle?

"Honey?" She sat up while lifting her blanket on her chest to cover herself. She turned to look at the ground and she saw only her clothes there. Had he left after getting what he had wanted?! "Throttle! Where are you?!" She started to panic before she heard someone trying to open the door. "Babe?" She swallowed while lifting her underwear up from the ground with her tail just before the door opened.

"Oh, you have woken up already.. Sorry babe.. I wanted to surprise you before you wake up.." The Tan furred male sighed while walking in the room with a tray in his arms. He closed the door with his tail before walking to her bed. "What's this?" She said before she felt her body starting to tremble. "Some breakfast I got for us.. But hey, Carbine.. Are you alright?" He got worried when he saw that too. He lifted the trail to the small table next the bed, before sitting on the edge right next to her.

"I.. I.." She started sobbing which made him wrap his arms around her before pulling her against him. "I'm sorry.. I shouldn't have left before you woke up.." He sighed deeply when he realized what she had been afraid of. "No.. Your surprise was meant to be romantic.. I'm sorry I reacted like this.." She sobbed, making him shake his head and turn to look at her straight into her ginger colored eyes. "Babe.. There's no need for you to apologize for anything! This was our first time and you have been through a lot of horrible things before it.." He said while looking at her. She smiled gently and nodded at him while taking a deep breath.

"That's it.. Deep breath.." He smiled and took one with her which helped her calm down more. "How are you feeling now?" He asked when he saw her being now more relaxed. "Better.. Thanks, dear.." She said while grabbing him by his vest before pulling him closer to her. "Mmh? What is it now?" He smirked after seeing her smirking too. "Why do you have clothes on already?" She said before kissing him deeply, making a moan escape between his lips while he answered her kiss.

"Well.. You know it's not appropriate to walk around the base without having anything on.. And you know I'm a commander after all.." He said, making her lift her other eyebrow up. "A Commander huh? And you took the lead last night?" She smirked, making him chuckle and grin while climbing on her after taking his shoes off. "Well I had to.. Your belt started to feel too permanent on my back, General.. But if I knew it just needed me to resign from the army to have our first time, I would have done it long ago!" He grinned, making her chuckle and roll her eyes.

"But.. But.. I was just.." She mumbled while turning to look away while blushing. "You what? You literally said last night 'I'm going to punish you about leaving army', or how did you put it, General?" He grinned before leaning down to move her hair away to expose her neck which he started to kiss right away after seeing it. "Do I need to get my belt back then..? I would do that anytime again, Throt-- Umm!" She moaned when she felt his lips against her neck. It made her lift her back up a bit towards him which made him gulp while they both felt something hard again on their lower stomachs.

"What about the breakfast I brought to you?" He suggested in between continuing to kiss her neck. "Like you could concentrate on that either!" She giggled before moaning again. "Well maybe I'll eat mine first then.." He winked at her, making her blush before he got up a bit to lift up the blanket away from her. "T-Throttle.." She blushed while leaning against the mattress when she felt him starting now to kiss her stomach before getting lower and lower next.

Back at the Freedom Fighters' headquarters

"Where am I supposed to carry these?" Vinnie asked while Harley piled another box in his arms before they left from the base entrance to the main room. She was carrying two boxes in her arms too while Vinnie was having so many he didn't see where he was even going. "Just follow me! These are the new medical supplies I managed to get to the Freedom Fighters.." She smiled while having her tail wrapped to his which helped him to navigate behind her.

"This much?! Not sure if we ever had this much in the Army either.." He wondered before hearing her laughter again which made him smile. "Wherever you are, there's a lot of patches needed too, Vinnie!" She giggled, making him chuckle and twitch his nose. "That's right, Punk" General Stoker said while walking across from them with Modo and Jessica. "They came this fast?! Well done Harley!" The Chestnut furred female smiled when she noticed some familiar logos and labels on the sides of the boxes that told what was inside of them.

"But you are in the army?" She lifted her other eyebrow up, making her nod. "Still am but have thought about moving here.. But so far I need to stick with Carbine.. Anyhow, it's good to see that all Martians get healed if needed!" She said, making Stoker snort. "I'll make personally sure Scabbard won't go near her ever again.." He said and clearly regretted his earlier decisions about letting him so loose.

"You didn't know then, Stoke.." Harley said while they stopped walking to the trio. Vinnie was about to bump into her which made one of the boxes slip off the pile, but thanks to Modo's fast reaction, he caught it before it dropped to the ground. "Nice catch, bro!" He sighed since that box had some breakable stuff inside of it, which had been such a genius idea to put it on the top of the pile in the first place either.

"It still bothers me.." The General sighed but soon felt Harley's hand on his arm after Jessica had taken the boxes from her. "We all help her get through that.." She smiled, making him smile too and nod. "Yea! Especially when she has Throttle right by her side.." Modo said, making Vinnie grin. "Speaking of which.. He hasn't yet come back even if Old Timer gave him a rather strict time to come home" He grinned, making Modo smirk at him while the females rolled their eyes.

"Doing whatever they are doing.. It's not our business.." Jessica said, making Vinnie chuckle. "Or whoever.." He smirked, making Modo chuckle while they knew their bro as well as the Silver Star General did. "Reason why I told him to come back in the morning.." He sighed while rolling his eyes. "Hey let's not talk about their sex life behind their backs!" Harley said, making them all turn to look at her now.

"Says the model of chastity!" Jessica laughed, making the males laugh too. "Right! Like we were even talking about that.." Vinnie winked at her, making her roll her eyes. "I know you too well, Vincent!" She punched his biceps gently, making him grin and laugh more. "I bet she does, bro" They heard Throttle saying which made them turn around to see him walking from the bike storage while putting on his light blue scarf around his forehead, his hair all messy like his clothes were too.

"Well someone looks like he has got some.." Vinnie grinned, but then got a harder punch to his biceps which made another box slip away from him, but this time Throttle caught it in time while Harley glared at the white furred male. "Gentlemen don't talk about things like those behind the female's back.." Throttle smiled while lifting the box down the ground to fix his looks better.

"Oh c'mon! You know we're gonna get that information out of you sooner or later!" Vinnie laughed before they all started to walk towards the medical rooms where the delivery was supposed to go. "Later then.. Since someone taught, at least me well.." Throttle smirked while Stoker nodded at him, making him nod back at him.

"Right you are here and I was supposed to be at Brimstone an hour ago!!" Jessica realized and slammed her other hand against her forehead. "Carbine will manage a few minutes without you, Jess.. But leave before she calls me again.. Or maybe I'll just handle the radio to Throttle then.." Stoker grinned, making Throttle roll his eyes before they all started to laugh at that. "Right, tease us more, guys.. But be prepared for the general when she hears about this!" He winked at them, making them gulp and scatter around to carry the boxes where they should go. That made him laugh before he licked his lips while smiling. He could still taste her love there while his thoughts were clearly at hers too. Like she was thinking about him most of the time too.

After they had eaten the breakfast Throttle had brought to Carbine's room, they had heard an alarm which had meant Carbine went to the field now too since she had got permission to do that again after handling the paperwork so well. She had learnt from that warning, but she also had to admit that the alarm had come with a bit of a wrong timing since she would have preferred having another round with her male, especially when she also knew that sitting on a bike would feel more than just a bit sore after the evening, and the night, and the morning too, filled with love. When she had got herself dressed and they had got to the bike storage, they had shared a few powerful kisses more before they had needed to leave for their duties again. Even if their relationship was so happy and perfect right now, neither of them or their friends could ever guess what the future would bring to them. And sooner than they could even expect..

And since the commander and the general had been so in love with each other, neither of them, or mostly Throttle since he was the one who had got the food from the cafeteria area, had noticed that the water reserves were close to the very end. That was one of the many things that Stoker already knew but what else he knew that many others didn't..?
