Her New Life

Chapter 36: Suspicious of Sheer

I decided not to tell the others who I got the information from. I was going to tell them that I ended up stealing it from the Space Pirates on my way back. A poor lie but eh. Once, I arrived at the house. I unpacked the groceries with the help of Sugar. Unfortunately. It seems I missed a few groceries as we were sorely lacking.

"Dark, did you get the stuff on the back of the list?"

I pause and look at Sugar, "There was a back?"

"I guess not then. Well we've only got enough for two weeks so you'll have to go out again later." Sugar sighs. "When is this going to be over?"

She looks sad and I give her a reassuring pat on the back, "Hey, I know it's hard and stressful. And I know things will never be the same. But when this is all over, hopefully everything will be a little bit better. Just gotta have something to look forward to, like maybe a future with someone." I wiggle my eyes suggestively and Sugar gives me a judgmental look.

"Why are you like this?"

"Honestly, I don't know." I snicker and finish with the groceries. "I'll see you later. I have to go, talk to the Ancients." I wave goodbye and head down to the D-lab with Majung.

"I don't think you should be doing that." I turn to Majung as the blue light from his speaking envelopes me.

"I don't know what you're talking about." In truth I think he can tell that I'm thinking of going back to see Sheer.

"You shouldn't go and see her, she can't be trusted."

"But, she helped us. Maybe she's turning over a new leaf. Doesn't she deserve another chance."

"Let me ask you this. If she really wants to change, why now? After losing multiple stones. Surely, you understand that this is an unnecessary risk." Majung taps his tail against the floor in annoyance as we walk through the D-Lab.

"Look, sometimes it takes time for people to come around to the idea of changing, maybe losing the stones gave her a nudge in that direction."

"I agree with the lizard for once, she can't be trusted."

"Between the two of you I swear I can't get a moment alone in my own thoughts." We found Seth quickly and I handed him the drive.

"What's this? And where did you get it from?"

"Nicked it from some Spectral Pirates on the way back from the grocery store. Don't worry I wasn't followed. It basically is supposed to disarm the droids completely if you plug it into the captain droid."

"And you're giving me this because?" He prompts.

"I figured you could make multiple for the others."

"Sure. I'll get this back to you by the end of the day. Nice work."

"Thanks." With that I leave to go train with the others.

Author's Note: Hi, so sorry this chapter came so late. I'm having issues with my computer's WiFi, so I struggling to open google docs and work on this chapter. I'll get another chapter out later this week too, to make up for it. Also, important announcement. This season is going to end in a few chapters. No worries this book will be coming back but I'm planning on taking a few months of hiatus and then starting back up with Season 2.
