"I saw her parents....... killed right in front of her....... I saw two military soldiers........ and I saw a little boy..... her best friend....... who tried to save her........ and got shot........."

Media ignored her, not at all believing her words. It was just an empty threat so she turned her back on the tent's entrance and closed her eyes.

Theta turned to Alpha. "Hey, Alpha, you think you could help Media put her suit on? She won't let me."

Alpha's eyes widened and he looked away embarrassed. "Uhhhh....sure, I guess." He said walking towards the tent.

Dante hugged her again. "I'm sorry. Did you recognize the boy?"

"No. I have no idea who he is. I feel I've never meet him. But, whenever I see him....... I cry......."

Media was enjoying her peace, happy to not hear Theta's voice anymore.

Alpha walked into the tent. "Media?"

Dante nodded. "He must have been someone special to you."

"He had to be.... he stood before the military..... he had nothing to protect himself with......"

Tears slid their way down her cheeks, shining a little in the light.

"He knew..... he would be killed...... but he still tried...... he still tried to save me........"

She hid her eyes in her hands, crying.

"He could of lived.... he could of ran away....... but he didn't........."

Media's eyes shot right open at the voice of Alpha and scrambled to look at the entrance, only to see he was inside the tent looking at her.

"Why are you here?" she asked, not believing Theta was serious. No way!

Alpha scratched the back of his head. "Theta said you needed help with your...uhh.. suit."

Dante patted Maria's back. "Its all right Maria, its all right. He sounded like a brave one."

"Alpha," she looked at him fully, rather unsure. "Do... you know what you're saying?"

Alpha scratched the back of his head. "Not really. I'm not sure why you would need help." He said a little nervous.

"You agreed without knowing?" she raised an eyebrow and crawled towards the bag Theta gave her and rummaged in it. Soon, she saw among towels, a two-piece swimsuit. She showed it to Alpha. "Understand now? I just didn't want to change into this!"

Alpha's eyes widened and he looked away. "Oh. Well........Yeah I understand why you wouldn't." He started to blush.

Media didn't know why but she ended up laughing. After settling down, she turned to him. "Right? Besides, help me wear this? That sounds really wrong, Alpha," she smirked.

"Well what was I supposed to do, say no to Theta? You know what happens when someone refuses her." He kept his gaze away. "And yeah, I know it does."

"Ha, Theta caught you, huh," she laughed again. "Yeah, well, now you know, you should go back to swimming, and I'll go back to sleeping. Everyone's happy, right, Alpha?"

Alpha nodded. "Yeah, every ones happy, well, Dante's trying comfort Maria about something and Theta's probably going to kill me, but yeah."

"Oh? The rabbit-girl? What's up?" she shrugged. "As if. But oh, well. She can't really do a thing about it now."

Alpha shrugged. "I don't know, didn't hear anything. Dante just walked over and started comforting." He walked toward the entrance. "But if Theta attacks me, I'm blaming you."

"I see. She seemed like a nice girl," she crossed her arms. "Fine. I'll take responsibility for that. By the way, Alpha," she said before he completely left and stood up herself. "Make Theta happy."

"Yeah, she does." He turned to her. "And I don't know how I'm going to do that."

"You really are stupidly dense, aren't you?" she shook her head.

"Now whats that supposed to mean?" He walked over to her. "And your scared of putting on a swimsuit, so I wouldn't talk."

"Stupid. I meant make Theta happy, she likes you," she said, pushing her to her back. "I don't know what my not wearing that swimsuit have got to do with anything."

Alpha took a step back. "You want me to...." He shook his head. "You want me to date her?"
