"Alright yo utwo. I honestly don't know who's nuttier, you two or my cooking?" Damien says with a shake of his head and turns away from the two.
"YOur cooking." Ayla says and sticks her tongue out slightly as she follows him.

"Back in my day, I knew two of our brave boys like you," Billon laughed, pointing at Cryer and Rusk. "Privates Griffin and Tooms. Both of them were two peas in a pod. They slept together, played chess together, and they even fought together at Ankrei when we went over to hammer the Boche!" he grips his fist triumphantly as he reminisces.

* In the background news crews begin to arrive and along with other mammals they begin making preparations for the scheduled press conference - erecting temporary platforms and structures and raises the UAC flag and the flags of member planets *

Rusk raised a brow at Billon's reminiscing, and protested, "Yeah, well, we're not together like that, if you're suggesting what I think you're suggesting."
"Oh, Josh, stop being such a kidder," Cryer giggled, inwardly loathing himself for this as he suddenly grabbed Rusk and kissed him on the mouth. The groundhog's eyes widened in shock at this.
Still kissing his comrade, Cryer saw, out of the corner of his eye, the UAC news people setting up the various equipment for the news conference he knew was being planned, remembering their orders from Wing Commander Sludge.
OOC: I know Sludge never gave Cryer and Rusk any such orders as the ones they're about to carry out, but if it's all right, I'm just, er, pretend. XD

Damien glances over his shoulder and sees the kiss.
"Hey you two, i can tell you were there is a cheap hotel at." He offers. "Wouldn't want you two to get stuck on camera now."
Ayla barely keeps from Dropping Shadu-pup as she almsot falls over laughing.

Billon turns away as the two kiss. "This wasn't what I was implying," he says in a disgusted tone. "General Pantryman would've said you're suffering from a case of the fuzzy-wuzzies," he looks over at the camera crews and becomes intrigued. "What in the name of shrapnel is all this?"

After a moment or so of this, Rusk shoves Cryer off of him, a hilarious popping sound ensuing as their lips come apart. Cryer staggers back, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand as the groundhog turned and walked off down the path.
"The fuzzy-wuzzies, indeed," Cryer muttered, suddenly feeling intensely embarrassed. "You'll have to excuse Josh. Public displays of affection make him uneasy." In response to Billon's inquiry about the nearby goings-on, he added, "A press conferance."
Then, turning, he trotted off after Rusk.

Katar walked through the Gardens by herself. Her form fitting battle armor made clacking sounds as she walked along the paved walkways. Seh walked up to the central monument and stopped. She read over the names that were listed on it. Her eyes moistened as seh read them.
"All these are real soldiers and heros. They all fought and gave their lives to defend the varying races of the Aniverse.." She whipsered as seh drew a finger along a couple of names.
A tear slowly rolled down her cheek and fell to the ground with a small splash.
"Died adn gave their lives, just like my older brother did. At least they were given the recognition they deserved." She said with a gentle sniff as she wiped her eyes.
Lost in thought, Katar doesn't see or hear Damien and Ayla walk behind her. Ayla looks over and sees her standing there, with a tear falling from her cheek.
"Wonder what is her problem?" Ayla mused pointing.
Damien looked over adn saw her as well.
"Myst have known a few of them, i guess." Damien remarked as they walked.

Cryer finally caught up to Rusk, pausing and spitting on the ground in distaste. "Ech," he said, looking revolted, "when's the last time you brushed your teeth?"
As soon as he made certain they were out of sight of the other mammals in the park, Rusk hauled off and smacked Cryer across the face, sending the skinny hare reeling. "Ow! What was that for?"
"You sicko! Don't you ever kiss me like that again!" He spat, even more disgusted than Cryer. "Blech, for frell's sake, man, tell me next time you're gonna pull a stunt like that! Now come on, we don't have much time before the press conferance starts, and we need to be ready by then."

Billon looked up at the monument where Katar, Ayla and Damien were all standing. The names of those men, his friends, relatives and even total strangers all snuffed out because of a maniacal Toad General who wanted to rule the cosmos.
He was one of the lucky ones, his invalidation meant that he was one of a minority who survived into the next war. Billon rubbed his hand over the medal he'd been awarded at the Battle of the Semme, and remembered...

Ayla looked at Katar and sighed.
"Let's leave her alone." She suggested and Damien nodded.
They turned and walked off. NOt even a few second after they left, Katar's emotions over took her adn she dropped to the ground in a kneeling position, crying into her hands. Tears slowly fell between her fingers as memories of her brother's death flood back.

Billon walks up to Katar and notices a mark where she'd tracedher finger along the name of her brother. Billon knew the name very well, for he happened to have been a member of a fellow regiment.
"He is gone, but not forgotten." Billon says soothingly to Katar.

"My brother should have never joined! Atlantis wasn't in the war, there was no reason for him to go!" Seh said between sobs. "Now I"m alone, becasue of hi schoice!"
She wipes her eyes, trying to stop crying, but isn't able to. It is clear she has held it back for to long.
"Why did he go!? Where did he die?! Can anyone tell me that much at least?!" She said as she cried even harder.

Cryer felt sick at heart with guilt over everything as he heard the sounds of sobbing nearby, and looking at all the names of lost, loyal soldiers on the memorial made him uneasy. "Rusk," he said finally, "I, uh, I'm starting to have second thoughts about this whole thing." Looking around warily, he whispered, "I mean, we're talking about murder, here!"
"Don't tell me you've gone soft on me," Rusk whispered back with a sneer. "Besides, as I recall, cooperating with the toads was your idea in the first place. We're already reasponsible for who knows how many deaths back on Warren, so what's one more going to matter? And after we kill that fool of a chairman, we can go back to Toxus One and finally get heap big rewards for our efforts!"
Cryer licked his lips. Throughout his entire ordeal as a spy for the toads, he's always been torn between mounting guilt at his betrayal, and his fear of what the toads would do to him if he disobeyed them. Now wasn't any differant. But, as usual, his sense of self-preservation won out, and he merely nodded at what Rusk said.

The lad was lost at Gallopelzi in 3194. Because of his sacrifice, he saved his platoon of 450 mammals from gunfire. If he were still alive, he would be considered one of the greatest war heroes of our time, as is Captain O' Hare now," Billon thinks a moment about what he's just said.
"I'm sorry that he had to go like this, miss. It's not your fault that he was too eager."
