Jayeson sat on a stoneoutside of the garage. It was another hot day, and Zara was inside working on yet another zoomer for someone. He didn't mind, because he knew she loved it. He smiled a bit. Zara was such a great person, and he didn't think she knew how much he liked her. It was terrible, but it was the only thing that scared him. Losing her. Thats why I haven't said anything. I'm afraid she'll turn me away. She closed his eyes, trying to warm himself in the blistering sun.
" He jumped uward, going onto the roof to scout. He wanted Zara to know if anyone else came around looking for a mechanic.

Xander's tires roared as he zoomed through the desert. His goggles were down and everything was glazed with a yellow color as he came up on Zara's garage. His best friend, Tray was right behind him.
Tray zoomed up close to Xander and stopped with him right in front of Zara's garage. He flipped out of the buggy and lifted his goggles up.
"Hey, Jay..." Xander waved. "Zara's here right? I'm buying a part off of her. Oh, and I needed to give her this." He reached down and pulled out her JET-Board that he had fixed for her.

Jayeson jumped backward, ending up facing Xander and Tray.
" Yes, she's in the garage. Go ahead inside, but beware flying wrenches. Someone trashed a thousand mark Zoomer and brought it here for her to fix, and sh's been swearing up a storm." He looked at the Jet board, recognizing it. It was the one he had wrecked, and then unsuccesfully tried to repare with magic. He walked over, looking at it and shaking his head. No more jetboarding for him.
" Just be careful. I don't want to have to fix a broken head." He joked.

Xander chuckled and started towards the small side door. He gripped the handle and pulled it open. Xander's eyes widened and he ducked as a wrench came flying at his head.
Tray caught the wrench, barely, with his hand. "Holy shit...you were right." He laughed and looked at Jayeson. "Um...I'm not black....I just got back from the tanning salon!" he called into Zara's garage. He looked at Xander and laughed.
Xander shook his head. "It's ok, Tray...I'm pretty sure Zara's not racist." He stepped into the garage and dodged another wrench. "Zara, will you stop it with the wrenches? I brought you JET-Board back. What the hell did you do to it? It took me four hours to fix!"

Zara held the back the wrench she was just about to throw after he other one, stopping to look back.
" I ran it into a few trees and across a river. I was racing a few Scorpions, the bastards that they are." She smiled and set the wrench down, wiping her hands on her dirty pants and then wiping her sweaty forehead. She was oil smeared, her hair out of place, but she was still smiling.
" I want to kill the person who brought this damn zoomer in. They destroyed the motor and fried the alternator. Damn them back to the turn and back. I hate idiots who do that. It costs more to fix the damn thing than buy a new one." In the background a few things clanked around, the sign of her venting rage. She took a rag and tried to get the grease out of the scales on the back of her hand. Her scales were normally a translucent color, but at the moment they were a dark grey.
" Anyway. So what are you upto? And what is Jayeson doing out there? Watching for so called bandits again. Man, he is crazy sometimes, but ya gotta love those mages." She smiled and walked up to give Xander a hug.

Xander smiled back and hugged Zara as a friend would do. "Here's your jet board." He said, pushing it into her arms as he pulled away. "Let me take a look at the zoomer, I'm good with engines. Who do you think fixed Audra's engine when she blew it?" he laughed and studied the engine. "Speaking of her..." He murmured. "Did she...you know...tell you her secret?" He asked, noting the day he meet Darren and learned Audra's secret.
Tray smiled and looked around the sand. "So, Jayeson, what have you been up to these days?" He asked, just trying to make short talk.

Zara looked at Xander. She knew about Audras secret, she sould smell it all over the girl.
" She didn't tell me, but I know." She took the jet board and hung it up where it belonged until the next time she trashed it. Motioning for Xander to follow, she left Tray and Jayeson to talk.
" This thing isnt worth a frikking mark!" She told him
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Jayeson came down near Tray.
"Not much really. Scavenging wrecks and finding artifacts. And trying to keep Nosy over there out of trouble." He looked over to where Zara was working, thinking how she looked good even covered in oil and grease.
" I would swear she was crazy going after those finking scorpions by herself. Not only trashed her board but nearly killed herslef in the process. Lucky I was there to save her ass from being grassed." He shook his head, trying to push the protective feelings to the back of his mind.

Xander kept quiet as he walked with Zara and studied the engine. He just couldn't believe that Audra didn't tell him. He hadn't talked to her in forever. He wondered where she went...but he guessed she didn't want him to know. He looked at the engine. "He just blew a gas link. I can have it fixed in twenty minutes." he nodded.
Tray nodded. "Those damn Scorpions had me for a second a few weeks ago. I was surprised that i actually got out alive!" he laughed. He learned up against his vehicle. "How many years were you a Scorpion?" Tray asked, out of curiosity.

Zara grabbed the lines, finding the break.
" Ya, but half the other stuff is dead too." She sighed. " Oh well. We can fix it. Its not that hard." She reached down inside, pulling out more stuff to fix.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Jayeson looked out at the sands.
" Since birth until seven or eight years ago. They exiled me for being too funny. So they're not the most joking of people. They are damn good killers. I'm just better at it." He laughed, glad he was no longer there. Glad he was free. Glad I have a friend as good as Zara. If only she could see what shes done for me, what she means. He sighed and looked back at Tray.

Xander started to piece the parts back together and looked at Zara. "Why don't you think Audra didn't tell us? Your like her sister and I'm...a friend." Xander shrugged and looked down at the table. "Why wouldn't she tell us?" he asked again.
Tray laughed. "Too funny, eh? Damn, they are pretty stupid to let a guy like you go. Your a strong fighter. I wouldn't want to piss you off. And you can take that as a compliment." He laughed.

Zara stopped for a minute, trying to come up with at least a half assed answer. Nothing came. She stared at nothing for a moment.
" I have no clue. Maybe it was something she was ashmed of, and didn't want to tell others. I don't really know though." She started to move again, getting the parts she would need.
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Jayeson looked in to make sure that Zara was working, so that she wouldn't over hear anything.
" Hey Tray, can I ask you something." Jayeson pulled in a long breath. He was unused to having to ask anyone for anything, and it showed. " Say you liked someone, but didn't know a good way to tell that someone. What would you do?" He looked at the other man, something glittering behind his green eyes.

Xander stopped and took a break for a few minutes. "I gotta go." He lied. "I uh...I gotta get back to Zationia. Doctor appointment with Jada. She says I might have this skin condition." He lied. "I'll see you later." He raced out of the garage.
Tray laughed and looked at Jay. "You're asking me? Man, I've never been in love! At least...not that way." he hushed his tone. "But.." He looked over his shoulder at the garage. "I have a hunch about who your talking about. Zara..." Tray sighed. "Well, if I had a girl like Zara; I would take her to a place where she could never get angry. A place that calms her...and then tell her slowly. Don't just jump out there and say it like your freaking Romeo."

Zara watched Xander leave, wondering what was up.
"Wonder whats got him tied in knots." She muttered
```````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Jayeson didn't know who Romeo was, but he understood the point.
" Ok. I just have to figure out how. I mean, we've been good friends for a long time, and I don't want to have to leave her because I like her. I don't think it's even possible for me to leave her." He finally said after a long silnce.

Xander stormed out of the garage and got in his vehicle. "Come on, Tray, let's go." He murmured under his breath as he put the key in ignition.
Tray looked at Jay, then looked back at Xander. "Just give me a second!" he called. "OK, there's only one way to solve this." He said to Jayeson. He pushed from the car and walked into the garage. "Oh, Zara!!!!" Tray made his voice sound higher pitched. "Jayeson has something to tell you!!!"

Zara heard Tray called, something ischievias in his voice. She sighed and set down her tools, wiping off her hands once more. Zara walked outside to where Tray and Jayeson were standing, Xander already in his vehicle.
" Ya. What's up?" She asked.
````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Jayeson shot Tray a venemous look. He moved his gaze back to Zara, taking a deep breath. This was the most nerve wracking thing he had ever done, and he didn't know what to say. There was a formal ceremony in his tribe, maybe that would work.
He took in a deep breath.
" Zara, would you stay with me forever? I love you, and I don't want to ever leave you."
````````````````````````````````````````````````````
Zara jaw dropped, and she stood there speechless. Hoe did he know? How did he know that's what I was thinking about lately? Zara stopped gaping and smiled.
" May forever never come so I can spend all of time with you." She replied.
