Dragon Army was finally starting to come together.
"I'm gonna puke," said Hot Soup as he flew threw space.
"I'm gonna nuke," said Crazy Tom as he pointed his flash gun at Hot Soup.
"Chinese food for dinner, ne?" added Vlad.
"Eh, I'd rather have some of old Bean here," jumped in Dumper.
"I'm tasty, but I'm not for you," said Bean.
"Yeah, Dumper, go take a dump."
"But don't eat any beans first."
"Gross."
"Seriously, I have to puke," said Hot Soup.
"Gross."
"You and Dumper should go to the toilet together!" said Crazy Tom.
"Great honeymoon spot, the toilet."
Ender used his hook to bring himself to Hot Soup's side. He took hold of Hot Soup's arms and turned him to face in the proper direction.
"The gate is down," Ender told them. "You won't get disoriented if you remember that. The enemy's gate is always down."
Then Ender actually looked down and saw Alai standing just beyond the gate. Alai, who was watching Dragon Army from below with those scrutinizing eyes of his.
Ender felt vertigo hit him for the the first time in a long time.
"Hey commander guy, this is your army speaking, we gonna play Cowboys and Indians or what?" said Crazy Tom.
"I'm game," said Ender.
He nodded at Alai, who nodded back. He reminded himself there was solid ground somewhere beneath all this space. Then he turned back to his army.
-End-
p.s. I really wanted to refer to a particular image from the book that describes Ender and Alai's relationship: there's a wall between them but there are also deep roots holding strong below. I couldn't work it in though. :(
I get the feeling that I might have stolen Dragon Army's jokes from Orson Scott Card, but I don't have any of my Ender books here so I can't check. If you (or anyone) happen to notice any lines I've accidentally plagiarized, let me know, will ya?
And do you know if is there good Ender's Game fic being written out there? You've rekindled my love for Dragon. :)
