"Right then." Andrew said.

"You, two." he told Lily and Luke.

"Behave." he warned them.

"We are guests here, and we will act as such." he continued. "So be on your best behaviour." he told them... before pausing.

"Actually, be on someone ELSE'S best behaviour." he then said. "Someone else whose behaviour is generally better than yours. Be on THEIR best behaviour." he continued.

"What I'm saying is, for the love of everything, don't kill each other or anyone else, or destroy anything."

"...." Andrew was silent, before sighing.

"Thank heavens for small miracles." he muttered.

"I hope this gets sorted soon." he went on. "If Lily gets worse, then it'll be bad news for all." he said further.

"Anyway, Anna, shall we retire to our own dorm?" he asked Anna.

"....I'm going to... go do something..." Luke said.

"Not sure I want to be alone with Lily..."

"......." Luke was silent, before nodding.

He then quickly and quietly slipped his stuff into the dorm, staying as far away from Lily as he could, before slipping out of the dorm again.

"....all right..." he muttered.

"Let's go." he told her.

"I... I'll get settled in later." he went on.

"I think Lily just wants me to leave her alone..." he added quietly.

".....I dunno." Luke admitted.

"Everything's so confusing and scary." he said.

"I don't know what's going on. Lily's angry, her viper's missing..." he went on.

"I just want everything to turn out okay." he told her further.

"....but I don't know if it will." he admitted further.

"It's frightening."

Luke just nodded as Terra said all she did, as they walked and ascended the stairs.

He had no reason to trust her. He had no idea who she was. All he knew was that he was feeling an intense connection with her, and what she said put him at ease. Like he could believe that everything would turn out.

"Yeah..." he said.

"Yeah, I... I can believe that." he told her.

"At least things are a little better HERE at the Unit." he then said further.

"I've noticed that Lily already seems less violent..."

Luke looked around at the roof gardens, and smiled.

"Wow..." he said.

"Oh, wow. This is... amazing." he commented.

"These gardens are wonderful! And there are some rare flowers here." he continued.

"Some of which are difficult crossbreeds." he then noticed.

"Whoever manages this is REALLY talented." he continued further, before looking at Terra.

"Do YOU have anything to do with this?" he asked her.

"....woah." Luke mumbled.

"That was really cool." he said.

"You just... re-energised that bloom in a split-second." he commented. "FASTER than a split-second." he corrected himself.

"That is... I've never seen anything like that before." he went on.

"And this is tended to by a banshee? Huh... didn't expect to hear that." he continued, before pausing for a moment.

"...so... why do I feel some kind of connection to you?" he then asked her, seemingly out of the blue.

"I'm sure I don't know you. So why do I feel like I HAVE known you? For all my life?" he asked further.

"...." Luke was silent for a moment, looking at her hand.

"...all right." he then said.

He took a deep breath, held it, exhaled it slowly, and then placed his hand upon hers. As soon as he did, he felt an overwhelming power surge through him. But not in the conventional sense.

He suddenly felt more full of life. He felt stronger. He felt healthier. He felt like he was filled with vitality... like he had been partially wilted his entire life... and was brought back to perfect health.

"I... woah..." he mumbled.

"This... this feeling. I've never felt so healthy before in my life." he told her quietly, before it clicked in his mind.

"You... you're..." he stammered.

"Mother Gaea!?" he exclaimed.

"....." Luke was silent, before slapping his hands over his eyes.

"Idiot!" he exclaimed.

"Luke, you idiot! You had to open your mouth!" he said further.

He then collapsed to his knees, in a repentant position.

"Please forgive me." he begged.

"Mother Gaea, I'm sorry I revealed your secret!"

Luke was almost in hysterics, before he suddenly stopped when she said what she did.

"I..." he stammered.

"I guess... that's true..." he said.

"But... but it's all right?" be then asked.

"You were obviously trying to keep your identity secret. And now I've blown that." he told her.

"Is that REALLY okay?"
