Hello readers! This is my first Gundam 00 fanfiction and about my favourite character Graham Aker. There isn't enough stories for him out there so I had this brewing in my head for a while.
It was an event of the AEU. To show off the new mobile suit which runs entirely on solar energy. The majority of the people present were members of the AEU or their sponsors. The others consisted of a few journalists from numerous newspapers like her and a few others which Cassandra was unable to place. As a member of newspaper which is quite widely recognised, they sent her to find out information about the new suit. Most of her female colleagues would probably find this boring, to her power it was fascinating. It's amazing how far humanity has progressed.
She was interrupted out of her musing by the arrival of a blonde man. It appears he was a friend of the mans sitting next to her, who had a strangely long ponytail for a guy. As he sat down, she heard the man with the ponytail ask if it was alright for the ace of the m to be there;To which he replied it wasn't. Cassandra couldn't help but wonder what he was doing there then, maybe wanting to know what the other side has that they don't? Right at that moment they were busy discussing the similarities between the AEU's new suit the Enact and their to know more, but not wanting to let on that she was eavesdropping, she turned her head back to the the front where the pilot, Patrick Colosaur was showing off. Just as the blonde man said that the Enact was a complete copy of their flag, the pilot of the enact snapped and showed himself.
"Looks like someone has a short temper" She didn't realise that she spoke that aloud, albeit lowly until a few people next to her turned to look at her. Most just gave her an odd look, but the two on her right thought it was quite funny. She went slightly red and in an attempt to ignore it returned her attention back in front of her.
Suddenly something caught her attention, a new mobile suit appeared in the area. She looked around at the people around her to find out what was happening. Judging from their reaction, this was not meant top happen. A feeling of dread slowly began to creep through her, what exactly is going on?
Rather than retreating, the AEU's pilot decided to use this as an opportunity to further boost his sighed, man for you;always having something to prove. She took out her phone and attempted to ring her boss, only to find out the connection was down. Overall, not good. The blonde man from earlier stole someones binoculars and found out the name of the suit was Gundam. Deciding it was better to leave with the rest of the people who were evacuating, she stood up and was about to head to an exit when a voice stopped her.
"Excuse me miss" It was the blonde man from earlier "But it may be easier to come with us, if you don't want to be trampled by the rest of the people going through the public exit." Cassandra looked back and saw that he was right, people were all pushing to leave. she pondered it for a moment A) they were in a military base with eyes everywhere and B) If they still decided to try anything well… she has a few self defence tricks up her sleeve. Turning around she nodded and went to follow them.
We left the stadium through a side door which led back inside the base. "My name is Billy Katagiri and this is Graham Aker. You're not a member of the AEU, so what were you doing there?" The one with the ponytail asked. "I'm Cassandra Claire, a journalist from the daily news. The news got given permission to write about the new suit, so they sent me here to watch the demonstration and find out. Although I didn't expect the sudden interruption." she replied sighing. " I don't think anybody expected it." The man Graham spoke. they stopped in front of a door which had soldiers standing guard. After Graham showed them his pass they saluted, and allowed the three of them to walk out to the car park. Suddenly turning around to face her, he asked "Did you drive here? Or can I offer you a lift?" " I drove here but thank you."
Just before they separated, Cassandra had an idea. Scribbling her number on a scrap piece of paper, she handed it to him. "If you find out any information on what happened, could you please contact me on this number?" He took the paper and nodded. With that the three separated into their own direction.
Once she was seated inside her car, Cassandra allowed herself to slump in it, the days events finally catching up with her. What happened and what the heck is a gundam? she thought looking out the window.
