"Talking"

'Thoughts'

The little voice in the back of Rio's mind

Rio collapsed on his bed tried, weak, and well bored. He had just returned from fighting victim, and was wondering. 'How long till victim became to smart for them? They had already learned that G.O.A. raised the pilots that protected Zion. If they could figure that out, what was stopping them from becoming smarter then the human race? And how many are there thousands, millions, and maybe even billions. Would they just keep fighting till they died or there ex ran out? And most important could they stop victim?'

Rio sat up all this thinking was giving him a headache time for some..food. Plastering his usually happy go lucky smile on his face he bounded out of the room in search of food and people to talk to.

He peaked in another room, but same as the last three empty. But did that stop him, of course not. It was time to take matters into his own hands to Yu's room. 'Yu's a good guy, you just have to dodge the boiling water and tea powder and your OK.' Rio thought to him self as he strolled towards Yu's room.

Carefully as to avoid being hit with boiling water, tea powder, rice cakes, or worse Rio stuck his head into Yu's room. Upon first glance he thought it was empty but then he noticed the figure hiding in the shadows. It was Kizuhi, her small frame just barely noticeable in the dark corner, but what worried him was no Yu. Come to think of it he haven't seen a single pilot since right after the battle when Garu walked past him, something was going on and no one had told him.

With almost caution he approached Kizuhi just in case big brother Yu was lurking in the shadows. "Kizuhi do you know where Yu is?" he asked quietly so he didn't frighten her.

"He went so where with Gareas," her voice was no more then a whisper.

"OK, thanks a bunch Kizuhi you're the best," Rio declared as he bounded out of the room to Leena's.

"Leena ya here?" Rio questioned has he peered in the room, to his delight there sat Garu, Yu, Erts, Leena, Phil and Tune. "You guys are having a party and you didn't invite me that's sssssssoooooo not fair," Rio said while pretending he was hurt.

"We told you we were all going to meet in Leena's room at four o'clock weren't you paying attention?" Phil demanded anger level rising.

"Ummmm," was the reply from Rio, 'that must have been what Phil was saying right after the battle, but his mind was on other things it wasn't his fault interlay, it was just that.

"RIO ARE YOU LISTENING TO ME?" Phil's sharp voice cut off his train of thought.

"Of course babe" was the automatic reply.

"Anyway" Leena butted in. "Since the resent accident we should all be on are guard, and keep are wits, we don't want to lose any one else." Everyone nodded and returned to there rightful places.

"I did all that looking for that?' Rio thought. Maybe there is a chance, a voice in the back of Rio's mind whispered. Now that he's gone, perhaps he'll notice you, you know now that he's out of the way. Rio shook his head in a futile attempt to get rid of the voice. You never know after all dreams do sometimes come true. It hissed before retreating into the confines of his mind.

But what if it was right? What if it told the truth? What if he had a chance? It was right; sometimes dreams do come true. You know what they say, "For those with wings fly to your dreams." He didn't have wings but he did have a dream.

"Perhaps you will noticed me one day Gareas Elidd."
