Soul of outer space
A New Generation
Part one
Herro glanced at the computer screen, level six, it read he switched on the button that would activate the zero system,
"How he doing?" He asked, in front of the simulator there were two computers, one for monitoring brain waves the other for heart rate.
"He's doing fine." Said Wufia who was monitoring his brain waves. Trowa nodded he was monitoring heart rate. Herro glanced at his nephew, Christian, who would of thought that he would be the best one out of all of them. Christian was sitting at the control center concentrating, you could see sweet on his face, Herro turned up the simulation level to ten, the highest. He himself had only been able to get to this level at the age of eighteen, if Christian could beat it at fifteen that would be incredible. Wufia turned around, and smiled. A couple of seconds later Trowa did the same,
"No change." Wufia said. They all looked at each other.
"He did it." Herro breathed, now why cant my son be like Christian.
"Christian come on down." Wufia called as Herro shut it off.
"Clara and Quatra, will kill you if they find out that you put him there." Trowa said as Christian came down.
"I'm sorry if my brain waves got all- what are you guys so happy about."
"Christian," Herro said putting his hands on his shoulders, "You made it to the final level and passed." Christian stood there, shocked.
"That's great- shit." He glanced at the clock, "Dad's going to kill me." He grabbed his jacket and ran out of the lab.
Clara and Quatra were asleep in there bed when Clara woke up to feel Quatra's warm arms around her body and his lips on her neck.
"I love you." He whispered in her ear. She turned around and looked into his eyes.
"I love you more." She whispered and the two started to make out. After a couple of minutes some one cleared there throat on the other end of the room, they two sat up to see Dou,
"Hope I'm not interrupting any thing." He said with a twinkle in his eye. Clara got out of bed and put on her robe. Dou had to give Quatra credit, he had done alright getting Clara, even after giving birth to three kids she still looked great. Dou was about to make a comment but got a glare form Quatra and decided to get down to business.
"I've go some bad news." He said knowing then that he just got their undivided attention.
"OW. Derrick stop it." Thirteen year old, Lena Winner yelled, as her twin brother pulled her hair. A group of children sat in a game room of the large house that their parents had bought, a long time ago. Sitting on the sofa was Lena and Derrick Winner. In front of them trying to do her homework was Lesley Yuy, next to her flipping threw channels was fourteen year old Melanie Barton. Siting in a double seat reading a book was fifteen year old Courtney Smith (Lee and Dorothy's daughter) across the room in secret Solo Maxwell and Odin Yuy, planned away to get her to talk to them. Solo and Odin became more like Dou ever-single day, being quiet the lady's man at there high school. Courtney suddenly put her book down,
"I wonder where Christian is?" She said.
"Don't you mean where is Christian, Jeramy and Leo." Melanie piped.
"Yeah, Court. What about them." Solo said as he walked over to her rapped his arms around her waist and leaned into kiss her, instead got to kiss a pillow,
"Get a life Solo." She said getting up.
"I don't get it most girls would love to be kissed by me." He said in a frustrated tone. The others minus Odin knew things where about to get ugly they carefully left the room.
"Well I'm not one of them." She said looking out the window.
"If you're waiting for that jock of yours to come running to you, you're in for a big surprise." Odin said picking up the newspaper and sitting down next to Solo. The two looked at each other. They knew what Courtney was thinking, the quarter back and captain of the football team is supposed to go out with the captain of the cheerleading squad.
"He's right you know Christian is always way to busy, being an over achiever, to hang out with any of us, even me. Plus there is know way he'd want to go out with you when more then half of the female population is in love with him." Odin said.
"What exactly is that suppose to mean." She asked. BINGO! Thought Solo, she walked right into our trap. The two boys leaned forward,
"So you do like him." Solo asked. Courtney was about to come up with a slight remark, damn the whole thing was a trap.
"I hate you." She said. Getting up and heading for the door.
"Yea, love ya too babe." Solo called as the two boys exchanged high-fives. Courtney stormed out of the room and down the hallway, she ran into Jeramy,
"Woe, Court is something wrong?" He asked concern in his voice, he is so kind why can't all of them be like this.
"Nothing's wrong beside the fact that Odin and Solo act so much like, like, like…GUYS!" she yelled.
"Why thank you." Solo said popping up besides her puckering his lips next to her. She groaned and continued down the hallway. Jeramy rolled his eyes.
"Where have you been?" Solo asked.
"Around." Jeramy said moving his eyes to the floor.
"And Leo?" He asked.
"He would be in the lab, now. Christian…" His voice trailed off.
"So Christian's the one now, is that it." Solo said very irritated.
"Give a break, he has a lot to live up to." Jeramy said
"Um. Sure, lets see he's what they call the all American football player. Has just about every girl at our school, drooling over him. He's the perfect student, not to mention gentlemen. Now he has to be the perfect pilot too. Man when does it all end." Solo said.
"Well maybe if you try harder, you might out do him."
"Yeah right on what planet?" Solo asked.
Christian sat in the stables putting a bridle on his horse. He sighed as he mounted, and started to move the horse into motion. He took off alone into the hills. Courtney coming back form a late ride herself saw him leave and decided to follow.
"Christian." She called he stopped and waited for her. When she reached him he just smiled and the slowly started to ride again slowly so he wouldn't leave her behind. They rode for a long time in silence, finally the two of them entered a clearing the entered into the cliff that over looked the ocean.
"It's beautiful." Courtney breathed. Christian nodded and slowly started to dismount. Courtney saw him, and started to dismount herself. She felt strong arms around her waist and saw Christian helping her dismount.
"Thank you." She said and blushed, he just smiled at her. His smile is enough to melt an iceberg, she thought. Christian walked over to the side and sat down.
"I didn't even know this place was here." She said sitting down next to him. He just nodded. Courtney shivered it was getting cold and she didn't have a jacket. She then felt something-heavy fall on her arms. She looked up to see that Christian had taken off his jacket and placed it around her shoulders.
"So you won't get cold." He said she just nodded her head, he again returned to looking at the view. After about an hour or so he stood up and extended his hand to her, "We better head back." They two walked to their horses. Christian helped Courtney mount her horse then did the same for himself, the two then started there way back to the house.
Christian watched lovingly as Courtney brushed her horse. I want to tell he so much how I feel for her, she won't feel the same way. You don't have time for a girlfriend any way, you wouldn't be able to treat her the way she deserves to be. Christian sighed to himself and finished brushing his horse.
Jeramy and Leo had challenged Odin and Solo to a basketball game, when their beepers started going off. Solo had the ball,
"So Odin how about a little one on one." He called as Jeramy and Leo looked at there beepers.
"Don't you need to check yours incase your on call." Jeramy asked.
"Nope."
"Well Odin can't he's been called, c-ya." Leo called as the three headed out.
"What does it mean, Leo." Odin asked as they headed towards the lab.
"Most likely a mission briefing." He said and the three entered the lab. Christian was already there waiting patiently.
"Do you guys have any idea what's going on." The three shook their heads. Herro walked towards them followed by Lee and Wufia.
"Every one else will be here in a few minutes, but I'll start the tape any ways." They boys nodded and sat down around a table. The lights went out and the tape played.
20 minutes later-
the lights came back on and the boys looked at each other.
"Okay boys you know the drill, and remember who ever you pick we are behind you one hundred percent." The boys nodded and headed into a small room, Odin started to leave the lab.
"Odin," he called Odin turned around, "Go in there with them and listen to what they have to say." Odin nodded and went to the join the other boys. Once inside the boys sat down and began to talk.
"I vote Christian." Jeramy said. Leo nodded his head.
"No way, you two are way more experienced then I am."
"Maybe, but you can handle the zero system at level ten, and you know the gundam functions best when it's on the system." Leo satiated
"I'm not ready."
"You heard them, we have a week."
"I'm not emotionally stable."
"You're the best we got, Leo and I can only handle the system for short periods of time."
"I can't, I'm not good under extreme pressure."
"What about last years football champions ships, you made our school win for the first time in twenty years, and you don't think that's pressure."
"That was different."
"Really. How?"
"Gee, let me think. Maybe because, I WASN'T HOLDING SOME ONES LIFE IN MY HANDS."
"Look your are only chance of winning, you have to go."
"No way."
One hour later-
Odin had taken to banging his head against the table they had been in this room for the last hour trying to get Christian to consent and neither side was falling.
"I said NO!" Christian said for about the hundredth time.
"WILL YOU SHUT UP." Odin screamed. The others seemed a little taken back by his out burst. "Christian you're the best we have, please your are only hope."
"Oh alright."
"Thank you god." Leo opened the door and they trooped out and announced their choice. They all nodded there approval and the boys where sent to bed.
One week later-
Every one was hugging each other goodbye,
"You be careful and listen to your father and oh sweetie I love you so much." Clara said as she wiped away her tears and hugged her son. She then turned to her husband and he embraced her in a passionate kiss. Christian looked around to see the rest of his "family" saying good bye to there loved ones. He turned and saw Lena and Derrick come towards his, Lena had been crying,
"Christian you, you be careful. Okay and come home soon."
"I will." Christian said as he wiped away the tears from his sister's eyes, he hugged the two of them.
"Promise."
"Promise." Then the two went to saw good bye to their father.
"Christian." He turned around to see Jeramy, Leo, Odin, Solo, and Courtney. Coming towards him.
"You take care." Jeramy said and the two shook hands. He did the same with the rest of the boys when he came to Courtney she threw her arms around him and started to cry. He held her in the embrace.
"It's okay." He said comforting her. He parley noticed when the others slipped away.
"When will you be back?"
"I don't know, but I'll be back." He said he leaned down and kissed her gently on the lips hoping that she would understand how he felt.
"Take care of Lena and Derrick for me?" Courtney could only nod yes. He then left her and boarded the plan with the others.
"Please all passengers, buckle your seats as we enter into space from the atmosphere." The attendant called. Christian was sitting next to his father when they finally entered space. Quatra was reading the paper along with all the other fathers, Christian could only look out his window. After a hour of staring at space, Quatra leaned over to his son.
"What are you staring at?"
"The earth it's so…beautiful." Quatra nodded and squeezed his son's shoulder.
"Never forget how beautiful earth looks from afar."
