Thank you BirchFire and Blitz12 for the kind reviews. I always appreciate a review. and after taking the story in a different direction I was worried that no one interested in the story. There will definitely be more MurrueMu in addition to many other pairings including OCs. I hope you all enjoy.
Mu La Flaga sat in the mess hall sipping his morning coffee thinking about his family back home. His dream from the night before, no matter how incorrectly in its descriptions of certain family members made him realize how much he missed those girls. Even if they were a little eccentric at times.
'God I wish I could see them again,' Mu thought to himself. 'And I wonder what those little mavericks are up to right now,' Mu smiled at that last thought.
Knowing those girls they were probably getting up to go to work. Unless of course they decided to take some vacation time, which knowing them was highly unlikely. Unless they were ordered to.
Mu was so wrapped up in his own thoughts that he didn't notice the other sleepless individual come in.
Murrue Ramius having been unable to shake herself of the nightmare she had earlier even after taking a cold shower decided to take a walk around the Archangel, and ended up at the mess hall. Where she came across the infamous "Hawk of Endymion" Mu La Flaga.
"What is it about this man that makes me feel safe," Murrue thought to herself. As much as she hated to admit it, over the past few days she had felt safer with him around than she had felt in a long time. There was just something about him that invoked strange feelings felt strangely close affection that she didn't think she could ever feel in such a short period of time. She had learned not to allow herself to get too close to someone who was a mobile armor pilot, especially not after losing one boyfriend in this God forsaken war. If anything were to happen to Mu, she knew she would feel the lose on a personal level. She also knew that if anything happened to any of the students, whom she involved in the war she wouldn't be able to live with herself. She walked up to him.
"Hey," Murrue said softly. Mu turned to look at her.
"Hey yourself," he said.
"So what are you doing up so early," Murrue asked.
"I could ask you the same," Mu replied.
"I had a nightmare, and decided against going back to sleep," Murrue answered getting a cup of coffee.
"Wanna talk about it?" Mu asked.
"Not really," Murrue answered.
"Suit yourself," Mu said.
It was then that he felt it, sensed them. They were nearby, his sisters were nearby.
"What the?" Mu said out loud.
"Is something wrong?" Murrue asked.
"Uh, no I just thought I heard something. It's nothing," Mu lied.
If Murrue suspected anything she didn't show it. Instead she just took a seat across from Mu and started sipping her coffee.
Meanwhile, the eight young women sensed their big brother nearby.
'Well well, it would appear that that two faced douche bag wasn't lying when he said that Mu is still alive and well. Either that or the other half-brother or even his other half-brother is nearby. Either way we're all going to find out soon enough," one of the young girls said to herself.
"Did you feel that?" Serenity asked. She was the youngest, she had wavy waist length hair that was blond with sea blue streaks that matched her left eye. Those closest to her called her Radar.
"I did," said Maria. She was the second youngest, she also had waist length hair that was blond, only instead of blue streaks she had bright pink streaks. Her nickname is Hendley (but Cheza-Marie calls her Hot Lips).
"I'm fairly certain we all did," Infinity said. She was the fourth oldest, with shoulder length blond hair that was streaked dark green, and she had a burn scar on the upper right side of her face. (Her nickname is Hilts.)
"Of course we all did," Trinity said. She was the third oldest with short hair that made her look like a boy. Her nickname is Tom.
"The only question is whether or not it is who we think it is," Cheza-Marie said. Her nickname is Big X.
Meanwhile, Sai Argyle, Kuzzey Buskirk, Tolle Koenig, and Miriallia Haww having awaken set off towards the mess hall.
"So did you guys hear, the new pilots will be arriving today," Kuzzey said to the others.
"Yeah, we heard," Miriallia replied.
"Which means we'll probably be heading back out into outerspace to fight again," Sai commented as they entered the mess hall.
About a half an hour later, everyone else is in the mess hall eating breakfast. The four friends sat together Sai on the end with Kuzzey sitting to his left with Tolle sitting across from him, and Miriallia sitting across from Kuzzey.
"So when do you suppose these new Mobile Suit pilots are going to get here," Kuzzey asked.
"I don't know, soon I guess," said Sai.
"So what do we know about them," Kuzzey asked.
"Nothing aside from the fact that they're suppose to be Marines or Navy SEALs or something. Which means these guys are really tough," Tolle said before taking a bite out of his food.
"How can you be so sure that there all guys? How do you know that none of them are girls?" Miriallia asked.
"Well, Lieutenant Badgiruel seemed fairly certain that they were all men, and shes' usually right about these things," Tolle said taking another bite of his food.
"Well then I guess you're right," Miriallia said.
"Hey, Sai, are you okay?" Kuzzey asked, when he noticed Sai wasn't eating.
"Why do you ask," Sai asked.
"Maybe because you're not eating," Tolle said.
"I'm just not very hungry," Sai said, just before his stomach emitted an audiable grumble.
"I think your stomach would beg to differ. Come on what's really bothering you?" Miriallia asked. Just then Kira walked by with Fllay, causing Sai to look away depressed.
"Oh come on don't tell me you're still all worked up over her," Tolle said.
Sai didn't answer.
"Oh come on man, you should really get over her," Tolle said.
"Tolles' right, you should move on with your life, start dating again," Miriallia piped in.
"I would but that's impossible without any other girls around," Sai said.
"That's funny seeing as my big brother is the man famous for making the impossible possible," said a female voice. Sai turned to see a petite girl with odd colored eyes and pink streaks in her long blond hair dressed in the male version of the Earth Alliance Forces uniform.
"Whoa," whispered Kuzzey.
"Uh, hi," said Sai a little surprised, and a little taken aback.
"Hi, yourself," said the girl. She was very attractive.
"I'm Sai, Sai Argyle," Sai said standing to greet the young woman. "And this is Tolle Koenig, Miriallia Haww, and Kuzzey Buskirk," Sai said introducing his friends.
"Pleased to meet you I'm Maria La Flaga," said the girl.
"La Flaga? Any relation to Commander La Flaga?" Sai asked.
"As a matter of fact he's my brother," Maria said.
"Speaking of which he's sitting over there with Captain Ramius, our commanding officer," Kuzzey said.
"Well, I guess I should report to them. And you should eat, Sai Argyle. take it from someone who knows; you can't work on an empty stomach, which is why breakfast is the most important meal of the day," Maria said with the same light-hearted attitude that Commander La Flaga always showed.
"No doubt about it that girl is definitely related to Commander La Flaga," Sai said, just before finally taking a bite of his food.
"Well a least now he's eating," Mir said to Tolle.
"Maybe you should try asking her out. I mean she looks about our age," Tolle said to Sai.
"Maybe I will," Sai said.
"Hey you don't suppose she may be one of the new pilots do you?" Miriallia asked.
"Well I guess anythings possible. After all, if Commander La Flaga has a younger sister who's that young and that hot," Kuzzey commented.
"I don't know, she looked kinda scrawny to me," Tolle said.
"Then why would you suggest he ask her out?" Mir asked.
"Well rebounders can't be too picky. Even if she is a little flat-chested," Tolle said, his last comment earning him a slap upside the head from Miriallia.
"Tolle you can be such a pervert at times," Mir scolded.
"Tolle'sa guy, what do you expect?" Sai asked.
"Hey, you're a guy too," Tolle exclaimed indignantly.
"True, but I would never say anything like that about a lady," Sai said.
"How do you know that shes a lady?" Tolle asked.
"Maybe because her name is Maria," Mir said.
"Yeah, with a name like Maria I would certainly hope that she's a girl," Kuzzey.
"I don't think that's what he meant," Sai said.
"You're right, it wasn't," Tolle said, moving out of Mir reach.
"Pervert," Mir scolded.
"You'd better not let Commander La Flaga hear you say that about his little sister," Sai cautioned.
"I'll say if the Commander hears you say something like that about his sister even if it is true you won't be alive much longer," Kuzzey warned.
Mu had sensed his little sisters getting closer and closer but he hadn't quite figured out what they could possibly be doing at Lunar Headquarters. Now that he saw Maria in an Earth Forces Uniform he understood completely, they were the new pilots and Mu was not too happy about it.
'What the hell are they all doing joining the Earth Forces? They're going to get themselves killed, or worse,' Mu thought to himself.
"Commander La Flaga, is something wrong?" Murrue asked.
"You see that girl over there," Mu said.
She turned to see what Mu was talking about. Some of the students from Heliopolis were talking with a young blonde girl that Murrue didn't recognize. The girl was wearing an Earth Forces Uniform.
"Yeah, what about her? Commander, what is it? Do you know her?" Murrue asked.
"Shes my little sister, one of them that is," Mu said.
"I wasn't aware that you had a sister. And what do you mean one of them? How many sisters do you have?" Murrue asked a little surprised.
"Eight," Mu answered.
"Wow! That's a lot of sisters," Murrue said.
"Tell me about it," Mu said. By this time the young woman had walked over to them.
"Hey, Commander La Flaga. How are you doing? It's been almost a year since we saw you last," Mu's sister said.
"Hey, Maria, long time no see," Mu said addressing his little sister.
"You don't seem too happy to see me big brother," Maria said to Mu, but before giving him a chance to respond she turned to Murrue.
"So you must be Captain Ramius," Maria said addressing Murrue.
"Yes, I am, and you must be Commander La Flaga's younger sister," Murrue said.
"So did Mu told you about me when you two met or was it just a few minutes ago?"
"Just a few minutes ago, actually," Murrue answered.
"Then he probably failed to mention just how many sisters he has," Maria said.
"Yes he did, though he didn't mention your names?" Murrue asked.
"Well you'll find out soon enough," Maria answered smiling deviously.
"Don't tell me you're all here," Mu said.
"Of course we're all here. You didn't honestly think that I would be the only one joining now did you?" Maria asked.
"Then where are the others?" Mu asked.
"Around, you know how they are," Maria said.
