Donuts for you. I had to re-write the first chapter so I will re-post it soon. Just be thankful, all readers, that I have a good memory and can remember what I wrote the first time I wrote this chapter.

Lets us begin (again!)

A Window Of Opportunities

Nina looked at her teammates that stood next to her. two were quite tall and the others were her height or just below. The tallest one moved forward slightly. He had brown hair and green eyes.

"I am Kenny Walters. Nice to meet you, Nina-san. These are my friends from the academy; Andre Peters, Ellis Boskirk and Tolle Elsman. I hope we have a good time together" Kenny walked away (A/n: Thank God he didn't stalk away). But as Nina was celebrating that he didn't stalk, he began to. Damnit! Stupid bad luck curse! I swear the mirror broke itself! Nina cursed. As Kenny was talking he motioned to each person in turn. From what she gathered as he was talking Nina was sure that the blonde haired one with brown eyes was Andre, Ellis had black hair with sapphire eyes and Tolle was the other tall one with tanned skin, blonde hair and red eyes. They definetly were a bunch that Nina's mother would find amusing. If only she could see them now, and me! Nina thought how ridiculous she looked. Her uniform was blue and black. The colours of the Waltfeldt team. The Yamato team was pruple and white, Zala was green and black and Joule was black and white. She looked back at the Elsman boy and say that he was giving her the eye, instead of having him help her in battle, he would probably rather force her into a bikini. Nina looked to her right of her teammates and saw some girls chattering. They were carrying green, purple and white uniforms.

Zala, Yamato and Joule girls all talk together?

Nina walked over to the girls, only to see two guys standing there too.

"Hey!" said a very hyper-active girl. "What's your name? From the looks of it, you're on the dreaded Waltfeldt team!" It was true that rumours flew that Waltfeldt-taisa was famous for his ways of grilling juniors about personal details. But interrogation didn't scare Nina.

"I am on the Waltfeldt team. From the outfit you are holding, I would say Yamato, correct?"

"Yes!" the girl said. "Anyway, I am Ariel Henzelka, this is my sister, Lina Guuten. Over here is Roii Yamato, Airi Zala- she has a brother and sister in the military too y'know? Juliette and Don Zala?- Allys Asuka, Crystal Boskirk, Suki Joule- she has brothers in the military too, Issac and Naii. Oh and that guy who is reading the book, thats Prayer Reeves. He was the highest scoring junior from the academy. And the heart throb of the year!" Ariel sure wouldn't shut up, but Nina had to admit that Prayer looked pretty handsome with his blue hair and and orange eyes.

"I am Nina" Nina said indefiantly (A/n: Whoa, big word!). Prayer looked up and looked over her. But the orange uniform of the maintanence crew didn't show off her figure at all. Ariel, a girl of few words (A/n: sense the sarcasm) was still chattering. She had lovely purple hair and dark eyes, but her sister had the most outrageous fluro yellow hair and highlighted blue eyes no one in their right mind would call them sisters. Maybe they are close friends, thought Nina. That would explain the different last names. Nina wasn't paying the least attention to Ariel but she casually moved her head over to look at Roii. He looked almost natural. His hair was brown and his eyes were blue. Airi Zala had lovely navy blue curls and honey-amber eyes, but compared to Allys' maroon hair and red eyes, she would be lost in a green room. Crystal looked exactly like her brother, though not as tall. But Suki's lovely silver/ash hair took the cake.

"Anyway, My sister is on the Zala team with Juliette and Don Zala. Allys, Crystal, Roii, Airi and I are on the Yamato team, Suki and her brothers on her father's team- their father is the Chairman of Plant's- and you on the almost all male Waltfeldt team" Ariel continued. She was so hyper Nina thought it was contagious. "Oh, and to clear things up, Lina is my half-sister. Everyone always asks that! I am surprised you haven't! I wonder why they even ask that, though. I mean we do look a lot alike" That sentence earned a cough from everyone in the group. And chocking from Roii who happened to be having a glass of water. Allys went over to Roii to sort him out, and Ariel continued (A/n: I base her off of my friend, seriously, she doesn't shut up. Because of her we couldn't hear a bomb going off outside our window!).

"I don't know why he is so jumpy. His little sister is about as cute as me, and she always says stuff like me. Oh, her name is Riza... uh, I mean Elizabeth, but everyone calls her Riza. Hey Airi, speaking of little kids, when is your mother having her baby?"

"Next month" Airi said, she looked very nervous.

"It's a girl, right?" Ariel didn't know when to leave the subject alone, did she?

"Yes. Dad wants to call her Lenore. I do too. Can we please just..."

"Hey Roii!" That was infamous voice of Lacus Clyne's husband, or Kira Yamato-taisa.

"Yamato-sama!" the girls chorused.

"Chichiue!" Roii said. He had by now discarded the drink, on Allys' orders of course.

"Kira Yamato-taisa!" both Prayer and Nina said. They looked at each other and turned away.

"Prayer, Nina, girls, no formalities please. Just Kira!" Kira-san chuckled.

"Hai, Kira-san!" everyone- minus Roii- said loudly.

"Well anywho, all of you have five minutes to get to the Briefing Room so you can be assigned to your ships! Good day!" Kira saluted them jokingly, and they all saluted back.

"That was different" Nina pointed out. It was an interesting day. As Nina disbanded from the group of prep central, she trudged towards the Briefing Room, Athrun Zala-taisa caught up with Airi.

"Airi, dear, have you seen Uncle Kira?" Athrun asked his eldest daughter.

"He went that way otou-san" Airi pointed to the way Nian was headed.

"Tenkyu" Athrun said as he rushed off, in the direction that Nina was walking- which was headed to the Briefing Room, Waltfeldt-taisa's Office and the toilets. Athrun nearly bowled down Nina as he ran past.

"Sorry" he muttered.

"It's okay! I am used to being invisible to everyone, Athrun Zala-taisa" Nina said picking upm her uniform that she dropped.

"Please, no formalities, just Athrun" Athrun chuckled. Why is everyone chuckling or laughing today? Nina thought.

"Nina-san!" Kira-san called out from Waltfeldt-taisa's office.

"Hai!" Nian called herself to attention.

"Please come in here we have to ask you about your details. Athrun, come in too!" Kira opened the door so Nina could walk through, followed by Athrun.

"Ensign Nina-san, we must ask you about your details. You haven't given us a last name or your mothers. All we know is your first name, your mothers first name and that you come from Russia" Waltfeldt-taisa began.

"Well, sir, I would rather not disclose that information. My mother told me that people would like me because of my last name if I told them, but I would like to be liked for me."

"No formalities, just Andy" Waltfeldt-taisa said leaning over his desk. "You are in my team and I need to know these things about you. You did put me as one of your recommenders. Please!"

Just Andy-san? Kaa-san said formalities must be used in order to give a good first impression, but that theory goes right out the window here! Nina thought before she answered.

"Okay. I am Nina Maree La Fllaga and my mother is Murrue Maria Ramius" Nina saw their jaws drop.

"Mwu-san's daughter!" Kira-san exclaimed.

"Murrue's long lost baby!" Athrun-san yelled.

"So you are my Goddaughter! I will call your mother and say I have met you. You look so much like Mwu. So you have lived in Russia all these years have you?" Andy-san smiled. It wasn't a forced smile or a friendly smile. It was a fatherly smile.

"You guys knew my dad! What was his name? What was he like? My Commander is my Godfather?" Nina was full of questions.

"Where did that come from?" Kira asked, a smirk plastering his face.

"Well, his name was Mwu. He was nice and kind, but he could be cocky and rude when he wanted to be. Yes I am your Godfather. Your mother didn't tell you anything about your father did she?" Andy asked, his face grew sullen with the sad memories.

"Iie. She didn't. I asked, but I think she was too sad to tell me. Thank you for telling me, but shouldn't we be in the Briefing Room three and a half minutes ago?" Nina was feeling really bad about missing the beginning of her first briefing as a directed officer.

"They won't start without us. Plus, Nina, after the briefing, I want you to come back here and I will introduce you to the officers of the Archangel, the ship your parents were on when they met. Now quickly get dressed in your outfit and we will go!" Andy said. As the grown men turned around to give Nina some privacy, she uttered one word. "Hai". Andy smiled and they all left the room.

When they fimally arrived at the Briefing Room they had to be seated immediately.

"First team; Yamato Team: Ariel Henzelka, Allys Asuka, Crystal Boskirk, Airi Zala, Thom Nadime and Roii Yamato. You will go to France on the Cummings.

"Zala Team: Juliette Zala, Don Zala, Lina Guuten, Markl Nadime and Frienz Asuka. You will be sent to Australia on the Bernard

"Joule Team: Suki Joule, Issac Joule, Naii Joule and Rii Ketsuken. You guys are going to space on the White Grave.

"Final team; Waltfeldt Team: Kenny Walters, Andre Peters, Ellis Boskirk, Tolle Elsman and Nina... Waltfeldt-sama, what is Nina-san's last name?" the warden asked.

"Her name is Nina La Fllaga. She is Mwu La Fllaga's daughter" Andy-san replied. Nina felt all eyes on the back of her neck as she walked up to the front of the room to stand next to her teammates. Ariel had nearly fallen over, Kenny was staring at her, Ellis was gawking, Tolle was looking like he wanted to have his way with her then and there, Andre just stood there and Prayer looked at her with interest. Nina gulped and looked at the floor. Hoping it would swallow her whole.

"Anyway, you guys are going to Russia on the Hendeldorf. Briefing adjourned (A/n: or whatever army people say)" the warden rushed out of the room sensing the hostility in the room.

Afterwards, Prayer caught up to Nina.

"Nina-san!" he said to get her attention.

"Hai" Nina looked at the very hansome guy beside her.

"I was wondering, why didn't you tell anyone your last name? I think your last name says why you did so well in the piloting exams. I mean, your scores were almost as high as mine and that's really good for a girl and excellent for a natural!" Prayer said. Nina felt as though she were being scolded, not praised.

"If you want to make a girl feel special you don't mention anything like that" she spoke harshly. "Just because I am a girl doesn't mean I am not as good as any male at things I can do. And Natural's are as good as coordinators.! I am not a natural. But I am not a coordinator. I am have this thing in me that is different from both of those types of human make up. A different gene. My father's I think. It makes me as good at things as coordinators and I have a superior immune system. But still, every human is as good as they feel and as good as any other!" Nina wasn't happy at what Prayer had said.

"I didn't mean it like that. I am sorry I offened you, Nina-san. You should be the next Lacus Clyne with speeches like that!" When Prayer said the last bit he didn't sound sarcastic. Like he actually meant it. Nina would've wanted to talk more but she had to see Andy-san.

"Sayonara, Prayer-kun. I have something to take care of. I will talk to you in the cafeteria sometime!" Nina ran in the direction of Andy-san's office. She opened the door and...

Cliffy! Hahahahaha, I am so evil.
