We walk in the airlock and on to the Normandy. It looks amazing! I remember how it looks in the game but this is real life.
I look over at Shepard who is now in the cockpit talking to the crippled polite we all know and love. Joker! I freaking love Joker besides Garrus he is my favorite character in the game!
He turns his head to look towards me and Tyler, all I can do is smile and wave at him well Tyler just nods his head. Then he turns back to Shepard.
A few moments later Shepard walks back to us. "Your bunks are now a level, just take the elevator it will tell you where to go" Shepard says to me and my brother.
We walk towards the elevator and on the way there people were staring at us, but mostly me. It's not every day you see a 13 year old on a war ship. Once we get to the elevator Tyler hits the button that says deck 3.
Once we get there, which took a long time I mean I know the elevator is slow but geez! But anyways once we get there we find the room instantly. We know these ships like the back of are hand but we can't have anybody knowing that
Once we are in the room we find a bunk and of course we share one. Tyler beat me to it and he chooses top bunk. Lucky. I sit on my bed and open my bag. Then I look up at Tyler and say "I wonder what time it is."
Tyler lifts his arm and what shows up is an omni-tool.I look at him in shock. "Where did you get that?!" I ask him
"I don't know, but well I was on the mission I found out that I had one." He looks at his Omni-tool again. "Hm It says its 9:30 PM" Tyler says. Really it's that late? Hm I guess with all the excitement going on quite some time passed by.
I lift up my arm to see if I have an Omni-tool like Tyler does and when I lift it nothing happens. So I guess I don't have one yet.
Its late and I do feel a bit tired so I put on a pair of sweatpants I found in my bag and lay on my bed. But before I could sleep I grab my bag and take out something that I can't sleep without.
I grab my worn out sock monkey. I named him George because it seemed appropriate.I grab him and hide him under the blanket so no one can see him.
Shepard already sees me as a kid so I don't want anybody else thinking i'm one to.I close my eyes and I almost fall asleep instantly.
When I wake up I see that Tyler is already up. I ask him what time it was and it is 6:00 AM.I get up from the bed and put on some jeans and a plain black shirt. I am not wearing those suits with the Cerberus logos all over them. I really hate TIM.
Me and Tyler walk out of there and into the mess hall. I am starving I don't even remember the last time I ate. Heck I don't think I even ate anything since I've been here!
We grab a tray and go sit down. Surprisingly nobody else is in here not even Gardner.
So I and Tyler sit alone for a few moments then we hear someone walking towards us.
It's Shepard. She comes towards us and sits down. Does she even eat in the dining hall in the game? All I know is you are either never eating in a game or you are always eating in a game. But this is real life.
She sits across from me and looks up at me.
"Commander" I say, because that's what most people call her in the game. She smiled at me "I told you, just call me Shepard" she says.
I smile and nod then I go back to my food.
After a few moments I look up from my food and I see that Shepard is staring at me. "Uh do I have something on my face or something?" I ask.
Shepard smiles "No it's just, your eye color" Shepard says. I knew this was going to come up sometime soon, it always does.
"Yea it's a long story" I say.
"Go ahead, I'm listening" Shepard says.
I laughed a little "Well Before I was born my family was in kind of in a war. My dad and Tyler have brown eyes and I and my brother Brandon have blue eyes. My dad said I was going to have brown eyes and my mom said I was going to have blue eyes." I say
"And then when you were born it was a tie?" Shepard finished.
I nod my head yes.
I hear Tyler laughed next to me. And then I start laughing. I think I hear Shepard laughing a bit to.
These are the moments I hope I have more often.
