Disclaimer: I don't own anything from Mars Attacks... Could I at least own one of those ray guns the Martians have? I didn't think so :(
The Martian Ambassador stood in the door way looking into the room with interest. On one of the beds that were in the room, the lady from on the step was sleeping with Sam and Charlotte attending to her head wound. He watched as Sam cleaned away the blood that had dripped down her face and had now dried whilst Charlotte was in the kitchen trying to find some bandages, but with no luck.
A crash in the kitchen soon distracted him from watching Sam and he headed on his way to investigate and couldn't help but laugh at the sight in front of him. There on the floor was Charlotte glaring at a certain red haired girl who was now standing nearby laughing her head of. Charlotte stood up and started to walk towards Maria who then stopped laughing and stepped backwards muttering, in a squeaky voice 'Uhoh', then ran out of the room, with Charlotte stopping at the doorway.
"So" The Martian Ambassador started watching the earth girl open cupboards and draws trying to find bandages "how'd you end upon the floor?"
"Maria" was the reply, followed by a pair of red cheeks
Laughing again at the now embarrassed girl he decided to ask the one question that was running through his head.
"So how were the Martians defeated?" he asked, the one question that had been buzzing through his head for what felt like forever but had never had a chance to ask
"Umm music" Charlotte said with a hint of sadness in her voice then mumbled "I can't believe that my friend though that it was an ok song, it was soo old"
He raised one eye brow at the last comment, knowing it wasn't directed at him but it was something that he knew was important, he just couldn't figure out why.
"Any idea who or where the lady came form" The blonde asked, giving him a questioning look, whilst looking in a draw for the bandages.
"No, should I" he answered then frowned at what happened next
-You should- he heard her thoughts –she's one of your people- , at least he still had one of his Martian talent left.
"What do you mean she's one of my people?" he snapped
"Huh?" was the reply followed by "did I say that out loud" and a puzzled expression.
"No I… You know don't you" He asked not really sure he wanted to know the answer
"Umm am I allowed to say yes??" she asked giving yet another smile
"Ok you are most defiantly so far the weirdest Earthling I have ever met" was his short answer
"You sure, cause I can list a few more who are weirder than me, plus if you thought that was weird you're in for a nasty surprise" the reply was said in a very cheerful voice, too cheerful for him, seeing what he'd done to her planet.
He was about to say something more but Sam's loud voice form the other room interrupted
"CHARLOTTE WE NEED THOSE BANDAGES NOW!!!!"
"COMMIN" Charlotte shouted back, ignoring the Martian Ambassador giving her a look of confusion and continued her search all the wile muttering 'Bandages'. After searching through nearly all the draws and cupboards, she finally found them, or rather they found her. Opening a cupboard near the sink a large box fell out landing on her head before landing on the floor.
The Martian Ambassador watched in confusion as the girl continued to search for bandages whilst ignoring him, but it soon turned into amusement when a large box fell on top of her head, making him laugh.
"I…I'm sorry it's just" he started then noticed the glare she was giving him and at first thought she was angry but then he noticed the little grin slowly forming on her face and the 'laughter' behind the word that escaped her moth 'shuddup'.
Still laughing he followed her into the other room and as she handed Sam some cream coloured things from inside. She then handed them to the boxer, who was sticking around to make sure the woman was ok before leaving, why he couldn't remember, as he started to put them around the woman's head. It was then he realised who she was, she was always helping out when there was Martian surgery to be done (the one who when they put the dog's head don the woman's body, all of the Martians in that scene are wearing red robes, except one, the woman is that one with out robes, hope that makes scene), last time he had seen her she'd been holding tools for the others whilst they put the head of an Earth animal on the Earthlings body.
"So you got a name pal?" the boxer asked walking over to him whilst the two girls watched the woman sleep, making sure she was ok before leaving
"Not one that you'll be able to pronounce" he replied then caught Sam and Charlotte's expression
"Akihiko" Charlotte said after a while
"Aki??" Was her reply from the Martian ambassador and Byron in unison
"No Akihiko, its Japanese and means bright or shining prince" She replied smiling at their confused faces and sent the Martian Ambassador an innocent smile then continued "but it could be Aki for short, that means Autumn or bright"
"Akihiko" the Martian Ambassador muttered "sounds...weird"
"Charlotte is weird" he heard Maria mutter, followed by 'hark who's talking'
"It's ok" he continued –seeing as it's the only Earth name I know so far-
He was about to say something else and he could see one of the three girls was about to as well when a small gasp came form the bed.
Sam looked around and saw the lady was coming around, looking scared.
"Where am I?" she whispered and looked surprised when she stopped speaking and put a hand to her throat.
Sam continued to stare at the lady, then turned her head as she heard Charlotte cough and nodded when she beckoned for her and Maria to follow her.
On her way out she looked at the fighter and gave him a look, giving him the hint to give the Martian Ambassador and the lady who'd just woken up some time alone.
The young lady blinked and watched in silence as four out of the five earthlings walked out, leaving her alone with one of them.
"So how'd you get out the space ship?" the Martian Ambassador asked, smirking slightly, knowing that she wasn't meant to be on the planet, but circling the Earth from orbit.
"Well…I…I just…had to…see the planet before we took over it…I'm sorry...I…why should I tell you…who are you" was the rushed reply, which started of in a panicked voice which soon turned into an angry one at the end
"Your leader" he replied "which is why you should hold your tongue"
He saw her face twist into something of disbelief and panic at having spoken to someone with a higher rank the way she did.
"I'm sorry sir...I didn't recognise you" she whispered, bowing her head to look at the bed sheets
He nodded, feeling a little bit guilty; he hadn't meant to sound as angry as he wasn't. It was then a thought struck him.
"You're going to need an Earth name like me if you're going to get along" he added, then paused trying to remember how all of his new acquired name was pronounced "mine's Akih..."
"Akihiko, but that's so long now we'll just call you MA" a voice rescued his dieing sentence
Turning he found Sam and Charlotte standing in the door way watching them both
"Gee thanks" was his sarcastic reply
"You're welcome" Charlotte finished with a sarcastic comment back "now time for your name"
"Any ideas??" asked Sam
Charlotte smiled and answered with a quick answer "Yes her name is Keiko which means blessed or respectful child and for short she'll be called Kei which means respectful"
Ok well here's the next part, sorry it's taken sooo long to write but collage work suddenly seemed to multiply. Also a big thanks to every one who reviewed, but before I do the next part I really need to decide if the Martian Leader is going to be male or female. Please someone help me decide because everyone keeps on saying different views, some of my friends think it's male and others female :(. Oh and one last thing, if the name meanings are wrong then please just let me know and I'll sort them out. Please R&R
