(Author's Note - Zelda's Point of view)

- 5 October Occam's Command Center

I thought she would get better after she get used to the routine, but no, she's a lot worsted than yesterday. I watched her wiping the floor leisurely as I'm cleaning the table, and then...she falls to her knees.

I rushed to her before she hit the ground, I'm not surprised why she fainted at all. I'm glad that her head didn't hit the ground, but I'm a bit angry at how people here ignore Elisa as if she never exist.

"Elisa, can you hear me?" I asked, and shakes her little bit.

"Is she alright?" Dimitri asked, when did he come?

I touched her burning forehead as Strickland rush down from his office.

(Author's Note - I know I said there will be only Giles, Zelda, and Elisa's point of view, but I want to explain Strickland's intention a little bit too. So here we have Strickland's Point Of View)

They looked at me sceptically as I walked closer to them, and moved closer to touch Elisa's forehead. God! she's burning! Maybe I can take her home, I have no horny feelings for her, or kindness intention for her but Hoyt just made me nuts. I need to get out of this place, maybe taking Elisa home might be a good excuse.

"Let me help" I tell them, and picked up Elisa.

I signed early leaving for Elisa, and Mrs. Brewster. I looked at the back seat from the mirror as Elisa was lying next to friend. Seeing that brought me back to the memories when I was sick, Elaine refused to leave my sight, and took her best afford to take care of me.

"You can stop over there" Mrs. Brewster voice back me to reality.

I parked the car in front of the Orpheum Theater, I saw a very familiar van near by, but I guess I'm just paranoid. An old man walked to the car as Mrs. Brewster open the door.

"Don't get too happy, decent men don't let wemen stray at 2AM" I told her.

"Thank for helping, sir" she got Elisa out of the car with the old man's help.

Just looking at how they helping Elisa made me felt a bit shamed of myself. She didn't have million admired, but surrounded by people who truly care for her. My decency, and friends were from rank, and mission I did...when was the last time someone truly care for me?

We rushed out from our little pond in the mini cave to the main cave as Giles and Zelda held Elisa to bed / We moved closer, she's unconscious! what happened to her!?

"I need to get her in bigger clothes." Zelda said, and grabbed Elisa's second skin, but stop before turn to look at Giles, and us, "Hey! don't stand there! you guys out!"

Why? why does she need us out? Giles leave imdidiately, but we remained there.

"You too!" Zelda shouted to us.

Giles brought us back to the tiny pond, we want to argue, but maybe that's not at good idea / Later Giles explained women can't show their naked body to men / It's pretty odd to us because people back home mostly wore only little second skins /

I let Giles and Asset inside after get Elisa into her pajama. I placed the cool pack on her forehead, and let her rest. Asset look at Elisa in worried, I'm impressed for a while until his stomach growled.

"uh-uh Don't look at me" I said to him and shook my head, "I'm not gonna cook for you, and neither can she" I look back at Elisa before at him, "But I think can teach you how"

I teached the him how to make boil eggs, he's pretty scared of the stove at first, but in the end, he even asked me to teach him how to cook for Elisa too. So I taught him easy meal. Giles teached him how to change the water in the tub so he could do it himself. I look at the watch 6:30.

"It's time I go home now, gotta go cook for Brewster." I told Giles

"Alright, I'll call you when she wake up." Giles replied, and we hugged.

"Take care of her, ok?" I said to the fish guy as he sat next to Elisa.

I took the bus back home, Brewster was still sleeping. I took shower before I cooked for him, it didn't took long for him to wake up. He don't speak a word to me as I placed his breakfast on the table. I remembered the way her fish man looked at her, when was the last time I saw the eyes like that from Brewster?

- 6 October

I woke by the smelling of food, its morning, so Giles already leaved. I turned my face and found Asset sitting next to me. His body lights up in bright colors, how long I've been out?

"You okay?" he asked and I nodded.

I got off from bed, and tried to stand up, but I end up stumbled. He held me strongly, and brought me to the kitchen. There's a soup on the table, he cooked that? He pulled the chair out for me, and helped me sit on the chair before he walk to sit on his side. I look out the window, it's probably around 12:00. Thank god it's saturday now, no work today.

We brought her to Giles room so at least she will still have some human look after her / She sat on the sofa, watching the tiny humans inside the box as Giles teach us to make things on the paper from water with color / And then...we hear Elisa crying! / We rush to her at the sofa, and found nothing more than a box with tiny humans inside / Giles followed after us and laughed /

"You cried because of these again? Elisa" Giles chuckle.

"They are the most beautiful couple!" Elisa signed furiously in tears.

We look at the tiny box as the human are having something like a party / A young couple in white second skin surrounded by people with smiles / The young couple exchanged their ring before they kissed...what are they doing?

"Yeah they married, such a beautiful scene until they have sex" Giles said as he moved to sit next to Elisa, "So cheesy"

Ohhh so they married? but what is sex? We sat on the floor close to the box as the tiny couple enter their cave, and start taking of their clothes / The man placed his woman on the bed of fur, and then they mated...

Asset look at the couple having sex as if he's watching documentary, he don't know what is marriage and sex? He turn around to look at Giles before signing…

"You said women can't show their naked body to men" He signed to Giles.

I quickly look at him, he stunned awkwardly. What did he said to the Asset while I was out? I hope it's not something awkward…

"Well", Giles sighed, "Wemen can't show their naked body to men, and men aren't allow to see it except they are married" he explained, "or the women allow because she want sex"

I knocked Giles with my elbow, he didn't need that much information! it will only make him more curious.

"What is S-E-X?" He signed, I facepalmed.

"fuck, mating, make love, breed…" Giles said with every meaning of sex he can think of.

"Ok, got it." there's no word to describe how relieved I was when Asset signed that.

And then the door opened behind us, Giles didn't lock the door!? but thank go it's not Mr. Azounian, it's Zelda, and Dimitri.

- Elisa's Livingroom.

Elisa and I sat at the table with Giles as Dimitri sitting on the floor, checking the fishguy's scales. He look dried and a bit dull colored, but at least he looked a happy happier than when he was in Occam.

"Alright, generally he's healthy, just pretty dry." Dimitri said, and turn to face Elisa, "Have you bring him to some natural water yet? like river, or at least under the rain?"

She shook her head, "We can't take him out, it's too risky" I translate what she signed.

He stood up, and the fishguy did slowly after him. The fishguy walk to sit at the table with Elisa, and then Dimitri turn to face Giles.

"Oh! and I came to check on you too" Dimitri said to him, "How was your wound?"

(Author's Note - Giles's Point of view)

"Oh! It's completely fine!" I replied excitedly, "It's gone! like it was never there.", I scratch my bald head before I add, "But I have itchy scalp though, but maybe it's normal."

He walked to me, and check my arm, and bald head. It's pretty awkward to let someone seeing your whole bald head, but since the fishboy have already touch it...then fine I'll let everyone look at it.

"Nothing, I think it's normal." he said simply, and walked to the door, "I'll ask my friends some blind spot at the Patapsco river, and I'll call… some of you, I think." He added before he leaved.

That's it? So he travel all the way here to just check on the fish guy, and then leave? I thought he was gonna stay longer. I guess this is normal for Russian spy, can't stay in one place, and neet to have private meeting.

"At least I'll finally have chance to use my floaties after 10 years" Zelda chuckle, "What about you honey" she turned to asked Elisa, "same bikini?"

She quickly shook her head with a frown, "No bikini, and I already forgot how to swim" she signed.

The fishboy chirped excitedly, stop continuing his painting. "I can teach you!" he signed, I guess he really wanna see her in bikini, or at least 2 pieces. Wait does he know what is bikini?

"Come on! Elisa! you've got nice shape" Zelda insist.

"Well thank to my bad habits of wearing corset since highschool" She signed confidently before turned she turned sad, "But I stopped for decade already so no bikini" she signed firmly.

Dirty talk! I've read the behind the scene book, and found Giles bio, he love young couple, and will be very happy if he painting, drawing, and fucking. So I want to know what it would be like if he talk about sex to Charley in front of Elisa.

I've read some TSOW hater's review, and they said relationship between Elisa & Asset is like Owner & Pet. They said even the Asset have intelligent, but it's still not high enough for him to understand love, and they blamed Elisa for animal abuse.

So I decided to add scene of him cooking, or did some house stuff for her. I don't want people to think of him as a pet that sleeping in the tub all day waiting for her feed him.

I know it's hard to believe, but after I read the original novel, I don't think Strickland completely a bad guy. If you rethink of everything he did regardless of the bad stuff to Elisa, basically he only doing his task.

There are millions reasons why woman shouldn't show their naked body to men, but I think it would be too long, and it might take time for Charley to understand, so I decide to make it short LOL.
