Gundam SEED: Another War
Chapter 10

Erica's watch alarm beeped in her ear for the last 15 minutes until Mr. Purple jumped on to her stomach.

She quickly sat up and looked around the room confused.

" Wha...?" she sleepily said.

She looked at her watch and turned off the alarm and yawned. Eyes took another glance at her watch and saw it was quarter to twelve.

" Oh no!" she whispered with a slight shriek.

She got up off her bed and grabbed her pink and blue knapsack from the chair beside her door, she opened it and grabbed some cloths from her dresser and closet and stuffed them in to her bag.

Mr. Purple hopped up and down on her bed, watching her fanatically get everything together.

She grabbed a hair elastic and put it in her bag and then she stopped for a second while dropping her bag.

" What am I doing?" she asked her self.

Mr. Purple rolled of the bed and in to her bag.

" We go! Haro!" it said.

Erica smiled and picked up her bag.

" I think father forgot to tighten some screws in you," she giggled.

" Haro?" it questioned confused.

She grabbed some stuff from her bathroom, some stuff off her dresser and grabbed her helmet from the chair her bag was on.

Before she put her helmet on, she looked at her self in the mirror to see if what she was wearing was alright.

She was wearing a pair of blue faded jeans with a black stud belt, a white long sleeve shirt that showed her shoulders and silver hoop earring in her ears.

" Will be doing training so I think the cloths I have in my bag are alright," she thought.

Erica got on her purple helmet and walked up to her balcony; she got on her black heeled boots and her blue jean trench coat and opened the door. She slung her bag on her shoulders and slowly climbed down the vine fence to the garage.

Almost to the bottom, her foot slipped which made her shriek as she fell on her butt when she hit the ground. She sat on the ground for a few seconds and heard nothing, just silence, meaning no body heard her.

The garage door was closed until Erica pushed the button on her keys which made it open. Her pink and blue motorcycle was sitting beside her father cars.

" Haro, ride!" Mr. Purple said.

" Shh!" Erica shushed it.

It was still quiet.

She got on it, put the keys in to the ignition and started it up. She quickly rode out of the garage and away from her house when she got on to the road.

It took her a good 15 minutes to get there; the line was getting smaller when midnight hit every watch and clock.

Erica got in to line and looked around; she didn't know anyone as she waited.

The line slowly moved and people were getting impatient for waiting so long.

Erica saw a lot of older men and few women; she could probably spot a few people that were her age.

" Maybe I should go home?" she mumbled to her self.

Someone laughed and Erica turned around surprised. Her grew and started moving away from them.

" You..." she said.

There were two people and she knew them.

One was a girl who had boyish short light purple hair with shoulder length parted bangs and violet eyes. She wore a black frilly skirt with black heeled sandals, a red sleeveless turtle neck and platinum hoops. A red and black leather book bag was on her right shoulder.

The other person was a guy.

One guy had dark shaggy burgundy hair and dark brown eyes. He wore a pair of knee rip blue jeans and a black t-shirt that says "Screw Me" on it and a pair of brown worn out boots. A torn black knapsack was on his back.

" What? You're not happy to see us Clyne?" the first guy asked with a smile.

" Geez Hil, even when Reese isn't here you still pick on her," the girl sighed, crossing her arms.

Hil looked at her and shrugged.

" I'm kidding," he laughed.

The girl walked up to Erica and looked at her.

" Don't mind Hil, he's an idiot," she smiled.

Erica looked at them, still scared of them. They were Reese's friends or followers.

The girl looked at Erica confused.

" Look, we're not going to do anything wrong, Reese isn't here and we're not going to call him," she explained and her hand out," can we call it truce?"

Erica just looked at them.

" Oh come on Aya, are you actually willing to be her friend?" Hil asked surprised, walking up beside her.

Aya's foot rose and slammed down on Hil's foot, which made him screamed.

Some people turned around to see what was going on and some guys in suits ran over and looked at him.

" You kids settle down or we'll not allow you on the shuttle," one guy said.

" Uh..." Erica started.

" We're sorry sir," Hil said formally," we did mean to be loud sir."

The suited person looked at him.

" Well just don't do again," he warned.

He walked off and Aya nudged Hil in the side.

" Way to go soldier boy," she grinned.

" Oh please, I didn't want to get kicked out," he said blushing.

Erica looked at the ground and Aya looked at her.

" You know Hil just helped you from being kicked out of here," she said.

" I... I don't even know you guys and not even your friend," Erica replied," so I don't understand how this got me involved."

Aya frowned.

" You're a weird person," she sighed shaking her head.

They waited in line and it got smaller and smaller.

All of a sudden, Erica turned around and looked at Aya.

" Why are you here?" she asked curiously.

Aya and Hil looked at her surprised.

" 'Cause we want to," Hil replied.

Aya smiled.

" Actually I'm here because I've never really like Naturals... after hearing all the things that they did do us during the previous wars, I'd be willing to fight for us Coordinators," she explained and looked at Hil," but this guy is an idiot and just decided to join because of the cool uniforms."

" Do not!" Hil turned his back to her with his arms crossed," well... a little."

When they got to the enterence of the shuttle, she was stopped at a gate.

" Your name miss," some person asked with a clip board in there hand.

" It's... uh..." she said and looked at the ground," Erica Zala-Clyne."

The guy looked at her and looked at the clipboard, his finger down the paper and stopped.

" You're..." the guy started to say surprised.

Hil crossed his arms looked at him.

" So what if she is?" he asked.

Erica looked at the ground a little embarrassed.

" Uh... right..." the guy said," go on a head."

Erica, Hil and Aya went through the get and got on the shuttle.

They all sat down in the same row and Erica looked out the window.

Out of curiosity, she had to ask them something.

" How come..." she started and they looked at her.

" What?" Hil asked curiously.

" How come Reese isn't here?" Erica asked.

Aya put her left hand under her right elbow and looked up confused.

" I'm not really sure, I half expected him to fight with us," she replied.

Hil laughed.

" I think it's because his mother has him whipped," he continued laughing.

" Hil!" Aya nudged him the side," if he were to hear that now, I think he would punch the lights out of you."

" Thank god he's not here," Erica and Hil mumbled and both of them looked at each other.

" Eh heh..." Erica smiled nervously.

After a few minutes, people were asked to put on there seat belts and prepare for launch.

The shuttle flew off the ground and in to space and again to Erica, she closed her eyes and braced her self with all the turbulence.

" I don't like this," she whined as tears started to form in her eyes.

" You've never been in space before?" Aya asked.

Erica's opened and then looked out the window.

" Uh... just once..." she replied.

" Only once..." Erica thought and her face went a little red.

" If you been out once, then how come your scared? Everybody in there life has been out in space," Hil explained.

Aya just looked at her and smiled.

" Don't worry Erica, if you need anything, you can ask us," she said.

Hil looked at her surprised.

" Wait, has she, all of a sudden, become our friend?" he asked her.

Aya nodded with a giggle.

" Yep, she seems really cool, I don't know why Reese picks on her, I don't even remember a reason why he started picking on her," she explained.

Erica looked at her surprised.

" A friend?" she asked.

Aya nodded while Hil shrugged with a nod.

Erica looked at the ground.

" I... I just want to say thank you..." she said again.

Hil looked at her and shrugged again.

" Eh... no prob," he said.

" If you hadn't said anything, it would've made a big scene," Erica explained," it probably would've gotten the press involved because the daughter of Lacus Clyne and Athrun Zala actually fighting with ZAFT and then they would call my parents and had them come down here and I would've been in trouble."

Hil blinked.

" I never really thought something like that would've happened," he replied," I just said it because I just wanted to get on the shuttle because I hate waiting in lines for something."

Aya nudged him in the side and laughed.

" You're face is turning red Hil!" she giggled.

" Sh... Shut up!" Hil cried.

Erica smiled and looked back out the window.

While they were talking, Erica never noticed the turbulence until she looked out the window where everything was smooth and quiet... well quiet out side but around, people were talking and Aya and Hil were arguing.
