Waiting by Cowgirl Ed2002
Disclaimer: Sorry, the deliveryman got lost
Notes: Uh… All I can say is that I'm so glad that I've gotten so many reviews for this story… Of course, I could always use more! Also, I'm going to refer to Son Jamie as San at this point. His name is too long, and I keep typing Jamie in his place.
Anime Zoids Waiting Cowgirl Ed2002 Chapter Fourteen
Bit leaned in closer to the door, listening to the conversation. So Leena had loved him all along. He smiled. He had loved her all along, too.
:::Inside San's room:::
"Jamie took care of me the way Bit never could, though. (A/N: Bit probably frowned at that.) I don't think that Jamie and I were meant to be." She said into San's hair. He nodded, still clutching her to him, glad that he knew all this now. He fell asleep in Leena's arms. Leena, after about an hour, placed him on his bed, and covered him up. It was Saturday, he could sleep all day. She turned and walked out of his room.
Later that morning, Bit and Leena sat curled up in bed, talking about 'the good old days.'
"God, I feel horrible about hurting Jamie like that." Said Bit, referring to the time he had shot him.
"At least you apologized…" said Leena, a faraway look in her eyes.
"What do you mean?" he asked. "Isn't it a given to apologize to someone after you've shot them, not to mention insult them?" he asked. Leena looked down.
"I did something much worse to him, and it's been ten years and I still haven't apologized." She choked. He stroked her cheek.
"I'm sure Jamie forgives you, he loves you." He said kindly. He knew now about Jamie's true feelings for Leena. Leena shook her head. "What did you do, anyway?" he asked, looking into her eyes. She didn't say anything. "Well?" he asked again, after a few minutes. She shook her head sadly.
"I broke his heart." She said. Bit nodded. "Again…" she added, trailing off into yesteryear. Bit let a sigh escape his lips.
"Well it's all over now, so you don't have to worry. We'll probably never see him again, well at lest hopefully not, so it's not too bad." He reassured her. But deep down, anger was boiling up inside her…

(A/N: Okay, I'm jumping five years into the future now. That chemical in Bit's brain has come back, Leena and San are living in South Crystal. As you know, and incase you have forgotten, South Crystal is where Jamie lives. It's the poorest part of Crystal City. San is going to school there, and Jamie is a math/ social studies teacher. San has a girlfriend named Kaya. Kaya has a crush on Jamie.)

San glumly stared out the window. He couldn't wait until it was over. The English test. It was more boring than going shopping for food. It was the most boring thing on the planet. No, the universe. He looked over at Kaya. English was her best class. She was an excellent storyteller, and artist. That was all. Except for being nice, beautiful, and all-around good girl. Her golden ringlets were pulled back today, and her azure eyes indicated that she was enjoying herself. San sighed, and looked at his test. On his last one, he had gotten a D. He looked at this one. He could tell that he would only do worse. He racked his brain for an answer. What is the better way to say it: Lucy and me, Me and Lucy, or Lucy and I? This one was a hard one, considering he was used to saying Lucy and me, but then he remembered what his mother said. He circled the last one. Now tell why. What? Now that was a toughie. He picked up his pencil.
First of all, it just sounds better. Second, it is more polite to put another before yourself.
Satisfied with his answer, San moved onto the next page.*****
After class, San and Kaya went to lunch. They sat down at a table in the corner of the giant cafeteria. It was only big because the student body was 3,007 people. And they all had the same lunch break. No one else sat at their table. There was the in crowd, which moved together five tables. There was the student council, which moved three tables, then there was the in betweeners, which to up seven tables, and then there was the out crowd. They took up two tables. San and Kaya always sat at this one table. No one sat at it because the other end was broken.
"That English test was hard, don't you think?" Kaya asked. San nodded. He stared at her. He reached out and touched her cheek.
"Pretty." He whispered. Kaya blushed. They ate the rest of their lunch in silence. However, it was content silence.
Jamie sat at his desk, slowly and carefully correcting the homework from his last class. Once in a while, he would put his red pen down, and pick up his sandwich. He would slowly take a bite, meanwhile looking at the paper. Then, put the sandwich down, and begin again. He put the papers away when the lunch bell rang. In the next class, Leena's son James, AKA San, and San's girlfriend Kaya would be there.

"And so, needless to say, the Blitz Team really was one of the best teams in history." Jamie said. San looked at Kaya. She practically hung onto every word Jamie said. A girl in the In crowd raised her hand. Jamie shoved his hands in his pockets. He nodded to her.
"Excuse me, Jamie, but isn't it true that you were the team's strategist, and, after a few years, arsenal?" she asked. Jamie nodded.
"Yes, in fact, I was. I piloted the Pteras for awhile, then the Raynos. My strategies, however, as soon as the famous Bit Cloud came along, didn't work so well." He laughed at the last part. Everyone else laughed along with him. Everyone in the whole school liked him, and a lot of the girls, In crowd and Out crowd alike, had serious crushed on him. San shifted uncomfortably. San's archenemy, Tomoko, raised his hand, stealing a glance at San, and sneering. Jamie pointed at his hand.
"Yes, Tomoko?" he said.
"Isn't San's father Bit Cloud? And isn't Bit Cloud in the hospital right now? And didn't he shoot you?" he said, a wicked smile on his face. San felt that Tomoko was out to get him. San and Jamie both shifted uncomfortably.
"Bit Cloud is San's father by marriage. Yes, Bit is in the hospital right now, recovering from a strange chemical reaction in his brain. And that is why he shot me, because of the chemical reaction." Said Jamie. Tomoko nodded. He looked extremely sinister right about now.
"So then who is San's real dad?" he asked. Jamie shook his head.
"All I can tell you is that San's mother was raped." He said. San shrunk in his seat.
"So that means that San is a mistake?" he asked, smiling (think Grinch)
"You are one to talk, aren't you Tomoko?" he said, smiling. Everyone burst into laughter, pointing at Tomoko. San felt a bit relieved. At least now he had something to tease Tomoko about.
