At seventeen, she was the youngest age they could recruit. She had waited for her seventh birthday with up most anticipation. She couldn't wait to join the military, she wanted to be just like her sister, a Special Corp. Lieutenant. Good thing her sister knew her superior or she would be stuck doing boring cadet jobs. She would also end up training. She didn't need any training. She lived around the Lake Victoria Training Base all her life, considering her sister worked there. She knew every jet, every mobile suit, and every shuttle. She wanted so much to go to space and help rebuild the colonies. But for right now she
Rosalita sat at an outdoor cafe around the corner from the Peacecraft Palace. She was here on new assignment and she was in charge of protecting the princess Relena. It was something Rose did not like. She hated Relena and couldn't wait until her shift was over and she got to head over to the base. At the base they had her flying mobile suits, fixing the bugs, then flying them again. After that rigorous activity she was exhausted and headed to the nearest cafe.
She sat at the table with a cup of herbal tea which she sipped slowly. She felt something bump against her leg, and then she heard a crash. She looked down and saw a very handsome boy, about eighteen in age, lying on the ground at her feet. She jumped up.
" I am so sorry, here let me help you up."
She held out her hand as he tried to get up. His hand was surprisingly soft and muscular. He was so thin, you could have never been able to tell that he was muscular, unless you touched him. He looked like he hadn't been eating or sleeping well. He had beautiful brown hair, beautiful Prussian blue eyes. He had on a green t-shirt with a jean jacket over it and blue jeans.
" Do you want something to drink? I did trip you after all." she asked.
"O.k. whatever, I'll have a coffee if that would be all right."
" You know that stuff is bad for you."
" Huh?!?"
" Jeez! Just joking."
He sat down as she flagged down a waitress and ordered a coffee for the man or boy or whatever he was.
" So what's your name? My name is Rosalita." she again extended a hand.
" I'm Heero Yuy." he took her hand a gave it a good shake.
" Really you don't strike me as the rescuing type."
" What?"
" You know Heero, Hero," he gave her a blank stare," Ugh he doesn't get it, how thick could a guy get." I mumbled to myself somemore. But then a girl with long brown hair walked up.
"Oden Lowe Jr. What are you doing here?"
So he lied about his name.
" I was.....uh..I.w-was um." he looked at me with the look of fear. I instantly felt bad for him.
She grabbed him by the ear and began dragging him away. Chastising him the whole time.
~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~
" What are you doing?" Her sister asked as she leaned up against the bathroom wall.
" Taking a hot shower!" she answered.
" What, was my lesson today that bad?!" Her said laughing.
" No I...uh..I met a guy today."
" Really, what was he like."
" Slightly perfect."
Her sister laughed ' Slightly?'
" He had no sense of humor, At least not at the moment."
" What did he look like?"
" Brown hair, blue eyes, jeans...."
" Green shirt ?" her sister finished.
" Yeah. How did you know that?"
" I know him."
" Really?"
" Yeah sure."
Rosalita's eyes grew wide, and then she remembered that girl.
" I s he going out with anyone?" Rosalita asked.
" Not that I know of. Why do you ask?"
" Oh, that's Angel she's a friend."
" Whew." Rosalita joked, " Well I've told you about my dreamboat now what about this guy your 'engaged to' I'm supposed to meet."
" Oh him? He's downstairs you ran right by him."
" Oh thanks for the warning." Rosalita umped out of the shower and grabbed a towel.
" Oh and Lulu watch out." Rosalita points at the shower as her sister turned around, she gave her sister a "gentle push." Her sister landed in the shower, instantly getting soaked. Rosalita just ran out of the bathroom and headed down the hallway, straight to her bedroom, and locked the door. She could hear her sister yelling at her.
Rosalita got dressed and walked downstairs into the living room. She saw the most gorgeous man with blue eyes and surprisingly long blond hair.
" Why does Lulu get the good ones." Rose thought to herself.
" Where is Lucrezia?" He asked.
" Oh she had a little accident. She'll be down soon."
" Sooner than you think Rosie," Rosalita cringed she hated that name, and Lucrezia knew that.
Lucrezia walked past Rosalita, now dressed in civilian clothes. As she walked past she whispered.
" I will get you in your sleep," changing tones," Hello Zechs."
" Zechs Merquise??" Rosalita asked.
" Yes I am Zechs Merquise." He answered.
Rose saluted, " Excuse me Colonel Merquise, I need to speak to my sister privately."
Rose grabbed her sisters arm and started dragging her into the kitchen.
" What is it Rose?" Lucrezia asked.
" You are getting married to my commanding officer? Is this the inside person you talked to, to get me higher in the school? Is that actually the Lightning Count? One of the greatest military minds ever?" Rosalita rambled off.
" You forgot Milliardo Peacecraft."
" Oh no, No. Ah crap."
" What?!?"
" If he is Milliardo Peacecraft does that make Relena Peacecraft his sister?"
" Yeah. Why?"
" Um. I was kinda teaching her to....um....fence and I....um....broke her sword then...um...punched her. Gave her a beauty of a black eye too." Rosalita gradually got softer.
" What?!?!?!?"
