The sound of voices outside her door caused Kawa to wake from her slumber. She sat up in her bed rubbing the sleep from her blue eyes and then lazily climbed from her pink bunnies and hearts covered sheets and made her way the door. She gave one more big yawn before she opened the door and stuck her head out looking for the owners of the voices. When she saw no one in the dim lighted hall, Kawa tip toed out in her bunny slippers and shut her door behind her carefully. She then made her way down the empty hall to a corner and peeked around. Her eyes went wide and a little drool dribbled out of the side of her mouth at the site she saw. A tall slender young man was talking to Doctor S. The young man had brown hair that gently swept over the left side of his handsome face and forest green eyes, his arms were crossed over his red and blue jacket and his eyes were fixed on the doctor listening. But Kawa's gaze however was not solely on the young man, but on the tall gleaming mobile suit behind him.
"Woooow." The blonde haired girl sighed. "It's beautiful, god I'd die to pilot a thing like that."
The stranger's forest green oculars looked in the drooling girl's direction and glinted with amusement, but his facial expression stayed the same, blank.
"Kawa?" Dr. S asked. "What are you doing up at such an hour?"
Kawa snapped from her daydream and fell over with surprise. "Eee!"
The two men winced as the young girl crashed to the floor in her pajamas. She stood with the help of Dr. S and placed a hand behind her head in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry father but I just heard you two talking and I got curious. Please forgive my rudeness sir." She finished bowing to both the Dr. and the stranger.
When she looked up her eyes met those of the young man and she gasped. She recognized those eyes, they belonged to that little boy she saw a long time ago the day she had lost her parents.
"Are you alright?" the boy asked.
Kawa came to tears streaming down her face, and her right hand clasped onto the golden locket around her neck. She shook the memory away and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"I'm sorry. Don't worry about me." She smiled. "I'll be going now."
She turned and walked off down the hall and into her room. "Who is he…and why is he here?" she asked herself. He obviously was talking over something important with the doctor judging by their faces, and didn't she see a man lying on the catwalk next to the giant mobile suit? She sighed shaking her head and slumped on her bed and pulled the covers over her face. She'd think about it in the morning, when her brain was fully functional.
~*~*~*~*~*
The next morning Kawa sat outside wearing a pair of short ripped shorts and a purple spaghetti top. She held a pencil in her mouth and moved a strip of blonde hair from her face as she typed away on her little laptop, and growled with frustration as she slammed the mini computer shut.
"There is absolutely no possible way that mobile suit could have been built that large with the normal resources." She grumbled. "So what is it made out of?"
"Gundanium aloi my dear Kawa." A voice said from behind her.
Kawa tilted her head back to see the smiling face of Dr. S. "Gundanium aloi?" she asked. "You mean that's a…gundam?!"
The Doctor nodded, "Yes it is. It's called the Orion."
"Do I get to pilot it?"
"Yes, I was planning to save it for your birthday, but it's a little too late it seems. Seeing as you already discovered it." The doctor chuckled.
The young girl squealed with delight and hugged her adopted father. "Oh thank you, thank you, thank you!!"
The doctor hugged her back and said, "You're welcome!"
Kawa grabbed her laptop and then ran down into the hanger to look over her new suit.
The Orion stood well above the height of a normal mobile suit, and was the sparkling color of blue and gray. In the mobile suit's right hand it held a giant double-headed light saber, its left hand held nothing and was clenched and hung by its side.
The young girl pilot's eyes sparkled with glee and she climbed up into the cockpit examining all of its machinery.
After a long while a video screen appeared in front of Kawa. She jumped and then sighed with relief.
"Father don't do that." She laughed while fiddling with something inside her mobile suit. "You scared me."
"I'm sorry Kawa, but you had been in there for so long I wanted to check to see if you were still living."
Kawa laughed musically and replied. "I assure you that I am alive and well."
"That's good. Why don't you take a break for awhile and have dinner?"
"Ooo what did you make?"
"You're favorite."
"Spaghetti?!"
"No your other favorite."
"…what other favorite?"
"Leftovers!!"
Kawa groaned. "Leftovers??"
"Yep. No hurry up or you'll miss it!"
"God, I'd die if I ever missed leftover night." Kawa grumbled as she shut off the screen. "Why can't he cook a decent meal?"
She slid out of the gundam and onto the catwalk closing the cockpit behind her, and stumbled into the green eyed stranger.
"Oh I'm sorry." She said laughing.
The man laughed sweetly and replied, "It's quite alright miss."
"My name is Kawa." She said extending her hand.
The man took her hand and shook it. "You may call me Trowa."
"It's a pleasure to meet you Trowa."
"And you as well, but I must be going."
"Oh yes, I'm sorry to take up your time."
"Don't be bothered. I enjoyed it, and would like to do it again sometime." And with that he smiled and continued on his way.
Kawa looked after him, here eyes sparkling. "What a hunk.." she said under her breath. "I wonder what he's doing here."
She thought for a few more minutes and then shrugged and continued her way to the kitchen to receive her last meal of the day.
