I worked really hard on that sketch, so I hope you like it. Please comment on it in the review.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Minakku studies the five pilots.
Minakku: *looks at Heero* You were the one to save me?
Heero: Yeah.
Minakku: *smiles* Thanks.
Silence falls upon the group. Minakku is waiting for a response from Heero that, everyone else knows, will never come. Duo steps forward, his usual smile in place.
Duo: I'm Duo Maxwell, this is *points at Trowa* Trowa Barton, *points at Quatre, who walks forward to shake Minakku's hand* Quatre Raberba Winner.
Quatre: Hello, Minakku. *holds out hand* Please, feel welcome here.
Minakku: *shakes Quatre's hand* Thank-you, Quatre.
Duo: *clears voice* This is Wufei.
Wufei: *nods*
Dr. M: Minakku, where are you from?
Minakku: I'm from Kamloops, British Columbia. What day is it?
Dr. M: May, 25.
Minakku: What? It was February just yesterday…
Dr. M: What year was it?
Minakku: 2001.
Dr. M: You have, indeed, come from the past. This is most confusing… I'll try and work out the reason for your being here. It's almost time for dinner. Quatre, would you show Minakku around, please?
Quatre: Of coarse.
Dr. M: Alright. I'll see you all tomorrow morning. Have a good evening.
Minakku: Thank-you, Dr. Macmillan. Good evening.
Wufei leaves first, seeming more ticked off then usual. Duo goes after him, followed by Trowa and Heero. Quatre and Minakku leave, talking quietly.
Quatre: So you really don't remember coming here?
Minakku: No, but I remember being in my room, and then floating in a pool of darkness. I started glowing, my body glowed, but the light I was giving off wasn't strong enough to battle the darkness, then I was there, just THERE, in the middle of a battle. What was that battle over?
Quatre: They said we stole something of theirs, and that they would fight to have it back. I, personnally, wasn't there, but Heero was, and I arrived as the other Gundam pilots did. We came in, and I saw him on the ground with you. The blood around you, and the pain on your faces…
Minakku looked at Quatre, and Quatre looked like he was trying to keep from screaming.
Minakku: Are you okay?
Quatre: All these pointless battles…We never did find out what we took…Oh, there's the dining hall!
Minakku approached the hall with Quatre, and found herself being seated between Duo and Quatre. To the left of Quatre was Trowa, and to the right of Duo was Heero and Wufei was sitting to the right of him. A large silver plate was placed in front of each of them, each covered in stir-fry and noodles.
Minakku: Thank-you.
Server: *bows head*
The group eats for a few moments in silence, until Duo starts to choke on some broccoli.
Wufei: *snickers*
Minakku: Are you alright?
Duo: *going blue in the face* (cough, cough)
Wufei gets up, and slaps Duo on the back pretty hard. Duo coughs up the piece of broccoli he was choking on.
Duo: *catches his breath* Thanks Wufei…I think…
Wufei: *sits back down* Whatever.
Duo: The great destroyer brought down by a piece of broccoli…
Everyone laughs, except Minakku.
Minakku: You'll have to explain this to me…
Duo, with the help of Quatre (because Wufei was grumbling, Trowa doesn't talk, and Heero was…well, who knows what he was. It's not like he ever shows emotion) explained about Gundams, Mobile dolls, mobile suits and the colonies. Minakku asked what they do in space, and Heero mentioned blowing up mobile dolls. Duo and Minakku both laughed, then Duo added to Heero's comment.
Duo: We do other things. We aren't usually out here. We're going to earth tomorrow evening.
Quatre: Your coming Minakku?
Minakku: I'd love to go. Why are we going?
Heero: Dr. Macmillan said we are to look for the other three warriors.
Minakku: Where? There are billions of people. How do we know which ones are warriors?
Quatre: Well, they are all guys, and…that's all we have so far. Dr. Macmillan is still trying to decipher the rest of the prophecy.
Minakku: Okay.
They finish dinner, and Minakku excuses herself. She is heading back to her room and she passes a large, transparent wall and looks out it, at earth and the surrounding stars.
Minakku: (talking to herself) The Warrior of Light? *almost a minutes passes* Me? *another minute* How am I supposed to find the other warriors?
Minakku decides to go see Dr. Macmillan to find out about the rest of the prophecy. After walking around in circles for a quarter of an hour she hears Dr. Macmillan's voice and follows it to the laboratory she was in last night. Dr. Macmillan is talking to Heero about something she doesn't understand, then goes onto the prophecy.
Dr. M: I have finished with the last of the prophecy. It says:
The other three will not fit in
But will be from this era
The Warrior of Dark will sense them and
The men will flee in terror.
The Warrior of Light can sense them too
And so will follow their trail
To find them all is one great task
It must be done, she must not fail.
The three live humbly,
And lead quite modest lives
Stubborn they are not, and will follow
The Warrior of Light when she arrives.
Heero: So, all we have to do is let her follow her gut? Sounds easy enough.
Dr. M: But there are people who will try to stop you. You are going along to prevent this.

How was that? I (personally) think the first part was better, but that's because I had to have Minakku learn about all that is happening, but we all already know that. Thank-you, Princess Venus, and I have finished reading "Destiny". It is well-written. Please Read/review. I wrote another story, with amy-chan, and it's called "The Endless Abyss Where Nine Worlds Collide". It's a humor. Read it, if you'd like.
