Destiny's Choice
Part II - Seta



The next morning, Seta had woken up early. Actually, he didn't really get any sleep at all. He just layed down on his bed thinking. Thoughts such as "Exactly where am I realtive to home, where are my friends, and why am I here?" circled throughout his head, preventing sleep from getting to him. When his alarmclock went off, it snapped him out of his reverie, bringing him back to his current state. He then climbed out of bed, walked into the bathroom, and soon the water of the shower could be heard. Still thinking after, he decided to wonder about it afterwards. Concealing his odd disposition in the world would be his first priority. Afterall, nobody wants the government chasing after you trying to gather some data off of you. Of course, he would have to go to school which he loathed, but hid that emotion quite well. He had just finished school and he had to start a new year a few days after.
Still tired, he headed off to the cafeteria. Already there was Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei. Trowa and Wufei had a cup of coffee, and Quatre was eating something. Seta then went over to see what type of food the school was serving. Seta had just stood there for a few minutes staring at the odd yellow rubbery substance that was slopped on his plate. Making a quick decision, he discarded of the food the cafeteria called "eggs" and quickly grabbed a cup of coffee. Now he finally understood why those guys kept drinking it.
"Heero is already at his Physics class, and Duo is probably sleeping in" Trowa had said quietly. Seta had looked at the clock. It was only 6:45 and English didn't start untill 7:30. After a silent conversation for a few minutes, Seta returned to his room to gather his books. Lucky him. His class was all the way across campus. While walking to class, Seta enjoyed the silence, that is, until a loud screech filled the air.
Followed by that was someone yelling, "ImlateImlateImlateImlateImlateImlateImlateImlateImlateImlateImlateImlate!!!!!!!!!" Turning around, Seta then saw Duo basically charging in his direction. He had narrowly avoided from being rammed down.
In the faint distance, Seta had heard "Sorry bout that!". Looking at the time, he still had fifteen minutes to get to class. Duo was sure a weird fellow.
Apparantly, Duo had overslept, and it showed during class. Seta had observed his antics, which involved blabbing nonsense and sleeping in class. Eventually he got chucked out of the classroom and had to stand in the hall. The rest of the day had run pretty smoothly, nothing new, yet nothing old. At 9:00 pm, Seta had returned to his dorm room from his Japanese class. His roommate had been working on some sort of data file, but closed it when Seta came in. After a small chat, mostly about the injustice of school (Wufei's accusition), Heero had come by the open door.
"Come on Wufei, we have to go." Wufei got up and headed for the door.
"I'll be back in a few hours." was all he said before he left. After he left, Seta turned on his desk lamp, pulled out his books, and started working on his homework. By midnight, Seta had finished all of his homework. Without anything to do, he quickly got bored. He then noticed that Wufei had left his laptop on.
"Eyeing the screen, his concious told him two things. One kept on repeating "take a look, it's not like there's anything important", and the other told him "it's not yours, so you shouldn't be looking." Of course, he was incredibly bored, and curiousity killed the cat, but he wasn't a cat. He opened up the laptop slowly.
Whe he saw was incredibly amazing. The program that was opened didn't look like any ordinary "C" program window. Across the screen Seta read:

[ M I S S I O N ]

Objective: Destroy Federation base 47.52 miles SE of current location. Consult to map.
Defense: Heavily guarded. Request other four pilots for assistance
-observed several hundred Leos, Tragos, and Aries
-located in a bay area. Number of Cancers and Pisces are unknown

Do you accept?
YES[]



Seta was pretty amazed at that. Wufei was basically an "anti-federation guerilla" who actually is hired to kill people. And "other four pilots." Seta had the oddest feeling that those were Heero, Duo, Quatre, and Trowa. All five seemed so close that it had to be.

After putting everything back in it's place, Seta then went to bed, but not before he wrote his journal entry.

Tuesday/Wednesday - 12:30am

I wasn't able to get any sleep last night, and I hope I'll be able to get a decent amount tonight. I still want to know where exactly am I, and what am I doing here. If some supernatural force had taken me to this world, then there must be a ligitimate reason. All I need to do is figure out what. Of course, that is if the supernatural force thing is true (HIGHLY unlikely). Now supernatural was the cafeteria food today. Ick, I now understand why Trowa, Heero, and Wufei keep on drinking coffee. For some reason, Quatre and Duo have no problem with the nasty foodsubstances. Well that's just them. I was actually able to stay awake by drinking an excessive amount of coffee. I better start getting used to that.

Speaking of oddities, I happened to take an "accidental" look at Wufei's laptop after he left. Apparantly he went off on a "mission" to destroy some Federation base. Not being here for that long, I don't really know who and what the Federation is, so their reason to attack the base is possibly legitimate. I also half figured out that the other "pilots" that the mission had stated could possibly be Heero, Duo, Trowa, and Quatre. Also the "mission statement" had mentioned "Leos Tragos, Aries, Cancers, and Pisces." I know that Leo, Aries, Cancer and Pisces are zodiac signs, but I have no clue what a "tragos" is. Another thing that puzzles me is that the mission mentioned the word "pilots." It could possibly be some sort of fighter plane, but I highly doubt that. I just have to wait to find out. Come to think of it, after Heero, Trowa, and Wufei had left yesterday, there was a rumbling sound. Not to mention that Miss Relena mentioned something about where Heero went. It was probably my imagination. I'm getting pretty sleepy now. Today was a rather tiring day.

"Damn....", Seta muttered to himself. A long way from home, he had nobody he could trust, nor anybody he can call a true friend. A deep feeling of loneliness began to fill his heart, but within that loneliness, there was a small feeling of betrayal. Betrayal from these people he had just met, only to find out that there was something different from the way they treated him. What was going to happen if they discovered that Seta found out; he didn't know. His eyes began to water slightly. "I wanna go home now" Seta quietly whispered into thin air.
