Chapter 2
The three waited for about five minutes, until a body immerged from under the car.
"What? AN ONNA?" Wufei spat out.
"Hey, I ain't complaining! She's got the job!" Duo said satisfied.
The girl stood there and glared at the two young men before her, but was interrupted by a blond boy. "Um.excuse me Miss. Sora, but could we have a moment of your time please?"
"Sure, my office is just over there (she points to it). I'll be in a sec, just let me clean up" Ryu said and lead the three boys into the office, then left and to wash off the oil and gas off of her face and hands.

"Where is that weak onna?" Wufei complained.
"Did you see the way she looked at you Wufei, it was like yours and Heero's death glare, but deadlier." Duo said dreamy-eyed. "She is sooo hired Quatre, I love her brown hair and her blue eyes. I think her hair is longer than mine.." Duo trailed off into La La land.
Wufei and Quatre looked at their friend and rolled their eyes. "I think that if we hire her, our gundams will probably end up breaking down on us before the end of this week at the rate she moves" Wufei commented.
"I'm sorry but I usually don't move this slow," a monotone voice came from the door. Ryu heard all of what Wufei had said, but ignored it. She had put her hair up in a ponytail, with a couple of pieces of her bangs falling in her eyes. Her blue eyes were somewhat blood shot from crying the night before. Ryu had taken her coveralls off, and was wearing jeans and a light blue T-shirt with a panda on it.
"I must apologize for our reaction, we though you were a guy." Quatre said sounding very ashamed of himself and his friends. Ryu's look softened; "it's ok. You wouldn't believe me if I told you how many times that this has happened." She tried to fake a smile but it faded faster than it came.
"Can we just get to the point?" The Chinese boy said harshly.
"Yes, we are looking for a new mechanic, and I have heard a lot about you Ryu. You have been said to be one of the best. If you do chose to take this job, you would be getting paid three times as much then you are now, although you would be on call for 24 hours. You would also have to come and live in the colonies up in space. You will be given a place to stay and you would have to leave tonight." The blonde said taking a deep breath.
Ryu thought for a moment, 'wow' she thought. "Can I have a moment to talk to my brother?" The three boys nodded. "Um.is there anything else that I need to know?" she asked at the door.
There was a long pause before anyone said anything. "Umm.should we tell her?" Quatre asked.
"You will be helping in the war against OZ. We need you to fix our mobile suits." Duo said in satisfaction that he hadn't given their identity out.
Ryu went wide eyed, this was her chance to get OZ back for what had happened to her parents, she was very pleased, but then she realized something. "You mean that I'll be working for the Gundam pilots?"
'OH SHIT!" the three boys thought in unison.
"Let me talk to my brother first" she said and left.
"Good going Maxwell, now she knows that we're the gundam pilots." Wufei said pissed off.
"NO she doesn't, she still doesn't know. All that she knows is that she'll meet them." Quatre said.
About 20 minutes passed before they heard Ryu talking to someone. "Taiyo, are you sure your ok with this? 'Cause you still can't cook for yourself and I don't know if I can make it on my own." "Hey, we both knew that this would happen someday. I know that we'll both be ok, and I can learn how to cook.but before you do go, I wanna know one thing. What happened last night between you and Lee? Don't say anything, because I heard you crying. And you're way too quite!" She didn't want to tell her brother, but she knew he would find out some way or another. "Ok promise me that you won't kill the baka. I already did a number on him last night. After we ate he told me that he has been cheating on me for the last 5 months." Taiyo's face started to turn a bright, bright red and if looks could kill. Lee could have been a million miles away and still drop dead. "Taiyo? Promise me.Taiyo? HEY Taiyo?" Ryu said jumping up and down trying to get her brother's attention, "promise me you'll leave to stupid loner alone" she pleaded. "Oh you never let me have any fun," Taiyo said childishly. Ryu smiled at her brother, "good. Thank you. I better get going then, I already finished the last car. So you have the whole day to work on your car. Ja ne!" She said hugging her brother and went into the office.
She sat down at her desk, "I told my brother that you are opening a new chain of car garages in the colonies, and you need new mechanics. And that I agreed to take the job as a full time mechanic. Although he probably doesn't believe me" Ryu said rocking in her chair.
"So you'll take the job?" Duo said smiling. The girl nodded. His smile grew.
"I'll have to pack my tools from here, and then we must go to my apartment so I can pack my things." Ryu said going into her desk.
"There are tools in the hangers" Quatre said.
"Oh I know, but I have my own tools that my brother got for and I always use them." She said getting out some boxes from under the desk.
It didn't take Ryu to long pack her stuff from the garage. She said her final goodbye to her brother and then left with the three boys to go the apartment. Duo was very impressed with the girl's car; it was an old sports car, convertible. She told him that she and Taiyo built it last year.
After she finished packing all of her belongings she made dinner for all of them. She took one last look at her home and locked the door.
The three waited for about five minutes, until a body immerged from under the car.
