Chapter 3
It was a long shuttle ride up to the colonies and it was Ryu's first time in outer space. She was scared and nervous. She had never been alone before, she had always had someone to be with. She wasn't much of a talker, she and Taiyo would normally just sit together and watch TV or something. She was also still very angry from the night before, although it hadn't completely surprised her either. There had been rumors lately in the school year that he and Hikari were dating, but she just ignored them.
"Are you ok? Do you feel sick?" A concerned looking Quatre interrupted Ryu's train of thought. "Uh? Ah.yeah I'm fine, just tired." The dazed girl replied. "We still got a while to go, you can have a nap if you like." 'Wow he's so nice, he's like a concerned mother or something,' she thought to her self. "I'll be alright," she smiled and returned to the window. Ryu often gazed at the stars when she went for walks in the park, but she had never seen so many and so bright too. It was almost hypnotizing. Duo and Wufei started fighting and a sturdiest had to stop them, "Wufei take my sit, you two are such little children" Quatre said shaking his head, in embarrassment. The two boys switched sits, "hey why does he get to sit next to the chick?" Duo complained, that earned him a smack in the head from Quatre. "OW!" Duo said rubbing his head.
"So onna looks like I'm stuck with you," Wufei said dryly to Ryu. She just gave him a cold look and went back to the window, " I have a name you know.baka."
The rest of the ride was ridden in silence, until Ryu could see the colony, "is that the colony?" she asked not taking her eyes off of the incredible sight. "Yes" was what Wufei answered.
When the shuttle landed, the four of them got out and went to get their bags. They waited for a little while, but Wufei got impatient of waiting. "Injustice" he kept whining, the others just ignored him. "Do ever get tired of complaining? Must you always have something to say?" Ryu said a little agitated; Wufei didn't say anything he turned his head mumbling to himself about women. "Oh she told you" Duo said hiding behind Quatre. "CLOSE IT MAXWELL!" Wufei said sternly. "Hey look our bags" Quatre said changing the subject. "Master Quatre.. Master Quatre.I hope your trip was wonderful. Your limo is waiting outside for you." A man in a suit came running up to the small group as they were grabbing their bags. Quatre turned and smiled to the group and followed the suited man, the rest of them did the same.
Ryu couldn't take her eyes off the window. She was curious about her new surroundings, her new home. She wanted to learn more about it, what it was like, what the people were like, what new opportunities were awaiting her. "Is she alright?" Duo whispered to Quatre, "all she does is look out the windows. She's so quit she doesn't even talk to us, she's diffidently not like Relena." "I'm sure she is fine, she's just trying to adjust to her life. It must be scary for her, all alone, no friends or family here. We should let her have her space and I'm sure she'll be fine.and your right she isn't like Relena." Quatre whispered back.
"Hey Ryu, how did become a mechanic?" Duo asked, it was too quit for him in the car, he found it a little creepy. "My father owed the shop and before he passed away, it was given to my brother. He taught me about cars and other mechanic stuff and I loved it. So I continued with it." Ryu said finally taking her eyes off the window and looking at Duo. "But you have such high marks in school, you could do anything you want" Quatre said. "How did you know about my school marks?" Ryu asked a bit embarrassed, so many people asked her that question and she hated it. "What? You think that we would hire someone with out checking their back round?" Wufei said coolly. "Yes I could do a lot of things, but I don't like sitting around. I don't want a desk job, I liked being a mechanic because I got to work with my hands." Ryu said flatly. "Why don't you work in a kitchen like most onnas" Wufei mumbled. "I heard that".THUD. "OW!!" Ryu returned to her window, and left Wufei cursing under his breath.
Heero and Trowa were waiting outside when the limo pulled up to the huge Winner Mansion. "Hey Heero and Trowa, did you guys miss me?" Duo said getting out of the car. "No" was all that came from the brown haired boy. ".." Was all that Trowa said. The rest of them came out of the car. Ryu was surprised with Trowa's hair, it looked like it floated in mid air and his bangs were so long. He had green eyes, well she could only see one, his hair covered the other. "Nice hair" she complemented, Trowa just nodded. She couldn't take her eyes off of him; he was slim and tall, and very cute. "Well this our new mechanic, Ryu Sora. Ryu this is Heero Yuy and Trowa Barton." Quatre introduced. "Isn't she a cutie?" Duo said smiling. Heero gave her a deadly glare, Ryu gave him one right back. While Trowa just stood there.
"Well let's get you settled in and show you to the garage." Quatre said picking up Ryu's bags. "Is she really, the new mechanic?" Heero whispered to Wufei. Wufei nodded and rolled his eyes. "Yea and if you laugh or make fun of her, she'll give you a hard punch in the gut.won't she Wu-man?" Duo said elbowing his fellow pilot. "MAXWELL, DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Wufei ran after Duo into the garden. "Do they always fight like that?" Ryu asked, the three other pilots nodded. 'OH GREAT' she thought to herself, 'they better not fool around like that in the garage or I'll kill 'em'. "At least Wufei doesn't have his gun" Trowa finally said. "AAAAAHHHHHHH.Wufei DON'T shot me, put your GUN AWAY!" Duo ran past them, Wufei shortly after (gun in hand). Heero put his foot out and tripped Wufei, "that's enough" he said in a monotone voice. The Chinese boy glared at the boy above him; Heero looked at him indifferently. "Lets go inside now shall we?" Duo said putting his arm over Ryu's shoulder, leading her inside the mansion.
Ryu checked her watch, it was 4:00pm. 'Wow, that was fast. Time did fly.shit I'm hungry, that food on the shuttle was nasty. I don't know how Duo could have eaten his, AND mine.ewww!!' Ryu thought. Quatre had shown her to her room, it was a small room, but she didn't need a big one anyway. The walls were a light blue and there was a window seat, she had always wanted one. She had her own washroom and shower. She was very happy with her room. It was close to the pilot's rooms and hanger so, that way incase they needed her at night she was close by. She unpacked all of her things and was now all settled in. She had not yet seen the garage, or the Gundams but she could wait. If this had happened to her two years ago, the first thing she would want to see is the Gundams. She used be a computer hacker and would spend hours hacking into the computers of the Preventors and find anything she could on the Gundams. She knew them inside out, their fighting abilities and fighting styles; although she never thought to look up the pilots themselves.
There was a knock at her door, "come in" Ryu said putting her blueprints of the Gundams away. Duo walked in the door, "I thought you might be hungry and then we'd go to the garage after." "Yes please, I'm very hungry" Ryu said getting off her bed. Duo brought her to the kitchen, "it's so big" Ryu said looking around, it was bigger than her old apartment. The chef walked over; "yes can I get you two something to eat?" "Umm, yes we would like some rice and water please" Duo said, then the chef walked away. "Rice is the fastest thing that you can get here, unless you make your own food. But they always have rice ready" Duo informed her. He was right, within a couple of minutes the chef returned with two bowls of rice and two glasses of water. They both ate quickly and headed over to the garage, "the other guys should be there to tell you about their Gundams." Duo said as they walked down the halls. Ryu didn't say much, she nodded her head in understanding and that was it. "You don't say much do you? You're not mute are you?" Duo said joking around. "No I'm not mute" Ryu laughed, "I just have a hard time trusting people, that's all." She said seriously. It didn't take long for them to reach the garage, "well here we are" Duo said opening the doors, Ryu took a deep breath.
