"Why the hell am I here?"
A short, slender girl who seemed to be in her late teens shot at the driver. The man gripped the steering wheel and glared at her with dark Prussian blue eyes through the rear view mirror. "Quit bitching already." Her angry amethyst eyes glared back at him before she crosses her arms tightly over her chest. "Kiss my ass, you frozen bastard."
He examined her with such scrutiny you'd think she was almost perfect and he was searching for some tiny little flaw. Perfect ivory skin, well toned body, long silky black hair and gorgeous violet eyes. Her only error, that he could find, was in her attitude. He ignored her tight white tank top with the blue and gold edges and the large black intials 'SSJ'. His eyes intently rested on the ape tail that was coiled tightly around her waist, the brown fur bristled with her anger.
"You are here to baby sit my best friend's son while your Sister and I prepare our wedding."
She rolled her eyes and snorted, 'Love, such a pitiful emotion. Damned mech pilots.'
As if hearing her thoughts, he returned his hard gaze on the road. Only an hour left, then the bitch would be traded off to Quatre, and Heero couldn't wait to hear what the Arabian had to say of the snotty stuck up Princess.

She opened the door just as he passed it, slamming the handle into his groin. With a low moan, Heero bent over, his hands covering that spot as she exited the car and grabbed her single, light weight bag. She slammed the door shut and walking up to the mansion's gates.
"He lives here?" She asked to no one in particular, according to Heero was still doubled over. Shrugging, she kicked the gates open and walked down the path to the porch where a blonde haired man and a blonde haired woman were sitting, drinking tea. She stopped dead in her tracks as she heard children laughing and curiously glanced over.
Over in the bushes, two blonde children were playing tag with a blue haired woman. "Damn, the Winners have twins? I better get paid extra for this."
The woman stood up straight, narrowing her sapphire blue eyes and watching the babysitter. "Ameenia." The girl said curtly, tugging her backpack strap up on her shoulder.
"This is Bit and Serah. Bit's the little boy you're supposed to babysit and he's 10 years old. Serah is his friend and her Father just dropped her off here. You get paid for her too, and she's 8 years old."
The two children stared at their babysitter before Bit tugged on her hand, "Can we go play?" She was about to nod when a monster jumped from the bushes and tackled Bit. Screaming in fright, the babysitter charged a ki blast and was about to turn the white thing into dust when Serah and Bit hugged it. "Don't hurt Zameil!! He's our friend!"
"Alanna..."
Alanna looked at Zameil, the children and her hand in disgust, then spat on her hand and starting rubbing it clean. "Damned mechs, damned organiods.. Damned things just won't fucking die."
Serah's eyes got big and Alanna could see all the way to the crystal depths. "Oooh... You said bad words! I'm telling Daddy!" Bit jumped up and down, "I'm telling toOoOoOoo!!"
Alanna sighed and rubbed her temples, "Listen brats, I'm old enough to use bad words. Okay?"
"How old are you?" Bit asked, tugging on the leg of her cut off shorts. "Older than you and old enough."
"Oh."
"Can we go watch tv?" "Yeah! ZBC, boom boom boom!" "Ritatatatata!!"
Alanna glanced at her older sister with a questioning look, "...?"
"They want to watch a Zoid battle."
"Ah hell no."
"Ooo-" "I'm old enough, remember?" "Oh yeah."
Alanna avoided touching the children who had been contaminated by the organoid and led them up to the porch, nodding stiffly to the parents.
"Mr. Winner, Mrs. Winner."
She opened the door and let the kids run to the living room, leading her to the amazing set up.
Big, wide screen tv. And stereo. Big Stereo.
She sunk into the couch cushions, sighing as Serah turned the tv on to the ZBC channel.
"Yay!" Bit pounced on a pillow, then lay down quietly to watch the fight with large sea coloured eyes. Serah sprawled herself across Bit's back, using him as a pillow and began watching also, her little mouth hanging open.
Alanna closed her eyes tightly and tried to block out the ripping sounds of the Zoid battle, trying to remember the tricks Vegeta had been teaching, anything to escape the nightmare. Then she felt breathing on her face and opened her eyes just in time to scream at Zameil, who was leaning over her with a curious look.
"OKAY! Enough!"
She jumped into the air and clung to the ceiling, startling her charges into looking up.
"We're playing hide and go seek! Bit, you're it! Serah, go hide!"
With that spoken, the babysitter disappeared and reappeared on the roof, sighing in safe contentment.
Serah giggled at Bit, "Our babysitter's funny." "Yeah! I like her, she's nice!"
"Even though she gots a potty mouth?" "Uh huh."
Serah ran out of the room, leaving Bit to count to 25. Trouble was, Bit kept loosing track and ending up at one again.
'She's tired of being scared.'
'She'll pilot soon then?'
'She's still too scared for that.'
'Soon?'
'Perhaps.'
Bit stopped counting and strained, listening for those soft voices again. He ran to the window and looked out, then heard the voices again and stopped moving and breathing.
'She misses being my pilot.'
He stumbled down the stairs and out the front door, concentrating for the voices.
'She misses playing with me.'
He halted infront of the garage and peeked in, then gasped softly at what he saw.
A large, purple and black Blade Liger was crouched in the corner, a small silver organoid sitting on it's head. They both looked up and stared at the little human child.
'Hello little boy..'
"Hi!!" 'He understood you! How can he hear us?'
'I don't know. What's your name little boy?'
"I'm Bit! What's your name? Are you a Liger?"
'I'm Violet Shadows, call me ViShad. Yes I am a Liger, a Blade Liger.' ViShad roared quietly and proudly.
'And I aaaam Zade!'
"Nice to meet you! How'd you get here? Can I pilot you?"
'Nice to meet you too, our owner brought us here. And I don't think she would like you piloting us, Bit.'
"Aww...-"
"What the hell is going on here??" Bit turned around and waved at Alanna, "Look! Look babysitter! A Zoid! Who do you think pilots it?" "Her, Violet Shadows is a her."
'She is my pilot, Bit.'
"Alanna is a pilot? Wow!" Bit hugged Alanna's legs and she growled lightly at him. "Don't you dare tell anyone Bit Cloud Winner!"
"But why...?" Bit whined, tugging on her shorts leg again.
She unfastened the locket that hung about her neck and opened it, flashing a picture of Liger Zero and a family at Bit. "I'll give you this."
"Okay!! I won't tell no one!"
