Note: This is in Charlene's point of view.
Ar~~gh! We're trapped! Now there's nothing I can do! I never got trapped by THIS many mobile dolls…er…suits! A face appeared from the screen. Whoo, great…Lt. Une…whaddya know?
"We've got you surrounded, Duo! Surrender now!" she yelled.
My face came up on her screen. "You baka, I'm not Duo. Your stupid boyfriend has them all captured, or were you just too drunk to realize that?" I told her in a somewhat mysterious way.
She growled. "Who cares!?!? Surrender now, Charlene!"
"Not without a figh~~t…" I sang.
Ha! Now she got annoyed! "Attack!" she yelled. Now all the mobile suits started to charge forward me.
Jason was scared, or at least he looked like he was. "Wh-what are ya gonna do now?!?!"
"Attack, duh!" I said as I charged for them. Just a few hits with my…I mean Duo's scythe and I'm on my way. I mean it's just a few hundred mobile suits that are totally weak, right? They have nothing on me! Pretty soon, I sliced more than half the army in half, leaving them screaming until their death. I laughed. "Une, is this the best you can do?!?! Man, imagine if these mobile suits can't even touch me, I can imagine YOUR strength!"
"Weak!" Jason and Rikko yelled at once. Both of them laughed so hard, and why, I don't know…
"Thank you," I commented them.
Lt. Une really got mad. "You little 10 year old brat…"
Both of their laughter stopped. "10?"
"What?" I asked them, acting innocent.
"You'll pay!" Une yelled. "Treize!" She yelled once again, as she headed back towards the Libra.
"Weak onna [1] Une…" I muttered.
I went back to flying to the Sank Kingdom, and Jason finally got off my lap. What was he, some kind of kitty, or something?!?! But he is cute…
I landed right where Relena wanted me to park. She sat there, waiting for us to come. I got out, and she quickly stood up, ready to greet us.
"Why, miss Charlene, that was fast. Greetings." She bowed.
"Yeah…right…well, anyway, these are the back-ups: Rikko, and Jason." I pointed to Rikko first, then Jason…the cutie.
"Welcome. I hope you'll enjoy your stay."
"We should…" I turned to look at Rikko and Jason, Rikko sort of scared of my death glare.
"Perfect! Well, uh, I think you must be tired. Why don't you come over to the dinging hall, and have some dinner?"
"Oh, thanks, Miss Relena."
As we were being led to the dining hall, I thought about how all those pilots were so easily trapped by Treize. "Maybe they got drunk again. Well, that's what they get for being to stupid!"
As usual, Jason was listening to what I said to myself again. Is that how he is? "Who got drunk again?"
"The Gundam Pilots…er…that's what I think. Well, I think their drunkness and stupidity led them to the trap Treize made."
"Oh."
When we came to the dining hall, I saw…Chinese food.
"I apologize for the food not being…fancy," Relena explained, "But I was in the mood for Chinese. Is that fine?"
All three of us nodded. By the time I got to be seated, man, was I craving for orange chicken! And RICE!
I got hungry. "Doumo arigatou, Relena-Chan! Orenji Chiken wa oishi desu! [2]" I yelled as I dug into the sweet, warm chicken, and the hot, steamy rice.
"Oh, I'm glad you like it! How 'bout you, Rikko? Jason?"
Both of them also had some chow mien. "It's delicious. Thanks, Miss Relena!"
She smiled. Now all four of us were digging in.
After an hour of eating (it took us a while, because we were so hungry), she escorted us to our rooms.
But that was I night I feared. You see, I hate stormy nights, and let's just say…I screamed when the loudest thunder possible just scared me, as if it were some ghost. Scared stiff, I quietly went to Jason's room. As stupid as he may seem, he's really brave. The only reason why he was scared at the Gundam battle was because he has never been in one. Typical for beginniers…
I took a peep inside. Jason was fast asleep. "J-jason?" I whispered, and then I repeated it a little louder. "J-jason?"
Boy, was he a heavy sleeper. He was still there, snoring.
Another thunder came up loud. I jumped, and screamed.
Now he woke up. "Charlene? What are you doing here?" he asked me, rubbing his sleepy eyes.
"I-I'm s-s-scared."
"Of?"
"T-the t-t-thunder. Can I sleep with you? I mean, not in a dirty way."
He turned on the lights. "It's okay." His arm was around my shoulder. I body temperature must have rose, cuz I instantly blushed. "Thunders are just sounds. It's alright." He led me to his bed, and we both set upright from the edge.
"Well, you're a boy. I'm a girl. I mean we're both totally different."
"How? Besides that we're the opposite sex?"
"Well, I'm an orphan, you're not. I'm an official Gundam pilot. You're not. I was basically born to fight. You're not. You're just a nice, innocent guy I just met at school. You know, you didn't really need to do this."
"Do what?"
"Help me out on the battle ahead. I mean I'm just a fighting machine. I was born to fight, period. Nothing else. I was made perfect soldier just like Heero Yuy to protect Relena from any danger. You're not. You could've just stayed on Earth, and have a high chance of living longer."
"No. I really wanted to help out."
"Really?" I looked at him.
"Yeah."
Silence between the both of us rose. Then I, hating all the silence, spoke.
"You're not like other boys. All my life, I've hated boys. Actually that's the only thing I hated besides seafood."
"Why do you hate boys?"
"Obviously, they always act mean to me, like my only purpose was to be tortured and bossed around by them and only them. You're really nice and kind. Thanks for helping me out."
"No problem."
He really made me feel better. I started to feel sleepy…
"Charlene?" I heard him, but only slightly, as if he were far away from me.
"…"
"Oh, well," I heard him one more time before I started to drift off to sleep.
