A/N YaY! Chapter 4!!! Not as good as I hoped, but oh well, writer's block.

Disclaimer: I only WISHED I owned Megami Kouhosei, but of course, I don't. (I just saw the last episode of the anime, there are only 12!!!! Not good!! It ended on a positive note, but I can't believe that that's it!! *sniffs loudly twice* How could they do things like this?)

**The next day***

"Yes sir, I understand the responsibilities of taking this position on," Clay replied in up most sureness.

"Yes, but being a candidate in this category also requires a partner, and...." a man behind a desk replied.

"Saki would probably love to start as well, we both enjoy working with technology," Clay, hastily answered.

"Alright, candidate, consult her today about this change of plans. You do realize that you will be staying where you are, due to limited occupancy on G.O.A. correct?" this man, either concerned or uneasy asked.

"Yes, Sir, I do realize. I'm on my way right now to consult ny repairer." and with that the boy left the small office with he words 'Position Replacements Office'.

**In another part of the spacecraft, later on**

*pound pound pounding at the door* "ZZZEEERRRROOOO!!!!!! WAKE UP!!!!" Yamagi yelled at the top of his lungs.

"*groans* can I have ten more minutes?" Zero asked that morning, half asleep.

"More sleep? What time did you go to bed? It's already noon!!" Yamagi retorted,"What happened to 'study hall first, and swimming after lunch'?"

"Fine, I'm coming, I'm coming," Zero reluctantly answered, and slowly rose out of bed, drowsy with sleep.

**later on**

"'You are only allowed to go into the relaxation room lake with only yourself, and a G.O.A regulation swimming suit, which can be picked up at the room down the hall to you left. Please be aware of shallow and deep parts of the lake, depth maps can be viewed in the room down the hall to your right. Everything with in the relaxation room is valuable, and difficult to cultivate on G.O.A., do not pull anything out, burn, cut, or otherwise damage any life with in the boundaries..... and the list goes on. Why are there so many rules for this place?" Zero asked after he had read most of the rules for the relaxation room.

"I have no clue," Yamagi replied, "maybe to annoy us, and give the instructors a reason to give us demerits."

"I think it's because everything in the relaxation room is so delicate and hard to come by, that we must preserve it all," Roose answered as the three of them began to walk to the room with the swimming suits.

After walking down the hall and picking up the G.O.A. regulation swim suit, which Yamagi complained about and Zero stood there confused, they were finally going in the pool.

"Um, Yamagi? What does swimming mean, and what are we doing in all of this water?" Zero asked. Zero grew up in a low budget colony, where water wasn't meant to be wasted at all, there fore, no pools.

"Are you telling me you've never been swimming before? All you need to do is get in the water, Roose, do you know how to swim?"

"I don't think so," was the reply.

"Yamagi! Like th...." Zero did as Yamagi told him, but seems to be drowning.... in the shallow part.

"This is going to be loooong day," Yamagi muttered to himself with a sigh.

Zero, who finally stopped drowning, and was now on the grass began to wonder where Clay, Kizna and Hiead were, and what they were doing.

**On another side of the ship, in a dark room with windows looking out into space.**

~When am I going to finally pilot an ingrid? Am I going to be in Zero's unit again? Why do the new recruits have to take so long with their test? I should be in class tomorrow, perfecting my skills. Why didn't Allecto just go home? That would have supplied me with another partner, and possible a better one.~ Hiead, thought out every aspect so far, while starring out into empty space.

Slowly a small figure approached him slowly, he paid no attention and continued his line of thought, after thinking about this appearance ~I'm just going to let her stay there for a while, if she won't bother me, I'll spare her. The people who checked the final tests on the new senior candidates were wrong, she is the one holding me back.~ Hiead and Ikhny continued to sit quietly near each other, each with different thoughts flowing through their minds.

**In the hallway before the candidate repairers' room, number 87-89**

"So you see, working as a technical support candidate for G.O.A. is better suited to what I can do, and if you want, you can come and become one as well. You don't even have to pack, you get to stay in the same room you're staying in now. What do you say?" Clay had just finished explaining his choice, and is currently trying to get Saki to do the same, because if he received a new partner, it would take considerable time to become accustomed to each other.

"Saki, I really think you should try it! It'll be fun, and you can tell me all about it right before we go to sleep." Kizna urged.

"Oh alright! But this is only because I don't think you have a chance of becoming a pilot." Saki admitted.

"Great! It's all settled! now excuse me, I have to put some last minute adjustments to my pro-ing, Zero really threw it off the scale last time. See you later!" and with that matter settled, Kizna began to jog toward the pro-ing bay.

**Later on**

"There you go, perfect!! How do you feel about this new arrangement? We now have to battle even harder now, the seniors would do anything to beat us, we just have to keep strong," Kizna assured her pro-ing as a certain brown- haired boy walked in.

"Kizna, can we practice tomorrow instead of today? I think I drank too much water, and it hurts..." Zero complained.

"How could you drink too much water, unless... did you go swimming today?" Kizna, with a positively concerned expression asked.

"How did you know?" the brown haired boy was confused, and amazed at the same time.

"The same thing happened to me when I was younger. I didn't know how to swim at all, and someone just pushed me into a lake." the pink haired girl explained,"You should just stick to the shallow parts, I don't need to be a partner short."

*two days later during breakfast*

"Lets see.. First, Zero and I have lecture hall after breakfast, then training class,we still have instructor Azuma, next is technical training, Zero has to go anyway though, lunch, a bit of free time, class and finally dinner. how about you Ikhny?" Kizna had just received her schedule, and was a bit curious as to everyone else's.

"Well, Kizna, our schedules are almost identical, except we have instructor Keryia. Have you heard of him?"

"Not that I know of. But I'm sure he's a kind instructor."

TBC (hopefully)



A/N: R&R Please!!! Chapters don't just write themselves. (you can stop reading here unless you have time to waste, otherwise, click on the review button and continue, right now I'm going to just say stuff, and do a semi- quck analysis on Hiead, because I suddenly like him and feel I have to do somthing, afterward, I'm going to sleep) Hello, It's finally mothers day!! YaY!! Its 4 in the morning and I have to wake up early tomorrow, I mean today. Now for Hiead. Personality: dark, silent, cruel, keeps to himself. Other Things and the Proof: Contrary to popular belief, Hiead doesn't hurt Ikhny that much, infact through out the Anime, I only saw him hurt her once, and that was the 'don't try to understand me' part. (please correct me if I'm wrong) Hiead actually has a heart..... or part of one anyway. During the last episode, he saved Zero from death, but when Zero called him up on it, he said 'I only did it to see the extent of my EX' Remember, these are JUST MY THOUGHTS. Also, I'm currently under the effects of chocolate fudge, mistakes are possible. ^_~
