Bryn: I HATE my muse… *growls* anyone who keeps me up that late
when I can't think should die.
Tab: O.o;;; Crap… Well it's been nice knowing you all.
Bryn: *grumbles about stupid muses*
Tab: Anyway…

EDITOR'S NOTE: Being the baka I am, I accidentally said Trowa's controller is G. I've fixed it now.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Two days and counting." Tabitha sighed as Trowa entered the room. "Hey Tro.
Soup again?"
Trowa sat down in the chair and shook his head. "More questioning. Even Relena
doesn't know so much that the doctors are afraid that Oz would get information
from her. So what do you know?"
Tabitha grinned. "Who do you want to know about?" Trowa looked at her for a
moment before answering. "Anything I know about the others I hear from them.
Tell me about myself."
"Aww, you're no fun. Well, you were separated from your family during an air
raid and found by mercenaries with no memory of who you were or who your family
was. With no name, they called you Nanashi." She stopped and thought. "Whatever
is Japanese for 'No Name'. Anyway, mercenary and camp whore until about age 7.
You witnessed the death of the real Trowa Barton and took his name for your
own. Found by Dr. S and trained to be a Gundam Pilot." She looked at Trowa.
"How am I doing?"
"Well enough. Any info on me as a pilot?"
"You pilot Heavy Arms. I got schematics on that too. You go on whatever mission
your controller gives you." She shrugged. "Not much to tell, really." [1]
Trowa's eyes narrowed. "Your bluf-" He was cut off by an explosion that
rocked the house. A moment later Duo burst through the door. "I hope you can
walk, toots, 'cause Oz just found us." Seconds later Duo's feet dangled in the
air, his back against the wall and Tabitha's hand around his neck. "Don't call
me anything other than Tabitha or Tab. I don't do pet names." She let go and
Duo dropped to the floor. Turning to glance at Trowa, "coming?" she walked out
of the room.
Trowa leant Duo a hand to get up before giving him an amused look before
following. Duo was the last to exit, mumbling something about "Wufei wannabes."
When Tabitha reached the bottom step, she found her hands full with a coat and
pants. "Put those on." Looking up, she saw hero dressed in the same outfit. She
nodded and quickly put on the clothes over her existing ones, watching Trowa
and Duo do the same.
Another explosion sounded, much closer this time. A third followed soon after,
still closer. The six teenagers looked at each other before making their way
out. Soon, however, they found themselves trapped between a mobile suit and a
group of cocky, young, male Oz soldiers. Tabitha choose that moment to have a
breakdown.
She sat down and began crying. "Why does everyone hate me so much?! First I get
lost in this place and when I FINALLY find a house it's full of a bunch of
serial killers who tell me if I cry they'll murder me and then I hear all those
explosions and of course I'm terrified and then these monsters drag me with
them through this awful place and then you show up and I think I'm finally
saved and you point GUNS at me and and…"
By this time Tabitha had gained the sympathy of the soldiers, as well as
blankets and hot cocoa. The boys, on the other hand, were tied together and
getting glared at. Finally, Wufei had had enough. "ONNA!! Stop your whining or
I WILL kill you!" This earned him a beating and fresh wails from Tabitha. Soon
she had another cocoa and had quieted down.
Suddenly, the mobile suit began to move. The Oz soldiers scrambled out of the
way of the feet of the suit. Forgotten were the pilots and Tabitha, all that
remained was the primal instinct to survive. And even that soon ended, as the
suit opened fire. Then, as suddenly as it had started, it stopped.
Tabitha shakily made her way to her feet. Shuffling over to Wufei, she untied
him and helped him up. Already a black eye was showing up, and blood trickled from
his nose.
"Gosh 'Fei, I'm sorry!" She ripped off the bottom half of a sleeve and handed
it to him. "If I had known they would do something stupid like that, I would've
killed 'em sooner."
Wufei and the others stared as she finished untying everyone. Quatre spoke
first. "Are you saying that you made that suit move?"
Tabitha turned to grin at him. "Well, it doesn't move by itself, now does it?
Hang on a sec." Slowly the suit came back to life once again as Tabitha's eyes
became glazed. The suit took one step, then another, making its way to a new
destination. Once it was out of sight, Tabitha's eyes focused on Quatre's. "I
headed it towards their base camp. That should stir things up a bit, ne?" She
looked around and put on a goofy grin. "Dur, which way do we go, George, which
way do we go?"
Trowa led the way, and they continued on towards the next safe house in
silence, each caught up in their own thoughts.
