Xamick and I sat in the hanger sparing she attempted to get at me and I sat there blocking. It was a good work out for both of us. The other pilots were spread out throughout the house. I was back on the Gundam team in everyone's eyes but Dr J's. Wufei walked up to me and tapped my shoulder. Xamick stopped and we bowed out and I turned to Wufei and we bowed and stepped onto some mats. We began to spar and I messed up and he threw me to the ground really hard and he didn't mean to and I moaned and I laid still in a lot of pain. Wufei ran and got the others and they came to see what had happened. Everyone crowded around me. I sat up and they all let out the breath cause I hadn't moved for about 10 minutes. "Wufei you got to learn to be more careful" The door bell ring and I got up and walked upstairs and opened the door to see Brett and Bennett I let them in and called Xamick.
All four of us were smiling until The 5 other Gundam pilots entered then I kept a straight face. I looked at Xamick she knew what to do "good luck" I said and then couldn't help it Xamick and me started to giggle. We were laughing about Xamick's task of teaching Brett to keep his mouth shut everyone gave us weird looks. "I'm gonna go get the heating pad my back hurts" I said trying not to laugh again glancing at Wufei and the others still giving us weird looks. I went down into the hanger and started to work on my Gundam when Xamick came in with the 2 boys showing them around. "That Gundam is well built with a good design to it" Spoke Bennett I wasn't facing him. That was probably a good thing cause I rolled my eyes. I kept working. Xamick called me down and I climbed down more like jumped down from my cockpit. Brett and Bennett just stared at me. I wasn't much liked in school and they didn't think I was a pilot but now they believed it.
"What no offense but I'm a little busy this frigin Gundam become a pain in the butt after awhile." "Well Wufei's looking for you he wants to make sure your ok" Xamick spoke. "What did you get beat up or sometin" asked Brett. "yeah Wufei threw me down really hard Xamick when you see him just tell him I'm fine. Oh and you have to get these 2 to a safe house on your own." "Wait I can't I have a mission tonight by Dr J." She said "I have a mission to" "yeah but yours isn't from Dr J" "That's because" I stopped and got upset. "I'll be at the shooting range if I'm needed" I felt like I could cry. I walked off to the shooting room and pulled out a rifle. I loaded it and shot. Bulls eye. Next target. Reload. Aim. Shoot. Bulls eyes. New target. I kept repeating my steps and Xamick Brett and Bennett walked in they had there shooting glasses/goggles and ear pieces on/in. I kept shooting. After about 50 shots I went and got my targets. All bulls eye. Bennett and Brett didn't believe it. I pulled out a black powder and shot that. Bulls eye. Clean. Reload. Shot. New target. Clean. Reload. I did another 50 shots all with bulls eyes then put my guns away.
"Lorim I'm sorry I forgot please forgive me" Xamick said. I looked her in the eyes and spoke my mind. "Because Dr J is training you, you think your stronger then me. Because you're on the team and I'm off doesn't make you a true Gundam pilot. And another thing because your missions come from the scientist and mine don't doesn't make you more experienced and make you have higher authority." The guys were shocked at my attitude towards Xamick. My eyes began to become sad "You don't know how it feels to work for something all your life and be on a team all your life and then be kicked off and have your best friend take your position so why don't you just leave me alone." I went up to the kitchen and sat down at the counter and leaned on it I knew Xamick and the guys had followed. "Computer counter screen" I said and a screen came up. "Training files" I spoke "Now print just my training status please and screen down" the screen disappeared and a paper appeared.
I handed them to Xamick and walked on if she read those papers she might understand. I went to my Gundam and turned it off I left a note saying I would be in space if they needed me. I flew off into space. But Oz attacked me once out of the atmosphere. I turned on my new cockpit system and it took over me. Epyon threw me into the earth's atmosphere. I crashed down in the US, I landed somewhere near CA. My Gundam was just a bunch of metal in a crater now. I was found by a bunch of Gorillas and when I woke I woke in restraints I didn't remember my name I didn't remember anything but being in some cockpit of a mobile suits. I moaned there was a sharp pain on my right side, I had broken my ribs.
A man came over and undid my restraints. He told me I could stay and work with them. He explained how they had found me. "I'm commander Keith what's your name anyways kid?" I shrugged I didn't have a clue. "You look like a Michelle (cough cough to those who know me) to me" He said. "K" was all I said. He introduced me to everyone on the small base. Over time I traveled with them fighting and helping people through a war. We went to a small country place called Stafford. I learned it was in Virginia. They sent me to the store to get a few things.
Someone came up to me actually 4 people. A girl and 3 boys. The girl spoke "Lorim is that you" "Who are you" I said. "You don't remember" I didn't like this so I ran and ran by foot all the way back to the base and they followed and I stood behind the commander and the rest of my friends at the camp stood with me. I felt like a little kid. "Give us the girl" the girl of the group of 4 said. I was the only girl on the gorilla team and that was fine with me. I hadn't ever minded. "Why should I" said Keith. "She's our friend we've been searching for her for months." I felt like the voice was familiar and I stepped up and when my commander told me to stay back I didn't listen I walked up to her. "What's my name?" I asked cautiously. "Lauren Michelle Stover but we call you Lori and Lorim there your nicknames and your codenames." I knew she was right I don't know how, but the words made my head hurt and I passed out and dropped to the ground.
I woke up a bit later dizzy with everything blurry. I could tell I was in the medical tent and that both sides of my now known 2 lives. I gave a small moan and sat up. "Why did you pass out" Commander Keith asked me. "Because I had a flash back they are my friends" He knew I was talking about the 4. " I don't remember much but they can be trusted. "So will you come back home to your home with us" All of a sudden I had all my memory and I looked at the girl, Xamick, "Why should I Xamick you're the whole reason I lost my memory" she sighed. "So you remember, I'm really sorry Lorim" I looked her in the eyes "Guess what sorry isn't good enough. You're the reason I'm not a Gundam pilot anymore." When I said I was an ex Gundam pilot my commander freaked.
I stood up. "I'm out of here I'm going to go find myself a new home and start over again." "NO Lorim please don't" Xamick said. I was about to cry when I spoke and you could tell by my shaky voice and my blood shot eyes. "Why shouldn't I go Xamick were not friends anymore. I'm going to my home and I am going to get my Gundam shipped to me by Howard and I'm going to work on my Gundam and live my life the way I want to with or without Dr J".
At that I walked out and walked back home and into the front door with Duo, Brett, Bennett, and Xamick on my heals. The other pilots were amazed to see me walk in. "counter screen up!" I said to my computer and the screen popped up. I typed in a message and sent it to Howard. "Screen down" I spoke and the screen went down. I looked at Xamick. "Xamick I do hope your happy because I am still mad at you I know it was 4 months ago when we started fighting but I am still mad." "I'm sorry Lorim I know I screwed this up." "Your right you did now if you'll excuse me I have some things to go straighten out. I have to go put my life back together and find a school to go to." I went up to my room and pulled up the screen hooked to my main computer system. I began to type. Xamick came in with the other pilots "I thought you weren't going back to school because you hate them so much" Xamick said. "Well people talking trash about me and trying to beat me up and me letting them so I don't get kicked out of school can't be any worse then this.
"You guys shouldn't be fighting" said Heero. I just kept typing. I turned around to face them. "You guys just don't get it, my life is screwed over. I don't have enough time to piece it back together again. Its start over or spend my life piecing my original life back together." They left I made us all dinner and we ate in silence. We all went to bed around 10 everyone was asleep by 11. That's when I began to sob. I was so confused and lost what was I going to do. Xamick wasn't there her and Duo had taken Brett and Bennett to a safe house. I knew the other pilots knew I was crying but left me alone.
The next morning I ate a little bit and sat in my room with the cot out using it as a desk with papers spread out all around her she heard Xamick and duo come back in. Heero popped his head in. "What's with all the papers" he asked. "Well I'm applying for college's." At that he left me alone to fill out tons of papers for each college. I was applying for mostly technology colleges it was her best area. I got frustrated after hours locked up in my room and went down stairs when there was a loud thud. I found Duo and Wufei fighting again. "Can you guys please keep it quiet I have over 100 forms to fill out!" They look up "sorry" Wufei and Duo said in unison. My temper had become shorter since the "accident". I went back upstairs. That night I finished the forms and sent them out. I hadn't eaten all day except a granola bar for breakfast.
I looked at my watch, which I always wore and it almost never came off. It was midnight! I sighed heavily. I crawled under my covers in bed and went to sleep. I woke up at 6 the next morning and everyone was already up and dressed and wide awake while I was still in my nightclothes and my eyes were barely open. "How could you sleep??" asked duo. "What do you mean??" I questioned. There is a near by base bombing this morning." "Oh yeah I live really close to a base and I'm used to sleeping through it but Xamick isn't cause she doesn't live close enough to get sued to it." I spoke tiredly. "But I'm surprised your up Xamick" I grinned. "It's Saturday and you normally don't wake up until 10 on Saturdays unless you fell asleep in the basement and your sisters wake you up." "Yeah well those bombings are like my sisters" she said, I had to grin.
I yawned and went into the office and got on the Internet. No one was on as usual. I checked my mail and I had an email from Chris and smiled read it I wrote him back then signed off. I walked back into the kitchen "Any mail" asked Xamick. "Of course" I said "So he wrote you" she said "He always writes when he has time in the morning" "ah ha" said Xamick the guys were staring at us wondering what we were talking about and we just acted normal cause we were. I sat down at the counter and gave another yawn. "But that's not my Gundam pilot email so no telling how many emails I have from Howard and the Doctors and everything." I said, "This is true" Xamick said. I liked having another girl to talk to. I wasn't mad at her anymore I think I was partly but for the most part wasn't.
Quannaco began to bomb again and I said aloud "Shut up already we know you like practicing your bombing but come on its to early!" I sighed heavily. Duo raised an eyebrow at me. I yawned loudly and rubbed my eyes I normally liked morning but this morning I don't know what my problem was. I went into the dinning room where a piano sat. I sat down at it and began to play many different tunes from various books everyone came in they enjoyed it and so did I, I always did. Once I finished I went to my laptop and got myself a mission I put on a bulletproof vest and took a gun. I attacked an OZ base killed as many as I could and got out.
When I came back everyone looked at me my face was pale and I collapsed into a chair. They went back to what they were doing trying to act like nothing had happened. I slipped off the vest from under my shirt. I knew the impact from a gun had broken my ribs. I went up stairs and "taped" myself up. This made me sit and stand taller then I ever did but I would have to stay this way and keep my ribs in place until they were healed. I went to bed and slept only an hour or so until everything became to quiet.

OK I'd like to tell u a little bit about me being mad in this fic and getting mad at Xamick (which is unusual). Its all because I was and still am having a very bad week. So I kinda got my anger out in this fic instead of skinning up my knuckles. And umm yeah.
