Course menial chores had to be done like cook , clean , and laundry but it was still the good life and when Thanksgiving came she had forgotten that much time had even passed , she had been enjoying the serenity of this world so the thought of going to space to fight hadn't been sitting well , but it was that time again , time to go, fight, and lose everything that they had , man oh man she hated the fact that the kid was right about it all being an endless waltz.
The space port was likely going to be the best part of the trip , watching everyone turn green at the idea that they were trusting their lives to a cartoon space ship was cute , but that is how it would look on her world , of course she wouldn't admit that trusting her life to such a contraption was effecting her in any way , she just stood there with a twizzler in hand munching away happily and just kept thinking this was no more then just a big roller coaster ride , her CD Player and music she had on hand , but most of the trip had been uneventful , of course seeing much of anything was near impossible untill they docked up at L6 , and that just made the whole thing worse , after all she did sign up to see the world.
" I never," started Jason as he sucked in some air " want to do that again as long as I live."
" Their food is worse then what the plane serves, I thought I was going to blow chunks." Stated Savanna
" I think I saw mine move." Said Amy as she gagged.
" Hey, at least were here and we aren't going back on the shuttle." She said happily the group mumbled a few " Yes's" and " Yeahs"
Trel kept looking around , space didn't seem so bad once you were out here , course not the colony cluster she wanted to be in but it was outter space after all , take what is handed to you seemed to be the whole point to this assignment , take a vacation , then take a flight and now they had to wait to be handed a Howard look alike to get more orders from ....maybe scaring the bejeezus out of the docs had been a bad idea , course if Fred was anything like Howard this would be one easy trip.
" Oh my god." Stated Savanna in a pure state of shock.
" It's ...its ...its" stated Jason. Trel's eyes followed his finger towards the crowd and whom it was now surrounding.
Matthew finished his sentence for him " Relena," he said with emotion.
" It seems that our cold hearted leader has feelings after all?" stated Trel as she nudged Matthew in the ribs , it was almost sweet , to bad there were no cute kids around selling flowers for this event , after all the other pilots pretty much knew they were here.
" The cold heart has been melted! Ladies and gentlemen some call the press! Wait there here!" Amy said laughing
" Vice Foreign Minster Dorlian Whats you love life like?" one reporter shouted. Trel's jaw dropped as she watched Relena stop where she was and turned to the reporter, he was scrambling out of the body guards way.
" Ouch, that has to hurt." Stated Amy she took a sip of her drink.
" My love life is not important to me now only the future at hand for peace." She stated calmly with a small smile on her face and she quietly turned around and continued walking. Trel turned to watch Matthew's face fall as he quietly watched her go. She continued her lone march towards her gate and soon disappeared in the tunnel.
" Those reporters know exactly what buttons to push and which strings to pull." Said Savanna sadly as she took a sip of her drink.
" I here yeah." said Amy sadly.
Geez , even the news hounds in England wern't that heartless she thought as she kept an eye out for anyone comming their way which after a few more moments had her staring off into space when something slammed into the table , when they looked up there was a grinning Howard or was it Fred?
" I'm guessing you five are the Americans I was sent to pick up?" he asked the group nodded as they rubbed their eyes sleepily , ,next time she was gonna put a sign up to make that question irrelevent.
" Good, now grab your bags and follow me." He said as he started walking away from the group. They followed as they made their way trudging through the port; they followed Fred down the hallway that had a sign over head that said Private Ports. Amy ran up to Fred and said
" Are you really Howard's twin brother?" she asked as she walked beside him .
" Yeah, Fred Dannon the name and piloting the Titian is my game. I presume your Amy Maxelle, Computer Hacker of the group." He asked he took a glance at her.
" That's me alright." She said confidently. Fred looked back at the group of four following behind him.
" You," he pointed at Trel " Are Trela Armstrong, Medic and Communication Expert."
" Yep, you can call me Trel for short." She smiled , now she really was gonna get a sign and in big red letters paint 'Gundam pilots with secrets sit here' .
" And you are Jason Storm the tactics planner and the trigger happy one of the group." He chuckled , boy was in for a surprise when he found out Jason was worse then just trigger happy most times.
" Hey, watch it I only get trigger happy when I drink coke!" he shouted as he crossed his arms and mumbled stuff in Spanish.
" And Savanna Walker the undercover spy." He said Savanna nodded her repile as she continued walking.
" And that leaves Matthew Miranda, the leader. Welcome aboard captain." He said as he gave a mock salute, that did it , he was definatly Howards brother , hopefully he knew this base was secure well enough to be this open in public.
" Its good to be aboard." He replied. They walked a few moments in silence, until they stopped and looked out the window. They gasped at what they saw it was exactly like Peace million except for the gold , and it had red letters on top of it say U.S.S Titian " The ship that can change the stars.".
" Man if you like it on the outside wait till you see it on the inside." Said Fred as he walked on , she flipped the music on , if the boredom wasn't going to kill her all this walking would. The light was bright so they covered their eyes, when their eyes adjusted they saw a crew all in uniform and standing in straight line saluting at them. The group's jaws were on the floor, when they saw how huge it was.
" This is my loyal crew and some are your trainers since this is your first time in space." Said Fred as he pointed to the military like people. " They will help you with anything that you need." The pilots nodded as the looked around the hanger, that is when she got a nasty idea that had eluded her earlier ..... they'll help with anything that was needed huh ..... how about flowers delivered to a certain ambassador she wondered , grabbing one of these loyal crew members to enquire as soon as she had the chance. They were given a tour of the Titian and placed their stuff in their rooms. They were sent back into the hanger and they saw Fred waiting for them.
" Before we move out of the port the doctors wanted me to give you something." He started smiling which made Trel sure it was bound to be either a dagger in the back or a self implosion device cause a self detonater would make one big mess of the colony , not to mention the spotless bay they now stood in.
