Truths of the Heart

-A Path I Never Knew I'd Take-
Natasha and Argo


I sit looking out the window of a large spacecraft. The direction in which I am looking is that of the earth. I am a woman in my mid twenties with dark blue-green hair that is left long with bangs. I have a pair of glasses that sit upon my nose and my figure is average, not too tall, and not too short.

For myself, today marks the one-month anniversary in which Domon Kasshu; Gundam Fighter of Neo-Japan defeated the Devil Gundam, rid everyone of the DG Cells and saved planet earth.

Since that day I; better known as Natasha, crew member of the Neo-Russian team have always wondered if it had been a good choice to set the prisoner, Argo Gulskii free. My answer is the life that I have just begun living, the path I just took. I am now a space pirate.

Upon returning home to the Neo-Russia space colony I was punished for setting free Argo and his fellow space pirates. He had been through enough, with the gundam fight and the conflict with Andrew Graham, I wanted to know why...why he had to go through more! So that's why I acted the way I did. Without thinking about the consequences.

But as I stare out into outer space, so beautiful and serene, I know I have made the best choice. If you really think about it...my life before becoming a pirate wasn't great. I would work the same job day after day and only work towards one goal, helping with the gundam fighter that would lead our nation to wining the gundam fight. I never really had a life of my own.

But now I do.

I know that someday I'll return to the earth and suffer from the wrath of the Russian authorities, in fact that day will come in 3 years, right before the elimination 11. I will need to return to earth with Argo because the Russian authorities need him, not me. Still, I will support him through the years that follow and who knows, maybe we'll win the gundam fight someday.

I wonder if the other Shuffle Alliance members are worried about our quick departure. Probably not, they know Argo is fully capable of taking care of himself. Still, in all of my life, I have never met people like them. People that I can believe and trust in. Like Domon Kasshu and Rain Mikamura. Or like Chibodee Crocket and his crew or George de Sand and neo-France's future ruler, Marie Louise. All of them, special in their own ways and hold different places in my heart.

I may have not enjoyed the gundam fight, as you may have guessed, it's true I got frustrated easily but I would never trade the experience of the 13th gundam fight for anything. I have true friends and allies now...and so does Argo all because of this fight.

I hear the door slide open and Argo walks in a takes quiet seat next to me on the couch next to the window.

"What is on your mind?" He asks, his voice calm.

"I was just thinking about the future and about the gundam fights," I reply, my eyes wandering over to him. He also stares out the window, like I was doing and he too was most likely worried about what would come in the future.

"You shouldn't really. What you did is in the past and even if it ends up affecting the future, we'll get through it together."

"Together..."I say somewhat absentmindedly. I guess he was right. And in my mind I know that it is true what they say, a person can never live alone.

So from this point on I'll continue down the path I have taken and never again look back at why I did what I did.



Done with another chapter, yet again something short. I was hoping they would get a little longer but I wasn't sure to write for this one. All 3 people who reviewed last chapter wanted something with Argo and Natasha...so here you go! I guess that means George and Marie Louise would be next! I don't think that story will be in a POV though...we'll see! Thanks for reading and feel free to leave constructive criticism behind!
