A/N: Brouhaha!! That's the word of the day! And the Message of the day is

*trumpets*

C is chosen. I figured that would be chosen. And _________ came up with the idea of putting B and C together. I'm trying to figure out if that'll work. Right now I'm just trying to get the basic plot. I have ZIPPO clue on what to right. Hehehe. I was reading your comments and I was staring in shock. HOW THE HECK AM I GONNA RIGHT A GOOD STORY IF I'VE ALREADY GOT WRITER'S BLOCK?!?!?!?!? Any way.

Magicman: You have a good idea, but I could never pull it off,

Thundersenshi17: Yeah Author's Notes are supposed to be funny. And I LOVE them teehee

Disclaimer: I'm tired of knowing that I'm going to have to put this every time. So here- This story is mine and some new characters, all of the respective characters aren't mine-this goes for the whole story.


Chapter 2 of The Visible Planet

I don't know what to do. The interview had gone on only for a while after that. I had told them what I knew. I had tried to keep away from my own interpretation; better to stick with the facts. I also didn't tell them very much about their customs- I didn't quite trust these people.

The people here at JSC (Japan Space Center ---I have no clue what theirs is called so I made it up) wanted me to join their research team that they put up for Gaea. As far as things went, it would be a great job. I would most likely be one of the top leaders in the field, which, needless to say, came with a good pay check. I thought it was a little odd though. Why have some 'kid' on your billion dollar research team when she isn't even properly trained when others are?

As I was walking home, I saw on a television in the window of an electronics store with the news on. I stopped to listen.

"Newer reports from JSC say that, unknown before, the planet is inhabited. This new bit of information was given to JSC by a young lady that claims to have actually been to the planet. She says that the planet is called Gaea and-"

I turned away. They were already using my information without giving out who I am, so they're able to keep all of the credit to themselves. Greedy. That's what those so called scientists are.

When I got home the I called Yukari to tell her all about the interview I had. "Yukari. You'll never guess what happened!"

"What?"

"They actually offered me a job as one of the research scientists at JSC. I'd get paid, and I'd be on the night crew so I wouldn't have to miss school or anything. Although I'm not sure if I want to take it though, the people their strike me as a little, I don't know, devious," I said

"I think you should take the job, 'Tomi," Yukari stated.

"Why?"

"Why? Isn't it obvious?" My silence gave her that answer. She signed. "That way you could actually tell if something was up with them. Plus my very best friend in the whole wide UNIVERSE could treat me out to places with the money she earns."

I smiled through the phone. "Always thinking of yourself Yukari! Shame on you! But it's not like I could do anything if they decide to do something to Gaea."

"You said you can talk Van at times, why not tell him through that?" Yukari asked.

"Good idea. Oh but wait. One MAJOR problemo. I can't talk to HIM, he can only talk to ME."

"That makes no sense."

"Sure it does. It's like a phone line. His side is always busy, so only he knows when he can call me cause I'm always off," I said sweat dropping.

"Er… I think I get it. Okay… would you be able to use the blue light thingy to go there?"

"I don't know. (A/N: call me weird, but this is MY thinking of how the thing works) I think that only Van can take me there. I can get back home with the help of my pendant, but I can't get to Gaea. When I was there and went from Fanelia to Asturia and Asturia to Zaibach, I had my pendant, but I wasn't able to get off of the planet. So I don't believe I can get there on my own. Even if I could, Van has the pendant." (A/N: figure it all out? E-mail me if you can't StarMystD@aol.com )

"Well girl, you are just brimming with good ideas Hitomi." Yukari said sarcastically from the other end of the line. "Well, are you going to take the job?"

"I'll ask my parents."

~*~*~

When dinner was served I finally decided to ask about the job. "Mom, dad?" I started.

They looked up at me. "Well, how did it go, Hitomi?" Dad asked.

"Well, uh… they, they asked me to join their research team, and I was wondering what you thought." I stuttered.

Mom and Dad looked at each other. My little brother looked up from his food. "Hitomi, you're the worst liar that walked the planet."

"I'm not lying!" I yelled hotly. (a/n: I thank God I'm an only child)

"Why would they let an airhead like you be on their team?" He screamed back, standing up and leaning over the table to get in my face.

"Why you little-"

"Both of you!" Mom yelled. We looked at her. Mom never yelled. "While you were" a pointed glare at us "having your conversation, your father and I decided that it would be alright," she finished.

"That is, once we know what all the factors are," Dad finished.

"Well, they told me that I would have the night shift that way I wouldn't have to skip school," I said.

"What about sleep?" Mom asked.

"I wouldn't be there that late." Mom nodded. "I'd get paid, it's a good job, and nothing could really hurt me working at a computer." I went on.

"You could strain your eyes," Dad said smiling, "but isn't that the ideal scientific look?"

Then, little brother looked up at me. "You're the young lady that knew all the stuff about Gaea, aren't you?"

I looked at him for a while. After a while I noticed a faint aura around him. Grandma had the same type of aura! I thought to myself. "How did you know?"

He shrugged. "Just a guess. Although, I don't think you're a lady at all!" He and Dad started to laugh. Men. Mom shook her head.

I got up from the dinner table and walked into the living room. I went up to the counter that the phone was on. I picked it up and dialed JSC's phone number. "Hello?" the receptionist asked.

"I need to be transferred over to Mr. Hiriko's office." I said.

"One moment please." I was put on hold. A minute or so later Mr. Hiriko came on.

"Hello?"

"Mr. Hiriko, I've decided to take the job." I said.

"You have? Good for you. Please come over after your school gets out. We'll give you all the updates we know at the time and then tell you all your job descriptions."

I hung up the phone after good byes were said. Do I really want to do this? I asked myself.





HI'YA! I know normally when you get a job you know what you have to do. Hey~ I'm the author, I make the decisions. SO HAHA!!

Sorry it took so very long to update but my internet wasn't working when I was done. ARGHHHHH… computers.
