Author's Note: argh…my good mood just went down the drain. I had this typed up. And it got deleted! I also have both good and bad news.

Word of the day: Nani (Nani: Japanese: What?)

Bad--- I am taking a two week vacation. Also, this is a super short chapter.

Good-- we're driving so on the way there I can spend time writing. And another thing to make me happy is tomorrow is my birthday!

Please people! Don't worry about Hitomi and Van! I'm a BIIIIIIIG fan of that couple.

Chapter Three

The Boy

When I got to school, I told Yukari that I was allowed to take the job. I had decided earlier that I didn't want anyone to know; questions would be asked.

But it made no difference.

"That's GREAT, Hitomi!" Yukari yelled. The whole classroom look at us. I thank my lucky stars it was a free period.

On second thought though… I wish there would have been a teacher there. I would have been spared the questionings.

"Hitomi, how did you get the job?"

"What's going on up there?"

"Are there really people on the planet?"

"Are we going there someday?"

"Are they planning on taking us over to make them their slaves and take them to their mother planet?"

I told them nothing. I just shook my head at every question. I know I was being rude, but I didn't really care at the moment.

*~*~

I was really glad to finally get out of school. I mean who wouldn't be? Everyone was asking questions, even my boring old science teacher, that was annoying.

When I got to JSC, I was led down all the long, twisting corridors once again. The room was filled with the same people as last time-save the fact that Mr. Hiriko wasn't there. I was introduced to everybody else cause there hadn't been much talking done, except me and Mr. Hiriko, at the last meeting.

The Two ladies there were both excited to have me (started to even out the odds against the boys) One had short black hair and soft brown eyes. Not as brown as Van's I thought. She introduced herself as Yoshiko. The other had long, bleached blonde hair with blue eyes, (a/n: it's Allen girl style! No, Allen went to Earth and Changed his name!!!) she was introduced as Umeko.

The men also came forward. The one that reminded me of a sorcerer came to me and called himself Taro. ("Don't worry about him, he just doesn't like people," whispered Yoshiko) Another came up to me with close cropped black hair and beady black eyes, he was Ravi. The next one that walked up had spiked hair that was dyed blue with hazel eyes. He was Nero. Then there was an American. He had dirty blonde hair and , although not as green as mine, deep green eyes. He called himself Dylan.

Then lastly there was a young man no more than nineteen. He came up to me with a small smile on his face. He had brown with naturally red streaked hair. He had piercing amber eyes that reminded me of someone else. "My name is Yasu."

I raised an eyebrow. He shrugged. "My parents really wanted a girl." (Yasu: girl's name: the tranquil)

I decided I really like Yasu, a lot.

Author's break and note

I don't' own Gundam Wing, I just like to torture the poor souls in it.

Wufei: INJUSTICE! HE is not some WEAK WOMAN!

ME: Give me a BREAK! There was only one boy Japanese name in my whole baby book and it was Taro. And besides he doesn't really mind, do you? *Fixated glare*

Yasu: I don't really care, but I wish the meaning where cooler.

ME: *sweat drop*

*Van barges in and puts Fanelian Royal Sword to Yasu's throat*

Van: Leave. Hitomi. Alone.

MEthinkingPossessive, aren't we?

Yes, I'm evil. Splitting Hitomi Kanzaki and Van Fanel apart… *sun glints off Van's sword*….temporarily of course. Hehehehehhe

Questions to leave you for the next chapters to come?

Will Hitomi fall for Yasu? What about Van?

Will Gaea be safe? Who can save them if not?

Will Hitomi be able to see the gang or not?
