Shattered Truth

"I'm not tryin to make you feel better...my right arm isn't real," he grabs at the base of his shoulder and twists his arm and pulls it off. "See?" She jumps a bit and shrieks.
"Uh.what happened to you!!"
"Calm down! I lost it in an accident awhile before I met you. Haven't you ever noticed how I can pick people up by their throat with just my right arm? And be able to slam them through a brick wall? All with my right arm?"
"Well yes... but I just assumed..." She gulps. Lee reattaches his arm and moves his arm up and down. Kat shivers.
"See? We both have our little secrets...well not anymore."
"Well I guess then after we got that cleared up then let's move on." She starts to walk. Lee mumbles.
"I probably shouldn't have told her about my arm..." He follows. "Hey look the sun is starting to set. My first day back is nearly over."
"Yeah...the sunset is beautiful..." She rubs her arms. He puts his coat around her shoulders. "You should have brought a jacket..." Kat smiles and holds his jacket tightly around her.
"Thanks for the lecture." She coughs.
"What do you want to do?"
"Search me." She smiles. They walked around the city, and even passed the place where Lee destroyed the trees, which embarrassed Kat. They soon retired. They next day Katrina and Chibodee Crockett, fighter for Neo America, had a match.Katrina the victor. Kat's other side emerged during the fight, and she managed to return to normal before she destroyed the city. Maxter Gundam rises out of the ocean and flies off. Lee opens the cockpit.
"Kat?" She falls to hands and knees and gasps for breath. Lee kneels beside her. "Kat? Snap out of it!" She rubs her head and looks up at him. She suddenly hugs him.
"I overcame her finally!! I did it Lee!!!" He hugs her back lifting her off the floor.
"That's great!! You started to worry me again..." She hugs him tightly.
"Oh Lee. I'm so happy and I feel fine. It was risky but it worked."
"Good.even if you hadn't overcome her you wouldn't have been able to kill me."
"What did I do?"
"You ripped off Chibodee's arms and sliced up his head then let him sink...but Maxter flew away.you also threatened to kill me but you wouldn't have been able to. If you look behind you ...you will notice something."
"What is it?" She looks behind her. The Mirage Gundam appears holding a sword over Kat's back.
"My gundam wouldn't have let you..."
"Oh. Well... no telling what could have happened though with my other side. With my other side my power is limitless but I have no control when my other personality emerges."
"I understand...well.ya won the match and no one died."
"Cool! This is the first step to controlling my other side." Lee's face turned sad.
"It was my fault that you changed again."
"What do you mean? I remember telling him to hit me so that I can go to my other side. That what I meant by saying it was risky."
"Oh so it wasn't me this time...good."
"Yea I did it purposely."
"You did? Are you nuts?!?!?"
"Well..." She looks down. "I knew that it was dangerous. Especially that I was in my gundam. Just think! I could cause 10x more damage in a gundam than on foot."
"Yeah it was!! You could have killed Chibodee and the whole crowd! You could have destroyed half of the city!!! You are nuts!!" Her face is red.
"But I was hoping on being able to control her."
"Then if you didn't?? You would be killed!!!"
"I know that okay! It was a risk that I had to take in order to take this big step in my training and to win the match!"
"I couldn't have lived with that!!"
"I'm sorry Lee, but my life is little importance to me now. I mean... nevermind. do you mind getting out for a minute so I can change!!" She attempts to change the subject. He jumps out of the cockpit and walks over to his gundam and gets in the cockpit and flies off. Kat changes and jumps down a gush of wind coming by blowing her hair across her face. She got into her corelander and sat there listening to the radio until Lee comes pulling up in the corelander.
"Hey where'd you go?"
"Why do you care.if your life is of little importance why should mine be? I went back to the hangar...my gundam is going to be under maintenance today..."
"Hey that's not what I meant by that."
"Sure...I still don't understand that..."
"I meant that someone is more important than my life.." Another breeze blew by and there was silence between the two until Lee broke in.
"No one is more important than life."
"You don't understand. I don't think you ever will."
"OH WELL...hey.what ever happened to your crew member...I think it was Chase...I thought he said he was gonna come here too.you know when we went to your country." She acts like she is ignoring him.
"Well he is coming soon." she says with a tone of irritation.
"Well...if you are going to hate me now...I'll go..." He walks down the sidewalk.
"Fine then!!" Kat falls asleep and Lee sneaks back over to her. He honks the horn. She jumps up.
"What are you doing?"
"I wanted to tell you something." She sighs.
"What is it?"
"I was just gonna tell ya what ya do with your life is your decision.but I still think nothing is more important than your own life... that's all...see ya around." He begins to walk off. She smirks.
"Well. That idea is a bit selfish don't you think?" He turns around.
"No."
"What if you were in a situation where either you or someone else was going to die, you wouldn't give up your life for the other person?"
"That situation is different.but just out normally.ya don't go killing yourself for other people." She rubs her forehead.
"I take back what I said now, you'll never understand and I've given up. See ya around." She starts her corelander.
"I have been told that before...there are a lot of things I don't understand...oh well.I'm just stupid...why ya leaving?"
"Because it's pointless to stay and try to explain love to you!!" She exclaims and she drives off...a single tear shimmers into the air. She drives quickly back to her condo. "He won't understand even if I told him plainly that I..." She starts to sob. Lee goes to an arcade starts to play Whack-a-Mole. The game starts speeding up and smoking. Suddenly he smashes through the game.
"Um...oops..." He drops the whacker. A guy runs up.
"What did you do?!? You killed it!!!" The man yells.
"Hey take it easy!" He writes on a piece of paper and gives it to him. "Just take this to the government building, they will pay for the machine." The man walks off. Lee walks out of the arcade. "Ok where can I go where I haven't done anything? Uhh.can't go to that restaurant...can't go see Kat...uhh.can't go back to the arcade...I can go to the movies...oh wait there was that one time with the popcorn machine...crap!! I guess I'll go home. I remember that popcorn machine...wouldn't give me butter...stinking machine...I guess it won't deny me butter again? Which I remember what the psychiatrist told me...not all popcorn machines shall deny me butter...the aren't out to get me...I think I might stop by to check on Kat." He finally arrives at Kat's condo mumbling about popcorn machines the whole way there. He walks up to the door and knocks. She stopped crying.
"Who is it??"
"It's Lee." She sniffles.
"What is it?"
"Are you ok?"
"No!!!"
"What's wrong? I'm sorry I was mad before."
"I'm only just lying on the floor crying and complaining about my pathetic life!"
"You life isn't pathetic.it's better than mine!"
"I'm not mad at you for being mad. I'm mad at myself for being stupid enough to fall in love with you!!" She starts crying again.
"What?" he was surprised.
"You heard me!!"
"Yeah I did but that can't be right.me?"
