Disclaimer: I don't own G-Gundam and I never will! Also I don't own Aretha Franklin's Respect, which is in this chapter. I'd also like to add that we really are doing that song in our show choir! Wow I'm on a roll 2 chapters in one day! Yay me! I still need to edit and add a bit to chapter four but it should be up relatively soon! Also please review!

Chapter 3
Teaching Miss Maria Louis to dance
Saria's POV
1 Week Later (after chapter 2)
I Guess he isn't too fond of his nickname, otherwise I probably wouldn't be scrubbing Gundam Rose spotless. I shrugged, oh well cleaning helps me clean my mind.
"Excuse me, are you the new mechanic?" A young blonde haired girl asked. Oh great so this is the little blonde "thing" I have to get by? Great. I sighed, and put on a smile.
"Yes, how can I help you?" I asked
"Well I just wanted to invite you to the dance this Friday at the palace." She said
'What kinda dance?" I asked
"A ball of course!" She exclaimed with joy
"Princess do you know how to dance?" I asked jumping from Gundam Rose to land beside her.
"Why of course, I especially love the waltz." She replied with a smile.
"How bout I show you how we dance… in America." I answered and grabbed a remote from my pocket.
"What do you want to see first? Hip hop, club, break, pop, Broadway, jazz, tap?" I asked
George's POV
Well I've survived a week with her, that's a good sign. I sat at a table sipping tea with Raymond and with Saria's dog lying at my feet. Surprisingly I enjoyed this dog's company, and I was beginning to understand why Saria liked him so much. He was loyal, energetic and gentle unlike his owner sometimes is.
"Raymond, will you find Miss Saria a dress for this Friday?" I asked
"Of course George, why are you so worried about this Friday?" he replied
"Well the shuffle alliance will be starting to come on Friday, and they will be staying for a while. I'm not sure if it's a smart idea letting Saria meet some of them especially that American Chibodee!" I explained. I could already see it. Putting those too together would mean much more than trouble it would be a total disaster.
"Don't worry George I'll make sure everything goes just as planned, even if it means keeping her away from the rest of the Shuffle Alliance." Raymond reassured me.
"Thank you Raymond."
"What is that horrid noise?" I suddenly cried standing up.
"Oh no… SARIA!" I exclaimed running to the repair bay.
Saria's POV
The princess was amazed at the way I moved. I guess she really hadn't seen anything like this. Wow that's really devastating.
"Wow the way you dance! It's so different, so free!" She exclaimed
"It's easy just move with the beat, and don't feel restricted." I encouraged as she tried. She didn't look half bad.
"Wow, you're a natural!" I said
'Hey want to see what I did one year in my school's show choir one year?" I asked
She nodded eagerly as I changed the track to a non vocal track of Aretha Franklin's "Respect".
"What you want, baby I got.
What you need, you know I got.
All I'm askin' is for a little respect when you get home.
Yeah baby, when you get home.
I ain't gonna do you wrong, while you gone.
I ain't gonna do you wrong, cause I don't wanna.
All I'm askin' is for a little respect when you get home.
Yeah baby, when you get home.
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take out T-C-P
Respect, yeah baby, a little respect
I'm out to give you, all my money
But all I'm askin', in return honey.
Is to give me my proper respect when you get home
Yeah baby, when you get home
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Find out what it means to me
R-E-S-P-E-C-T
Take out T-C-P
Oh, a little respect
Oh a little respect
Oh, a little respect
Oh a little respect
R-E-S-P-E-C-T"
I sang, this was one of my favorite songs that we had done as well as the dance with the crimp walks and other moves the just gave you the sort of attitude you needed for the song.
"Saria! Miss Maria Louis! What are you doing?" George exclaimed
"We're dancing." I said with a smile.
George's POV
What was she doing! Oh my gosh I want to kill Saria Carlton right now! She's even dragged poor Miss Maria Louis into this!
"Saria!!! I can't believe you! Get to your room before the king and queen hear of your loathsome nonsense!" I ordered. She hadn't even finished her work on the Gundam Rose yet! What was I to do with her! For once she actually listened to me and went to her room without a word. I could've sworn I had seen tears in her eyes as she ran off.
"George! You should apologize to her! She was only showing me how they danced back in America where she used to live, and some dances from musicals and show choirs she belonged to! She did nothing wrong! Please apologize to her George." Maria Louis pleaded of me.
Saria's POV
I did as he said and swore that I wouldn't let him see me cry. I had to call Joey, I wanted to leave now. I didn't care about the stupid job anymore, it meant nothing to me in the first place. As I entered the room I sat on the bed and dialed the number for home.
"Hello?"
"Hi Aunt Carmella is Joey there?"
"Sure honey, he's right here."
"Thanks."
"Joey!" I cried. I wish I could just hug him, to feel the warmth of him holding me in his arms, but I couldn't we were thousands of miles apart.
"What's wrong Saria? Did that guy hurt you or something? I'll come over there if you want." He suggested
"All he does is yell at me and I never get to do anything on my own anymore." I cried
"Tell me what happened?"
"Well the princess and I were conversing and she had asked me to show her how we danced, you know in America. So I showed her, it wasn't anything provocative just dancing. And then he came and yelled at me with such anger that it hurt me. He made me feel like I did something wrong Joey! Did I do something wrong Joey? Did I?" I explained
"No you did nothing wrong."
"Joey I want to come home." I said
"Ok can you wait out another week so I can arrange with Dad to come get you?" he asked
"Yeah, ok."
"Just keep your cool until then. I've got to go now. Don't forget the schematics ok?" He said
"I won't, bye Joey, I miss you." I replied
"I miss you too. Bye Saria." And we both hung up. I sat and cried into my pillow not caring who entered my room or who saw me anymore, all I wanted to do was cry.
George's POV
I actually thought about what Miss Maria Louis said as I climbed the stairs to Saria's room. I guess I was a little hard on her but still she deserved it nonetheless and she's a tough girl she wasn't hurt by it. As I turned the corner to her room I found I was wrong and that I had hurt her. She was lying on her bed crying into her pillow, obviously not caring who saw her. I quietly knocked on the door.
"Saria?" I said quietly.
"Go Away George!" She cried
"Saria I'm here to apologize to you." I said
"Why bother, I'm only a worthless mechanic to you!" She replied I guess I really had hurt her.
"Saria I don't care if you're listening or not I just want you to know that I'm sorry about yelling at you early. I honestly had thought that you were trying to cause trouble within the palace grounds to get attention drawn to yourself but after talking with Miss Maria Louis I have realized my mistake and I want to apologize for hurting you if I did." I explained
"No it was my fault, I deserved it. I'm going to go work on Gundam Rose now." She said and left me alone in her room. I wasn't sure what to make of her reaction. Was it her way of saying I don't believe you or did she truly believe that she was wrong. The one thing that was for certain was that she wanted to be left alone and I guess I had to respect that.
So how did you like this chapter? A little different feel than the others. Please review!
