Disclaimer: I do not own Xenosaga, and it won't change throughout the
story so I'm writing it once.
A/N: This is my first multi-chapter non-crossover story. The idea just kinda came to me, and at first I was gonna' make into a parody type fanfic, but, I thought against it, and this is what I got! I'm not gonna' ask you to go easy on me or anything, but I hope to get reviews telling me if you like it or not. I'm eager to see! ^_^ oh, and this story takes place after Ep.1 on 2nd Miltia.
"Wow, Jr. look at this!" MOMO said with a smile as she pointed to the small yellow flower growing in the cracks between the sidewalks. Jr. grinned at her.
"Yeah, you never really see those around the foundation. Natural flowers are usually on planets. Synthetic things are always 2nd best compared to the original or natural things, don't you think?" He said, not thinking about his words. MOMO looked up from the flower at gazed at him, a hurt look in her eyes.
"Do you mean that?" she asked. Jr. was about to nod, when he realized what he just said.
"Errr....What I meant to say was synthetic Flowers! Not people, Shion is right about synthetic people, they're just the same as normal people!" Jr. hastily corrected himself. MOMO looked to the ground, the flower forgotten.
"But then...why do people refer to us as realians?" she asked. The red head mentally beat the crap out of himself.
"....I'm sorry, MOMO. I wasn't thinking about what I was saying." Jr. apologized with a tinge of pleading in his voice. MOMO's sad gaze at the ground never faltered.
"....But Jr., you said it! Does that mean..you really believe that?" she softly asked. Jr. rapidly shook his head.
"No, no, no, NO! That was just me running my big mouth without thinking! I don't believe that!...Do you think we would...rescue someone who we thought of....as an object? Shion, Tony, Ziggy, KOS-MOS, Hammer, chaos..hell even Matthews, we all helped save you from Albedo, because we thought of you as a person!" he said. MOMO slowly looked up at him, her eyes shining with hope.
"...You mean it?" she asked. Jr. nodded, his face was solemn. Finally, she gave him a small smile, "Thank you, Jr.," she said. He just let out a small laugh.
"No problem, but, now what do you wanna' do?" he asked. MOMO got a thoughtful expression on her face as she thought about it.
"....Let's go back to Jin-san's!" MOMO suggested. Jr. shrugged and waved his hands around, trying to get a taxi while MOMO eyes him strangely. She gave him a curious look.
"Jr. why are you waving your hands around like that?" she asked with s small giggle. Jr. sweat dropped.
"Uhh...This is how you try and get a TAXI!!!" Jr. yelled as he saw a yellow car head towards them. The driver stopped and gave the two a skeptic glare.
"..You got money?" he gruffly asked. MOMO shook her head while Jr. checked his pockets and paled.
"....Aw shit, I don't have enough.... I spent it all on that movie.(1) " He muttered. The driver shot them a withering glare at them.
"Don't stop me if you ain't got no cash! Stupid kids..." He muttered as he drove off. Jr. scowled at the yellow car as it drove off, then gave MOMO an apologetic grin.
"Sorry, MOMO, but, I still have enough to call Shion back at Jin's to give us a ride back," He said.
"Ok, I sense the nearest payphone is that way." MOMO said as she pointed to her left. Jr. nodded and the two headed towards the pointed direction.
".....Uh huh...I promise....no shooting people got it, Allen," Jr. sarcastically said over the phone, "....Alright, thanks." He hung it up and sighed.
"Shion said she'd be here in an hour. Apparently Jin's car broke down earlier." Jr. explained. MOMO just shrugged.
"It's ok." She said as she sat down on the curb of the road. Jr. sighed and sat down as well, next to MOMO.
"...mrow." a small voice said. Jr. and MOMO turned around in surprise, to see a small white cat with brown spots behind them.
"Awwww...It's so cute! What is it, Jr.?" MOMO cooed as she picked it up and petted it.
"....a...cat." He answered. MOMO stopped adoring the cat and gave the strangely solemn Jr. a worried glance.
"...What's wrong, Jr?" she asked. Jr. just shrugged it off.
"Nothing!" he said with a fake grin. MOMO still looked at him worriedly.
"You're lying." She accused, "Please, tell me," she pleaded. Jr. looked up at the stars, and sighed.
"It's a long story." He replied.
"So? I always bother you with my stories of daddy and the demons of my past. Please, Jr. Let me help." She said. The cat hopped out of MOMO's arm and started rubbing it's head against MOMO's leg, begging for more petting.
"What? Bother me? MOMO, you've had a hard life, it's good to let it out." Jr. said, then, he sweat dropped when he realized what he said, "I really need to learn how to keep my mouth shut." He muttered to himself.
"See? Please, tell me!" Jr. scowled, but gave in.
"...Alright." he reluctantly said. MOMO grinned and picked up the cat, gently petting it again.
"...That cat...looks like the cat me and Gaignun used to take care of when we were...younger. Before the Miltian Conflict, before Albedo went insane. The three of us, Albedo, Gaignun or Nigredo, and me were best friends. We were inseparable at the time, and we lived on Miltia. Anyways, it all started when..." Jr. began.
"NIGREDO!!! C'mon! Live a little, please!!" Rubedo begged as his friend just went on reading under the shade of a giant oak tree. Nigredo shook his head.
"Nope, why don't you guys go wander around the city alone and let me read in peace?" Nigredo asked. Rubedo rolled his eyes.
"Because, it's so boring without all three of us at the city! Besides, I like reading too, but, come on! Being cooped up in this crappy yard that's outside the even crappier house/lab is so...boring and annoying!" the red head explained. Albedo scowled.
"Nuh-uh! It's much more fun without Nigredo the book worm while we're in the city! All he does is walk around doing nothing!" Albedo said.
"See? Now then, go on and leave me alone!" Nigredo growled. Rubedo shot an annoyed glare to a now grinning Albedo.
".....Ya' Sure?" he asked in a last ditch effort. The navy blue haired U.R.T.V. glared at him again, "....Fine." Rubedo sighed as he and Albedo left the yard towards the Miltia city.
"Geez, why do we have to walk everywhere?" Albedo whined as they were almost at the city. Rubedo shrugged.
"The professor to busy trying to do more experiments on the others to drive us anywhere." Albedo scowled.
"Why does he experiment on us and the others? I mean, we're just mutated clones or something like that, right?" Albedo asked. Rubedo sighed.
"Only the professor knows why he works like a madman just to 'upgrade' the others and us...for whatever reasons. I just think he wants to see how long his experiments can live before they die of old age or whatever. Anyways, got those mini-mines?" Rubedo asked with a malicious grin. Albedo smirked and reached into his pocket to pull out a small bundle of little round metal discs.
"Right here."
A/N: This will probably go through all of Jr.'s past to after Nigredo and him change their names and jr. starts looking for the Zohars..so it'll basically end right up to the point of them finding the Woglinde. Please R &R!!
I was basing 2nd Miltia's economy on Japan's. So, movie tickets are like 20 bucks each at the least, and, I doubt Jr. walks around with a lot of money everyday. I think he'd only do it if he needed to buy something REALLY expensive...like an A.G.W.S. or something.
