A month passed without any major incidents. Trio and the others attended
school as usual.
Daemon and Trey joined the football team. Alex joined the journalism staff. Shinna joined the debate club and Trio didn't join any extra curricular club at all. The others had questioned her numerous times as to why she didn't join an extra curricular sport or club. She replied that she didn't have time, and that the teams would not benefit her. Daemon had argued that it would teach her how to work as an equal team player, considering she was part of the G-Alloid team. She only rolled her eyes and said she would do just fine without.
The real reason she left her afternoons free was because of Shiro. Their love had only grown since that eventful night he bought her the sapphire tear necklace. They would meet every other day at the ice cream shop and one would pay one day, one would pay the next. Shiro never brought his dad to their 'date' again and Trio for one was glad. 'Love with another person should not have a parent in the middle,' she once thought.
The other days of the week, she was studying in the library at Jerome's mansion. She was learning computer parts and repair and the art of flying especially bats and birds. She studied very hard to help her to understand the machine part of her.
Shinna slowly came to accept Shiro as a friend. All three students would laugh at silly comments in health and they would always be on the same teams in the PE part of the class. Trio was able to sleep easier knowing that her friend was making an effort to make her happy.
One day in that month, Shiro had brought roses for Trio, and in turn he gave Shinna a rose as well. That was the day Shinna started to accept Shiro as a friend.
It was the second week of October, more accurately October 15, that all of their lives were forever altered. The event Daemon had promised Trio over a month before was set in motion. It was a day Trio would revere and loathe for the rest of her life.
This Wednesday started out like any other Wednesday. All of the G-Alloids went to school and made it through the school day without any problems. But while the day went without a problem, Shinna got a call from home. Sally had an accident and was in the hospital. Wufei didn't tell her what went wrong, but he hinted at Sally being up a ways.
So Shinna waited until after school and then she sat underneath a tree, a good distance from the school. The tree actually was in a small forest about ΒΌ mile from the school. Shinna went this far to cry. This accident had finally pushed her over the edge. She cried harder than she had ever cried, letting out her frustration, fear and any other emotion she could dream of.
It was dark even though it was only 5:00 p.m. Shinna had stopped crying, but she was now doing her homework by the flashlight she always carried in her backpack. She had called Wufei to let him know she was doing her homework, but she didn't tell him where.
Shinna was about to leave, finally deciding she was hungry enough to go home, when Trio arrived. Trio had been looking everywhere for her and had finally found her by the flashlight. They didn't speak for a moment.
"Why are you still here?" Trio asked.
"I'd like to ask you the same question."
"I was doing extra credit in the library."
"What?"
"They had a poetry slam, and as much as I don't like poetry, I went for the extra credit. Then I stayed for a little to watch Shiro's basketball practice. So why are you here?"
"Wufei called and said Sally's in the hospital. She fell."
"Oh."
"Can we talk? We haven't talked very much, not girl to girl anyway."
"Sure," Trio sat down.
"Can we call each other by our real names?"
"Why not? No one's around."
"Okay, thanks."
"Shinna, why were you all alone?"
"I let out a lot of emotions. Crying is for the weak. I don't want to be seen as weak."
Trio chuckled. "You sound like Wufei when you say that. Crying isn't for the weak. It's for the whole human race. That's how your body lets out its frustration and stress, is by crying. It's perfectly normal to cry when you're sad."
"You sure?"
"Positive," Trio said with a nod.
"Trio, what's it like to be in love?" The girls heard the bushes nearby rustle and they stood up to take a look. They didn't see anything, but they both got a feeling someone was nearby. Shinna motioned for her to be quiet. They waited for a few minutes until both girls were sure no one was near.
"No one except the Gundam pilots can hold still for that long." Shinna said, as it to comfort Trio when it was really Shinna who needed to be sure.
"Phew," Shiro whispered after the girls started talking again. "That was too close. I know I shouldn't be spying, but I need to find out what's been bugging these two."
"This pressure is getting to me," he could hear Shinna say. "I can't take much more of this. Running and hiding my whole life! I mean, come on, I can't live a normal life! And why can't I live like a NORMAL teenager? Because some people can't give up!"
'Running? From what?' Shiro slowly sat down on the slightly crispy leaves.
"I know, but there's not much we can do. It's run or be killed. Survival of the fittest, right?"
"NOT FOR HUMANS! We're supposed to be the 'civilized' part of the animal kingdom right? Well, then why are we being treated like we're just some game for the 'X' to toy with?!"
'X? That's my dad's organization.how do they know about it? And why does Shinna sound so familiar?'
"Look! There's nothing we can do right now! All we can do is lie low until they give up or find us."
"Trio, aren't you getting tired of running too?"
'Trio, Trio, why does that name sound familiar too?' Realization hit the young man like a semi truck.
Shiro gasped so loud that this time Trio and Shinna heard where it came from and leapt up. The rustle was followed by a couple of loud gasps, like someone was trying to get a breath and the two girls pinpointed the sound. To Trio's utmost surprise, they stumbled upon a shaken up Shiro.
