* * * * *
As Yukari walked over to the table she noticed her mouth was dry. Merle was telling Yukari something, but Yukari was only half listening. "Hey Merle, you guys go ahead. I'm getting some punch"
"Okay, we'll be over there. Get me some too?" Merle asked
"Sure" Yukari went over to the punch bowl and poured two glasses. She heard someone scoff and turned around just in time to see Allen gesturing towards her. He didn't see her but Lord Van did and quickly guided Allen to some people to talk. What a pretty boy! I can't believe he just scoffed at me. Why does he have such nice hair? It's so smooth and shiny, unlike it's owner She stifled a laugh and walked over to Merle and Celena.
"Yukari, can I ask you something about the Mystic Moon?" Celena asked
"Sure, just as long as you call it Earth when you talk to me. I get confused when you say Mystic Moon." Yukari answered
"Okay, well how do you get around on the My…Earth? Do you use a horse and carriage like here?"
"No. We drive cars."
"What are cars?"
"ummmmm…they have an engine, places for people to sit, a steering wheel, brakes. They drive on roads. I really don't know how to explain it." The questioning went on for quite a while until Celena was out of questions. Then the party was over and everyone went to bed.

Boom! Boom! Boom! "Yukari? You in there?" It was Merle, she was screaming for some reason.
"Huh? Who dere?" It was Two weeks after the party and Yukari had been asleep. She was still half asleep when Merle got fed up and banged open the door.
"How can you sleep at a time like this?" Merle screamed. Yukari looked past Merle and saw people in the halls running and screaming. "Get dressed and put all your belongings in your bag! NOW!" She slammed the door shut and hurried down the hall to get Celena.
Yukari then heard a mechanical whirring and looked out the window. Guymelefs were coming from the sky. "What the hell is that?" she whispered to herself. Then a red guymelef shot what looked like metal into the nearest building.
Yukari's eyes went wide. She then got dressed and got her stuff all with amazing speed, she never went so fast in her life. She was at the dresser when one of the metal spikes came through the wall from outside. "Ahhh!" It missed her by an inch. "Holy Shit!!! I'm getting out of here!"
She ran out the door and sprinted down the hall, down three flights of stairs and out the main hall's doors. She stopped someone that was running and said, "What's happening?"
"Zaibach, they attacked again" The woman then tore away and ran. Now what? She looked up and a piece of debris was falling. Straight for her head. She put her arms above her head, palms up and thought Stop! Please, please, please stop she shut her eyes in anticipation of the coming pain. Though it never came.
She slowly opened her eyes, took her arms down and stared at the debris. It was hanging in midair. "That's cool" Yukari walked out from under it. She looked to her left and a Guymelef was charging at her. She put her hands in front of her, facing the Guymelef and commanded "Stop" To her great surprise it did. Just like the debris.
She quickly made two fists with her hands. The debris burst apart and she heard twisting metal, and screams of agony and pain. "Ahhhh! I didn't mean to do it!" However the screams stopped and she could see blood coming from the head. "No, no! I'm not a killer. How did I do that?"
More guymelefs charged and she stopped them all just the same. When she had four or five stopped she simply walked away. Yukari absentmindedly clenched her fists. Again she heard the screams and she ran into the garden and didn't stop until she was deep in the forest. There she cried herself to sleep.
A/N: So she does have something useful. Deadly but useful. I've been debating whether I should bring Hitomi into the story or not. Tell me your opinion. I'm going to Boston so I can't update until next Sunday. I know most people hate school but I can't wait till it starts again. ^_^
