Chapter 7 Holly
A.K.A - The long way home.
I don't want to take these insubordinates in! They're immature AND lack knowledge...why me? I don't even know WHY he chose these four. I'm Holly, bu the way. I'm assistant to Professor Kenshi. I don't really like the guy, but it's good pay, and I get to pilot Eva unit 03, so all is well.
"Holly here will be taking you to Meyo immediately and place you in Tokyo. You won't need to worry about the language barrier, because all of Meyo speaks English fluently." The professor explained to the four.
"All four of them won't fit in my ship." I said to him. My ship can only fit me and one other...on a good day. "I can only take one with me, you'll have to take the rest."
"Alright then. Holly will take Christian and the others will come with me." I guess Christian struck me as the 'shy guy' figure, since he didn't look too happy being separated from his little 'circle of friends.'
"Come on kid, hop in." I said to him.
"Aren't you the same age as me?" he said as if he was offended by me calling him 'kid.' I didn't mean to offend him, but I guess it just kinda came out that way.
"No, I'm a year older than you AND I outrank you, so I can call you whatever the hell I want."
"And what rank might you be?" He said to me. He seemed to be getting agitated with me. This was gonna be fun...not.
"I'm a lieutenant." I told him. "And I want you to know that when you are officially instated, you will be under my guardianship, so I demand some respect."
"Yes, ma'am." He said with his teeth a little bit clinched. I could tell he was gonna dread the long trip to Meyo.
It was almost an hour before either of us said anything. I decided to bring up his 'love life.'
"So...what's up with you and that one girl, I think Dani's her name?"
"Heh, wouldn't you like to know." He said in a defiant tone. I could tell he was uncomfortable talking about her by his body language; crossin' his arms and looking away. I guess behavioral science classes'll do that to ya.
"Yeah. I wanna know if I haveta keep you two separated at night!" I said playfully and playfully punched his arm. But I still couldn't crack him. It was probably another five minutes before he said anything.
"Well...I guess I kinda like her. I haven't known her for very long." He said, starting to open up to me. Finally, I cracked that egg!
"Why don't you do anything about it?"
"I don't know if she likes me, though." He said. "I don't want to make a fool of myself, ya know what I'm sayin'?"
"Yeah." I said, then to myself, "More than you'll ever know."
"What?" He said.
"...Nothing...nothing." I replied.
It would be another hour or so before we arrived in Meyo. We docked in station 4, and Kenshi docked in station 7, on the opposite end of the docking station. Our next order of business was to meet with Professor Kenshi and get these kids registered with the Planetary Military...
