At dinner...
"Please pass the salad..." Quatre said. These past few days were uneventful. Oz and the Earth Sphere alliance have not done much fighting. Quite odd.
"So, Lauren and I wanted to know what else needed to be learned," I stammered.
"There is nothing to learn, but much to leave behind," Wufei stated. He looked up at Lauren as if she understood.
"All you have to know is that at anytime you could die. The same goes for those who you care deeply for," Duo remarked. Lauren and I exchanged glances. This coming from the most childish of the bunch. I thought about it for a minute. How come they knew we weren't ready? The only thing that came across my head was how we acted towards everyone.
"Your other brother, Marth, we heard you talking about him. Wasn't he the one that joined the Earth Sphere and died in the bloodiest battle of this war?" Trowa asked. I looked at him in awe. No wonder why he came in the kitchen. He came to hear our conversation more. Marth was my beloved half-brother. Born of a great leader of the alliance, he always wanted to fight.
"It's just like Relena..." Heero said. I assumed that he was saying that's why Relena decided to stay pacifistic during this war. She had too many feelings towards everyone. The only thing she had that I didn't was the ability to die for others. I didn't have a heart in me.
"Let's make dinner short. We need to be on guard in case of surprise attacks. There haven't been many recently," Quatre said knowingly. In fact we would have needed to be on guard sooner because Oz just took a surprise attack on the airship. The buzzer rang off telling us of enemies.
Everyone headed towards the loading area and hopped in their gundams.
"Lauren, you and your sister try to guard the ship as much as possible. We are going to try to get at the main source of this battle. Stay put and only fight if you have to," Quatre stated. We watched as the gundams flew from one suit, destroying it, then to another. It was like a ballet of some sort. Lauren and I circled the ship making sure no one came in contact with it.
