Hi there, everyone!  To all the readers who like to read this story, I must say… that you like things that are somewhat different.  I mean, Sakaya isn't exactly your average teenage girl, you know.  Well, let's think about what's happened in the story so far, shall we?  Hmm… well, she moved in with Quatre in chapter 1, spilled coffee on Duo in chapter 2, fought Wufei over a bag of candy in chapter 3, and she met Heero and almost confessed a forbidden memory to Quatre in chapter 4.  Wow… a lot has happened already.  Isn't this little story moving a bit fast?  Yeah, well, that's how my ideas come out.  And once again, if the chapter seems a bit awkward, then blame the music I'm listening to: The Calling: Camino Palmero.

I do not own any GW characters, but I do own little Sakaya… okay, so she isn't so little… I'll shut up now and let you read the actual story, 'kay?  Okay then… well, goodbye!

Chapter 5: Trowa Barton and the Phone Call

            I was so relieved to be back in my bed that night.  Still… somehow, I felt as if Quatre and the others were keeping something from me.  And what was with all this added protection anyway?  They had placed a guard outside my door, just in case I decided to leave again I bet.  I sighed as I thought about the possibility of me being that stupid.  A million to one!  But I had to trust their judgment, even if I hated it.

            Looking out the window, I realized that I had become trapped in my own room.  Outside there was freedom, and also… Uncle.  No.  NO!!!  Think about the positives!  Stupid girl!!!!!!!  Stop being so depressed!!!!!  You are living in house with four cute guys, and all you can think about is that?  How pathetic!

            I can't believe how crazy I am!  Why am I always having arguments with myself?!  Because you're a stupid, stupid girl, that's why!!!!  No wait, no I'm not!!!!  If I were, then would the others even want to talk to me?  I think not!  Well, duh!!!!!  You just make them feel better about themselves!!!!!!  No, I don't!  Yes you do!!  No!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Sakaya?"  Quatre was right outside my door.  Was I yelling out loud again?  "Sakaya, are you awake?"

            Hold on!!!  Maybe… he has fallen for me!!!!!  And we get to sleep together!!!!  Don't get your hopes up, girl!!!!!  You're just askin' for trouble, and you know it!!!!!  There's no way he would do something like that, even for you!  So, just shut your mouth up and answer him!  Why do I even bother to listen to myself?  Because I'm the smart one, you stupid girl!  Ouch!  "Yes, I'm awake.  Is there a p-problem?"

"You have a phone call.  It's your mother."

"My Mother?!"

            I ran out of the room, and down the stairs to the phone.  I took a deep breath as I picked it up and said, "Hello?"

"Hello, Sakaya.  I was worried when you never called me, but it seems that you're safe."

"Yes, Mother.  I am safe here."

"Well then… please stay there.  At least until I get another job.  I was laid off today and I… I just wanted to tell you."

"Oh no!  Are you going to be able to make the payments in time?"

"Yes, dear.  Don't worry about that, okay?"

"But… Mother…"  I couldn't believe it.  Mother had no job, which meant no money.  Was she really alright?  "I'll come home… and get a job."

"No, dear!  It's safer for you in space!"

"But I--"

"No!"

            I frowned.  What else could I do except…  "I'll get a job here in space then, okay, Mom?"

"…  Well, okay…  Just don't overdue it, okay?"

"Yeah…  Bye… Mom."

"Good bye, dear Sakaya."

            I hung up the phone and walked back to my room, passing a confused Duo on the way up.  "You okay?" he asked me.

"Sure I am!" I said, regaining my natural personality.  "I guess I'm just tired because of all the eagle fighting in the dining room!!!!!"  Of course you're gonna look at me strangely again… like always.  I am a crazy girl after all.

*************

            The next morning caught me by surprise really.  I got up and stretched and got dressed, and finally headed downstairs.  When I walked into the kitchen, that's when I noticed him.  A new guy, with brown hair.  Most of it was covering one of his eyes, though, which I could were green.  He was just as cute as Quatre, and as quiet as Heero.  I couldn't help but blurt out, "A new guy to tempt into burying the remains of the Megoabyby society!!!!"  Agh!

            He just stared at me for a minute.  I could feel my cheeks reddening as I looked back.  It stayed like that for a moment longer, neither of us really knowing what to say… him especially since he just met a crazy girl like me.  I was about to run away, but he surprised me by saying, "I was wondering when you might get up."

"Huh?"

"It's 10:30 in the morning now."

"So what?  I can sleep in if I want to after being unjustly accused of being stigmatized, thank you very much!……….  Okay, that didn't come out right."

"Don't worry.  I understood."

"R-really?!!!"

            Wow!  So he really is an understanding person after all then, ain't he?  Of course I had smile after that.  It was difficult to stay mad at any of them really…  Especially Quatre.  Hmm… I wonder what he's doing now?  Oh yeah, that's right!  I gotta get a job tomorrow!

            Well, what could I do?  Hmm…  A good job for me…  How 'bout…  No, that wouldn't work.  Huh.  Maybe…  No, I'm not that kind of girl!  Besides, Mother would kill me if she ever found out, and I really don't wanna face the guys with a job like that, if you can really call it a job, that is.  Okay then, it's settled!  Tomorrow I will get a job as… I don't know yet!

            Oh, what am I going to do?  What a dilemma I have here.  (Sigh)  Maybe if I just ask one of the guys to go job-hunting with me, then I can find a good job.  I know, how 'bout Quatre and Duo?  They're not going to be busy tomorrow!

            Okay then, it's settled!  Hahahaha!  I will be successful!!!!!!!!!!!  Yahooooo!!!!!!!!!!!… Okay, enough of that now.

Well, there you have it.  Chapter 5 is done now.  Good night!
