(Listening to Paul McCartney: Back in the U.S.)
Chapter 10: Going Home
I walked down the stairs this morning, with determination in my heart. "Rashid," I said to the large man, "could you please call a taxi for me?"
"Yes, my lady."
"Thank you." I walked into the meeting room and found Quatre and the others. (band on the run!) "Guys," I greeted them.
"What's up, Sakaya?" asked Duo.
"I'm… leaving. I'm going home, back on Earth."
"WHAT?!" everyone questioned.
I kept my face looking serious. I didn't want to show them the heartache I knew I felt. "I am too dangerous to remain here. I am sorry."
"You're really sure about this?" Trowa asked me.
"Yes, I am. I can't afford to stay here any longer. I am sorry."
"Well…"
Everyone looked to Heero. He still remained silent, probably his way of telling me to just get the heck out of here. "So… I guess this good bye then, huh, guys?"
I gave them one last smile, the best one I could give, and left the Winner Mansion without looking back. My destiny was not to kill my first, and probably last, friends ever. I decided that I would go back home, and try to live my life back on Earth.

The sun was shining and the insects, of course, were buzzing around my head. I sat with my adopted cousin and watched as her fionce tried to put up a pool in their backyard. "So, Sakaya," she asked, "you really met those five?"
"Yes, I did. They were very nice. Wait a second, you know them?"
"Of course I do." Then turning to her fionce, she shouted, "What the heck are you doing, Milliardo?"
"What is it this time, Lucrezia?"
I smiled as the couple had yet another argument. Lucrezia Noin, my one and only cousin. She was a soldier during the war, and was even friends with the gundam pilots. "So, how do you know those guys anyway?" I managed to ask her.
"Oh… they're the gundam pilots."
"WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!! I'VE KNOWN THEM THIS LONG, AND I NEVER KNEW THAT THEY WERE GUNDAM PILOTS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I DON'T BELIEVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! THEY'RE THE GUNDAM PILOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS SO… UNEXPECTED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I BEFRIENDED THE GUNDAM PILOTS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Calm down, Sakaya. It's okay."
"NO, IT'S NOT OKAY, LUCREZIA!!!!!!!!!!! I FELL IN LOVE WITH A GUNDAM PILOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MOM'S GONNA KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Wait, hold on! You fell in love with one of them?"
Crap! Did I really say that out loud? But… I didn't even know myself! Oh no!!!! I'm falling in love with guys and I don't even know!!!!!!! What is my subconscious up to now?!!!!!!!! I don't believe this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No way!!!!!
Then I thought about it and realized that it was true! I couldn't believe I didn't see it before! Of course I loved him. How could I not love him?
"Maybe I made a mistake. Could you two take me back to outer space?"
"Sure, why not? It will be a great reunion, right, Milliardo?"
"Yes, of course."
I looked toward the sky. "Don't worry, my love. I'm coming back. Now I know… where my penguins and I really belong. Hey! My penguins!!!! I gotta go check on them!"

Hey Jude! Nananananananananana hey Jude!
Sorry! I'm listening to Hey Jude right now. It's one of my favorites.
Well, hope you liked it. I'll try to get the penguins in there in the next chapter; if not, then sorry. Like I said, music affects my writing.
