Chapter 16: The Moment I Saw You Cry

Scott was right. Now that she had come back to herself, she was happier among the cyborgs. Before, she feared them, hated them. She had been confused last time. Not that she wasn't confused anymore, but she had been more confused. Now she felt more…belonging. It was much easier for the others to become friends with her now that she spoke and reacted to their comments. However, 002 did seem to hold some sort of grudge against her and 0016 did still have a sort of grudge against him and 004. She watched 002 and 009 talk about some mission that 009 had been sent to take care of. Suddenly, 0016 jumped as a cold hand was placed on her shoulder. Of course it was cold. It was metal. The metal hand that had almost killed her and belonged to the one man 0016 didn't want to talk to. 004. She looked up at him, her fear and anger seeping into her eyes for only a moment. Then, like mist, it swept away. She put on a half smile for the older man. He took the seat beside her, looking only momentarily at the two others who were still talking. Then, he looked back at her.

"I think we should talk." He said. 0016 felt her fists tighten. She looked at the two men and then back at him.

"Fine. But not here. Outside." She said. He nodded and before she could rise he had taken her hand and started to lead her out of the room. They walked down the hall until they reached the hatch and walked out into the shining light of day. Once the door was close, 004 let go of her and turned to speak with her but she cut his words short.

"It's about what I said, isn't it? What I said back at my house." She said. 004 nodded, looking a little flustered but still calm.

"I don't want you to think I hate you." He said. Yeah right. Then why did you try to kill me? Her thoughts must have shown in her eyes because he quickly explained. "I only…I only fought you because you were trying to kill us. You almost did kill us. I thought the only way I could save myself and all of the others was to kill you. You have to understand!" 004 almost cried, but his voice was still just as stern and calm. It was his eyes that let the cry be heard. The begging and pleading look in his eyes sent 0016 into a whirl of thoughts. She almost felt sorry for him, though the image of him looking at her sternly and ready to kill still shone in the depths of her mind. She pulled away slightly.

"Fine. Whatever you say. I'm gonna go look for 003. I brought one of my old dresses for her to wear." 0016 backed away, watching 004 warily before heading back inside. 004 turned, looking out at the ocean that surrounded the Dolphin. He didn't know what was going on, but for some reason he really wanted that girl to like him. He really cared.

That night they had a party to celebrate 009's accomplishment on his mission. 0016 looked to 006 who had just delivered a wonderful dish full of Chinese delicacies.

"Is this really a good reason to have a party?" She asked 007 who stood at her side.

"What do you mean, good reason? Anything would be a good reason to have party." I wonder if they would have had a party if they had killed me…She forced herself not to think about it. She had to think happy thoughts. She wanted to be happy. It was the only thing she could do for herself these days. The food was delicious. She commented 006. She danced with 008 once and then, to his discomfort, 002. 003 and 009 danced and talked and 0016 secretly vowed to help them become a couple. She spent a lot of time talking to 005. He really was a soft gentleman inside his giant outer shell. She thought of him as being more a rather large teddy bear. By the end of the night, she had warmed up to 002. He didn't mind her company. He had a fiery attitude, but was ok in 0016's mind. Once it had gotten late, 0016 said goodnight to everyone. She was tired. The drunken 002 beckoned for her to stay, but she had to disagree. She was almost near the bedchambers when she past a cracked door. It led outside. It had caught her attention due to the moonlight that lit a line up the wall. She walked closer, and once she was right at it, about to walk out, she heard it. Crying. Someone was crying. She turned, looking through the crack around the view tower. 004 stood, leaning against the railing, looking out at the water that surrounded them. She could hear it just faintly. His shoulders shook slightly and 0016 felt the cold walls around her heart melt. She wanted to walk out there, maybe wrap him in comforting arms. However, she remembered their conversation. All the terrible thoughts that had run through her head. He just wanted to be my friend. He just wanted me to forgive him. The thought hit her and she felt her heart stir and crack. Oh please, don't let him be crying because of me! She felt her legs get weak as she watched. He had his flesh hand over his mouth to stop the sobs from sounding, but her being so close made her capable to hear. She pulled at her strength and walked away. Even though she was far from the viewing tower and the sound of 004's sobs, she could still hear him. It echoed in her head and her mind. Her soul and heart hurt.

She lay in bed, looking up at the ceiling. She couldn't sleep. All she could think about was 'him'. For some reason, she felt this strange wanting. Like she wanted to be with him. She started to imagine crazy things, like she wanted to see his face, touch his hand, and just be with him. She felt sick, but not physically like she was going to throw up. She just felt like her stomach was turning and flipping. It wasn't painful, but strange none the less. She wanted it to end and yet she felt that it was a wonderful thing at the same time. She'd have to do something about this feeling. She'd have to do something about him. She felt her cheeks burn with red as the thought hit her mind. I'm in love.

A/N: ::Eyes turn into hearts:: YEAH!!!! The time has arrived! 0016, you blind madly in love girl you! D YEAH!!
