A break from "A Different Side"
SariaSubi: Well, now, I've written chapter one and am almost done with chapter two. This is an author's note: If you want to skip over chapters 1 and 2, you can, but they might be vital for later on. This now, like my prologue, is a flashback. In my prologue, we see Naomi Alex Atsui and her tragedy, and now she is leaving for Earth. In this flashback, we see what happens RIGHT BEFORE she left. Dada dada! And now, our feature presentation of this chapter-thingy.
**FLASHBACK**
"Flight 23004 for Earth leaving the L4 Colony Cluster in twenty-seven minutes. All passengers for this flight are expected to check in bags and board the plane."
Naomi just sat in the airport with her headphones on, trying to blast them as loud as she could. She was getting agitated for some reason, she kept on switching CDs. Linkin Park wasn't good enough, neither was Good Charlotte or sum41, and for some reason she couldn't stand Nickelback. She leaned back in the airport chair. "What's wrong with me?" she whispered to the window revealing all the shuttles.
The growl in her stomach was unbearable. Naomi just had to get some food. "Damn," she growled. "There ain't no food stops in here. Gotta go outside." She walked away from the space port, down the block and stopped. There were strange voices from down the alley. She slipped into the shadows and dropped her bag in an empty garbage can. She was going to be late, but she didn't care. Curiosity killed the cat, and she didn't care if she died at this point anymore.
"Sir!" she heard a firm response, "nothing to report in this sector, sir!"
"Very good," a smug voice came that immediately irked her, "you two soldiers carry on then. Alarm me if you see anything. Carry on, then!"
"Yes sir!" the two soldiers responded. Naomi saw the man walk away, but, furrowing her brow, she turned back to the soldiers. Why would they be here? What in heaven's name did they want? To take over the colony?
"Boy," the Oz cadet dropped his gun, "I can't believe this! More reports about Gundam attacks. For heaven's sake, this has been a problem since last December! And now it's AC 195, and I hated the bitter January on Earth. I guess I should be lucky I'm up here, huh Sam?"
"Yeah, but those Gundam pilots have become quite a menace. I've heard that Treize hasta put out that new MS he's designing. The Gemini, they call it. He needs mechanics for it, though."
"Say, have you heard about that mechanic company that lost that mechanic. And the little girl that survived?" Naomi let out a snort that she tried to mute. Little girl. She was NOT a little girl.
"Uh-huh. I heard the general say that they could've used that mechanic that died. I wonder who killed'im."
"Ya know, people are blaming OZ for it!"
"I know!"
"Jeez, everything is our fault these days."
The other officer looked around. "We should get back to work, Jeff."
"Right. I'll give you the report on my side in an hour."
"Roger!"
The two soldiers marched in different directions, leaving Naomi in the darkness. She turned back into the alley and slumped down to sit. "So," she thought aloud in a quiet voice, "Oz needs a new MS, huh? They would've used Julius, which means I would have come along." She winced as memories came flowing back. "Ungh, Julius." She started to shake as she sobbed. "Why did you die? I need you. You were my only friend. I miss you, Julius." She stopped and looked up the narrow way to the sky and realized she had to leave, NOW. But she lingered a moment longer. "Wait a moment, I get it. I can replace him, and, just maybe..." She thought of how much she hated OZ. A thought leapt into her mind. "That's it!" she jumped up. Naomi jumped up in jubilation, grabbed her bag, and ran as fast as any NFL linebacker to the space port.

She got there just in time, and in the shuttle, she put on her loud rock music as a treat for her great idea.
