A/N: ^^;; I completely forgot about this story, lol. I read it today and thought, "hmm… this sounds familiar, why hasn't the author updated?" Once I realized this was MY fic, I immediately wrote this chapter ^^;; whoops. And to anyone who has read Mihy's story about Ria, yes, I have changed things a bit, like her age, etc, etc to make it fit in with my events :P
Jade: Update me…now. -.-
MT: Jade, get back in your own fic! This is Miyo's story!
Miyo: ^^;; hello everyone…
MT: ^_- anyway, don't get used to regular updates on this story, I'll work in stuff when I'm not writing new chappies to IWTCTW- which by the way has a new chapter to be uploaded within the next day or so! (Aka: whenever I get around to typing/ editing it)
Miyo: let's start now…
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So, how did you end up here?" Miyo asked, turning to her newfound friend.
Ria sighed, "I came here looking for my father. After Mother was killed, I had nowhere to go, so I came here. I can…sense that he's here…"
Realizing how much she had opened up, Ria became furious, "But it's none of your damn business! Keep your nose out of things that have nothing to do with you!"
Miyoko seemed lost in thought for a moment, "What is a father? And a mother…what does that mean?"
Ria blinked confusedly, "Everyone has a mom and dad, you know, your parents." Noticing the equally confused look on her friend's face, Ria quickly added, " 'mom and dad' are just different names for mother and father- it means the same… don't you know this?"
Miyo shifted uneasily, "Garland mentioned those words before… Father… and mother. But he wouldn't tell me what they meant; he simply told me that I don't have any, that I never had any."
Ria laughed, "Of coarse you do; the old man's lost his marbles. Like I said; everyone has- or had a mom and dad at one point. See…" She tried to find words to explain, " Ok, you wanna know what it means… well, your mom is the one who gives birth to you, and your dad… your dad is the man who loves your mom." Thinking of her own father she added, "Sometimes he can be a real jerk! He tells you to do whatever he says, yells a lot, and makes you go to your room if you do something wrong… but," she sighed, "Even if he never says it, he loves you."
Miyo thought back to her life on Terra; where she had lived until a few days ago, and remembered Garland forbidding her to enter the planet's only city; telling her to fight. He told her to do as he said, or he would discard her… (A father tells you to do what he says…) she thought.
Her mind reeled back to the day of her creation, where she first opened her eyes in the liquid filled tank, choking as she drew a breath. Garland was furious that it had taken her so long…
"Are…created and born the same thing?" she asked aloud.
"Uh, well… I guess so; yeah."
Miyo nodded with a smile on her face, "Then I do have a mother… and a father!"
A/N: Well, that's all my brain survived for, short chapters, whoot. *cheering with no enthusiasm* But Miyo, how could you be so naïve?? You think the tank is your mother and Garland is your father!?!?
Miyo: Shut up, I was only four. -.-
Jade: Not making any friends are you?
MT: Shut up Jade… and Miyo, you were filled with the knowledge of the centuries! So what if Garland forgot a few choice words, you're not naïve!
Miyo: 'knowledge of the centuries' or not, I was still only four. -.-
MT: ok, well, whatever… Reviewers, you know what to do! And any ideas would be appreciated since I forgot where I was going with this fic ^^'' I repeat NEED IDEAS @_@
