No Need for Ashley Nonaka
The blond girl was currently inside the cabin, Ayeka and Jared hadn't still waken up yet, she glared at them for a little bit, she realised she couldn't get jealous over this. 'Just because no one wants to hold me so close to them.' She repeated to herself over and over again, until the feeling disappeared.
Kyle also wandered into the room, Washu in tow, they were both in the bathrobes, obviously fresh from the shower, Ashley shook her head once more.
"Hey Kyle, you'd better beware of those sexually active women, especially those mad scientists, their like rabbits." Ashley grumbled and walked out the door, with two pairs of glaring eyes watching her stroll out.
"What's eating her?" Washu asked the kind of ticked off Kyle.
"I don't know, but she better get over it before today's fight." Kyle said.
"Who are you going up against?"
"Joey Fitch, by himself."
~*~
Ashley began to think in her tree again, if their team lost today, then, the sooner she could leave where she's not wanted.
"Ashley? Are you up there?" A perky female voice spoke.
On that note, she jumped down and landed with cat like grace, she the looked at the very surprised Mihoshi.
"I was so worried about you, I haven't seen you since yesterday." Mihoshi told her.
The green eyed blond girl simply grunted in response.
"What's wrong, you don't seem like yourself today." Mihoshi observed.
"I am not wanted here." Was all Ashley explained to Mihoshi before turning on her heel, and marched off.
"But I know Tenchi and I still want you here." The blue eyed girl whispered to the retreating form, not knowing if it reached her or not.
"What's wrong with her?" Tenchi asked Mihoshi.
"I don't know, she said something about not being wanted here." Mihoshi felt tears welling up in her eyes, but she blinked a few times and held them back.
~*~
Ashley set up her Armored Core for her last battle, she had to admit to herself, she was going to miss piloting Beta, she knew Jared would find someone else who was a better pilot, and litterate.
"NOW FOR THE MOMENT YOU'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR!! TEAM MIDDLE HELL VS. JOEY FITCH!! WHO WILL BE THE VICTOR?! WHO KNOWS!!" The announcer yelled.
"Hey Ash." Kyle said over the radio, "Be careful."
"Like you care!" She quickly snapped and cut off communications with him.
Kyle was a bit shocked at that note, he cared, not as in boyfriend and girlfriend, as a best friend who was worried.
Joey quickly went at Ashley, and slashed her AC, it caught fire, and exploded.
"You! You killed her!" Kyle shouted at Joey, there were tears in his eyes as he attacked Joey, Jared was helping too.
With that, Jared slashed Joey's AC, Joey escaped just before it exploded..
"ANOTHER VICTORY FOR TEAM MIDDLE HELL!! BUT!! ONE OF THEIR TEAM MEMBERS DID NOT SURVIVE TO SEE THIS WIN!! WE'LL ALL REMEMBER ASHLEY NONAKA, SHE WAS A GREAT FIGHTER!!" The announcer yelled.
~*~
Kyle and Jared headed back to the cabin, they didn't notice Ashley's stuff was missing. Kyle's head was drooped, as well as Jared's.
"I shouldn't have said those things to her." Jared said softly.
"What'd you say?" Kyle asked.
"I told her after she slept with Ayeka, that I didn't want to see her sorry ass ever again." Jared told him.
"Well, I bet she's in heaven now, with her family, and I bet she's not mad at you J-man, I bet she's happy that we won for her." Kyle choked, he felt the tears well up in his eyes again, this time, he let them fall, "It's not fair, she was taken from us." Kyle shook with sobs.
Jared managed to contain his sorrow, "I'll miss her too Kyle, I'll miss her too."
~*~
The military base in Germany was pretty basic, bunks, training grounds and such. Joey and Ashley entered there, they were going to register Ashley again.
As they approached the place of registration, Joey stopped as well as Ashley.
"Hey Ash?"
She looked at him to show she was paying attention.
"Do you want to go by Zero again?"
She nodded mutely, and they entered.
~*~
Mihoshi had been crying with Kyle for quite some time, but, she then dried her eyes, sniffled a bit, then began to serch around for something of Ashley's.
After some searching, she discovered the shirt Ashley had liked to wear, it was black and it read- Consiousness: that annoying time between naps.
The blond haired girl smiled, she removed her usual pink sweater, and put on Ashley's shirt. She smiled, it fit her nicely, Mihoshi thought it wouldn't fit her too well because Ashley was a lot shorter then her.
~*~
Zero, formerly known as Ashley Nonaka once again, began to explore what was around the base. She passed a lot of soldiers. She noticed something else, there were people teaching some people around Zero's age, they were learning to read and write. A small smile crept across her face, it was going to be different this time, she could feel it.
She looked at one of the teachers and blushed, from the looks of it, he wasn't that much older then her, about four years, or a bit more, it was a close guess. She quickly shook those thoughts of dating from her head, she was going to have to concentrate on why she was here anyway.
"Hey, Zero!" Joey shouted, jogging to catch up to her, she faced him and crossed her arms.
"Isn't this place better then last time?" Joey asked her, a large grin on his face.
The blond girl nodded.
"C'mon, I'll show you around!" Joey said, taking her hand and started to pull her along.
"Hang on!" She yelled sternly.
"What's wrong Zero?" Joey looked around at her, his eyebrows were raised.
"I'm going to check out those reading and writing lessons." She told him.
Joey shrugged, "Suit yourself." He turned on heel, and went to explore more of the camp.
Zero approached the area and leaned against the nearby building, she carefully watched that one guy teach, he was very good, he had all their attention, and he was very cute. Zero felt herself grinning, she couldn't help herself. Something about him was different, she just felt it in her gut.
The teacher looked up and noticed Zero watching, "Hey, if you want to join us, just grab a seat."
She nodded and took a seat toward the back.
He smiled at her, "Why don't you come up here and tell us your name before we continue."
The blond girl stood up and quickly walked to the front of the room. "I'm Zero." Was all she simply said.
"Zero!" A girl in the front smiled and waved, probably one of the few that survived in her regiment.
"Alright Miss Zero, since Miss Haley there seems to know you, why don't take that empty seat next to her." The teacher told her, which Zero did.
"Hey, you probably don't remember me, but, I was in your regiment back in the old days, I stood next to you when we would get in lines." Haley explained.
Zero simply nodded. She looked over the new Haley, she had changed quite a bit since she had last seen her. She wasn't that bad looking either. She stood around five foot ten, taller then most the girls, she had long straight blond hair that reached the middle of her back and was tied back in a pony tail, some of the hair fell out around her face, kind of framing it. She was currently wearing a tight blue shirt and baggy boys jeans, the kind with the big back pockets.
"Alright, continuing with the lessons." The teacher announced.
~*~
After the lessons, Haley and Zero began to explore some more of the camp.
"Hey Zero, isn't our teacher the cutest?" Haley squealed.
She nodded in response.
"And I love his hair!" Haley continued.
"Because it's like yours only brown and wavy?" Zero asked.
"That too, and it looks so soft!" Haley added, "I wonder if he's single."
"Probably, but, you never know." Zero responded.
"Zero, I have a question for you."
"Shoot."
"Have you ever had a boyfriend?" Haley asked, "Have you ever dated anyone?"
Zero shook her head.
"Have you ever had a one night stand?" Haley kept going with this, she was on a role, "Have you ever done anything with anyone else?!"
"I don't want to talk about this anymore, why don't you get to the point already!" Zero snapped.
Haley smiled slightly, "Why don't you date our teacher?"
The blond girl's eyes went wide, "Wha-wha-what?"
"Go out with him, get all lovey dovey, and get a little smoochie woochie!" Haley said as she made kissy faces at Zero, who snorted.
"I think this is such a good idea for me at the moment anyway." Zero told her softly.
"Why?" Haley asked.
"I'm still getting over leaving all my former friends back where I came from." The green eyed girl explained.
"I see." Haley closed her dark blue eyes in thought, "Then, wait until your ready to date him, I'm not going to force you." Haley opened her eyes and smiled softly at the girl.
"Thanks." Zero smiled slightly. "Listen, I'm going to go train some, I'll see you later okay?"
"Okay, see ya later." Haley responed, and on that note, Zero turned on heel and walked away.
~*~
The rest of the week dragged by for the Team, without Ash to help them, and she was supposedly dead, they didn't really want to continue on with the tournament, they finished in first, as if that wasn't expected. Then, came the long ride back to the Masaki residence.
"Hey Kyle, I've been thinking, we can't really do this by ourselves, we need to find someone else to help fight." Jared told his friend.
"But, that would be replacing Ashley so fast." Kyle said softly.
"Not to replace her, just to fill in until we're sure she's really gone."
"What if she's still alive?" Kyle asked, staring out the car window, the AC's would be sent later.
"Then, we'll take her back, what else do you think we'd do Kyle?"
"Take her back." Kyle glanced over at Jared who was driving, Kyle was sitting in front next to Jared, he looked in the back to see that most the people were unconscious in the van.
"Yeah, that's what we'll do, but, if she does come back, you better beg and grovel for her forgivness." Kyle went back to looking out the window.
"I know, I know."
~*~
"C'mon! You have to have some halfway decent clothes in there!" Haley yelled searching through Zero's bag.
"What in the world are you smoking?! What do you call what your throwing on the floor?!" Zero was getting ticked off by this search.
"If you want to impress him, you've got to wear something other then baggy stuff!"
Zero glared at her, "What's wrong with baggy stuff?"
Haley sighed, "You've got a good looking body, can't you show it off once in a while? Would it kill you to act like a girl once in a while?"
"Um, let's see, yes!"
"I'm beginning to wonder about you Zero."
"Oh, what are you wondering?" Zero put her hands in her pockets and leaned against a wall close by.
"Maybe guys aren't for you, maybe girls." Haley stated.
"Never know." Zero scratched under her chin, "But, I could like both can't I?"
"Yeah, still, you act too much like a guy though."
"What can I say, I'm proud of the weird way I am." Zero yawned a bit.
"That's it!"
Zero stared at her, "What's it?"
"I'm taking you clothes shopping!" Haley grinned.
"This won't end well." Zero groaned, "I hate shopping! It's the most annoying thing in the world!"
"It's fun though!"
"If your a normal girl."
Haley sighed, "What do I have to do to get you to get at least one outfit that's like a girl's?"
"Help me with my reading and writing." Zero said.
"Anything else?" Haley asked
"I'll tell you when I think of it."
"Fine, whatever, let's just go before you change your mind." Haley stated, grabbed Zero by her hand, and proceeded to drag her off to the closest mall.
~*~
The ride over there was long, Haley wanted to listen to rap and pop stuff, and Zero kept changing it to a classic rock station, then Haley would turn it back to the first station. After a while, Zero threatened to jump out of the car if she didn't get to listen to classic rock, Haley gave in.
"You know the day destroys the night, night divides the day, try to run, try to hide, break on through to the other side, break on through to the other side, break on through to the other side, yeah." Zero sang along to the radio, the song paused for a music break.
"Must you sing?" Haley asked.
Zero nodded as she resumed singing along, "We chased our pleasures here, dug up treasures there, but can you still recall the time we cried, break on through to the other side, break on through to the other side." There was another pause for the music break. "Everybody loves my baby, everybody loves my baby, she get high, she get high, she get high, she get high giiiiiiiiiiiiirl!" Yet another music pause. "I found an island in your arms, country in your eyes, arms are changes (AN: I don't know) eyes alive, break on through to the other side, break on through to the other side, break on through oh yeah! Made the scene week to week, day to day, hour to hour, days straight, teeth white, break on through to the other side, break on through to the other side, break on through, break on through, break on through, break on through."
"Finally, it's over." Haley groaned.
"What?! It was a good song! The Doors are a good band!" Zero argued, she started to nod her head along to Wheel in the Sky by Journey.
"How can you listen to this stuff?" Haley asked, making a left hand turn.
"It's good music, see, it all doesn't sound all the same, like today's music." Zero explained.
"But this is from the sixties or seventies, it's way passed then, why should they still play this stuff?"
"Because it's good music."
"Whatever."
~*~
After about three hours of fighting, Zero had gotten yellow t-shirt that said: I knew I was a nut the day the squirrel started looking at me funny that fit like a normal shirt, and a pair of tight jeans that had silver beads on the sides.
"Man, I'm going to feel so out of it when I wear this stuff." Zero groaned.
"Look, I'm happy that you finally got something decent to wear." Haley said getting behind the wheel, Zero got shotgun.
"Whatever."
~*~
The next day after class, she had found out what the teacher's first name was, although, it took a while of conversation because Zero was nervous. His name was Justin.
"Justin?" Zero asked him a bit later.
"Yeah?"
"I was thinking." Zero started, then stopped herself, there was a moment of silence.
"What were you thinking?" Justin questioned.
"Maybe you'd like to go see a movie with me, maybe, if you don't want to it's okay." Zero sighed that she finally got that off her chest.
"I'd like to go to the movies." He smiled at her.
"Cool, maybe this Friday?" Zero's heart was racing with excitement already.
"Sure, that works."
"I'll see you then."
~*~
It was night when Zero returned to where she was sleeping, and then cheered a really big yes.
Haley poked her head down from her bunk. "What're you so happy about?" She asked sleepily, obviously she had been taking a nap.
"I got a date friday!" Zero grinned.
"With who?" Haley's eyes were half closed, and she yawned excessivly loud.
"Justin!"
"Who?"
"Our teacher!"
"Oh. Okay." Haley then rolled over and went back to sleep.
The curly haired girl kicked off her shoes and laid down in her bed, she was going to sleep, she couldn't see how she was going to do that because she was so excited and nervous at the same time.

It was night when Zero returned to where she was sleeping, and then cheered a really big yes.
Haley poked her head down from her bunk. "What're you so happy about?" She asked sleepily, obviously she had been taking a nap.
"I got a date friday!" Zero grinned.
"With who?" Haley's eyes were half closed, and she yawned excessivly loud.
"Justin!"
"Who?"
"Our teacher!"
"Oh. Okay." Haley then rolled over and went back to sleep.
The curly haired girl kicked off her shoes and laid down in her bed, she was going to sleep, she couldn't see how she was going to do that because she was so excited and nervous at the same time.
