Chapter Eight
New Family
---
Things had beginning to improve for the Knights Sabres these past few days, since the arrival of Mackie Stingray back into Mega Tokyo. The past day he had been busy working on creating new hardsuits for Raven, Sylia, May and Videl. At the present moment, Videl was in the middle of testing the basic frame of her new hardsuit. Then suddenly something happened.
"Damn the Os crashed again" Videl shouted to herself as the power left her suit, leaving her in pitch blackness. With all her strength she was forced to fight the hydraulics in her hardsuit in order to raise her hand to realise the hardsuits helmet. Then suddenly from an outside source the helmet release clicked open and Videl soon saw that Nene was holding the helmet in her grasps.
"don't worry Videl, I get you out" she said as she set down the helmet down on a work station and began to help Videl out of the frozen hardsuit, Videl soon noticed that she and Nene where the only people in the room, now minus one.
"Where the heck did Mackie go?" was Videl response as Nene began flicking and pulling switches to open up the main body of the suit.
"Why?"
"Because I want to rip his head off, this hardsuit has more problems then a rubrics cube" she snorted as she wiggled free, out of the hardsuit. Her remark brought a smile and a laugh from Nene as she heard it.
"He was brainstorming while you where booting up and then he suddenly yelled something in German, which I didn't quite catch and he ran out of the room dancing and prancing" After Nene finished both of them bursts out laughing, and they couldn't stop.
After they had finished completing the tests in the malfunctioning hardsuit, Nene and Videl retired to the rest room at the back of the Pit, where Nene set about making herself a hot cup of coffee.
"So how are things going?" Nene asked after switching on the kettle and letting it boil.
"What things" was Videl response as she crashed out on the worn out couch in the room.
"Life, I mean aren't you looking for a place of your own, you're not going to crash on Priss and Leon sofa forever" Nene said as she selected her favourite brand of coffee from the cupboard. Videl was silent for a while as she thought of her response.
"I have a place of my own, it not really much" she paused "More in fact it's a dump, this sofa a better sleep then the thing I was calling a bed"
"So you can get on a rung on the ladder ehh?"
"So true, especially since I was being hunted. I was hoping that the job interview that I was attending would let me at lest have a decent life" Then Videl sat back up and faced Nene "But life can deal you some mean cards"
"Maybe I can help you" Nene replied.
"Hun?" Videl muttered not quite catching Nene meaning.
"O I just got a spare bedroom. It not much but it got a bed and being the chief of the AD Police I'm sure I can help you get a job somewhere" Nene answered Videl. The look that Nene saw on Videl, made her happy.
"Really" Videl face full of surprise.
"Sure I can't heave my successor living like this can I?" Nene responded as she finished mixing her coffee.
"O O when can I move it?" Videl asked like an over excited child, Nene who was her shipping her hot coffee looked up and giggled.
"How about tonight, once we finished here we're head out and get some new bed linen and other stuff that you're need".
"Okay" Videl almost hyperventilating at the news of having a decent room.
"Now what has happen to our resident genius" Nene remarked as she sat down her coffee mug and began to look for Mackie.
"The Sooner I help you get a job the better" Nene said while looking over the top of the bags she were carrying. Meanwhile Videl was carrying about the same amount of bags, turned and said.
"Sorry it just all the good cloths I had, where the ones on my back, and what little cloths I did have weren't much" she explained as she looked down into the bags which contain everything from underwear, casual cloths and even a business suit that Videl hoped would help her get a job.
Don't worry; I actually kind of like this" Nene answered back "I now know what it was like for Priss and Linna, looking after kids of their own"
"Hun?" a look of puzzlement on Vidal's face.
"Sorry" Nene face a deep red "But I always wanted a family, but with what happened it just to late now"
"It can't be"
"Well to me it is, I got a career that won't allow for it" Nene answered back.
"What if I call you Okaa-san? Would that please you" Videl spoke out turning to look at Nene, who face lit up.
"That all right with me Ko Musume" Nene replied this time giving Videl a very red cherry face.
