Orange Star: A revised history

Commanding Officer Mel

Disclaimer: I still don't own the company that made Advance Wars but I do own a copy of the game as usual.

Time: Saturday afternoon, round 5:00 pm

Place: Mel and Andy's living room

Andy had unfortunately said the wrong thing, so he was hung upside down and Mel did beat him slightly, senseless, without breaking the skin. He did know better than to physically handicap his friend before school even started. He did realize that Sonja hadn't come over lately, and he didn't bother to ask Andy what had happened when he had lunch with the girls after the 'underwear' part. He didn't really want to deal with such a pervert at a time like this. So he left Andy hanging there until dinner time.

Time: 8:00 pm

Place?

"Have you found a subject that matches our requirements yet?"

"No, sir. . ." The shrouded ones bent low and shuddered at the thought of what their dark master would do to them.

"Fools! Prepare to be decimated!" Gunshots, explosions, screams and the sound of blood splattering followed.

"Now for the few of you who did not suffer the fate of those around you, I want you to go out and look more carefully! Find the subject! But do not harm it, we need it alive. Do not return empty handed or you will suffer a fate worse than that of your fallen comrades!"

"Yes, sir. . ."

"Now be off!" The remaining slightly blood splattered men ran off into the darkness. "Fools. . . Mwahahahahahahahahaha!"

Time: 9:00 pm

Place: Sami and Sonja's

"Zzzzzzz. . ."

"Zzzzzzz. . . ow. . ."

Both girls were out cold and sprawled on the floor. However next door, similarly, Mel and Andy were sleeping. Andy in front of the TV, and Mel in his own room. Oh well. We see how they fair tomorrow.

Time: Sunday Morning

Place: Sami and Sonja's

"Owie!" Sami whined as she tried to get up out of her bed.

"Oh be quiet Sam-chan, it's bad enough my body's sore, but you don't have to make my head hurt as well!" Sonja groaned as she tried to pull herself off the ground. You see, the pain had exhausted the two to the point they both collapsed in Sami's bedroom, both girls had slept there since 2 last afternoon. "Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! I just remembered something!" Sonja said wincing each step she made towards the soft bed.

"What? Ouch!" Sami asked as she forced herself up onto the bed as well.

"I forgot to ask Mel-kun to phone daddy!"

"Wha? Was that it?" Sami said, trying to roll eyes, but the fact that her contacts were kinda stuck made it kinda hard. "Crap! I need to get these out! Sonja can you give me the trash can?"

"Urgh. . . sure, I'll try. . .ow. . ." Sonja moaned as she got up and dragged the receptacle of waste over. "Are you wearing single day disposable ones? Ouch!"

"Umm, yeah. . . ow! My arm! Oh, this is gonna be a long process. . ." Sami lamented as she peeled the offending object off her right eye, then the left. "That's better, can you pass the saline and my glasses?"

"Ouch! Okay. . . owie. . .ack!" Sonja managed to stumble over and retrieve the following items, then fell flat on her face in pain. "I wish someone could massage my shoulders. . . but that might hurt A LOT."

"Ooh . . . I wish I had a masseuse. This really sucks. I wish we hadn't started this fight. . . sorry."

"Same here, I forgot how good we both are." Sonja said as she tried to get up again but she fell flat on her face yet again. "Bad luck, that we managed to get each other beat up so bad."

"Yeah, I know, ow! Great. . . how can we manage to get to class?"

"Well, which one of us is in less pain?" Sonja mumbled from the white carpeting.

"Me. . ." Sami mumbled from her spot on her pillows.

"Good, now go call your cousin or Mel-kun and then crawl to the door and slide your keycard under it so they can open it and help us out. Ow . . .and hurry!"

"What's Mel's number?"

"Why? Ow." Sonja said as she turned over.

"Because I think he is a whole heck of a lot more responsible than Andy." Sami said still wincing in incredibly pain.

"383-0189, ow, ow, yowch, mmm. . .owie." A small tear of pain rolled down her cheek. By then, Sami had managed to get to the phone. She almost doubled over in pain even though the phone was only three feet away.

"Oh. Ow. Waa!" A few tears trailed down Sami's face as well. She just curled up into a ball and started to whine in pain.

Time: That same time

Place: Mel and Andy's kitchen, which is just handily located next to the girls place and has barely sound proof walls.

"Mel?"

"Hmm?"

"Do you hear crying?" Andy inquired with a worried look.

"Really? Wait. . . yeah, why?"

"It's coming from next door. Where the girls are staying that's all." Andy said as he shrugged while continuing to make waffles. He tossed a finished one at Mel. "Here you go!"

"Out of curiosity, what did the girls do yesterday?" Mel said as he munched on the waffle.

"Oh, nothing much, they had a fight and tore up each other's street clothes." Andy said casually as he continued his cooking.

"What happened after?" Mel said as he looked up to catch another well flipped waffle.

"They borrowed my jacket and shirt to cover whatever they could, then had me take them home on a cab and pay, and help them into their dorm and tossed my clothes back at me." Andy acted like nothing had happened.

"So is that why you said something about 'underwear', right?" Mel said pointing the waffle at Andy.

"Bingo."

"So they fought,"

"Yep."

"Tore up each other's clothes."

"Yep."

"And had you take them home?"

"Yeah." Andy made his point by nodding. Mel looked thoughtful then asked,

"Did they beat each other up really bad?"

"Yeah, I guess, I saw bruises on their upper body, arms and legs."

"Oh dear. . ." Mel rubbed at his chin. "This might not be good."

"How come?" Andy said as he started snarfing his waffles down.

"Well, one, we hear crying; two, we haven't seen them since whenever last day; and three, you said they were fighting and injured themselves relatively badly."

"Oh my . . ."

"Holy . . . come on Andy! We better check on them!" Both guys immediately left their plates and dashed to the dorm next door. "Sami! Sonja-chan! Are you two alright!"

"Cuz! Sonja! Open up will ya!" Both guys immediately started to beat on the door, but realized that proved futile.

"Mmm. . . ow. Andy? Is that you?" A weak reply came from inside.

"Sami! Let us in!"

"Sniff. . . I can't, I'm too sore. . .so is Sonja." Sami had managed to crawl towards the hallway and collapsed there, then she continued to sniffle. Sonja was on the floor still and she was curled up as though to avoid any more pain.

"Great. . . hey Mel, any ideas?" The taller boy stared at the door, then he pulled out his phone. Dialing the number in the head office he asked,

"Hello? Yes this is Mel. I'm just wondering if any damage is done to the building, will it be repaired?"

". . . . . ."

"Yes? Great! Come by to room 776 of the Officer's Suite in an hour and a half or so, bye."

"So? What's your bright idea?" Andy said still wondering what Mel meant by 'damages'.

"Simple, I blast the door open."

"WHAT?"

"Just watch me." He drew his handgun and shot out the lock on the door.

'BLAM!' "There we go." He kicked open the door and he saw a bruised Sami sprawled on the floor, looking positively bedraggled. Her face was tear-stained and her outer clothing was torn.

"Oh, my G - Sami! Are you okay?" Andy rushed over to his cousin who was currently still sniffling in pain. "What did you two do to each other!"

"Andy? Mel? We were just thinking of you t -" She went back into a dead faint.

"Mel! Check on Sonja! Then do something!" Andy was panicking now.

"Alright! Alright! I'm on it!" He dashed towards the bedrooms and saw a similarly semi-conscious Sonja lying on the floor. "Sonja-chan?"

"Hmm? Mel? I'm okay. . . for now. Oh. . ." She hit the floor with a light thud.

"Oh . . . great . . . now we got two unconscious girls. Well there goes the universe. . ." He pulled his cell phone out of his jacket and hit the numbers for the campus infirmary. "Yeah? Hello, this is first year student Mel Mah, Officer's Suite, yeah, well we have two unconscious female first years in room 776, um suffering from minor internal bleeding, severe bruising and sorry about the door, I kinda live next door so I have no key, so I shot it open. Yeah. Three hours? Ok. . . Thanks, bye. . ." Then he hung up. With that finished, Mel tossed his phone back in his pocket and decided to get Sonja somewhere else. Andy of course did similar to Sami. Both guys finally managed to get the girls onto the couches.

"Well what do we do now?" Inquired Andy as he stared at the two girls. "They both look pretty beat up and their clothing. . ."

"Don't even say it." As a matter of fact, both guys were blushing at the sight of two attractive girls in torn clothing. "Well . . . we could get them changed into something more decent, and not tell them we did or else we are in deep . . ."

"Wa! I didn't know you thought that way!"

"Shut up! I saw Sonja, God knows how many times I saw her in a very nice bikini mind you!" Mel said turning slightly red.

"You did? I want to! She's so cute!" Andy started to have a nosebleed, until Mel whacked him on the head.

"Hentai! How could you think such a thing about my friend?"

"Sorry, you probably were thinking the same about my cousin!" Andy said turning red.

"How can you say that!" Mel spat back. "Well, we better do something before the medics come. In which case will be a very long time." Mel said scratching his head. "Let's look for their pajamas or something."

"Sounds like a plan." Andy and Mel then dashed off to the girls' rooms in search of something decent for them to wear. Unfortunately, the two being guys, they probably weren't completely sure of what girls considered certain clothes. Fortunately having lived with the two girls, they could probably take a really good guess. "Let's see, socks, pants, shirts, underwear. . . oh my. Umm. . . forget I said that! A-ha! Sami's green silk pajamas! Here we go!" Andy dashed out and ran over to the living room where the girls were located. He sat and decided that he should wait. Meanwhile Mel was having a similar time looking for Sonja's clothes.

"Hmm, knowing Sonja, she organizes pretty well. Hmm. . . oh wow, she evens labels her dresser, that makes my job much easier." Mel opened the 'Pajamas' drawer and pulled out a yellow nightgown with little comet designs on it. "Bingo. . . Oh, this must be standard issue or something. . ." Mel sweat dropped and shook his head. "Forget it. . ." He then dashed off to where Andy was.

"What now man?" Andy said looking at the torn clothes the girls wore.

"Well, the clothes are probably beyond repair, so we might as well junk them."

"Okay, but how do you propose we remove the clothing without lifting the girls up? When I dragged Sami here, she was going 'ow' every two seconds."

"I got a razor blade, and a katana, we can trying cutting up the clothes."

"Or else, to avoid looking like perverts, we can just leave."

"And what? Let the medics do as they wish to them?" Mel was yelling.

"Why would you even consider that?"

"Because, some people's morals are really, really, really bad! You never know!" Mel said, then shook his head. "Man they really are taking their time."

"I noticed, but hey, we might as well change them, I guess." Sami then came to.

"Andy? Mel? What're you two doing here?" She said weakly.

"You forgot already?"

"Hmm. . . yeah, I guess, I'm really sore." Right now at this moment, both Mel and Andy were going 'Dammit, we've been partially found out.' "Erm, why are you holding my pajamas Andy?"

"Because, it was kinda our idea to get you two changed before you get to the infirmary."

"Oh, that's sweet of you. Where's Sonja? And why do my eyes hurt?"

"Umm. . . er. . . Sami, well, Sonja-chan's kinda out cold and it appears that you have been crying."

"Mel? What are you doing here? I didn't notice you!"

"Um. . . right, well I sort of broke the lock to get in so that we could help you two. We sort of heard you crying next door."

"Oh. . .right. . .owie!" Sami grabbed at her stomach in pain. "I forgot about it after I passed out I guess. Wha? My clothes are torn. I guess you two can help me change, do you have a knife or something?" Sami said as she winced yet again. "You two can help me get rid of these torn up rags, then I'll try and help you with Sonja."

"Alright, but you don't need to help ok? You're sore enough as it looks." Mel said with a worried look. She blushed slightly and turned her attention to her blouse, or what was left of it.

"You can cut here where my shoulders are. Tell me if I have any scratch marks though. . . yikes! That's cold!"

"Dua bu xi!" Mel said apologetically as he was more careful to cut away. "Wow, you two messed each other up real bad!" He lightly tapped the bruises on her back and traced the scratches there too. "Andy go to my room and look for the ointment in my drawer!"

"Ok!" He ran off as Mel paid more attention to Sami. His eyes widened at how pretty she was.

"Don't worry, the medics should be here soon."

"Oh alright, you know it's awfully nice of you to do this, you could have just left us here."

"But we heard you two -"

"Crying. Yeah, I know, but it hurt." She whined quietly. "Once you're done with me, I'll help with Sonja."

"You don't have to, you pretty sore as it is." He said with a worried look.

"Oh, alright, that's real nice of you!" She said grinning at him, then she winced. "Ow! Careful!"

"Sorry. Alright, I got one side!"

"What type of ointment is Andy getting?"

"Didn't your parents put smelly brownish-black stuff on your bruises whenever you got hurt?"

"Oh! That stuff! Yeah, ow!"

"Now what's taking Andy so long? Here goes the other side." Mel finished cutting off the rest of her blouse, then he tossed it into the trash. Sami noticed his gaze and blushed slightly. He was inwardly thinking, 'Wow, she is so cute! I wonder if I can get her to go out with me? But then I'll need to beat her a war simulation. Well that should be easy. . .' his thoughts were interrupted by Andy's return.

"Okay! Found it!" He declared happily, holding up a tube of something that smelled strongly of Chinese medicine.

"Great! Hand me it will you?"

"Sure thing." Andy passed Mel the tube.

"This might hurt. . . A LOT." Then he began to apply the contents carefully.

"Owie. . . this hurts. . .mmm. . ." Sami continued to whine quietly as Mel applied the ointment.

"Okay done!"

"Alright, Andy can you help me get my pajama top on? And Mel since you're a lot more careful than my cousin, can you start on my pants? Mmmf. . .ow! Hey be careful Andy! That hurts!"

"Oh, alright. . ." Mel was surprised at her slight forwardness, and he looked where Sonja was, she still was on the couch, now sleeping. "Where should I start?"

"Start at my feet, if you start at my waist, you might cut my underwear. . ." She started blush, as Andy started to stifle his laughter. His cousin and his best friend, weren't in the best of positions as he watched the two turn very red.

"Shut up Andy!" both Mel and Sami cried out.

"Eep!" He screamed and then he hid behind the couch. Mel turned back to Sami, who was now wearing her silk shirt, and looked at her torn up pants.

"Whoa, how'd you two manage to rip up each other so bad?"

"Can you say 'catfight' without face contact?"

"Oh. . . sorry I even asked." Mel quickly turned his attention to one pant leg and started to cut along it slowly. "There we go. . ."

"At least my legs aren't that sore. . .ow! Never mind. . .hey! Careful! You're getting a bit close to my underwear!"

"Sorry. . ." Mel carefully shifted the blade as so to avoid contact with her underwear, and managed to cut off that side. "Are your legs really sore?"

"Not really, why?"

"I want to keep cutting to a minimum, so we both can avoid immense amounts of embarrassment. After all, I only just met you a couple of days. Now would you please hold tight? I am going to try and get your leg out."

"Eek! Mel! That hurts!" She yelled at him as he pulled her left leg out of her pants. He of course winced because she had screamed right into his ear.

"Ouch . . . my ear hurts."

"Sorry." She said embarrassed.

"I guess I'll have to cut at the other side too. But it's loose now at your waist. So I'll try up there, ok?"

"Mmm . . .okay . . ." She looked down at bit and then it was her turn to go into deep thought, 'Gee, he's so nice, and careful, and . . . well I'm not sure . . . but he seems so sweet. Heck, he's here helping me out too . . . but he hasn't beaten me yet . . . and I can't break my own rules, can I? Oh . . . wow, he's working pretty fast. And he's not a pervert. That's a first. Probably because I barged into his dorm wearing just my underwear and a top, that isn't the best way to get along . . . hmm . . . wow, my legs are bruised too. He's far too busy with his work right now. I'd best just let him fix me up.' She continued to admire him working on her pant leg.

"There we go! The other leg." He looked over at her and blushed a bit, she did too when she realized she wasn't totally decent. "Sorry 'bout that."

"It's all right . . ." She was a bit red. "At least you didn't do that on purpose . . ."

"Oh. Hmm . . . let me apply some to your legs too then. I won't look, or at least try not to."

"Okay, don't worry . . . Andy! Pass me my pants!"

"Fine, fine!" Andy cast a sidelong glance at Sonja, who was stirring slightly.

"Alright, you're done now Sami. You know, I'm not sure why I'm doing this, I only met you two days ago . . . I think I'm doing this for Sonja and Andy's sake, because I know them both better than you. No offense ok?"

"Oh . . ." That unfortunate comment, had hurt, but not very badly. Sami decided to sit on the floor and think. 'Oh . . . well he's right though, we just met. But he seems nice enough, I'll see if I can talk to him during class. But how am I supposed to get to class? I can't even walk without getting in extreme pain. Maybe I'll ask him walk me to class . . . yeah, that's a great idea!' Sami started to smile slightly after she thought it through. She turned her gaze to Sonja who had now woken up.

"Ehh! Mel-kun? Andy? Sami-chan? What are you three doing here?"

"Well . . . Mel and Andy came in to help us out."

"Oh! I remember! I told you to go and get them to help! Did you manage?"

"No, not really Sonja-chan . . .we heard your crying and we kinda went to investigate." Mel said scratching his head.

"Oh. Okay. Why is Sami in her pajamas?"

"We were kinda planning to change your clothes before the medics arrived. Miss Sodashi . . ."

"You don't have to call me that cutie!" Sonja made a pouty face at Andy.

"You are such a flirt Sonja-chan!" Both Mel and Sami said simultaneously. Upon hearing each other, they jumped slightly back in surprise after hearing each other saying the same things. Then they both turned red. "Oh . . . heh, heh . . ." Sonja giggled at her two embarrassed friends.

"You two are so silly . . . now Mel-kun would you mind helping me change?"

"Umm . . .sure." Mel sweat-dropped slightly.

"MEL-KUN! Stop sweat-dropping!"

'Gulp!'

"Okay . . ." Mel turned his attention to Sonja, "Where should I start?"

"You can start with my skirt. . ." Sonja blushed slightly. Mel just felt like disappearing or something. He then sighed and started where the holes were. "Eek! That's cold!"

"Gomen . . . there, one side of your skirt. You should be able to pull that off now . . ."

"Okay . . .ow . . .Sami would get my pajamas ready?" Fortunately the pain in both had subsided greatly.

"I'll try . . ." With Andy's help Sami managed to get up and grabbed Sonja's nightgown.

"Well, looks like the medics aren't gonna come for another two hours or so. So I might as well apply some of the medicine on you too."

"What? Oh, that smelly stuff? I don't really like it though." Sonja shifted uncomfortably, because she remembered that every time she fell and hurt herself, her father had insisted on using the ointment every time. It sucked, mainly because it smelled funny. But every time it did work. Ironic really . . . she conceded to having it applied because she knew it would work. "Ouch! Zakennayo! Mel-kun! That really smarts! Baka!"

"Geez Sonja-chan, you don't have to swear . . ." Mel said poking a finger in his other ear.

"Gomenesai, oniichan . . ."Sonja said her face slightly downcast.

"Oh, all right. Do you think you can manage by yourself?"

"Not really . . ." She shook her head as she winced when Mel poked her leg.

"Ok, I guess Andy can help . . ." Mel said with a smug grin on his face.

"What me?"

"Yes, you . . ." He then whispered aside to Andy. "I know you like her . . . I can tell . . . so give it up already . . ." Then he turned back to Sonja. "Would you mind if he helps you out then Sonja?"

"No, not really." She then hissed at him. "Mel-kun! What are you doing!"

"Getting you two closer together, that's all."

"Oh . . ." Sonja just wondered how Mel could manage that.

"Now I need to be going soon . . . need to buy some more supplies, so see y'all later!" He left by walking over to the balcony and he leapt off.

"Holy shit! Did he just do what I saw him do!" Sami yelled in shock..

"Don't worry Sami-chan, he always jumped off the top floor of the Yellow Comet HQ and he usually landed in one piece, on his feet. How? I'm not really sure. I never figured that out." She winced slightly as she unbuttoned her blouse and told Andy to pass over her nightgown. "Thank you cutie!"

"Umm . . .er. . .right. . ." Andy just wondered why this cute Japanese girl kept on calling him 'cutie'.

"Sonja, you are such a hopeless flirt."

"No I'm not! You are!"

"Take that back!"

"GIRLS! GIRLS! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!" Andy decided to butt in this time, knowing what the results would be. Both girls stopped then stared at him. "Erm . . . wow, I didn't expect you to listen this time . . ." Both sweat-dropped then decided it was best not to argue. "I think, that you two should get some rest, then me and Mel will figure out what to do tomorrow. So see ya!" Then trying to imitate his friend, he jumped out the window.

"Sami-chan?"

"Yeah?"

"Can your cousin land on his feet when he jumps?"

"I'm not sure . . ." Sami slowly walked up and went to look out and then she heard the screams.

"AUGH! HELP!"

"No he can't." She said bluntly. She looked out and expected to see a patch of blood, but to her surprise she saw there was a trampoline set up where Andy was supposed to land.

"Andy! You are a moron! You really shouldn't try and do what I do without an aid! Sheesh . . ."

"YOU JERK! YOU NEVER SAID YOU USED A PARACHUTE!"

"I didn't say parachute! I use Destructive En to float down . . ."

"Oh . . .Help!"

"I wonder what color your blood would be if I didn't expect you to do something brash like jump out a 7 story building, and I wasn't here to save you. . . orange or red?"

"Jerk . . ."
