Author notes: Been awhile and I still have no internet so bear with me, I can only update when I can. In the mean time this chapter should keep you busy a bit.

It was a few hours since they disembarked from the Jade Falcon ship and finally Hiami and Hotaru finished dressing up Isis.

"You look fabulous girl, now go on and show yourself to my son." Hotaru nudged Isis while Hiami just giggled.

"I don't know Hotaru, I don't think I can do this."

"Oh don't be silly go out and present yourself to Goji." Hiami pushed Isis out the door and shut it. Isis blushed and began looking at the floor.

"Um Goji would you like to um………" Isis began fidgeting as she wondered if the braid and nice Chinese style black dress that plastered against her like a second skin was going just a bit overkill. Snore! Isis looked up then face faulted when she saw Goji sprawled on his bed asleep, anger replaced the shyness as she stomped over and shouted in his face. "Wake up, I'm talking to you!!!"

Goji leaped out of bed hit his head on the ceiling and landed belly flop style on the floor. "Ouch, don't wanna do that again." He rubbed his head and looked up and began to say. "You didn't need to yell at m……." He stopped.

Isis smiled that yell got rid of her nervousness. "You like?" She did a bit of a twirl to show off.

"Ai yai yai is that you Isis?" Goji stopped to rub his eyes before looking at her again.

Isis smirked. "How many cat girls do you have on board?" She twitched her ears to make her point.

"Its you alright, what's with the fancy dress? Planning to go out or something?" Goji finally got his emotions under control again.

Isis frowned. "Are you clueless? I'm dressed up nicely what'd ya expect?"

Goji took a few deep breaths. "Okay but simple question, where do you plan to go there isn't any restaurants here."

Isis's frown deepened and grabbed his ear. "Then we'll improvise." She began dragging him out.

"Ow!! Isis my ear! Yowch!! Let go come on!!"

Hiami and Hotaru stick their heads out just in time to see Isis drag out Goji. "Not exactly graceful is she?" Hotaru asked.

"Her never really was, first time she had a boyfriend." Hiami said.

"I see………" Hotaru watched the door slide shut behind the two.

"Oh well I better get going, I have to lay in those coordinates." Hiami got ready to leave when Hotaru grabbed her shoulder.

"Hiami I know this is hurting you so please tell me these things don't go bottling them up." Hiami looked away and ran out the door. "The poor girl still love's him oh dear." Hotaru reverted back to her wolf form and left for the hanger

Celes entered her quarters and began to change spending all that time with Ryuichi was very pleasant. "Makes me think of the future. At least there's somebody I like what if I was trapped along with no one I liked, now that wouldn't be cool." She threw the used clothes into a washroom and threw on a bathrobe then went in search for the shower area on the dropship. She found it alright but was very disappointed to find that there wasn't any stalls and she couldn't see the end of the area in the deeper end where it was dark with shadows. "These clan people have no privacy." Celes went and locked the door to the area so she could shower in privacy.

However privacy is a very touchy subject especially since someone was in the shadows struggling to fix the hot water heater. "Damn it those clanners, no hot water, what are they thinking?" The knob finally turned and Ryuichi smiled. "Ha gotcha." Turning around to and facing the light again Ryuichi's eyes bugged out when he saw the sight. "Oh wow…….. Wait she might see me, oh crap, gotta hide." Ryuichi looked frantically for a spot to hide when he stepped on the wrench he had been using and slipped and crashed. "Waaaaahhh!!"

Celes looked behind her as she heard a crash and yell. "Who's there?! Show yourself!!" She grabbed her bath towel. "I have a towel and I know how to use it!!"

A figure moved out from the shadows. "Ow my butt hurts I think I broke my ass………. Uh hi Celes."

Celes blinked at Ryuichi. "Ryu-chan what are you doing here?"

Ryuichi began scratching the back of his head. "Well you see there was no hot water so I went to fix the heater, but then you came and……" A nosebleed exploded from Ryuichi as he lost the fight to hold it back.

Celes looked at herself then blushed when she realized she was naked. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!"

(Further in the cafeteria of the dropship)

"Did you hear something?" Goji asked.

Isis twitched her ears. "Yeah sounded like a scream, oh well how's the food?" Isis smiled as Goji spooned a mouthful of instant curry into his mouth. He turned his head away and seemed to look he was pondering how to explain it. In actuality he was trying hard not to spit it out and start gagging.

Goji thinks. 'God how can someone make instant curry taste so horrible?' Struggling to swallow the horrible tasting mouthful and finally succeeding. He turned to Isis and put on a very shaky smile. "It was……. very good…….. Isis."

Isis beamed and raised a pot. "Well don't stop Goji eat up, I've got a whole pot of curry just for you."

Goji paled upon seeing the pot, 'Shit I think I'll need some pink stuff after this. Better yet some laxative just in case this stuff ends up being some sort of poison.'

Isis cocked her head. "Goji are you okay, you look kinda pale." She reached out and touched his forehead. "You don't have a fever but your sweating bullets."

Goji gently took her hand and pulled it away. "I'm fine Isis no worries okay?" He managed a shaky grin before turning back to the. (Food poison, sludge, toxic waste) curry in the bowl. 'This is going to be a long night.' He thought as a slightly burned carrot bobbed to the surface.

Zack briefly wondered what the scream he just heard was before Hillary coughed and brought him back to reality. "Zack get with the program will ya?" Hillary pouted as she grabbed a screwdriver and began to work on the gunsniper's controls again.

Zack sighed as he settled back down to help Hillary. "Why am I here again?" He asked.

Hillary looked at him and immediately began a teary eyed look. "Please."

Zack stared for a few seconds. "I'm going regret this…….…. Okay."

Hillary smiled and stuck her hand out. "Wrench." In two seconds it was in her hand and she dove back into repairs again.

Goji came out of the cafeteria with Isis supporting him. "Why didn't you tell me the stuff tasted crappy? Who knows what could have happened if you kept eating it." Isis was feeling so guilty right now she knew that she must have messed up some where in the process.

Goji looked at her and smirked. "But you worked so hard on it. I couldn't just say. "It tasted like crap." And forsake you."

Isis smiled and gripped him tighter. "Oh your so sweet pppppppppuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrr."

About halfway to the medical room, Goji and Isis were treated to the sight of a fully clothed Ryuichi with some grease on his face being chased by a towel wrapped Celes.

"Ryuichi get back here so I can give you a present!!!!" Celes began to crack knuckles as she ran.

"I think I prefer not to have the present!!!" Ryuichi continued to run but Celes was slowly gaining on him.

"Are you a man or not? If you are you'd take your punishment like one!!"

"Nothing wrong with running away from pain!! Especially when the receiver is me!!!"

"Come back here!!!!"

Goji and Isis watch the couple fade from view. "That was………. interesting." Goji commented.

Isis just nodded her head in agreement and the two continued on to the medical wing.

Hiami wiped tears from her eyes as she typed in coordinates for the dropship. "It seems we will be in Coventry's orbit in a few hours." Then there was a large beeping noise and a red button began to blink, Hiami pressed it on instinct.

A large holographic screen appeared and a woman with mid-back red hair and wearing a t-shirt and shorts glared at Hiami. "I am captain Red Monika of the 1st recon and assassination lance. I don't know why you clanners have to be such a thorn in our foot but I shall not tolerate this."

Hiami tried to regain her composure. "I am Hiami Sohemoto I lead the Sky Raider's team. I am not one of these Jade Falcon clanners as you say."

Red Monika looked at Hiami. "Yes you look to young to be a pilot and you look like someone from the Draconis Combine."

Hiami rubbed her temples. "As for being a clanner I repeat no I'm not, as a pilot I am. This Draconis Combine however I have no idea who they are."

Red looked incredulously at the girl Hiami. "A kid like you a pilot……… ridiculous."

Hiami sighed. "We have no intention of fighting if you want more details you'll have to ask the leader of G-Force Goji Kaiju."

Red narrowed her eyes. "Where is this leader of yours?"

Hiami bowed her head. "No idea one of my team has gotten quite close to him so he's somewhere."

Red scowled. "What leader would screw around like that? He is totally irresponsible."

Hiami glared. "Irresponsible? Goji is one of the most courageous and responsible person, I've ever met."

"Thanks for the lift-up Hiami."

Hiami turned to see Goji enter with Isis right behind him. "Goji we have company."

Goji looked at the image. "I noticed, Goji Kaiju of the team G-Force."

Red stared at Goji. "You're just a kid."

Goji crossed his arms. "And your an adult so what?"

Red scowled. "How the hell did you kids get a Jade Falcon dropship?"

Goji shrugged. "I won it after defeating the Jade Falcons. Now don't mind me asking but we'd like to land."

Red closed her eyes as she replied. "I'll let you land but I tell you this one wrong move and you're all dead." The image blinked out.

"Charming isn't she?" Goji said the sarcasm oozing from his voice. "But let's think of that later, prepare for touchdown."

"Aye." The two girls said and settled at computer consoles

Jira smiled as she listened to the intercom. She had placed bugs all over and heard the whole thing. "Well now looks like we're going for a landing." She turned toward Copper. "Are you ready?"

Copper frowned but nodded. 'Just wait you bitch, I'll get my revenge on you soon enough.' Copper turned away. 'Then I'll go after Goji and make sure to kill him slowly.' He smiled as he walked to the GunGyarados. 'Soon.'
