Um… yeah. Enjoy!
Dear Faithful Faith
Rain was walking down the hall towards room E-233. After telling Domon about his father, he got really angry and almost had a fit. It was a good thing the doctor came in at that moment or else Domon might have done something he later would of regretted. The doctor had to get Domon into surgery for his arm or else he might lose it. Rain promised to visit later after lunch but she had her fingers crossed behind her back. Right now, Domon needed to be alone.
She walked got to the two hundred thirty rooms and her heart stopped. 'Cr…critical car rooms…?' Rain stuttered as she looked at all of the closed doors. The doors were all closed and locked with one single window at the top. It reminded her of a prison or insane hospital. Each room had a laser scanner next to the door. She slowly walked down the hall trying not to shake. Maybe the clipboard was wrong. Maybe it meant 283 or, or 288?' She tried not to think about it too much. "E Two hundred thirty-three. George and …Marie deSand."
She stood on her tiptoes and peeked inside. There were no other nurses or doctors which she already knew considering this was one of her rooms. She looked at the clipboard that hung outside of the room, which held the information of the patens inside that particular room. "That's good, they're not due for any doctor visits for another hour and a half. They must have a doctor from France, everything is written in French!" Rain got a sweat drop on the back of her head as she put the clipboard back on its hook.
BUZZZZZZZZ! CLICK! Rain scanned her ID and the door unlocked. The room was dark for the curtains were still drawn. Raymond must not of been able to get I, I just they can't have visitors.' Rain quietly closed the door behind her as she headed for the window to get some light in the room. She almost jumped out of the window when she heard George moan in the background. She felt bad for him. According to his chart, he had severe burns on his back and on top of it all, a broken left arm. Marie's chart did not show anything bad. She's minor compared to most critical care patents. 'They must of put her in here because she's foreign, a Princess, and her husband is in critical care. Its best, I would go mad if Domon was in here and I was elsewhere receiving second hand news only'
The curtain was opened only, a little which allowed some light into the pitch black. The sunrise was beautiful this morning. From this window, you could still see them cleaning up the stadium at a distance. Maybe I should close it.' Rain looked away after she opened the window a crack to let in come fresh air. When she turned around, she saw that the curtain between the two beds was drawn. "Why would they do that? They know George can't move and Marie can't walk!" Rain growled under her breath as she walked over to George's side of the room.
'At least his face is still beautiful.' Rain blushed as she looked at the sleeping knight. The light danced across his face gracefully as he slept. It gave his pale, gentle face an angel-like glow that would of made Rain melt if she weren't already married to her Gundam knight, Domon. His long orange hair was tied behind his head and then clipped to the top of his head with a simple, large hairclip. Due to his burns on his back, he did not have a shirt on and was laying on a healing cold pack while covered up with the thin sheet. It was a hot day, but even hotter for one with burns on there back. She did not see his shirt anywhere so she figured when he was found; he was still in his Gundam battle suit just as Domon was.
The cast on his arm was blue and it went from his hand up to about his elbow. His arm was bend and resting on his bare chest. Again Rain began to blush when she looked down at his chest. 'Why do Princesses always get the muscular guys?!' He may not look it, but he had a nice six-pack going on hidden under that gentleman Frenchman look. The look on his sleeping face told her he was uncomfortable. So she carefully and slowly raised the head of the bed so he was laying at a slanted angle. She removed the ice pack and put a fresh cold one to help things out. "It's a good thing muscular men aren't heavy." Rain said under her breath as she went to go open the curtain that separated the two beds.
Marie stirred so Rain decided to go check up on her. "Allô Rain." Marie said sleepily. "How are you this lovely morning?" Rain could tell she was on some kind of painkiller and was very unaware of the world around her. "Um... I'm okay." Rain noticed the bandage on her forehead and decided to do the typical checkup. "Marie, I need to do some typical checks on you okay?" Marie looked at her funny but when Rain pointed to her forehead she smiled.
"Okay, do you know what day today is?"
"Um, I don't remember the exact date, but I do know it's a Friday."
"Good, okay. Do you know where you are?"
"Somewhere in Tokyo."
"Marie…"
"A hospital somewhere in Tokyo."
"Do you remember what happened yesterday? Anything at all?"
"Well, I was watching Rose Gundam fight burning Gundam when there was a black out. I saw George crawl out of the Gundam next to Domon and then there was some kind of explosion and that's all I can recall." Marie put her hand on her head, which signified that it was beginning to hurt again.
"That's okay…"
"George! Is he alright?" Marie had a look of desperation in her usually cheerful eyes.
"Yes, he's doing fine, well for his condition."
Rain pointed to George sleeping in the other bed. Marie sighed a sigh of relief. "I would allow you to get up, but…" Rain just smiled as Marie laid her head back down. "Not to sound to un-Princess-like, but… when's lunch?" Rain laughed. I'll check yours and George's chart and see what I can do. But for now, I'm going to need to change that bandage and get you another aspirin. "Okay…"
Rain changed the bandage, got aspirin and helped Marie hop over to an empty chair next to George's bed. Considering Marie's right anklebone was shattered, Marie couldn't walk herself. So Rain then headed to go see if she could get them some food since their charts did not say otherwise. Rain got to the nurse's desk where she met up with Amanda again.
"Hey Rain. How's everyone doin'?" Rain smiled as she put her clipboard on the counter. "Okay. Ger… Mr. & Mrs. DeSand in room E-233? Are they allowed to eat?" Rain asked not sure if she should totally go by the chart. "Let me think, are they the ones from France? Yes I do believe they are both allowed to eat. Have they not received the breakfast or lunch trays?" Amanda was picking up a box which contained a few needled and mediations. "No." Rain picked her board up again. "Well, accordin' to my knowledge they can eat what ever they feel like havin'. Neither is having surgery and I don't believe broken bones, a cut head and a burned back is enough to restrain them from eatin'." Amanda laughed as she turned to face Rain. "One more thing, are you able to give shots? Were you trained back in Medic school?" Rain nodded then Amanda handed Rain a notebook. "In here are all the treatments each patent on your list is goin' to need. If you need and tools or supplies just come back to the desk. Don't forget to break at noon for lunch." Amanda headed down the hall.
Rain ordered lunch for George and Marie and had it delivered with a note from her saying she needed to finish her rounds then she'll be back.
Rain decided to head to the other rooms that had other people from the Gundam tournament. She stopped at another critical care room and peeked into the window. It was empty except for the patient. She unlocked the door and walked in. She looked at her chart and found the room number to figure out who was in this room. It was labeled unknown and she had no medical charts in her notebook. But still, the patient was on her list, so she was to care to her. The curtain was drawn around the patient and the room was lit with every light available in the room. She heard a noise from behind the curtain and peeked through the opening. She gasped when she saw about a dozen familiar looking doctors leaning over a female patient. She backed away from the curtain and hid behind the other, vacant bed. She listened in quietly to the conversation.
"Did you here something?"
A doctor peeked out the curtain and then when back in. "No. You were saying something Doctor T."
"Yes, yes. It is clear the experiment did kill her."
"What should we do doctor"
"We'll have to hide this from anyone. No one must find out."
"But sir, she has a boyfriend. He'll get–"
"Nonsense, we'll, we'll tell him she died of natural causes."
"That will never work–"
"Silence! I need to concentrate."
"What will we put as a cause? Imagine if the boyfriend comes and asks–"
"They will say she died of an old disease caused by the Gundam she used to operate. No one needed to know it was caused b–"
Rain sat in the corner trying not to make any sounds. BUZZZZZZZ! CLICK! Someone came into the room just as Rain was about to make her get away. "Doctors" The person said. "Your needed in surgery."
"Nurse, have this girl's family notified and have her removed to the morgue." They all left and the door closed. Rain peeked into the curtain one last time. Rain almost died when she finally saw the patent's face. "Allenby. Oh Domon's gonna be heart wrecked when he finds out." Rains closed her eyes and said a quick and silent pray before covering Allenby. "No one will know about this, not even you!" Before Rain could scream, he was blindfolded and knocked out by chemicals from a needle.
When Rain awoke, Domon, George, & Marie were fully dressed in their normal clothing and sitting next to a window talking. Before making any sounds, rain looked around at her surroundings. He was in a hospital bed with a couple IV's coming out of her arm. And EKG machine was beeping next to her. 'Normal, that's good.' Rain thought to herself. BUZZZZZZZ! CLICK! A nurse entered the room as Domon, Marie, and George approached Rain's bedside.
"Oh Good Rain, your awake." The nurse was Amanda. "Rain, I need you to tell me the last thing you remember." The nurse was very serious. "The Gundams blowing up." Rain clearly started with a straight face. "Domon came closer to Rain as Rain tried to sit up. "Rain, you were attacked by someone in a diseased patents room. They injected you with something to make you forget. Only I think they gave you too much. You've been out of it for five days. Your perfectly fine now, its just you'll need to say over night one more night just to make sure." Rain nodded as the nurse left. "We'll head down to the lobby and wait for you Domon." George led Marie out the door after saying good-bye to Rain. I just know there is something important I'm suppose to tell you Domon, but what?" Rain said as Domon sat on her bed. Rain leaned on Domon's shoulder and swung her legs out of the bed.
~*~Eleven Months Later~*~
Cecile next to SiSici, SiSici next to Chibodee, Chibodee next to Cath, Cath next to Marie, Marie next to George, George next to Domon, Domon next to Rain, Rain next to Cecile.
"Good to see everyone once again." Chibodee said as all the shuffle alliance members and their wives sat around a large table next to the Pacific Ocean. It was a nice warm day and they all decided to have a gathering at the water's edge. Domon and Rain were able to rent, for free, a party-size gazebo on the water's edge of Tokyo, Japan. Their was a large dock which was docking Chibodee's large American party boat which they were all going out parting on in the next few hours. Lee & John were sitting on the dock counting the fireflies as they flew by and baby Faith was sleeping soundlessly in her carrier next to Rain.
"Hey its almost dark, I say we get on with the par-tay!" Chibodee said excitedly. "Yeah." Cecile agreed. Cath leaned over to Marie. "Boys will be boys." She whispered in Marie's ear as Chibodee led everyone down to the boat leaving George, Rain, Cath, and Marie still sitting. "Always playing with their toys." Rain leaned onto the table and smiled as Marie and Cath laughed. "COMING?" Chibodee called from the dock as the last person boarded. Cath rolled her eyes and put her hand on her stomach, which held her 4-month-old baby. "If this child takes after its father… its gonna be dead before it can say dada!" Cath stood up and made her way over to Chibodee where Chibodee kissed her quickly and led her in.
"Better hurry before Crocket leaves us." George stood up and helped his 5-month pregnant 'Princess' down to the ship, closely followed by Rain and her baby Cath. Just as Marie stepped onto the slip; Domon came out to help Rain with Faith. Chibodee launched a firework into the sky accidentally, shaking the dock sending both Domon and George into the water. "Sorry" Chibodee said as he peered over the stern of the ship into the water where George was climbing out of the water and Domon was swimming back to the dock. "Crocket! Your so dead!" Domon climbed up and followed George inside the ship, both searching for the 'soon-to-be-dead Chibodee. Rain entered the ship and the ship set sail into the night sky of Japan with Champaign, wine, beer, (and juice for the kids) where they partied all night long.
"Help!" Chibodee cried out as he hung from the ship's port side anchor where George and Domon hung him only minutes ago.
Author's Notes: Well? R&R By the way, I plan on skipping a few years soon. Don't be confused if the next chappie is like almost a summery of a few things. You know like each paragraph being complete summaries. I told you before; I needed to get going fast! So the next chappie is not a real chappie, well it is but then it isn't. It's mostly like summaries of the tings that happen that I'm not going to really cover like new babies and so on. I'm skipping ahead a few years to cover some important stuff but I really don't feel the need to right and entire chappie on it. Thx for understanding. LOL! And yes… the story is ending VERY VERY soon!
Next chappie - - Dear Shuffle Alliance Family
Gundam fight all set? Ready…GO!
