I'm happy to say that I'm writing more than I normally do. I hope everyone who reads my work really enjoys it even if it's just a little bit. I still don't own Zoids, I know you're all so shocked, and that's enough for me.


What was a four hour hike up was a four minuet sprint down and the second everyone got to the cars they jumped in and floored it all the way to the base. That's how Wolf knew that their work was paying off. Not one argument broke out on the way down the mountain or on the drive back. It was a good feeling but she really hoped that it wasn't a temporary change.

"Okay, now that everyone's here tell me, what did you learn from this activity?" Asked Wolf as soon as everyone was in the hanger and listening. (The hanger was where all of their sessions have taken place so far)

Van was the first to speak. "I learned that you can't just look at things one way and that sometime other people see options that you may not see yourself."

"That's excellent Van I'm glad to see you've made progress." Wolf paused to look around the room. "Thomas, what about you, what did you learn?" Thomas looked at Wolf for a second before answering the question.

"The same thing that Van learned actually." He replied thoughtfully.

"Is that all everybody learned from this activity? I mean that's grate you found that out but come on I can see at least one thing you're over looking. It's really important too." There were blank stares across the room. "Major Hermann why don't you give it a shot."

"Sure," he said while trying to come up with what the answer could be, "That we shouldn't just assume things are what we think they are. That just because someone doesn't say something straight off doesn't mean it doesn't apply."

"Awesome, you hit the nail on the head with that one." Wolf smiled "Guys I know you may think this isn't a big deal, but not long ago you all assumed something that wasn't true and that will cost you every time. You never assume things you always need to be prepared for the unexpected. Now I know what I would be thinking if I were you right now; I would be thinking 'big whop we neglected to foresee an assignment when we got to the top.'…"

"Really? That's what you'd be thinking!" Mixy said in an amazed tone.

"Yeah, why? Is that a problem or something?" Wolf replied knowing quite well where this was headed.

"No, but man, you think in complex words. Foresee, neglected, and all that jazz. I think you may be the only person I know who thinks like that." Mixy was teasing Wolf now. She did it every time Wolf said that she was thinking something and used "complex" words to describe what she thought.

"That's… good… I guess. Anyways my point is that hike we were on could have bee you on you next mission and the activity you didn't anticipate at the top that could have been a group of bandits or some dangerous thing you wouldn't have been prepared for because you assumed you would have no problems." There was a nice silence as Wolf's words sunk into the minds of everyone that was there. Unfortunately the quiet didn't last long.

"Yeah, remember when you assume you make an ass out of you and me." Miso yelled as she stood up. "Now get out of here and do something useful." Mixy and Loki giggled a little bit as they walked out of the room.

"Very nice Miso. I'm glad you could provide them with a spelling lesson before they left." Wolf sounded serious but she was smiling.

"Hey I had to say something elswise you would have been the only one teaching the Reperials anything."

"Yeah I guess so. Oh and Miso."

"Yeah?"

"Elswise isn't a word." Mixy, Loki, and Miso laughed even though it wasn't that funny. Wolf just smiled and walked in her normal position in the rear of the group.

Later that evening Wolf sat alone in the mess hall. Her friends had already left for the night and she had no one else to hang out with. That's the way Schubaltz and Hermann found her when they walked into the mess hall. It looked kind of sad she was leaning over the table head on her hand staring at a wall.

"Are you going to stand there staring or do you need something?" Wolf said not moving her gaze off the, oh so interesting, wall.

"Huh, um, we don't need anything just came in here to talk." Replied Hermann.

"Have fun with that." Wolf stood up and turned to leave but Schubaltz caught her arm. "This is about what now?"

"Are you alright?" Asked Hermann sitting down at the table Wolf had been at.

"Peachy. Now again do you want something?" Wolf jerked her arm out of Schubaltz's grasp.

"Why don't you sit down? It would be nice to get to know you." Schubaltz sat down Wolf followed suite.

"What exactly do you want to know?"

"For starters how old are you?" Hermann couldn't resist it had been bothering him since the moment he was told he had to take orders form her.

"Fifteen and three quarters." Sighed Wolf.

"Your fifteen!" Both of the officers yelled together.

"I turn sixteen in a month but that doesn't matter. Does it?" Wolf turned her gaze away from the wall and started staring at the table top.

"No. I just can't picture and the other being sixteen." Hermann said quickly.

"You can't picture Miso Mixy and Loki and teenagers?" Asked Wolf a little shocked.

"I can." Said Schubaltz picturing the three reeking havoc on some poor teacher.

"If you're fifteen how come my mo… the President hired you to teach us how to get along?" Prodded the republican major.

"Because we come highly recommended by our friend father who does this sort of thing also and because Miso and Mixy are Imperials and Loki and I are Republicans and we are all best friends and always have been even if we had to lie to hang out with each other." Wolf looked at the wall again.

"Oh. So how long have you all known each other?" It was Schubaltz's turn to ask questions.

"We met each other in third grade we used to hang out in the park together…until our parents met up with one another that is." Wolf cringed slightly hinting that there was yelling and possibly violence.

"That's good. So if you're fifteen you still go to school right? Where do you guys go to?" Schubaltz glanced at Hermann shooting him an, I feel like a moron, look.

"We go to Valley Core High. We have gone the V.C district since our freshman year." Wolf smirked…it was kind of scary.

"Why your freshmen year?" Continued the colonel.

"Funny story really…"


Okay that's it for chapter four. I hope you all enjoyed it because I certainly did. I know it was a bit more serious that the other chapters and I promise that Chapter five will be packed full of random laughs…hopefully… Any ways this is Rain Grey Wolf saying "Please Review!"
