…Yzak…
Yzak aged five:
Yzak was playing in the garden when Payton came over to him. "Anzu-Chan is here, oni-sama!" Payton giggled at her brother as he went red. She knew that he liked her a lot but she wasn't going to say anything. After all she took after her father. Yzak still was red when a little four year old girl came over.
"Hey, Yzaku-kun!" she laughed. Her bobbed brown hair swayed slightly as she moved her head so she could see all of Yzak. He smiled and went back to coloring his picture of the garden for art class (yes he is good at art! I don't know if he has an appreciation for it though). Anzu slumped over next to him and then got up and moved behind him. Then the five year old boy felt a weight on his back. It was Anzu.
"Whatcha doing Anzu!" Yzak yelled, yes, taking after his mother, Ezaria.
"Giving you a hug. Friends give each other hugs all the time. So, I thought you were in a bad mood so I gave you a hug!" Anzu had a perfectly logical answer. But the truth was that Yzak was buying time to get rid of his red face.
Payton aged seventeen:
Payton had very weird nightmares ever since she joined the Earth Forces. She couldn't remember things but she could remember a face. The face was of a little boy with the same silvery grey hair as her own. He had beautiful, steely blue eyes, compared to her light bluey-green shade, and his skin was very pale, like Payton's. She had even written a song for him. For in all of her "memories" he hadn't once been smiling.
Last Note To My Guardian Angel:
To the angel who couldn't smile,
With the broken tender wing,
Who was forced to walk a mile,
Without thinking of a thing.
The light that shines around you,
It is as if I know,
Who you are, and you know me too,
That is why I ask, why is it so?
Please don't let your light go out,
It is wrong you should be smiling.
All I see is your pout,
You shall be healed and shining.
I don't remember your name,
Or how I came to know you.
But if strength is you game,
Then I shall come and help you.
Just know little one,
As you live in peace,
That I am there watching over you,
Until you fall asleep…
Payton tried to think of the next words and then she remembered.
I shall hold you dear,
Even if no-one else will.
Come and once shed a tear,
While crying silently still.
For all of the lives you've lost,
And all those that you remember.
Let them live on in your heart,
Just waiting for December.
Even though this angel had no name, she decided to remember him. She drew a picture and wrote down "memories" of stuff they did together. She wanted to find this angel, and embrace him. For she knew he was real.
Anzu aged fifteen:
Anzu sat still on her bed reading. She had wanted to call her… friend… but she knew he would be busy with work. He had joined the ZAFT forces only three years ago on her birthday. "Ever since Payton and Jacob," she sobbed silently. All she wanted to do was cry. She had one wish that she wanted Yzak to hear. She wanted to sing her song to him. The song of rainbows. Her second favourite natural wonder.
The Rainbow Connection
Why are there so many songs about rainbows?
And what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
And rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
Who said that every wish would be heard?
And answered when wished on the morning star?
Somebody thought of that and someone believed it.
Look what it's done so far.
What's so amazing that keeps us star gazing
And what do we think we might see?
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
All of us under its spell. We know that it's probably magic.
Have you been half asleep and have you heard voices?
I've heard them calling my name.
Is this the sweet sound that called the young sailors.
The voice might be one and the same.
I've heard it too many times to ignore it.
It's something that I'm supposed to be.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me.
She envisioned Yzak in his charming green uniform- Ezaria had told her last week that he was promoted from a blue uniform to a green one. But he would look more handsome in a navy blue uniform though, she thought bringing a smile to her lips, or a light blue one. Anything blue… Like the ocean…
Yzak aged 12 ½:
It was a funeral… For Jacob Joule. Yzak had lost everything he knew in a matter of three years. His older sister (senior by five years) Payton had become a Missing Person, presumed dead. And now, Yzak thought, dad is dead too. All because of that nosey Earth Alliance. Yzak scowled. He was feeling too much emotion. He didn't know whether to cry, laugh or punch something- or someone. "Yzak, don't scowl. You features are too pretty to harm. And anyway, if the wind changes you will be stuck like that!" a pretty twelve year old girl wearing a black turtle neck shirt and a long green flowing skirt had come over.
"Not funny. If you haven't noticed this is a funeral for my father. So please, cut the joking!" he yelled out in anger. He hadn't meant to be that harsh sounding, but how could he got to his own father's funeral with a big smile and carefree attitude. Or fight a war for that matter! Yzak thought, still scowling. He sat down on the snow covered ground. It was funny that it was winter and they still had the funeral at night by the ocean. It was his favourite time of day, at his favourite place, in his favourite season. What more could he have asked for? To live, Yzak thought as a new wave of sadness fell over him. His thoughts were interrupted when he felt a sudden weight on his back. It was Anzu. She was leaning on his back while hugging him around the chest. Her warmth was immensely light. Yzak felt himself losing all of his bottled up emotions and them just disappearing. Then he heard her singing.
"You fill up my senses, like a night in the forest. Like the mountains in springtime, like a walk in the rain. Like a storm in the desert, like a sleepy blue ocean. You fill up my senses, come fill me again" Anzu finished. It was one of Yzak's favourite songs. His dad used to sing it to his mother to comfort her, and Yzak had adored that song. Anzu's voice was full of the cold night and she was singing, but whispering it. He found that soothing. She released the embrace and sat next to him. "That is my gift to you. I know that you have had it hard and you are almost of age to join the military. I just wanted to let you hear my song. I also wanted to know, are you going to join the military in January? I know the sign up date is my birthday" Anzu asked quietly. Yzak didn't know why, they were far away from anyone so they wouldn't hear them. Maybe, Yzak thought, she is just cold and the air is getting to her.
"Yes, I will do it for my father, my sister and the PLANT's. I want to save my home. And protect the things I love most. All I have left is here. And I don't want to lose them too. I am going to protect mother and… you" Yzak said, his voice went to a whisper at the last words. Anzu went red. Yes, Yzak thought. She finally understands how serious I am…
A/n: Hope this wasn't too silly. I don't own Annie's Song or Rainbow Connection. But I do own that poem. I created it so it is mine. But however, if you review, you can use it, with my permission! See I am so nice. I don't own G-seed. If I could I would, since I don't we will leave it at that. Payton likes to write poems. Her memories have been erased, like they do to people in G-seed DESTINY (or so I've heard). I haven't seen it so I know nothing. She is really Payton though. The reason I chose Payton is that it is such an out of the way name. Like Yzak. They both contain Y. I have to choose a saint for my confirmation. Any good ideas about the saints? I really need some. By the way, I made Yzak a catholic. He goes to church to beg for forgiveness for killing so many people. And he has a conscience. On a side note, thank you to JinxieTheThief for reviewing (id that spelt right?). Also thank you for Joanne, who helped me harness my imagination. God that was probably the longest one I have ever written. Gotta go, G-seed is on!
