Mission of the Heart
Chapter 3: Memories Unfold Part One
She couldn't calculate the landing zone from the distance but she still drove far enough to insure she arrived before her higher ups. As she waited an old song to her played from her speakers and her mind flooded with images of the scenes of the past. A few years before the Kerberos mission when she first met Takashi Shirogane.
Matt drug her behind him as a new cadet he was over joyed and they were going out to celebrate with others from Matt's class. "Matt this is your cadigory of training cadets not mine i won't even see any of them again. I'm a mission controlle cadet not a enginer and piolet this makes no sense!" Matt turned sighing as he looked his best friend in the eyes "These will be your fellow crew. You will guide them home its essential for you to get to know them. They may get glory one day but you will be their hero." She groans knowing he was right but that didn't help her introvert nerves. "Besides there will be a few from your age group here Annie." Matt said smiling as she swatted at him intent on damage. "Don't call me Annie! Just because i'm an orphan its not funny!" She growled but only half hearted anger. Matt couldn't stand Anne-Marie when she first came to stay with them calling her little orphan Annie now it was a nickname between friends. Colleen Holt had been friends with her parents and was her god mother. Their death was so sudden as they had rushed back to celebrate her acceptance to the Galaxy Garrison on a red eye flight that had engigne failure. She had been heartbroken and almost changed her mind about the Garrison but Matt and Katie had convinced her, and she was glad they had.
Matt opened a door to a small wreck room reserved for the celebration. A tall male with brownish black hair walked up to them, "Holt you made it and you brought a friend? You know this is only for Garrison cadets right?" Matt chuckles looking back at the girl who was trying not to hyperventolate "Calm down Shiro She may not seem it but she is. This is Anne-Marie Dempsey she's mission controlle major, top of her class" She extends her hand not looking up but having known the name "Pleasure to make your acquaintance" Shiro stares at her hand for a moment staring in awe at the girl "Wow top of the class it maybe a small group in that field but the brains are bigger than the ones even in matts devision to be the top and even in it is impressive." He excitedly shakes her hand before she pulled away like his skin would poison her if it stayed in contact with hers much longer. He frowned looking at Matt "you get use to it she doesn't like physical contact much." She slunked to a corner waiting for this to be over but the tall boy wouldn't leave her to her own world. "So that means your the same class as me then right?" she gives him a quick nod. "Um so i've never seen you in classes or simulation aren't you supposed to practice guiding the piolets out of and back into the atmosphere?" She groans "I have i leave quickly after. In fact i've guided your crew four times since the begining of last quarter." He grins "That was you really? You sound so different in person." She sighs nodding "So i've heard." He continues all night bombarding her with questions that she reluctantly answers till he asks "So you and Matt make a cute couple" She freezes glaring at him "Matt is like a brother to me not my boyfriend. I've never had a relationship that wasn't plutonic. I don't have time for most after school activities let alone dating." He looks at her curiously "You've never had a date before?" She groans finally walking away to find a drink or snack "Well maybe you will grant me the honor of rectifying that?" She looks at him "You don't even know me." He chuckles "Thats what a date is for is to get to know the other party in a private setting where no one they know can distract them." She huffs "I don't have free time for things like dating, I babysit and tutor to fund my way through school." Her face showed no emotions that were welling up inside her. "It took Matt agreeing to pay me lost wages to get me to come to this party." She finally had enough of his company. She turns to find Matt stepping through the crowd to find him leaving Shiro behind "Matt I'm leaving I stayed the agreed amount of time." She leaves before he can respond. Shiro grins walking over to Matt, as the smaller male begins to apologise Shiro cuts him off, "I'm going to get a dte with her i it kills me" Matt holds in a laugh "Good Luck"
