Botan went in Neo's room to see him lying face down in his pillow. She went up to him and punched him in the ribs.

"Botan I really don't need this right now" he said the pillow muffling his words.

"Wow your pretty good you knew it was me with out looking" she said.

"I'm not in the mood for you."

She sat on the bed facing him "oh come on you can tell me."

He sighed "you wont leave me alone until I do right?"

"Yup" she said happily.

"I feel like I don't belong here now, before I did but not anymore."

Botan looked at him "then why did you come back?"

"I don't know I guess it was better than coming back to the earth forces." "All this time I thought that people where talking to me, but in reality they were talking to Mu, I don't belong here Mu does."

She stroked his thick blond hair.

"It's so hard being someone your not."

"I'm so sorry you feel that way" she wisperd.

"Sorry wouldn't stop people from calling me Mu."

Botan looked down as Neo sat up.

"No I'm sorry you've only been trying to help me and I've been shooting you down."

"Its okay" she said "but I think you shouldn't be talking to me."

He blinked "than who should I be talking to?"

She stood up you should talk to the women you love."

He stood up "hey wait a minute I don't love the captain" he shouted.

Botan laughed "who ever said anything about Murrue?" She asked waking out of the door.

Neo took a deep breath "okay…"

Neo entered the bridge again he was surprised to see her alone.

"Where is everyone?" he asked.

She jumped "you scared me, since were in orb territory a lot of people went out are you feeling a little better? I sent Botan to talk to you."

"well I need to talk with you not her."

She looked at him "I don't know if I can do anything for you."

He sat on a chair and she sat next to him. he took a deep breath "so how are you?" He asked.

"Come on tell me" Murrue said.

"Fine it's just that since everyone calls and treats me like Mu I fell like I have to be two different people, Mu and me" he said. "I feel like I need to live up to everyone's expectations, but I'm not Mu I'm my own person" neo said.

Murrue looked down.

"I'm sorry" he softly said.

"You have no reason to apologize I have been pushing you so hardly to be just like him."

"He was more than an irreplaceable comrade right?"

"Mu said he would come right back, but he never did and when you came I thought…"

"I understand sorry I'm such a disappointment" he said.

"Oh Neo its not your fault its just me and since you came I've been happier than I have been in the last two years."

He smiled "than why don't you export me around the ship first?" They both got up and he wrapped his arm around her waist. "Oh what's that you want to take a bath together?" He said pulling her along.

"What? Wait!" she said. "Perhaps you really are someone else."

"Oh really" he said playfully.
