A new world, a new chance
Chapter 3
After the short visit to the factory, Eugene went to the mess hall for breakfast, he found Sam, Ramon and Mike on the left side looking at the recent issue of the playboy magazine that just came out while eating, and on the right were Melody and Mikaela seated in front of each other. The silent young adult grabbed a tray and sat near Sam and the others.
"hey man, your just the guy we've been waiting for, Eugene!" Mike said in his usual cheery tone.
The beach shirt loving young man placed the magazine near his food tray.
"check out miss Union! Her cleavage is so hot!"
"she even gives advice on how to have good sex!" quietly exclaimed Ramon, who was half embarrassed for the two girls might overhear them in the other table.
"hey that bikini's covering way too much skin!" Sam complained.
"hey Eugene, dude you should check this out! She's so hot!" Mike Suggested, but the young man simply continued eating. "I'm not Interested" was the only words that came out of his mouth.
"alright, alright… but don't blame me if you won't have a girlfriend" with that mike backed off.
Meanwhile at the other table…
"Melody-chan, why don't we take a nice bath in the ship's hot springs, I'm sure our body needs to relax after a hectic day right" Suggested Mikaela.
"why not, most probably Cindi is in there right now" Agreed Melody.
Meanwhile at the men's table
"you heard that men? They're going in the hot springs! Now is our chance!"declared Mike
"chance for what?" Sam had a puzzled look on his face.
"to see some lady cleavage in the flesh! Heck they might even get to it!"
"hey Eugene, are you coming too?" asked mike.
The young man didn't even look at him, pretending he didn't exist.
"Well fine, you're gonna miss out on all the fun!"
The Ptolemios has Hot spring baths for the crew members who were tired from all the work as a member of the ship, the late Sumeragi had it installed a while ago, even Tieria thought of it as a good idea, the area for the baths has special gravity mechanisms to make it usable even in outer space, its also a good place were the crew can interact with one another and enjoy the spoils of fine living once in a while for a career such as theirs.
At the Hot springs, Mikaela and Melody were in the locker rooms getting ready for a relaxing bath.
"Ahh finally we get a nice long warm bath" Mikaela who is eager to take a plunge.
"yeah, it's been such a long time since we did this, you know"
"I know, but this time, can we do it more slowly?"
"sure, that way we can do it longer"
"sounds good" then the two girls were heard giggling
Meanwhile on the other side of the room, the three young men were eavesdropping.
"Dude did you hear that?" Mike excitingly asked.
"Dude! score!"Ramon almost yelled in excitement.
"Not too loud, you'll blow our cover!" Sam smacked him at the back.
"here's the plan, we'll get inside the hot springs in stealth mode so they won't notice us going in, then when they get really into it in each other we'll climb up the dividers and get ourselves a free show!"
"awesome plan man!" Ramon commented.
As the two young girls get ready to enter the water, they saw Cindi all alone, with a sad look on her face.
"hey Cindi, what's the matter?" asked Mikaela.
"It's nothing really, don't mind me…" She replied with a very gloomy expression on her face.
"come' on Cindi! It's nothing us girls can't handle"
"would you mind joining us Cindi?" asked Melody
"…okay"
Meanwhile at the other side of the divider, the three young peepers, now bathed in the warm waters were still eavesdropping on their conversation
"so Cindi's there too eh?" said a delighted Mike.
"so is it gonna be a threesome?" asked Sam.
"most probably" said Ramon
"then it's perfect!!"
"you know Cindi, men sometimes are pretty hard to understand" Mikaela started the conversation
"Specialy for a guy like Eugene…ahh that's so refreshing" Melody Added
"but I only wanted to be with him" the young girl replied with a relaxed tone in her voice
"I'm sure he's happy that your by his side"
"its just that he's only looking out for you, can you go a little bit more lower, Melody… hmm that's better"
"but why is he angry at me?, he always gives me that cold stare of his"
"It only shows how he cares about you, it may not seem like it but he's the kind of person who cares a lot for the people he loves, a person willing to keep them out of harm's way"
"People like Eugene B. Tucker though have a long way to go from becoming a normal person"
"and a hard time getting a partner"
"guess you're right," Melody added with a laugh.
"We should do this more often, right, Cindi?" Mikaela asked the young girl.
"it feels so refreshing"
Suddenly the divider collapses, with the three peeping toms on top of it revealing the three young girls unclothed, to the boys utter disappointment they saw the three girls formed in a circle rubbing each other's backs with white towels.
"what the?! You mean to tell me they weren't getting intimate with each other?" Sam was disappointed
"Bummer" was all the disappointed Mike could say.
The three girls who were obviously outraged by the naked trio's intrusion started screaming
"PERVERTS!!!!" yelled a very angry Melody Perfacy, she stood up not minding that she was completely naked in front of three young men and grabbed some traditional Japanese wooden buckets and started throwing at the trio
"Sam, I can't believe you?!" shouted an angry Mikaela
"I'm sorry you know this is a big misunderstanding and I don't blame you for that, there must be some way we can work this out right?"
"SHUT UP SAMUEL!" Mikaela grabbed a bar of soap and threw it at Sam, who dodged it with the soap hitting Ramon in the head knocking him out cold.
Cindi who was freaked out upon seeing the trio's private jewels yelled like crazy
"NOOOOOO! GET AWAY!"
She ran into a small corner picked up a towel and a baseball bat
"YOU THREE DISGUST ME!!"
The outraged girl started pursuing Sam and Mike who were now running for their lives.
Cindi chased them all over the hot springs, finally the two young boys reach the main door.
"Hurry open it man!"
But suddenly the door opened revealing Eugene stepping inside, Cindi finally caught up to them and swinged her Bat, the two dodged the attack but…
"NO!"
Cindi delivered her strongest blow, a loud smack echoed thought the room. Little did the young girl know she hit Eugene, who was knocked out, falling unconscious, laid on the ground.
"Eugene! Oh my god!!"
After the Incident, Eugene was brought in the infirmary.
"hey dad, do you think this will work?"
"what will?"
"this"
Again a loud smack was heard throughout the Ptolemeios's corridors
The young Eugene had come about, with a very nasty headache, a nosebleed and a nasty slight horizontal cut on his nose
"what happened? Where am I?"
"you're in the infirmary, you've been here for about four days"
"what? How did that happen?"
"Cindi hit you pretty hard in the head, then I did the same thing to wake you up"
"which explains the injuries in my head and this nasty headache?"
"yup"
"thanks, and you're a sadistic dumbass"
"why thank you… Say what?!"
Before the conversation escalated into an argument, Tieria enters the room.
"Finally you're up, Eugene B. Tucker"
"yeah, sorry I've been out cold for a while"
"I admit, taking that blow on purpose can be quite foolish of you,the entire ship's safety can be compromised by your foolish actions, but at any rate that's not important right now, get those injuries treated and standby in the Exia after an hour, we are near A-Laws territory, we finally got a lead from our contacts, someone in the Union territory on the US may have the information we need."
With that the purple haired man left the room, followed by Mike's father Jim.
"Did you hear that Eugene? We're going to Earth! Finally we can visit the playboy mansion!"
"Do you think I'm really interested in that kind of stuff?"
"well Cindi told me we were going somewhere in Los Angeles when we reach earth, it's every man's dream to go in there and meet all the cover girls in person!"
Eugene didn't give a reply, he was just in his normal blank expression.
"look man, I'm gonna go there and no ones gonna stop me, if we're lucky enough, we might even meet Maes Hefner!"
"that kind of impulsiveness can compromise our whole mission, I wouldn't do it if I were you"
"cut me some slack man! This is the playboy mansion were talking here!"
"It isn't relevant to the mission"
"who cares?"
"I don't think you get it"
"sure I do, this is a mission for every hot blooded male born in this world!"
"then do that mission of yours some other time"
"no way dude!"
Eugene stood and left the Bed, wiped the blood off his nose, placed a band aid on the cut on his nose"
"hey, here's a change of clothes, your old clothes were kinda messed up so…"
Mike handed Eugene a small gym bag.
"Cindy brought them for you when we made a pit stop in one of the colonies, she bought them because she felt sorry about the little incident."
"can you tell her thanks for me?" asked Eugene
"you tell her man, I aint your middleman!"
Eugene changed into his new clothes, a sky blue long sleeved dress shirt rolled to his forearm and a pair of beige khaki pants and a white pair of sneakers.
"hey looks good on you" complemented Mike.
Eugene, the quiet type as ever ignored him and went to the hangar.
The young man entered the hangar and boarded the Exia.
"hey kid, there were no orders yet to launch, are you sure you wanna stay cooped up in there, you should be still in bed after what happened last four days" suggested Jim who was in charge of the mobile suit maintenance.
"I'll be fine" Eugene convincing the father of his friend.
After a few minutes the alarm sounded off with Mikaela's voice
"Attention! We have been spotted by A-Laws! We have three ships approaching us, Heat sources say they have Ten mobile suits in each one!"
Sumeragi slammed her fists on her chair "they knew we were coming!"
"Ma'am we have two commander-type Gaddessa units approaching! Followed by 20 Aheads and eight GN-X's!"
"Crew, man your battlestations! Ready the GN Missiles, Deploy the GN Field and Launch the Seravee and the Exia!"
