Someone wearing a space suit. This person looked around, then jumped off the Gundam, only to land cat-like on the floor. The mysterious figure once again looked around. Once the scene was all clear, the person to removed their helmet.

A girl! Long blonde hair tied back into a tight pony tail, except for the fringe which draped over one eye. Her visible blue eye looked straight at the boys, causing them all to freeze. Then her gaze shifted to the old man who was coming towards her. She tensed, her whole body visibly more stiff.

"I'm Dr. J." Said the old man, "And you must be..."

Before he could finish, another voice shouted, "Get away from my pilot!"

An older women was suddenly standing between J and the unexplained girl, slapping his hand away.

. "I see your as bitchy as ever." Remarked J.

The women took no notice of him, and asked, "Are they the other pilots?"

"Why, yes indeed. And you see the one in the green tank top, that's Heero Yuy." Boasted J.

On hearing his name mentioned, Heero walked over to the small gathering. The others followed at a distance behind him. He stopped when he reached the girl, and stared at her.

'Where have I seen her before?' He thought to himself, perplexed at how familiar she looked.

He was about to introduce himself, when Duo butted in.

"Hi!" He exclaimed, and held his hand out to the girl, who shook it, "I'm Duo Maxwell," Then looking at the others, said, "Well, ain't you all gonna introduce yourselves?"

Shaking himself mentally for his rudeness in front of a lady, Quatra stepped forwards and also held out his hand, "I'm Quatra Rebarba Winner." He said.

The girls shook his hand tenderly. Quatra couldn't help but notice how small her hands were.

Heero stepped forwards now, but didn't extend his hand. "Heero Yuy." He said, his voice like nails on a chalk board.

"Trowa Barton." He politely nodded his head to her, though he too did not extend a welcoming hand.

Wufei, on the other hand, refused to even look at her. He had kept his back on her through out the whole thing. "That's Wufei." Explained Duo, "He doesn't much care for women."

Wufei 'humphed' at that last remark. "

Not meaning to be rude," Said Quatra, ever so politely, "But, what is your name?"

The girl smiled, a small chuckle escaping through closed lips.

"My name is Lyra" Her voice sounded like a summer breeze, soft but with an edge of forewarning. She turned her upper body gracefully, her hand indicating towards her Gundam. "Is The Windsinger."

The old women came behind Lyra and placed a hand on her shoulder, "Open the hatch." She commanded.

"Yes ma'am." Lyra said, as she whirled around to face the Windsinger. She moved the hair from the face and stared intently at it.

Duo went around to her side, to see what she was looking at. What he saw, scarred the life out of him.

Her iris's and pupil's had gone, all that remained were the whites of her eyes. He heard a faint click, and saw the hatch of the Gundam open.

Lyra turned and faced him, her eyes were returning to their original form.

"What did you just do?" Asked Duo.

"It's a long story." Lyra replied.

"I like stories."

**********

All of the pilots were gathered around the table. Their professors/trainers stood behind them.

"SO, c'mon then Lyra." Pushed Duo, ""What happened with your eyes?"

"Well, when I first became a Gundam pilot, Dr. K decided that to make me closer to my Gundam, she would insert a microchip in my brain"

"Brilliant" Complemented J, "But, why?"

"Like Lyra said, I thought that it may help her adapt better to her new situation." Came Dr. K's curt reply

"So," Said Trowa, "What does this chip do?"

"It connects me to the Gundam." Answered Lyra like it was the dumbest question in the world.

Then seeing all the blank looks she was getting, she sighed,

"Let me explain. If the Gundam was being hacked into, I would feel it. It relies on my brain power during battle to sustain it's fighting composer."

"Wow." Murmured Duo.

"Now then." Said Dr. K, "It's late. Lyra bed."

************

The next morning, Duo was getting impatient. He banged on the bathroom door. "C'mon! While I'm young!" He was about to bang on it again, when the door opened to reveal Lyra with her tooth brush hanging out of her mouth. Duo was stunned. All she wore was a blue tank top and shorts.

"Oh, sorry." he mumbled, feeling his face going red, "I thought that you were Yuy." Lyra turned her back to him, and he heard her spit out the toothpaste from her mouth. She wiped her mouth with the back of her hand, and asked, "Why are you embarrassed?"

This only made it worse for poor Duo, his face resembled a small tomato. "Well, it's just....uh...you see...." He tried. "

You haven't you ever seen a girl in her night stuff before" She helped,

Duo just nodded, Lyra smiled and walked away. Duo watched her every move.
