Chapter 30
It was the day after Athrun, Nicol and Lunamaria had finally returned to the Minerva.
Not that Shinn cared all that much about that. Right now he was far more occupied with firing one bullet after another in to the target not that far in front of him.
But even true he did seemed to be concentrating quite hard on what he was doing.
One single look at his face. Would be more then enough to tell most people. That he was in a very crappy mood right now. And that it was properly a wise idea not to disturb him, or in some other way distract him.
"Damn it. Why the heck does those hellish nightmares keep pestering me? It's not like I have any problems remembering how, my family was kill!" The Impulse pilot mutter out in a hateful tone.
As he once again thought back to how the Freedom had been fighting those two Earth Forces mobile suit, just above him and the rest of his family.
Yet before he had enough time to start wondering why the heck those three bastards couldn't have found some other place to fight. His gun made a small clicking sound, that told him that the weapon was now empty.
Which made him lift his head and take a look over at the target, where he immediately noticed, that not even half of the shots he had fired, had actually hit their intend target. Which only served to piss him even more off.
"Damn you to hell!" He shout loudly. As he quickly pull his hand back, and throw the gun with as much force as possible. Straight towards the very thing he had been shooting at all of this time, making the handle of the small weapon hit the target directly between it's two bright glowing white eyes.
Not that his overly violent actions had much effect on the target.
"Man all of this is really pissing me off, we been stuck at this damn place since the Freedom and that blue Murasame blow the Tannhauser to smithereens. And I'm seriously bore out of my mind right now. Which is properly the main reason why I keep on getting all of these stupid nightmares. I really wish we could just hurry the hell up and get going!" He yelled, while giving the control panel in front of him a hard kick.
Which did nothing to relieve him from all the stress he was feeling right now.
As a matter of fact it had quite opposite effect. Seeing as the metal he had been so utterly determined to put at least a minor dent in, was quite thick. Which resulted in a small wavy of pain that immediately ran up through his foot.
"Well that definitely proves that I'm right, it really is going to be a bad day!" He muttered angrily to himself.
Just before he got somewhat comfortable on the cold metal floor, where he began softly rubbing his now sore aching foot. Trying to get rid of some of the minor pain he was still feeling.
Yet while he was preoccupied with that minor task. He didn't even noticed it, when his best friend enter the shooting range, where he immediately looked over at him with a slightly confused expression on his face.
"Good morning Shinn, what in the world are you doing down there?" The blond haired teen asked. Not doing anything to hide his curiosity.
Hearing his best friends voice. Was all that was need to make Shinn turn his attention away from his still aching foot. And up at his blond haired roommate and fellow pilot, where he almost immediately noticed the somewhat wondering expression that he had on his face.
"Ohh it's only you Rey. I didn't think anybody else would bother taking the time to come down here this early" the gundam pilot said, as he once again began rubbing his foot.
"I'm sorry if I interrupted you Shinn. But you still haven't answer my question, what's wrong with your foot?" Rey asked not once taking his eyes away from the short temper teenage.
Who was obviously thinking quite hard about what he had just asked him. And seeing as it was taking him so long to make up his mind about giving him some sort of reply.
Rey was pretty certain, that the red eyed teen did not want to talk about what was going on. Yet just as he was about to change the subject over to something else.
The pilot of the Impulse let out a long tired breath. As he slowly looked up at the ceiling, with a far away look in both of his eyes.
"It's not really that important Rey. I just been having my share of nightmares the last few days, which I'm sure you can understand can be somewhat stressful. So I kinda took out a bit of my frustration on the control panel" he said. Just before he lean back against the wall behind him.
Hearing him say that, and realizing what the problem was. Rey nodded a few times in understanding. Before he slowly reached up and rubbed his chin, in a thoughtful manner.
"Hmm I see. Maybe you seriously should consider going down and ask the ship's doctor to give you something to sleep on, you wouldn't be able to pilot the Impulse if you are completely exhaust. And it's not like you are the first soldier in existences, who is having problems sleeping at night!" Rey said in a tone. That made it pretty clear, that he took this subject VERY serious.
Thinking slightly about that advise. Shinn slowly shook his head a couple of times. "Nah I don't think that's necessary Rey. I'm absolutely positive that my nightmares will mostly disappear once we leave this place" he explained. With most of his attention turned upwards.
But even as he was sitting there, watching the grey ceiling like it was the most interesting thing in this world. He once more continued talking in the same far away tone as before.
"It's just that when we are sitting around here with nothing to do. My mind does have the tendency to wander off a bit, which does bring up some of the more painful memories of the past!" He said in a loud tone.
While he slowly reach up and gave the pink mobile phone in his pocket, a light squeeze as his sister's more cheerful smile appeared in his mind.
Yet while he was so far away in his deeply depressing thoughts about his sister. Rey was trying to come up with a solution, that would give his friend something to do while they wait for the Tannhauser to be repaired.
But seeing as they had been stuck here the last couple of days, and knowing that it would take some time before they got their next salary.
It was kinda hard to come up with an idea that did not required a whole lot of money, and would keep the short tempered teenage entertained, until the Minerva was fully repaired and ready to head out.
"Why don't you take a good long walk around town. That will give you some exercise and keep you occupied the next few hour?" Rey suggested. While still rubbing his chin in the same thoughtful manner as before. As he continued trying to think of something else the pilot of the Impulse could do.
Hearing those words Shinn slowly moved his hand from the small pink device, and looked up at his friend.
"I have already done that three times Rey. Which are to tell you the truth getting kinda boring. I actually think the only thing I haven't seen yet in this town is properly the sewer system, and that's not really one of those places I just have to see no matter what. But perhaps some other time" He said.
Just before he again reached down in to his pocket, to make extra sure that the pink cell phone was, where it was suppose to be.
Nodding a few times in understanding to that. Rey did his best to come up with another suggestion. When all of a sudden a loud growling sound could be heard from Shinn's stomach.
Which was more then enough to tell Rey, that his friend was starting to get quite hungry over there.
"Why don't we go down and get some breakfast, after that maybe we can play a few rounds of chess. Didn't you say the last time we played that you where going to beat me no matter what? Yet if my memory serves me right, I haven't yet experienced a defeat from your hands?" Rey asked. With a light hint of provocation hidden in his voice, which he knew was more then enough to goat Shinn in to accept his challenge.
And it didn't even take a second before Shinn slowly lifted his head and glared up at his friend, with a slightly angry glare in both of his red eyes, and a deep frown on his forehead.
But even true a small part of him did realize what Rey was up to, there was just no way in hell he even would back down from such an obvious challenge. He clearly needed to show Rey just how good he was a chess.
So with a deeply determined expression on his face, He hurried got back up on his feet, ignoring the light pain that was still running thought his right foot.
"You just bring it on Rey! I'm surely going to make you regret, that you even thought about challenging me to chess!" He said in a loud tone, which could properly be heard echoing through about half of the ship.
Not that the crew cared much about that, most of them where pretty used to hearing the pilot of the Impulse shout out like that. Especially if something was bothering him.
And just the sight of him jumping up in such a hurry, made a light smile ran over Rey's lips. As he slowly turned around and began making his way towards the exit of the shooting range.
"Hm ok then, if that's truly what you believe Shinn, then lets hurry down to the mess hall. So you can prove to me that you actually knows the difference between the knights and the pawns. I don't think I have to remind you how bad you where losing the last time we played" Rey said.
A part of him already knowing that these few words would most definitely piss Shinn even more off. Then he was already.
And it didn't even take a second before Shinn's voice could once more be heard echoing through the ship's halls.
"I did not lose that game Rey. You knows as well as I that we didn't finish that game, because we got interrupted by that attack on the ship!" He yelled as he hurried walked past his friend.
Not bothering to take the time and actually wait for Rey.
He want to get down to the mess hall as quickly as possible. So he could show Rey a thing or two about chess.
And just seeing the back of his friend disappear with such great speed. Rey couldn't stop himself from letting out a light chuckle, as he slowly walk after Shinn down the hall.
"He is still way to easy to provoke, I better make sure to talk with him about that, once we are done with our chess game" the blond haired teenage quietly promised himself. While wondering slightly, just how much more training was need. Before Shinn would finally be able to take out both the Freedom gundam and it's pilot Kira Yamato.
He did however not get much time to think about that. Before Shinn's voice came traveling down the hall one more time. "Hurry up Rey! I don't have all day to show you who the true master of chess is here on the Minerva!" He yelled loudly.
Before Rey once more heard him ran off. Most likely going the rest of the way to the mess hall, so he could find the very game he was so utterly determined to beat him in.
"And he doesn't have that much patience either. That's another thing I need to talk with him about later" he muttered, while he increase his speed slightly, so his friend wouldn't find it necessary to come and search for him one more time.

Meanwhile elsewhere on the ship.
Lunamaria had just finished giving the captain her report about what she had heard and seen yesterday, when she had spy on Athrun and Nicol's meeting with some of the crew from the Archangel.
And the many photographs and the tape that was lying on the table. Was more then enough to tell Talia quite then a few things about. The white space ships view on her lover.
"You did a really good job Luna. By the way do you have any idea about which direction the Freedom and that blue Murasame disappeared in?" The brown haired woman asked. As she reached out and picked up the one photo where the two mobile suits could be seen standing right beside each other.
She might not have shown it all that much, when she had first heard the tape. But she was generally surprised that the pilot of the Orb mobile suit, used to be a part of Zaft. And that way both Nicol and Athrun was talking to him on the tape, made it pretty clear, that both of them knew him quite well.
And now that she was actually giving it some serious thought. She faintly remembered reading shortly after Nicol had became a part of her ship's crew, that one of his old team mates was call Dearka.
But even true she could clearly hear more then a few people call him by that name on the tape.
She was still having some serious doubts, if this was actually the same Dearka, that had been the pilot of the Buster gundam and a member of the Le Creuset team.
It was most definitely one of those things she needed to look in to once she was done talking with Luna. It seriously never hurt to know who exactly they where going up against.
She did however not get long to think about the blond man, who's face was appearing on more then one of the photos Luna had taken of the meeting. Before the red haired girl interrupted her wandering thoughts.
"I'm sorry captain, but they both disappeared down in to the ocean immediately after they took off, and there was just no way my helicopter could follow them down there. So I have no idea which direction they actually went in!" She explained in a tone, that made it pretty obvious that she was a bit displeased, that she hadn't been able to figure out anything else about the Archangel.
Nodding a few times to that. Talia put down the photo of the Freedom and the Murasame, then reach out and pink up another photo which clearly showed the four people Athrun and Nicol had been talking with on the tape.
"Now then, seeing as we have clear confirmation that it is that brown hair guy who is the Freedom's pilot, and that the one inside that blue Murasame is a former Zaft soldier. But what I'm really curious about knowing is who is that brown haired girl together with them, she is the only person on these photographs we don't have any information about" Talia said.
While she sat there quietly a few seconds. Just looking at the brown haired girl.
Yet no matter who she was. It was pretty obvious from the photos, that she had quite a close relationship with the blond haired man. Who was standing protectively in front of her, the entire time the meeting took place.
But while Talia was trying so hard to figure out how the young woman was mix up in all of this. Lunamaria slowly reach out and took one of the other photo that was showing the person they where talking about.
"I don't really know who she is captain, they didn't mention her name once while I was listening in, and she was pretty quiet through most of their meeting" Lunamaria said, while seriously wondering who exactly that girl was, and how the heck they could figure out some more about her.
She was a bit of a mystery in Luna's eyes.
The only time she had seen her before, was a few days ago. When she had spotted her talking with her two fellow pilots about something, But unfortunately that had been at the end of the conversation.
So she hadn't been able to figure out her name back then either. The only thing Lunamaria knew for certain. Was that she had somehow sat up the meeting between her two friends, and the people from the Archangel.
"If you want me to captain. I can try and see if I can dig up some more information about her. I'm sure that at least somebody around town, knows a little about who exactly she is" the red haired girl said.
Before she again placed the photograph down on the table, while waiting somewhat impatiently to hear what the captain had to say about that suggestion.
And it did not take many seconds. Before the captain, looked over at the female pilot, with a slightly thoughtful expression on her face.
"Hmm I do see the logic in what you are saying Luna" the brown haired woman said. As she slowly placed her own photo together with all the others that laid spread out all over her table.
After doing that, she once more continued talking in the same thoughtful tone as before.
"Yet if that young woman went along with the others back to wherever the Archangel is hiding. I don't believe there is much point, in having you run around all over the city searching for her. It's not like having a little information about her, will bring us any closer to the Archangel's whereabouts" Talia said, with a deep serious look in both of her eyes.
Hearing the older woman say that.
Lunamaria nodded a single time in understanding. While trying her best not to show the captain, that she was actually somewhat relieved that she did not have to take off on yet another wild-goose chase.
"I see captain, then I'll stay here for now. Yet I most admit I'm a bit curious about what you are planing to do with all of those photos and that tape. It's not like any of it gives us a definite clue to find the Archangel, or what it's objective is?" The red haired girl said.
Before she took a brief glance down at all the photos, she had taken only a few hours ago.
Thinking thoroughly about what the girl had just asked her. Talia began gathering together all the photographs, while a tiny yet thoughtful vein slowly appeared on her forehead
"You are properly right Lunamaria, there isn't really overly much important information in this. Yet I still think it was a good thing we got it, you never know when the most insignificance things can be useful, in a desperate situation. Yet for now I'll keep it, until I can give it either to the Chairman or somebody else who can figure out a way to use it properly" she said. While wondering if her lover, could get anymore out of this information then she had.
Immediately realizing that the captain was quite far away in her own thoughts right now. Lunamaria decided to keep quiet until the captain was ready to continue with their conversation.
Yet as she stood there not doing anything. The deep exhaustion she had been feeling since she got back here last, night finally caught up with her.
And before she could do anything to stop herself. She let out a small yawn. That she truly was doing everything possible to hide.
But even with all of her strong effect, it still caught the captain's attention.
"If you are really that exhaust Luna you should have said so. I take it that keeping an eye on those two for such a long time was a pretty tough assignment. Yet seeing as we have nothing more to talk about at the moment you can go. Just do me a favour, and don't mention your mission to anybody. Just forget everything you heard back there!" Talia said in a slightly bossy tone.
Feeling somewhat shock at hearing the captain request that of her. Lunamaira found herself blinking a few times in confusion. As she wonder why it was so important that she kept quiet about her mission.
Yet realizing that she truly didn't feel like getting in to a longer discussion right now.
The red haired pilot decided that it was properly best that she follow the captain's orders. And with that in mind, she slowly lift her hand and gave the woman in front of her a small salute.
"I don't really understand why it's necessary to keep it a secret, but I'll make sure to keep my mouth shut around the other crew members captain. Now then if you will excuse me. I think I'll head down and get a little breakfast before I go back to my room!" She said.
Actually succeeded in sounding a tiny bit more energetic, then she really was.
And it was just after that sentence had left her mouth. That her right hand dropped away from it's position by her head, and was now once more pointing downwards towards the slightly dusty floor.
Hearing the girl say that. Talia smile a bit at the obvious exhaust girl.
"Please make sure to enjoy yourself Luna. It wouldn't be long now before the Tannhauser is fully operational again, which means that we will head out for our next assignment tomorrow" the brown haired captain said.
While turning her gaze away from the female pilot and down at a few piece of paper on her desk. That told her what supplies, that had been load on to the ship today.
Not totally pleased with the idea that she only had a few unknown numbers of hours to relax in. The sleepy red haired teen made the decision not to waste anymore of her valuable time in there.
She wanted to get back to her room as quickly as possible. So she could finally start on the very book she had been looking forward to read. Ever since the captain had asked her to spy on Athrun and Nicol.
"I'll see you later then captain. If there is anything else you need to know about my mission, please don't hesitate to call me!" Luna said, before she turned around and began making her way over towards the door.
With Talia watching her until the door flew shut behind her.
After that the short haired woman once more turned her attention downwards, towards the small mountain of paper, she needed to look through. Before the Minerva was ascribe to leave this place.
Yet just the sight of all the paper, was more then enough to make her somewhat long for a hot cup of newly made coffee, there really was a lot of things that required some of her attention right now.
"Hmm it would properly be best that I put in a request to get a few more beam rifles, we are kinda low on them, seeing as we haven't gotten any in our supplies since we left Armory One, and we have lost a great deal of them since the Junius Seven drop" she mumbled quietly to herself.
While using a couple of minor seconds. To try and figure out, exactly how many rifles the ship's pilots had gone through up until now.
Yet in the end she decided, that it wasn't really all that important how many they used. Just as long as they didn't suddenly run out of them someday in the middle of a battle against somebody.
And with that in mind, she turned her chair over and began working on the keyboard that was build in to her desk. Putting in a request to get at least five brand-new beam rifles, before it was time for the Minerva to leave tomorrow morning.
000000
At the same time down at the bottom of the sea.
There was a certain young man who was quietly watching the ceiling. As his lovely girlfriend was resting peacefully on top of him. And even true Dearka Elsman could honestly say that he would normally enjoy a situations such as this.
Now was not one of those times, simply because he really needed to go to the bathroom right now.
Yet he just couldn't bring himself to wake her up, especially since it had been such a long time since they had last had the opportunity to sleep beside each other like this.
Yet it was became more and more difficult for him to lay still. Seeing as he had pretty much stay there for two hold hours now, just waiting and hoping that she would at some pointing roll away from him.
It was however becoming pretty clear that she had really missed snuggling up in to his arms, like she was doing at this very moment in time.
And if anybody asked him he seriously wouldn't mind spending the entire day with the beautiful woman in his arms.
Yet as of right now, it was becoming quite urgent, that he at least got a few minor seconds apart from her. "I'm really sorry about this Mir. But there is just one small thing I need to do, then I'll be right back" the blond man whispered. While he slowly moved his hands away from her waist and up to her shoulders where he gently tried to lift her off.
He did however not have much luck with that, seeing as Miriallia apparently even in her sleep didn't like the idea, that she was being removed from her comfortable resting place on his chest.
So just as he was about to gently put her down on the bed just beside him. Both of her thin yet strong arms flew out and quickly wrapped themselves around him.
And before he had anytime to react. She once more snuggled back in against him, where she immediately let out a deep content sigh, as she continued her happy trip in dreamland.
And as cute as she looked right now. Dearka just couldn't help but find her actions just a tiny bit annoying.
"Ahh man Mir! You really are determined to make my bladder blow up" he quietly complained. As he slammed his head back in to the pillow, that was laying behind him. Now once again looking up at the ceiling, trying to come up with a new idea to move her away for just a second so he could get out of the bed.
Yet as he was thinking about that the brown haired woman slowly opened her eyes and looked up at him. "You truly do have a way to say the most romantic things to me, don't you?" She asked with a small teasing grin on her face.
Just as she rubbed her head back and forth a few times, against his muscular chest. Which she had pretty much been resting on, since the two of them gotten in to the bed last night.
Hearing her sweet voice ask that. Dearka immediately turned his gaze away from the ceiling and downwards at the woman he loved, where the first thing he saw was that grin she had on her face, which made it clear to him that she was in a teasing mood right now.
"I truly would be lying if I say that I didn't enjoy having you in my arms again. But there is just one small thing I need to take care of. So could you please let go of me Mir?" He asked, truly hoping that she wasn't going to find some mean way to tease him, before letting him go.
And once he noticed the grin on her face grew just a tiny bit in size. He couldn't help but feel slightly nervous about what she had planed.
Yet just as he was starting to expect some kind of tricky prank. She slowly moved her arms away and roll to the side. Which pretty much made him jump out of bed as quickly as it was humanly possible, before she had the opportunity to carry out her plan.
He did however not get far before he heard a sweet voice began talking to him in a deeply caring tone. "You better hurry back. It feels awful lonely in this bed all by myself" She said. Just as she playfully blow him a small kiss.
Seeing her do that. Dearka made a quick motion like he actually caught it, before it could get too far.
"Count on it my beauty, I'll be back so fast that you wouldn't have any time at all to miss me!" He said in a slightly loud tone, as he turned around and hurried left the room, utterly determined to get his small trip to the bathroom over and done with, as quickly as possible.
So he could once more get back to bed, and just laid there for the rest of the day holding on to her.
Yet once he was gone Miriallia leaned back against the soft thick pillow behind her.
"Hm maybe, I should have been a nice girlfriend. And told him that he was only dressed in a pair of box shorts and T-shirt" she mumbled. With a small amused smirk on her face.
Just as the door flew back open, and her from time to time dense boyfriend stepped back in to the room.
Where he immediately bent down and pink up his pants, which he hurried pull on. Before he turned around and once more left the room, with a slightly embarrassed expression on his face.
"He is just so cute, when he is being a scatterbrain like that" the young woman sighed. While she slowly rubbed her right cheek against the pillow, truly enjoying how soft it felt against her face.
She did however not do that for long, before she turned over and looked up at the ceiling.
Seeing as Dearka and her had been apart for so many weeks. A small part of her was already starting to miss having him there beside her. Even true it had only been a few short minute since, he had left their room the second time.
"I seriously hope he isn't planing to spend the rest of the day, down in the bathroom" she said quietly to herself.
Before she narrowed both of her eyes a tiny bit, now thinking about how nice it had been last night. To once more feel his two strong protective arms being wrapped around her.
It truly was great to know that there was somebody just beside her at night. It just didn't give her the same safe and secure feeling to cuddle with her pillow, as it did with the man she loved with all of her being.
"Maybe if the two of us is a bit lucky, we can spend the rest of the day in here together" she mumbled in a somewhat dreamy tone. As she thought about how long it had been since they had last done something like that.
Yet before she could really start daydreaming about just how the two of them could spend their day together. The silence was suddenly broken by an extremely hard knock on the door, which Miriallia realized could only belong to one certain person.
And it was only now that her roaming thoughts had been so shiftily pull away from the one she had missed the most these last few weeks. That she realized that there was actually a great deal of people, she had missed and wanted to talk too again.
Now that she was finally back on the Archangel where she rightfully belong. Fighting along side the many people she loved and cared so much about.
So while still thinking about that. She slowly sat up on the bed and looked over at the door. "Please do come in Mayu, you don't have to stay out there!" Miriallia call out.
Just as the door to the room immediately flew open, and in came the small brown haired girl.
Which Miriallia could truthfully say was like the little sister she had never had.
Yet before Miriallia could get her mouth open and say anything to the eleven-year-old girl. Both of Mayu's small feet left the floor, as she jumped full speed towards the very thing Miriallia was sitting on.
And after she land just beside her on the bed.
Both of Mayu's tiny arms flew out and wrapped them self around the older girls neck, while she immediately pressed her little face up against Miriallia's shoulder.
"It's so great that you are finally here big sis. I have really missed you a lot these last few weeks. It's just not the same if all of us isn't together!" She call out in a loud happy tone, while she kept on hugging the other person on the bed.
Not doing anything to hide just how exciting she thought it was, to have her third big sister figure here on the ship together with the rest of their somewhat strange little family.
If big brother Athrun was here too, then everything truly would be prefect in Mayu's eyes. Yet for now she was just completely and overly delight that at least one of them had return.
She was already looking forward with great expectation to spend some time together with the slightly older girl. "It's great to see you too Mayu. What have you been up to these last few weeks?" Miriallia asked.
While she slowly moved away from the other girl, and looked over at her with a slightly curious look, in each of her blue eyes and with a caring smile on her face.
Hearing her ask that. Mayu got a somewhat thoughtful look on her face, as she tried to come up with some kind of reply.
"Well you see big sis, there isn't really much to do down here, I have been playing a few pranks on grandpa Murdoch. Truth be told, I actually think he is still a bit mad at me for the last one!" Mayu explained, as a small devilish grin ran over her lips.
Seeing that. Miriallia couldn't help but roll her eyes a single time, as she slowly shook her head. Even with all of those months she spend on board the Archangel two years ago.
She knew that it required a special type of bravery to actually play pranks on the chief engineer.
His slightly cranky attitude, kept most people from even considering joking around with him. And as far as she remembered, it was only her boyfriend and Mu who had actually done something like that in the past.
Yet apparently Mayu was also one of those few people. That wasn't totally freaked out by some of the nasty things, the large mechanic would say when he was truly pissed off about something.
"I guess it's a good thing that Mr Murdoch is such a kind person. I can still clearly remember the very first time I met him" Miriallia said, as she used a few seconds to think about the past.
Before she once more continued talking about her first impression of the chief engineer.
"Back then I actually thought he was a bit scary. It was only later that I realized that the way he would some time yell at us, was his way to make certain that nothing bad would happened to any of us!" She said.
As he thought a few short moments about some of the more colourful things. She had heard the large man yell at some of the other mechanics, when they had done something wrong. It truly wasn't the most friendly things he would say to them.
Blinking a few times at that, Mayu nodded slowly in agreement. "Yeah him and grandpa Waltfeld are the most fun people to mess with on this ship. And if you think about it, then it's only the other mechanics he really gets angry at!" The eleven-year-old girl said.
Before she slowly laid down on the soft bed, resting her small head on Miriallia's lap.
Seeing her do that. Miriallia could not help but smile a bit.
"Yeah I know that Mayu. But perhaps it would be a good idea that you don't annoy them too much, each of them does after all have very important jobs on board this ship. And if you are so anxious for something to do, I have a few minor few presents for you over in my back, which should definitely keep you entertain the next few hours" the oldest of the two brown haired females said.
Hearing her say that.
Mayu immediately sat back up on the bed again. "What is it big sis? What is it!" She asked two times. In a loud excited tone, and with both of her eyes pretty much shining with expectation.
And just sight of the girl looking so happy. The smile on Miriallia's face crew a little bigger, as she slowly moved away from her comfortable location on the bed, and made her way over to the bag pack she had brought with her down there.
"Wait just a second...!" She said, while she rummaged through her small blue bag for the gifts, she knew was there somewhere.
Yet seeing as she hadn't really put all that much effort in to packing the thing properly. It took her about two minutes to find the thing she was looking for.
And with a little difficulty, because of all the other things stuff down there, she pull out a small green and yellow package.
Which she immediately hand over to the highly excited child. "Here you go. I hope it's something you can use" she told her in a kind tone, just as the small girl began tearing the pretty colour gift-wrapping paper away from whatever was hidden inside.
And once all of it was gone. Mayu found two mangas and a anime dvd box contenting an entire series. Which Miriallia and her had discussed more then a few times that they should see, once they had the opportunity.
"Wow! This is great big sis, thank you very much!" Mayu said, as she quickly moved over and gave Miriallia a short hug.
"I'm just happy that you can use it Mayu. I know that it can be kinda boring being stuck on this ship for such a long time, with nothing to do" Miriallia said as she lift her arms and was just about to hug the small brown haired girl back.
When Mayu once more pull away from her, where she looked at her with a truly happy expression on her face.
"Of course I can use it! I'm going to go read these mangas right now!" She said loudly. Before she jumped up from the bed and began making her way over towards the door.
Just as it flew open and the former Buster pilot stepped back in to the room. Yet before he could even get his mouth open and say anything to either of the women in there.
Mayu quickly maneuvered past him and out of the door. "Thank you again for the gifts big sister, I'll see the two of you later!" The youngish crew member of the ship said loudly. Just as the door flew back shut after her.
And once she was out of sight. Dearka turned and looked back at his girlfriend with a slightly childish expression on his face.
"So she gets a gift after you have been gone for such a long time. But what about me don't I deserve to get one too?" He asked. Actually making it sound a bit like he was deeply disappointed that his lovely girlfriend hadn't brought him some kind of present too.
Letting out a small sigh.
Miriallia stood up from the bed and slowly moved over beside him. "Who in the world say I didn't bring you a present too? But as much as I would to give it to you now. We have to wait until tonight" she whispered, with a slight hint of seduction in her voice.
Which the brown haired woman knew, would drive Dearka crazy. And make him even more curious, about seeing what she had brought him.
Hearing her say that. Dearka could not stop himself from blinking a few times in confusion, as his mind began trying to figure out what in the world she was planing to give him and why exactly it had to wait until tonight.
Yet just as he was about to ask her about it. He noticed the slightly wicked yet seductive smile she had on her face. Which made it pretty clear to him that she wasn't going to tell him no matter how many times he asked.
"Ahh man Mir that's not fair! I really want to know!" The blond man said. This time sounding even more like a child then he did before.
Not being effected by his words at all. Miriallia slowly moved in a plant a small kiss on his left cheek.
"You just have to be a good boy and wait. I promise you I'll show it to you tonight. Now lets go down to the mess hall and get some breakfast, I'm hungry" she said still sounding slightly seductive.
Before she turned around and began making her way over to her back pack. Making sure to slowly swing her hips from side to side, in a way she knew would most definitely get her boyfriend's attention.
And she didn't even have to look over her shoulder, to know that Dearka was having quite a tough time. Keeping his gazes away from her cute little behind.
And it was only when she picked up his sweater and throw it in to his face. That he finally snapped out of his somewhat naughty thoughts about his girlfriend.
"Please do hurry Dearka, we don't want to be the last once to get down there. I want a real big position of the chef's food. The last few weeks I haven't gotten much else to eat other then what pizza and Chinese food!" She said. Before she pulled her flimsy purple nightgown over her head.
Which of course served to make a round of new naughty thoughts ran through Dearka's head.
He did however not get long to enjoy the sight of her, dressed in nothing else then her bra and panties. Before she began getting in to her normal day clothes.
And it wasn't long after that. Before the young couple stepped out of their room. And after taking a small look around out there they began heading in the direction of the Archangel's mess hall, where they could both smell a nice aroma of newly cooked food.
To be continued.
