(Gipsy's P.o.v)

Welp, here we go. Raleigh and Mako are gonna attempt to drift together to see if their compatable.

I stood still, feeling Raleigh's footsteps as he entered the com-pod, Mako's followed soon after.

I was able to see what was going on inside the com-pod/my head. Mako and Raleigh were in their suits, putting their helmets on.

"Alright, let's see if this old girl is still here" Raleigh says, strapping himself in.

Mako straps herself in. Mako was a Japanese woman with short, black hair and pretty eyes.

"Alright, let's see if Lady Danger still here with us" I heard the Marshall or Stacker Pentecost say over the intercom.

"Neural Handshake in 15 seconds, 14 seconds.." Tendo, one of Raleigh and Yancy's old friends counted down.

Each second just seemed so long, like a snail as humans would say.

"3 seconds, 2 seconds, 1 second" Tendo says.

"Neural Handshake engaged" My A.I says.

Suddenly I am pulled into memories, I know most of Raleigh's memories, Mako's not so much.

I could see and feel every memory of both of them, but when I saw Mako's, I was horrified and sympathetic.

~
Mako's memories was showing her as a child, running from a Kaiju in tears. She ran into an alleyway, trapped. She looked scared.

The Kaiju tried to get her, but was knocked back by something. I didn't see until after it went silent. She hesitantly peaked out of the alleyway.

When she looked over head, there was Coyote Tango, a Mark 1 Japanese Jeager. The Jeager of Stacker and his co-pilot, Tamsin.

Stacker climbed down, coming over to the child. He took her and raised her as his own.

We were pulled out of the Drift. Raleigh was stable, I wasn't sure about Mako.

"Mako. Don't chase the Rabbit you hear me." Raleigh says.

Mako gave a small nod. But then my plasma cannon activated by Itself. This alarmed everyone.

Then I realized something, the memory of Knifehead from Raleigh, was triggering my memories.

I was chasing the Rabbit.

"Who's Chasing the Rabbit!?" Tendo says frantically.

"We don't Know!?" Both pilots said, my cannon close to being fully powered.

"What's Going On!?" I heard Herc say.

"F**k. Raleigh. Private comm now." Stacker says.

Raleigh switched to his private comm.

"Raleigh. Remember when you told me that the Jeager was moving by Itself." Stacker says.

I could tell that he was walking somewhere where no one could hear their conversation.

"Yes Sir?"

"What if It's the one chasing the Rabbit."

Raleigh's eyes widen.

"How am I supposed to stop it!?"

"Think you Idiot!"

Raleigh tried to think. I'm in his mind, I know what he's thinking.

I couldn't control my actions and the memory was overpowering my will to stop.

"Mako. You promise me that you will not freak out?" He asks his co-pilot.

She nods. He cuts off all the comms and yells.

"Gipsy! Don't chase the Rabbit!"

The memory flickered.

Mako was beyond confused.

"Gipsy It's Not Real! Knifehead is not here anymore!" He yells.

The memory flickered again, this time I could almost see what was in front of me.

"That Bastard is not Here!! Snap out of it!!"

The memory flickered, but then faded.

My cannon stopped, lowering and turning back into my hand.

Raleigh put the comms back on. Mako was surprised, but Raleigh made a motion for her to not say a word.

The two got unstrapped and leave my com-pod. Raleigh looks at me before he left with Mako.

Oh Thank the Lord That's over! That was horrible! I almost killed people!

Dammit. I deactivate, sleeping.

-Later at Night-

I activated, stretching my arms. I look over at Cherno, was just now waking up.

"Vechernyaya tsyganka"
<Evening Gipsy>
Cherno says, stretching.

"Evening Cherno" I say to him.

Striker and Crimson were still asleep. I decided to just go for a little stroll on the beach, Cherno tags along.

Me and him stroll along the beach, looking up at the moon. It was a crescent tonight.

I remember from Raleigh and Yancy's memories of when their mother would sing them to sleep as children.

I smiled at the memory. Then, I heard Cherno singing a Russian song.

"Russia our sacred state, Russia our beloved country. A mighty will, great glory. These are yours for all time! Be glorious, our free Fatherland, Age-old union of fraternal peoples, Popular wisdom given by our forebears! Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you! From the southern seas to the polar lands. Spread our forests and fields. You are unique in the world, one of a kind. Native land protected by God! Wide spaces for dreams and for living. Are opened for us by the coming years. Our loyalty to our Motherland gives us strength. Thus it was, thus it is, and thus it will always be" He sang in English.

Well then, there you have it. Cherno is a damn singer. My voice sounds horrible when I sing.

We continued to wall along the beach, staring out at the water, which glimmered when the moonlight hit it. It was nice tonight.

Then we heard footsteps, making us freeze. We both slowly turn our heads and see Yancy, looking up at us with an amazed face.

"Der'mo"
<Sh**>
Cherno says.

"Um" I say.

We both look at eachother and then Yancy. How the Hell were we supposed to explain this!?

"O>O" Was all our faces.

There was a long moment of silence, between us. Not one of us made a word.

"Ok, I am not going to question why two Jeagers are just taking a stroll on the beach when their pilots are asleep in their rooms" Yancy says.

"O>O U>U O>O Ok" We say to him.

There was another moment of silence until I spoke up.

"We have a lot of explaining to do, don't we?"

"Yes. Yes you do." Yancy says.

Me and Cherno sighed. Then for the next hour we explained everything to him.
