I was walking Ann back to the landing pod with N.

Ann was asking a lot of questions, for both of us.

"Why do you have a halo? What are the light things on your head? What is your tail filled with? Why do you have tentacles that can come out of your back? Where do they go when you put them away?" She asked away.

Me and N couldn't keep up with all he questions, so we just looked at her with a smile while trying to listen to what she's saying.

We still had no clue.

Eventually, we got to the landing pod, and got inside.

I introduced V and... Uzi❤... *ahem* and Uzi to Ann.

They weren't really sure how to feel about her since she asked a lot of questions, and didn't really give people a chance to speak.

"Okay, so are you going to keep speaking until you lose your voice, or are you here for a reason?" V interrupted all of Ann's questions.

"Oh, right, sorry." Ann said, fixing her glasses and writing and doodling on her clipboard. "I just came here to ask questions and analyze a disassembly drone. Its been my dream to meet one since I was like...9!"

"Riight... Well, now that you've met one, can you get out now?" V said rudely.

"Not yet, I still need one tiny thing." Ann said as her glasses lit up like in an anime.

"Oh dear robo-jesus, what?" Uzi said, slightly scared. Or at the very least concerned.

"DNA!" Ann said innocently.

She took out some tweezers and pluck a hair from N, earning a little 'ow' from him. She put his hair in one of those plastic bags that you and zip closed, and put it into her pocket.

"Thanks! I just need it for research." Ann said and left.

We stared at where she was previously standing, confused, for a while before I went after her.

"Wait! Where are you going?" Uzi asked, pulling on the hem of my sleeveless turtleneck.

I blushed a bit at the cute sight since I was a bit taller than her and she looked so cute like that!!!

*I'm going after Ann. She intrigues me.* I typed on my visor before exiting the pod while waving bye.

I quietly stalk Ann as I watch her go back to the colony. I don't know why, but I didn't want her to know that I was here.

"I know you're there, S." Ann said happily while continuing to write on her clipboard.

I sheepishly stepped put from behind a rock, embarrassed that I got caught.

"Why are you stalking me?" Ann turned around to face me, a smile still on her face.

I stayed quiet for a moment. *You're interesting. I want to know what research you're doing.*

Ann slightly blushed at me calling her interesting.

"Oh. Well, it's probably nothing you'd understand- N-NOT THAT I'M CALLING YOU STUPID OR ANYTHING- YOU'RE NOT- I MEAN-..." Ann started stuttering out before turning back quickly with bright blush on her face and quickly walking, me trying to keep up with her.

We got back to the colony and entered as all of the guys in the WDF  started waving at me while smiling.

"How do you know them? I thought they would've been scared of you." Ann said while pointing at the WDF workers.

I put on my jacket(don't ask where she was keeping it) and put it on, as well as my hard hat, showing that I worked for the WDF.

"Woah! I didn't think women even could join the WDF. Everyone who has joined has always been men." Ann said while giggling.

I giggled along with her until we got to a door with 'A5' written on it.

"Here's my residence, sorry it's kind of a mess." She said nervously.

I walked in, it was so cool! I looked around in awe. It was a surprisingly big residential lot/house, and despite Ann saying that it was a mess, it was really clean with only a few clothes scattered on the floor, most of them near a door that said 'Charlie' on it.

"You don't want to go in there, its such a mess, plus, Charlie, my sibling, doesn't like it when people enter her room. [Usually I would say 'without permission', but Charlie doesn't like people entering her room period.]"

I chuckled at Ann's comment.

Ann blushed at my chuckling, and lead me to a bedroom(not like that). Inside was a big bed and a table with sciencey stuff on it like test tubes in test tube racks, and beakers.

She went up to the table and put the strand of hair she got from N I to a test tube and then took a breaker with a clear liquid inside it and poured it into the test tube with N's hair in it, and swirled the test tube around, making the water slowly turn blue. Ann smiled and set it up to a contraption that turned the liquid into a purple and it slowly dripped out via the other side.

(Like this:)

It looked really cool! But she was right earlier when she was stuttering, I didn't understand a thing

It looked really cool! But she was right earlier when she was stuttering, I didn't understand a thing. She tried explaining it too me, but I still didn't understand any of it.

"once this is filled up, I should finally be able to complete it!" Ann nearly yelled excitingly.

*Complete what?*

"My studies! I want to study and learn everything there is about, well, everything!" She said and twirled around happily.

She's weird.


I like her.
