CHAPTER 3

Elisaveta joined the group at the tables to have lunch. The group had fun as they got to know her a bit more but she wasn't use to the 'spot light'. She clinched her fist with frightness but knows that she has people that she can trust around her. Kudelia wondered what happened to her friend. Elisaveta stopped eating and stared at her food. She dodged the question as she quickly finished eating and excused herself from the table. She bowed in thankfulness and left the group. They were confused. Kudelia hanged her head when she regretted asking her friend that hard question. Akihiro told her to relax and that she shouldn't feel bad. She has the rights, Elisaveta wanted to tell her but not right now.

Elisaveta wanted to be alone. She needed it.Her mind is still confused as she tried to adapt to her new life on Mars, once again. She is reunited with her past friends. Before her captivity, Karelia and Elisaveta would spent many hours, talking about freedom and gossip. Elisaveta would sneak into the space shuttles to Mars, just to meet her blonde friend. However, she was stopped by an unknown group. She was caught on t he act and kicked out of her living estate. She was homeless. She fled from her hiding spot on Mars as she didn't want Kubelik to hold a grudge about her.

Elisaveta sighed as she watched the hot sun burn the air waves. She was distracted when rubble of dust was heard behind her. She turned and saw the face. They smirked at each other as they hugged again. But this time, they meant it. Orga needed it, so did Elisaveta. She buried her face into his chest. She softly cried on him.

"I thought that you would leave me..." she whimper. "No one came for me..."
Orga stroked her hair, "You're not alone anymore Eli..." He smiled at her. "You got me, Mika, Kudelia and the others. The boys are willing to help you out."
Elisaveta stared at his pupil with tears down her cheeks. "I doubted you... I'm so sorry."
Orga tighten his grip. "We are going to get independence and I know that we can get it."
The two stared at each other for a while. Dusk slowly approached but the two needed some time along in the cockpit. Elisaveta needs to utilise her ability.

Orga showed her the Barbados. She grinned as she placed her palm on the metal. She recongised the beauty of the mighty weapon. This was the real deal. She looked up at the head with the yellow horn. Elisaveta looked back at Orga and smirked. Amazed to find the Gundam in good condition. After checking the system software, Orga showed her the Mobile Suit Workers. She laughed as she dashed towards them. She hugged them as they were toys. Orga admired it a lot. Elisaveta knew that she'll enjoy using these bad boys. For training and look out, Orga took Elisaveta to a private cockpit and showed her another toy. She stared into his eyes. She was speechless and dazed. There was no way that he found this. She tried to remember where she left her toy during captivity. Elisaveta embraced Orga before running up to the big machine. It was like the Barbatos, but more of a long range machine with a rifle and sword. She touched the metal and retrieved information of the new toy of hers. Orga smirked as he admired Elisaveta watching and analysing her toy. She loves it to bits. This one was a keeper.

Orga clapped his hands and got Elisaveta attention. The two needs to move and put it away. Only a selected few people knows about this machine. Elisaveta was curiously why, but understood the reason. You're better off making your toy outstanding and stronger because no one what it is capable of but also, no one knows what it looks like. Which is a bonus. The small tour to the cockpit was over. The two needs their rest.

Orga escorted Elisaveta to her room with Kudelia. Before they departed, Elisaveta grabbed his coat. She held onto to it for a while as she hanged her head. She felt guilty of doubting him but also having low faith in herself. She knew what she did wrong was too cruel for her but Orga is treating it like nothing happened to him. This was serious for her, but why? Orga eventually embraced her and kissed her forehead for a good night sleep. She was surprised with the kind action but knows that he does this to her when she blames herself. He understands her too well. Orga started to walk to his room as Elisaveta stared at his departure. Kudelia then opened the door and dragged Elisaveta in and insisted her to rest. The three ladies, including Kudelia's escort knew that tomorrow will be a long day. The plan for the Earth trip will continue. Elisaveta looked up at the ceiling when she laid on her bed. Her mind replayed the day's incident of escaping the blonde commander, the young kid's scream, the injection but also looking at her personal toy.
