Normal day, birds are chirping to each other, I wonder what they are saying. Can't be anything bad can it-

Code 152 notices some clothes on what seems to be a log, he looks over to the clothes, he grabs a part of the clothing.

This looks like...Lingerie, that means a girl is- or was here, but if so, where is she and who is she? This doesn't look like a standard parasite uniform, but if she is a parasite, she should be at the ceremony...

Code 152's train of thought was caught of guard as he heard splashing in the water, he squints his eyes and sees someone swimming in the lake, he closes his eyes, although he opens them and see's that she is not on the surface of the water anymore..

Okay, maybe she just dunked her head underwater, that's normal..

A few seconds go by.

"Is she drowning? I need to help her!"

152 sprints into the water, the water gets to his knees, he stops when he sees someone's head coming up to the surface, before even noticing it, she is looking at him, she is only a few inches taller than him. 152 freezes in place.

W-woah, she's beautiful, i-is she an angel? And why the heck does she have a fish in her mouth, that's unsanitary! But her pink hair and horns are so captivating,  I-Is this what they called 'love'? Or..?

"Uhm, you have a fish in your mouth, a-and you're naked!" 152 blurts out

The girl spits out the fish and replies with: 

"And here I thought you were dead."

She walks past 152 and heads to the clear part of the lake.

"Erm, your uniform doesn't look like a parasite, so what are you? And why are you in a Lake?" 152 asks.

"I thought ocean water was supposed to be salty" she completely dodges 152's question

"Uhh, this isn't an ocean." 152 replies. 

"I know that, but it's the closest that's to an ocean, so here we are. Anyway, don't you want to swim in the water?" She asks 152

"Me, swim? No i'm good, I don't think swimming in this lake is safe anyway."

She giggles, "I expect no less from a Med, always keeping to their standards."

"I-I'm not always like that, a-and could you please put some clothes on?" 152 retorts.

"Oh I get it, your some kind of pervert!" She points at you and has a smirk on her face.

"Huh, what do you mean pervert? What makes you think that?" 152 asks in confusion.

She points to 152's right hand, he then realizes what he's holding, he's still holding her lingerie. he panics and starts to move his hand outward, gesturing to the girl to take it.

"Anyway, what were you trying to do then, if you didn't want to swim?" She asks 152 while putting on her clothes.

"Simple, I was trying to save you, I thought you were drowning.." 152 replies.

"Very brave, say, what's your code and why aren't you a parasite." She asks him.

"My code name is 152, I don't have a nickname like anyone else, and I don't know why I'm not a parasite. I never chose to be a medic I was just drafted into the Corps." He replies. "Do you have a code number?" 

"Mm, yes I do, mine is code 002. But you can call me Zero Two." 

Woah, she's apart of the Nines! 

Zero Two notices a slight change in 152's face.

"It isn't that special, i'm not in the nines anymore, so you don't have to praise me like that, but, you really tried saving me huh? And it's good that you weren't frightened by my horns at all, so thank you". Zero Two says, with a beaming smile on her face.

S-She is an angel! 

"How much do you like the Medic Corps, hmm? Would you like to be a parasite, I could make you one.." She looks at 152 with determination.

"R-Really? well, I always wanted to pilot a Franxx and-" 

152 is stopped mid-sentence by Zero Two licking him on the cheek.

What the Hell!

"Your tastes has a bite and lingers on the tongue, the taste of danger, I like that." 

152 is in total shock, He's never been touched physically by a girl, he doesn't even talk to girls that often.

"Sorry would you have preferred a kiss?" She asks in a sweet tone.

"W-What, a kiss, isn't that-" You get interrupted by her.

"So you medics do know about that, either that or you haven't went through indoctrination." She says. "Hmm, would you like to be.. my Darling?" 

"D-Darling?" You ask. 

She doesn't mean a lover, wait no of course that's what darling means, so she wants  me to be her lover? But  why me? I'm just a Medic."

"Think about it-" She's interrupted by a man's voice.

"There you are, we've been looking all over for you, why did you run away?" He looks at your direction. "And as for you, you shouldn't be here, let alone with her, you're a Med she's an elite." He says, talking down to 152.

"Y-Your her partner? 080 if I'm not mistaken? You have an attitude, you forget what us Meds do, without us, you'd already be dead." 152 in a aggressive tone. 

The man looks at you with a you're-dead-kid look in his eye, mean while 152 notices Zero Two smirking at you.

"Enough fighting, this bores me already, let's go." Zero Two says, although she says that, she sounds like she's on the verge of laughing.
 
And with that, Zero Two and her partner are gone, meanwhile 152 is being escorted back to what he only knows is...

So I guess I'm heading to the Ceremony then? What a buzzkill, just when I thought I was going to be friends with a girl, another boy has to ruin it, just like always. I wonder, is he her 'darling' as well? I don't think an elite like her self would be that...that...reckless.
