fanfic = Chapter Nine – Mayan Island

The relationship between Shin and I was basically of companionship, within the base he was a pilot and I a bridge officer. Outside a couple of lonely people carrying similar emotional baggage, which we never speak about, during less than a year Shin Kudo was a great support, and it wasn’t until a month before his new assignment that the companionship change into something else.

We went out for dinner and as the gentleman he was he walked me to my little flat

- Would you like to come in for a cup of coffee

- Don’t you think will give the base gossip material

- I don’t think so Lieutenant, but most important I don’t care

- Then I will love to and continue the evening

We enter the apartment and his comment was about the space.

- I don’t understand why you complain so much about your apartment, you should expend one night in my quarters and then we can talk about space.

He’d already taken seat in my tiny living room and I answered him from the kitchen where I was preparing two cups of coffee

- I know I overreact about the size, but I cannot get used to…

- Live as any other human being

- What are you talking about? – I asked him while I put the tray with the coffees and the sugar

- I read your file when they inform me that you would be within the group of people I had to train and even now I cannot understand how is possible you are starting from zero, when your father could…

- Because I don’t want to, I don’t think it is fair that just because I’m an Admiral’s daughter I should be treated as I was first in the secession line for England’s Crown.

- But your are the heir of a long military line

- And what difference it makes, at the end it won’t make any difference being the daughter or Admiral Hayes or even Winston Churchill’s if you suck and being the sun of…

- A fisherman from a small village near Osaka

- If you are an excellent combat pilot

- I think that does not matter at all… I mean being a good combat pilot does not make a difference

- Are you crazy, all reports mentioned you as a big hero during the battle of the islands

- It didn’t matter, I couldn’t save the only person I really cared about in that fucking island

- What happened there for real, the reports are very confusing and Roy Fokker is extremely secretive about it

- What do you know?

- What it’s stated in the reports

- The SDF-1 was not the first source of Robotech Technology in the earth

- I begged your pardon? – I asked kind of shock – if there would be that kind of power in the earth before, we would know it, that kind of technology cannot be unnoticed

- Maybe if that technology is treated as mysticism

- Do you mean to the

- People of the island treated the technology as it was something, how to put it…

- Mother earth, the absolute goddess

- You lost me?

- My father used to tell histories about the island, he visited when he was assigned in Hong Kong long before he got married and a mate took him, it was as a lost paradise only a few knew about, like those surfers’ beaches that in time turned into urban legends.

- So you knew about it.

- I always thought my father invented all those histories, about the island and its people, he compared with druids… it wasn’t until I received Vanessa’s last letter that my “neverland” island existed and that its people worth ship nature and a bird god, that I understood it was for real

- Vanessa Shaw?

- Yeah, did you meet her?

- She was Aries Turner right hand,

- She was the scientific officer leading the CVN-99 Asuka II, isn’t it?

- Yes, and an old friend of Roy… I believe they had a thing in the past, because their relationship was odd, between familiar and tens… she died in his arms, for I heard after the battle, he never told me anything, and by the look of your face neither you nor Claudia Grant know it.

Roy in loved with someone else, well that was a revelation, that was why he didn’t wish to talk about what happened in the island, to avoid hurting Claudia or showing his real feelings, then I was not sure what they were, now I know how strong Roy’s feelings were for Claudia.

- Your friend Vanessa was a shiny happy person, very different to the superior Ariel who treated natives as they were stupid, she died during the battle, killed by anti-GTU forces as Aries and….

- I also lost someone, it was almost at the beginning of the great scale attacks… he died in Sara Base – I said without understanding why I was opening like that with him, confiding something to him that I hadn’t the courage to talk with Claudia – we were engage to be marry and suddenly he was gone

- Sara and I, we didn’t even have that, she was… how you called them? The Highest priest, she had a magic connection with the technology – I was about to cut him but he proceed – I know what you want to say, how can you have a connection with technology, but it is alive… as the forces from the Star Wars movies

- The force will be with you

- Go ahead mock, but it is… I don’t words to describe what I saw during the last battle, all I can remember is watching Sara disappear within Kadun, their bird god

- I don’t understand… a Kadun

- Even if I try I won’t be able to explain it, I don’t understand it myself and I saw it, that is why I think Roy wishes to avoid the topic, it is impossible to explain it in a reasonable manner.

- How was Sara?

- Sara Noome, trying to describe her is almost as hard as trying to describe the last battle… she was beautiful, with a face that reflected wisdom, despite her jute her eyes looked as the ones from a 80 years old woman. I only expended more than a few weeks with her, but they were more than enough to realize that she is and will be the love of my life.

- Noome? – I remembered that within the survivors list there was Mao Noome – they were other survivors with that name

- Mao is her kid sister and the heir of Sara’s legacy, now she is part of an special program of the GTU, but enough of my memories, now is my turn to get inside your soul, what happened with him.

- With Karl?… we were together for a year, and then he died.

- There wasn’t anyone else in your live?

- No, I don’t need it, beside that I’ve been to busy with my military career, with the war and all around me, I couldn’t afford to waste my time looking for a new love, that I’m not sure I will find

- Or you are too chicken to try again and be hurt once more

- You tell me, you are in the same boat

- Yes... we are in the same boat – in that moment he came near me and kissed me gently in the lips and for an odd reason I kissed him back.

We were long time seated in the coach, just kissing each other… it was estrange and I think I wouldn’t be able to do it with someone else, but both had someone else in our minds and souls… Sara y Riber, and just like that Shin Kudo and Lisa Hayes became lovers, having the mutual consent of making love thinking about our lost love ones.
