Fanfic: Chapter 14 – In my Life (The Beatles) 
 
Lisa  
 
She has been most of the day away from her… she is seated in front of her station and can hear the jacking of the bunnies.  
 
– Diana told me that she spent the night with him again – its Sammy trying to talk as low as she possible can  
 
– You have to believe half of what Marcusson says – now is Kim  
 
– Yeah but it might be part true… I mean Minmei is missing, it has been published in all papers, it has been a great news  
 
– Yeah but having her staying with Rick, doesn’t mean they had sex  
 
– You are too naïve or silly Kim, of course they had sex. Rick has been like a dog after Minmei for years, they don’t spent the whole night playing monopoly.  
 
– Stupid Rick, how can he do that to Lisa 
 
– Any man in his senses and with blood in his veins, would do the same, is not matter if you loved your girlfriend or not, she is Minmei – says Jeferson  
 
– He is in love with Lisa 
 
– How do you know it, he has confirmed it, besides that it doesn’t have anything with love, he just had the opportunity to fulfill everyone’s fantasy 
 
– You said it because you’re man, ok he fulfill his fantasy but he is going to lose Lisa  
 
– Who knows Kim, Lisa is so in love with Rick that probably wouldn’t mind her 
 
– She would never Sammy, she has more dignity that any other woman I know  
 
“Not anymore Kim, I could even let this pass and pretend nothing happen to have him by my side” – thinks a sad Lisa 
 
– Yeah but she is in love and that put your defenses down, you stop thinking right  
 
– So you are always in love, isn’t Sammy? 
 
– Funny, I just hope I’m wrong and she send him to fuck himself, Lisa is too much for that silly Pilot  
 
– A few days ago you said that they were right for each other, that Rick was a wonderful man and that will surely make her really happy  
 
– That was before he cheated on my friend  
 
Lisa just listen, pretending she is reviewing the report of the last counsel meeting, but she just cannot be able to concentrate in something else that the comments on the latest chapter of the Hayes-Hunder-Lynn Soap, at least it helped her to keep away the images of him doing naughty things with Minmei, her memories of her making love with him were replaced of those of him with her – “you could said it, I become Teresa from the Unbearable Lightness of the Being” 
 
– Don’t listen to them – it was Vanessa – they don’t know what they yapping about, it’s really easy to have an opinion when it’s not your problem  
 
– Probably Vanessa but… - her voice starts to break  
 
– Why don’t you go to have a cup of coffee and some air, clear your mind, if something urgent comes I’ll text you – “and I’ll speak with those insensitive witches”.  
 
– Thanks  
 
Lisa steps out the bridge thanking Vanessa for being so polite, perhaps all she wanted was space to join the juicy conversation of the other bunnies, but what the hell she was the laughing stock of the base – “I’m the most famous cheated woman after Jennifer Aniston, but girls let me tell you that he wasn’t even my boyfriend, he was cheating on Minmei with me” – this thought puts a smile in her face – “well… at least that dumb satisfaction I had, he betrayed you with me even if at the end he return running to your arms”. 
 
Enters the canteen and orders a decaf coffee, her head is buzzing and the bunnies’ jacking didn’t help her at all with her constant headache. From the speakers of the canteen is playing oldies and thanks Pete for being a nostalgic as her.  
 
– Great music selection Pete – says while waits for her coffee  
 
– Many pilots ask me to put some Minmei but I cannot stand her voice, it sounds like Minnie Mouse in helium if you ask me  
 
– I kind of share your opinion, one day you’ll have to let me download your treasures into my IPod  
 
– Of course Commander, anything you need… by the way – says while hands her a tiny cup – I thought you needed something stronger than a decaf – she realizes its an espresso  
 
– I look that bad  
 
– Just for those suffering of the same pain, I also had a killing Christmas – “I don’t think as killing as mine” thinks Lisa – just one piece of advice stay away from tequila  
 
– And you from vodka – “and love” – thanks Pete  
 
Decides to go out to the terrace and enjoy the sight, there she can still listen the music and feel the air on her face which make her feel better instantly… the song playing is an old friend, Claudia dedicated to Roy in several occasions and he even played it one time under their window back in old Macross City and sang it way out off key. Lisa thought it was the most romantic thing on earth  
 
There are places I remember  
All my life, though some have changed  
Some forever not for better  
Some have gone and some remain  
All these places had their moments  
With lovers and friends  
I still can recall  
Some are dead and some are living  
In my life I've loved them all  
 
“Places I remember, they all have changed so much, my country is gone and I won’t be able to walk around in Trafalgar or seat in the park nearby the Houses of Parliament and listen to the Big Ben bells, to attend to a concert in Wembley or just walk around London. I’ll never be able to shop in the 5th Avenue with Claudia, or pull an Audrey Hepburn eating a pretzel while watching a window in Tiffany’s, we won’t go to Broadway musical, even the four of us walking in the wheat fields in Arkansas, or go to a beach, so many places, so many friends that are gone.  
 
But of all these friends and lovers 
there is no one compares with you  
And these memories lose their meaning  
When I think of love as something new  
Though I know I'll never lose affection  
For people and things that went before  
I know I'll often stop and think about them  
In my life I love you more  
 
“I walked the streets of London with Karl, but no with you, I won’t be able to take you to Freddie Mercury’s place and write something on its bricks for future generations, but we cannot walk together in Macross, not holding hands as a couple. You make me forget all lovers, and even those who were before you still have an important place in my heart and memory, even when I think about them often, you are and will be the one I love more, you’ll be always the one, the love of my freaking live”.  
 
Though I know I'll never lose affection 
For people and things that went before  
I know I'll often stop and think about them In my life I love you more  
In my life I love you more  
 
“It doesn’t matter where you are, I’ll always think about you, because in my life I love you more” 
 
– Who knows, she is head over heals for Rick – repeats out load what Sammy and Kim said – She will never do that, she has more dignity than any other woman I know  
 
“More dignity of any you know… not anymore, not after him, I danced with the devil and expected him to change, but actually he changed me. I’m not as strong as I used too, I’m not Ice Queen anymore… I don’t want her to return, I like Lisa… but what else I could do” 
 
Though I know I'll never lose affection  
For people and things that went before  
I know I'll often stop and think about them  
In my life I love you more  
In my life I love you more  
 
“Even though I’ll never stop caring for those persons already gone, that I’ll remember them for as long as I live, I love you the most… even if we are apart… that’s it Hayes… leave, not being here next to him, love him from the distance” the more she thinks about it, better it sounds, so she stands up and walks towards the edge of the terrace.  
 
– Accept it you lost him – says out load whiles tries to hide a tear, but a sound makes her direct her sight to some VT flying  
 
“Yeah leave, that’s the better solution, at least while this feeling sways away, a good idea” – continue thinking while thick tears fall – “just be away from here and leave all behind me, return when my heart found some peace again and my brain returns to normal function” 
 
Rick 
 
He is still trying to process what he spoke with Minmei, she wishes to marry him and be a family, to become a civilian and she a housewife. They couldn’t even think about it, people need them, they need him to protect them and she for inspiration, marry her, live with her, leave the army and Lisa, his Lisa, aside.  
 
He remembered that once they have dreams about their future together, but now it felt almost impossible, in great deal because he doesn’t want those dreams anymore.  
 
“Only if you asked this a year ago, I wouldn’t even blink; I would resign without second thoughts and became a civilian running to search refugee, I even could become one of those husbands carrying his famous wife purse in the gala events you had to attend, I could be in your shadow loving you. But not now, no when I tasted what is like to be with someone expecting so much more from you”. 
 
He rather to see the sky, so clear and sees several VT flying, he can hear Minmei singing in the kitchen while is preparing breakfast, the song is the one that Claudia and Roy used to dedicate each other, he played it often in his guitar and called it “Beautiful Grant Song”, it sounds so strange in Minme’s voice but not bad at all. He knows the lyrics, because he once helped Roy to serenade Claudia, well he drove the care and stayed there while Roy sang really awful, and he thinks it would be a wonderful homage to do the same for Lisa.  
 
There are places I remember  
All my life, though some have changed  
Some forever not for better  
Some have gone and some remain  
All these places had their moments  
With lovers and friendo 
I still can recall  
Some are dead and some are living 
In my life I've loved them all  
 
“Places I remember and that have changed, brother the whole earth is different, it’s not what it used to, I changed also I don’t know for better… our beloved Arkansas, is another Grand Canyon, New York is nothing more than a memory that people like Claudia keeps alive, Beijing & Shangai are only alive in Minmei’s aunt and uncle restaurant, and London, I can imagine London every time I heard Lisa talked about it, I can picture her walking down the streets, with that strange elegant fashion only Londoners have. Roy in what moment my life gets so complicated or it is me the one, to become a civilian”.  
 
But of all these friends and lovers  
there is no one compares with you  
And these memories lose their meaning  
When I think of love as something new  
Though I know I'll never lose affection  
For people and things that went before  
I know I'll often stop and think about them  
In my life I love you more  
 
“How many lost friends, many of them I don’t even know if they are still alive or how they died, others perished in front of my eyes as Ben or you for covering my shift while I was wounded, you died in the arms of the woman you loved… the love of your life, for so long I thought that was what I felt for Minmei, for her voice and body, for her feminine manners and her playful way of being, but that all didn’t matter anymore when she took the mask off and let me see her real self, she is an excellent human being, my perfect woman, beautiful, smart, full of culture and love, funny but demanding, when I remember those green eyes, when I remember her kisses and the way she caresses me, leave the army, get married… marry to Minmei, have children with her”. 
 
“I know there so much more in life Minmei, I really know it… there’s war and dead, I know there’s people depending on us, I know… Lisa is there, she is here, there’s more in life that you and I, there’s someone else in my life.” 
 
Though I know I'll never lose affection  
For people and things that went before  
I know I'll often stop and think about them  
In my life I love you more  
In my life I love you more  
 
“How could I stop flying, she doesn’t understand it, she is beautiful and sweet and would be a great wife… but the SDF1 needs the most pilots available, I cannot retire, Lisa would understand me, I’m sure she needs the same… at least for what duty is worth, if only she doesn’t need me at I need her, I could settle with Minmei. No Minmei for your I won’t leave the army and much less leave Lisa, even I’ll never stop caring for you, I don’t love you, I think I never did, probably I remember you and sometimes I’ll miss you, but in my life there’s no one I love more than Lisa Hayes” 
 
– Rick don’t you listen the doorbell  
 
– Who could it be  
 
And there in front of each other, are two persons that haven’t been able to say with words what their bodies and hearts have been yelling since their lips touched for the very first time… “In my life I you love more”.
